We all knew coming into this season that this year would be a building season. Today we found that one freshman is not yet ready to be a starting SEC quarterback. Luckily we have enough talent to have a backup come in and bail us out. But really our play calling today was absolutely awful……………

As a former UGA student myself, I know and trust both Georgia’s offense and defense … all the dropped passes and penalties were unacceptable. I too think they took colorado for a joke in the beginning however soon came to realize that they came ready to play. Despite the outcome, Georgia played horrible, but still is a much better football team.

I didn’t get to see the game, but it sounds as if we have sort of a QB controversy? It ought to be even more interesting come two weeks when JTIII is back for Tennessee. What do ya think Dawg Nation?

P.S. Let’s not be so quick to jump on Joe Cox’s bandwagon…. There is a reason why he is has been a backup all year. Granted, it seems clear he can play, but is he the “best QB” to lead our team. In other words, personally, I think Joe Cox is out for himself, more than he is out there for the team. Let me know what you think about that too….

Coach Martinez has been outcoached 3 times now: 1) 2005 vs. Florida 2) 2005 Sugar Bowl 3) Today

He wasn’t ready for good Colorado players to begin to understand their new coach’s system. And this coach had last year to go by in facing our defense.

Our play calling was poor as well, and Stafford should have been taken out ( if only for a little while ) much earlier. It was obvious that he was frustrated after the first couple of offensive series.

And, our players seemed to be very flat coming out, even the defense.

Joe cox should be the starter next week and coach richt will regret not redshirting stafford. Coming into this season I thought Cox had a great chance to be the starter anyway because the coaches talked him up last year in practice. People don’t need to forget that cox was a top 10 QB himself coming out of high school where he led his team to multiple state championships. Maybe he was just pressing to hard this year to impress the coaches was the reason for his poor decision making. Today the young man showed why he was a top recruit coming out of NC when he made a perfect pass to milner that won us the game. Forget what happens in practice this week and play the guy who showed the most in game situations- COX.

Hey guys… the running game suffered in the first half because our QBs did exactly what they are supposed to do. When they put 8 in there, you AUDIBLE to the hot routes… which we dropped like a rock. We had 2 turnovers that stopped drives in the second half. Sure, we had some dumb calls, but that is alot because of FRESHMAN QBs…. who knows when they check into a bad play. We won, And that my friends is all that matters. And as for Joe Cox, I don’t give a rats about what goes on in practice… give me the guys that perform in the games. He actually throws a ball that the receivers can catch. Stafford throws missles that Superman could not catch. Stafford is better but not until he understands how to take some heat off his throws.

I got in at the 3rd quarter from being at the baseball fields and could not belive the score or that Lumpkin had only 1 carry.

Lumpkin showed why he was the number 2 RB in the country with his hard fliud running. He should be the starter PERIOD!

Stafford has to quite showing off the arm and put some touch on it.

I usually don’t get to criticle about the coaching staff, but we need to blitx more and we had very questionable calling.

I HATE THAT DUMB RUNNING PLAY WITH THE RB STANDING TO THE SIDE! i KNEW HE WAS GOING TO RUN THAT STUPID PLAY THAT LOST US YARDAGE.

I’m glad I didn’t make it to the game. I would have had a heart attack.

So everyone thinks that UGA is in a world of trouble… Almost every top ten team has a game where they struggle against an obviouslly inferior opponent. Today we got outcoached.. badly. But luckily we were talented enough to pull the game out and get a much needed win. That being said UGA football is not in any trouble at all. Even if we go 9-3 this year, which is very feasible we still pull out a good bowl game on a season we’re we basically have 3 quarterbacks that started the season with one start b/w the three of them. It’s obvious that our defense is going to be the key when we play in the SEC, we might lose to Florida and Auburn, and maybe another loss inbetween there but i’ll take 9-3 any year. The fact being said UGA has the talent to be good for many years to come. While this year won’t bring us a national title, somewhere down the next three years we’ll we be upthere in that title hunt.

That was one of the worst, if not the worst, complete breakdown by a Richt coached team. Also, one of the worst coaching jobs by Richt and his staff. Cox is definitely the starter. No controvery what-so-ever. I expect Richt to announce that in the post game.

As bad as it was… Every team, has a game like that. USC had one last year with Fresno. Florida in Starkville. The great teams win those games. We used to lose those games, remember? Cox and Lumpkin deserve to start in Oxford. Can Richt please stop running that stupid inside draw from the shotgun formation???! It never gains yards inside the 25 and it is sooooooooooooooooo predictable. Florida is going to be ugly if we can’t stop that underneath crossing routes. I thought we were back in the Sugar Bowl getting used again.

Hey dawg fans at least we can nitpick after winning a game. There should be a lot of criticism for everyone-and there will be. However, let’s give credit to everyone too for not giving up and coming back. Richt has a lot of haters-why I’ll never know- but UGA doesn’t win this game under the Goff or Donnan era. We may be overrated, but maybe all the bad talk about them this week will motivate them to never play like this again. All that being said, this game’s over, and the dawgs got the only stat that matters- a W.

Lumpkin is also the unquestioned best RB that we have. His one run in the first half was hard. When they gave him the ball in the second half he proved he was the man.

By Joe

September 23, 2006 04:31 PM | Link to this

The Georgia offensive game plan was obvious to everyone especially the Colorado coaches and defense and that was to run a reduced risk offensive scheme of running the ball and passing only when they had to do so. That enabled them to stack the interior to take away the running game and then sit back on third down and wait for a pass when Georgia was third down and long yardage.

Only in the 4 th quarter did Georgia change it’s offensive scheme, then they had no choice but to throw the ball and even then, they threw conservative pass routes until the winning touchdown pass. This kind of conservative play calling is going to get Georgia beat when they play the good SEC teams. Yes, we have young quarterbacks, but Georgia has to open up it’s offensive playbook and try to win rather than playing to reduce mistakes and maybe still win.

Mark Richt needs to bring in a talented offensive coordinator ASAP to relief him of some of the extensive offensive play calling if he expects to continue winning in the SEC.

Burn the game film on this one. Team not ready to play; fans as quite as a funeral crowd.

Sometimes you just gotta pull out a win, but I did not expect it to be against CU (at least not the way they had played).

If CU knew how to win games (they have lost 8 in a row), they would have won this won.

The UGA receivers have got to catch the football; they still are dropping a lot of passes.

Stick with one running back. If you have more than 1 then you have none is true for a reason. Sheepishly taking the win and wondering if Cox to Milner is Cox’s Verron Hayes from David Greene moment?

Dang! You think Martinez would have the option figured out a little by now…. The game looked a lot like the WVU game. Luckily CO isn’t as good. Option teams do give Martinez trouble. I suspect we’ll be seeing a lot more teams try it. Luckily, TN or AUB can’t run it. FL may try it with Leak, but you hit him hard and he’ll lose it. Ah, I’m not worried too much about the game. I don’t think anyone else will give us this much trouble, except maybe Tech. I think Kenneth Harris should be starting. The kid always seems to make his catches. Momass and Durham are too iffy. Looks like our receivers have Alfred Jenkins syndrome (remember him?). Dude couldn’t catch glue if you threw it right to him, but he could make some of the most spectacular catches that were way out of reach. Maybe Stafford was throwing TOO accurately.

The Buffs whipped our a$$ all over our beloved stadium. Gotta give them credit. They came to play, we came to show up. My personal opinion, glad we won, Buffs deserved the win. We suqued, on all sides.

Stafford, love him, mean it, is not ready for prime time. I was sitting in my EZ boy at five minutes in the second quarter wishing Joe T would throw away the crutches and play some ball.

I still think Stafford is the future, but untill we get there, I start Joe Four, uhh Cox. He played the game of his life and it is his job now to lose.

Georgia should discontinue using it, take a page from the Auburn & LSU game, no quarterback had more than 3 seconds to throw. Lumpkin needs to start, but Brown is a better practice player.

Given the team success in the Richt era it still amazes me how any fan can be crticial of the coach or his staff. I’m just thankful it wasn’t an SEC team at this point because if we played this way in an SEC game surely it would be a loss. The O-line was clearly porous and I praise the Defense for allowing a comback. Cox was terrific and took advantage of his opportunity, but who the starter should be and who deserves playing time is clearly up to the coach and his excellent staff who see them perform every day in practice. I must say thought that competition will bring out the best in Cox and Stafford.

stafford needs to learn to put a little touch on the ball, he did not play a bad game. receiver dropped 5 or 6 balls that hit them in the hands and bounced off mm numbers.we had 2 turn overs and he was under pressure the whole game.

yet somehow every ball cox put up the receivers somehow managed to come down with. he will start against ole miss and deservidly so , but now what happens when joet3 comes back.does stafford play next week since he did not play that bad.

GA looked awful. Penalties, time management disasters, fumbles. But even though the team took CO waaaay too lightly the Dawgs did what good teams and well-coached teams do: they pulled it together and got the “W”.

If we hadn’t blocked that kick in the 1st quarter … . whew

Consider the bullet dodged. But TN, FLA & AU look like the Matterhorn to me until we pull together.

Joe T. III will not play for at least 2 more weeks. Cox earned the start for next week, but Stafford will get time, too. For Stafford to succeed, he’s got to have receivers that had hold the missles he’s firing. Cox will throw more interceptions (as he nearly did in the end zone today) because he “lobs” the ball. Stafford throws like an NFL QB - he launches it.

And, please get a life, dawg-hater! I hate FLA but would never ever waste my time to go onto one of the FLA blogs to crap on its team. What a waste.

GA looked awful. Penalties, time management disasters, fumbles. But even though the team took CO waaaay too lightly the Dawgs did what good teams and well-coached teams do: they pulled it together and got the “W”.

If we hadn’t blocked that kick in the 1st quarter … . whew

i am so confused after this game, just when i think mr is the best coach in the country he almost gives one away on bonehead calls.

stafford needs to learn to put a little touch on the ball, he did not play a bad game. receiver dropped 5 or 6 balls that hit them in the hands and bounced off mm numbers.we had 2 turn overs and he was under pressure the whole game.

yet somehow every ball cox put up the receivers somehow managed to come down with. he will start against ole miss and deservidly so , but now what happens when joet3 comes back.does stafford play next week since he did not play that bad.

UGA need to seriously take a look at the Defensive scheme. With a qb that does not threaten us downfield, why were we so deep off of the ball. Also is it just me or did we look hesitant on a bunch of plays. Glad we won but WM or the defensive scheme has to go. GO DAWGS!!!

Basically,CU ran only four plays all day. QB Draw, circle route to TE, QB options to RB and Bootleg run or throw and GA defense could not stop these plays until 4th Qrtr. These were the same plays that WVA ran against GA in the Sugar Bowl. What the hell is going with DC Martinez. This is total bullsh..t!!! WE ARE GOING TO SEE THESE SAME PLAYS ALL YEAR.

Great job on Coach Richt on pitching change. HC open up the playbook for Joe Cox,(Great Call) and I thought that was our key to victory. Also, kudos to Lumpkin, Milner and especially Joe Cox for studying his playbook.

This game had issues like play calling, however when you have young QB’s making decisions at the line, there will be bad plays. Everyone knew growing pains would abound this year…we escaped so let’s move on and support the entire team. Richt is a great coach and we need to stay behind him.

The DAWGS won and that is what matters, sure there were some bad calls as well as some over confident players on the field but in the end they pulled it off. I think it was a major wake up call for the players as well as the coaching staff and they will both be better prepared the rest of the season. Now for all you DAWG haters. Seeing as how no one else would address your ignorant comments I guess I will but with some questions for you. Is the team you pull for undefeated this year as the DAWGS are? Have they won thier confrence championship in the last 10 years? Have they defeated the DAWGS in the last 3 years? Are most of the students at your school even Americans that know what football is? Do people come on your blog and spout off at the mouth except when thier team is about to play yours? If you cant answer yes to all of the abouve questions please get off this blog or you will continue to make an a$$ of yourself. GO DAWGS SICEM WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!

The jealousy running through the Jacket Nation is laughable. The schedule that Tech plays only is rivaled by the schedule that the local high school plays. With all those women’s schools from top to bottom in the ACC it is a wonder that more teams don’t schedule the ACC teams for homecoming. The SEC on the other hand dominates the current polls. I think five teams in the top 15. One from the ACC (Always Crappy Conference)…… Give me a break …. the Dawg Nation would wipe the floor with those pansies from the ghetto. Face it, all you got left is employment at the Varsity after your football careers are over. Tech is just a p**-poor excuse of a college.

The haters are coming out of the woodwork today, as usual. Brad has it right in his post below. If you are a UGA fan be happy with what we have had instead of being a fair weather fan…

And to you Techies, at least you have something to cheer for, even if it is for us to lose, with your lackluster bunch of Seniors. Again, as a Georgian, it is sad to see your stadium so empty on national T.V. That is sadder than what happened to us today in a sold out Sanford Stadium. And we still won! Go DAWGS!

I’ve felt kind of bad for Cox throughout this whole thing, but you guys that are ripping Stafford need to get over it. Let these two share time for a while and see what happens. The main thing is that we need to stop splitting time at the RB spot. Lumpking needs to play while Ware gives him a break. I just keep wishing we had this schedule last year or the year before!

First of all, I am a girl (I can prove it if you like), but it just happens that I am very passionate about football. I call my husband a football widower. Second, I watched the game b/c there was nothing else on that I was interested in, fully expecting to turn the channel by halftime. Third my world does not revolve around UGA, it revolves around all College Football as I can probably tell you more about UGA football than most of your dumb so called fans. Fourth, I post on both the GT and the UGA boards and I see UGA posters talking trash on the Tech board so don’t you dare say that I don’t have the right to come over after a very tough win and voice my opinion. Fifth, you know GT has the talent to beat you in Athens this year. Whether we will or not remains to be seen (you do have our number, I will give you that…and probably a better coach, so stop complaining about him). The truth hurts sometimes! Get over it!

Great win. But an awful game. My favorite thing about this game is that it showed that BIRDDAWG knows exactly JACKSH*T about football. I could recall about 100 quotes from B-Dawg that this game completely disproved, but #1 would be how nobody but Stafford could come in with us down in the 4th and lead us back to a win.

I think Conyers Dawg hit the nail on the head - the sprint draw (4th quarter, 4th down run that lost yards) is the worst play in college football and we run it 75% of our run plays. No freaking wonder our vaunted 3 headed rushing attack had 25 yards rushing in at half time.

That was disgusting.

Matt Stafford is going to be great but he is NOT great right now. He is a freshman.

Birddawg is a moron, and it shows with every game we play.

I do not understand why the Bulldogs do not run it down their throats. They didn’t move the ball until they started gonig off tackle in the 4th. They stopped moving when they went to the shotgun. They had two situations where they needed smash mouth quick hits up the middle for two or less yards and they “Twinkle Toed” it out of the shotgun.

I guess they are afraid to use the best fullback in the SEC to get them the yards they need to sustain a drive.

Dude, I think the problem is that sprint draw we run from the shot gun.

The back doesn’t have the chance to get going full speed.

The O-line can’t drive off the line.

And if the defense stacks the line, the play has little chance.

You’re right, if we just line up in the I and power it straight ahead with the fullback leading the way, it seems like a much better shot of getting a few tough yards.

That sprint draw drives me freaking crazy. I was watching that 4th down play in the 4th quarter screaming that if we didn’t throw it we were freaking dead because they had 7 guys on the line.

It’s a bad play at least half the time.

unfortunately it works just often enough against bad opponents that it stays in the books as our most common run play.

Again, though, what do i know, with my intramural flag football experience.

The freshman QB’s are going to make mistakes and we are probably going to lose some games this year because of it. The defense is good. The offense struggled today and will struggle again before the season is done. The only real surprise I had today was not taking the points on field goals. There was too much time left not to kick.

Remember, you are never as good or bad as you think you are! We’ll have better games this year and we’ll probably have some bad ones as well. Especially on offense. We are young. We’ll get better.

With all team sports. You are going to need a relief guy, someone who can come in and spark a change.For example, in baseball it’s the relief picture, in basketball the back up point guard or center… Now does that mean you should change your starter, Absouloutley not. for whatever reason the team just wasn’t responding that well to Stafford. Leave the kid alone and let him use this as a building block, and lets be thankful we have backups who can come in during a game like this when everyone including the coaches are dumbfounded by lack of urgency by the team.

Richt is a great head coach but tell me why after almost every single game are so many people so bugged about the same aspect of our run game - the sprint draw.
