Diagnosing a disaster

Georgia’s first loss of the season contained numerous weaknesses and breakdowns. Joe Tershinski III struggled in his first game since South Carolina and the defense couldn’t shut down the potent Volunteer attack, led by quarterback Erik Ainge. the special teams had its problems, including a blocked punt return in the end zone for a Tennessee touchdown in the fourth quarter that was the crushing blow.

Where do you think it all went wrong for UGA on Saturday? Did the Bulldogs hurt themselves with mistakes and turnovers, or was Tennessee simply the better team?

How good do you think the Bulldogs are? Did their early schedule leave them unprepared? What must they do to prepare for Saturday’s game with Vanderbilt?

And who would you start at quarterback?

what I saw was first manifest when they played west virginia in the sugar bowl. A team that does not adapt to what the other team is doing. richt is not a game day coach and never will be. how do you pass as much as he did with a player who has played all of 3 games. especially from your own end zone and with the running game going. My only question is how bad will florida and auburn beat us.

I said Georgia would lose by double digits even though I hoped I’d be wrong…but I was right. Joe T. was supposed to not lose a game for us with mistakes, but he had three turnovers that I believe ALL led to Tennessee touchdowns. The defense was horrible…Joe T. was horrible…the punting game was horrible. What a joke this team has become.

Now it’s time to start Stafford the rest of the season to get him good and ready for next year.

You can’t blame Joe T. for the tipped ball INTs. Hats off to UT. They didn’t panic and answered the challenge. Ainge was the better QB and his posie and experience were the difference in the game.

Our defense is pathetic! To give up 50 points at home to Tenn is a disgrace. Joe T. is still terrible, and we couldn’t catch a break. I cannot believe that we gave up that many points on the 2nd half. How many 3rd down conversions did they convert? This is ridiculos….we should be like Florida & be beating these guys every year. Ga’s high school talent is 100 times better thant Tenn’s. We need a offensive coordinator, we need Will Muschamp as a defensive coordinator. This makes me wanna puke.

On the positive side we found an offense and a decent kicker. Even after a horrible loss, I still say GO DAWGS!!! and see you at homecoming…

Gotta go w/ Stafford. JTIII looked decent, but without his 3 turnovers we are in that game. TN was the better team. Hats off. Let’s not get too down on our team. We all knew this was probably going to be a rebuilding year. Let’s treat it like that and pull for Stafford to look as good as Ainge does. He really did look good. Battle seemed to make him look even better, but let’s give them some credit. We’ll be back. GO DAWGS!!!!

UGA clearly has issues on defense. Ever since the West Virginia collapse and the one tonight, UGA can’t stop good offenses. We have eratic QB play as well, which will lead the Dawgs to a 7-5 or 8-4 record and a date in Nashiville or Shreveport. I think we should use this season to prepare Stafford for 2007. Joe T.can start, however we must use this season to prepare for ‘07. Florida and Tennessee are just better than the Dawgs this year.

Tennessee is the better team, but the Dawgs could’ve and should’ve won tonight. Possession, possession, possession. Two picks and a fumble handed UT the game.

I’m glad Joe T had his opportunity to shine, but his mistakes had a lot to do with the outcome. It’s time to pass on the torch and play for the future.

I believe poor coaching, poor play calling, and a poor game plan has caught up with Mark Richt. Georgia has won in recent years not because of Mark Richt as a coach but because of his recruiting. Now teams have figured out Mark Richt and will be able to stop him the rest of the year. It is obvious to me that we can’t win with great recruiting classes. We need great coaching too.

As far as I’m concerned, playcalling led to this eventual goat rope. Pinned down in our own territory…where the LAST thing we want is a turnover..what do we do…pass of course…and give up a turnover leading to points and a monumental momentum shift. Later…third down and three to go after running the ball at will down their throat…oh yea let’s throw it again…and caugh it up for TN to cash in. Finally, it’s obvious our secondary isn’t able to deal with TN’s passing…we can’t cover well enough dropping 8…they catch the ball anyway and find the weakness in the zone…so why not rush a few more and at least try to pressure Ainge into a bad throw? One last thing…RUN THE BALL…out of the I and not that stupid shotgun handoff thing that blows up every time Richt calls it. Good effort dawgs…I think the gameplan let us down this time.

Start Stafford? I love the phenom but did you watch him when he got in tonight? Joe made a few mistakes but no one can argue that the offense looked better with his leadership. We made several bad plays and good plays.

I bet no of you that know me as a regular poster here that ripped me for saying how good Tenn. was going to be will say anything now.

Tenn. is a good team. There were very fortunate and also exposed us right in the middle. Br. Miller and Tra. Battle had horrible games.

Where were our bookends all night?

I hope they forget about this game and no one getss arrested around 3:00am in the morning.

We have a problem & I can’t quite put my finger on it. I realized this today when I watched Florida-LSU play, and I thought to myself that we cannot beat either team. We should not be losing to Tenn. The state of GA has 2 million more people than Tenn & to lose to them in college f’ball is ridiculous. Tenn is a hillbilly state that has no business in beating us in f’ball. Richt, you need to hire an offensive coordinator, and we need a new defensive coordinator. Will Muschamp, please!

I almost went to the game tonight. I am so glad that I stayed home instead of going and wasting good earned money in Athens. Our rush defense sucks, our pass defense sucks, and our quarterbacks suck. The receivers actually played decent…how ironic that everything else sucks when our receivers were decent.

Why the hell would Richt throw a pass over the middle on 3rd and 3??? What??? When Lumpkin is running like he is…We will never beat Tennessee (Ainge is gay) nor Florida in the same year under Richt…

We suck this year, and that’s final…

You can’t blame QB for interceptions off tipped balls or receiver running lazy slant allowing DB to get inside position. Joe T’s fumble was a good defensive hustle play that was from the blind side. Joe T did enough to win if Dawgs’ defense could have held up in second half.

Better team won tonight. If Ole Miss had only kept Cutcliff Tennessee would be looking for a new head coach by now. UGA better hold on to Richt. He is a quality person and coach that resurected the program in Athens.

Hope UGA gets things turned around to put a whoopin’ on the Gators. Go Vols.

Joe T III will have the shortest career in the history of the NCAA. He was absolutely terrible against Florida last year and abysmal again tonight. Did well in the 1st half and kept the defense off the field. 2nd half he turned it over every time he touched the ball. Defense got worn out and couldn’t stop you or me.

Time to face facts folks, Dogs are not good this year. Give Stafford the rest of the starts to prepare him for next year. This year is over.

This was an absolute embarrasment. The offensive line is pathetic sans Nick Jones. Nice blocking on the punt team Lumpkin. If you do not learn to block, you better focus on getting a degree so you will have options when the NFL does not come calling. Tennesse’s offensive coordinator made the difference. Martinez had no idea how to stop them. No pass rush and pitiful coverage in the secondary. GA’s O-Line could learn a thing or two from whatching hoe UT’s line protected Ainge.

Hey!!! How about giving UT some credit!!!! I am UGA since birth but they (UTenn) obviously have a good team and Cutcliffe has worked well with Ainge.

We could not get the ball past the 20 yard line on a kick in the second half and put our inexperienced guys in a tough spot.

Just like all of the rest of us……they have to go to work Monday. CMR probably already is at work!!!!

Martinez doesn’t adapt quickly enough; slow adjusting and has been since taking over. Really, all ya’ can say tonight is that the Dawgs got dominated in the second half by a better team.

Ricth’s play calling continues to be suspect at times.

Important to remember however that this is just one game and the entire season isn’t lost. Face it, after the last two weeks there weren’t too many in the Bulldog nation who actually believed we would win tonight, espeially considering how strong TN has been playing.

You won, you have a great QB and you guys looked great in the 2nd half but win with dignity and don’t spoil it with trash talking. You still lost to FLA and you probably won’t see the SEC title game, so take it in stride and enjoy the win without running your mouths.

Where are all you “we’re going to beat the Vols next weekend” jack#$%es??? Remember, you’re the ones who wanted “US” to come back to apologize when the Dawgs won tonight. You actually thought we were going to magically become great in one week?! As I said last week, Tenn. was going to kill us, and they did. That was more than embarrassing, that was one of the worst losses I’ve ever had to witness. We were mutilated. Top defense in the country, I THINK NOT. Weak schedule, I know so. Nothing has changed, CMR still can’t figure out how to call plays, our offense is OFFENSIVE, and our defense is overrated, just like our team has been all season. This is clearly a team with loads, I mean LOADS of talent, but with poor coaching and no motivation, we’re just wasting our great recruits. And to those of you who say, look at what CMR has done to the Ga. program, just remember this, he hasn’t won a national championship and we can’t beat Florida. We won our 1st SEC championship during a weak SEC year, where we beat ARKANSAS for the title, the played a crappy Fl. State in a BCS bowl game, then we won our 2nd SEC title last year, only to LOSE to the Big East’s mediocre West Virginia (a big east without Miami, Virginia Tech, & BC) - sending them into top 10 rankings, and leading to nothing less than an embarrassing end to an otherwise good season. Now we’re in a rebuilding year???? Teams that have top 5 recruiting classes year after year don’t have “rebuilding” years. I’m a big-time Georgia fan an I’m just fed up with this crap. And don’t tell me I don’t have the right to be. I have every right to be. And so does every true Georgia fan.

Lumpkin’s poor blocking led to the blocked punt and one of Joe T’s INT’s. Poor play calling again by Richt. Run the ball Coach! It’s obvious Lumpkin won’t block.

One word today: Willy Martinez-

He doesn’t blitz anybody, and because of that Kid Ainge or any other QB can get the best of our always very talented, strong and speedy defense-

The quarterback is the SPIRIT of the team: the defense must go for the QB on every passing down: think LSU, OHIO ST., USC

Stats lie: they do not show the mind of the Defense, and that is Martinez-

If I were Richt I would tell Willy that it is high time to start a bulldog blitzkrieg-

If not, this will only get uglier, and we will only be able to sit on Ole Miss, KY, Vandy: FLA is on its way up, Tenn. is too with Cutcliff: in other words it’s all about the MIND and SPIRIT of the team.

Everyone’s got talent, speed, strength-

Tough game. Give UT credit, they could have easily quit when down 17 in the 2nd quarter. Instead, we quit. Our defense wa really soft in the 2nd half, and it started with the end of the 2nd quarter. Give T Brown and Mikey lots of props for their returns, but what is up with our punting? 3 blocks in two weeks? that sucks.

Let’s not call for Richt’s head though. He had the team ready to play, and the play calling wasn’t bad. The offense was moving the ball well in the first half. Lump played good. Martinez, though, has a problem. Tenn didn’t get good running yardage on us, but that is cause we let Ainge sit back there and throw all day. Our secondary was picked apart.

Some thoughts here. Am I the only one that remembers us being up 24-7 in this game??????????? On the last drive of the first half my mom asked me why our linebackers were covering WR’s, and I had no answer. If my mom knows thats a problem, then why cant our Deffensive Co figure that out? This was the best game plan(offensively) we have had all year period. Our George W. Bush offense killed us in the early stages of the 2nd half. By that I mean conservative for those of you that cant think. Tennessee had better coaching period. We had the game won, but yet we played prevent leading into halftime which gave UT all the momentum, and that was the end of us. All the other UGA fans will now call us to conservative to play a team of this calibur, think about those words next time you vote! Remember our boys are dieing at the highest rate ever in Iraq right now. Maybe they should just run it right up the middle

I’ve said since before this season started that Stafford should start every game this year to get ready for a GREAT career the next three years even if that means losing 3 or 4 or even 5 games this ready. He needs time to get ready, and I knew having Joe T. start would do us no good. As it stood Joe T. lost this game for us with three…count em (the guy who everyone said wouldn’t lose a game for us even though he might not win one) THREE interceptions that led straigh to TWENTY-ONE TN. points. What a joke…please put Stafford in for remainder of the season.

Why is it that everyone watching the game knows what to do but CMR, RUN THE BALL! D*mn, why is it so hard for him to just run the ball, is it a pride thing? And our defense, F@ck, 51 points, F@ck!

Poorly coached? You cant put all this on richt. This is one lose. Its is almost impossible to go undefeated in the SEC. Tenn. was the better team in the second half. It didnt help that every time they got the ball they were already in out territory. Great game by Tenn. they out played us. The SEC championship is not lost yet. Tenn. has to play LSU. Auburn and the Gators are both beatable. You knew from the beginning that we were not competing for the National Championship. Its very hard for an SEC team to play for that because the strength of divison teams. Dawgs just put this behind you and look forward to the rest of the season. Well played Tennessee. GO DAWGS!

This game was lost because of terrible coaching. After the second half Georgia had seriously degraded Tennessee’s defensive line. Instead of running the ball against the weakened Tennessee line, Richt opted to pass. Maybe Richt thought he would hit them where they weren’t looking, but the bottom line is you don’t need to outfox them when you can out physical them. Richt’s worst performance!

Honestly, I never expected Georgia to hear the gun go off. Seeing the USC and Colorado games, I just wasn’t impressed. When we were down 24-7, I was stunned and figured “Tennessee’s overrated again.” After hanging 51 on the Nations No. 1 Defense on the Road between the Hedges, I look back and say, “I was right to begin with.” Beat the Hell out of Florida, Dawgs. We’ll send New Years post cards from Miami or Pasadena.

This one is on the Defense. Joe T’s 3 turnovers didn’t help us, but 33 points should’ve gotten us the win. Muschamp lost today too, so i’m not sure why people are posting that we need him? We could use Brian Van Gorder. That’s only the 2nd time we’ve given up 50 points at home and it was embarrassing. After getting 2 punts blocked last week (I know one was called back, but it shouldn’t have been) it is absolutely unacceptable to have another blocked this week. As much as it pains me, I have to give credit to Tennessee. They are the better team this year. All programs have bad years. Ohio St. lost 5 games a couple of years ago. Florida stunk it up for a few years (although not against us), Auburn started the season a few years ago highly ranked, only to finish unranked as did UT last year. I could go on forever. Mark Richt is an excellent coach and anyone calling for his head obviously doesn’t remember the Donnan and Goff years. We will be contenders again in 2008.

superdawg86 has it right. defensive coaching simply has no excuses. it’s not the players or our talent. it’s the scheme. west virginia last year says it all, but it continues through this year. even colorado and ole miss figured us out, both with different weaknesses. TN found another. just go back and replay the first TN drive on 3rd and 5 prior to the score. ESPN highlighted it - 3 receivers, 2 defenders. Oh, yeah, the safety and free safety were 25 yards off the ball…which really helps a lot when it’s 3rd and 5. pathetic. the coaches on my 12th grade son’s team can scheme better than that. you have to admit when you are not at the level you need to be. bring in a co-coordinator or something. you can’t jusy say “we’ll get better” when it is the fact you don’t have sophisticated systems or coaches who know how to implement them. florida will be ugly.

One word for Willy: blitz!

You have tons of talent and yet you sit back and let any QB pick the DAWG D apart-

Like superficial announcers, you bank on statistics that lie: you are afraid to go for the kill, and because of this, the GA Nation suffers again thanks to your conservative strategy that will never win in the modern and supertalented SEC-

Here’s a little philosophy for you, it comes from Hegel: The Spirit of the Team is the QB; blitzkrieg or perish!

Joe T’s play was not up to par. I respect him for his effort, but it just sucks because he’s the only calm we have in the QB situation.

Defense was very good in my opinion - but poor ofense and suspect playcalling had an effect. You can’t have a defense who is on the field every other minute and expect them to keep the same level of intensity.

For all those bashing the defense, just look at the stats before coming into this game. Its the only reason GA has been undefeated thus far

Yes this is a rebuilding year, we should let cox or stafford get some more reps, and hope for a better results this year.

This loss is on every single coach and player on this team. I am not surprised by the loss but I am disgusted by the way we lost. To blow a 17 point lead with a supposed dominating running game and the top rated defense (schedule aided) is unacceptable.

Joe T. for all is heart and hustle, can’t lead this team to anything but 9-3 at best. Probably 8-4. Richt has to decide which freshman he wants to groom and let him take his lumps this season.

As for the defense; Martinez is the worst play-caller at UGA since Marion Campbell. I put this loss on him for allowing Ainge all day to pick us apart. I can live with getting beat bringing heat, but not with sitting back in a dime.

The defense is a joke. Forget shutting out the nobodies. To watch them get pushed around and out-hustled was embarrasing. To not even have enough pride to stop the run in the last five minutes, when everybody in the world knew they were running the ball is a disgrace.

I know the offense gave Tenn a short field all night but, to not have enough pride to hold them under 50 at home… Well, that is the type of thing that demoralizes a team and destroys a season. Rebuilding year or not, this team tonight lacked toughness, poise, heart and most of all, its will. Joe T is a liability at this point. Hats off to Tennessee, they made us pay for every mistake.

It was an excellent first half. Joe T. hit the receivers and they made the tough catches at times. No penalties if I recall correctly. A returned punt for a Td with no holding flag thrown. I couldn’t have written a better script, but I had an uneasy feeling when our defense let them score a TD before the half. Wow, then 4 turnovers in the second half. That will never hold a lead. Our defense couldn’t get a rest, but 51 points? What a beatdown. I must admit, it was great to see Thomas Brown’s return, but we couln’t stoop them.

You got to give Tennessee credit. They played a heck of a second half.

Did they score on every possesion in the second half? Our defense was like Jekyl and Hyde in this game. Tennessee did something that we didn’t…adjust. It was almost like our halftime adjustments screwed us up. The defense just looked flat in the second half. Our defense really misses VanGorders ability to adjust with the game.

I have to say that it was nice not having pass after pass dropped. We caught every ball that we should have. I’m glad to see the improvement.

This one is tough to swallow after being up at half-time. 51 Points????

“I’m glad I didn’t go tonight even though I had tickets…”

“I’m tearing up all my tickets for the rest of the season…”

This is one of the reasons why UGA will always be a middle-of-the pack program nationally. Even in the SEC you see much greater fan devotion at Tennessee, LSU, Florida, Auburn and Alabama. (Georgia fans are great when their team is winning, but let things go downhill and suddenly I’m taking my ball and going home.) BTW- I attended Tennessee for two years and UGA for two years so I have a basis for comparison.

And when was the last time Georgia played a serious home-and-home against a major opponent? Colorado was a decent 8-win team when this year’s game was scheduled, but why can’t Georgia just once take on a Miami, Notre Dame, Oklahoma… someone on the national scene?

Keep running in the third quarter and there would be no interceptions, no blocked punts and a rested defense. I agree Marky-boy cannot coach on game day. I thought Phat-Phil was bad, but the Georgia coaches made him look like a genius. But nooooooo !!!! Marky can’t let the vols out pass his team … what an idiot.

we had no pressure on Ainge in the 2nd half,where is someone with the heart of David Pollack on defence.(SO MUCH FOR HAVING THE BEST TWO DEFENSIVE ENDS IN THE COUNTRY)Lumpkin failed to block his man on the pass deflection/interception and on the blocked punt. Looked like 2 half- hearted efforts. Our receivers were covered like blankets and thers were running wide open most of the night.

Everyone has been talking about how good Willie Martinez is, but I’ve always thought he should be coaching the caliber of a Duke or Kentucky - if not I-AA. He was awfully outcoached in the W.V. game, the Colorado game, the Ole Miss game, and, of course, this UT game. 37 points in the 2nd half - are you kidding me? Not to mention, how many 1-5 yard passes (screens, flats, outs, etc.) did Tennesee throw and Georgia never stopped? That’s what Colorado did too. That’s what Florida does every single year and they have been pretty good at it. Want to be Georgia? Then throw dink and dunk passes and run up the gut. They haven’t stopped it in several years now. I don’t think the coaches know how to stop it - well, they need to start taking lessons from other teams that do. After they got up, they let up - there was no killer instinct. By the way, why is UGA throwing the ball on 2nd and 5 at their own end when averaging 7 yards per carry w/Lumkin? All 4 TO’s came in the passing game - 3 of them when everyone in the world knew they were throwing the ball and the other (1st - bad call) was when Lumkin blocked his man like a toddler. Undisciplined penalties also killed Georgia - stupid, immature, and lack of concentration (thinking they’d already won). UGA was thoroughly outcoached, not outmanned. BTW - Ely Kelso needs to get a clue and hustle a little.

Mossaquoi could have been more effective had you started your truly best QB Cox.

There are some sorry a$$ dawg fans on this board tonight. I’m still proud to be a dawg and have no problem saying we got beat by a better team. Beginning of the season, most every one of us was predicting 3 or 4 losses. We knew this was a rebuilding year. It might be a bit painful along the way, but good lord, no reason in the world to act like some of you whino’s. One guy was challenging UT to win with class - same goes for us: let’s loose with some class too. Geez, I’m infinitely more embarassed on some of the crap guys are posting on here than I am of the loss.

Speaking of the loss, this does NOT belong to JT. You can’t blame him for a tipped ball INT and for a blind side hit (courtesy Lumpkin missed block - I think). You can’t blame JT for crappy kick offs resulting in UT having great field position. You can’t blame JT for a blocked punt. You can’t blame him for our D having no passrush whatsoever. You can’t blame him for our D getting no pass rush whatsoever (despite playing less in the first half than any other of the last 3 games). You can’t blame JT for the Vols driving 95 yards for a TD when we had the lead. NO WAY any self respecting football fan pins this on the QB.

All that said, I do think MS should have gotten a few more snaps second half when it was clear we needed a jump start. But i think the bigger problem is we needed a DEFENSIVE jump start.

Be honest dawg fans: if anyone had told you we’d score 33, you’d have bet your house we were gonna win.

We got work to do, but come on, be true fans.

To Tech fan and all wannabies writing of Bulldawg Nation space: get the heck out of here with your stats!

It all about the Mind of the Team, and their are principally three at UGA: the headcoach, the defense coach, and the Quarterback.

The Quarterback is the most pivotal player on both sides of the ball-

He is the Spirit of the Team, the wildcard if you will-

On the one hand, if he’s hot everyone’s into it, Spirit is everywhere, the fans feel it, commonly it gets the name: momentum (but that doesn’t truly express it as it is everywhere and infects fans and players alike).

If you rattle the QB then your success rate increases a thousand fold-

If you have the talent and speek like UGA then you can get in the face of any QB in the country, and more than likely win-

That is why the running game is so critical: it keeps the Defense off balance with respect to the QB-

But the running game can be easily stopped with UGA’s size, power, training-

It is the QB situation on the other end that will kill Willy and UGA-

Leave Tereshinski in: he knows a hell of a lot more than the freshmen-

What put out the lights for him was not his fault: it was failing to attack Ainge, who was rattled, disturbed all last season before Cutcliff arrived-

Tennessee should win the rest of their games because of Cutcliff-

But they are very beatable and Willy Martinez blew it again against a good team!

Van Gorden was the best because he would blitz a ton, even when the BullDawg Nation had less highend talent-

Blitz or bust, Georgia can beat any team, but with Martinez, we can also lose to any team-

BullDawg Nation call write and complain to Richt Eastwood!

And shut the hell up GT Fans! Enjoy your victory but leave the Dawg Nation this forum for revolution!

Richt made a bad call at start of third quarter, that swung mo in a big way. JT’s wounded duck passes prove that he is not equipped to be a D-1 QB. BUt what was most exposed tonight was the lack a of a DC. All three losses last year were because of the stupid playcalling of WM. It takes us a quarter to figure out that you have to pressure Leak against Fla when two other teams had done it sucessfully. we blitz auburn late in the game three times and get incomplte passes, and then rush three and give up a 70 yard TD pass to lose the game in the 4th quarteragainst Auburn. And don’t even get me started on the Sugar bowl. So why does this guy keep getting a free pass. He is a defensive Idiot.and tonite proved that. We need to replace him now, and choose one of the talented QB’s and go with him, wheather it be stafford, cox or barnes. JT is not the answer, and someone needs to start a “Fire WILLIE MARTINEZ website today.

If a miracle doesn’t happen Florida, auburn or GT is going to put 70 points on us and that will be it. WHAT IS GOING ON….WHAT IS WRONG WITH RUNNING THE BALL?

Too Derek: it’s Bulldawgs, and have the courage to say: to the Bulldawg Nation-

As a nation of players, coaches, fans you have no right to say “The Dogs” “suck”-

You suck and get out of here: you obviously just know how to complain and cannot propose any rational solutions to the Dawg Nations doldrums!

There is one problem here, and it’s not the fickle Tereshinski-Stafford controversy-

It’s all on our Defense coach, Willie, who is too scared to blitz and rock the other team’s Spirit, that is to say: the QB who must come down hard and often-

That is precisely how aggressive teams beat Michael Vick with the Falcons-

The opposite happens at UGA: we don’t blitz and the other QB, Ainge, Leak, Slaton, even IAA wannabes, take us apart-

Blitz or bust BullDawg Nation, and to hell with lackadaisical complaints: seek rational solutions and propose them in solidarity to Richt Eastwood right away!

Dawg Nation….We have a problem without a resolution..Coaching. Why is it that our team went into the locker room up 24-14 just to come out flat and unmotivated? This seems to be a constant problem with our team, unfocused, unmotivated, and just simply flat. Also it is going to be hard to win games when our coaches constantly ask a 2nd rate QB to lead the offense down the field and score points throwing on every down(UNLESS WE RUN THE BALL, problem here is Stafford isnt ready yet either). Only to have our offensive drives stop short (3 and outs/or turnovers arent going to accomplish anything)then ask our defense to stop a decent passing attack(Of coarse Tenn. has the best passing offense in the SEC) operating out of a soft cover 2 all night. Willie Martinez was soooo worried about giving up the big play to mecham and swain that our defense backs were never able to be in position to play good coverage over the slot receivers. Basically we were asking our LB’s to play man-to-man against there receivers and they ate us up. CMR..PLEASE for the sake of all the Bulldawg Nation “RUN THE D*MN BALL” and ask Willie not to be scared to take a chance, quit with this soft cover 2 crap. Hopefully this embarrasing loss will open some eyes within the coaching staff.

And I have to say this……The Dawg defense humiliated themselves, their team, their fans, and the memory of ERK. They dont deserve to wear ERK on the back of their helmets, 51 points..at home..someone owes us an appology or an explanation and not a simple “They were the better team”, anyone could see that, I want to know why/HOW 51 points were put up on us at home!!!

Its dumb to call out coach Richt.

Richt is going to be UGA’s coach for a long time, and Im happy about it:

Something interesting I found…

You also have to remember that Coach Richt is young and has only been a head coach for a short time… he is still learning what works. I believe he will bring another National Championship to UGA… not this year, and maybe not next year… but within the next five years, it will happen

Well I thought perhaps Richt had finally realized the importance of consistently running the ball in order to set up the pass. Not! JoeT3 didn’t play that badly but the turnovers hurt. I don’t know if those happened on plays that he changed at the line of scrimmage but in the second half I thought the overall play-calling was horrible. And that I have to put on CMR. I’m not a Richt basher … I love the guy and hope he stays at UGA for a long time … but (especially for someone who’s supposed to be an offensive genius) I just don’t get his play-calling. One play will look like a million bucks and the next one like it was drawn up on the sand lot. We had a 10 point lead, the momentum, and first touch in the second half. All we had to do was not turn it over … especially deep on our end of the field … and keep running the ball … but we got greedy and it came back to bite us … big time. Our offense scored only 19 points. Right now we’re not good enough on offense to do much more than run it 75% of the time. Even though MoMass stepped up in a big way tonight, our passing game is not consistently good enough to press our luck … which is even more of a reason to run the ball to set up the pass instead of vice-versa. Also our defense looked awful in the second half for two primary reasons. (1) they were on the field too often (see poor play calling above) and (2) Coach Martinez seems incapable of making adjustments at half time. Ainge pretty much did what he wanted when he wanted. Ten or so years ago I never would have believed any team would come into Sanford Stadium and lay 50 points on my Dawgs … now it’s happened twice in my lifetime. And it makes me sick at my stomach. It’s easy to look great on defense when your first five opponents include 2 cupcakes, 1 has been, and two second tier SEC teams. Perhaps a little tougher opposition during that stretch in the future would be beneficial for our preparation. My hat’s off to Tennessee, though. They’re a good team but we made them look great tonight by the way we played. But they never quit and while we played well for a half, we didn’t “finish the drill” and because of that we got our asses kicked pretty good. This embarrassment tonight will either motivate us to better performances in the weeks ahead or start us down the road to a 3 or 4 loss season. Even worse since there were a lot of recruits at this game, it could also hurt our efforts in that area. No the sky’s not falling yet but we certainly lost a game tonight that we could have won.

I always knew GA fans were stupid, but this is ridiculous. Fire Mark Richt?? I guess 11 wins a year for 5 years and 2 SEC championships is a letdown after GA’s domination of the SEC the previous 20 years. GA was always the talented, underachieving, couldn’t win the big game team before Richt. GA fans need to get a life if they want Richt fired.

JT3 played well enough to win. GA fans wanted Stafford to start, but he couldn’t score against 2 of the worst team in the country. So you wanted JT3 back, he puts up points, and everybody says bring back Stafford. I bet Stafford, Cox, Barnes, etc. would have had 10 turnovers tonight if they started. GA has 2 choices. Play JT3 and win 9 or 10 games. Play the kids and win 7.

I think GA may need to make some changes. Run the ball more, MAYBE a new D coordinator, gain some experience at QB. But Will Muschamp?? Did you watch Arkansas beat the s** out of Auburn today. Auburn’s defense might have looked worse than GA’s today.

Face it. Tennessee played better today and deserved to win. GA could have played better, but every team in the nation can say the same. GA needs to accept that Mark Richt knows what he is doing and let him coach. GO VOLS, and go GA against Florida!!

I posted in the blog earlier this week that our defense was over rated. Willie Martinez stunk it up tonight. How come the Safetys were 20 yards off the ball on every play even though Ainge kept throwing the 10 yarders. Our tackling has been suspect the last 3 weeks. The LBs tonight were non-existant on tackles. We have several DBs who think its best to knock the guy off his feet instead of tackling properly. And will someone please find another safety and take the walk-on off the field. His mouth is his best asset. Disappointed Dawg and some of the others read my mine. We were kicking UTs butt in the I and running Lumpkin down their throats in the first half. I think Lumpkin got 2 or 3 carries in the 2nd half. I just don’t understand CMRs play calling. The things he did in the first half were working and we sort of abandoned all of those calls. I will say that JoeT made some throws in the 1st half that I didn’t think he could make, but lets face facts. He had several luck passes like the one to AJ that should have been intercepted. He played over his head in the first half and the true JoeT showed up after halftime. I could see it in his eyes after the first pick. His confidence was shot, why not give Stafford a chance while we were still in the game? Its obvious to 99% of the Dawgnation that Stafford is the most talented, but for some reason this team will not get behind him. If the Offense had played like they played in the 1st half JoeT would not have played tonight. For whatever reason Stafford does not have his teammates respect. Maybe he’s too quiet or doesn’t show enough emotion. When Ainges center made a bad snap you saw Ainge immediately get up in his face and blast him. I have yet to see Stafford do this and the players don’t respect him. Unless someone tells Martinez to get out of that soft zone we may lose to Vandy and UK. I agree that UGA got outcoached tonight, especially on the defense. The team was ready to play, but suspect play calling in the 2nd half just killed us. I hope the defense works on tackling this week. This team has not improved and in fact has gotten worse as the season continues. Do you play the legacy boy who should be playing at Valdosta State or the golden arm who shows no emotion and does not have the teams respect? Joe Cox is not the answer, he doesn’t have the size and will throw more Int’s than anyone. Maybe we need to see Blake Barnes next week. We can kiss Caleb King good bye. Several fans said it during the week…why would any top RB come to UGA and play for pass happy CMR. Don’t know you was blocking Moses, but if it was the injured Sears what does that say about #94. If he can get dominated by an injured Tackle he is not ready for the next level. Over rated big time.

you guys who say you love the dawgs, but bad mouth the coaches and players who give blood sweat and tears shame our program, shame our fans.

Coach Richt and Coach Martinez have brought this team and this program out of the abyss.

They have given us reason to hope and have brought a proud winning tradition back to Georgia.

When I was a freshman attending Georgia in 1993, we had come off a great season (1992) with Eric Zeier and Andre Hastings ( 10-2 ) with a 2 point loss to Florida and a 3 point loss to Tennessee.

I watched in pain the next 4 years as the beloved bulldogs went 6-5, or something almost every year. While I attended, Ray Goff guided us to 0 sec titles, 0 big game victories, a peach bowl or two.

All you who love Georgia Football need to be thankful for Coach Richt and his staff for getting the ship righted and giving us these hopes and expectations of greatness.

P.S. on the playcalling issue, UT stacked the box and run blitzed on the 3rd and 3 when the first interception happened. A little better timing, a little crisper route and Massaquoi goes to the house.

Key word about the ARK entry was the all-caps TODAY. And yeah, they were the best, most impressive SEC team today.

LSU was Florida’s 12th player today. Sure, Florida pulled away in the second half, but looked far from dominant; there were so many mental errors. The game was a pain in the as* to watch; not because of the teams who played, but because of the turnovers and penalties on both side

You completely misread my post. I give all props to TN for playing a good game.

Agree with the comments made by coopdawg, bobbo, and others who say start Stafford. JTIII is clearly not the go-to guy. Is he solely responsible for the Dawg’s loss? No. But, the two interceptions and one fumble he made in the second half definitely changed the momentum. It also made the defense have to stay on the field for a long time. And he wasn’t able to even move the ball away from the endzone five or ten yards to give Ely-Kelso a better chance at a clean punt. Bottom line, he isn’t a champion. He’s, at best, a back-up guy. And, since it looks like we aren’t a strong enough team to compete for the SEC title this year, UGA might as well use the year as a chance to get the star of the future up to speed.

Wow this is the worst group of bandwagon fans UGA has ever had? One loss and some idiots on here are already talking about firing Mark Richt? Boy thats a smart idea, fire one of the best if not the best Georgia has ever had. Whoever said that is just plain stupid. Georgia has lots of games left they can win and after seeing Auburn today that game might actually be possible. In my honest opinion Georgia will lose 4 more games but its ok mutts, your supposed to have a rebuilding year every now and then. Don’t blame it on the coaches you just got beat by a better football team plain and simple. Im a Tech fan and I still hope you win the SEC because it will make us look great when we let Calvin run up and down that red truf in sanford stadium. It was kind of funny to see the 51,000 at Tech be louder than the 93,000 in athens tonight. This Thanksgiving the state title goes back where it belongs. You know it is coming so don’t say we didn’t warn you. GO JACKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I spent about 15 minutes reading some of our ridiculous blobs about what we, yes, I’m one of “us” also, have to say about the UGA game. Then, I picked up our local paper and read about an outstanding local 18 year old who just lost his battle with cancer in a very heroic manner. I recollected about an 18 year old UGA freshman who recently lost his life in an automobile accident during a terrible storm while driving back to UGA with his longtime friend and roommate. The UGA freshman who lost his life was voted “Most Likely to Succeed” by his 2006 classmates at Glenn Academay, Brunswick, GA. His UGA roommate remains in critical condition at the hospital in Athens. Maybe we should think more about this than the game. Let’s think about our personal victories, or unfortunately, about those our friends didn’t win, instead of a game.

Where did it all go wrong for Georgia?

Tennessee was simply the better team. That’s all there is to say. I knew going in that Tennessee was at least two touchdowns better than Georgia, though I had my hopes up that at least we could hang with them. But alas, it was not to be.

Oh well. I guess it’s back to the days of Ray Goof and Jim Donnan, when we were not even worthy to lick the bootstraps of Tennessee and Florida.

And as for Auburn, Auburn is so much better than us that I heard Las Vegas isn’t even going to publish a spread for that game. Our only chance to win against Auburn is to forfeit—in other words, we have no chance whatsoever.

SoCal Dawg you need take the blinders off. While JoeT made some real luck throws in the 1st half it was obvious he ran out of talent in the 2nd half. What we got in the 2nd half was a replay of Jacksonville last year. Unless JoeT changed the play on the 1st interception you can’t totally blame him for the 1st interception. Lumkpin had average 6 or 7 yards a carry and what does CMR do? Goes back to the pass. While Joe T is not the answer I was not impressed with Stafford either when he finally played. For what ever reason out team does not respect him. Had they played for Stafford like they did in the first half and JoeT would still be on the bench. That leaves Cox who can’t see over the pocket and B. Barnes. Maybe its time to give Barnes a shot. We stunk tonight in all phases. Where was the special teams on the kick offs? The blocking stunk on the kick offs for the most part and to have a punt blocked again is a disgrace. Please tell Ely-Kelso to stay the heck away from the Varsity.

Hey PhatPhil…we’re never too far gone. John 3:16 baby…

Jeb, i got my undergrad and grad degrees from UGA. football was the last 2 miserable years of dooley, and 1/4th of all plays were toss sweep to the short side for no gain by OC Haffner. And, then I enjoyed all the miserable years of Goff. if you are going to play the game, play to win. i’ll give young student atheletes a break, but excellence in coaching is required. if i was CMR, i would have no choice - bring in Co DC help monday or fire the current DC. there is no excuse. west virginia, ole miss, colorado, TN - all beating us different ways. auburn and fla will find others.

however, seriousness and passion in life doesn’t mean that we have to drag ourselves or others into filth. but, hey, i’m no preacher. enjoy the dawgs. i do with my 12 year old son every week. but, how i respond to a “W” or “L” means more to him in the long run than the season’s record he’ll have to search on the internet in a decade.

i’m off to join my beautiful wife in bed, then join my kids in the morning with a smile on my face. my best to you…

You UGA fans are bailing out too quickly. Face it: the better team tonight won the game. It happens. You knew they weren’t going undefeated. They aren’t THAT good.

Why call plays to the Fullback? Because they worked. Why did Stafford not play? Because he isn’t ready yet. Why did UT win? Because they made plays (especially Bret Smith).

Was Georgia overrated? perhaps a little bit…but they still mostly control their own destiny in the SEC East. Beat Florida and win out, you’re in the championship game, unless UT wins out as well, which will be tough against Arkansas, Alabama, and especially LSU.

To our DAWG nation. For those bashing Joe T. Did you watch our last 2 games? We score nada against Colorado with Stafford. We hardly do anything against Ole Miss. No doubt that Stafford is the future, but he is clueless in leading the team and running the offense right now. The season is not over. Joe T played very well in the first half. The second half fell apart on a tipped ball, a total lack of DEFENSE and a change of the offensive game plan (9 passes or so in first half and many runs; abandoned rushing game in second half). We got no pressure on Ainge and you gotta give him credit for executing along with their O-line. UT whipped our D. We scored 33; granted 14 were special teams, but we would’ve said we would win this game before it had we known we would score 33. Our defense made ZERO stops in the 2nd half. Turnovers or not you will not win if you have no stops. We miss Van Gorder, no doubt. Willie isn’t getting it done versus quality offenses (Auburn 2005, WVA 2005, UT 2006). He needs to be accountable. We love and need Coach Richt. Look at the record. Last note. We got beat by a better prepared, better coached team tonight. Hats off there. Remember Stafford is the future, but he sure isn’t ready in the present.

He is getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars but can’t make simple adjustments. Giving up 51 points is unacceptable. I also noticed our poor tackling. Willie needs to teach these guys the fundamentals or else we need to hire someone that can. No excuse to give up 51 points with the kind of talent we have on the defense.

When a good team plays on a short field the entire game only bad things can happen to the other team. Tennessee only had to drive the length of the field once to score, all other times they were within striking distance of the goal line. Mistakes on Special Team especially mistakes by the kickoff doom my Bulldogs to the lost. Tennessee was getting the ball on the 35 to 45 yard line the entire second half - short field. Joe T showed me what he can do when he has time. He made mistakes, but what do you expect from a quarterback that’s only played in 2 full games. The running game at least in the first half was excellent, but was non-existent in second half. When the running game was going well, Georgia led then went it went to the dogs..well you know the rest.Bottom line, Tennessee never panic even when down by 17 in the first half whereas Georgia because of a soft schedule didn’t know how to sustain momentum for the entire game..Give Tennessee a bone for playing the entire game whereas Georgia only showed up for the first half.

I have NEVER seen such a poor defensive performance by a UGA team in my life, and I was in Athens, in 1995, when Florida scorched GA for 52 points. The 1995 team was outmatched, had suffered multiple injuries to key players, playing with a flanker converted to quarterback, and clearly in over its head. No such excuses apply to this train wreck. What was especially galling was watching Tennessee players repeatedly run through Georgia tacklers. And it didn’t look like they were even running that hard.

This is really sad reading all these posts Georiga has really been unreal under Richt and for UGA fans to call for his head for one loss is sad. The win with class comments are pretty funny as well. I have seen alot of “Class” on these posts from UGA fans as well. The bottom line is UT had the better team in the 2nd half and it was enough to win. Bashing UT fans and calling them hicks and making quotes that UGA should never lose to UT is about as dumb as calling for Richt’s job. If I remember correctly UGA before Richt had a very hard time getting a win over UT and has had more wins with him than past people in charge. Also saying UGA is better than UT after losing 51-33 is pretty dumb as well it is like UT saying they were better after the 41-14 loss in Knoxville a few years back. I dont think UGA season is over because of tonights loss but has some questions to anwser and UT does as well. It is going to be hard for either one of us to catch FLA they are playing very well. Good luck to your team the rest of the way. I will say I enjoyed the game tonight but trust me we know how it feels to feel like things are going down hill and you guys are not going down hill. I think both teams have at least one more loss coming before the season ends.(Which is good considering we are in the SEC) alot of football left to play. Thank God for Coach Cut wow Ole Miss was dumb to get rid of that guy I guess because they are playing so much better these days. Well good luck the rest of the way and dont be so down on your team it could be worse you could go 5-6 and lose to Vandy after being ranked number two in the nation preseason that is much worse than losing one game. Your qb sittaution is much like ours last year and should stick with the young guy and let him get experience and it will pay off in the future. Lets face it Joe T like Clausen was just dont have the ability to play in the SEC. But Joe T is alot better than him. I hate Vol fans are talking crap on here but trust me we have been there before and not all of us are “hicks” and I am proud of Tennessee for not giving up and it was a huge win for our team. I really hope you guys beat the Gators but good luck that D is nasty, and we both are going to hate having Tebow around for a while that guy is good. I earned alot of respect for Coach Richt by his post game comments giving congrats to Tennessee after the stomping on “T” and the flag thing last year I wondered about him allowing that to go on with his players, but he seems to be a nice guy and a class act. and you guys will win alot of games under him but tonight us “Hicks” in Tennessee cant go to sleep because we cant wait for the replay of the game in the morning. Go Vols and good luck to UGA the rest of the season. I cant wait to hear all the bashing on my post since I actually tried to be fair and give you guys credit. Also one more thing folks this is football and the talk of meeting and hurting one another over a game is sad, I am the first one to admit it makes me sick when Tenn does not win and I was sick for most of 2005 however talking about hurting someone is crossing the line dont you think?

We probably got complacent when we won 9 in a row. Hope we learned a lesson. As much a Georgia could have done last night with emotion and pure athleticism, you did it. Very good effort. You exposed every weakness we have. You are in transition. We have been there. We still are there to a degree.

Simply put, Martinez calling zone defense all night was what did us in. You can not play zone defense if you have no pash rush. They simply go to a spot and wait for the throw. You now see the difference in Martinez and Van Gorder. Also, maybe the worst safety play I have ever seen from UGA. You also see the difference in a quarterback coach who is working with one quarterback and spending the time to develop him. Let’s be honest, after our performaces the last three weeks, we might as well start playing Stafford and get him ready for 2007. We are a mediocre football team and need to get some kids ready to play.

i have been saying this from the beginning. how good of a coach is CMR when, in his 6th season, after two sec champs, that gaudy won-lost record, all of these top ten finishes, and it it time for his program to step up to the national powerhouse level, & all he can throw out there is the special teams playing, talentless, legacy boy JT3. I am sure he is a good kid and that he has wicked playbook smarts but all the wicked playbook smarts in the world can not make up for a complete lack of talent. I have said it over and over again - JT3 would not even be a Division I QB, starting, backup, or otherwise, on any other Division I team in the land. That is not to say that Stafford or Cox or Barnes needs to get the starting nod. hell, maybe we need to get AJ Bryant back there behind center and just run the option all night long with aj, lump, brown, and ware. it coud not be any worse than the crap we are now seeting out there. I have no idea who should get it. But then again I am not the highest paid state employee in Georgia who gets paid to make those decisions and to have a QB with the talent and playbook smarts ready to take the field every game of every year.

All of Donnan’s recruits are now gone. As bad as Donnan was, what exactly has CMR done without donnan’s recruits? The fact that UGA does not have a quality QB as either a backup or as a starter is an indictment on CMR and noone else.

jt3 did not actually play well in the first half. a few of those passes could have been intercepted. the dude has no arm. AJ and MOMASS had to make incredible catches on 3 of those passes, with those catches accounting for about 100 yards in that first half. if momass and aj don’t make incredible catches on those flutterballs he chucks up there, then UGA could have been smoked 65-10. he underthrew aj by about 5 yards on that play and aj had to get acrobatic to catch it. he almost got momass decapitated on that one throw up the middle because his pass took six years to get to Momass. maybe we need to rename the offense when JT3 is playing the CHUCK AND DUCK SHOW. so, JT3 was pretty much terrible the whole game.

The defense was brutal as well. But how much can you blame the D when the vols kept getting great field position and they were on the field almost the whole second half because the so called playcalling genius CMR once again inexplicably abandons the run game although lump, brown, and even the damn FB are running all over the vols. BTW, where was ware last night?

CMR, stop worrying about how powerful JT1 or JT2 may be with the alumni or the boosters and please give JT3 back his clipboard already and throw him back out on the punt coverage team. I do not remember punts being blocked when JT3 was back there protecting the punter. So, perhaps JT3 is not completely useless.

Judging from your record againts real powerhouse teams like LSU, TN and Florida it’s time to get back to your mediocre reality!

We let there QB stand back ther a kill us!DC only started bltzing once they took the lead and had the MO.Willie and Donatell are both the most conservative DCs around they finally blitz when there exspected to blitz not when its unexspected like the start of the game, only after were down will they start to get aggresive but by then there runnin the ball and max protection thats why we dont get turnovers in big games.Tenn was aggressive on defence the whole game, they gave up a couple of big plays but you can live with that when you know yer going to get the QB, and make turnovers happen.Fla always beats us because they eat that rush 4 crap up, and now Tenn has figured out by watching Fla to hit our QB and good things will happen,they know we will play conservative on defence until its to late.We have the athletes to get after ther QB but wont do it.

After staying up all night and watching a replay of the game, what I saw were two very strong teams that can challenge anyone. I think the GA fans in this blog need to just take a deep breath and understand that one game does not make a season. Neither one of us will be playing for the national championship anyway. And the Peach Bowl is not so bad. Your staff will learn how to make second half defensive adjustments. Whoever does your scheduling also needs to learn that you should not have the first five games of the season against the equivalent of the local teachers colleges and the schools of the blind. It creates a very false sense of just how good UGA is. Play Cal, Air Force, and Florida like Tennessee does - those will build character in a hurry. Now suck it up, sober up and get ready for Florida and Auburn.

Palmetto State Dawg, thank you for continuing to show your ignorance. The vast majority of Bulldogs fans that I have encountered are gracious in victory and defeat. It is unfortunate that one bad apple spoils the barrel. If living in Tennessee makes me a hillbilly, thats fine… what does it say about you, who roots for a team that cant beat a bunch of hillbillies? Look at UT’s roster, stupid. They recruit NATIONALLY.

I can’t believe there are so many people calling for Richt’s head. UT has beaten UGA only twice in Richt’s tenure. Prior to last year UT was considered one of the top teams in the SEC, there is no shame in losing to a good fotball team, regardless of how painful it might have been in the way you losty. UGA has a fine football team… I think they just got a little too comfortable with an early lead. UGA will win a lot of football games this year and represent the SEC well in a bowl game.

Come on Dawg fans!!! One loss?? We all knew this game would be tough but it is not a season. All of you so call Dawg fans calling for the job of the best coach we have had in the last 10 years are a joke. Who would you replace him with? rembember President Adams calls the shots and AD Evans implements them. Support CMR or watch out who you may have. Three things that need to happen on the caoaching staff. 1) Bobo needs to go as QB coach. He was an average QB during his time at GA. 2) Martinez is not a DC period!! Van Gorder was he is not a head coach. 3) CMR needs a OC to help him manage game day.

Play calling?? How many times does it look like the QB is checking off the play at the line. Maybe, just maybe if they ran the play that was called from the sideline we might have some success. It’s funny how on ESPN Thursday they were saying how the play call for FSU had gone down hill since CMR’s departure.

Stafford need a dose of humble pie. The kid has read too many of his own high school newspaper reports. Cox looks lost at time. And no one know about Barnes. I don’t if you saw Shockley last night talking to JT3 on the sidelines, but the kid lost his confidence when he missed the 2 point try.

So if you want to go back to 6-5, 7-4 with a new coach that Adams and Evans hire then keep calling for CMR’s head.

TN was the better 2nd half team last night. Give them credit. TN is by far better with having an experienced head coach as their OC. Fulmer is not the “real” head coach on that team right now!

Stop the bashing or you will get what your asking for.

Dawg fans so some class, give TN some credit for adjustments and let’s move on.

From a life long Dawg fan.

UGA’s secondary could not handle the medium range pass up the middle? It was open all day.

One single safety in a zone in the middle ordered to stay put would have resulted in ten interceptions and five touchdowns the other way. My grandma would have been voted most depends-able player!!!

The team did exactly what Richt told them to do, QUIT PLAYING. With a full minute and a time out at the end of the first half Richt said, thats enough lets quit and go to the lockers, that’s what the team did.

In SEC play you have to be agressive, Richt is a kitty cat. After such a fast drive at the end of the half we needed to counter with a 1 minute drill to score again.

Fullmer even knew they couldn’t stop us (c his half comments).

I think Adams’ comment earlier in the week about UGA athlete’s graduation rates (“UGA still has to compete in the SEC”) was a foreshadowing of things to come. He knows that the best recruits will probably choose other schools after having seen UGA this year and that UGA will have to settle for the bottom of the barrel….both academically and athletically. Maybe we can get Adams to coach the football team….or play quarterback!

UGA seems to be unable to adapt and change skeems on offense and defense during a game. Heck, we do not seem capable of making any adjustments during half-time. It pains me to say this because I cannot stand Fulmer, but we got out coached on Saturday. We are running the ball down UT’s throat and yet we throw on 2 and 5, early in the 3rd quarter deep in our own end, resulting in an INT. The coaches knew we were having problems protecting the punter, yet we have a punt blocked. That’s the game.

Terishinski should have been taken out in the middle of the third quarter. He was struggling and you could tell his ankle was hurting him badly. Richt needs to swallow his pride and hire a offensive coordinator to run the offense and let him do what he’s supposed to do: oversee the operations of the team. Why did we abandoned the running game? We were getting, on average, 4-5 yards a run. Southerland ran all over the Tennessee front four when he got the ball. Air Force proved Tennessee is very vulnerable to a power running attack. Sure, we don’t run the triple-option, but darn we were running it down thier throats for the most part. Tommy Tuberville has it right - to be a consistant winner in the SEC, especially in big games, you must have a potent rushing attack. We’ve got three very good tailbacks and two good fullbacks; line up and run it down their throat. The lack of a power running game will always cause us to be right on the brink but unable to push it over the top. Should Richt be fired? Nope but he needs to take Vince Dooley’s power running attack 101 and apply what he learns…..

Oh my! This is my first visit to a Dawg blog. I’m usually suffering the UGA guys who come over to our blog and telling us how bad Reggie Ball is. I’m a total GT fan and enjoyed the debacle in Athens as much as anyone. However, you guys got it wrong. Joe T played great (considering his limited ability) in the first half. He kinda reminds me of George Godsey with us after Hamilton graduated. Two of the interceptions were NOT his fault. On one, Lumpkin gave a terrible effort in blocking and on the other the UGA receiver seemed to think he was playing front-yard touch football with his sisters. Richt does have a tough decision to make: play Joe T and keep things respectable this year or play one of the other guys and hopefully build for the future. We (GT) had that decision to make a few years ago (BALL VS. AJ SUGGS)and Chan made the decision. I doubt that we would have beaten Auburn and Miami last year had the decision gone the other way.

He had all the time in the world to throw the ball. We came out from half-time with that “we’ve got this one in the bag” mentality. Conservative play calling, and relying on the kicking game by Coach Richt. They all failed the Bulldog Nation!

I hope all of you are actually listening to what you are saying! Did anyone actually think that we would be able to beat Tennessee with the way we have been playing lately? So I guess everyone is going to jump off the band wagon? If everyone would stop and look, we are still in 2nd place in the SEC East. Tennessee already has one SEC loss, and still have to play LSU and Arkansas. LSU did exactly what we did last night, and shot themselves in the foot. They are a much better team than they showed yesterday. I guess we will find out if Arkansas is for real, or a one hit wonder. Florida is probably going to win the SEC, so I don’t really know what all the fuss is about?? 51-33, lets take a look at that. If anyone didn’t notice, our secondary is still very young. We haven’t been tested by a real passing threat until last night. When we score 2 touchdowns on kick returns,as well as turn the ball over 3 times, that leaves our defense on the field for a long time. If anyone on this blog thinks they can go out there and run around with probably the best receiving core in the nation for that long, have at it! I have said all a long that we should be playing Stafford just for the experience, and I still think that should happen. This wasn’t our year to begin with. We have the best quarterback out of high school, our running backs will be seniors, our defense will be more experienced, as will our receivers and O line, so the future looks good. We are in the top 5 in recruiting every year, and we have the best head coach in the NCAA. He just needs to hire an Offensive Coordinator. Why don’t we cut the boys a little slack and just realize they got beat by the better team hands down. All this talk about firing the coaches is nonsense. And to you Tennessee fans that like to antagonize people. I am sorry that you have the best team you have had since 1998, and it still isn’t good enough. How does it feel to be down there in 4th place in the division? Georgia isn’t going to the Dome, and neither are you. I hope after Ainge leaves, Jim Bob Cooter can step in and take the reigns, looks like another Joe T situation waiting to happen. You beat us last night, but lets not forget your 5-6 season last year. I can’t remember the last time Georgia had a 5-6 year. GO DAWGS. And to all you fans that are talking about ripping your tickets up, don’t do it send ‘em my way. Being a fan isn’t about winning all the time. We play in the toughest conference in football they nobody goes undefeated in. We lost, but that doesn’t mean that they are the worst team in the country. A lot of you people act like we lost to LA Tech or something.

Terishinki was good enough. He felt the pressure in the second half, though, as a result of Georgia’s defense and poor special teams play. Obviously, Georgia’s defensive coach and his game plan was inadequately prepared. Way too much time for Ainge to throw the ball, too few blitzes.Lumpkin was just plain lazy on the blocked punt. Occasionally, your defense has to stop the other team if you expect to have a shot at winning. Georgia’s, unfortunately, did not.

UGA ran the ball 15 times in 1st half; ran it 12 times 2nd half. UGA was 7/9 in 1st half passing and 5/11 in 2d half.

The play breakers were the 2 interceptions and fumble by JT that all led to touchdowns and all were on the short side of the field; and the blocked punt which also led to a touchdown.

No team can win with these kinds of errors with their defense constantly defending less than 50yds. If you erase these errors what would the score have been?

They need to figure out what’s wrong with the punting team. 3 blocked punts in 2 weeks??? FLA and AUB are going to eat us up on punts if this isn’t fixed.

We aren’t going to see much more of MS this year except as mop up role with 2 or 3 minutes left of a mess JT has created in games. JT the legacy QB is here till end of 06 unless he goes down injured.

Since you still seem to believe your pups are superior, I will REPEAT what I posted earlier. READ CLOSELY, Ga Dawg!

People predicting the end of the season because of 1 game are crazy. Tenn still plays LSU, ARK in ARK, and Bama. They will lose 1. Auburn cant have the same success as Tenn because their passing game is not strong. I still believe if UGA can beat the Gaytors then we got a shot. Tech still does not worry me because the Offense is not intimidating. The Dawgs have to improve, but the season aint over yet. GO DAWGS!!!

Joe T was terrible but he wasn’t good either. Bottom line, the game was lost on one play; the second play of the 2nd half when Richt called a pass deep in our own territory on 2nd and short. That was a ridiculous call after driving the ball down their thoats on the ground most of the 1st half. That interception and momentum shift changed the game and the 2nd half became a true disaster.

Additionally, Willie Martinez never made the appropriate adjustments on D. UT did not punt in the 2nd half.

What has happened to our punt team?

Joe T is pathetic. Richt said he has leadership. What a joke. Being a senior does not make one a leader. Handing the ball to RBs as they are already being swarmed by defenders, trying to pass with a defender in his face. He looks like a 7th grader who just watched a beginners video on how to play QB. Anyone who thinks our offense is back on track is greatly mistaken. The offense scored 2 touchdowns, the same as the last two pathetic games. Our coaches did not prepare properly and Richt calls the worst games I have ever seen. Let the freshmen battle it out the rest of the year and lets be ready at QB for next year.

The Bulldog Nation shows its true colors with these comments. You guys don’t deserve a coach like Mark Richt. You only support your team when you win and rip it apart as soon as you have one lose. The better team won and I am by no means a Vol Fan. I am an Auburn Fan and long time season ticket holder and I will support my team and my coach win or lose. Show some class and be thankful you won as many games as you have so far. There is such a concept of rebuilding and these are young men on the field no professionals, show them some respect too. See you in Auburn November 11th Dawg Fans. Show some class and really be the “Bulldog Nation” get off Mark Richt’s and the teams case.

I hate to criticize coaching, but I would love to see UGA just once, use an aggressive game plan on D and blitz more form different areas. Yes blitzing can give allow the other team big plays. It also allows the D to make big plays. The worst thing to happen to UGA’s D is all the turnovers that we forced in 05. In 04 we had 5 INT’s all year. Then last year we had a bunch. Now we are back to not forcing INT’s. This is because we are not forcing the action on D. I believe w/o the D getting all of those INT’s last year we might have addressed this. But now I hope the coaches will See that 05 was an aberration, and start blitzing the capable qb’s that we face. Especially when we start going out west. Get it together and GO DAWGS!!!

No you can’t blame Joe T for the tipped pass int. But you can blame his lack of playing time. That is a play that happens in every game. The defender rushes the qb in his throwing path. The qb must pump fake to get him airborn, then get out of the pocket, or make the throw. Exp. will teach him that, but that killed our MO. GO DAWGS!!!

GA DID blitz TN more than most fans realize. But their blitz was shut down everytime but once. But the reason GA didn’t blitz more was because Richt knew that would leave TN’s receivers, tight ends, and running backs wide open for a quick dump off pass. Richt knew his only Shot at stopping Ainge was to drop 8 and hope they could cover everyone. Ainge is awesome at seeing the field and can pick teams apart like Peyton has done in the NFL. The GA blitz works well with a less-experienced QB. And its rare that you face a team with a QB the likes of Ainge. My guess is you will do well in the rest of your games except for FL. Doing well doesn’t mean winning. I still say GA loses at least four games this year. One last poke, Phillip Fulmer is still the winningest active coach with 10+ years of experience. He will haunt UGA fans for many, many years to come.

We put 33 points on the board; when you put 33 points on the board you should win the ballgame. The offense looked like it could move the ball finally. Th eblame should go on the coaching staff for not making adjustments and the defense for the arm takling and lack of pass coverage. Joe T and the rest of the offense and special team kept Georgia in the game. The defense could not hold there own. This team will have to spend this week preparing for a decent Vandy team and do a little soul searching along the way. This is the trap you fall into when you play teams like Western Kentucky and UAB. They give you false hope, and when you play a conference game against a top 25 team you are shown your weaknesses. We need to stop playing the 1-AA teams and schedule people who will show us where we need to improve. I will take a loss against USC, Texas, Oklahoma or Ohio State to show where we need to improve and then be more prepared for conference games and not look like a fish out of water.

Joe T did play at Athens Academy, corrcet? He did not face the quality of players he is seeing in the SEC. It seems that playing football at some high schools really don’t prepare kids and I guess his 4 years at Georgia hasn’t prepared him either.

I am true and thru a Georgia Bulldog and will be until the day I die, but we were a bit horrible last night.

SmokeyDog, let me give YOU an education. In case you didn’t know, conference standings go off of WINNING PERCENTAGE. Let me break it down for you Barney Style.. Florida leads the conference with 4 conference wins and 0 losses, a 100% winning percentage. You following me? Georgia has 2 conference wins and 1 loss thanks to you guys, a 66% winning percentage. Almost home. South Carolina has 2 conference wins and 2 losses, a 50% winnning percentage. Here is the big finale.. Tennessee has 1 conference win and 1 conference loss, thanks to Florida who owns the tie-breaker on Tennessee and is going to win the SEC, also a 50% winning percentage. Due to the fact that South Carolina has more conference wins (2) than Tennessee (1), that puts them in 3rd place with you (Tennessee) coming in at 4th place. Its ok though, you guys are better than us, I am not denying that. But don’t think for one second that I don’t have more football knowledge in my pinky than you do in your whole body. Given the fact that you are making accusations as to my physique and occupation, without even knowing who you are talking to, tells me that you have a lot more personal issues than just ignorance. You may need to look into that. I know a couple of psychiatrist in the Knoxville area that maybe able to help. I give your team props, they won hands down. I knew we would lose and we did. But let me give you some advice, don’t stereotype people because of their geographic location, and grow up.

And people can dog UGA all they want, but if we keep control of the game by running the ball we win that game. Those turnovers were game changers. W/o them, the game does not turn so drastically.

Four years ago Chan had a choice either let a mediocre senior QB start or let a more talented but erratic freshman start. He made his choice before the season start the freshman!. Mark Richt had the same decision this year. It looks like he blew it. But Chan has been coaching longer the Mark, so Chan understood better the need to make that difficult desision with firmness and authority. He said Reggie is my QB now and for the future. The problem at UGA may be indecisiveness at the top when a painful but necessary decision should have been made before the season started. Changing QB’s now would probably hurt more than help.

I don’t even think we had one sack by our 2 defensive ends and absolutely no pressure and can we please get a safety who can play good coverage. It was so irritating everytime we had big momentum with a 24-7 lead and our defense just let them come right down the field. Then after the kickoff return i thought if we held them we would have a chance. The defense totally lost this game for us. When was the last time we had 50 scored on us. Its sickening that our offense and receivers finally stepped up, and then the defense sucked it up the whole game!

I am sure CMR is on this blog trying to learn from your football genius. You flap your gums saying what is wrong and what needs to be done more than anyone on here. You are the loser! Have you ever played a single down of football larda? Probably not..but yet you have all the answers. Your ego is as over-inflated and the Dogs #10 ranking. Welcome to the Real World..UGA is still my team..win or lose. Too bad blowhards like you exist.

I’m watching the replay of the game on ESPN Classic, and our defense just sucks, period. Tenn converted way too may 3rd downs, and our tackling is horrible. We need a offensive coordinator. Look at what Cutcliffe (spelling) has doen with Ainge. I’m not a Tenn fan at all, but do admire Coach Cutt. & what he has done with Ainge. He’s looks like Joe Montana. I can’t believe that Tenn’s receivers were that open.

Well, what can I say. Richt has been good so far because he has had a good quarterback. Now, things have changed. Who cares who the quarterback is—run the ball and run the ball some more until the defense give in and then run over them. This is not the ACC folks. Mark will have to come to terms with that fact at some point because teams are getting hip to the fact that he is going to pass the ball even when he can destroy them running the ball. I don’t know why but that seems to be the deal. Ya’ll figure that one out.
The coach for Florida figured it out in two seasons——put the required players on the front line, then 2 backs in front of a guy like Tebow and run over people—-HELLO—Tebow is what Mark Richt should have already figured out and to waste those back like he does is a shame—-thus Tennessee’s defense never got tired——did they? Oh well, better to get humble now and admit that passing doesn’t solve everything and start acting like you are playing in the SEC(smashmouth football). I’m done. Good luck to the Dawgs(wakeup!).

Winder. Turn your radio on 790 the zone, and see what people are saying. So far, every caller, and the hosts have echoed my sentiments about the defense, and careless play calling with a lead on offense. This also does not mean that we are correct, but when so many people have the same observations, then maybe there is some truth to what they are saying. Why are you so scared of other peoples opinion.

By Changes

The defense fell asleep, PERIOD! There were some questionable play calling on offense especially passing on 2nd and 5 of our ten yard line but our secondaries stunk. Coach Martinez preaches “space is our enemy” but the Volmits were given too much space. Add to that, poor tackling. This started with West Virginia and it continuous to be a problem this year. Everyone else is improving but the Dawgs seem to be stepping back.

I think the difference in the game was not Mark Richt’s play calling ( anyone ever heard of audibles? ) but rather Willie Martinez’s soft Defense. Ainge came out looking to get pounded. He was not sharp the first couple of series. But when we did not adjust and start sending people on blitzes when our ends weren’t getting it done… he got his confidence and thats where the game was lost. By the time we started to adjust Ainge was riding high. Football is a game of psychology. If we’d risked sending guys to put Ainge on his butt we would have won. Why? Because a gun shy QB, looking at where he is going to get hit from next isn’t going to make good decisions.

Willie Martinez might be a pretty good position coach but he doesnt adjust quickly enough. We have faced 4 really high powered offenses beginning with Auburn last year and only one did we really handle. LSU in the SEC championship game. Auburn ripped us a new one. West Virginia ran rough shod over us. Now Tennessee with the old Cutcliffe style of play ripped us. Every one of these teams were able to develop a head of steam because Martinez stuck with his “gameplan” too long. Each of those games were marked with a tentativeness. Zone against a great passing team? You can’t beat a sharp passing team playing zone any more. They will find the seams and dice you to pieces. You have to gamble and Willie Martinez plays it too safe.

Do not forget we had a 17 point lead and all the momentum. We looked really good. Tennessee adjusted and we did not. Coach Richt has to take some blame because he is the head coach. He needed to prompt a change in tactics. Obviously he did not. Willie Martinez needs to go. He is tentative when he cannot afford to be. We have the athletes to play in your face the way the other powers in the SEC do. We did under Van Gorder. Coach Martinez plays not to lose. The facts back it up.

Head Coach,

I’m a Bulldawg fan but I agree with you. Unless the Dawgs start to look around them and realize that everyone else is advancing and they are not improving, I have to be a realist. Expectations are high in the Dawg nation and changes have to be made starting with the Defensive Coordinator.

Also, to add to my comment, most teams go straight for the jugular when they have a chance. We sit back and try to protect our lead. Maybe the Dawgs need someone like TIGER WOODS on their sideline to learn how to not just beat their opponent but to crush ‘em. The killer mentality was lost during the second half. The Dawgs decided to procect their lead and that’s not gonna’ work against high powered offenses.

Joe T. was lucky in the first half. Receivers were making clutch receptions of bad passes in coverage. Joe T is not a Div I quarterback and never was or will be. That said, Martinez is not a Div I Defensive Coordinator either. Never has been or will be. Richt might be a pretty good Div I HC or OC but not both. Hire a real DC and OC next year and play our young QBs the rest of this year so next year they have some real experience. We’ll lose to FL and AUB for sure, probably Tech and maybe Vandy or KY unless Richt learns to stick with a good running game instead of forcing a passing attack without either the experience or the talent at QB to back it up. Bottom Line, though, is our defence has never been so lame.

I really believe this game came down to the game day coaching ability of the Tennessee offensive coordinator (Cutliff) and the Georgia defensive coordinator (Martinez). Cutliff out-coached Martinez to the point of embarrassment. It is the job of the defensive coordinator to put our kids in the correct places to be successful and to adjust quickly when the original game plan is not working.

That said - - Tennessee is just a better football team. It hurts to admit that, since I am a long-time Dawg fan. Hopefully we will regroup and figure it out before Florida and Auburn come calling, or it could be a heartbreaking season.

Posting blogs about what you saw, or what you think the coaches could have done better is not bad mouthing the team. Some people fail to realize the difference. You can love your team and realize their deficiencies. That is part of being a fan. Bandwagon jumpers don’t wait for a team to improve, they find another team.

Heck they almost got beat by Air Force, hear that? AIR FORCE! So get off your Rocky Mountain high.

What a disgrace to see such a sad performance at home. What an infamy to see red and black pouring out of the stadium with almost half of the 4th quarter remaining.

Richt & Assoc. must break out of the mold and adapt on the fly or this kind of a travesty will be the definition of the 2006 Season, come Florida, Auburn, and even GA Tech. I saw this develop last year with the Sugar Bowl as well as with the previous Tech game. Our opponants are getting smart. TN knew our team and Richt before the game and only solidified that knowledge with their own experience in the first half before carring out the full exploitation of our weaknesses in the second. Time to light the fires under the coaching staff’s rear ends and come up with some new material. We’ve got talent on the field, now it’s time to develop it and make something of it for the long term rather than flipping quarterbacks around. It’s the least we could do to try to plug the hole in our now-deflating season.

As a long time vol fan I have never seen a Georgia team with such a poor defensive strategy in the passing game. Also, I don’t know why the Dawgs didn’t stick with running the ball more. Vols have had a hard time stopping the run against everyone but Memphis. Dawgs are in much need of a QB to get the ball to several talented receivers. This game should be great for Volunteer recruiting and bad for UG. Florida is winning with mirrors and can definately be beat. I will be a big Bulldog fan for that game. Go Vols!!!!!

Observations from a delighted UT fan.

  • Dawgs, lighten up on your coach. You have a great program. That’s better than the “good” program you had with previous coaches. You’ve won a bunch of games in the past five years. You can’t win a NC every year. UT fans wanted Phil’s head last year, but we’re looking pretty fair right now.
  • Vols, enjoy this one, but we aren’t THAT good yet. We can’t stop the run on a consistant basis. Our special team play sucks, although there was a couple of bright spots last night. Our schedule is a stinker the rest of the way, and suddenly, Arky is a player. I am NOT looking forward to that running game.
  • Speaking of the running game, you Dawgs did make a mistake not sticking to the ground. Lumpkin is a tough runner, and the run was working against us. I guess your OC felt like he had to mix it up, but it sure worked against you.
  • Everyone should quit whining about the officials. I could point to two or three calls that went against each team that were questionable. It happens, get over it. (This note especially goes to the goober who was whining about UT roughing the kicker on the blocked punt. Whoever signed on the internet for you should be slapped.)
  • Finally, we’re all fans of classy, southern football teams. I know fans of each school, and (surprise!) none of them are toothless, unbathed retards who live under rocks. None of them boink their sister or cousin or various farm animals. You had fun at our expense last year. We’re going to rag you this year. That’s the way it works, have fun with it and look ahead to Knoxville in ‘07. No need to meet in any parking lot over a football game.

    To the Dawg fans,

    You idiots keep me in stitches.

    Face it Tennesee handed your a* to you on a platter. Colorado should have beat you! You got lucky you did not schedule Montana State.

    As for the UT game, if you wouldn’t have had the special teams scores to give you a glimmer of hope, you may have gotten beat 51-10. (Because the demoralizing would have started earlier. You just took them aback for a bit and kept the ball out of Ainge’s hands.)

    So put on your leotards and go back to being the SEC Easts third place b***.

    And by the way those of you complaining about UT fan comments need to look in the mirror at the comments last year on UT and UF boards by GA fans. You dished it out so now you WILL TAKE IT! Shut up and eat your damn crow.

    Also, you guys always have been and always will be “OUR B***”. I predict the Florida-GA score to be 52-10. We have a much better front 7 on defense than UT and Nelson will not get burned in the backfield like Johnathan Wade did in the first half.

    By the way the 3 will come early probably a 40 yard field goal (you will not get any closer to the goal than that) and the touchdown late against our 4th string unit. A mercy score since Spurrier is no longer here.

    Face it you guys suck and will next year too. Yes UT had a down year last year and you guys rode them all season long. Some of you said you “owned” UT now. Let me remind you they had beaten you for 20 years in a row until they found the miracle of Randy Sanders for an offensive coordinator. Now that those days are gone, and as much as I hate it Randy Sanders gone, UT is back. I will revel in our win as they played us well and could have won. As for you guys, you did not have a chance. It is OK if you dont believe it. Watch the TIVO’ed game and it will become clear. As for Florida, we reload and are back on top again and will be for at least the next 4 years. Everyone knows we own you.

    Welcome to reality. Yours is 3 more losses this year and a major a* whooping in Jacksonville.

    Signed,

    The Gator Nation

    PS - quit calling Tennessee people hillbillies. Outside of Altalnta GA is a wasteland including Athens. Besides GA is the setting for “Deliverance”. As far as the rest of the nation sees it, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, and South Carolina are all the redneck melting pot. Hell, why have borders between those states.

    If you dont understand let me rephrase: The Hatfields (Georgia) are calling the McCoys (Tennessee) hillbillies. You all are a bunch of hillbillies. Ask any one from outside the south. They cant tell the difference in you guys.

    PSS: “Squeal like a pig” little doggy after that loss. The gators are going to barbecue UGA for a scooby snack and the board meltdown will resume as usual.

    How about that VICIOUS Georgia defense? All I have been hearing about after they have played W. Kentucky, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Colorado, Parkview High School, etc.. is that VICIOUS Georgia defense. Hunker Down Dawgs, Get ‘R Done. They have only allowed 7 points per game, they are the Daunting UGA defense. Then they let a team (one of their biggest SEC rivals) score the second most AT HOME EVER! 51 points? “Whats that coming down the track? “Its a huge machine its red and black. “Ain’t nothin finer in the land. “Than an overrated defense who gets rocked by an SEC rival on prime time national TV after they have been bragging about their defense dropping them down the polls below Tech.” Here is what I have to say for “DAWG NATION”. Next time you play scrappy teams at the beginning of the season and hold them down defensively, don’t brag about that defense. You have to prove yourselves.
    What about that offense? Here’s your problem: Mark Richt. Ladies and Gentlemen, the master of killing momentum. 3 quarterbacks, 3 running backs. Who cares about your recruiting. All you need is one of each. Tereshinski looked about as good as Reggie Ball, but you guys don’t have half the receivers that we do. Your running backs are awesome, but how can they get any rythm going if they switch out b/w three of them. Even if they do get rythm (like running on the outside), Richt still finds a way to kill it by running up the middle.
    Here are two things that you can take away from this game and other games. And its a rebuilding year, so you have time. But if you keep on rotating 5 quarterbacks and 5 runnings backs, every year is rebuilding. 1) Your offense sucks. Its ok, you are rebuilding. Tereshinski sucks and who knows how good Stafford or Cox is, b/c as soon as they start screwing up, Richt pulls them out (great for their confidence by the way) 2) Tennessee has a good offense, and your defense isn’t NEARLY as good as you guys thought it was. When you play the Gators, I feel that you will experience a lot of pain. I don’t want to even say what’s going to happen to both your offense and defense this year when you play Tech.

    All in all, a great weekend. Tech won, UGA lost, and Tech is not ranking above UGA.

    ’m long time Dawg fan and this is my second post. And it shall read: Do not be afraid to run the ball. When you are gettind 4 or 5 yards every snap,(or more) do not be afraid. When you are inside the opponents 20 yard line, and you are gaining 4 or 5 (or more) yards each play, do not be afraid to run. They were wearing them out on runs and an OCCASIONAL SHORT PASS. I am so tired of settling for field goals after getting inside the red zone (or closer) against a team like Tenn. When you have no real passing game, run the football. Oh, and start Stafford.

    well once again we play a half way decent team and our defense disintegrates. martinez sux as a d-coach and needs to be put on the proverbial hot seat and then promptly fired at the end of the season after we get demolished by UF and AU. Richt is not a game day coach and his tenure also needs to be evaluated. UGA should have hired paul johnson of NAVY formerly of GA. SOuthern fame to run the option offense that everyone is going to. As long as UF has a real coach like meyer and QB like tebow we wont beat theam for the forseeable future.

    How long do we have to endure Martinez? I would like to ask Willie Martinez three questions:1-When will this mythical best defense in the nation learn how to tackle? 2-When will you learn that being within 10 yards of a receiver is not covering that receiver?3-When the opposing team is on your 6 how in God’s name do you plan to cover the opposing receivers (stop the quick slant) with all of your defensive backfield lined up on the goal line?

    I am so sick of our defense turning the opposing running back into an all american. I am so sick of our defense always being so clueless as how to defend the other teams schemes. What I want to know is when will Willie Martinez be gone so we can have a real defensive coordinator? The defensive coordinator for my son’s undefeated, three shut-outs, high school team would do a better job. DC

All these people on her casting aspersions on where people are from or their ancestry whether from Georgia, Tennessee or anywhere else are just showing their ignorance. Also, you need to check your spelling. Atlanta is spelled a-t-l-a-n-t-a….not altalnta. As far as rednecks go, Florida has quite a few of those also.

    All you so called Dawg fans make me sick! What the hell game were you watching during the first half!?! Joe T was tearing Tennessee apart and there were no mistakes in the first half! We didn’t even send the punt team out until the second half! It wasn’t until the second half that we couldn’t get anything done, and it wasn’t just Joe T’s fault! One of the interceptions was from a batted pass, which might have not happened had Lumpkin gone and blocked the guy before he was in mid air (something he did twice in the game)! Joe T’s fumble occurred when he was attempting to get rid of the ball…just not quick enough. Our defense couldn’t stop a snail on a salt bed. Can someone tell me why we were playing zone coverage all night!?! Ainge was throwing over it all night! Sounds like a coaching problem to me.

    CajunVol and SEC Tony,

    Cajun vol, very funny! I agree in southern Florida the burrito may replace the burger. As long as they keep bringing those half naked Shakira latin honeys its all good.

    We are are adaptable and will still own the VOLS for at least the next 4 years. Watchout here comes Tebow! You will see.

    SEC TONY: I addressed other calling people hillbillies and said to cut it out. It was GA fans saying it about Tennessee fans. I was merely pointing out this is why the rest of the country, not just the north, the midwest, the southwest, and the west coast all see the South. So why did you choose to address me and not all the others. Because it hit a nerve with you. Face it, this is how the rest (i.e. entire non-South country) view the south. Whether you like it or not, this is the perception. Did you notice I did not deny the latin american influx into Florida. I am not blind and I suggest you should not be, or atleast not so sensitive.

    By the way, I was born in Tennessee and live in Florida. So where do you want me to go? Back to Tennesee? No thanks, we own you just like we do GA.

    As far as the spelling goes, I just bang it out and hit send. I am not stressing over a typo on a forum on an internet board. If this is what you can pick on after reading that smack down on GA and TN then it is fine with me. Judge me an idiot for a typo. Fine. Receptionists are for typing. I do not care enough.

    Joe T is a good kid but geez anybody thinking he played well was not watching the same game I was. The first half we surprised UT. They adjusted at the half. Joe T then fell apart (3 turnoers leading to an easy 21 points). Yes, Joe T does understand the offense, he apparently does get the team to rally around him. He just isn’t very good. The problem is that Stafford and Cox aren’t so great either. There is however signifiicant upside to sticking with them and letting them get enough experience so that we aren’t in the same spot this time next year. There is no upside to Joe T.

    On defense, WM needs to get his head out of his a* or just go away. The defense eventually just quit. It was a gutless performance. Starting with Auburn and West Virginia last year and now this debacle, we can safely say that the defense is capable of spectacular meltdowns in the biggest games.

    This is a fundamentally flawed team (no other way to explain the last 3 weeks). Might as well start building for the future and treat every remaining game as a practice for ‘07 (let’s sacrifice any meaningless ‘06 goals to get Cox and/or Stafford the experience to build on for the next 3 years). That is the only way to salvage anything from the wreckage.

    As far as the defense goes, only a coaching change will help.

    JTL,

    First of all, you’re obviously not very bright. Your team just got 51 points hung on them at home. They made Erik Ainge look like an All-American. They made an offense that struggled at home against Florida look like that of the NFL ‘99 Rams.

    Your team stunk, plain and simple.

    And as for Tech, last time I checked, they did win a game in their own conference. Two, actually. They beat Maryland — which is better than any team Georgia has played, save Tennessee — and they beat VT on the road, also a bigger accomplishment than any of Georgia’s this year.

    And just so you know, Larry Coker’s job isn’t on the line anymore. His job is gone. The moment Miami lost to FSU, his job was on the line. The moment they were trounced by Louisville, his job was lost. The moment they beat Houston by one point at home, his life was suddenly endangered by fanatical Miami fan.

    So… learn your stuff before you start talking. GT has a tough game against Clemson, and the game in Athens looked to be tough until yesterday. Suddenly, after watching your secondary, I’m not that scared and am rather licking my chops.

    I’m probably not the only one, either. I think a guy named Calvin Johnson is pretty happy about watching that garbage you call defense, as well.

    It is obvious from last night that Georgia has a LONG way to go if it wants to compete in the SEC. Before we get down on Georgia, though, we the fans need to realize that this is a rebuilding year. There is a lot of young talent on the team that still has to mature. Georgia definitely needs to recruit some offensive linemen-it was obvious from the Colorado and Ole Miss games that our offensive line cannot dominate the line of scrimmage. Lumpkin and Brown need help from the offensive line if they are to run successfully. Defensive Coordinator Martinez was outcoached by Cutcliffe. There was no excuses for not making adjustments at halftime. When Tennessee scored that TD before halftime, I knew then that we were in trouble. We need an offensive coordinator like Cutcliffe to give our quarterbacks confidence. I would like to see Will Muschamp of Auburn (a former UGA player) come back home to become defensive coordinator. Coach Mark Richt and the staff needs to give a refresher course in the basics of blocking this week, especially in special teams. Three blocked punts in two games after going several years without one is simply unacceptable.

    Dear Kirsten Clatyon,

    Mark Richt just called. He says you’re an idiot.

    First of all, the reason your boy friend is on the practice squad is probably because he doesn’t know the rules of football. If the punt is blocked before the kicker is touched, then it’s not roughing the kicker. (See NCAA Football Rules, Rule 8, Article 3, Paragraph 1)

    Second, check the picture and video, sweetheart. Ely-Kelso WAS NEVER EVEN TOUCHED!!!

    Loosing sucks, and loosing to a more classy team must hurt even more, although we at Tennesse would not know what it’s like to loose to a more classy team. We’ve never come across one…

    Where do we go from here?

    Most likely to 8-3 and a mediocre bowl game. That’s whether Coach Richt goes with Joe T or Stafford, so why not give Mathew the experience so next year has a chance to be what some of us hoped this year might be?

    Classy? UT? I’m laughing at that one. UT couldn’t spell ‘classy’ if you spotted them the c l a s s y!! UGA got beat because they played a quality opponent and didn’t finish the drill. They didn’t protect the football and they lost the kicking game. That will get you beat to a talented opponent. You might be able to overcome a KY, Vandy, etc. but not UT, FL, etc. BTW, that is classy UT dumbass. Acknowledging the team that was better on the day of the game. Something I’ve NEVER heard a UT fan do on these blogs. GO to Knoxnews whatever and hang out there—if they have a blog. Instead of accusing UGA of not having class, why not try to exude a little yourself?
    By the way, Ely-Kelso had a bad snap that almost went over his head! THAT was the reason for the blocked punt. Ole Miss had 2 of them (although only one counted). Of course drinking orange Koolaid keeps one from seeing reality though. Take that play out and I say UGA still wins this one. Momentum is everything in college football.

    Final shots: all of you UT fans/grads living the good life in GEORGIA; why don’t you go back to good ole Tennessee if it’s so great? That’s what I thought…(no jobs, huh?).

    This was embarasshing as the Dawgs fell completely apart in the second half. Coach Richt and Coach Martinez should be ashamed of themselves. Coach Richt for forgetting that his team was beating Tennessee and controlling the game by rushing the ball at will against Tennessee. By forsaking the rush and passing the football he put his team at a big disadvantage i.e. 5 turnovers consisting of 3 interceptions, 1 fumble and 1 blocked punt leading to 31 of Tennessee’s 37 second half points. This also caused the defense to spend most of the second half on the field. Coach Martinez for not adjusting/tightening his coverage on Tennessee’s receivers. Totally terrible coaching and play calling cost us this game. I just hope our team will rededicate themselves to improve their play before we face Vanderbilt. Go Dawgs

    I’m a Tech fan, so I don’t exactly know everything about UGA’s football team, but why exactly is this a 2 man QB race between Tereshinski and Stafford? From what little UGA football I have seen this year, Joe Cox seems like he’s every bit as good as them (at least at this point in his career), and he did bring y’all back from a shutout to win against Colorado. Why are y’all not considering starting Cox?

    GA FANS: Have you forgotten the 11 win seasons you have been having with Coach Richt? These games were won against good and bad teams. Now comes a hard to swollow loss to a team rejuvinated by the offense and quarterback coaching of David Cutcliff who taught some guys named Peyton and Eli. and won 5 of 6 years at Ol’ Miss. Bottom line is that Georgia has one of the finest young coaches in the country in football knowledge, commitment to winning and personal character—something which is hard to find these days. If Mark Richt is forced by some shortsighted fans to consider taking a trip to Miami or some other fortunate football program, he is reminded that highways 75 and 40 would take him to Knoxville where he would gladly be received.

    If my memory serves me right, UT gave up two touchdowns because of poor special teams play. Without those two touchdowns the score would’ve been even worse. So UGA fans just give credit where credit is due and stop using the block punt and interception as an excuse. The better team won. Go Vols!

    To the other UGA fans saying “5 out of 7,”

    Please stop. It reminds me too much of the Tech fans who were shouting “3 out of 5” right after the infamous 51-7 game. That’s the kind of thing teams that play (and lose) their bowl games in San Francisco say.

    On another note it is very interesting to see the Tech fans already running their mouths. Does Tech look better? Absolutely. But the last time I checked the game is played in late November. But this is has been their M.O. the past five years — Start predicting the demise of the Georgia program and their own supremacy after Georgia’s first, then disappear when they wet the bet in November.

    After watching replays of some of Joe T’s completions early in the game I realized he didn’t even play well in the first half. The three big catches in the first half were all on bad throws where the receivers made great catches. Then 2 interceptions and a fumble later on.

    Terrible game all around for him. Like I’ve said since before the season I’ll take a few losses with Stafford starting to get him ready for next year…but let’s get him ready by letting him start from here on out.

    Plus it looks like we aren’t going to win any more with Joe T. starting than we would with Stafford starting…we may even win less. So let’s let Stafford take this team over from here on.

    I was at the game and I was wathching the play on the field more so than the ball.

    We only blitzed Tenn twice the first half, resulting in one QB sack. I did not see a blitz in the 2nd half.

    UT had the ball on our 26 yd line, 4 down and two. They had one split end. We had a defensive back on the split end and held 3 middle linebackers in the middle of the field. UT ran up the middle for the first down. We should have played one against their split end and the rest should have tried to stop the run.

    UT’s secondary were covering our receivers one on one. Our secondary and linebackers were playing a zone the whole night.

    We had a blocked punt.

    We need the following changes: 1. A new defensive coordinator 2. Richt needs to stop calling every offensive play-we need an offensive coordinator to call the plays from the upstairs box. Richt can override if he want to. 3. Our team needs a “Killer Instinct”

    I have said it before and I will say it again, Richt knows he cannot win a national title at Georgia which was quite evident last night. I also said this in one of my last posts on this sight, its about time your team played somebody b/c we would have been 5-0 too w/ that schedule you have played. After we fire Coker we are coming for Coach Richt and bringing him home to win our 6th title. After what I saw last night, you can chalk up another 2-3 loses. Sorry, but Joe T just won’t cut it and you will never win a title w/ that guy at QB. We are coming for him Dawg nation…we are coming!!

    Give it a rest - Joe T was NOT the problem, though the three turnovers did not help. Willie Martinez was the problem once we got up 24 - 7. From that point on we played not to lose. An earlier blogger had it right - we did not blitz at all after the lead was 24 - 7, and UT scored everytime they had the ball the rest of the game. YOu cannot expect to win when you allow a QB as good as Ainge to just sit there and look around for the open receiver when there is no pressure and the DBs and LBs are playing to keep everything in front of them so as not to give up the big play. Then you give up a lot of little plays and the result is being scored 44 - 9 the rest of the game!

    I know the UGa faithful are upset; just know we felt the same way after the Florida game. I am usually a big Richt fan, but this game made me scratch my head.

    I agree with most of the posters—can’t believe Richt stopped running the ball (did he not watch the Air Force and UF game film where UT gave up like 5,000 yards rushing?) and that Martinez didn’t blitz (did he not know UT’s two best linemen are seriously hurt and the center is a freshman making his first SEC road start?). Blitz blitz blitz.

    I watched the second half in awe waiting for the run to be stuffed down our throat and the blitz to come…but neither ever did. It’s SEC Coaching 101: run the ball and blitz like heck.

    Glad for the win; we’ve had nothing but woe since Richt came to Athens. He’s a good coach who had one awful game. Please please please beat UF; as a Vol, I will be at the game pulling hard for the Dawgs!

    Okay, first things first: I still love the Dawgs and Mark Richt, but I was amazed and disappointed at what I saw Saturday night. That said we need to make some adjustments. Until our passing game improves, the running game should be emphasized. It looked very strong Saturday night especially from the I formation. Focusing on the run would mean we don’t pass from the shadow of our goal post. Until the passing game improves we should not strive for a 50/50 split between running and passing. To make the passing game improve, Stafford should be the quarterback. Joe T is not the future and playing him is only delaying development of Stafford and Cox. Much of the success Joe T had Saturday was a result of our receivers making circus catches of balls that had been thrown up for grabs. Joe T knows the system , but he does not the skills to make it work. The defense seemed to be playing without a secondary much of the time Saturday. The safeties were frequently out of position and offered little help to our corners. Our defensive play was similar to the West Virginia game except the collapse occurred in the second half. Apparently Tennessee adjusted during the half, but we did not, and I fear this may be an indication that Willie Martinez is not a sufficient defensive strategist.

    I am a big CMR fan. I believe he has been good for UGA, sets high standards, and is a good moral role model for the players. I appreciate what he has accomplished in a short time at UGA. BUT— he has yet to prove to me that he is worthy of being one of the highest paid coaches in the country! His play calling, lack for developing and believing in a consistent running game, handling of this QB situation, and the cadre of asst coaches he has assembled around himself (esp. the defense is horrible) certainly are not a good testament to his worthiness.

    With QB’s at UGA playing musical chairs, here’s some thoughts from outside of Athens:

    1 )JT tried his hand with FL last year with a better Bulldog team then this years team… So, senior or no, after the UT game I’m looking to the future if I’m wearing a headset. 2 )Offensive line has to play to whatever QB strength is in the game. Rollout, dropback… SHOULD BE the other way around and play the QB to the strength of the OL. This is Mark Richts’ adjustment to make. 3 )UGA’s D weakness is shaped like an hourglass with the base just inside the opponents tackles, narrowing in then back out to the secondary. UT exploited this well. 4 ) 51-33, 84 pts…Who would have thunkit?

    Ainge also said there were no surprises from a Georgia defense that entered the game as the country’s No. 1-rated scoring defense.

    “We had such a good game plan and thought we knew what they were going to do, and that’s what they did,” Ainge said. “Credit our coaching staff, and we executed. They were only giving us a few different looks, and Coach [David] Cutcliffe did a great job figuring out when those looks were going to come and getting us in good plays.”

    Enough said. We should have learned from the auburn and west virginia games last year, or even the colorado and miss games this year. our DC is over his head. get him help, or get someone else.
