First-year Georgia?coach Kirby Smart chose experience over youth in selecting a starting quarterback for Saturdays opener. http:///...nklin-titans-jersey/ .The No. 18 Bulldogs will start senior Greyson Lambert when they kick off the season against No. 22 North Carolina at Atlantas Georgia Dome.Georgia spokesman Claude Felton confirmed Thursday that Lambert had been given the starting job.Lambert, a Virginia transfer, went 10-2 as a starter for the Bulldogs last season, throwing for 1,959 yards with 12 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.Smart, a former Georgia defensive back, will make his head-coaching debut against the Tar Heels. He chose Lambert over freshman Jacob Eason and junior Brice Ramsey.Eason, from Lake Stevens, Washington, is expected to play against North Carolina, sources told ESPN on Thursday. He was ranked the No. 1 pocket passer and No. 13 prospect overall in the ESPN 300 after throwing for 3,585 yards with 43 touchdowns and 6 interceptions as a high school senior.The 6-foot-5, 235-pound Eason enrolled at Georgia in January and wowed fans with his arm strength in the Bulldogs spring game, throwing for 244 yards with 1 touchdown on 19-for-24 passing. He and Lambert have taken most of the reps with the No. 1 offense in practice the past two weeks.Lambert, who enrolled at Georgia as a graduate transfer last summer, was seen as the safer choice to start the opener. Although Georgia fans have criticized his arm strength and ability to throw the ball down the field, Lambert has a better understanding of the offense and made fewer mistakes in practice.Smarts decision to start Lambert was first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Thursday.Regardless of which quarterback plays against the Tar Heels, the Bulldogs are expected to rely heavily on their running game. Junior Nick Chubb, who missed the final seven games of the 2015 season with a left knee injury, is expected to start against North Carolina. Junior Sony Michel, who broke his left arm in an ATV wreck July 4, hasnt participated in contact drills in preseason camp and is doubtful to play in the opener.North Carolinas defense ranked 13th in the ACC in total defense (435.9 yards per game) and last in run defense (247.4 yards) last season. The Tar Heels gave up 645 rushing yards and 756 yards of offense in a 49-38 loss to Baylor in the Russell Athletic Bowl.Information from The Associated Press contributed to this report. http:///...ecker-titans-jersey/ . -- In one brief spurt, Brazil turned a close game into a rout and proved again it will be a strong World Cup favourite. Jack Conklin Jersey . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. http:///...organ-titans-jersey/ . Reigning world champion Eve Muirhead of Scotland opened with a 12-2 rout of Winnipegs Jennifer Jones in a battle of teams bound for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.Jordan Spieth returns to a familiar hunting ground this week at the Valspar Championship, looking to defend his title and kick-start his form ahead of the Masters. The world No 1 has struggled in recent appearances to replicate the form that saw him win two majors last year and cruise to victory at Januarys Hyundai Tournament of Champions, failing to post a top-15 finish in his last three starts.Spieths putting hasnt been as successful during the early-season events and he has also struggled from tee-to-green in recent weeks, but he heads to Innisbrook Resort aiming to continue his impressive record at the venue. Spieths Valspar victory was followed by the Masters title four weeks later The 22-year-old earned temporary membership on the PGA Tour with a tied-seventh finish at the tournament in 2013 and added another top-20 finish a year later, before following that up with a narrow victory last year.Spieth drained a lengthy birdie putt in a play-off in Florida last season to see off Patrick Reed and Sean OHair and claim the first of five worldwide wins in 2015.Play-off victory sparked a run of form which saw Spieth post back-to-back runner-up finishes in Houston and Texas before a record-breaking win at Augusta, with the 22-year-old now hoping for a similar display this week. Ways to watch How to watch featured group coverage Weve had a win this year already, but obviously the last few PGA Tour events werent up to par with how we were doing before, Spieth told a pre-tournament press conference.Even though the last couple events werent exactly what I was looking for, I did actually place the same last week that I did in 2015, so that course just doesnt fit me very well.All Im looking to take out is some momentum from what was strong and to build on what I need to do to improve from last weekk and Ill be ready to go. http:///...-moon-titans-jersey/. Spieth needed a birdie putt at the last to force a play-off last year Im looking at it from the face weve already won this year, so now its time to build this momentum right into this Major.Spieth will play alongside Bill Haas and Henrik Stenson for the opening two rounds, with the Swede confirming that he would miss this months WGC-Dell Match Play to rest ahead of Augusta. Although Spieth has posted three top-five finishes already this season, he knows theres still plenty of work to do over the next month ahead of his Masters defence.I feel pretty good, although I really need to get my putter going, Spieth added. It hasnt really clicked yet and things havent been quite going in, but they will. The 22-year-old is chasing a second PGA Tour title of the season My wedge play needs to improve, but my driving of the golf ball is better and I feel better than it was last year. My iron striking has also been consistent from last week into this week.The four tournaments that I played in between Hawaii and Doral I certainly think the expectations that I put on myself were too high because of Hawaii, so I kind of needed to dial it back a little bit.Obviously you want to set high end, borderline unrealistic expectations for yourself because if you get anywhere close to it youre going to be there, but theres a balance that I need to find. It has been a learning experience this year.Watch the Valspar Championship throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf. Or watch live from £6.99 without a contract, on NOW TV.
