Fellow Dog fans, we need to get real here. If we need to worry about getting past SC early, then suffice it to say that we probably aren’t going to be all that great. Does anybody here think that Bama or Florida would be as concerned with an early game in Columbia? So basically, Richt’s program has evolved to “maybe we beat Carolina?” That is sad.

JS…………you don’t know much about Richt if that’s your stance……Murray wouldn’t have started last year if he was the second coming. He was a true freshman and Cox had been in the system 3-4 years. Richt, being a passed over second string collge QB himself, was going to give Cox every benefit of the Doubt. Yes, I think it’s a “weakness” he has for not putting the best player on the field to give us a chance to win, but that’s just the way he’s runs ‘his” team. Murray will surprise this year.

If Aaron Murray has a “much better arm than David Greene” then we’re home free. But I’ve never heard that before. Also I question the reasoning that other teams’ adjustment to our new defensive alignment will offset our own learning curve. But I hope he’s right. I don’t think Ingram can repeat his monster year. But I have no objective reason for saying that other than that he will share a lot of carries with a great back.. Just mysticism and wishful thinking I guess. If AJ stays healthy and plays up to his potential look out.I do appreciate the Bulletin Board motivation from the Sentinel and Paul Finebaum.

Green had a soft pass that was very catchable and often times, it was caught. He also had touch. He also had accuracy. He did throw a nice, deep ball.

Murray has that cannon arm, second maybe to MS but who cares? He can throw on the run, he can roll out and he hums it. He also can throw into the lanes that open up on the line and here is where we might see some issues that are due to inexperience. In this scenario ……….. he needs to know where folks are, like LBs and HIS fullbacks,etc

Cox’s biggest issue was that he was slow. He could not move and folks pinned their ears back and here they came. He did display with inconsistency, a nice, accurate pass. He had a tendancy to panic and that was his Achilles heel. He cost up at least two game and mybe he won two. We must do far better.

Bottom line…the QB is totally inexperienced in college game action and no one knows what’s gonna happen. And usually, that kind of big ? at that particular position is not a good predictor for consistant success throughout the season game in and game out. Look at Peyton Manning…and you would have to assume here that Aaron Murray is equal to that level…even he struggled a bit his first year and was up and down and Tennessee had a very mediocre season that year. What, 7 wins?? But the schedule is kinder for the Dawgs and an 8-4 season would not be out of the question.

BobDog,

While I have and continue to pick UGA to win the East, its a little early to say that “beating bama shouldn’t be a problem.” Believe me, it is a problem. IF we get to ATL, Bama will be by far the most complete team we will have faced. Any inexperience on Bama’s D won’t be an issue in game 13 of the season. Do I think its impossible? No, but we have a lot to accomplish before we can be confident playing the Tide. Their backs are more established. Their qb is a proven commodity. We have an edge in the kicking game and a slight one at O-line, but the balance of the units all favor the Tide. The most glaring discrepency may be the DL. Marcel Dareus is a beast and we really don’t know how well or how poorly our front three will play. Right now you’d have to put Bama as a 8 to 10 point favorite at the Dome. I’d like to think that we can get that down to under 5 by the time the game comes around, but again, we’ve got a long way to go. However, for this team just getting to ATL will be an accomplishment we should be very happy about, when it happens.

Nobody really knows, that’s why you’ve got some analysts putting us at the bottom and others at the top. There is some solid talent on this Georgia team, but there are just as many questions. Will the offensive line that allowed us to pound the rock at the end of last season show up from day one, or will it take 3-4 games before they get it into gear. My take on this OL – prove it. Shows us how good people think you are. I’m not one who thinks they’re one of the best in college.

Defensively, the guy to watch is Justin Anderson. At 6′5″ 325 lbs., Bean could be a beast anchoring the middle of our line. Just as easily, he could be a flop. I have faith that Grantham will have this group attacking the ball and creating T.O.’s. I expect an upgrade on that side of the ball.

I’m one that thinks we’ll go 9-3… if the train starts to really roll, maybe 10-2. All I care about is stomping the Vols and putting another beat down on Tech. The rest is gravy.

“If we make it to the SEC Championship game, I don’t see a problem with beating ‘Bama. They’re going to be off this year on defense and we’ll pound them until they try to stop the run, then blow them out with the receiving corps. They’ll score some points on us, but not enough to make it close.”

No problem beating Bama? Gonna blow them out? Won’t even be close?

Thanks for the comedy. I needed some comedic relief today. BTW, the Bammers defense is so deep that a new starter at defensive end Marcel Dareus is projected as the #2 draft pick in 2011 by Todd McShay of ESPN and the #7 pick of the nfl 2011 draft by the other ESPN draft analyst Tom Lemming. They also have 6′4 260 lb linebacker Donta Hightower who was freshman all america and started 14 games in 08 but missed most of last season due to a knee injury. He also counts as a new starter even though he really isn’t. Their new NT played as many snaps as Terrance Cody and had more tackles. Most of their new starters are guys who like these 3 played in the regular rotation and have boatloads of experience and were part time starters at least some of the last 2 seasons. They will be even more athletic than last year. Good luck running the ball against those guys.

with regard to Murray’s arm strength…..ask jeff george if arm strength is the only factor to consider.
Murray seems like a well rounded QB, better than average arm strength, touch, mobility, smart. I will take that over a gunslinger any day. AKA David Greene, Joe Montana, Drew Brees, you name them. College or Pro, they tend to be way more sucessful than the guys with the cannons who cannot move or think.

This team will perform way better than last years. Look forward to the Dawgs playing and shutting some haters mouths and some writers pens.

I like our chances to have a great season 11-2.Maybe 13-1.
Will Georgia beat Florida? Win the East? Who knows. But they will be better than last years team. That does not bode well for Tech. They probably wont get a ring again this year.
And I echo a previous blogger ” G2Rhett”, no one is looking forward to playing the Dawgs this year.

Murray delivers the ball to a place that only the receiver has a shot at it. They must catch it with their hands and keep their eyes on the ball. I finally got to see some of the film from the G-Day, saw Murray zip one to Charles who started running before securing the ball which would had been a nice pickup. Also saw the interception and it wasn’t what some numbskulls on this site had been making it out to be. The protection broke down and he was hit in the shins when he was stepping up by a guy crawling towards him. It wasn’t anything like some of those so called fans were making it sound like. He wasn’t trying to make a superman type of play. He was trying to deliver the ball underneth, in front of a LB, exactly what the D was giving him..

Skipper,

The suggestion that beating Florida is all it takes to win the East is a common misconception. The fact is that the 3 times that CMR’s teams won the East, UF won the game. In the 2 years that we beat UF we were not the East representative. In fact it can be argued that the key to UT winning the East is UGA beating UF, because that it what has happened in the past. UGA’s futility in the UF game has had a greater impact in UGA’s success on a national level than it has on our success within the conference. BTW: In the other 4 games we lost to UF, 2001, 2006, 2008 and 2009 we would not have won the East even if we had beaten UF. Ergo, there has not been one season under Richt that the UF game result was decisive in whether UGA went to ATL or not. However, beating UF in either 2002 and 2005 would have greatly enhanced our chances of playing in the big game.

Dawg Daz, agree with everything you say, and I believe the film shows that the receiver was actually in traffic, screened from the ball ….but I think Murray also threw back across the middle of the field (into the crowd) on a play where protection had broken down. Not a wise decision and that is the cause for concern.

All that being said, I’m not worried. I think the kid realized before the play ended he blew that one. Lesson learned. Better there than at Columbia on 9/11.

He is the #1 QB, and will prove that CMR was correct all along.

Other reasons I hear on why Richt, who’s finished in the top 10 16 of last 19 seasons, not preseason top 10.

1) Turnovers
That’s a myth. Vandy was best in lowest turnovers in SEC, they went 2-10. Many of the best teams in nation when it comes to not committing turnovers, went 5-7. This is a myth by misinformed people.

2) Penalties
Richt is 25-2 when UGA commits 10+ penalties, aggression is good, Meyer ranked #93 in penalties went 13-1. Meyer’s 2 natl champ years, gators were horrible in penalties. This one’s a myth too by uninformed Richt critics who don’t like facts and reality.

3) rUSHING
MSU was #1 in SEC, went 5-7.

You got something agin rednecks? I’m from Watkinsville, and yes, Mr. Observor, I can read and I can write. As for the issue at hand, that is, the Dogs, I can only believe they will be better. I watched the replay last night of the Arkansas-Georgia game from last year, and found myself appalled at the absolutely miserable play of the defense. The kicking game, those directional kicks out of bounds, and a lost coaching staff on defense. The penalties were abominable, twice on efforts at a two point conversion. It is a wonder and marvel that the team won as many games as they did. Watching that game last night, I said, coaches should have been fired before the next week. At least, as far as Dog fans are concerned, the good news is that we shouldn’t have to watch those same mistakes week in and week out. This entry will will probably be deleted, as most of mine are, but there goes. The humble and ignorant entry of one from Observor’s Redneck Triangle.

College Football News on any receiver winning the Heisman:

“Forget about anyone who’s not a quarterback or a running back. Over the last ten years, the only players to crack the top five who played anything other than quarterback or running back were Suh last year, Michael Crabtree in 2008 (fifth), and Larry Fitzgerald in 2003 (second). There isn’t a Heisman-worthy receiver out there at the moment going into this season, and if Crabtree could only get 116 Heisman points in 2008 (Bradford won with 1,726), there’s no chance a Ryan Broyles of Oklahoma or Keith Smith of Purdue will come within 100 miles of consideration.”

Is this the same economist that forecasted we’d be out of the recession by the fall????? Yep, two years ago the puppy dawgs were National Champs in June, July and August! Just wear all black and all will be OK!

Ed @4:45 pm, you appear to be obsessed with UF. I thought this article was about UGA. My guess is that you still will lose to UF………………but that’s just a guess!

All you Georgia fans are out to lunch! 30 years and no National Championship, wiahfull thinking. Get rid of CMR and get you a real coach. He’s to soft. And you’ll all have to get up early in the morning to beat ‘BAMA anywhere anytime, it just won’t happen!!! ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, Dawgies– You’re all so CUTE!! Tell you what, beat FL in the regular season game (like we will) and then we’ll talk about how easily to you can handle Bama in the SEC Champ match. Seriously, you’re so CUTE! But ya’ gotta learn to crawl before you can walk! And forget about running–that’s a few years off.

This guy isn’t a “pundit.” He’s a UGA fan hired by Phil Steele’s site to write their UGA blog. I can’t believe this is currently the featured story on AJC’s UGA page.

uga won’t win 8 games this year….you are a mid level sec team and have no/zero chance of beating UF

That undermanned little team from Mississippi that beat Florida at the Swamp had the same thing said about them. You “rant” is dumb .Georgia has had it’s troubles, but with top 10 recruiting classes EVERY year, we have the talent and chance to beat anybody we play on any given Saturday. Grow up tim.

JB quit drinking so early in the morning you are another delusional puppy. SC and ARK will beat you ladies early so your season will be over for all intents and purposes by Oct 1…and you can look forward to another trip to Shreveport, but you might not win 6 games so the puppies can sit home and watch the bowls…those top 10 recruiting classes you talk about seem to fizzle under the present uga staff and you just can’t beat the Gators….

so they’re going to “retake the throne” if they beat south carolina and because their defense just can’t be as horrid as last year? is this some sort of goof?

Brantley’s good, but Murray’s better. With the new 3-4 D, UGA will dominate the UF offense and beat the gators by 10—bank on it! Dawgs win the East, upset bama for the SEC title. The dawgs are back!

Bill I hate to be a jerk but what planet are you on?

The Dawgs have not won the SEC East since 2005, and not even with Stafford and Moreno. From 2006-2009, the Dawgs finished the regular season 8-4, 9-3, and 7-5( 2007 was a total anomaly). This program is back to where they were in the late 90’s, which is an 8 win program. We no longer are a program that averages 10 wins a season like we did during that stretch from 2002-2005.

I don’t care about the returning starters, especially from a team that went 7-5 and gave up 30 points on defense 5 times last season. What I want to see is this teams character. Will they fight when the chips are down or will they cave in at the first sign of adversity? If this team actually comes out and plays hard for the new defensive coaches, then yeah I can see them overachieving like they did in 2007. But if they get hit in the mouth and collapse in games like they did vs. the Vols, Gators, and Wildcats last season: then it’s game over for this season. If the players go out there and quit like they did last year, then its time for Richt to go.

Why would anyone be surprised that the AD Damon Evans gets a dui when the program he runs has had 30 players arrested over the last 3 years which is a staggering number.

The same individual that forecasted the SEC East is the year of the dawg also said:

-No Mr. President we will never see a recession in your time.
-No Mr. Haywad there isn’t any way that oil rig will blow up. It’s 100% safe.
-Joe Cox will take over where Stafford left off.
-Yes, SI put us on the front cover. We’ll finish #1

Woof, Woof, Wimper, Wimper. Now go have a drink with you AD!

Each season is the “Year of the Dog” since Richt’s been here.

9 seasons:
6 top 10 finishes, 4 consecutive
2 top 25 finishes

Even going back to FSU, they had:
13 top 5 finishes in 15 years for Bowden while Richt was there, Bowden only had 1 top 5 finish before Richt got there, 1 after Richt left

So, 18 top 10 finishes out of last 23 seasons?

Every year’s Dog year, when Richt’s in town.

Joe Montana could scramble when a play broke down, and make somthing postive out of it. That’s a big deal for a QB Georgia didn’t have in Cox, or Greene. Stafford had SOME mobility, but not like Murray. Murray’s a hard to guy to lay a finger on, much less sack.

Don’t forget how smart Murray is, 4.8 GPA on 4.0 scale and a 1280 SAT. He’ll be able to use his brain to read defenses like a Peyton Manning out there.

cOACH rICHT said Murraty reminds him of Casey Weldon, who Richt coached at FU.

Casey went 60%, threw for 2500 yards and 22 TD’s, and a 16-2 record as a starter. Long career in NFL.
