ATHENS, Georgia (Ticker) -- University of Georgia coach Mark Richt on Sunday suspended sophomore defensive back Donavon Baldwin and freshman fullback Fred Munzenmaier for a minimum of one game each due to separate alcohol-related incidents.

Both will miss the 2008 season opener against Georgia Southern on August 30, and have been assigned community service and internal discipline, Richt said. Both incidents occurred over the weekend.

"They know better, and I'm disappointed in both of them," Richt said. "They will have to pay a price, but it's unfortunate the rest of the team will also have to suffer for their poor judgment." A redshirt sophomore, Baldwin failed to register a tackle in eight games for Georgia (11-2) which capped its season with a 41-10 trouncing of then-unbeaten No. 10 Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day.

Munzenmaier, who is a redshirt freshman, recorded six yards on one carry in 10 games this season.
