Georgia WR Malcolm Mitchell to make season debut Saturday
By Jack Crosby
The Georgia Bulldogs will look to keep the momentum from last week’s win over Tennessee rolling this Saturday when they take on the Vanderbilt Commodores. When they take the field this weekend, they will more than likely have some help returning on offense in the form of wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell.

Mitchell has missed the first four games of the season and has not played a down of football since he tore his ACL in the 2013 season opener against Clemson, but according to head coach Mark Richt, Mitchell will be on the field this Saturday, barring a major setback.
“He would have to have a setback to not play,” Richt said.
Along with Justin Scott-Wesley, who is also returning, the Georgia offense is getting some serious weapons back to help out, and senior receiver Chris Conley noted just how helpful it’s been already, just in practice.
“Today it was back to the way it used to be,” Conley said. “Where you could just mix and match where (receivers) are because they know it all. And we haven’t been able to do for awhile. So that felt really good.”
Despite their loss to South Carolina a few weeks ago, Georgia is right there at the top of the hunt in the SEC East, so this boost on offense is a welcome present.
