UGA blog finds new home
Morning all. As I’ve said a couple of times this week, we’re converting this blog over to a WordPress platform and it will be a permanent move the first of next week.
Those of you who are regulars probably know that I’m not what you’d call techno-wizard when it comes to these things. But from what I understand the technology offered in this new format should make the blogging and commenting experience better for all. Of course, I’ll be learning as we go along, too. But I’m hoping to provide more pictures and video and things like that which should bring the blog more to life.
Of course, this blog is nothing without all you guys so I want to heartily invite (read: beg) you to come over to the new site by CLICKING HERE ON THE NEW ADDRESS and save it in your browsers. As of Monday, Feb. 23rd, this will be the permanent home of the UGA blog you so love or, in the case of some of you, love to loathe. If you’d prefer to copy and paste or just memorize, the new address is: http://blogs.ajc.com/uga-sports-blog/.
See at the new place!

Expect new blitzes from Auburn
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Here is some fodder for those screaming for Auburn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp to come back to Georgia. Way back in August Muschamp installed multiple blitz packages.
“I thought this was what the NFL must be like because we are putting something in new every single day,” said linebacker Karibi Dede. “I thought, ‘How are we going to figure this out?’ ”
But what Dede came to learn was that Muschamp was overloading the players on the front end so they would have the knowledge in the latter parts of the season.
“Multiple,” said Dede. “He wants to be multiple.”
That means come week eight or nine or 10, Muschamp, a former NFL assistant, will install a package that Auburn has not run all year. The players are able to pick up on it because they ran it in two-a-days. The other teams don’t know what is coming because Auburn has yet to show that blitz package yet.
Auburn is third in the conference in overall defense (276 yards allowed) and third in sacks (25). Georgia coach Mark Richt said it has become evident that Muschamp is using his NFL knowledge at this level. Georgia has only one coach with NFL coaching experience on its roster: Jon Fabris, defensive ends coach, spent time with the Cleveland Browns.
