Concerned about the Cowboys

In Georgia, the Athens Banner-Herald newspaper recently conducted an online poll. The question: Which game on the 2007 University of Georgia football schedule most worries Bulldog fans?
The results:
1, Florida (Oct. 27 in Jacksonville), 39.3 percent.
2, Oklahoma State (Sept. 1 in Athens), 31.7 percent.
3, South Carolina (Sept. 8 in Athens), 16.1 percent.
The Bulldog defense reportedly performed poorly during the Georgia spring game. Apparently, Georgia fans have researched the Cowboys and became familiar with Adarius Bowman, Dantrell Savage and Bobby Reid.
One of Georgia's better defenders, cornerback Paul Oliver, has been declared academically ineligible for the 2007 season. Instead of waiting until 2008 to play his senior season, he plans to petition the NFL for entry into the supplemental draft this summer.
Oliver is a talent. Against Georgia Tech last season, he limited superstar wide receiver Calvin Johnson to two catches for 13 yards. Johnson was the second pick overall in last month's NFL draft.
Without Oliver, Georgia has only three returning defensive starters.
