ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgias upset of then-No. 8 Auburn gave fans and recruits a much-needed glimpse of where first-year coach Kirby Smart hopes to take the program.It also made some upperclassmen wish they could stick around for that future.As he relished Saturdays win with teammate Chuks Amaechi, junior linebacker Lorenzo Carter said he wished he could be a recruit who was starting his career under Smart.We were walking to my car and we were just talking about how ... I wish I were a recruit for this game, Carter said Monday. It was an amazing atmosphere. It just showed the path for the University of Georgia and the program, where Kirby wants to take us.The 13-7 win over Auburn gave Smart the signature game he needed from his otherwise lackluster debut season. It also kept alive the chance for a strong finish for Georgia (6-4, 4-4 Southeastern Conference), which will look for its third straight win when it plays Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday.Smart was animated in his jubilant postgame celebration, giving high-fives and hugs to players and reaching up to slap hands with fans as he exited the field. He was back in his restrained game-week mode on Monday.I certainly felt there was good energy in the building, good energy after the game, whether it be in the locker room or with those guys, Smart said, adding his time with recruits was certainly positive even though none immediately promised to sign with Georgia.Senior defensive back Maurice Smith, who returned an interception for Georgias only touchdown, said it was important for current and future players to see the Bulldogs show they can beat a top 10 team.I think it will be a great accomplishment and also a confidence-builder for the team and the coaching staff, just to let us know were still able to contend and compete with the best, Smith said.Georgia has back-to-back wins over Kentucky and Auburn after losing four of five games, including a devastating home loss to Vanderbilt.Weve shown a lot of resiliency and also just a lot of strength, going through the challenges that weve faced, injuries and also being down in games, Smith said. We have showed a lot of perseverance.Smith is a graduate transfer from Alabama, where Smart was the defensive coordinator. He said he has been surprised to see Smart more relaxed despite having more responsibility.I think hes a lot more loose right now, more free, Smith said. Hes the head coach, so you would think that would give more pressure to him, but I think he has taken it the best way he can. Hes showing that as a head coach he really enjoys his job and Im very happy for him.Game notes Smart said he hopes OG Isaiah Wynn, who left the game with a sprained knee, and LB Natrez Patrick, who was held out with a shoulder injury, can return this week. Another starter, DT DaQuan Hawkins-Muckle (ankle) also may return this week. ... Georgia disclosed before Saturdays game that punter Marshall Long suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice, leaving Brice Ramsey as the starter. Ramsey also is the third-string quarterback. Long is the only Georgia player to suffer a season-ending injury.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Austin Meadows Jersey .

LAKEVILLE, Minn. -- In late December, three months after Mallory Weggemann swims at the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, she will be married in Minneapolis. With the help of a wedding planner, Weggemann worked out every detail, including a walk down the aisle that almost certainly will have everyone holding their breath.Weggemann, 27, is paralyzed from the waist down. She uses a wheelchair to get around. But on her wedding day, shes determined to walk, using carbon fiber leg braces under her wedding dress.A few weeks ago, Chris Weggemann, Mallorys father and an executive with an environmental company, sketched on a dry erase board in his downtown Minneapolis office to show how the braces function. A former architect, he marveled at the mechanics.But, he said, its a chore. Mallory will need specialized training at the Mayo Clinic to develop core muscle strength to move the braces. Chris and his wife, Ann, will accompany Mallory down the aisle, just in case.Oh, and theres one more thing: Mallory plans to stay in the braces for the first dance.It takes a lot of energy for her to stand up and do that, Chris Weggemann said. She does it with a smile on her face, but weve seen the ramifications the day after, because her body takes a toll. Shes got great ambitions on that day, and Im just like, dont crash and burn. Dont wear yourself out. Its a long day.Maybe its too much, But the Weggemann family learned a long time ago what happens when Mallory puts her mind to something.An accomplished high school swimmer, Mallory was left paralyzed following an epidural injection for back pain in 2008, shortly before her 19th birthday. Two and a half months later, after her sister took her to a Paralympic swim meet at the University of Minnesota, Mallory returned to the pool.Between 2009 and 2011 she won 22 international gold medals, three consecutive USA Swimming Disabled Swimmer of the Year awards, and a 2011 ESPY as Best Female Athlete with a Disability. She added 50-meter freestyle gold and a relay bronze at the 2012 Paralympics in London. Mallory holds 15 world and 34 American records.Then in March 2014, a freak accident in the shower at a New York hotel -- the bench she sat on gave way -- left Mallory with permanent nerve damage in her left arm. Unable to move her wrist or grip properly, Mallory lost her hard-gained independence. She couldnt wheel herself, dress herself, drive, or even braid her hair. With one fully functioning arm, swimming seemed out of the question.I had a hard enough time trying to figure out how to live each day, how to do everything each day, Mallory said. I didnt really know how I was supposed to think about getting back in the water and swimming again. That was hard.When I had my paralysis, the way I fought back was, I got in the pool and I swam. Swimming is a spiritual thing for me. Its not just being a competitive swimmer. Its my place. Its my sanctuary. That has been the place that gave me the strength to go and conquer everything else. After my arm injury, I felt like it was taken from me. I thought I had to retire, and that was terrifying.How Mallory puzzled it out, eventually qualifying for seven events in Rio beginning Thursday, reflects her steely perseverance and the support of her family and friends.As a competitor, Mallory may only have one good arm, Chris Weggemann said. But shes got a head on her shoulders that believes she can do anything.First, Mallory needed a new coach to replace Jim Andersen, who guided her through London but moved away. Someone to rebuild her shaken psyche, then push heer.dddddddddddd.That proved to be Steve Van Dyne, a family friend who coached her at Eagan High School. Van Dyne stopped coaching in 2012 to watch his young daughters swim, but told the Weggemanns to get in touch if they ever needed anything.Steve was the savior, said Jeremy Snyder, Weggemanns fiancé and manager.There was a lot to do. Van Dyne never coached an athlete with a disability before. Mallory hadnt been in the pool for five months. The nerve damage also caused occasional uncontrollable tremors in the arm, and when they struck, Mallory couldnt swim at all.We had to get her back into the right frame of mind, Van Dyne said. I still have to drill it into her a little bit even to this day: Youre not exactly the same swimmer as what you were before the arm injury. Then it was really just chipping away, day by day.We were always bringing her back to, where were you six months ago? See the positives and not focus on the arm. If [the] arm hurts, dont practice. Go have a little coffee, talk, figure it out and lets get in the water tomorrow.Van Dyne is, for lack of a better term, a friendly agitator. He and Mallory needle each other constantly, whether on the pool deck at Life Time Fitness in Lakeville, where Mallory trains, or afterward in the club café.Theyre like little kids, Chris Weggemann said. The two of them have a relationship that is really unique. He knows how to push her, right to the edge, not too far. She pushes back, and thats OK. Steve knows how to play her. If he says certain things to her, shell swim faster.Part of that goes back to when she was a kid. You tell her, You cant do that, shell just be, Well, heck, Im going to do it. Thats what Steve plays on. You cant do that. Well, Game on then. Lets go. And -- boom -- she does it.Along the way Mallory endured moments of doubt, especially in April, when disappointing times at the Paralympic test event in Rio made her fear she wouldnt make the team. Van Dyne told her not to sweat it.I wasnt worried, because we were still a long ways away, and I knew what she was capable of, he said. Id seen glimpses in our practices.Three months later, at the U.S. Paralympic team trials in Charlotte, North Carolina, Mallory made the team easily. Even with her arm limitations, Mallory swam a personal best in the 100-meter backstroke and her second-fastest 200 individual medley.When Mallory wheeled herself out of the meeting room after learning she made it, her parents, fiancé and coach were waiting. Even Van Dyne -- Mr. Tough Guy, Mallory said -- couldnt hold back tears.When I say she did the impossible, I dont mean that shes not capable, because she certainly is, said her mother, Ann. But what she did in those two years seemed insurmountable. It was an incredible moment.When first paralyzed, Mallory focused on little victories, regaining small pieces of her independence. That continues. Reworking the hand controls in her car allowed Mallory to drive again. She learned to maneuver her wheelchair without a left-hand grip.The arm remains troublesome, and the pain from training frequently makes Mallory sick to her stomach. But Van Dyne believes Mallory has more medal-winning performances in her.As hard as life can get in certain moments, theres always a way to move forward, Mallory said. We just have to choose to move forward. I knew how to do that. I learned that after my paralysis. I knew I had the strength to do it. I just had to find that again. ' ' '
