While I agree from an injury perspective, I think the UF game showed what a back can do when he gets a rhythm. If I were coach, I give my top back the rock 80% of the time and my second back(s) the other 20. If your top back goes down, move the rotation up one. We’ve got plenty to go around and will continue to if this outstanding recruiting continues.

Good for Moreno if he could have played another whole game. I say keep his carries around the 20-25 times a game if he is producing. His running opened up those long pass plays. When Thomas gets back then ease him back into the rotation. Both can be explosive, especially since the OL seems to be jelling and opening up some holes there.

let the young man have about twenty carries this week and sit him down… we need him healthy for Auburn and Kentucky. I would hate to see him hurt in a meaningless game against a highly motivated and very tough troy team.

Letting Jason Johnson and Kalvin Daniels get in the game some more is fine, they both looked pretty good in limited action earlier. But Knowshon is simply on another level with his vision and elusiveness, gotta put it on his shoulders.

Brown definetely has earned the right to play. He is solid with pass blocking and catching out of the backfield. Moreno is an awesome player though and it would be hard justifying not getting him the ball ALOT.

Have to agree w/ Diamond Dave on this one…to a certain extent. Against Troy, I don’t think there’s any reason to ask him to carry the ball more than 15 or 20 times. Come out of the gate JUST like we did against Florida…run Moreno as many times as it takes to hit paydirt, or until they shut us down. After that, you’ve got to split his time w/ other backs. I know they don’t have his talent, but we still have too many fresh legs to completely run Knowshon’s tank empty…especially after what he’s done against Vandy and Florida.

Something I find interesting. It makes perfect logical sense to rotate backs to prevent exhaustion/injury, BUT, TB and Lump both got hurt while they were splitting carries. And as far as I remember, the only time Knowshon has been banged up at all was while he was splitting carries with those guys. Since we’ve made him the feature back, he’s stayed healthy. Just goes to show that injuries can happen at any time, regardless of workload, and as Diamond Dave said, the kids got talent…might as well take advantage of it!

I’ve said all along, Moreno shouldn’t get 30 a game.What if he’d blown a knee on that 33rd run ? Johnson got 7 on his lone carry,he should get enough shots where the coaches see what he’s got to offer.Luck and wise choices don’t always go together but why risk it? Knowshon said he didn’t get tired but it’s clear he did.He runs with his knees bent and he’s very solid which is good.Still there’s no back in the country averaging more than 28 carries a game(Hart is getting right at 28 at Mich) and most of the top guys get 25 or fewer.

Herschel was asked once if he minded carrying the ball 25 times a game.He said “no sir, the ball ain’t heavy”.If Knowshon the wonder dawg is healthy, by all means let him wear down the opposing defense.To this point he doesn’t look any worse for wear,indeed he seems,like most exceptional backs,to get stronger as the carries pile up.My God a Freshman!!!!

No way does Moreno need more than 20-25 carries. Take 10-13 carries away from him and lets save some of that energy for the brutal games we’ve got coming up. ‘Cause I’ll guarantee you that he won’t be feeling like he can play another whole game after the Auburn game. They are gonna hit and hit hard.

Chip, I’m a little worried injury wise about two players. I’ve been reading primarily on David Ching’s blog that it looks like Kelin Johnson and Sean Bailey might be doubtful for the game. Is that true?

And if so, who would step in for Bailey? He’s been our most consistent receiver and is very clutch. We need his hands. Who would step in to start?

And I’ve been also reading that if Kelin Johnson doesn’t start, then Reshad Jones is supposed to step in for him. For all the balleyhoo that Reshad received in the preseason, I’ve gotta say he’s been a mild disappointment. Seems like he has too many mental lapses on game day. Remember the touchdown that the UF receiver caught over him? Looked like Jones didn’t give enough effort on that play. If he’d have jumped up and tried to intercept the ball…or even just try to knock it down, that touchdown might not have happened.

Anyone else agree/disagree?

Still…GO DAWGS!!

BCD and others…I posted some stats a couple of weeks back showing clearly that NO BACK carries it 80% of the time.The highest was only 64%(Hart and the Cal back) most so called feature backs get well below 50 % of the team’s carries.Knowshon was already at 46 % before the UF game, which was near the high end compared to the top backs,most of which are jrs and srs.Those saying he should just run till he drops are ignorant or foolish.When you’re foolish with another person’s health I’m sure there are better words to discribe you but none come to mind.

Guess I’m in the minority, again, but why pound Moreno into the ground? We have no idea as to how long it’ll take for TB to go down again. Does anyone really think that J. Johnson will be the “Man” if Moreno does go down? I hope that Caleb King doesn’t dress for the game “just in case we need him” and I hope he doesn’t play because if he made one mistake the coaches would be all over him. Why not see some creativity in the offense play calling? Put Moreno in the slot and throw to him. Let Johnson< since he’s a solid #2 run the ball 6-8 plays. Run a double TE set and let the #2 FB block. There are a lot of things that can be done to ease the pressure on Moreno. Do them starting this week with Troy. Don’t wait until the 4th quarter of the AU game.

Look he’s what 19-20 years old. He carried the ball the first 6 games 10-15 times a game. At this point in the season even after the last 2 games he has fresh legs. This is not a 31 year old 10 year Vet of the NFL. Give him the ball and let him make plays. Mike Hart from Michigan a senior this year carried the ball 44 times one game and regularly get 25-30 carries. It hasn’t affected his production. The kid never fumbles. Moreno is fine, lets not make a big deal out of this. PLEASE!

By TybeeDawg

There always used to be one feature back at most schools. They would get 20-25 carries a game. If he is in shape, he can handle it….and is he ever in shape! As far as injuries go, they are gonna happen. They can happen on the first carry or the 35th carry. We may need him the whole game…no one knows how this game in going to unfold. Besides, he needs to average 204 yards a game to break Hershel’s freshman record!

We should continue to get Go-Shon as many carries as he can handle. Bring in Johnson every so often to pound the rock,then play action everyones a$$.Line up and run at them all day,they looked very good vs U.F. and the O.L. would love it, it would give them more confidence in the run game when we face Auburn and everyone else. I think this team can forge it’s identity from the running game

Like Diamond said he gives us the best chance to win and I think that Johnson is a good change of pace guy. LETS GO DAWGS

The nation is fearing the Phreshman Phenom, Knowshon. We need to keep that fear in them, so we can execute effective passing plays. Don’t run him till he is paralyzed below the waist, but run him strategically to get the momentum offensively, and also to keep the D off the field and by the Gatorade a little longer. Runs take more time off the clock, opposed to the passing game. This can be accomplished w/o having to run him 35+ times, but 20-30x is effective whilst using Sutherland and Johnson.

Mark Richt’s tailback rotation is counter-productive to what all running backs need: rhythm in the ground game with consistant carries.

This rotating backs every other possession is stupid, and it leads to things like losing games.

I say, play your best player, even if his back-up winds up being a senior. No one can say that Brown is better than Moreno, because he’s not. He’s a third and long down back at best on this team, because Moreno is just that far superior than any other back we have.

Moreno should tote the rock a minimum of 25 times a game. That should leave about 10 to 15 carries for Brown or Johnson or whomever.

This is the way it should be, and when Caleb King is ready next year, if he’s better than Moreno, then so be it. But I would use King like USC used Bush. Put him out at reciever some, do some punt returns, and give him 15 carries a game while Moreno play the LenDale White role and get 25 carries a game.

This is also how we should use Brown this year. My dad is a huge Giants fan, and he told me before the year began that Brown should be the third down back, like Dave Meggett was for the Giants when they had Rodney Hampton.

That same idea fits here.

This running back rotation is stupid and it hurts the offense.

Obviously you run him as much as necessary to beat Troy, but I definitely think you don’t want to do it. I know Knowshon made some INCREDIBLE runs against Florida, but if our O-line and fullbacks block the way they did against Florida, we should be able to establish and maintain the running game, regardless of who the back is. Use Knowshon to set the pace early, then use him only when necessary for the rest of the game.

As said previously, Johnson a good change of pace guy. But still give Moreno 26-28 carries. When Brown’s back, I’d like to see some ‘bone sets. Auburn had two feature backs on the field a few years ago with Cadillac and Ronnie Brown, so why not us?

Lowcountry Your logic is backward,a senior like Hart (the only back in the country who gets 28 carries a game) is more mature physically than a 19 year old.Do some research,bones, connective tissue,muscle,etc are all more developed at 22 than 19.Again though ONLY HART carries that much,so I guess they’re the only team in the country who knows how to use a back.It would be stupid and perhaps even negligent to treat the kid like a rented mule….disclaimer (I in no way advocate the misuse mules be they rented or otherwise).

To follow-up on Don’s comment…

I said it Monday and I’ll say it again today…I’m disappointed with the lack of positive commentaries following the UGA-UF game. Typically when UGA loses…the columnists are like “flies on a rib-roast” in making light of the short-comings. So what do we see after the biggest victory since the 2005 SEC champhionship game? We see one pathetic diatribe by Moore on the “foolishness” of the celebration. Please tell me that Schultz and Bisher are on vacation?

I misstated facts,I went back to update my research on the RBs usage.My numbers were taken from backs on the highest rated teams not those with the top stats.Here are the accurate numbers…Matt Forte Sr Tulsa #1 rusher 29 carries a game 73% of team’s total….Keven Smith Jr UCF #3 rusher 30 per game 64% of team’s total……..Ray Rice Jr Rutgers #4 rusher 29 per game 75% of team’s total.Hart is still close to 64% as well.All of these backs are Jrs or Srs and none have to face SEC defenses week after week.Mcfadden and Jones will both be top draft picks from Arkansas as were the 2 Auburn backs a few years back so Moreno shouldn’t worry about exposure.If he gets 22 carries per game at a 6 yds per carry rate over a 13 game season he’ll have 1716 yds next year,that’s not too shabby for the team or Knowshon.

Chip, I too would like to hear about any injuries.

I think way too much time and effort was spent on the touchdown celebration. I would be interested in hearing from Bobo about his play calling up to this point, what has he learned, how does he think he’s doing?

One other thing I am curious about, how many current SEC head football coaches were contacted and asked to comment on CMR’s “celebration call” and how many were willing to respond on the record? I know technically that has to do with the call itself, and I just said too much time was spent on it, but my question isn’t about how they responded, but rather on the willingness of some of the coaches to call a collegue out. I was surprised that Bobby Johnson, who has to play Richt every year would be so comfortable chiding him publicly.

For Troy I would pull Moreno back some, give him a rest for the following week and give the ball the Jason Johnson. The few times I saw Johnson run against Fla., he ran very strong. Moreno needs the rest and Johnson needs carries for additional experience.

Arville,

So you are telling me that at 21 or 22 that they can handle 25-30 carries a game but at 20 Moreno can’t? Sorry not a doctor but that doesn’t make sense. Also a hit is a hit whether its Big 10 or Big East.

I don’t want to run him in the ground, but he has barely carried the ball all season up to 2 games ago. Let the coaching staff do what they see fit, and if it means 30 carry’s a game the next 4 games then do it.

How many carriers did Rice average last year? Or Hart as a Sophomore?

I try to respond to good questions if and when I see them but I don’t always see them all and they’re not always all that good (joke)… . On that note, I’ll address some your questions and comments:

As for the injury situation, FS Kelin Johnson (knee) is out this week. WR Sean Bailey has a kind of trick knee situation going on but the latest on that is he’ll probably play, or at least try to… .

The reason you don’t usually see injury “news” and the like here is that we have it other places. I appreciate all the regular visitors here to the UGA blog but the blog itself is not a one-stop shopping experience. However, the UGA page IS and you can usually find everything you need to know somewhere on there. This is a place to discuss the news and issues regarding Georgia sports and we’ll talk about it until the cows come home. I’ll try to point it out whenever major news or something particularly intriguing or interesting develops but I’m not going to post news updates all day and night because I do have a life outside of this job. It’s hard enough as it is just to read all your comments, which I always try to do… .

Don: I seriously doubt your comment to Terrence’s column was censored just because it was in disagreement with his opinion and it certainly would not have been unless it included profanity, racial slurs or similar such ugliness. We’re big into free speech here and we have to go to a lot of trouble to remove readers’ comments. Which brings up …

You guys must learn to differentiate between columnists’ opinions and the newspaper as a whole. Terence Moore disagreed with Richt’s celebration ploy, NOT the newspaper. The AJC, like all major newspapers, is a blend of objective reporters and editors who’s job it is to gather and analyze news and a few columnists to tell us what THEY think about it. It wouldn’t make a lot of sense for us as a newspaper to be “against” everything UGA when so many of our readers are fans or alums of the state school, now would it? Conspiracies to that end are ludicrous and borderline stupid… .

Every Wednesday the SEC conducts a teleconference in which all 12 of the league’s coaches are available to answer question in roughly 10-minute intervals… . I was unable to ask every single coach because other reporters from other papers around the nation all have questions they’re trying to get in also. I didn’t ask Tuberville because our Tony Barnhart had already talked to him and I didn’t ask Meyer because he’d be asked about it enough already. Others were just who I could catch and who I thought y’all would want to hear from.

The rotation of tailbacks makes sense in theory. But the assumption that it is based on is that each of the tailbacks in the rotation are equally effective. THEY AREN’T! Moreno is more talented than the others and should get the ball in a typical game 20 -25 times. And on special occasions against a bitter rival like UF, as many as it takes!

I think that Moreno should still get the bulk of the carries, but I’d like for him to be good and rested for next week. I’d say give him between 20-25 carries. Johnson should get 10-15. Or maybe Johnson could get less and this could be more of a chance to focus on Stafford gelling with his receivers. I know Troy is no pushover (won 6 in a row), but I doubt they’re to the level of Auburn or Florida and I think we can at least hope to pad Stafford’s stats a little. Seems like he needs to focus on more short routes and get the timing going with his receivers. Against Florida there was a definite improvement in the long passes, but there really weren’t that many of them. Just the couple that he did make were the bulk of his yards.

Moreno is not too doing too bad to start out as 3rd string RB. I thought the RS year was used to build him up physically and prepare him for the harshness of the game. Some guys are made to run the football and run it a lot. Walker, Williams, McFadden, Brown, etc. I liked A-Ville’s post about the percentages that the #1 RB’s run in those offenses. Of course I don’t know how effective their passing games are. I think ours is coming around and that running game which now can be considered very good will help balance everything out.

Regarding the possibility of injury? I know the chances go up the more you carry the ball but an injury can happen at anytime, blocking, trying to catch a pass, running a pass route. Ask Lumpkin. Moreno is elusive I think he can handle it. If it is working then use it,

You guys love to blow the whole Running back rotation way out of proportion. I’m betting its pretty difficult to come up with an example of rotation back every other series. It might have happened on occation because of circumstances, (time outs, Turnovers, defensive stands or lack of) but even when we had 2 healthy at a time, we rarely rotate to that degree. Look back at this years game and I think you will see, we used (whichever) back for several series, sparing him when needed. Just like every other team in the league with more than one capable RB.

KnoMO get 20 carries this week, mostly early, we work on the passing game, see him 30 times again if we need to beat AU.

I for one, am certainly no Terrence Moore fan but it is his opinion. Wouldn’t you believe that HE thinks it is undisputable, carved in staone fact in HIS mind? Much the same way you believe his opinions are assinine?

As I stated, I am no TM fan. Some much to the point I don’t read or care about his opinions. If you wish to show your displeasure of Moore, don’t read his column or repeat what he has written or said. He is a journalist whether you like him or not. Your best weapon as a reader is to ignore him. He strives on stirring controversy. As long as your belly aching about him, he has achieved his goal.

To the question at hand, I don’t think theres any kind of set schedule to run Moreno. He has peoven our playmaker and go to guy but he can’t carry the load himself without risking injury. Someone earlier mention Mike Hart.Hart has been out for two games. Being 20 yrs old makes no difference when you take the pounding week in and week out these guys do. The body has to heal. Look at Tebow, 3 weeks ago he was being referred to as Superman.

i agree with a lot that is being said here,a few points of difference.zoo,you are right that moreno started at third string,but in name only,he was going to get his share had lump not been hurt.he will get the bulk of the carries,but brown will,and should get his share.i liked the way our running game was working with both backs.i also remember how brown ran against ole miss when moreno couldn’t get started.give it to the hot hand at auburn.if brown is back he will be chomping at the bit and i think he will light au up!a-vile,are you a wussy?i thought you were a stand up guy.wipe the keyboard clean?a real man would lick it dirty!palmetto,i think we should win the game before we rest moreno,we can’t take anyone for granted.remember au-miss st?finally,white and gold,yeah we missed you,like a toothache!why don’t you go back to the dark crevice that you have been hiding in,you insect!beating uf was like turning on a light at night,all the bugs scurried out of the room.shouldn’t you tech guys be thinking about recruiting instead of infecting our blogs?i think there is a two star 160lb line backer in omaha that kent state might steal from you,better get a coach out there!

Brown and the way the Ole Miss game unfolded was a great thing to see. Hopefully Brown will be back for AU and they will both be able to run for a ton. Just beat the living daylights out of Troy first. Our D better be ready to go full bore.

zoo,i was in the stands at the ole miss game and the uf game.if you remember that d that ole miss has was keeping the game close into the third quarter.moreno had tried and failed to get one yard for a first down on consecutive carries.brown came in and took the game over.it was a beautiful thing to see!it was like moreno in the second half at jax.on an earlier post somebody wrote that we didn’t go deep much against uf.when you have the lead in the second half,and your stud running back is getting one first down after another and the d cannot stop him,why throw?i know buck loves the passing game,but he is smart,i think even buck would agree with that!i saw that some of the “fire willie”guys were on the recruiting blogs yesterday.man,i am glad i never had one of them for a co!look at the way uf moved the ball on lsu,in tiger stadium,then look at the way our d held them to 23 points,remember that an interception return accounted for 7 points.when uf went for two on the pat,we held them,late in the game when they went for it on fourth down,we held them.one guy said a soft d gave up the big plays,i was there,and on both bombs we had seven in the box!we even had seven in the box on a third and eighteen,stupid maybe,but definately not soft!tebow is a great qb that saw an opening and burned us!frankly,i wanted to see more of the cover two in the second half,we got a couple of sacks,but we gave up points too.all in all though,willie did a good job.

shane, couldn’t agree more on WM. Those guys were ready to play and did a great job of keeping Tebow in check (regardless of injury status). I agree you have to have that running game going to manage the game properly. We did a lot of damage with the passing game. I think it will be great to finalloy have a 1000 yard rusher in our backfield again.

phats, you know I don’t disagree with you on the #10 ranking. However since UGA doesn’t run the polls and have any influence over where we are placed we have to live with it. The next four weeks will show us if it is deserved or not. Like last year and the Auburn game maybe the UF game is the game where the team recognized its potential and finally lives up to it. OL, D, and passing game.

Guys the way I see it, we’ll never have a rb the likes of Herschel again. The new Herschel plays for Arkansas unfortuately. I saw a few days ago someone had claimed that we are apparently running back U. My question to you is how? We have consistently ruined talent at RB and WR for the last…oh I dont know…2 decades or so! Moreno is solid, but he by no means wears blue spandex and a red cape. McFadden is a much better back or player than we have on our team and 30-35 carries was all he could handle in the Alabama game. If any of you idiots had a clue about football you would know there only so much a guy can take. I see us with 2 and quite possibly 3 more losses this year b/c we don’t have a OL worth a damn or a QB. Thank God we have help coming next year b/c we really suck this year. Im sure CMR will figure out how to soften next years class up to so they end up being pansies on the field as usual. I’m not quite sure how much more losing to Spurrier and Fulmer I can take!

If moreno was ready to go a another whole game after carrying the ball 33 times against Florida i’m pretty sure giving him the ball 25-30 times against troy will not really affect his energy level for the auburn game. Play him enough to secure the win against troy, even if lt’s the whole game, worry about resting him when the win is secure. We need to win out.

Let Knowshon run the majority of the carries by far. This week let Johnson several carries to give him some more experience and give Knowshon some breathers. When Brown comes back let him get a few carries but Knowshon has proven he should get the majority.

I agree that Moreno needs a full season as THE featured back to fully see what he can do. But head to head this season? Moreno is right there with Choice statistically and he has only started 2 games as RB. Not taking anything away from Choice because he is definitely one of the best backs in the country and will go high in the draft and have a great pro career.

Moreno is changing UGA into a “want more” team. I hope we can contain him. Auburn has very few RB who rush over 100 yards last 4-5 years, so if #24 exceeds that, look out Auburn and Tech.

Would I want him playing for Tech? You bet your a$$ I would. He would be a great weapon to add with Tashard and Dwyer. I don’t think he is UGA’s savior though. Tashard is proven and Moreno is in the process of proving himself. His numbers will go higher as your line matures. You’re still a QB away from being a SEC contender team however.

Okay fellas, can we cool it on the potty mouth for a second. There’s a lady present and she actually has a couple salient points to make that don’t have anything to with rumbling in the Varsity parking lot…

1) If, and that’s a big if, Thomas Brown is back for the Auburn game, I think CMR will use his versatility as a runner, catcher and blocker to ease him back into the rotation. He may not get as many carries, but he’ll definitely get his hands on the ball.

2) CMR has been effusive in his praise of Kno-Mo, including his ability as a blocker, so I don’t see him cutting down on his carries that much. I think he drops down to 15-20 carries and that is sufficient if TB is having success. If TB isn’t getting it done, I think Moreno carries the ball as many as 25 times.

3) From what I can tell, Troy isn’t exactly a defensive juggernaut, particularly against the run, so I don’t see Knowshon having to play a whole heckuva lot. I fully expect him to rack up 80-100 yards by halftime, which will allow him to rest during the second half, the entire 4th quarter at least. So if he’s hot in the Auburn game and we need him to keep totin’ the rock, he’ll be rested enough to handle it.

Okay, boys, you are now free to return to your chest thumping.

Hope you’re right about point #3. I think a lot of that has to do w/ our offensive line play. You’re absolutely right about the Troy run defense…they gave up over 250 rushing yards to Florida and over 350 to Arkansas. If our line plays like they did this past Saturday, any of our backs, Johnson, Daniels, Chapas, should be able to get decent YPC and HOPEFULLY, we won’t have to depend on Knowshon’s talent to make plays on his own.

Wes:

And remember, UF doesn’t have a decent tailback, so most of those 250 yards went to Tebow, a quarterback. Another point to remember: Coach Richt said our O-line didn’t really block all that well against Ole Miss and Vandy and Moreno and Brown still combined for 350+ yards in those two games. With Knowshon’s elusivity and speed, I think he’ll have a pretty good day against Troy whether the line does a good job or not.

ugagal and wes,there is one downside to those rushing yards given up by troy.troy scored a lot of points against both teams.that means they score quickly,and don’t depend on controlling the ball.how much knowshon will play depends on our defense.i would not want to be willie on this one,do you blitz and try to disrupt their offense,or do you go to the nickle package and try to cover the field?i haven’t seen troy play,but if they run a west coast offense the short passing game may negate the blitz.i am afraid kelin being out may hurt us badly.it is probably just me,i was around too much in the dooley era and he worried about playing william and mary if william was out sick!

Knowshon Moreno has proven that he is the real deal and should get at least 30 touches a game. By touches I mean both runs and passes and when Brown comes back as several of my fellow dawgs have posted ease him back into the mix. As for the OL it has been improving each week as these guys have played together and gotten to know one another. If this team plays the way they are capable we will beat Troy, but if they play like they did in the Tennessee and South Carolina games we could lose. Here’s hoping the Dawgs who beat OK ST, AL and The Gators show up Saturday.

Go Dawgs

Shane,

Great point. I know they run a lot of 3 and 4 receiver formations…very similar to Florida from what I’ve heard with a lot of designed QB runs. I think a lot of it depends on if their QB is healthy. Also, I think I heard something earlier in the week about at least one of their receivers being a bit banged up.

Good news is, if Howard and Battle play like they did against Florida, we shouldn’t have to blitz much…of course, that’s a big if. I think moving Wynn back out to DE will help as well.

White and Gold has left the room and gone tailgaiting. Now can we descend to talking about football.

I think Knowshon is one of a special breed. Give him the ball more times and he just gets better. I say let him tote the rock at least 30 to 35 times on Saturday. And even if TB comes back for the Auburn game, does anyone here think he will be 100%. I don’t and I am a TB fan for his intestinal fortitude. Put him in and fake it once or twice but save him for the Ky-jelly game when he should really be ready.

As a founding member of the Noble and Sacred Order of the FANS OF CHAN, I take this occasion to pull for the bugs to beat the turkeys. Since they are playing in downtown Chanistan, I think this game will be Chantastic and by halftime our Chantasy will be fullfilled. Chantasia once again.

Atlanta Gator, welcome back. I always say, most can vouch for me, that all I want to do is win the SEC. That is the Championship I want. If the MNC happens to fall in with, just icing on the cake. I think that UF showed last year that an SEC team can beat the so called giants of the Big 10 and Pac 10 and win the MNC, but most times, they will not give us the chance to do so. At least the SEC is a real two team championship. And yeah, I swallowed my pride and pulled for you guys against Ohio State last year, even though I have posted that I would pull for Hamas over the Gators.

Notes:…Meyer says he’ll have 33 Sophs. playing next year. So what, We don’t know for sure but a Dawg team of old may have come back…..SOS…says Meyer should have started a fight and then Ga. may have had all their players suspended for the next game. W all jumped all over Stafford for his mistakes this season, don’t you think a little love is OK. Didn’t know it until CMR said it, but of the 60 plus plays we ran Sat, 60-70% of them were audibles by Stafford at the line of scrimmage. He made one mistake, a pic, but I’ll take 3 TDs, 10-13 3 rd down conversions and calling the audibles that got the ball to our play makers, then made plays himself when needed. I thought that 3rd down pass to Figgins was neat. He’s gonna be a “Hoss”. This week will answer a lot of questions about the Dawg staying power but man I did see some pancakes.

ES——For the record, I’m the Atlanta Gator, not the “ATL Gator.” There’s some other guy infringing on my tradename under the handle “ATL Gator.” That’s not me, but what can you do, eh? Sue?

IMHO, the ring goes to the Gator defensive lineman who earned it by making an extraordinary play in jumping high and catching a good piece of that Gamecock kick. When you win as many close games as the ‘06 Gators did, it’s not luck. It’s heart and good coaching, but you’re entitled to your opinion, no matter how biased or otherwise misguided.

As for your crystal ball and all of those predicted future five-loss seasons, let’s just say I’ve read the recruiting reports, I understand the talent level of all of the freshman, red-shirt freshman and sophomore recruits, and I believe in the quality of the coaching. I’m ready to put my C-note against your U.S. Grant on the outcome of the Gators’ 2008 season——are you? Three to five losses forever? Riiiiight.

I understand what you are saying about R. Jones. His speed and athleticism are obvious on the field, but he needs to continue to learn technique and gain confidence out there.

Lets remember that he is a true freshman. It is too early to judge him. He was in the right spot against UF on that touchdown, but he didn’t make a play on the ball properly. Hopefully, he will develop into a great player like we think he can.

Puppydawg, other slammers: Let me make something perfectly clear to you and everybody else that is dissing us all the time: Yes, our circulation is dwindling, but that’s because we are letting it. The world is changing and more and more people are getting their news online instead. In fact, more people are reading our newspaper than ever. Millions and millions every day. Better yet our advertisers have caught on, too (ever checked out that Kohler ad on the sports and uga pages? Pretty cool.) We’re making money. We’re profitable. More people are reading us than ever. We’re not going anywhere and we’re getting better and better every day. That’s a fact. Now like I said, you may not like or agree with what Terence writes and that’s your prerogative. And I’m not sure what you’re talking about as far as facts with his column because his was simply an opinion about what Richt and the Bulldogs did against Florida and, as a 30-plus year observer of sports he didn’t like it. Nevertheless what he does is just one tiny bit of what all we do. We also keep our politicians in line, report on crime, expose wrongdoing and evil-doers, bring you stories of heroes and heartache and health concerns and miracle cures. And we think enough of UGA to employ two full-time sports reporters and a higher education reporter to tell you what’s going on there year ‘round. We’re one of the most respected and decorated newspapers in America, flush with reporters and editors who are the best at what they do and have paid their dues to get here. It goes WAY beyond “their coverage of Georgia sports in too negative.” How narrow-minded can you get? That said, our coverage of the Dogs is objective, not a bunch of jock-sniffing boosterism you get at fan forums and in specialty rags. Are we perfect? No. Do we make mistakes? Sometimes. But considering the volume of and speed with which you receive the news and information you seek, we’re pretty dog-gone good… So get off this crap about how terrible the AJC is and learn to view and appeciate a newspaper in the true journalistic context in which it should. If you do that I’m sure you’ll realize you’re pretty fortunate to be able to log on here free of charge every day.

Oh the agony… go to a political blog if you need to sit around and complain about the media or Cynthia Tucker or any of that dreck… this blog is about the Dawgs. I think this team is going on a roll that will carry them through the season and into something incredible next year. We are going to remember last week as the beginning of a streak not seen around here since Lewis Grizzard was still writing for the AJC. Let’s enjoy it. Let’s blog about it… and leave politics(left or right) to the millions of other places that welcome such misery.
