Wansley missed classes, will miss Oahu Bowl
Associated Press

HONOLULU -- Georgia cornerback Tim Wansley will sit out Sunday's Oahu Bowl game against Virginia because of a violation of the school's class attendance policy.

"He missed too many classes," Bulldogs coach Jim Donnan said Thursday. "He'll be the first guy in two years this has happened to. It was a tough decision but he has to accept it."

Wansley led the Southeastern Conference in interceptions with six and returned two for touchdowns.

Donnan said Wansley is still eligible to play under NCAA rules and remains academically eligible at Georgia. The junior accompanied the team to Hawaii.

Donnan said either Dantra Clements or DeCory Bryant would start in Wansley's place.
