HOOVER, Ala. -- Kirby Smarts backfield uncertainty going into the season extends beyond who will be the starting quarterback.The first-year Georgia coach already had Nick Chubb working his way back from a knee injury when 1,000-yard rusher Sony Michel broke his left forearm in an all-terrain vehicle accident on July 3.Thats a tough situation, Smart said Tuesday at Southeastern Conference media days. Who would have thought at this point in time both guys would be on the sideline rehabbing?Both Chubb and Michel are among the leagues top runners, but it remains to be seen if either will be available for the opener Sept. 3 against North Carolina.Georgia has said Michel was expected to be out 6-8 weeks recovering from surgery. Chubb was averaging 124.5 yards per game when he went down against Tennessee last October. Michel replaced him and racked up 1,161 yards on the season, only to sustain the off-the-field injury two months before the season.I dont know the expectation for Sony, if hell be back or not, Smart said, referring to the first game. Well know a lot more when we get closer to the season.Smart said Chubb wont start out in preseason camp going through scrimmages and full contact work and has to continue regaining confidence in the knee. Freshman Elijah Holyfield, son of former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield, is among the potential fill-ins.Meanwhile, Georgias quarterback battle continues going into preseason camp among returning starter Greyson Lambert, Brice Ramsey and freshman Jacob Eason.The Bulldogs will definitely start out without defensive end Jonathan Ledbetter, who was arrested twice during a five-month span on alcohol-related charges. Hell be suspended at least two games under school policy following a DUI arrest. Earlier charges involving a fake ID and underage possession of alcohol were dropped.Georgia has had eight player arrests since Smarts hiring in December.Its unfortunate because Ledbetter has worked really hard this summer, Bulldogs offensive lineman Brandon Kublanov said. Hes got some issues off the field. Were not just going to drop him. Hes still part of our family. Well help support him, give him the support that he needs so that one day he can get back on the field with us.Smart brought a resume that included nine years under Alabama coach Nick Saban, including four national titles in his seven seasons as defensive coordinator. His hiring clearly generated excitement since the Bulldogs filled up Sanford Stadium for the spring game. As Smart put it, 93,000 hungry dawg fans came out.The expectations are clear for the former Georgia player. Mark Richt was fired after winning nearly three-quarters of his games over 15 seasons, then was quickly hired by Miami. Smart embraces a philosophy that sounds a lot like Sabans Process at Alabama covering everything from facilities to nutrition.Thats where I want to put my stamp on the University of Georgia, is the difference between a team and program, Smart said. A team is a group of young men playing together. The program is the entirety of that, what goes into that, how do we support these student-athletes off the field.-----Follow John Zenor on Twitter: www.twitter.com/jzenor-----AP College Football website: www.collegefootballap.org Air Max 720 Womens .2 billion agreement with Rogers Communications for the leagues broadcast and multimedia rights.

Jack Watts has helped Melbourne snatch a two-point win over Gold Coast in an AFL game that hit no great heights until a thrilling finish.Both sides were guilty of cringe-worthy turnovers, simple set-shot misses and fumbles at key moments, during a game played in perfect conditions at a sun-soaked MCG.Nonetheless it culminated in an after-the-siren finish as the Demons prevailed 9.12 (66) to 9.10 (64).Watts marked in the forward pocket and booted his third goal with a tick over two minutes remaining, giving the hosts a two-point lead.Watts then stepped up at the other end of the ground, marking in the goal square to seemingly deny Gold Coast victory.But Watts passed to teammate Bernie Vince, who picked out Suns spearhead Tom Lynch before the siren sounded.Lynch, kicking from beyond the 50m arc and tucked up on the boundary line, was unable to make the distance.It was Melbournes eighth win for the season.A further victory in the final four rounds will make it the clubs best year since 2006, when they most recently reached the finals.Max Gawn continued his career-best season, tallying an impressive 60 hitouts.Watts, Dom Tyson, Billy Stretch and Aaron VVandenberg were also among the hosts best in the scrappy clash.ddddddddddddLynch booted two goals and loomed the man most likely to drag his side over the line, having kicked the games opening goal after clutching one of his seven marks.The Demons defence were overwhelmed for much of the opening term, while the hosts were also devoid of rebounding run early.But the Suns couldnt convert their dominance, kicking only 3.3 in the first quarter.Melbournes first goal didnt come until the 24th minute of the match, courtesy of Watts.The Demons busted the low-scoring affair open in the second term with three goals in three and a half minutes, including two to Vandenberg.They boasted a two-goal buffer at halftime but wayward kicking helped keep the Suns in the contest.The third quarter was unremarkable with the exception of a bruising collision between James Harmes and Kade Kolodjashnij.The Suns hit the front in the final term after booting three consecutive goals, including a showstopper from Jarrad Grant, but couldnt stop Watts.
