Perdue, who played for Georgia in the 1960s, said Monday the team needs more “intensity” and must get “serious about winning.”
“I hope it’s temporary,” he said at a news conference that was about politics until someone noted Georgia is 0-3 so far in the Southeastern Conference.
“I love Coach (Mark) Richt,” said the former high school and college quarterback, who now calls plays for state government.

“There is a level of intensity that we’ve got to demonstrate for the rest of the season,” said Perdue, who had a cameo role in the film, “We are Marshall.”
The governor said the Dawgs must “let the fans … know we’re serious about winning.”
“We have a national championship threshold,” he said, “and we ought to be dissatisfied every season that doesn’t happen.”
