Georgia senior cornerback Paul Oliver has been ruled ineligible for the upcoming season. After not accumulating a high enough GPA to stay eligible with a 'Housing' major, he will most likely enter the upcoming NFL Supplemental Draft in order to afford one now that that scholarship is about to run out. You can only hope he didn't get kicked off the team for screwing up the legos while building a scaled housing development, but since he isn't at the good state school Georgia Tech you can't be sure.
UGA fans will be fast to point out its a big loss and that he held Calvin Johnson to two catches and under 20 yards last year. Other football fans will point out the fact Reggie 'Can't Throw A' Ball was his quarterback last year and its a miracle Calvin Johnson caught that many against the Bulldogs. When faced with another first round draft pick Oliver gave up a little more, 98 yards on seven catches to Tennessee's Robert Meachem.
Sophomore Asher Allen will most likely replace Oliver. He was Georgia's 'Newcomer of the Year' last season, not golden boy Matthew Stafford. Someone screwed up the engraving on the trophy so they had to give it to him. Asher will need to Cowboy up against Oklahoma State which will likely be his first test as a starter September 1.
