          ATHENS, Ga. -- Kicker Blair Walsh recently completed his Georgia career as the top scorer in SEC history. Drew Butler finished with the best career punting average in Georgia Bulldogs history.

          They leave enormous shoes for their successors to fill -- particularly because their likely replacements will be true freshmen this fall.

          But nobody around the Georgia program hesitates to place great expectations on the shoulders of new kicker Marshall Morgan and punter Collin Barber.
