Will the Bulldogs start 2013 with a win?
The Georgia Bulldogs hit Orlando on Wednesday to begin prepping in earnest for their New Year's Day Capital One Bowl matchup against the Big Ten's Nebraska.

In what was described as brief remarks, Athens Patch quoted Adams as saying that there were a whole host of reasons for his departure, but that he felt it was the right time.
