North Augusta, SC - Day two of the 2008 Collegiate Disc Golf Championships featured two rounds of individual play: one on the longer blue course and the second on the shorter red layout. Three of the best individual scores were counted towards the team score. After a mid day take over by Clemson, the University of Georgia turned in great scores to reclaim their lead.

With many teams in striking distance, Sunday will be a chance for a team to make a big push to topple the Bulldogs. The teams will face the blue layout for a single round of alternate shot doubles.
