Marlon Brown is a man of few words.

Ask Georgia’s freshman receiver what his first game week as a Bulldog has been like.

“I just cannot believe this is already here.”

Ask the genuine but quiet rookie what he thinks about coach Mark Richt’s vow not to play conservative football come Saturday against Oklahoma State, to let it fly in a quest to find some playmakers on an inexperienced Bulldog offense.

“Pretty much. Yep. Oh yeah. I’m really excited about that.”

Ask him if he’s ready to make a splash on the field.

“Oh yeah. Big time.”

When the Georgia offense trots onto the field at Boone Pickens Stadium Saturday, it will bring a host of players with little past playing time: Fifth-year senior quarterback Joe Cox. Sophomore tailback Richard Samuel. Brown, classmate Rantavious Wooten, first-year tight end Orson Charles, and sophomore wideout Tavarres King.

Despite that, Richt said this week that he and offensive coordinator don’t plan on pulling any punches in the play-calling.

“We’ve got to turn it loose. We can’t sit there and think too much,” he said. “We’ve got to let them all play, put them in a position to make them, and hopefully they will.”

There are receivers A.J. Green and Michael Moore, with plenty of game experience between them.

But Cox has one career start (three years ago), tight end Aron White also has but one, and Samuel will be getting his first in a sold out stadium on Saturday. Samuel has 26 career rushing attempts, and White has three receptions.

Skilled but unproven backups like Brown, Wooten, King and Charles will be invaluable in what should be a scorching day in Stillwater.

“Things have changed,” Cox said. “We’ve got a lot of different things that we’re going to try this year, but it’s not like we’ve had to change our offense around because I was playing and Richard was playing.”

“We’ll still do the same things, but we have a lot of new guys, especially at the tight end position, that we’re going to try and use more this year. It’s going to be a different look but we’re still going to try and do a lot of the same things.”

Stillwater – against a big-time, top-10 caliber team with a less-than-dominant defense – could be the perfect baptism by fire for the Bulldogs outside of Green, trying to recapture the magic of a spectacular freshman season, and Moore, trying to build on career highs in Georgia’s last game in the Capital One Bowl.

“I think everybody’s looking forward to going out there and making plays, and everybody’s going to have a great opportunity Saturday,” King said. “We’re all going to have our opportunities. I’m excited and ready for it to get here.”

Added Samuel: “We just know that the coaches decide, and whatever they think we should do we’re going to do.”

The plan for the Bulldogs, it seems, is to leave everything on the field. Young players will be given their chance to shine – if they do, they do. If they don’t they don’t. The stats aren’t there, but the potential certainly is.

So ask Brown what he expects out of himself among that plan, and you’ll get his most verbose, if not enlightening, reply yet.

“To be honest, I have no idea,” he said.

“I’m just going to go out there and give 100 percent every play and see what happens.”
