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!

Bama win good or bad for Dogs?

What a great night for college football. Never mind your allegiances. Never mind who you were rooting for, there were some great games being played Saturday night.

Georgia’s wasn’t necessarily one of them. The Bulldogs did what they had to do against Western Carolina, which was basically to win without expending too much effort. And, for the most part, they were able to do that. Worse thing I saw about it was the sprained ankle of defensive lineman Corvey Irvin. That and they didn’t exactly bowl over the Catamounts early on. But OK given all the circumstances.

I wanted to see what happened with the Arkansas-Alabama game before I weighed in here. I was really eager to see how the Crimson Tide, under new coach Nick Saban, would handle Arkansas, which I expect to be a pretty darn good team this year.

In case you missed it, Alabama pulled out a 41-38 win with a TD pass in the final seconds. After Georgia’s win, head coach Mark Richt was asked what kind of outcome he hoped for. He said he merely hoped the Crimson Tide would have to put forth a great effort. They did indeed.

As exciting as that game was, I didn’t come away too overly impressed with either defense. I was pretty impressed with both offenses but the defenses were way too soft, in my opinion.

So what do you think? Was it a good or bad thing for Georgia that Bama pulled out that win? Would you have preferred to catch the Tide after a loss, where they’re questioning the new regime, or after a win, where they’re perhaps overconfident?

And how ‘bout them Dawgs?! They certainly have a lot of issues. That was evident even in victory. O-line and linebackers continue to be areas of concern. What has to happen to get by Saban and the Tide in Tuscaloosa?

Thomas Brown still couldn’t get tough yards against a Div-1A team.

Can we finally put to rest the notion that he deserves to start over the far better Moreno, who has outperformed him in every single game this year?

These games are hard to gauge. We’ll find out more about this particular Bulldog team in Tuscaloosa next week.

And for the love of God, give Moreno the ball 25 times like we did with Musa Smith back in 2002!!!

We are 3 games in and the punt team still can’t get lined up correctly. Two penalties against OK State, one against Carolina that nullified a fumble recovery and another penalty today. PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!

This is the way we always play against 1-AA teams. I don’t know if we should be encouraged by that or not. We did need something positive heading into next Saturday, so maybe we’ll roll into Tuscaloosa and play like we have a pair.

Dang, NASCARfan, which is it, that Brown can’t hack it or we can’t tell anything from this game? You can’t have it both ways!

The final score was comforting, but taking so long to get out of the gate was unsettling - AGAIN. I mean seriously, 10-6 midway through the second quarter??? PLEASE!!!!!

There’s no doubt that Moreno, barring injury, is the MAN for the next four years. But the Dogs are blessed with a bevy of backfield talent. Lumpkin, when he returns, should be hell on wheels again. Brown, though not a dominant runner, is certainly solid enough to be where he is.

I do agree with you on one thing, though. Next week, we separate the men from the boys. Hopefully, we can also separate the Central Alabama Pachyderms from their tusks.

The slow start today concerned me far more than anything Brown did or didn’t do. Georgia cannot afford to drag its cleats out of the gate from here on out. The heart of the schedule will determine if the Dogs are home for Christmas or New Year’s Eve. That, plus the fact that there is a great deal of PAYBACK to dish out from last year’s October Meltdown.

Let’s take this one and enjoy it, then go whoop up on Alabama!!

I’m not sure I saw any improvement this week.The critical problem right now is power blocking by the O-line.The guards are just not sec ready,Havercamp may never be.We got 146 yds rushing against a defense that was giving up 340 or so coming into the game and most of those were Moreno.I do think Dent is a better sam than Miller,other than that we’ve got a long way to go.Alabama will see a very poor W Carolina defensive line cave in our guards and they’ll prepare to exploit it.

First off - everyone needs to remember, that ‘over-all’ this is a very young group on offense and defense.

They are very talented - so ‘in theory’, if your going to beat them -you had better do it early.

We’ll find out a lot about Alabama tonight. Hard to tell what they have. The match up doesn’t look good. We have a small defensive line and they have perhaps the largest and most athletic offensive line in the league.

South Carolina has already proved that we have trouble with 8 or 9 in the box - we can expect this from Alabama…

The good news is - our kids will take this one much more seriously than say a USC team that we had beaten five years in a row…

No major injuries today - lots of kids got to play - nice over-all win…

In short - a good tune up…

From 2004 thru 2006 we signed 9 four star or better D-linemen.Over the same period we signed 3 four star and no five star O-linemen.Of those 3 Ian Smith is off the team and Kiante Tripp has just moved to offense.That leaves Seth Watts, come to think of it I believe he’s gone as well.Coach Richt has under recruited the O-line since he came to UGA,it was bound to catch up to us sooner or later.This year was his first really good O-line class,let’s hope they’ve learned the lesson.

**They SHOULD beat a team like this that bad. So it is no indication of anything.

I was just watching FL/TN and FL is up 42 to 20 and Urban just had Tebo throw a bomb and then scored on the next play to go up 49-20. That is what is wrong with Richt. He doesn’t have the ‘killer’ instict like Urban does. He’s too soft. When we get ahead he pulls back and plays it safe. We will never win a national championship with Richt at the helm. He just doesn’t have the fire that a coach like Urban does.**

Ive been watching the UF/TN game. Florida looks pretty good guys……the whole team plays with a lot of intensity. I’d like to see more of that with the DAWGS. UF is winning this one handily. Fulmer better get his resume together.

On a side note, what was up with Joiner giving a Tebow a kiss on the sideline? Kind of odd.

You slobs have no class and no idea of what good football is. You ran Donnan off when he was a good coach and brought in a guy who wants to play high school teams.

Atlanta Gator, heck of a game. I will tell you this, I don’t see us beating you guys anytime soon UNLESS somebody gets it in gear. Meyer is a great coach who knows how to win but how stupid could he be. Shouldn’t have left Tebow in for so long. That backup Newton looked tough enough to finish the game out. Kinda like your FR DB that got hurt there late. Either UT sucks or you guys look like you are headed to another East title maybe NC. That game with LSU will be one of the best of the year. Can’t wait.

General, wish you guys would have had at least a better game. Now you know how we felt last year against you guys but we at least played part of that game. Have fun fishing maybe you will run into Roland Martin and hire him as HC.

I can’t get the Bama game but what the heck is going on there? 21 zip in the first qtr. If we come out playing like we did today against Bama we are DOA. This is one screwed up year in college football. Can’t afford to be lax at anytime in any area or else you lose.

Matthew, you don’t think Fulmer wouldn’t have been piling it on IF he had the chance? Look to our game from last year. You could say they beat themselves but Florida just looked too good today. Hands down best of the East so far. Will find out in a couple of weeks if they are the best in the SEC. Could be or probably will be preview of the SEC title game.

Gator Man, I will take my chances with Richt. I think there was a lot more going on with Donan than anybody knows. Yes I liked him as our coach because he was very good. But I think behind the scenes he may have tried to do too much for Quincy Carter. We can all assume that Quincy’s problems didn’t start in the NFL.

I told a friend before the season started that I expect us to go 10-2, maybe 11-2 depending on who we lost to. I also said if we got past South Carolina undefeated we could possibly run the table. That’s not gonna happen bit if we stay focused on each game I still think 10-2 is approachable. Of course, we’ll be the most boring 10-2 team in the country. Jeez, we don’t have any personality whatsoever. We win as blandly as we lose.

I’m watching the Boston College GT game.Boston’s qb ‘Ryan’ throws a great deep ball.If Stafford can get to where he can throw that pass and the line comes around we can beat anybody on our schedule with the possible exception of Florida (sorry).If those 2 things don’t come around it could be a very long season.

A-ville Ranger…I agree. We have a young team that looks like a Jeckyl/Hyde type. From what I have seen today I thnik us, Tenn., Auburn, and KY are along the same lines. Florida and GT look like the better teams at this point. We have more talent than Ole Miss, Vandy, and Troy. Now saying that, ours is a team that cannot afford to have a down game because anybody left on the schedule can beat us. That’s why, to me, next Sat. is crucial to these yound pups. Hopefully, we can get off to a good start on the road and we can get the W.

To everybody who wonders why I keep yakking about Stafford not throwing the deep pass well.Watch the replays of the Tech game.Matt Ryan the BC QB threw a 50 or yd td where he had at most 2 seconds before he was flattened.He threw a perfect ball to the only place it could have been caught with great touch and timing.Stafford has never thrown a pass like that at UGA.BC is 2 tds up and the whole reason is Ryan making those throws.If Stafford can get that pass down he’ll be unstoppable.

I’m afraid that Tebow better enjoy his college days because no NFL team would risk a draft choice on a running QB again. He is a power Vick but I think the NFL has learned its lesson on primary running OBs. Maybe he could be a fullback with options to pass.

Someone has their facts wrong about the end of the UF/TN game. Tebow was not in the game and UF was running the ball. UT could not stop them. The reserve QB scored on the same play that Tebow was known for last year, the Quarterback draw. Meyer was not trying to run up the score. They just did because they were playing great and UT wasn’t. Not sure why so many bloggers are down on Martinez. If you study the stats the defense has been good. It is the offense that has been inconsistent. That will change soon, hopefully this year, and UGA will be a very good team in a very good conference, which means that losing a game or two each season is not uncommon, for UGA or anyone else in the conference.

Hey BammerMan-

You better hope your big mouth can last for as long as the game lasts. Arkie just took the lead with around 8 mins. left. Folks need to learn that the game is played on the field, not in your minds and big mouth posts.

Gator Man

He!! yeah, Florida looks tough, tougher than last year even, but again, I think we should probably play the game… Before the year I said UGA would be lucky to go 9-3. That still holds. I don’t see where these idiots get off on predicting 11-1 or 10-2 seasons when we are so young and inexperienced. Since 2003 we have lost 25+ signed recruits to injury, discipline, NFL, etc. Just last year we were scrambling the jucos to get enough linemen to field an offense. Now people are gonna make these outragious predictions, get mad when they don’t happen and call for coaches to be fired? That’s just stupid.

Bammer is trying to come back…. looks like its gonna be a nail biter finish. Oops, went for the three and giving the ball back to Mcfadden.

Fla. looks great, Tebow looks Heismanistic, and yes they DID leave him in the game throwing long passes way past what sportsmanship calls for, I almost wanted to see some Tenn Linebacker hit him late and blow out a knee, but I don’t want that to happen, I want him to be at full strentgh when UGA plays them. Right now I don’t see how we can beat em, but strange things happen in the SEC. I feel sure that our D will give us a chance, its just a matter of whether Stafford will ever grow into the QB is is supposed to be… Lord knows, Tebow has. If there was ever a competition between tebow and stafford to see who would be the best, I’d say that so far Tebow is flat out blowing him away.

Va. Dawg-

Florida was winning 45-20 and then 52-20 with Tebow still throwing bombs and playing like the game was tied up. The announcers were even trashing Meyer for it. It was dumb because Tebow could have got hurt, either accidentally or on purpose. One of the announcers was saying that if he was Tennessee’s coach he would have his players trying to take Tebow out, even if it meant getting a late hit penalty or ejected for it. That’s the way Meyer plays the game and it is why so many people hate him.

-ville, you’re right about Stafford and the long ball. It’s funny, he goes through his entire HS> career hitting those passes, just like Tebow and others and now he gets to Ga. and is having a problem. That B.C. QB the same, he hit those plays and gets to college and continues doing it. I have no idea as to why but something changed when he hit the Clarke County line. It won’t happen but I can hope that the Coaches will use that Cannon and so what if he misses 5,6,7 in a row,let him hit a couple and look out. As the ‘06 Tigers. If you have the answer I’m all ears.

Hunk erdown——-We’re young but so is Florida.The thing that really bothers me is the mismanagement of the O-line.I posted earlier that from 04 thru 06 we signed nine 4 star and higher D-linemen and just three 4 star and no 5 star O-linemen.Of those only Kianti Tripp is still on the team and he was just put on offense a few weeks ago.If we’re going to compete with Florida we’re going to have to fix two chronic short comings,we’ll have to be able to stretch the field and we’ll need to build top O-lines.How many teams in the sec could Clint Boling play for ? He’s a 275 lb true freshman for gosh sake.Also we have never had the ability to go deep with any reliablity in Richt’s tenure.We’ll never compete with the best till the coaches can train qbs to throw the long ball and receivers to catch it.

Bama looked good tonight but not unstoppable. Saban pulls from Richt’s plan and kicks the FG late and scores the winning TD against all odds (no timeouts, long field). A couple of less interference calls and this is a win for Nutt and the hogs. They don’t just pay the players in Tuscaloosa ;) Today’s game against WCU looked good on the stat sheet, but it was painful to watch in person. Western is a bad Southern Conference team that had 4 scoring drives against our D and our O-line could barely protect Stafford. This season could quickly become a repeat of last year, minus the Peach Bowl, if we don’t man up fast and find some heart and enthusiasm for the game. The SEC is too tough for this type of performance. Oh yeah, why do we pass (incomplete) on 3rd and 2 against WCU? The play calling is suspect!!! UGA has to step up against Alabama and get it together.

w.carolina played us close for a quarter,not unusual in these games.these small schools want to win as much as we do,but don’t have the size or depth,mainly on their lines.so they wear down during the game.if you bang heads with a guy that outweighs you 15 or 20 lbs,and he gets to rest and his back up is just as big and you have to work against them both you just get worn out.if you guys learn anything from watching the games this year learn this,a bcs team is no longer guaranteed a win against even a div II school!texas was lucky to escape ucf with a win,auburn with back to back losses to south fl and miss state,fsu struggles with uab,uk beats no 9 louisville,i could go on and on.the point is that parity is here people.get used to it.with todays scholarship limits,and early entry into the nfl,even the little sisters of the poor have a chance to beat you.

Most people don’t know to to watch for.I see one post after another that parrot the blog headline.So the team statrs slow then scores.The thing to take away from this game is we couldn’t dominate this team by running the ball.Western Carolina has one of the worst run defenses in college ball.They had given up close to 350 a game and we run for 140.This O-line wasn’t good enough to get 50 yds on the grond against Florida or LSU.We stared a trur freshman Clint Boling who weighs under 280 on one side and another true freshman Sturdivant who weighs 285 on the other.The problem isn’t as many think protecting Stafford they did a good job at that for the most part.Here’s some sobering info Kentucky beat Eastern Kentucky 50-10 and that same E Kentucky team beat this Western Carolina team 45-21.That’s right a team that Kentucky crushed played these guys about as well as we did,and they ran the ball better against them.

uga rolls tide,of course the sec is the strongest conference in the country,even most of the espn people will admit that.however,the old coaches saw about “any given saturday”has never been more true than this year.BTW,we lived in orlando in the late 80’s and ucf was a div II program,and a new one at that.i have seen them play au,fsu,and uf,and i noticed that the first half would always be close,the “big”teams would be flat and ucf would be sky high.at half time the”big boys”would get a butt chewing from their coach and stomp ucf in the second half.these small schools can have some very good players at the skill positions,but are short of size and depth on the o and d lines.scholarship limits and early entry have affected college football,no 1,kids want to go where they can play,they don’t want to sit on the bench and wait two years for a chance,no 2 with scholarship limits,”big”teams can’t stock pile players like they did in the old days.many good players would rather start at troy or south fl than wait for a shot at uf or bama.

Shane- Tell it to Moreno, T. Brown, M. Henderson, and Pollack for that matter. Yeah, size does matter in this league but the best aren’t whining about it. WCU has some big boys. And yes, I (6’2” 185#) played the game against some elephants but quickly learned how to tame them, if you know what I’m saying…

A-ville- Stafford had one long run over 20 yards and still ended up in the negative for rushing. Two sacks, one for a fumble deep in our territory. O-line did not protect well, for the most part. The running game does not materialize because we don’t run! What happened to TB U? We pass on many short yardage situations and on some possesions we won’t run at all!

UGA ROLLS TIDE I’m not trying to be smart but I’m not sure I get your point.The running game didn’t do better because the blocking was weak,I’m sure of that much.Pass protection was much better than run blocking from what I saw.Stafford was hit hard one time because of a missed assignment.Other than that he really wasn’t pressured much.

ranger,did we not run the ball well because they stopped us,or was it because we didn’t stick with it and keep pounding?if our young linemen can’t run block then i am worried.don’t get me wrong,i love richt and i think he is the best think to happen at uga since vince retired,but sometimes he seems to overcoach against weaker teams.by that i mean coming out in the shotgun with multiple reciever sets when we should be able to line up and simply blow the other team off the ball.i thought that the coaches were a little pass happy because they wanted stafford and the recievers to get their timing down and gain some confidence before we play bama.i would like to see us play some old fashioned smash mouth football just once.i am happy with the win though,it should be a good tune up for next saturday,and we will need a good passing game to beat bama,i don’t think we could just ram the ball down their throats.

ATTENTION A-VILLE RANGER! You’re absolutely correct when you say that CMR has under-recruited in the O-line area. CMR simply has not reeled a whole lot of quality O-line recruits. That being said, I still think the biggest concern over that time period are the 4/5 star WRs that CMR has reeled in who can’t get open and can’t catch the ball. It’s bad that CMR has had no one at WR who has performed well on the field since Fred Gibson’s freshman year. If this does not improve quick, we will be at risk of losing our 5-star WR recruit to The Evil Genius in Columbia, SC. And that WILL set the program back 10 years!

Hopefully, CMR now realizes what happens when you recruit top skill players and not top linemen. We can have the best QB, RBs, and WRs in the nation, but if the O line doesn’t open holes and pass protect, the offense will go nowhere. Same on defense, if you can’t stuff the run, those all world CBs and safetys are going to get pulled up to help stop the run and the get burned by the pass. This is obviously a rebuilding year for the dawgs. These young linemen need game experience and time to get stronger. Next year will be better with a stronger more experinced line and a backfield of Moreno and King. When Stafford learns to trust his protection, hopefully he will stop throwing off his back foot and actually step into the pass. My worry for next year is the small linebacker experiment. I hope their speed can make up for their lack of size. Whatever happens, I will be glad to see that the B Miller shuffle is over and the Marcus Howard undersized DE debacle has run its course. We all have to endure this season and let these pups go thru their trail by fire. The good news is, Auburn and TN look pretty vuneralble this year as well. Go Dawgs!

The loss to The Evil Genius, while bad, is not as horrific as losing to Appalachian St. South Florida, and Miss. State. Alabama and Kentucky winning their games over good teams (who happen to have the 1st two picks of the 2008 NFL Draft) is great for the Dawgs! The Dawgs could still be a top 5 season IF the they beat the two aforementioned teams, lose respectfully against the Gators, and needless to say kick Tennesseee, Auburn, and the rest of their schedule while they are obviously down! Florida is the only team left on the schedule that’s a definite L. Our O-line is young, getting tested, and WILL step it up. Bobo’s play-calling will get better (it better or he will have 5 kids and no job!). The WRs…uh, Dawg Nation; let’s pray that this bumbling group get’s it together!

RAYMOND! QUIT WORRYING! BAMA’s defense is probably quite flawed (300 plus rushing yards is a lot to give up against anybody). My prediction for the Bama game: O-line gets it together; Moreno gets 25 carries for 200 yards and 3 TDs; Sutherland takes a couple FB dives for 30+ yard TDs; Chandler gets open deep down the middle a couple of times with one going the distance; one of the WRs gets lucky and catches a TD pass! That’s 49 points and IT CAN BE DONE! A better performing O-line gives us three players no team in the SEC can contain in Moreno, Sutherland, and Chandler! And NO, Bama’s offense will not score 50 against our D! If we can get some production out of an NFL-sized DE, Bama won’t even score 20!

It’s evident to me that all the hype about Stafford has been over blown. When he came to UGA, some thought he was going to be the next best QB in the country and the next Heisman winner. It’s obvious that he won’t make that. There are even many other QB’s in the SEC that show more skills and maturity. Yes, our OL is young and undersized. I agree with a previous poster…how does Florida manage to reload and come back strong every year and we can’t figure out how to do it too. And look at c**-king Spurrier. He’s there three years and already has gotten SC able to beat us. Spurrier, Meyer, and Saban all have fire and intensity. I detect none of that in our coach. Maybe CMR will go back to Floriday State, as many suspect, when Bowden finally retires.

At the beginning of last year, I heard many arguing over who would turn out to be the best QB…either Tebo or Stafford. I think that question has already been answered.

My guess is that the winner of the SEC will be between LSU and Florida. Starting next year, I bet it will be between LSU, Florida, and South Carolina. In a couple of years, I bet it will be between LSU, Florida, South Carolina, or Alabama. We will always be in the middle of the pack but not at the top. That seems to be our destiny with what we have.

I hope we win another game this season!!

Hope someone was watchig. Andre Woodson is the best QB in the nation. THere is at least one scout who agrees with that assessment and it is in this weeks version of the Sporting News. Dude has a cannon for an arm and can stand the pressure. He was clutch with less than 2 minutes on teh clock and only 1 TO. For you Falcons fans hopefully they will see the talent and not pick based on history of yoru coach and Brian Brohm at UL. As far as Stafford he again has not shown anything resembling a difference maker. Its amazing how last eyar he had the same O-line that DJ Shockley had but still scrwed it up and the line and receivers were blamed and CMR goes out and recruits more and we have the same problems. Maybe its the QB. Joe Cox deserves a chance and the way CMR ripped him out last year after one bad play was classless and showed that he promised Stafford and his parents some PT. Last year I thought Tebow was garbage but at least he has shown that he can help win a game not “manage a game”. Tell me this. How does Stafford get credit for the late season wins last year when he failed to throw for 300 yards in any game or 3TD’s? Its amazing the spin job that has happened. UGA won because DG and DS were on the field making plays not because of them staying out of the way. If I was Joe Cox anda Blake Barnes I would have left a long time ago but I will honor there loyalty even though the coach is not showing it back to them. I am also not trying to hate on Stafford as he is only a kid but this is big time football and you get paid to win in the SEC and Stafford has not seemed to get it and I think the other QB’s deserve a chance to show why they were Blue Chip recruits. In case you forgot on this same blog when DJ was getting ready to start his senior season the blog was that Joe Cox would take over the minute he struggled but fortunately for DJ and the team he never did. Just see without that injury against Arkansas we may have won the SEC as DJ woudl play against UF and CMR would not e able to screw up the play calling. Oh yes if he had just let Joe T do his thing we would have beat UF instead of losing to a team that had just fired their coach.

A year later he was able walk out and lead the team onto the field for a game. In his interview he was talking about how the doctors told his parents that he had a 3% chance to ever walk again. Not only is he walking today but he is a few months shy of finishing law school and has accepted a job at a Philly law firm. He is definitely inspiration for all especially in the Black community as he shows that no obstacles should deter you from achieving greatness and with the power of prayer you can succeed.

I can feel it with every week. Bama looked good last night, as did UF. We are gonna struggle winning again untill we get Vandy, even Tucky might be moving up the program ladder past the former mighty UGA program. Its f** scary for me to comprehend all of this. Stafford is the most overrated UGA player in history. Richt has no fire or imagination. I honestly have heard from FSU fans in the know that they wouldn’t touch him/don’t want him. UGA will eventually fire him and have to pay out millions of his contract. Trust me, while it clearly shows he wants to be somewhere else coaching now, wait I think he just wants to join priesthood. He is going backwards as fast as Notre Dame. I love my dogs but this season and last have brought tears to my eyes as to how far we have fallen off the wagon of winning/SEC competitiveness. It makes me sick and I am having to think about other thoughts instead of worrying about UF/TN/Auburn etc….

Dogs get whipped next week by bama, play TN close yet lose and basically we are all gonna see what this hardcore fan already knows, welcome back to the goff era!

I think I’ve seen some stat where teams coming off a tough overtime game don’t fare so well the following week. Its tough. Georgia, on the otherhand, basically had an off week. None of this guarantees a single thing but it definitely benefits Georgia. Of course if Stafford can’t connect with open recievers and Bobo goes braindead when we get in the redzone it won’t matter.

This will be a great game and is a must win for Georgia.

Theres is an APB out on a Head Ball COach No not that one in SC but we need Jim Donnan back at UGA or heck even Ray Goff would be allright now he just did not recruit as well as CMR but coached better. Can you ever say that Ray lost a game when he had more talent. Shoot He and Donnan should coach since we are still paying them both.

Anyone who brings Ray Goff up should be banned from this blog. He set Georgia football back 10 years at least. As for CMR, the last time he matched wits with Saban, the Dogs won 45 to 16. We’ll be fine in Tuscaloosa.

No matter how much we think/know that the Dawgs are not on the Gators level, we, the Dawg Nation should know that Georgia will do all they can to not fall below 8 wins. Heck, after last years near-disaster, CMR should know that he’s a goner if they do not win 8 games, especially considering Florida is the only team left on the schedule that will be playing a game past January 1, 2008. In other words, NO TEAM left on the Dawgs schedule (except Florida) is that good and a CMR firing would be VERY justified if this team can’t win 8 (or try 9) games. If CMR doesn’t want to lose any of his prized 2008 verbal commitments, he better find a way to win 10!

Is Bama loss good or Bad? Ask Richt. But maybe don’t. CMR seems to be having a crisis in confidence. Now’s sure a strange time to show it…

“We know there’s a lot of young guys playing,” Richt said. “Those guys are getting a lot of experience. But they have never played in a hostile environment [Alabama], and that is a whole new world.

“I can’t imagine how those guys will react to that.”

Georgia will go to Alabama and win. Expect OC Bobo to run the football on the porous Tide’s DL and set up several serious long pass plays for scores. Georgia deserves to have a ranking of no less than 15 today and 11 after beating Alabama this coming Saturday. The Florida Gators are reminding me of the old Alabama teams coached by Bear Bryant. Yes, that was some time ago; the Gators are the best team in college football right now and would overcome the USC Trojans if they played today. The question is will the Gators wear down running that offense? Their defense is only average and will give up points. The question is how to stop the offense and Tim Tebow; my guess is to load up the line and bring the blitz over and over and over again. The Vols had some success until they got down by 17 points and gave up the blitz in favor of slowing down the Lizards and that did not work. Anyway, take the UGA Dawgs over the Tide in a war.

CMR has not beaten any team that was ranked in the top 5. Goff actually did if you go back to the Rose Bowl against Ohio State with Garrison Hearst and Terrell Davis. Really what has CMR done. He has not gone undefeated in the SEC even as the other top programs were in decline. Yes indeed he cant beat UF and there is nothing you can show me to the contrary and thats even with Zook as the head Ball Coach. Now he goes out and loses to Vandy, UK, and beats a 0 fer team by the luck of the backup coming in against Colorado last year. When LSU had a great year we got pumelled when AU had a great year we got pummeled. See the trend. He loses to many games and dont tell me about a road record when the wins came against teams with 3 or 4 losses anyway. CMR is not the Coach that will lead us to the Promise Land. He has been the Coach for what 9 years and we have not even sniffed the NC game yet Saban and Urban Myer come in and they both have taken there teams to the Championship in addition to Tubberville being undefeated and cheated out of te game and Phat Phil winning also. That means we have 4 Coaches to say they are Champs (Yes Auburn won all there games so they are Champs if you go undefeated in the SEC and Bowl Game) and Mark Richt has not a one plus a loss in the GA Dome to a team it spotted 28 points to before he figured out that he was the home team in the Sugar Bowl. No way Donnan or Goff loses to WV no matter what you say. Call me when CMR shows some killer instincts. At least Donnans players did nto get into trouble until they left school unlike CMR players who stay in trouble in school, summer school, post school, and before school.

Hey Dummy Kent! Repeat after me: “Margin of Victory.” That counts a whole lot more in the polls than points scored! A good four quarters of coaching in the Dawgs’ OSU game and the final score would have been 56-14! Understand this Kent; we in the Dawg Nation want four quarters of good coaching. This is the gist of every blog entered by a Dawg fan (and a few Dawg foes). WE KNOW THE COACHING UP TO THIS POINT HAS BEEN SUBSTANDARD! AND I PRAY THAT RICH RODRIGUEZ WILL BE ON THE DAWGS’ SIDELINES THIS TIME NEXT YEAR IF THE COACHING DOES NOT IMPROVE!

When a team says that they are going down to whip some Bulldog butt, come into town and do so, then I do wonder what this team is made of. Stafford’s over hyped? After what that mans gone through at Ga. if people don’t realize that he has ice water in his veins and is cool under pressure, then start a “bench Matthew Stafford” web site, then all of you who say he’s overrated will find out how wrong you are. A-ville is right about the long ball but the only way to solve that problem is just like the AU game in ‘06. Come out throwing deep. Not try going deep a couple of times and then stop. What kept Ala. in that game? What won the game for them? Was JPW off on some of his throws? Wonder what would happen if Coach let Stafford come out firing like we did in the last Sugar Bowl? Wonder what would happen if Moreno touched the ball, running and catching 20 times?

One Tennessee fan came aboard the good ship USS Dawgblog telling the one’s that cared to read him that UT would beat Florida if for no other reason than for Tennessee Pride…That, my good man, is sausage…

What we of the Orange and White witnessed yesterday was a good team beating a not so good team. We were outclassed from coaching on down. The most glaring point to me is CPF…I’ve called for his head on a platter before and I do it again today. His playbook resembles what worked in the 90’s, but not in today’s offensive schemes. Sure, if we had some playmakers on the O, it may make a difference, but not enough. Two straight years of losses to UF and scoring 20 points in both losses has earned CPF his ticket to ride. UT’s Athletic Dept needs to reaccess it’s desire to be competitive in the SEC on a weekly basis. I want to thank CPF for 1998 and the years of success, but like all things, his time has come to an end…

In the two losses to date, we’ve given up 45 and 59 respectivly. That ain’t good, unless we can score 46 and 60 respectivly…and we can’t. So to Kentucky, GOOD JOB, to the Dawgs, GOOD LUCK and to the Gators, CONGRATS and thanks for helping ease CPF toward the door…To Alabama, go to he11…

Dawgs used yesterday’s game to send a message. UGA probably could have won by any score that they wanted.

Talk about perspective….Last night Bama was down 7 with 4 minutes to go and decide to kick a field goal, just like UGA does against USC. Bama stops Ark and gets the ball back with 2 min. to go; UGA stops USC and gets ball back with 1:30. Bama scores TD, wins game and Saban looks like a genius; UGA doesn’t score, lose, and Richt is questioned about his decision making. My point is, players must execute in order to win games, and sometimes the other team will make a stop and win the game. It doesn’t mean our team stinks and or coach’s are idiots and should be fired after each loss; it means kids 18-22 aren’t always able to execute to perfection every single time out. Relax people, this is not the end all, be all, to human existence. It’s an escape from reality for 3+ hours each Sat. in the Fall.

First:Georgia is our team,win or lose, right or wrong.

Second:Mike Bobo needs to watch ALOT of SEC film,if he is going to get a handle on playcalling with current SEC teams.Some of the plays he is calling leave me scratching my head and asking ‘what the he*# was he thinking?”

Third: Coach Richt needs to research a “Loophole” around the “No Huddle Rule” the SEC adopted upon his arrival from the ACC.The no huddle was a big piece of the success puzzle for the Seminoles.

Fourth:The linebackers AND Defense need to keep their minds in the game the entire 3 hours.Not here & there.Sometimes it just looks like they forgot to get off the bus.

I hope someone on the coaching staff reads this and takes it as the constructive notes they are meant to be.

Rich Rodriquez on the Dawgs’ sideline? What brand of weed are you smoking fayncDAWG? First of all Rodriquez is coaching at his alma mater and will probably retire there. Second, while the Big East is proving to be tougher than most people thought, it’s still not the SEC. Rodriquez can dominate there for years to come. But enough about him or the Mountain Queers. Dawgs looked good and got a needed confidence boost. Tough, hard fought win by Alabama is exactly what I was hoping for.

It should be a tight game either way, and Georgia has played well on the road under CMR (although I don’t think we’re protecting our home turf like we used to).

But to be honest, after watching the FU Gaytors demolish Tennessee, I’d gladly sacrifice the game with Bama for a win over them. I’d like to see us beat the Gaytors for a change and our team to start looking at that game the way they do- as a big rivalry game. You have to wonder how our players look at that game, especially the last 5 or 6 years. No way they should be beating the snot out of us in the series (no matter what the individual scores may have been). Not that I think the Dawgs should be dominating them the way they did under Coach Dooley, but hell, Georgia is too damn good a program to just be mailing it in every year against them. And while I hoped Fulmer would be at UT for several years while the program continues its slow decline, I’ve changed my mind. Hopefully they’ll get a better coach in there soon and start beating Florida now and then. I know there is more to life than college football, but it does tend to have a decidedly bitter taste when Florida dominates.

Please, anybody, BEAT THAT TEAM AND SHUT THEM UP!!!

Sorry, I had to get that off my chest. Maybe things will look differently leading up to Jacksonville. Maybe the Dawgs will have seasoned up and be ready to win one from them, but I don’t know… it sure looks like another case of “Wait ‘till next year.”

Stafford has a few completions against a WCU defense that can’t even compete in their own conference and you think there’s a statement made? The only statement is the UGA coaches had better get those boys ready to play some SEC football come Sat. and our QB better show that aforementioned composure and make something happen against the Tide. The Bama QB showed true composure against AR. Did anybody else see Stafford falling all over his self in the 1st half? Ice water in his veins? More like cold beer!

At this point in time, this is the worst team of the CMR era. What gives? We certainly have the talent—It has to be the coaching. Unless something changes and changes in a hurry I see us losing all our remaining games with the exception of Auburn and that game will probably end in a o-o tie. Stafford appears to be highly overated. There is no comparison between he and Tebow. In my opinion, Tebow will win the Heisman next year. He certainly will be all SEC q.b. this year. The only team that has a chance to beat the gators this year is LSU and I’m not sure they can pull it off. At any rate, I’m afraid CMR will be on the hot seat at seasons end. He has been a great coach at UGA but something is terribly wrong this year and for the life of me I don’t know what the problem is unless its coaching. Having said all this, I am still a big, true loyal Dawg fan—have been for 57 years and will be till the I die.

Those wins aren’t looking too good now are they especially after that spankin you just got at home by BC? As far as the Gators, its hard to say how good they are really although they did destroy TENN. Tenn probably isn’t that good. BAMAs just needs to hush till they prove something. When is the last time BAMA was even relevant in the SEC? I just hope we can beat Gators this year, its not looking good now but its possible, I do recall back in the mid 80’s UF being number 1 and people saying they could beat the Chicago Bears but then we came out and put up 24-0 on the scoreboard. Hows that for some history? How sweet would that be to ruin the mighty Gators season! Go Dawgs!

Yes, we dawg fans bought into the hype again this year and who could blame us: The best QB Richt ever coached, top recruiting classes as far back as anyone can remember, a young OL but bolstered by JUCO experience seemingly when needed. The bottom line is that Stafford is OK but makes a ton of mistakes, more than QBs of reportedly less talent and less experience. The OL is abysmal and while the team in general has considerable talent, they don’t seem to have as much as the teams we measure ourselves against.

Why is everybody down on Stafford? If you were at the game or watched the game you would know he looked good. Zier even said that was the best he has thrown the ball since he has been at UGA, granted we were playing an ACC team, oops I mean Southern Conference team. He played one half and a series, the guy looked good and he is now 7-3 as a starter with three wins against ranked teams. He had two more drops yesterday. He can make all the throws, and you can see the gigantic talent difference between himself and Cox. Don’t buy into the dogs “looked bad” crap on here, we played a base D and basic offensive plays. Stafford made the throws, Moreno ran the ball and nobody got seriously hurt. Wasn’t that the point of the game? Don’t get down on this team yet, you sound like a bunch of Auburn fans with all of the negativity. We had ONE bad game against South Carolina, I believe it was poor coaching and poor motivation. I love this team they are really really talented and they will get better each week, once again don’t pay attention to the AJC.

shane, I was making fun of all these people who say that Stafford doesn’t have any talent. Running the ball? I’ve never said not to run, I have said that “all purpose yards” are the key, IMO, to use as a bench mark for a RB. Even the Ark. All American threw the ball and I believe it was passed to him one or two times. I don’t know what Moreno’s average yards per carry was but I do know the his average gain per catch was 7. So what’s the difference if you run or catch the ball if you average that many YPC? I thought people like you would read that post and know I was posting some “tongue in cheek”.

Conyers Dawg… chime in here… we need the kind of stuff you add to the blog… like actual insight into what is going on… not this garbage. Anyway… in response to Chip’s prompt… the Bama game is good for the dogs for one reason… They are terrible when they think they are better than the opponent. Maybe it is immaturity, or maybe it is because Georgia does not have a long term track record for consistency… but the worst thing is for the dogs to be favored. It is better when they sneak up on teams. I still say they will grow up in few weeks and finish big… that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. And as for the idiots saying Richt will never win a championship because he does not have the fire… I have to edit my thoughts or I will become a raving moron like so many others… just keep talking… Richt’s (and Georgia’s) time is coming. Keep the faith Bulldogs.

Urban Meyer is a carbon copy of Steve Spurrier…up by 4 touchdowns with 7 minutes to go and he still has his first team in there throwing the ball to run up the score! That is classless and what goes around comes around expecially in the SEC. He is going to regret it here one day soon when Tebow gets hurt last in the game.

I remember when Texas and Darrell Royal came out with Wishbone offense, no effective defense,a majority of high schools (including WAR EAGLE) and colleges ( Bama and Auburn) installed it as their weapon. Wishbone today,how many, can answer on one hand?..Military Schools.My point,Florida performs it very good because Urban Myers is the Darrell Royal of the spread. Many schools will use it next couple years, but their is a Defensive Coordinator in his office today and practice field tomorrow searching for a effective defense…it will happen and College football ball and the SEC gets more exciting.

Since the topic is about BAMA and their win being good or bad for the dogs, I will throw in my 2 cents. This is my opinion but the dogs have not looked very good all season. Their win over OSU looks less impressive now after they were stomped by Troy. Losing to SC at home showed that your run D is not very good and you guys have not faced a team with as good a passing attack as BAMA has. BAMA looked good last night in the 1st half but fell asleep in the 2nd. McFadden is the best RB I have seen play in many years and no team in the country will keep him under 150 yards in a game. The only reason he had 195 was because he didnt play for most of the 4th quarter. UGA has 2 good RB’s but the OL is not very consistent. Lots of work to be done there. BAMA has Terry Grant who has looked impressive this season so far. We also have a better OL who will be able to pave holes. Saban will learn how the Ol’ Ball Coach exposed the UGA D with the running game. On top of that, we have a very good passing attack and spread the ball around to 6 WR’s and 1 TE. On D, we are still questionable but I don’t think UGA has the same talent on O that Ark has. BAMA showed their desire to win on Saturday and in doing so, probably built up some good confidence. The stadium was loud as you can imagine on Sat and will be again this weekend. With our combination of running and passing, BAMA wins by 7-10. ROLL TIDE!!!

After a trip that would have made Odessyeus cringe, I have made it to Rochester MN. Sure we beat a small team and looked flat before the first half kickoff, duh. But we worked on what we needed to do. Moreno got more confidence. Cox got some great playing time and looked great, according to Larry, and I feel confident after watching the Bama game that we got them where we want them. The great news. There is a sports bar within five miles of my hotel that I will be wearing all Dawg apparel and get to do a Buck and get the entire place turned into Dawg fans next Saturday.

Old blawg topic, in the Minneappolis airport a brain dead bartender did think the G on my hat meant that I was a Green Bay fan. Previously and late at the TGI Fridays here in Rochester Minnesotta, I got, so you are from Georgia. So don’t give me that krappola that no one recognizes UGA stuff outside the state. Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, Perdue, and even one Iowa fan wanted to talk College football cause of the G on my hat. I hope this puts that dang topic to rest.

Was anyone impressed by Bama’s defence. Hey stop Stafford, I am putting in Joe Cox. Of course what I saw was that they can not stop the run. Listen to me Mike Bobo, run the rock 65% of the time. Just keep on pounding that rock and Willie Martinez will do the rest.

I am now at my second home in Minnessotta, it may be slower to get on the blog but I will be drinking more so at least it should be entertaining.

For all of you who have given prayers and your concerns over my daughters upcoming surgery here at the Mayo Clinic, guys, you make this tuff old bustard shed tears when he reads your comments.

Buck—— you have to multiply ypc by Stafford’s completion % to get a comparable stat.So if Moreno has a 7 ypc and Stafford’s completion % is 70 then the comparative value would be 4.9 for the catch and 7 for the run.That isn’t perfect because that type pass may have a higher or lower completion % than Stafford’s average but it’s better than the strait up numbers which don’t tell you much about the value of the catch.

Yellowblood and Ramble-

What you guys have to take out of that game is that you have some fantastic yalent in a program that is still growing into habits of winning. Choice and dwyer are all american types and when Tech gets used to winning they will pull out the close ones and won’t get down in a hole so deep they can’t pull out of it, like they did with BC. Hang in there, the future is bright.

GeorgiaGirl-

Are you kidding? The Dawgs celebrate so much after TDs and even a friggin sack that they almost get penalized for it. I wish they would celebrate after they get back to the sideline or even after the game. If you see less celebrating after a TD these days it is only because the Coaches and even a large portion of the fanbase have complained about it. You get penalties for that stuff, and we are renowned for getting penalties for it.

Brown needs to be benched. Moreno is by far the better back. I watched Saturday and came away very unimpressed. Especially after watching Troy and OSU. Stafford is the most overhyped QB in Collage. I may catch alot of crap for this, but he hasn’t shown me anything. I know sophomore, only started basicly a half season last year. I’m not saying that I don’t like him; rather he has done nothing special. We cam all sotp the comparisons to Tebow. Stafford is nowhere near that level. All of it is not his fault. UGA does not have near as good line play, WRs, heck even a consistent run game. When will we find one, just one damn reciever who will catch the ball consistently? Yeah , we have one (Massaquoi)whom we rarely throw to now. I have alot of questions about this team. Why do we have no depth at OL? Richt has been here 7 years and no depth. How can we have so called 5 star recievers, and can not cathch a darn cold? Why can’t we use one RB, and stick with him, or better yet, with our great and talented RBs why can’t we have a RB committie and dominate like LSU does? I don’t know about leadership, but I do know as far as energey and excitement, Henderson and Moreno are the two best that we have. I watched the game Sat. Very ugly. Lack of emotion, and intensity. Definitely did not need to play like that after the loss to USC. Maybe thats the best we can do this year. Anyway, hope I’m wrong. Hope they improve, starting this weekend. Go DAWGS

The thing about making the “sacrifice” of time to pray for a friend is that I am always blessed for doing it. God Bless you Cuz, War Eagle, and Buck.

The problem we will have against Bammer and a few other teams’ defense will be blocking for the run and/or pass. Seems like that problem opens up agrand possibility to me. Bring in Moreno, Brown and Southerland or Chappas… either split Moreno or send him in motion; use Brown and Southerland for blocking, possible draws, toss sweeps, and screens. It will make for a mroe intersting offense anyway. I wouldn’t mind seeimg some power I formations anyway.

I’m sure the coaches have some great stuff in mind without my help, but its fun trying to come up with ideas for handling that stuff. Ya’ll have a great day, I’ll check in later.

I’m going to be honest, GEORGIA isn’t looking that good & I see a disturbing trend. I’ve always raved about how good of a coach Richt is, but I’m starting to have real concern over the lack of leadership at UGA from last season up to now. When Richt first took over the program he did ‘more with less’. Now he has the MOST TALENTED team that’s probably ever been at UGA and were in a 3-3 tie w/ a Div-II team that’s 0-11 in their last eleven games, AND WE’RE PLAYING AT HOME!! Richt’s lost some assistants, and some senior leadership over the last few years, and there was a point & time I thought we were going to be alright. But it seems Shockley was the last ‘leader’ his senior year. The ‘06 season and, so far, this season have been without leadership. We lose a game to a lesser (much lesser) uSC team & if that wasn’t a ‘wake-up’ call, we go into the 2nd quarter w/ one of the worst Div-II teams in a 3-3 tie. Come On, Richt!! WAKE UP!! Do something before we go down the toilet!!

Did anyone else notice that Saban went for a fg against Arkansas in almost the exact situation that Richt did against S Carolina? Just under five minutes left trailing by a td at home. The only differences were that points seemed to be a lot harder to come by in the USC/UGA game and that Georgia was faced with longer yardage to get a td or first down. I was against the call for a fg at the time and did not think it was a smart call on Saban’s part either. I wonder how it would be looked at if the refs did not make the two pass interference calls (one of which was legit, the other was good, tight defense) and Bama didn’t score the td.

Glad the Tide had a tough game. I am expecting a nailbiter Saturday night.

I am a ‘Bama fan. GA wins because of a couple of reasons:

  1. Richt coaches GA up for away games incredibly well. the focus seems to be better for some reason than for home games.

  2. IF GA can get a running game going at all, ‘Bama will be ripe for giving up big plays in the passing game. Arkansas had very little threat in the passing game, which hurt them.

  3. ‘Bama is getting no pressure on the QB at all. No sacks, I don’t remember any hurries or knock downs.

  4. No way ‘Bama can get up to that level again offensively. GA has too good a defense, much better than Arkansas.

The Dawgs have a tough game this week against BAMA. For the past 3 weeks, the Dawgs have frustrated me by their play. Unlike teams like Florida, we are unable to get our offense rolling and firing on all cylinders. We sputter just like we have done in the past. Our defense seems to take series off and bad tackling continues to plague our team. But there is hope, the coaches are figuring out who can play this game on Saturdays and who are the playmakers. You hate it took this long to figure out, but happens when you have an extemely young football team.

A-ville Ranger, to figure YPC average you divide Total yards by # of carries. Same method is used for passes. If a pass is incomplete it still counts. Stafford threw to Moreno twice, hit both and got 14 yds. That’s an average of 7 yds. per pass. Someone help me here but did Stafford complete 18-24 passes? I’m just listening to every one “Diss” Stafford and hope they’re having a good time. I do believe that his attitude may have changed a little until I read what every player who’s asked has to say about him and that is he’s the best and really keeps his cool. Time will tell.

What’s wrong “Timmy”, not secure enough in your Dawg manhood to play with others? Do you need a timeout in the Dawghouse? Poor baby, other SEC football fans are typing in your little blog. What a pansy!!! What do you expect dumba** when the topic of the blog is how the Bama win will affect Georgia this weekend? Besides, Atlanta is made up of more than Georgia and Georgia Tech fans so get over yourself. Not our fault this one-paper town only focuses on in-state schools. If you’re so narrow-minded that you can’t discuss anything besides the Dawgnation that’s your problem! And if you don’t like it, hit the road. Just don’t get hit by a car while you lick yourself.

TIM…being that this is a public newspaper and forum and since the topic involved BAMA, I think it is ok that we as BAMA fan can comment. Now some history for you, the last time BAMA was favored to beat UGA was in 2002 in Tuscaloosa. You guys won by a field goal. Hardly what I would call getting beaten badly. Just my opinion though. The next year in Athens UGA was favored and win big. Had to correct you there. As for Saban’s last trip to Atlanta, that is completely irrelevant and i will tell you why. The year prior to that, he beat the Dawgs twice and in the SECCG, it was over very quickly. That game had no impact on the game the following year when the dogs won. Also, this game is in Tuscaloosa and not Atlanta! Home field advantage and confidence after a big win on Sat gives BAMA the end, hence us being a 4 point fav. BAMA wins by 7-10! ROLL TIDE!!

I know the number’s 5. I called Claude Felton after the 1st game to get an accurate count. I’m not sure if we played another lineman or not. You must have missed it but I’ve posted twice at least in the last week that I didn’t think my goal would be hit. That’s OK, I like being a player in the game and I’ve yet to see where Red Shirting all those guys last year has helped us in ‘07. Even CMR said that they should have played a couple more. CMR is the Coach so he can run his program the way he wants and I can disagree if I want to. SOS played 11 true freshmen and others are doing the same.

Some other Tech blogger said the South Carolina loss was worse than losing to a ranked BC team. Take a look at the Top 25 dumba$$ and count the SEC schools and compare how many ACC schools there are. Easy formula. BC is good and they are the cream of the ACC this year.

SEC is down this year, but still has half the conference in the top 25 and 2 of those are in the top 5.

I’m sorry, but that lackluster start against a really pathetic 1-AA team is big cause for concern. To give up 16 points against W Car does not bode well for how we’ll do against the SEC. If you can’t beat SC at home and still seem to have the issues that this team has, I don’t see what hope you have of beating Alabama at their place. Hell, Kentucky beat Louisville. It could be a long year for the Dawgs.

I agree with you our special teams are terrible. I think a coaching change is needed. Coach F can’t count only 3 on one side of the kickoff man Motion penalties on punts OH and hey what about that great special teams play against WV when everybody in the dome knew they woer not going to punt when we spread the field with them. All we had to do is line up a regular 5 man rush and this would have forced them to punt and the way we were playing DJ would have taken us in from about the 40 to score the winning TD but oh no coach JF screwed that call up big time along with lots of others since then. Our kick off coverage is terrible. we don’t stay in our lanes, shuck off blocks and we arm tackle all over the place.

All kidding aside. UGA is a young but talented team. They have enough talent that they are capable of beating anybody but unfortunately they are also inexperienced enough to lose games they should win. It wouldn’t surprise me if we beat AL and FL and lose to KY. Either way I expect to win every game and will be there cheering just as loud no matter what happened the week before. It seems that the weak teams are starting to catch up to the top teams. Who would have thought that Auburn would lose to Miss St, KY beats a top 10 team, and Vandy beating ole miss.

Chip,

I don’t think the win or the loss (if Bama had lost) are as important as the physical and emotional cost of that victory to Bama.

We will have to see how Bama bounces back, but that D looked tired the entire 4th quarter and the game was late Saturday night. Monday morning will come “early” to the Tide and it is difficult to snap back into things after a grueling game like that one.

It is interesting to see some fans reaction to this UGA team. I think the jury is very much still out… we could lose 5 games or we could lose 1 or 2?

If we do manage to beat AL, then wouldn’t 3-1 be a damn good start? Pre-season how many were realistically predicting 4-0 with Okie State, SC, and AL in the first three? Not many. A win over AL would be huge!

tech looks beatable, Auburn looks beatable, KY will be a tough game… Florida, we will be underdogs but you never know? Ole Miss looks beatable, TN looks dreadful. If we beat Alabama, we are right where we thought we would be.

AS A DAWG fan I have to admit..Tebow looks like a freakin beast out there. I read alot of stuff on here in the offseason about how he was going to take his licks and get beat up. Don’t see that happening so far…it is early…but he looks like a very very good QB to date.

TOP QB’s

  1. Woodson-This dude is really good
  2. Tebow-this dude is getting to be really good. 3A. Nickson-Does alot for Vandy..with littel cast 3B. Ainge-Numbers don’t lie…he is where I hought he would be…but you could flip flop Ainge and Nickson…depending on thought.
  3. Stafford-Getting better….only 1 INT…late thow up for grabs in SC game…only getting better every week. 5A. Parker Wilson-Getting better I think…still has the picks..it’s early though..he’s tough 5B. LSU’s tandem….both look pretty good…youngster lit it up Sat.
  4. Mitchell-SC QB….inconsistent….but can be very effecient when he plays…just ask us DAWGS
  5. COX-I don’t know….just thought he would be tons better. Got pulled at Miss. St. and has 6 picks…nuff said
  6. Everyone else…just my thoughts.

Just admit it, you’ve got nothing on the ramblin wreck. Tashard is going to have his 300 yard 5 TD game. Theres nothing you can do about it. Phillip Wheeler is going to donkey slap Fat Matt and the rest of the fleabag offense.

Actually, Boling is in the 5 count. Certainly no big deal to miss the number. Was just a S.W.A.G. anyway. You were the only one holding yourself to that prediction. I dont think anyone else really felt like the actual number mattered. It’s all a matter of need and situation. I’m ok with none or 10. Let’s not change what we do because Spurrier had his first highly rated freshman class in years though. The better he fills in his roster, the fewer true freshman will play there too.

Biggest game for the Dawgs since the ‘05 Sugar Bowl. ESPN has just said that their “College Game Day” show will be at Ala. this week for the game.Preception is reality and this is the 1st time since the WVa. wipe out that the Dawgs will have a chance to change the nations perception of our team. With all of the things that have changed in college FB over the last couple of years, IMO, this has now become the biggest game Ga. has played since CMR came to Athens. I hope the Coaches can make the players understand just how important this game will be. We’re playing for a lot more than just an SEC win. Hugh test for CMR as a Game Day H.C. Stafford? The spotlight will be squarely on his shoulders and if he’s a leader this is the game he MUST step forward and lead.

Buck——My point is valid’generally speaking.Your bringing up the two passes that were complete just clouds up the reasoning.If you go back to your original post which I responded to you were asserting that 7 yards is 7 yards whether they be by run or pass.To get a more accurate value you have to know what percent of those passes are being completed.I get it that both the passes were completed saturday but you seemed to be making a more general point.If you really could just look at the average yards per reception compared to average for a run all a team would do is pass.I don’t want to belabor this so if we still don’t see this the same way,no big deal we’re both fans….GO DAWGS.

Well after the SC loss, I swore I would not watch another game until we were playing for the national champioship. Some of you saw my frustration in the AJC quote in Carter’s article about the 5 SEC East losses in a row. I have changed my name in hopes that this team can change and show some guts. Saban’s and Nutt’s players were fired up big time on Saturday. I just hope Richt can show a lot of emotion this week that will rub off on our players. The only consistent thing about the teams in the Richt era is that they always come out flat. He has got to step it up or barring some miracle, we will always be a B+ program….

After watching a replay of saturday’s game here’s some things that stood out.The defense is NOT listless or confused looking.They looked real heads-up and got to the play quickly.They don’t hit big like some past teams but that seems to be a result of prioritizing positioning and making sure the ball carrier is secured than weak tackling.On offense,Stafford looks better on those shorter touch passes.He kind’a reminds me of how Randy Johnson used to look trying to throw a changeup when he was young.His arm is so strong it seems unnatural for him. It looks like he uses his fingers more than an average qb does to get loft.The key to the season is as it was in the spring the offensive line.The coaches really need to make signing a few very good O-linemen EVERY YEAR a top priority.It’s obvious coach Searels can teach with the best but there’s too many freshmen who don’t have the needed strength yet.

A-ville Ranger, I may have missed a number but I’m saying the same thing you are. Stafford threw two passes to Moreno and they picked up 14 yds. If he had thrown say 7 passes to him and they picked up 14 yds. then the average would have been 2 yds. per catch. I used 7 simply because it’s easy to divide 14 by 7. My simple mind at work…….Altahama, it’s just agreeing to disagree. After the 1 st game I did call Felton’s office to get an accurate # and he left me a message saying 5. Bolling played in the 2nd game. I’m just making a point about SOS playing true freshmen and disagree with CMR but he’s the Coach and I’ve never said it was my decision to make………Back to important things like Sat. night and “Game Day” I hope our guys get the message as to how much this game means to the Dawg program..

A-ville Ranger, since several blogs have been posted since the on we’re talking about, I’ll answer you later but you’re right. It was just a missed statement on my part. Stafford only threw the ball to Moreno twice for the 14 yds. Attempts have to be counted and I’ll do so in the future.
