re: Mathis is going to start

Game is in Athens, where young Dawgs play better. He'll have seen action and contact. He'll know the staff has faith in him. If he gets it together, he looks like excellent long-term option for this squad.

. . . and most importantly the line seems to have cleaned up a lot of the BS that plagued the offense in the first half.

Not saying I agree with him starting, but there is a lot of sense in playing Mathis a good bit.
