Can Dogs really ride a Willie Martinez defense?
If you’re going to watch a Georgia football game at a bar and grill, Allen’s in Athens is just about the perfect setting, what with its red and black walls adorned with Sports Illustrated covers and newspaper front pages chronicling great moments for the Bulldogs. The patrons, naturally, are pretty gung-ho Dogs fans, and on Saturday they were ready to whoop and applaud whenever the Georgia offense did anything worth cheering.
They didn’t get to whoop and holler much, unfortunately, spending most of their energy munching their burgers and homemade potato chips and wondering what happened to the team that marched downfield 80 yards for the opening score and why we didn’t see them again the rest of the game.
It seems premature to proclaim Mike Bobo’s latest group a bust after only one game, especially since the starting quarterback was coming off a couple of days of some sort of viral infection. But the signs weren’t good Saturday.
Joe Cox fumbles. (Bill Waugh / AJC special)
Joe Cox just didn’t have it. His passes generally were either high or behind his receivers. He held on to the ball too long a few times and had a fumble. He didn’t look confident. Whether that was the illness or a true reflection of his ability, we’ll have to wait and see. But considering his general ineffectiveness, you had to be puzzled why we didn’t see Logan Gray take more than one snap. I mean, with Cox in at QB the defense knows there’s absolutely no threat of him running. You also had to wonder why the “Wild Dawg” with freshman all-rounder Branden Smith was used only once, on that opening drive.
At tailback, Richard Samuel looked sharp early on and did manage to get 87 yards on 20 carries, but was never allowed to establish any rhythm as Bobo called a baffling game. And while Samuel is a bruising runner, he seems to get knocked off balance awfully easily. The Dogs had seven running plays on that successful first drive and then ran the ball only nine more times in the first half. The runs and passes ended up even by game’s end, but by the time Bobo tried to re-establish the running game, it was too late. Carlton Thomas didn’t do much running the ball, but got nice yardage on a third-down dump pass and had a good punt return that was negated by a flag. Unfortunately, he also had one of Georgia’s two fumbles.
Get well soon, Caleb!
A.J. Green led the Dogs’ receivers with four catches for 52 yards, but with Perrish Cox all over him most of the day he wasn’t much of a threat. Freshman tight end Orson Charles had a couple of good catches, but in general the receiving corps didn’t distinguish itself, with several incomplete passes hitting players in the hands. True, they weren’t that well thrown, but they could have been caught with a bit of extra effort.
And our much vaunted offensive line didn’t look all that dominating, even before Trinton Sturdivant went down with another knee injury. Cox had to rush way too many passes and the backs didn’t have that many big holes opened for them.
The ABC crew kept commenting on how surprisingly effective Oklahoma State’s much maligned defense was after the first drive, but I’m not sure whether they were that good (other than Perrish Cox) or if it wasn’t more a case of Georgia’s offense being that bad. If the Dogs can’t move the ball against OSU, the outlook for the SEC wars is pretty scary.
Defensively, it was a pretty good day. Willie Martinez’s team delivered some hard hits, broke up some passes, kept the OSU running game in check much of the day, made Zac Robinson look fairly ordinary and held the Cowboys to well under what they usually score, despite being left in the lurch by the offense’s turnovers in Georgia territory. Dez Bryant only got three catches, though two of them were touchdowns (and on one of those our secondary fell asleep and let Bryant blaze past them). But, as was the case last year, the Dogs couldn’t seem to buy a takeaway, with several should-have-been interceptions sailing through Georgia defenders’ hands in the first half.
As Mark Richt said afterward, turnovers were the key to the game — the ones the Dogs gave up and the ones they didn’t take.
Special teams were a mixed bag. The punting game was in good shape except for the illegal blocks that nullified lengthy returns by Thomas and Prince Miller. But the kickoff game is still a disaster. How long will Richt let Jon Fabris continue fiddling while Rome burns?
And seven penalties for Georgia might have looked good against OSU’s 15, but it was still too many and didn’t show much improvement despite the preseason emphasis on cutting down on flags. If extra running and up-and-downs in practice doesn’t work, perhaps benching a few folks who commit infractions would be more effective.
All in all, it was a game that raised more questions than it answered. Right now it looks like the Dogs will have to depend on the defense to keep them in games. And with Martinez’s outfits not having the most stellar record of consistency over the past couple of seasons, that isn’t a comfortable prospect.

Well, the silver lining is we only got 11 more games till we can pack it in. That was a butt-whomping. There ain’t no other way of seeing it. And to top it off the Falcons cut the only two Dawgs on the team. I don’t know how I’m going to face all those Tech geeks down at the warehouse Tuesday a.m. Have a good Sabbath everybody and you’re excused from church on account of God wants you to get ready to watch the NASCAR race down at Hampton.

A very confusing game offensively for the Dawgs. Why no Logan? Is Cox’s arm strength really that week or am I just spoiled from watching Stafford zip them. Samuel seems to hit the ground on minimal contact.
It seemed we could not put any pressure on their quarterback but when you look at the stats it looks like they did their job. I feel Martinez had a good game plan.
I have confidence in Coach Richt and I feel he will make adjustments.

Fire Bobo the play calling was terrible with the exception of the first drive. I have never seen an OC have a system that works then completely abandon it after an 80 yd touchdown drive to start a game. The play calling was reminescent of a Bobby Petrino offense. At one point they ran the exact same play three times in a row for a total of 4 yards.

Your silver lining is that you didn’t give up but 24 points against what will probably be a high scoring offense (at least against the rest of the top heavy Big 12). On offense, better hope for a miracle. Hey, a 8-5 or 7-6 season is not that bad ever so often. Everybody has then occasionally.

Oh, NC Dawg, watching that absolutely pitiful performance yesterday is EVERY reason to panic now.
Joe Cox is simply not cut out to be an SEC QB. He’s got just about the WEAKEST arm I think I’ve ever seen.
Now you morons who’ve been down on Stafford the last three years can shut the frak up. Your guy got in and he STINKS.
Again, Mark Richt proves that he’s not willing to do what it takes to win. He refuses to fire his BFF Martinez. He refuses to sit his Coach’s Pet, Joe Cox.
The team is in general disarray.
And I can’t wait for Altamaha and the rest to tell us we’re just not that talented, and that the coaching staff is awesome and every other full of crap LIE they can think of when you know what?
WE ARE FULL OF TALENT.
But the coaching staff SUCKS. And that’s the unvarnished truth.

I’m sick of this crap, there is no consistence. Coach Richt need to fire some people, Bobo! What can of game calling was that, why not spread out field with the WR, that had to be the worst game ever under coach Richt. The way they played, we may go 6-6. Sorry to say.

Joe Cox – Highschool arm at best, the guy was behind and late every throw, even the TD pass, what is Richt and Bob smokin…check
O-line – completely average at best, did not control and push the 93rd defense around at all, terrible showing of when we get to the SEC….check
D-line – MOST dissapointing group of the game, not 1 time did they pressure the QB, it had to come from a corner blitz…..check
D-Tackling – Once again, we’de rather “bumb” than wrap our opponents, NO FUNDAMENTALS WILLIE, please refer to the Bama/Va Tech game last night, that was a clinic, you might learn a thing or two……check
Special Teams – while I must admit punter Drew Butler had a really fine game, out Special teams let us down opening the 3rd Qtr and handing Ok St a 75 KO return due to one of many terribly short kick-offs. Notice Ok St kicked it in or out of the end zone every time, whats the matter Fabris, no soccer players in Georgia??? …..Check
Going to be a long season if this is what we have.
Tenn looks hungry even though they played a patsy, but did to them like a team has to. When UGA plays a D-2 school we usually win by 35 or so, not 63.
LSU looks very formidable again with a QB double threat with rocket arm and lightening legs. Their D is not great, but very fast with alot of athletes
UF is UF, they will STAMP 60 on us at this rate, I dont care who they just played, we better get more QB pressure or God help us
SC may be the only one that we will compete with, but I gotta believe their defense is much more superior to Ok St and we all saw what happened with them
Arkansas – really sucked last year but supposedly will be much improved, but we gotta go there and play them. Winnable, but better have a better game plan than this one.
Insects must be pollinating over this one, still saw poor tackling from our D-line…..check
Dogs could lose 6 this year….check

Poorly called game by Bobo. I guess he wanted Cox to get his feet under him again before putting in Gray or Smith. Charles had a terrible drop on 3rd down. It seemed to go down hill after the failure to call the pass interference against AJ. We need to get back to what was working early on…running and change of pace w/ Smith & Gray. Cox will be fine, but I’m concerned with the receiving corps.

It’s funny to me how every year we are ranked up there with Florida, Usc, ad Lsu in recruiting, yet they all have National Championships and we don’t. We have better recruiting classes than Florida and there playing for their 3rd NC in 4 Years, how is that? Mark Richt is a good coach, but not a great coach. He doesn’t have the personnel he needs from bobo to martinez, and doesn’t have the balls to fire them. Something needs to change fast. All that wasted tallent every year because of bad coaching. Pretty soon recruits will see this and go elswhere.

I hope every UGA fan that trashed Stafford the last 3 years watched the game yesterday. He and Moreno were the ONLY reasons we weren’t 5-7 last year. If this is the best UGA has to offer at quarterback and tailback (my 2 year old has better balance than Samuel) then recruiting has really fallen off. Defensively, that is a very good offense and Coach Martinez’ unit did a very admirable job to keep them in check. We’re going to have to play Aaron Murray and that is very disappointing to have to play a true freshman at QB.

WHY all the calls for Aaron Murray?
Logan Grey is a dual threat with an arm that’s WAY better than Cox’s (I know that’s not saying much).
And before everyone says, “He’s the back-up for a reason,” remember, this is the SAME bunch of coaches, Richt included, who redshirted KNOWSHON, and then made him split carries with the AVERAGE Thomas Brown because Brown had seniority.
Remember that.
Logan Grey can PLAY. But will this staff of morons (Richt included) give him a chance?

I saw a OSU get a generous spot after getting stuffed on 4th and goal which directly led to them going up 17-7. I saw a R. Jones get a 15 yard penalty on a clean hit which directly led to another OSU td. I then turned the game off.

with all of the bad and confusion with the offense, OSU was still handed 14 points with horrible calls and yes bad calls can turn a game sour in a second. Everyone is saying OSU had more penalties, but not in such a way to give us 14 points.

Joe Cox is not fit to be this team’s QB. He is not fit to be an SEC QB at all. This is not up for discussion. He is mediorcre and has no arm strength. He is Joe T III, II. Let the Yellow Jacket fans continue to rip us a new one, because until CMR figures this out and stops acting like Bobby Cox by remaining loyal, the team will be utterly mediocre and the Yellow Jackets will continue to have their day in the sun.

Well, I thought the defense actually played a half-way decent game. The offense was what hurt us. Of course, in my opinion, the score to this game should’ve been 17-10 OSU. Can someone explain to me when the Big XII rulebook calls for the officials to penalize a team for “roughing the receiver” and when it doesn’t? If it hadn’t been for that stupid and ill-timed penalty OSU wouldn’t have scored that last TD.

I see the calls for the scalps of Martinez, Bobo and now of Fabris have already started. Bear Bryant coached from 1946 thru 1982. He rarely fired a coach, if at all. He did not have to coach with 24 hour sports networks or the internet, so he didn’t have to deal with that issue as coaches do now. Everyone is an expert. Richt will know when to make the change. I do not see much mention of the two turnovers or the long kick-off return that set up the scores, or how the high powered offense of Ok. St. was held scoreless thru much of the first half. There is coaching and then there is execution. You can coach them up, but it is up to the players as well. Fans now see execution, not of how things get done, but of the execution of a coaches’ career!

Are Alabama’s players really that much better than ours? Are Florida’s? (probably this year). Year in and year out we have all the talent in the world but we are always “close” (a CMR favorite). Why are we not there yet? It all boils down to coaching. Its Richts 9th year and we have still not played for a NC, or really been in the hunt for one. He lets the destiny of our team be determined by two unproven coordinators and a group of no name coaches. I think we can win a NC under Richt but hes gonna have to make some BIG changes in the Staff. With the exception of the true patsies on the schedule, I dont don who we can beat this year. This could be very very ugly.

How long before we get a better QB in the game? We have Aaron Murry and he needs to be playing. He needs to be getting experience because he is our future. Joe Cox should have transferred to a smaller school and enjoyed his collage experience. The coaches should have told him the truth. Football is about winning, especially in the SEC, and the coaches’ job is to put the best people on the field to accomplish this end. I am glad Coach Richt is our coach because he is a right person and he will take the steps necessary to right this ship. Go Dogs

All week long you dog fans talked smack, now your making excuses, no wonder the dogs are a run of the mill second tier program. Your next beating comes this week, Spurrier will make a mockery of the dogs in Athens. Screw them hedges, who wants a bunch of trees on a football field? The dogs must be mentally challenged

Umm… nochancedogs, I hope you saw that the “roughing the receiver” call came when the OK State player had his hand on the ball, and about five minutes later Joe Cox threw a pass and the defender hit the UGA receiver from the blindside just as the ball got there, yet the refs did not call that as “roughing the receiver.” Both teams got away with stuff, I’m not gonna argue you on that, but big time calls like personal fouls need to be the same across the board, not on a case-by-case basis.

George – Sorry, but I don’t see “all the talent.” I see a very less than average QB and running back trying to play big-time college football behind a very average o-line and one good receiver who couldn’t get open. I see a defense that put absolutely zero pressure on the opposing QB, who fortunately for us turned out not to be nearly as good as billed. I see less than average talent at defensive end and over-rated talent at defensive tackle. I see a team that is not in great shape conditioning wise.
Finally, I see a coaching staff that is playing an average team on the road (yes OK ST is way over rated) and is only 3 points down at the half (due to poor play calling and a killer turnover – get used to that BTW). I’m thinking: well surely we can make the proper adjustments at half time and win this game. Then what do I see in the second half? I see us get out coached by “I’m a man! I’m 40.” Please tell me this is a night mare and all will be better in the morning.

Sorry dogs, I should be nicer, but the reality is 5-7 or even 4-8 could be possible this year. No O, shaky D, less than average QB and RB, suspect coaching, both OC and DC, and a head coach that lacks the drive of a Sabin or a Meyer, and you have the makings of a program going in the wrong direction. You probably need to fire the whole staff, Richt included, and start over. The down side is you will have to suffer through a few 2 or 3 win seasons, though that is not much worse than what you will see this year. Sorry dogs, you will not see championship football for quite awhile, except when you watch Florida,Alabama, and LSU play. I guess it was a nice dream for you, to bad it will not come true

The offensive play calling was pathetic. Its a disturbing trend. A succesfull open drive that is “scripted” for a week in practice and then once its up to BOBO to make a real decision on a play call he shows he can’t handle it. Its trademark Bobo play calling. It seems like the Offense comes out for a series and BoBo says “I don’t think we passed the ball enough yet, I’m going to pass on 1st and 2nd down then run it on 3rd down. The defense will never expect a run on 3rd and long”. There’s no consistency. This team will need to be about 65-35 run to pass split to have a shot at winning.
The Kickoff game is horrible. We continue to insist on kicking high short kicks that give the opposing team field position. While We also insist on returning kicks that are about 8yds deep in the end zone. Resulting in horrible field position for us. There is no rationale to the kicking game.
The defense played good. I was at the game in the endzone 4 rows up from where OSU converted that 4th&2. Several OSU people were around me extactic about the spot. My bigger question is that I looked up at our goal line Defense and we were missing Owens, Curran and Atkins on goal line. Don’t you want your 3 best defenders in the game in situations where points are going on the board either 7 or 3? Hopefully 3…

I’ve been listening to the excuses being made for the last 4 years and I’m sick of it.
Its time for CMR to stand up, take responsibility for the coaching staff and its mistakes. Some of these coaches need to go. I can’t watch another season of the same stuff I’ve seen for the last 8 years. The first 4 were D. Green, D. Pollack, Van Gorder and co. and there was hope. WE were building to win Championships.
The last 4 years? Excuses, excuses, excuses. Its always great to beat Tech, Getting bombed by UF 6 of the las 8 years stinks! And there were other losses during the last 8 years that elite programs do not suffer. Coaching is the only common denominator that I see for these average and sometimes poor results.
Defense under WM – not well coached, great talent and fire – still players cannot totally make up for a poor D-scheme and obviously not being prepared by the coaches.
Offense – A great drive -disappears for a quarter or most of a half. In this game, they disappeared after 1 drive never to be heard from or seen again. Poor, Poor game plan – even worse paly calling – Talent alone cannot overcome that.
Special teams – average at best – other than punter and kicker. Less than steller coaching here.
CMR is a good, decent man who I admire greatly, and he’s been good for UGA, still he is turning a blind eye to whats going on around him and I don’t understand why. We all knew last year this staff had to change, that this coaching staff was not up to the task of preparing these kids to play in pressure games. Yet nothing has changed. Why?
So keep mmaking excuses UGA fans – Average is ok. Right?
Average wife, average car, average job, average life- Never aspire to be more in life. Average is good with CMR and UGA.
As has been stated here many times – GA has all the talent in the world, but they can’t ever take that next step to a National Championship caliber team. “We’re always close!” I’m sick of hearing that bunk!

Cox looks like Joe Tereshinski except his passes don’t look like he’s having a convulsion that produces a football from somewhere in his body…
Our coaching staff had a great 1st drive laid out, but as usual got outcoached badly once a little ‘on the fly’ adjusting became necesarry.
The defense looked pretty good all things considered.
It’s only the 1st week, but next week is a toss up and will be like watching two tards finger paint. We should beat ASU (but I wouldn’t put a nickel on it), who knows what we’ll do in Arkansas, could lose to LSU @ home, could lose to UT in Knexville, probably beat Vandy (probably), Flarada will beat us by how ever many they choose to beat us by, will beat Tenn Tech, might lose to Kentucky, might lose to Auburn, and Tech will drill us…

Defense – Played OK. However, was that due to OSU stoppign themselves most of the game?
Poor tackling again. Blown assignments, On some plays it looked like the D hadn’t even been prepared for or seen on film. No turnovers again.
On the personal fould penalty – that was a poor call, just plain bad. However, great teams at some point have to overcome adversity. Under WM this defense never overcomes adversity. Bad call agains us, well, we’ll just give up the TD and live to play another day.
What kind of psychy is that? Poor coaching is what that is!
Did y’all notice how Bama and Va Tech continuosly overcam adversity last night? I won’t say VA Tech is a great team, but they do have good coaching! Thats the difference.
The landscap in the SEC has changed and UGA has not changed with it. Les Miles, Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Houston Nutt are all great coaches who get the most out of the talent they have. UGA continously under acheives!

“I mock the dogs who are whining about the officials calls. They were the correct calls, it is what the dogs get for playing dirty.”
And everyone else in the world is mocking you, because you’re an idiot troll. Even the announcers were getting on the officials’ case. But they’re probably just UGA homers too, huh?
