Looks good. Give JTIII the first quarter next week, Stafford the second and see who’s performing better to determine the second half QB. The defense should keep us close anyway.

for what it’s worth….

an interesting game….

joe t was ok….but, WOW, was that stafford coming in and throwing the redshirt out the window!

& it’s pretty obvious why….

his arm strength is amazing, yet, it was nice touch on his touchdown pass…

but, we all know it’s only western kentucky….

here’s what going to happen….

joe t will start against the cocks….

can i say cocks here?

as soon as he stumbles…..stafford steps in and shows us all why he could not be redshirted….

sorry cox, you blew it….

joe t…..is joe t……is joe t…..

but, with stafford….it’s pretty obvious…..he’s a potential star….

and we just saw a glimpse of his beginning to stardom….

pretty cool!

go dawgs…

I had no problems with the parking. Everything seemed to flow smoothly. About the game…. Joe Tereshinski should not be the starting QB for the University of Georgia. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. I know the score, but the offense was boring with Tereshinski. Joe Cox came in and threw another interception. He blew his chance. Stafford came in with some zip on his passes. It is time for Stafford to play and to learn on the job. South Carolina will not be fooled by Joe Tereshinski next week. The Hilltoppers batted down a couple of his passes. South Carolina’s DBs will intercept those throws.

After watching the game today, I think that Stafford will get the opportunity to be the first guy off the bench next week. Joe Cox doesn’t have the arm strength or size to stand back there and fire the ball the way Richt wants to. Stafford does. JTIII is merely holding the starting job until Stafford is ready. As far as Richt is concerned, Blake Barnes must not exist.

Aside from the QB issues, the offense didn’t look very good today. The defense was fine until we went to our third-string guys. Next week’s game against Spurrier is going to be tough and we’ll need the defense to come up big. Can anyone say, “Typical low-scoring UGA-USC game?” I knew you could.

Liked that Joe T was running the no huddle, didn’t expect to see that any. Joe T might have been boring, but he did the job. Just don’t let either of the Joes throw any outs, lets keep it to ins, slants, and deep rout jump balls. Mikey might want to hold on to the ball instead of celebrating early if he wants to keep that return job.

JT moved the chains. Nothing electric but he got things done. Matthew Stafford is amazing. his arm strength, poise, decision-making are all great. Cox just moved down the pecking order after today’s game. the only concern I have is the CBs. They didn’t look all that impressive to me. I expect SC to pick UGA apart in the passing game by getting rid of the ball very quickly. Still, I expect the Dawgs to squeak by in yet another UGA-USC matchup. Nothing different.

Joe T did a decent job, but Matthew Stafford is obviously the future. The defense is going to shut down a lot of people. I watched the South Carolina game…maybe some other year.

I don’t know how you quantify this, but the whole team seemed to just perk up when Stafford went in. It suddendly felt like a much different, stronger, confident team. Joe T III is a nice guy and a solid talent. Stafford is a super star.

Well, this was interesting game, clearly Joe T3 does not have pocket present to play in the SEC. Several times, he threw behind the receivers, stared down the receivers, pop gun arm, slow on reads and slow of feet. Joe Cox has potential to overtake Joe T3 until he threw the interception. I like his mobility but needs more playing time. Stafford remained me of a young John Elway, his mobility and arm strength were awesome. I am telling you now, we need to start him now. He has great touch on the ball, he threw the football 3/4 sideways a couple of times to hit the receivers. He will not at Georgia for 4 years. I am smelling something special in Stafford.

The receivers needs to step their games. Lot of speed with no hands. Receivers cannot caught the ball in traffic.

Running backs are going to be excellent. I would like to see more a combo Brown/Lumpkin or Lumpkin/Ware and Ware/Brown in same backfield.

The defense was good to today but several times DE had lost containment. Defensive tackles are young but dare good. The corners were good but needs to sellout all corner blitzes. LB’s are very agressive and they are going to be our strength. Safeties needs more playing time together. DC Martinez needs keep the defense to force the actions and be more aggressive throughtout the game.

Go Arkansas Razorback beat USC!!!! GO SEC too!!!!!!!!!

I can not wait for GA vs USC-GAYcocks— GO DAWGS!!!!!!

I must have seen a different game than everyone else. I thought JT3 looked good and directed the team quite well. Did anyone else happen to notice how may of his passes were dropped, including 3 in the end zone? I mean really, Martrez, where do you want the ball to hit you?! And the game seemed slow because it was Western Kentucky. Did you really expect an exciting game plan? Everyone wanted Stafford in the game so badly, of course he was super. You wanted him to be and you wanted JT3 to not excel. You see what you want. I wanted to see Tereshinski do well and I did. I wanted to see Cox and Stafford do well and I did, although Cox needs to be more heads up. Remember, he was “the future” last year and now he’s overworking just to ensure he gets playing time, much like Greene did with Shockley over his shoulder. I feel bad for Blake Barnes. His future was pretty much written with that game.

STOP BEING NICE TO JOE T. THE GUY IS JUST ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. YEAH, YEAH. SOME DROPPED PASSES BUT IT IS REALLY ABOUT WHAT YOUR EYES TOLD YOU. THE ISSUE IS NOT THAT THE OFFENSE WAS BORING WHEN HE WAS IN THERE IT WAS THAT THIS GUY JUST HAS ABSOLUTELY NO TALENT. IT HONESTLY LOOKS TO ME LIKE ALMOST HALF THE UNDERGRADS COULD GO OUT THERE AND DEMONSTRATE THE SAME ATHLETIC ABILITY AND ARM JOE T. DISPLAYS. THE GUY HAS TERRIBLE FOOTWORK AND ABSOLUTELY NO ARM. 7-17 AGAINST WESTERN FREAKING KENTUCKY?!?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? WHAT IS THE FELLOW GOING TO DO AGAINST SEC TEAMS? INT, INT, INT, INT IS WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO! HOW THIS GUY HAS BEEN PROVIDED TWO STARTS AT THIS HIGH LEVEL OF FOOTBALL IS BEYOND ME. AS MUCH AS I ABHOR QUOTING OLE KINKADE, JOHN KINKADE DID SAY 4 OR 5 YEARS AGO WHEN JOE T. SIGNED THAT JOE T. IS NOTHING BUT A LEGACY GUY WITH NO TALENT. BELUE DID NOT DISAGREE WITH HIM BACK THEN FROM WHAT I CAN RECALL. MARK RICHT SHOULD HAVE REMEMBERED THAT. JOE T. SHOULD NOT BE ON A DIV I-A ROSTER. HE COULD NOT EVEN START FOR WESTERN KENTUCKY. WHAT A JOKE. GIVE HIM BACK HIS CLIPBOARD AND KINDLY REMIND HIM THAT HE IS EXTREMELY LUCKY TO EVEN BE ABLE TO HOLD THAT CLIPBOARD BECAUSE HE WOULD NOT EVER EVEN BE ON A DIVISION I ROSTER IF HIS FATHER AND GRANDFATHER DID NOT PLAY FOR THE DAWGS.

STAFFORD LOOKED GREAT. LEAVE HIM IN THERE. LET US TAKE OUR LUMPS WITH HIM. NO ONE THOUGHT DAVID GREENE WOULD BE AS GOOD AS HE ENDED UP BEING ON DAY ONE BUT BY THE TENNESSEE GAME THAT FIRST OCTOBER IN 2001, THE TEAM WAS HIS FOR FOUR YEARS. DO THE SAME WITH STAFFORD. HOPEFULLY, THE RESULTS WILL BE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR OR EVEN FAR SUPERIOR.

I can’t believe anyone thought CMR would let JTIII show anything the “Old Ball Coach” could analyze for his defense. Let’s hope the “OBC” is more worried about Stafford coming in than defense against JTIII. There is no doubt where the future of the QB position is, but senior leadership is an intangible that is better left in the hands of CMR.

Hey SECexpert, let me have a look at that crystal ball. Is it the same one you used to pick the GAYTORS by 21 over the Cocks last year?

Joe T. has one major flaw; his delivery is just too low. He had a couple of passes tipped today. Joe T. may stand 6-2 or 6-3 but he throws 5-9. Joe Cox did very well but Stafford was the best QB on the field today. Richt, give Stafford the ball and tell JoeTIII that he is a Damned Good DAWG because he is just that!

Your caps lock got stuck. It’s not louder, just more annoying.

And no, the team WAS NOT Greene’s until Shockley got hurt and then hurt again. And even then he was removed from the game to make way for the younger stud, regardless of what was going on. But that is the past.

I like Stafford and see him heading the team in the future, probably not too far in the future but, as I said, JT3 did well in leading the team. And do you really think Richt would start a guy just because of his name? Don’t be a moron.

It was awesome to see the Bulldogs in action again in an important tune up game against W. Kentucky.

Tereshinski played real well and he would have been helped more if some catches were made for him. Most of his passes were placed right, but they definitely lacked some zip. The O-line hung in there good enough, and the running game looks like it is just warming up to roll this year.

The TE’s and some of the receivers may need some more practice to get rid of the gator arms. Henderson, and hopefully the rest of the team, may have learned something from his mistake. It will be interesting to see him at flanker after he ran so well on the punt returns. MH got some great blocking both times too. Durham had some excellent receptions at wideout, and it would be great to see more of him.

Joe Cox actually looked better than JT3 with better poise and decision making until he threw the high, deep pick into double coverage. Cox also did a better job than JT3 at not staring down his receivers when he attemted to pass. JC and JT3 definitely played better than the Spring game, but they may not see much playing time again after Stafford played such a fantastic game.

As much as Cox and JT3 displayed good presence and leadership on the field, Stafford impressed me more so. He had some great reads of the defense and checked off well to secondary receivers. His excellent performance will be hard for Coach Richt to overlook. It looks like we will see a lot of play from Matthew Stafford this year. I am pleasantly surprised.

The special teams were great, but the Dog’s Defense was awesome. Moses and Johnson at DE along with the rest of the D-line were incredible. The defense is just plain mad. Wait until they get perturbed. The LB’s looked good. The secondary may need some more tweaking with some of the zone coverage, but the power of this D is going to come from up front, very quickly.

Georgia really benefited from this game because Coach Richt was able to play a lot of his players. From what I saw, the Bulldogs are looking fast, mad, and hungry for who ever is N-E-X-T. One at a time, folks. Gooo Dogs!!!

I have to agree, Dawg 87. The caps were really annoying. Your assessment of the greene/dj situation is only somewhat accurate. Playing DJ in those odd situations (FLA game and so on) was more about placating DJ and DJ’s father than about Richt trying to hand DJ the keys to the dawgdom. Of course, if DJ had played better and not so erratic in the situations presented to him, who knows, maybe Richt would have given DJ those keys. But the reality as it played itself out was that Greene did take that team over with the verron pass and never thereafter did anything to lose it to DJ and never allowed DJ to take it from him. So, it was in fact his team thereafter to lose and he never let DJ take it from him. DJ of course was much better and the Dawgs and Richt may have already had a national championship if DJ had started all 4 years. But we’ll never know.

You never did explain however why you believe JT3 as you affectionatley call him got the start? You should have explained that before you threw the moron label out there.

Hey Altamaha, where you at?

I said Joe T’s arm was weak (he bounced a 15 yard out). I said his arm had no zip to it. His passes came out so slow, that if he were to play against SC’s defense, they’ll be picked off.

Stafford on the other hand. He has a strong arm. He has poise in the pocket. And he was throwing lasers!

And for you idiots who called him fat… he had a hell of a 19 yard run.

And Martrez Milner: Son, sit your butt on the bench and let Coleman and Ward move up the chart. You’re done.

Dawgs can only beat SC with Stafford playing. Joe T cannot, and will not beat SC. And I defy anyone who says otherwise.

My observations: 1)JT must have some kind of vision disorder. Did you see him constantly squinting at the sidelines? Was the sun in his eyes? And he threw behind his receivers about 50% of the time. Take him to Lens Crafters and get him contacts. 2)How many balls were dropped? Too many. 3) D Geedman looked like Fred Gibson…catch and fall to the ground 4) Flowers may have lost his job 5) Dewberry is as good as they say and Weston isn’t 6(playing in Columbia at night against Spurrier will be tough

What in the good-golly hell is an Ohio State fan doing in here? Shouldn’t you be busy managing the Escalade motor pool for your players?

I don’t know how much to really take from this game from a Georgia perspective. Seven of 17 for 90 yards isn’t anything to get excited about, but I think that was less JoeT3 and more our receivers continuing their infuriating habit of not being able to get their hands around anything. Martrez Milner’s hook is probably even shorter than Mikey Henderson’s right about now. As for Stafford, he looked good, but I can’t help but remember sitting in the stands for the Georgia-Clemson game in ‘02 and, after Shockley ran about 10 yards for his first-ever college TD, hearing the guy behind me yell “THERE’S your starting quarterback!” — in spite of the fact that Shockley hadn’t actually completed a pass yet.

I think it’s still way too early to be calling Stafford our ‘06 starter. Who knows. I just hope we don’t get dragged into a consult-the-magic-8-Ball-before-every-game QB situation like the one Tennessee stumbled through last year.

Let the legend begin. There was a phenom qb named Peyton Manning that took over for Todd Helton in the 90’s and never looked back.

Check Carter’s blog 2 days ago I said that Stafford would play in this game when everyone was still thinking red-shirt. He is way too talented!

Lump and Ware ran with authority today and they have to get the ball to MoMass.

Tenn. is showing up Cal. Many on the blogs have called me crazy for saying watch out for Tenn. this year. 28-0 in the third against a team some say could go to BCS game.

Let’s hope that Ark. can beat USC and show the world what the SEC is all about.

Are all you bloggers quarterback experts/groupies with an unlimited knowledge of offensive fooball? There is some mention of defense in this blog; but it appears nobody gives it the priority it deserves. Defense IS the number one priority for any football program. My main concern is for coach Willie Martinez to have his defensive charges ready for every game. I think he was outcoached a few times last year. It is imperative for the Dawgs to stay healthy on defense and be prepared to be the winning difference in every game.

Some of you guys are so in love with Stafford that you can’t see anything with an objective eye.

JT3 did pretty well. He was plagued by the never ending problem of dropped passes. He had at least 3 - one of them in the endzone by Martrez (I’d be alright if he never played another down.) We have a good enough team that JT3 could lead us to the Sugar Bowl again.

Alot of you guys are defending Cox on here, but the guy threw 3 passes, one for an INT. I think the 4th quarter showed what the coaches think of Cox.

And Stafford looked pretty good (except for the fact that his first couple of deep balls weren’t even close). But let’s be honest, Stafford was playing against the 2nd and 3rd string of a division 1-AA team. that’s nothing to write home about.

What this game showed me is that UGA has a hell of alot of work to do. Our run game was mediocre. The second half (other than Ware’s long run) we looked awful. Our defense played great for the first half - then looked average the second half.

And holy crap, how in the world are we still dropping so many damn passes? I just about punched a whole in the screen after Milner’s drop.

One big highlight for me: Stafford to Durham. Betcha we see that about a million times in the next few years!

I disagree with socaldawg on the running game. T. Brown didn’t look so sharp but Ware and Lump ran with authority.

Coach Richt wanted to pass and get some reps for the qb’s. He wanted to see what Joe Cox and Stafford would do with a full stadium and the tv on. Staff showed his stuff and I hope he goes to number 2.

OK, Conyers, I’ll agree that Ware looked really good and Lump looked pretty good. But Brown didn’t look too good. And our O-line didn’t exactly push that Div 1-AA defense around. That’s all I’m saying.

And Bird, I just think you’re so down on JT that you can’t see the bigger picture. JT is an adequate QB and we can win our first 4 games with him. We have a solid team that can win because JT won’t make mistakes, we’ll score enough, and our D is gonna be awesome. By then Stafford will be ready and we have every shot at being back in the SECCG.

BUT STILL, will somebody back me up here and acknowledge that the biggest problem we’ve got is the same thing that killed us last year: DROPPED PASSES!!

Holy crap - how many balls did we drop today. JT had a bunch dropped. And Stafford even had one dropped. If those guys can’t catch JT’s lobs, what do they need?

It doesn’t matter whose throwing it if our receivers can’t figure out what to do once the ball gets to them.

Overall, i think it was a good first game. It showed us what we need to work on and got alot of guys some playing time.

Stafford to Durham: a sign of things to come.

Did anyone else see Joe Cox’s hands shaking on his first play? If he’s scared of WKU, what is he going to do with SEC teams? See ya Cox, go ahead and transfer now, and take Barnes with ya. Barnes must have flunked the pre-game test.
If our defense plays well, then we have four games to figure out if Stafford can take over until the Tennessee game. I expect the season starter to be announced before the MISS game. Joe T isn’t bad, but he just lacks something. He does manage the game fairly well, but he doesn’t quite have the arm to beat the elite teams.
The Defense should do the job next week. We beat SC, we get three games to cruise and get the depth charts worked out before Tenn.
This game wasn’t a real test, but I like the fact that we dominated. It could have easily been 84-0 if Richt hadn’t emptied the benches. Saw a lot of frosh out there, made me feel good to see them gettin’ some. Some of those touted (Asher Allen, Prince Miller) secondary players are not ready yet. Good thing we’re deep there. The LB looked good though. Should be a fun season this year!

Oh yeah, one more thing… EVERYBODY has dropped passes. I’ve seen about 6 games today and there were drops in all of them. Not too many as bad as Milner though. That was probably the worst I’ve seen today. He’ll be riding pine unless he blocks 10X better than the other TEs. Who cares what you do in practice, you better bring your good hands to the games!!

Stafford played extremely well today. All preseason, I was skpetical, but he proved me wrong. However, I realized he was zipping those passes against WKU backups at home with a 4 TD lead. I dont think he can handle the pressure in front of 81,000 hostile fans next week. Joe T was decent but not spectacular. He’s menatlly more ready than Stafford though, and part of his problem today was the poor play of the recievers. We have to start catching the ball.

He wasn’t playing against their back-ups.

It was the same players Joe T played against.

Makes Joe T look even more unimpressive, doesn’t it, that a true freshman looked at least as good in his decision making as him, and definately looked better throwing the ball around.

No, they weren’t the backups, but they were visibly tired on only a moderately (by GA standards) day and were exhausted by halftime. I’m not impressed by garbage time touchdown passes and drives as we had clearly worn out their players. It seemed as if our QB’s improved as the game went along, Joe C looking better than Joe T, Matt looking better than Joe C. Either Richt has the entire depth chart upside down, or the weather, scoreboard and running was taking a toll on the WKU players. Matt’s last 2 passes probably would have been batted down or worse picked off against a faster, better conditioned secondary. Both passes were into moderately tight double coverage with a narrow windows. Arm strength to sling it in there, yes, but he needs the presence to know he shouldn’t always try. Maybe switching the order next week in Columbia would be a wise idea. If Matt handles the pressure, something David Greene himself always seemed to struggle with against SC, I think any controversy will be over. I am not however willing to annoint Matt the status of Herschel Walker in a QB body just yet. Let him prove himself against quality competition (and by that I am stretching to include SC who does not at this moment look to be “quality” competition).

Q-Dawg, you and others are saying that SC isn’t quality competition so I must have watched another ball game Thur. night. If you are right then nows the time to make the switch and go with the future. Of course I couldn’t see the game but Stafford must have impressed some people including sports reporters. He earned the right to get in there and play(see MR quotes). Kept working, kept his attitude up and must have been determined to show the coaches that they were wrong. THESE ATRIBUTES ARE THE SIGNS OF A LEADER! i DON’T THINK WE’VE SEEN THIS TYPE OF TALENT SINCE MR HAS BEEN AT GA…..Play’m, ride with his learning mistakes, be bold and go for the brass ring because it’s time to quite playing it safe. He’ll be just fine.

By Q-Dawg

I agree, he earned the right to play as a 3rd string quarterback in the later stages of the game with a safe 20+ point lead. Lets not confuse playing time with confidence to finish off a rout with the confidence to lead us next week into Columbia. Personally, I think Matt should start in Columbia, as I said in my previous posting, where I referred to switching the order, as in starting our 3rd sting QB first. The only way to properly evaluate his talents is on a big stage in front of TV and hostile fans with a fresh team staring back at him across the line. You HAD to have watched another ball game Thursday night than the rest of the nation…, to quote the sportswriters who were “impressed” with Stafford… “Mississippi State’s defense rattled South Carolina from the opening play” and “Without the high-powered offense he’s used to, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier resorted to trickery to earn his 150th career victory.” and “Our offense was worse than I expected” from the old ball coach himself. Apparently you watched a different game than Spurrier and the writers saw. I think Stafford will probably work his way to starter soon enough, burning his redshirt wasn’t much use if he doesn’t play significantly this year, at least as the backup. By the way, the attributes of a TEAM player is work hard, accept your role and push your teammates. Attributes which can be seen in Joe T as well as Matt Stafford. What other top 10 rated QB would seek out duty on the punt team? That said, I still say we should start Stafford. If he gets in trouble, he can be comfortable in the knowledge he has capable backups who can lead the team in their own ways in Joe T and Joe C.

Oh, another thing… until Stafford shows the goods against the likes of Tennessee and Auburn, David Greene, is still the best talent we have seen at Georgia under Coach Richt. Stafford has a long way to go to equal the success Greene had. Western Kentucky is only a start, hardly a career.

Jeff ,

Learn how to spell. Is that “argument” original enough for you. Every opponent comes into the stadium to win. During the course of the game, someone has to impose their will on the other. The Dawgs seem to have the killer instinct this year. It’s the Vince Dooley formula. Junkyard ‘D’, Power running backs, and a Q-back that doesn’t make mistakes. I don’t think that the Dawgs care about any of our “opinions” this year. They are going to be just fine.

Many of you are overly concerned with the QB position. If a great quaterback guaranteed success then FLA would have wont the SEC title the past 3 years and we would have won the SEC 91-94. But the formula to success in the SEC is and will always be great scoring defense and a solid running game. If we can run effectively on SC and play solid D it will be no contest. Yes, we need to be balanced and keep SC’s D honest, but we need to be able to make 3rd and short automatically without going into the shotgun. We have more talent on our bench than what SC will put on the field. There is no reason to be intimidated by Spurrier, he lives off of his reputation, but that shouldn’t be enough to beat GA. Defense wins Championships. GO DAWGS

Play Matthew Stafford! Based on Saturday’s performance he gives Georgia the best chance to win! I would rather lose a game in his growing process than try to win one with the other quarterback candidates where we are sure to lose. Since this is supposed to be a “down” year for Georgia anyway why not give him the experience he needs for the coming years?

In my opinion, I don’t care who is running the offense the dropped passes are becoming something to expect. I really don’t want this to become a annual problem. Its almost like Fred Gibson put a spell on the receiving core.

O-line,with who they have, did just OK. I truly only felt comfortable with the 1st team defense.

HAHA, AS you stated good luck with SC, Tenn.,Auburn, Florida and Tech we play good teams every year and do not have to leave the south east. Thats because 90% of the better teams in the country are from the south. Therfore you contradicted yourself with your LAME STATEMENT. As for your team USC they probably will be better now that they have visor tosser for a coach. It is about time as they have been one of the SEC punching bags for many years and gave the best confrence in the NCAA a slight blemish for our chances to be ranked higher in the polls. I am glad they are going to be better as I want all the teams in our confrence to be competitive which will result in higher rankings for the schools in our confrence. However as of yet they havent done anything such as an SEC division title or Confrence championship so until they do stay on your chicken blog and leave you stupid comments out of ours. HA HA HA HA!

90% of the good teams do not reside in the south. If UGA ever wants to be taken seriously, then they are going to need to dare to venture outside the friendly confines of the hedges to play real teams. otherwise, national championships are going to repeatedly be out of their grasp. but then again, that is probably fine with UGA fans since they only pathetically aspire to win SEC championships. the rest of the country does not even know UGA exists. Trust me. If you have ever lived anywhere else, you will realize that no one outside Georgia talks about UGA. It is a shame. It has the potential to be a great program. Great town, devoted fans and alumni, sold out stadiums with some of the most unbelievable talent (look at the Pro Bowl rosters and the rosters of perennial super bowl contenders steelers and patriots and you will see that UGA should be far superior than what they have been over the last five to ten years). UGA never wins anything despite all of the ridiculous amount of Pro Bowl talent recruited to their school and the undying devotion of their blind loyalist fans. And spare me the SEC championship nonsense. SEC championships are nothing to boast about. National championships and playing in the BCS championship game are more worthy of striving for and boasting about. But, then again, this is the town tha boasts about the Braves winning 14 consecutive division titles with only one World Series. Pathetic. It is also disturbing that everyone says 14 straight even though they were not in first at the end of 1994. They gave out mvps, cy youngs, and rookie of the years that year so braves fans can not claim that year does not count. We have seen that Richt can have just a tad bit more success with donnan’s recruits than donnan had. Let’s see what richt can do with his own recruits. Based upon what everyone on here is saying, he clearly can not recruit a wide receiver or tight end who can catch a pass. they would not have looked so horrible last year in the florida disaster if richt had recruited someone to be an adequate backup instead of relying on the talentless, special teams playing legacy boy Joe T. 3. richt also seems incapable of recruiting a bona fide RB who can consistently pound out 100 yards a game despite everyone acting like we have the modern day four horseman in the backfield. And then you have all of his clock mismangement issues and various other problems with his coaching decisions. Maybe CMR needs to be placed on the firing line and Mr. Adams needs to look to bring in someone with bigger and better aspirations for the school and who can actually combine recruiting prowess with good coaching decisions. Six years into his tenure and JT3 is the starter. That should raise substantial questions about CMR for all of you on many levels.

USA needs to take heed of the way TN controled the # 9 rated team last night.

Last year was a result of their past QB/RB by committee system that caught up with them.

We looked good yesterday but who did we play and look at the situation we are in as still there is no clearcut answer to the QB question.

All three QB’s looked good in their own right as each brings something different to the table. It may be that Barnes will wind-up as the 4th man out and will transfer. Wasn’t he rated the 9th best QB when he committed to GA and Cox was the 7th.

Cox threw a pick but also looked good on the two completions he made. Stafford looked good as he was expected to but again not taking anything from him, but it was the third quarter against a tired division two team. He has been compared to Elway, go back and look a Johnny boy’s rookie year in the NFL and see the beating he took.

Dropped balls would be my main concern, This has always been a problem for all the QBs at UGA and for CMR. It seems to me that most of the balls are thrown too or behind the receiver and not thrown to lead the reciever to run under or to the ball.

I still would like to see two or more of the backs in the backfield at the same time. If we get into a game where the qb isn’t getting protection load the backfield with Williams and Southerland to block and one of the other three backs to either run the ball or be a receiver. We lost to FL last year, not because of Joe T, but because they kept two backs in to protect CL.

I have the UGA WKU game on tivo. There was one legit drop. Martrez Milner. Demiko Goodman had the ball pop out when he hit the ground. AJ Bryant’s pass was underthrown and deflected. Kenneth Harris had one pass thrown late and behind him, and on the other the defender made a great play. So lay of the WRs.

To you people who say it just W. Ken. then you should know that some people can make observations based on what they see not who they play. It’s called an eye for talent. Most Div. 1 prospect are scouted when playing against lesser competition.

Bravo Kenny D, bravo! Of course you’re going to get the same old tired response that GA plays in the tough SEC so they don’t have to venture out of the South to play anyone else. Oh now you recognize GA Tech as big time competition. By the time you see them in November every year, they’re far out of the top 25. The only reason you consider South Carolina to be a tough game is because Spurrier owns you anyway. Any other game and SC is mediocre. Over half of the SEC teams suck just like most other conferences. You’re right, nobody else outside of this state doesn’t mention GA in the same breath as Texas, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, USC, etc. Hell, people here are still living off the Herschel Walker days and are just perfectly content winning the SEC and calling it a season. I never even had any negative feelings towards UGA until I moved here and had to put up with their mentally challenged fans telling me that my team and college, Ohio State sucks. Yeah okay, that’s like saying the Steelers five Super Bowl rings are a fluke. I never hear a much deeper arguement besides us sucking and the Big 10 blows. What can you expect from a state that probably learned how to spell Tereshinski before it could add 1+1.

This is how it went:

When Joe T was in the game, WKU brought 8 men into the box, and sometimes even 9 men because they knew they didn’t have to respect Joe T as a QB.

Because they did this, Brown couldn’t run the ball.

Hmmm… I told y’all so.

But when Stafford came in, they pulled out into coverage, and still, he completely 3 out of 5 passes by squeezing them into the smallest of spaces with lasers (just like Elway used to be able to do).

And even better, because there wasn’t extra men in box, the running game opened up, and Ware had a 42 yard TD run.

All because Stafford, not Joe T, was in the game.

Hmmm… once again, I told y’all so.

Defenses have to respect Stafford’s ability to actually throw the ball. If a 1AA doesn’t respect Joe T, then what will happen against an SEC defense?

Y’all who are throwing your weight behind Joe T are looking dumber and dumber every day.

Everything happened the way I said it would. Joe T got no respect from the defense, and our excellent running back, Brown, was bottled uo because of Joe T’s lack of talent.

When Stafford’s in the game, he has the defense’s respect, and this opens up our running game.

Joe T is finished. And Coach will realize it during the SC game.

Dawgs Beat 1AA Powerhouse but will struggle against SC, TN, FL, AUB, and GT.

First time between the hedges and then went to Tech to watch a great game. I hate to say this - Tech is better than I thought. My Irish are a little overrated - but dominated the second half….good game to build on.

Totally impressed with UGA, the stadium and all the RED. Incredible quantity of beautiful women. We feed them more starch in upper mid west for the upcoming winter!

With the exception of only a few teams - way too much parity out there. So. Cal and Ohio State are for real. Texas may also be real for real - after that, there are a boatload of teams out there that could beat each other up on any given night.

What sets the SEC apart is that they have at least 5-6 teams every year that in the mix. Most other conferences have 3-5 teams that could be legit top 20.

The dogs will feel the heat this year…you guys have problems on offense:

1.OL was not impressive. 2. QB is a down year as Joe T. would not be starting for many teams out there…but you have excellent young depth that needs to develop. The Stafford kid should be playing..he is your future and the future in now.
3. WR and TE are very athletic - but can not catch a ball unless it is a perfect throw with nobody covering. Get in there face or do some bumping….and in more likely hood - the ball is dropped. 4. RB’s are absolutely insane. Just incredible. But great RB’s will be held in check due to OL issues.

Your defense is fast but is also young. This will show this year as they will be schooled by Spurrier, TN, FL, AUB and GT game will be a war! 1. Defensive Line is strong and looks real quick - but lacks depth. 2. LB’s are weak this year with the exception of #12. But they are young? 3. Secondary is athletic..but will get torched this year.

Very young back there.

All in all - Dawgs look to be building for 2007 and 2008.

Be happy with your win over Western KY - but be prepared for this team to lose some games this year.

Go Irish - predict 10-2 with BCS Bid. Dawgs go 7-5 - maybe 8-4. Enjoy the peach bowl and hope that West Virgina is not available for a re-match.

Irish Whiskey, thanks so much for your breakdown of the Dawgs. Sounds like you’ve been listening to Lee Corso too much. I’m going to keep this short & sweet. GA would beat Notre Dame anywhere, any place. If any team is overrated, it is Notre Dame. I was actually pulling for GA Tech last night, and I hate GA Tech. I would have loved to have seen The Geeks beat The Irish. GA Tech almost won, and GA has beaten Tech the last 5 years. First off, Brady Quinn is not as good as people think, and Notre Dame’s offensive line would get whipped if they played a decent SEC team. I’m so sick of hearing about Notre Dame I could puke! Have your beloved Irish come play in the SEC, and they’ll find out what real f’ball is all about. I pray that UGA plays Notre Dame is a bowl game sometime soon. BTW, regarding your WVU comment…. WVU would have destroyed Notre Dame last year, and you’re lucky that you didn’t play them. Also, that whole NBC contract with Notre Dame is absurd. Like folks down here in God’s country really care or want to see Notre Dame play week in & week out….Gimme a break!
