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!

Stories in the stats …
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Spent a few minutes scouring the stats and had a few things jump out at me:
• Georgia has allowed 25.6 points per game this season, just one point per game shy of the worst mark in school history (26.6 per game allowed in 1990).
• Georgia’s defense went from first to worst in sacking quarterbacks — from an SEC-leading 42 sacks in 2007 to a last-in-the-league 18 sacks this season.
• Georgia is minus-2 for the season in turnover margin, a telling drop from plus-nine in 2007.
• On a positive note, Georgia players continue to lead the SEC in passing, rushing and receiving yards per game. If that’s still the case after the bowls, it’ll be, according to the SEC, the first time since the 1966 Florida Gators that one team has had the league’s individual leaders in all three categories.
Matthew Stafford has an insurmountable lead in passing yards: 267.4 per game. Knowshon Moreno has a narrow lead in rushing yards: 111.5 per game. And A.J. Green’s closest competition in receiving yards comes from … teammate Mohamed Massaquoi. Green has 79.2 yards per game, Massaquoi 75.8.
The Bulldogs, by the way, have been away from the practice field for a few days because of final exams. They resume bowl preps on Wednesday and will practice daily through Saturday, then disperse for the Christmas break and reconvene in Orlando on Dec. 26.
Meanwhile, any stats jump out at you about this season?
