While it’s serious news that Jeremy Lomax was arrested on speeding and concealed weapons charges, it is encouraging to see him step up and accept his fault in the incident.

Most fans assume a suspension, but alcohol-related incidents are the only ones for which a suspension is mandated. Depending on Mark Richt’s discretion and the eventual outcome of the charges, Lomax’s discipline could range anywhere from a multiple-game suspension to “internal” discipline such as additional running.

This tidbit is also encouraging: when potential starters are driving 1991 Chevy Caprices around town, you can be pretty certain that the NCAA won’t be moving their Tuscaloosa branch office to Athens any time soon.
