For Dogs, the colors were black … and blue
Is Joe Cox pointing to the next Gator he'll be throwing the ball to? (Bob Andres / AJC)
Florida defeated the Georgia Bulldogs again Saturday in Jacksonville with a large assist from … the Georgia Bulldogs.
After spotting the Gators two touchdowns in the first quarter, Georgia managed to pull back within four points. But the two bugaboos that have plagued the Dogs all season derailed any chance of staying in the game: penalties and turnovers.
The Dogs had eight penalties in the first half. They fixed that problem in the second half, drawing only one flag, but switched to their other favorite way of shooting themselves in the foot, turnovers, with four.
I don’t think that’s what they had in mind when Mark Richt and his staff have said the Dogs need to play “balanced” football.
Starter Joe Cox was lifted halfway through the fourth quarter after throwing his third pick of the half, and then we got the answer to the question of why we haven’t seen more of Logan Gray at QB this season. He is an absolutely terrible passer. The interception he threw from the Georgia end zone to Brandon Spikes, who literally walked in for a score, should become part of an instructional video on how not to play quarterback.
There were positives in the game for the Dogs, mainly in the second quarter when they showed their resiliency and threatened to make a game of it. While Florida looked on its first two drives like it was going to move the ball at will, the Georgia defense stiffened after that and was doing what it could to keep the game in hand, considering the Gators have Tim Tebow. But the second half giveaway staged by Cox and the Georgia offense put the defense in an untenable position, giving Florida a short field too many times. And Mike Bobo actually called a decent game, mixing up the run and pass and moving the ball … until a penalty or turnover would kill the drive.
Basically, the lack of discipline that has characterized recent Richt teams undercut everything good that they did. It’s tough enough to beat a team like Florida if you play your best football. Make that many mistakes and it’s impossible.
One last thought: I’m sure the idiot fringe of Dogs fandom will blame the loss on Georgia reviving the black britches for the first time in 11 years and breaking out black helmets for the first time in UGA history. That’s asinine. The color of what you’re wearing doesn’t cause you to commit penalties or turn the ball over.
Florida won because they’re the better team. But Georgia made it easy for them with too many stupid mistakes.

I disagree with the comments about Logan Gray. He might not be the best passer but then, he has not been given a real opportunity to play either. I don’t think he is starter material, but this was not a fair test.
I agree that uniforms had nothing to do with this game. Turnovers and penalties killed us.

I’m not blaming the uniforms on the loss…but I am blaming the stupidity in putting emphasis on the uniforms instead of coaching and performance. We had more important things to focus on instead of gimmicks…really tired of the gimmicky Mark Richt.

Yes, Mr. Richt’s little gimmick did nothing to help the hapless. Team is still very undisciplined, badly coached and just plain dumb. They seem to be better suited for street mugging or hot-dogging. Your down 14 in 4th quarter and finally make a tackle and celebrate like you really did something. This program is in a downward spiral and it is time for Mr. Richt to hit the road jack. Pack up the water-girl and aim for Talahassee.

This is the most undiscplined and unintelligent team I have ever seen. I was calling for a close game, and would have been if UGA could get out of their own DAMN way. Is Cox truly the best QB we have. Every freaking pass to AJ was high and behind. He will get AJ hurt before the season is over.
I don’t want to hear crap about bogus flags. Every flag was legit. Once again a CMR coached team shows up unprepared. UF never stopped UGA the entire first half, UGA stopped themselves time and time again. Will this season ever end. Hopefully UGA will lose the rest of the games and CMR A$$ will be kicked to the curb along with his best bud, CWM. This team is beyond pathetic. They are so pathetic that I could say CUM and Tebow felt sorry for them.
Hmmmmm, I couldn’t agree more with your post.

UGA can replace all the coaches, however I just don’t think they have the players they have had in the past. But I’ll have to agree at this point, The defense is awfull. I don’t know if its the quality of personel or bad coaching.Most likely its both. But the bulldog nation is not going to put up with this much longer.

It does not matter what they wear, I personally liked the uniforms, however this team is awful. How do you have two weeks to prepare and still look as lost as they did the first fifteen minutes of the game. Our coaching staff sucks bottomline. Our soft a$$ coverage in the secondary, linebackers who don’t know what to do, and that includes Curran, and defensive line that does not know how to contain the edge. I say try some new players on defense because JONES, EVANS, DOBBS, and MILLER suck. Why not give more freshman a try, the season is over anyway. We will be lucky to finish 6 and 6.

Tired of the gimmicks. Tired of the penalties. Tired of the soft defenses. Just tired. I don’t mind losing to a better football team if we play with discipline and give a good effort. One out of two for the Dawgs on this one. When I saw the uniforms, I just rolled my eyes. I mean seriously…are you kidding me??? Enough of this crap. I understand we have holes this year, but that was embarrassing. Even the announcers looked a little embarrassed. Joe Cox…big heart and a great kid but he’s out of his league. The O line…breakdowns in blocking assignments put your QB in a bad spot. Show some pride and get your head out of your butt. Mr. Ealey…getting there. Looked good for a true freshman. Defense…hard to tell…your coach stinks and doesn’t seem to really understand the game of football. Time for change.

Richt needs a total come to Jesus (haha no pun intended for the reverend) at the end of this season. He has lost control. Penalties and discipline come back to coaching—and to be honest I’m worried about Aaron Murray—short QBs can cause disasterous plays as we saw today with Cox. But the personal fouls are just stupid—and the defensive ends need to learn to keep their outside arm free, they get hooked on every play to the outside. Thats 6th grade peewee football material. Come on coaches ! Time to clean house, Richt !

The Black hats should be sent to the museum, never to be worn again. I do not know which side of the ball was most inept, the offense or defense. Glad we had the off week to work on our game, imagine how bad we would have been, with only a week to practice. The Tennessee Black uni’s look ludicrous as well, but they seem to be playing better each week inspite of their loud mouth coach. Hopefully someone live Damon or that nut job president, Adams will have a long talk with CMR and insist that changes be made or invite him to move along.

I also 100% disagree with the Logan Gray comment. Spikes eased over 20 yards and made a hell of play. Most importanly though the line quit blocking as the game was over, UF had their ears pinned back as there was no danger of losing. We cannot evaluate Gray until he starts or plays in a legit setting for an extended period. In what we saw in the spring all of us fans thought he was 1 or 2 and interchangeable with Murray. Cox looked 3rd or 4th and that isn’t questioned by the fans coming out of the spring game.
Next week has to start QB tryouts for next year. Murray, Gray and Mettenberg must be the only QB’s that set foot on the field for the remainder of the year unless all 4 get knocked out with injuries.

Absolute embarrassment. The same problems every game receivers running wide open through the defense, poor tackling, moronic penalties. Things are going to get worse, Tennessee is coming back Auburn is getting better. But at least we are number one in penalties. This team has a lot of problems and I do not believe this coaching staff has a clue how to turn it around.

The black helmet and pants were a brilliant idea is 87 degree heat. Donate the damn things to Goodwill.
Anytime you spot a team 14 points by the time you get the ball for the second time you are asking for trouble. Two weeks to prepare and this is the best they can do? There has to be changes made. Serious changes.

If you do not believe me, look it up. I loved the black helmets. I for one did not think the helmets and the pants would win the game. If you did, jump off the wagon and pull for someone else. You are too stupid to be a Dawg fan. You idiots, yes I mean you, who think we will win the National Championship every year, never, I repeat, never, attended UGA when we only wanted a winning season and we though Vince Dooley was our version of Bear Bryant.

UGA is just an average football team at best right now. Hopefully things will improve, but probably not for at least two more years. Expect more of the same next year. At least won’t have to worry about the team being overated. Back to the days of always being the underdog so maybe maybe can steal a win or two from better teams. Tenn looks good tonight, they just scored again. UGA used to look like they do.

I am sick of this! UGA needs to get back to hard nosed football. Forget the gimmicks, forget exposing our brand to the nation. CMR needs to fire Martinez, demote Bobo and instill some discipline in these young men. UGA is fading into the SEC version of FSU at a rapid pace. Wait, thats wrong. FSU can play defense sometimes. Please coach start playing the most talented kids and realize loyalty is to the team, university, and yes the Dawg Nation. Loyalty is not to the individual. I don’t care if a player sat for 3 years instead of transferring. If he is not the best, then he shouldn’t play.

Bill, the uniforms did not cause them to lose. You are right. But the mere fact that those God awful uniforms were used says volumes. Maybe instead of fashion statements, we might just think a bit about basics…you know, penalties, turnovers, wrapping up on tackles. Is that too freakin much to ask for. Maybe we should come out in pink for Tennessee Tech.

Please stop trying to win with gimics. Get back to playing hard nose football. The defense is pitiful and something must be done immediately to correct this problem. I cannot believe that the head coach and athletic director are so crazy that they cannot see the problem. On top of that if Coach Martinez is such a good friend to Coach Richt then he would take it upon himself to step down. Don’t bring down the entire program due to the negligence of one.

I’m not just talking about the pick when I say Gray is a terrible passer. Look at every pass he threw. They were horrible. Admittedly, Richt and Bobo have done an extremely poor job of developing him. Too much time on special teams. The same is true with Cox. Had the guy gotten decent backup playing time the past three years, he might not be making the really dumb decisions that resulted in his interceptions. The fault lies with the coaching staff.

Can you imagine Urban having to deal with this bunch of thugs! I love UGA but cannot watch this anymore until major changes are made.

I don’t disagree that Gray’s passes were not great, good bad or anything in between. I disagree with judging him playing in the 4th Qt of a blowout game when the rest of the team has quit and the opposing team has nothing to do but pin their ears back and play for the big play. UF had nothing to lose and they don’t quit whether winning or losing like we are accustomed to UGA playing. It’s not fair to Gray. I’m not saying he is the answer simplying saying there is no way to know based on the times he has played.
I want to hear the excuses and postgame info coming from Richt today. Anyone have that info. Is Willie still employed?

CMR is not a NC coach. He is a nice guy and a decent coach. CMR would be a better fit at an ACC school. To win in the SEC we need a man with a take no prisoners attitude.

UGA’s season was over when our offensive line allowed Okie State’s defense to look like the best of the Big 12. Didn’t see that one coming after all the talk in presason about how good we were up front. We just are not a very good team this year, and it’s EZ to see where our weaknesses are: QB, RB (although Ealey showed promise today), OL, LB, CB and Safety. AJ is the only bright spot we have, and the bad thing about that is the opposition knows they can double up on him, and not be hurt by anyone else when we have the ball.
Ditch the black helmets. They didn’t cause us to lose but they are ugly.

I should make no comment since I did not turn on the television set to watch this game, but I turned off the Vandy game at halftime and said I’ll watch again when some changes have been made. The program is suffering from failing to make the changes that needed to be made last year.

Then if it isn’t his choice let’s see that he and Dawg nation mean business. He doesn’t deserve to graze on the sidelines for the last 4 games of the season.

Why are so many people here so quick to blame willie, the blame must be on Mark Richt, he is the Head Coach. Everyone who has followed Georgia and SEC Football for the last four years, have seen the performance of the Georgia defence and are convinced that Willie is not the answer, if Georgia is to achieve any success in the SEC and nationally. Secondly why are the Mark Rich coached teams so indisciplined. Richt seems to have lost control of the team, and they are now playing like some Miami teams, difference is theose Miami teams use to win all the time. Most people may not agree with me, but I don’t care I will say it, Richt will not lead Georgia to any place of prominence in the SEC. He is a nice person but a horrible coach. With the many unsportsmanlike penalties called against the Dawgs, what names would we be calling some of these Georgia players if they were playing at Miami or Viginia Tech, or Florida State.

This has to be one of the most piss-poorly coached team I have seen in a very long time. If Mark Richt does not get rid of every coach on the defensive side of the ball except, Rodney Garner, then Mark needs to go. This team is soft, undisciplined, unmotivated and poorly coached.

I’m tired of a million dollar sub-standard football team. Just throw millions at Nick Saban and get him to leave Bama. Anything, but this loser mentality at UGA has to go away.

We scored half as many touchdowns against the the Gators as seven teams have all year. Seven teams averaged .57 touchdowns against the Gators. We averaged almost “FOUR” times as much. Some of you people need to know more about statistics. Bobo is not the problem. Willie will be replaced. Bobo has not yet done anything that needs to have a “For Sale” sign in his yard.

If you don’t think good coaching makes a difference, look at Urban Meyer and Nick Saban. They turned these programs instantly by establishing discipline, excellent defenses and special teams. When your backup quarterback is your kick returner, you have got to be kidding. These well coached teams don’t committ 4 turnovers every game. Did anyone see that Georgia ranks 119th out of 120 teams in turnovers. I wonder who is the other team that is worse than Georgia? The dawgs are pathetic and it kills me to watch them play. It is hard to swallow 17 out of 20 losses to Florida. Somebody get me a drink of liquor.

It is low life to be disparaging a man because of his faith. Coaching competency is one thing, a man’s faith is another. If you cannot make the distinction then you should check yourself into the hospital.

Did you hear Lundquist say that recently when CMR was asked about all the penalties he responded that for 10 years at FSU while he was there they lead the ACC in penalties?? It was like it was no big deal.

Gruden has talked to some big money folks at UGA. This is from one of his personal friends. I like CMR but this sh#t falls under the head coach.

Any one that posts on here that Mark Richt needs to go, yeah, if I was a fan of another school and had no life, I might post the same thing. No UGA fan older than twenty believes that. Bite me.

I liked the black helmets. Whether they were supposed to be motivational or not. 119 out of 120 Division 1 teams in turnover ratio? That’s ugly. Why didn’t we have Curran shadowing Tebow the entire game? He often wandered through our defense untouched. Its quite obvious that Willie is outmatched against any decent offense. I’ve been a season ticket holder for over 25 years but if we don’t change our DC, I’m giving up.

How can you say Bobo called a decent game? Predictable offense as always. The toss sweep fools no one. They pass on 3rd and 1, run on 3rd and 17, and unless I missed it, didn’t see a single screen pass. Just when Ealey get’s going they take him out and put Samuel in. AJ plays two plays and then they pull him out on a crucial 3rd down. This team is just woeful. I have no doubt in my mind that UGA has as good or better players as anyone in the country.I just don’t understand how the coaches can have a team so undisciplined and under-prepared week after week. Well yeah, I guess I can. This team is soft, undisciplined, and constantly out of position. It’s ironic how you see a highly religious player with so much fire and passion — killer instinct if you will — abuse and demoralize a man of similar stature. And there folks, is your difference. CMR has grown too comfortable in A-town with his big salary and safe posse of friends who aren’t fit to coach a high school team. It’s put up or shut-up time Mark. If major changes aren’t made, you’re gonna lose your job as well. And don’t even get me started on the defense…

Just Like Last Year. You guys need to get rid of Martinez. Oh, a lot of good that stupid black crap and the “celebration” on the 50 did. Good luck in the humanitarian bowl, if that.
Heisman game for Tebow, I really think his performance here clinches it. Yeah Walker did it in three and was a RB. Tebow is the QB, and his 29 yarder is not the typical goal line crap you guys whine about him getting. Not his fault he scores short yardage TD’s if no one can stop it.

Cuz – I know you are trying to put some perspective and spin on this year’s team. I do respect your thoughts on the Dogs. However, what about the 2008 and 2007 seasons? I know we did good at the end of the year in 2007 but why was there no carry over into 2008? Also, I would have thought our D and O line would have been two of our stronger parts of the team because of the experience returning. What’s up with that? We seem to be getting man handled. At least with Dooley and Erk, if we got beat the other team knew they had just been in dog fight and left bruised and knew they had just played a hard nosed team. Now….I don’t think teams really are that nervous about us. Our tradition of Junkyard Dawgs has slipped away, and frankly I want it back!
Cuz- You seem to have a level head and I respect most all of your comments so that is why I’m asking you. The team just doesn’t ever seem to be prepared. Why can’t they play like Shockley’s SEC Champ season or the Hawaii game. The Dogs seem to just wilt in big games and are blown out…it is like they are standing in awe of this whole SEC thing.

Hope all you Richt suck ups enjoyed this one. Where’s Altamahadog when you need someone to kick around? I am no fair weather dawg. I didn’t buy into this creased-head moron by the end of his second year. If you know me, you know I’ve never liked this idiot since the end of year two. He’s the worst thing for Georgia: a real nice, Christian coach who all the moms like but can’t coach and surroudns himself with like-minded cronies. Going to be tough canning this overpaid “nice guy” with an impressive record but can’t beat the Gators…and Bama under Saban. Remember, there will never be a Georgia national championship with this “nice guy.” NEVER.
