Georgia has their first intersquad scrimmage Saturday in Athens. Here are the questions that we need to answers.

Georgia has their first intersquad scrimmage on Saturday inside of Sanford Stadium. With over half of their spring practices in the books, there's still plenty to learn about this football team once full pads and full speed play is unlocked.

Questions Georgia Needs to Answer During First Scrimmage

What Does The RB Room Look Like?
We've heard plenty of great intel coming out of spring practice about the running back position. Though they've been competing against the defense without the defense ability to attack their lower body. It's been tag off and thud speed most of the spring. The question Saturday is... will Roderick Robinson remain virtually untacklable. Robinson has had a tremendous spring practice to start, but no defensive back is ever going to tackle a 243 pound running back in the upper body. Today, we will find out if Roderick Robinson has the short area quickness to make people miss while still being able to run over people.

Will A Superstar Emerge in the Backend?
It's a great spring to find out who will play alongside Malaki Starks considering he's not available this spring. So, Dan Jackson, David Daniel, JaCorey Thomas, Jake Pope, and KJ Bolden can all compete against one another without having to allocate reps for Starks. The question Saturday is will a superstar emerge? KJ Bolden has been as advertised according to Kirby Smart, they are transcendent players. Will they pop on Saturday enough to climb up the depth chart? Smart has shown no qualms about playing young superstars.

Is the Offensive Line as Advertised?
Georgia's offensive line is Joe Moore caliber for yet another season under head coach Kirby Smart. They aren't a unit wondering who their starters are going to be... they are a unit trying to figure out how to play all of their starting caliber football players. Georgia's defensive line is still one of the SEC's best, but it seems as though they've been overpowered at times by this offensive line unit.
