Georgia will go 9-3 this season, and here’s how
Georgia coach Mark Richt faces a tough start to this season. (Brant Sanderlin/AJC)

♦
Sept. 3, Boise State (Ga. Dome), 8 p.m.
No. 5 Boise State has been outscored 121-40 in its past three games against SEC teams: Georgia (48-13 in 2005), South Carolina (41-14 in 2002) and Arkansas (32-13 in 2001). I like the Broncos anyway. I’m not sure Georgia’s defense has an answer for quarterback Kellen Moore (left), and as terrific as Aaron Murray is, I suspect it will take a little while to get used to life without A.J. Green. The Dogs’ cast of running backs is obviously thin (and Carlton Thomas is suspended for this game). If freshman Isaiah Crowell comes out like a wrecking ball, all bets are off. But I’m betting not.
Prediction: Bulldogs lose.
Sept. 10, South Carolina, 4:30 p.m.
Marcus Lattimore rushed for 182 yards and two touchdowns in the Gamecocks’ 17-6 win over Georgia in Columbia last season. On paper, No. 12 South Carolina should repeat as SEC East champions if Stephen Garcia doesn’t mess things up. But he very well might. The Dogs should be a little more comfortable in Athens than in the Georgia Dome. They’ll also feel a bit desperate after the opening loss to Boise State. The defense steps up just enough, and Murray will make one more play than Garcia in the end.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Sept. 17, Coastal Carolina, 1 p.m.
If the Dogs are 0-2 going into this game, Sanford Stadium is going to look like Tombstone, Ariz., post-shootout at the OK Corral. Either way, this one is a gimme. Coastal Carolina is an FCS (formerly Division I-AA) school that plays in a 9,000-seat stadium. The Chanticleers play these games for the paycheck — and to strike fear in their health insurance company.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Sept. 24, at Mississippi
The Rebels finished 4-8 last season after going 19-8 in coach Houston Nutt’s first two years, and they’ll be no better this year. Strange, considering the coach annually signs like 7,000 players for 20 spots in recruiting every year. Not much is expected from the Ole Miss defensive front, so this is a good chance for the Dogs’ offensive line and Crowell to get rolling.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Oct. 1, Mississippi State
Notwithstanding the losses to South Carolina and Arkansas that preceded it, Georgia’s 2010 season really fell apart with its 24-12 loss in Starkville (its first loss to Mississippi State since 1974). At 0-3 in the SEC, the season was over. That won’t be the case this time. No. 20 MSU lost some guys along the defensive front, and winning in Athens is something they’ve done only twice (1914 and 1956, with Georgia winning nine straight at home since).
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Oct. 8, at Tennessee
So things are rolling now, right? Four consecutive wins since the loss to Boise State and 3-0 in the SEC? Now comes trouble. I know. It’s Tennessee. But freshman quarterback Tyler Bray won four of his five starts down the stretch (16 touchdowns, seven interceptions), and coach Derek Dooley (left) gets his players to play hard, if not always smart. Mark Richt’s Dogs have been shellacked in their past two trips to Knoxville (combined score: 80-33). And I don’t believe Georgia will win every game it’s supposed to.
Prediction: Bulldogs lose.
Oct. 15, at Vanderbilt
Vandy ranked 110th in the nation in offense last season, and the wonder is that there were 10 teams worse. The Commodores scored 96 points in eight SEC games. Auburn scored 306. But at least Vandy beat Ole Miss. If the Dogs’ defense doesn’t smack Vandy, coordinator Todd Grantham may not want to board the bus afterward.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Oct. 29, Florida (Jacksonville), 3:30 p.m.
A game against Vandy and a bye week is about as good a setup as Georgia can have against its annual tormentors. But last year it had Vandy and Kentucky leading into Florida Week and still lost to a Gators team that had lost three straight (including 10-7 at home to Mississippi State). Florida won’t be great this season. But the offensive resume of new assistant Charlie Weis tells us that he’ll probably make something of quarterback John Brantley.
Prediction: Bulldogs lose.
Nov. 5, New Mexico State
Here’s your reach for positive karma. The last time Georgia played New Mexico State was in 2002, when Richt won his first SEC title in Athens. The Aggies are dreadful. They lost games last year by scores of 42-10, 42-16, 59-0, 52-6 and 59-24. Another walkover.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Nov. 12, Auburn
That guy at quarterback for No. 23 Auburn is gone. So is half of the defense. All together, 18 starters are gone from the BCS title team. You can’t take anything away from a coach who goes undefeated through the SEC and wins a national championship, but we’re about to find out how good Gene Chizik really is. Expect the Tigers to run the ball a lot with Michael Dyer, but he won’t be enough.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Nov. 19, Kentucky
Coach Joker Phillips said, “I expect us to be in the title race longer than we have been.” I’m not sure what that means. Five minutes? But Georgia can’t laugh too much. This used to be one of those automatic wins, but not anymore. The Dogs are only 3-2 in the past five meetings, and there have been way too many chaotic moments against Big Blue.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Nov. 26, at Georgia Tech
Since Tech upset Georgia and ripped off pieces of the Sanford Stadium hedges in Paul Johnson’s first season, the Dogs have won the past two meetings. The Jackets probably won’t be as bad this season as some forecast. But it’s difficult to know how far along Tevin Washington and/or Synjyn Days will be at quarterback, and we can be fairly certain Murray will be very good for Georgia.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
No. 5 Boise State has been outscored 121-40 in its past three games against SEC teams: Georgia (48-13 in 2005), South Carolina (41-14 in 2002) and Arkansas (32-13 in 2001). I like the Broncos anyway.

Columbia…..losing Mettenburger was not hugh. He would be 2nd string at UGA this year. Maybe even 3rd string. He is 3rd string at LSU also this year. I wish him well but his departure never gave the UGA faithful a moments pause.

UGA has a very winnable schedule this year, not having to play any of the 3 best in the SEC West. I think they go 9-3 but start off 0-2. I think they beat UT and lose another 1 along the way.
UF may surprise but the odds are against that. New staff, new systems and murderous schedule. They’ll be improved over last year but the record might not show it. They should be up for the top in 2013 however.

Tampagatorhater…….
When and if you win a national championship, and since you have not won one since 1980, you will have the right to be as obnoxious as you want to be at that time. But since Alabama has a lot of those, you can therefore understand their right for obnoxious behavior……behavior you obviously would love to exhibit for just cause. Until then, you will just have to deal with those who have recently experienced what it is like to be a fan of a national champion. And, until then, you will just have to settle for being highly jealous of us……..and HATE us for being fans of championship programs. And good luck with that.

AJC Sports are such “homers”. Seems like every year UGA fans are the last to realize they aren’t as good as they imagined, and the AJC Sports dept. has a lot to do with those unrealistic expectations. Your SC game forecast is a good example of the wishful thinking that fluffs up your coverage.
Come November, when UGA fans are sitting around wondering what went wrong, they should pull up this column for reference. UGA goes 8-4, or possibly even 7-5 this year. They have no realistic chance in the SEC and will go bowling in some place like Shreveport.
Nothing against the Bulldogs, but you should shoot straight in your analysis.

Yep, just like Zabrowski was gonna tear us apart in 05′ how’d that work out for him. The only two games that truly concern me are SC & FL. Lattimore will not go for 182 this year. Double Jeffrey on the outside and make Garcia beat you (I don’t think he can, Dawgs win). FL on the other hand I cannot and will not predict any victories here (because, well everyone knows why.Dawgs lose). Therefore, 11-1.

Florida has come back to rest of the field now. No Tebow anymore. And no excuse to lose to them on any kind of regular basis. They have all world recruiting down there, so they will always be strong, but like Tiger Woods in golf, they have lost the intimidation factor. If the coaches we have cannot get this game turned around now, I say clean house with them !

@Rev Ignatowski,
You bash the AJC for predicting a 9-3 record for UGA but your first prediction was 8-4? So the AJC is one game off of your prediction but yet you are critical?
@Steve,
Essentially this is a UGA blog. When the blog predicts how UGA season will unfold I think it pretty much makes it a UGA blog. Just because SC was mentioned in the 2nd line does not make it a Carolina blog.

Here’s how I look at this season- Georgia’s defense should be a lot better and Murray will have a very good season. Our running game will struggle early, but get much better as the year goes on. I believe the reason Georgia did so good earlier in Richt’s coaching career was because of the quarterbacks they had. You need a good quarterback to win in the SEC and Greene was the reason we won a lot of our games. I expect Murray to carry us to some big wins this season. Go Dawgs!
RTR all year long!

Murray is a heck of a player, I’ll give him that. Seems like a good guy, too. I hope he beats Florida, but I know Alabama will! It’s gonna be 3 in a row! RTR!

Big L,
Silliest comment of the year so far. 18 of the last 21. #1 recruiting class in 2010. Worst UF team in years at 8-5 while UGA went 6-7 with losses to all teams with a pulse. Yeah, UGA’s much better than UF. I hope the players think the same thing when they come to Jax. If they do, it won’t even be close.

UGA will have the right personnel needed to win each game on their schedule, but as they haven’t gone undefeated in decades, it takes some real wishful thinking from us Dawgs fans to think we’ll be a title contender. However, I’m thinking wishfully.

Something to consider, Schultz…statistically speaking, Aaron Murray has already experienced a season without AJ Green. He missed the first four games and was a total non-factor in three others. Not trying to nitpick and there are many legitimate reasons to think Georgia won’t win more than nine games this year (personally, I think they’ll only win eight). But losing AJ Green will be the least of many factors. The biggest concern I see is that Georgia lacks any depth at all where it matters most…RB and OL. We’re paper thin at the two positions most prone to injuries. That’s trouble in the SEC. In the unlikely event Georgia can avoid the injury bug, however, the schedule shapes up quite nicely this year.

Jeff, if you’re correct, the Tenn loss will be the nail in Richt’s coffin and another loss to UF will be the hammer. Personally, I think we’ll beat Tenn; however, the MS game will be a toss-up.

Alabama was 4th in the SEC West last year.
——————————————————————————————————-
You forgot to add. Finished No. 10 in the final BCS rankings. While playing 7 teams with open weeks prior to playing Alabama. That is what is called respect. All the while a UGA team is 6-7 unless you are reading plaques that said 7-6. Either way, it was a horrible record for UGA.
Add to that the UF Gators had the worst team they have had in over 8 years and still beat a NFL caliber team at UGA. But yet after 30 years I guess the Bulldawg nation rates their success on how much merchandise is sold to its fan base. If that is the case…welcome to 6th nationally. Do they give out trophies for merchandising?

I think we beat Boise, but it is a toss up at best against S.C. I don’t think we lose to Florida this year, but by the time the game rolls around, we will have a pretty good idea of how this team will play. I think our D will handle Tenn. OPf course the tech. fans are on here mouthing off like they are even relevant, but chalk that up as a win for UGA. I think the MSU and Auburn games will be tougher than some predict but if the DAWGS are ready and play with intensity, they can pull out wins. I see UGA losing three games this year, but still having a pretty good year, even with the inexperience UGA has.
GO DAWGS and GATA

Playing at USC early, Alabama and Kentucky middle and back to back, Florida and Auburn late is a difficult stretch. The good thing about it is outside the O line the experience UGA will get this year will aid in their improvement. However if the Team fails this year, contrary to what is being written, the coaching stafff will change and with change we all seem to either stay neutral or back up a little.

@Country Boy: So SC is better coached than UGA. Why don’t you check out the Richt vs Spurrier record and tell me how many times each has won the SEC Championship. Richt has jettisoned his problem children but Spurrier can’t bring himself to boot problem child Garcia. Perhaps Spurrier is in some way related or lost a bet, No single college player has had more suspensions and various other rabblerousing activities than Garcia. Had Spurrier booted SG 2 years ago he probably would have a little less talented QB but he could relax at night occasionally. SG will stumble again before the season ends. Even Joe Don Looney(Oklahoma) could/did not match Garcia’s activities.
Can it be true?

There is little chance that UGA loses to Tennessee. The Vol defense is dismantled and young. That has a chance to be a very high scoring game on both sides of the ball. MSU is really loaded and for those who saw them in Jacksonville on January 1 saw Mullen play a ton of youngster who have a full grasp of his system. His system does work. MSU changed defensive staffs but they are still returning 18 starters and a great deal of beef on both sides of the ball. They are athletic.
Auburn is just young and Malzahn and his misdirection will keep them in many many games, but that defense is going to get lit up. It will be a long season for Auburn and one can expect the quarterback situation to be very fluid for them all year.
Now at UGA, the one major key that no one is mentioning is the fact that Georgia goes as Murray goes. If the O line cannot keep him injury free it may be a very hard act for UGA to spread the field and keep teams off balanced. UGA’s defense will be better if they can get a great deal of 3 and outs, if not the depth will make it very hard for UGA to win some of those tight games.

I think Georgia loses to Boise but then upsets SC…..then loses to Florida (because Florida has a better team and better coaches)…..but still wins the East because of their, in relative terms, easy SEC schedule. Florida loses to LSU down there at night, loses to Bama in a close game in THE SWAMP (although I think there will be a possibility of an upset at night), and SC in Columbia…..and finishes 3rd in the East because of their very difficult SEC schedule. Then, in 2012, Florida goes undefeated in the SEC with Driskell and Brissett at the helm…..and once again contends to the NC title.

I think both Georgia and Florida are going to have their hands full with the Vols this year.

Come to think of it, I am not sure if Georgia fans should not be wishing for that this year. Dooley vs. Richt as your head coach……duh Dooley is the type of head coach that could take you to the promised land….and out of dreamland.

Keep on thinking Florida is “average” and you will lose the “9 out of 11.” Florida’s talent and coaches are far from “average.” Wake up from your dream world. Go to any football site and look at Florida’s roster. It is loaded and ready to Chomp. It is all about Brantley this year…….but Driskell is already looking polished for the Gators….and he will push Brantley this year….and is ready to step in if needed.
Russ---Once Again the Temporary Mascot (can't keep those replacements alive)

Well, fans, you’ll be seeing my new look soon. Yep, Ol’ Russ will be wearing white side pads, because he expects to be kicked a lot by his own team when they lose to Boise State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Auburn, and Florida. I may even wear a pad over my butt to keep the painters away. I’ve seen these boys practice, and it’s only an even bet they can find the commode when they have to go.
You heard it here first: Richt becomes a full-time missionary after this season, no little Bulldog fans will be born nine months from the end of the season, and Ol’ Russ gets permanent, forced retirement in the Savannah area, while the Georgia Bull Dogs take on a new mascot, The Rented Mule—as in beat like . . .
I'm just saying

8&4 at best. They won’t beat SC and I think they will lose one or two more and Richt will get fired.
