New Orleans —- The biggest challenge facing Georgia in the Sugar Bowl is figuring out a way to control the four-headed monster that is Hawaii's receiving corps.

The Warriors feature three receivers —- Davone Bess, Ryan Grice-Mullen and Jason Rivers —- with more than 1,000 yards receiving and a fourth —- C.J. Hawthorne —- with 57 catches for nearly 800 yards. Sean Bailey, with 37 catches for 596 yards, leads the Bulldogs.


Georgia has defended well against the pass. It ranks 24th nationally, allowing 205 yards and 11 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. But the Dogs haven't seen anything like they will Tuesday night in the Superdome.
"To be successful in any offense, you need to have players, and Hawaii has great players at every position," Georgia defensive coordinator Willie Martinez said. "They have a great quarterback in Colt Brennan, some smooth receivers and what we think has not been talked about enough is their talented offensive line. They understand their scheme very well, which makes it tough to get to the quarterback. They get rid of the ball quickly, presenting us with a major challenge."
