Patrick, Smith test negative...which is positive news for Dawg fans.

Last week's details of a search of Natrez Patrick's dorm room have been lingering in the air as the team prepares for its annual clash with Florida in Jacksonville. Both Patrick and Roquan Smith were tested after the search and the results were announced this morning.

UGA announces that LBs Roquan Smith and Natrez Patrick are NOT suspended. They are good to go for Florida. Tested negative on drug tests.

So, the team's leading tacklers will be in uniform and that's certainly welcome news. The players likely won't escape punishment for the circumstances leading to the search as well as the admission that a drink bottle with a hidden department was used for hiding marijuana.

But lucky for Georgia, that's a bridge to cross after the team bus rumbles down Gator Bowl Boulevard.
