Georgia starts slow, then writes winning script (UPDATED)
If Dogs' comeback wasn't big enough statement, this was.
(UPDATED: 1:15 a.m.)
COLUMBIA, Mo. — By the time this night was over, Georgia had to be more than just somebody else’s memory.
Decades from now, there couldn’t be any warm-and-fuzzy storylines about how some newbie won its first SEC game, because the flip side to that would be that the Bulldogs had lost it. There couldn’t be the tale of how a long-standing program (Georgia) had stumbled in its conference opener for the third straight season, this time falling to a program (Missouri) that some questioned was even worthy of this leap.
But by the time the evening ended, Georgia didn’t have to worry about that. The Dogs had several early hiccups Saturday. They turned the ball over. They committed penalties. They trailed as late as 20-17 with less than three minutes left in the third quarter. Then they changed the script.
The Dogs scored the final 24 points of the game. They scored 38 in the final 30:30 of the game after managing only a field goal in the first 29:30. They won 41-20.
It’s too early to know if Georgia is a great team. But that is how great teams react. They take over games and look like they’re ready for the moment, especially when the opponent looks like it isn’t.
As the game ended, Georgia fans in one corner of Memorial Stadium, chanted, “Old man football! Old man football!” The reference was to the Missouri player who had mocked their style.
Big mistake by the Tigers. Fond memory for the Bulldogs.
“We all heard it — that was great,” quarterback Aaron Murray said.
“”Hilarious,” wide receiver Marlon Brown added.
Defense held Dogs in it until Aaron Murray got going.
It was 3-3 until late in the second quarter. Brown said, “I was thinking, ‘Wow, this really is ‘old man football’ — for both teams.”
But Georgia drove to a touchdown with 30 seconds left in the first half, and suddenly it couldn’t be stopped. In one stretch they scored on five of six possessions (four touchdowns and a field goal), although the last two touchdowns of the game were gimmes, set up by Missouri turnovers caused by linebacker Jarvis Jones: an interception and return to the Mizzou 1, and a sack and forced fumble at the 5.
“I think we showed people we can play,” Jones said. “In the first half, they threw a variety of punches at us, they showed us everything they had. In the second half we were more comfortable. And we made plays.”
Meanwhile, the Tigers unraveled. It started with their head coach, Gary Pinkel. He called for a fake punt early in the fourth quarter when Georgia led only 24-20. Some might call that the element of surprise. In reality, it was an awful message to send his players. It was like telling them, “We can’t win this playing normal football.” There is nothing wrong with calling a fake punt, but not at that point of the game.
Also, it failed. Punter Trey Barrow was stuffed on a fourth-and-11 run by Sheldon Dawson at the Tigers’ 38. The Dogs converted that into a field goal and outscored Missouri 17-0 from that points.
Jones: “That was a big turning point for us.”
Nobody went into Saturday expecting a blowout win. Georgia showed flaws last week against Buffalo (soft defensive line, off-target quarterback), was missing bodies (four defensive starters suspended) and was playing on the road against a solid opponent that obviously was pumped for its SEC debut.
But the one thing nobody in Athens wanted or expected was a reminder of last season’s first significant test of the season. Remember the Boise State game? The Bulldogs looked outcoached and overmatched physically by a perceived inferior team that night. They trailed 28-7 in the third quarter and lost 35-21.
That’s sort of what it looked like for a half (or more) against Missouri. The offensive line didn’t block well. Murray was off target. He frequently overthrew receivers, and the one time when he underthrew a receiver (Brown), the pass was intercepted — and on the first play after Georgia had recovered a Missouri fumble.
There were other problems. Malcolm Mitchell belatedly and foolishly decided to field a punt on a bounce and in traffic. Of course, he got hit and fumbled. The Dogs finished with 12 penalties, including five false starts. There were dropped passes. Placekicker Marshall Morgan made 52-and 41-yard field goals but missed an extra point and had another ricochet in off the upright.
But defense, despite also having some bumps, kept the Dogs in it until Murray and the offense got going. With Georgia trailing 20-17, Murray completed consecutive passes to Brown (40 yards), Michael Bennett (22) and Brown (11) again, the last one for a touchdown and a 24-20 lead.
Missouri panicked. It didn’t look ready for the moment. Pinkel’s fake punt backfired. It was over.
This memory was all Georgia’s.

Only a Tech fan would say they don’t care about being ranked. Tech fans accept their failures really well.
Please tell me why the top 25 matters. How would being ranked change our season? Arkansas, Florida, and Nebraska will be ranked next week. Its a completely meaningless beauty pageant. Especially this early in the season.

All American performance from Jones helped lead the defense. The D improved from last week. However, the OL needs consistency as does Murray’s pocket savvy, Bobo continues to be largely predictable in his play-calling. Dawgs have alotta work to prep for SC in a few weeks,

CMR’s decision to bench Crowell is questionable. If Crowell played the first half, score would not have been close. I understand discipline, but the performance of the team is more important than “proving a point” by benching a talented player like Crowell. Time to face reality.

As for the Dawgs….a road SEC win by 21 pts is fine by me. I never really worried that we would lose to Mizzou even when we were behind….we were clearly the better team.
Having said that…… we are still light years away from being compared to Alabama. BTW…so is LSU…Mett the sexual pervert has been far from impressive, and I predict he will be caught groping a co-ed at Shady’s bar and kicked off the team

“Playing a perfect game the first of the year does not guarantee that you will play that well at the end and playing a lousy game or two at the beginning of the year does not mean that you will play lousy at the end of the year.”
____________________________________________________________
You don’t have to worry about that. The only team on our schedule is South Carolina who plays Clemson, Georgia, and LSU, while all we play is just only them.
Playing a perfect game will never happen for a Mark Richt’s team. Instead, 12 years in a row now and counting we can only count on coming in here after the game and reading

Playing lousy game or two at the beginning of the year for Mark Richt’s teams means that, it just more of the same B.S. with our Offense and with our Special Teams.

@Dawgforreal-we beat Mizzouri!, ask the moderators to check our locations. They can do that for you. Since I’m not GTBob, they can tell you where I am and where he is. It won’t be the same place.
Now, question, what has you most upset at this point? Not being able to find the last big signature win? Or is it that three of your rivals have won BCS championships, UT/AUB/FL? Or that you didn’t know Missouri was unranked as they ran up and down the field on you?
Does beating a team like Missouri give you a sense of satisfaction? For me, beating Missouri because of between the ears mistakes at the end of the game is like beating South Carolina when they have Garcia. Oh wait, did you guys ever beat South Carolina when they had Garcia? Will someone look that up?

Congrats to UGA on a hard fought win…
I have to say though, that after having watched UGA in two games, I don’t think UGA is a great team. Murray is spotty, the defense isn’t as advertized, and the O-line is pretty weak. Given that, I honestly think that UGA is going to have big trouble in 2-3 games in the regular season. 9-3 looks pretty reasonable.

Oh and we have two BCS trophies. They’re very nice. Do you guys have one? Yes. I know. You don’t. But man did you win when Herschel (SP?) Walker played there like 30-40 years ago or something.

If our receivers didn’t drop so many passes, this game wouldn’t have been close. Having said that, Murray still missed some wide open receivers.
Our stable of running backs will improve…..O-line needs to gel some more.

MISSOURI IS A VERY GOOD TEAM HATERS….#9 IN OFFENSE LAST YEAR IN THE NATION….MOST PEOPLE PICKED AN UPSET. DIDNT HAPPEN. IF MOST PEOPLE WERE PICKING AN UPSET….MISSOURI MUST BE PRETTY GOOD WITH THEIR BALANCED OFFENSE OF OVER 3,000 YARDS PASSING AND 3,000 YARDS RUNNING LAST YEAR AND WITH THEIR QB RETURNING ALONG WITH SEVERAL HUGE RECEIVERS…UGA MADE BETTER ADJUSTMENTS AT THE HALF AS USUAL, AND WERE IN BETTER CONDITION IN THE 4TH AND THEREFORE CAPABLE OF MAKING BIG PLAYS. IF YOU ARE GASSED IN THE 4TH, HARD TO MAKE THE BIG PLAYS….UGA dominated the 4th quarter and 2nd half really. What are people hatin on ANYTHING for? HUH? YOU LOSERS! All of you. ESPECIALLY GT fans. Get a life cause you will NEVER have on in football as long as Mark Richt is coach at UGA….havent you figured that one out yet? The offense woke up. Richt went in there and snatched a knot in Bobo’s head and Murrays rear end and things turned around for the offense and both the offense and the defense were in better condition in the 4th. That was obvious. But saying Missouri was not a good team? They were a very good team and deserve to be ranked. Thats for sure. UGA;s offense was low and needs to start faster against Vandy, and I think they will. Vandy dint seem to play well on the road, not nearly as well as they do at home. ALL UGA was looking to do in the BIG PICTURE, you IGMOS, was surive and come out with a win and if you forget the first half which was basically a tie, UGA dominated the 2nd half, especially the 4th. More than doubled their score. Good win. 1-0 in the SEC and THAT IS THE BIG PICTURE. JUST WIN BABY. AND UGA WILL. AND THEY WILL. AND THE WILL NOT LOSE A GAME ALL SEASON.. SEE YOU IDIOTS ARE MISSING IT.
ALL UGA HAD TO DO WAS TO WEATHER THE STORM OF THE MISSING PLAYERS THIS GAME. AND THEY DID. NOW THEY HAVE A GREAT CHANCE TO GO UNDEFEATED.
SEE YOU HATERS IN THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WHEN UGA WILL BE #2 IN THE NATION BABY! YOU HATERS LIKE THAT? THE BIG PICTURE….WE WEATHERED THIS STORM, SURVIVED OUT TOUGHEST TEST AND WILL BE FULL STRENGTH AGAINST SOUTH CAROLINA AND WILL PAY THEM BACK BIG TIME.
GOING TO THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME RANKED #2 IN THE NATION. YOU STILL GOING TO BE HATING ON RICHT? YOU YOUNG AND DUMB IGNORANT LOSERS PROBABLY WILL BE STILL HATING ROFL!!!
ITS GOING TO BE A GEAT YEAR. WE WILL GO UNDEFEATED IN THE REGULAR SEASON AND JUST GET BETTR ABD BETTER EAND STRONGER AND STRONGER EACH AND EVERY GAME…ITS GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR NOW THAT WE GOT PAST THIS EARLY TOUGH TEST…..WE HAVE IMPROVED UPON LAST YEAR ALREADY!!!!! DONT U HATERS SEE THAT? DONT MATTER HOW. WE DID…AND LOOK AT US NOW HATERS….ON THE ROAD TO AN UNDEFEATED SEASON….YEP
10-2 is a good year! Right?

Next week: “We sure whipped FAU! Look out Vandy…”
Georgia will not really know if this team is any good until they play Tennessee and South Carolina back to back weeks. And no, I am not going to be happy with the win because the poor undisciplined play of the first half equals a loss in one or both of those games if it is not fixed.

Dawgs: A win is a win but need improvement in offense, defense, and special teams. Stats okay but stats do not feed the monkey, only W’s. Need to work on intensity and concentration, i.e., keeping “the eye on the prize”. Too many mistakes, reflecting poor coaching and/or lack of concentration. It is about “focus”. Must focus on the game, not on the cheerleaders.

Hey, last thought of the night, it is 1:19 in the am. Some of us have to go to work tomorrow, even on Sundays.
Anyways, the last thought comes from our friend Stewart Mandel. It’s a statement I want you guys to read very carefully. Which I know is hard. But this is from September 2010. By the way, who won the BCS that year… oh yeah, Auburn. Blew you out. Watched that game.
Now now, don’t worry, they won’t blow you out this year. Remember, we sent Jefferson over there in a Frasier jersey.
Anyways, parting thought as you come to realize UGA has no big wins in the past few years, no BCS trophy, struggled mightily against an unranked team whose seating in one endzone is in the grass and well, is rather irrelevant on the national stage:
“I’m with you, Dave. If Georgia runs off Richt this year, it will be textbook Clemson/Ole Miss Syndrome. (Note the example cited in that link: Minnesota. How’s that working out?) Historically, Georgia is more prestigious than either of those teams — but not as much as Dawgs fans like to think. In all my travels, I’m not sure I’ve ever come across a fan base whose self-perception is so far from reality. Georgia fashions itself a national power in the vein of Ohio State, USC, et. al., based primarily off one glorious three-year run 30 years ago with Herschel Walker (and some kick-butt years in the 1940s). Prior to this season, the Dawgs under Richt had vastly outperformed their historical “equilibrium,” and in fact Richt’s career winning percentage (.752) is the highest in school history (not counting Bobby Winston’s lone 5-1 season in 1894).”

Good, solid win. What do you morons want? Georgia beat a solid, experienced team tonight. They overcame sloppy play and playcalling. They won in a hostile environment in a league game. Franklin is a helluva football player. So I ask again… what do you want. 60-0? To complain about the Bulldogs’ performance is asinine. Good football teams find a way to win. That’s what Georgia did tonight.
