As you might expect, Georgia quarterback JT Daniels has a favorite football movie. What that movie is, which he revealed during a Quick Chat after Wednesday’s practice, you probably wouldn’t expect.

It’s not “Remember the Titans” or “Friday Night Lights.” It’s not “The Waterboy” or “The Longest Yard,” two football comedies with Adam Sandler, or even the original “Longest Yard” with Burt Reynolds. No, Daniels’ favorite football film stars Andy Dick. Seriously.

A redshirt junior from Irvine, Calif., the 6-foot-3 and 210-pound Daniels in the two games he’s started this season has completed an exceptional 45 of 61 pass attempts (73.8%), for 438 yards and three touchdowns. All three of those TD passes came in last Saturday’s 40-13 win over South Carolina, with the scores going for 43, 38 and 4 yards.

As we sat for an interview in the Georgia offense’s team meeting room after practice Tuesday, senior nose tackle Jordan Davis, sporting some gym shorts from his days at Mallard Creek High School in Charlotte, N.C., looked happy and at ease. As he revealed during our Quick Chat, he is.

Davis is a 6-foot-6 and 340-pound irresistible object and unstoppable force — and that’s just his engaging personality. Whenever his playing days are done, Davis could go on to a great career talking football on television. Or maybe he could wind up on “Saturday Night Live.” Always regarded by his teammates as one of the funniest Bulldogs, Davis said he was more interested in sketch comedy than trying stand-up.

The preseason All-American is one of the leaders of the No. 2-ranked Bulldogs’ defense, a unit that didn’t give up a touchdown until last Saturday against South Carolina, in the 12th quarter of the season. When Georgia opened the season by beating Clemson 10-3 in the Dukes Mayo Classic in Charlotte, it was a very special experience for the hometown kid, a three-star recruit who has gone on to become one of the best defensive players in the country.
