The Georgia Bulldogs continue preparations for Saturday’s Orange Bowl game against the Florida State Seminoles. The game kicks at 4 o’clock in Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium. The Dogs are ranked sixth and are favored to beat the fifth ranked FSU team.

It would be understandable if Kamari Lassiter opted not to play in the upcoming Orange Bowl. Due to his outstanding play at the cornerback position for the past two seasons for Georgia, Lassiter is seen as one of the top cornerback prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft.
And while many of Florida State’s top players — including its top three pass catchers — have opted to go ahead and start preparing for the NFL draft, Lassiter never envisioned himself not playing in Saturday’s game.
“Honestly, just for the love of my teammates, the love of the game itself,” Lassiter said on playing in the Orange Bowl. “I always feel like if I’m able to play a football game, why would I not play? That’s what I’m here for, to go to school and play football. There’s a game on the schedule, I feel like I’m obligated to play. I feel like I owe to my teammates, I owe it to my coaches, I owe it to my fan base to just give it my all.”
