Fan talk: Thin secondary has some UGA fans worrying about Mizzou
Missouri's James Franklin will be facing a depleted Georgia secondary. (Associated Press)
The disciplinary action taken by Mark Richt against starting cornerback Sanders Commings suddenly has UGA fans viewing that early-season trip to Columbia, MO, in a different light. Along those lines, let’s dip into some of this week’s Junkyard Mail. …
Travis Gordon writes: With transfers, dismissals and little depth at cornerback, and also the suspension of Commings, should we be worried about Missouri’s air attack and DGB?
That SEC opener certainly is looking a lot more interesting than we first thought, isn’t it? In fact, it’s likely that it’ll wind up getting one of the conference’s Sept. 8 national television slots because of the high interest generated by it being Mizzou’s first SEC game, the possible playing debut of the nation’s No. 1 receiver prospect, Dorial Green-Beckham, and Georgia likely being a Top 10 team. The only other SEC games of national interest that week will be Washington at LSU and Florida at Texas A&M, one of which probably will get the other national spot. Anyway, yeah, the combination of Commings sitting out the game and Georgia being thin in the secondary will probably have Tigers QB James Franklin slinging the ball pretty frequently to T.J. Moe and Marcus Lucas, regardless of whether DGB makes it onto the field that early in the season. Fortunately, I don’t think Missouri’s defense is going to be anywhere near as tough as Georgia’s, so Aaron Murray is likely to do plenty of slinging on his own. And if the Dawgs also manage to get their running game on track, they should be able to give the Tigers the same sort of welcome to the SEC that South Carolina got in 1992. It’d sure be nice not to start out conference play 0-1 like the past two years!
Brett Miolen writes: What’s going on with our secondary? With the 2-game suspension of Sanders Commings and Nick Marshall and Chris Sanders being booted from the team, our DB situation is at DEFCON 4. What can we do to be ready for some of the passing offenses we will face this season? Should we move guys around or just try to use who we have? Either way it’s not a great situation.
I don’t think Buffalo, the season opener, will be much of a threat. Aside from the Missouri game, when Commings will be serving his suspension, Georgia will have one of the nation’s best starting secondaries, and as long as no one gets hurt it shouldn’t be a major problem. For Missouri, I imagine the Dawgs will make do with the supporting cast of Damian Swann, Marc Deas, Corey Moore, Quintavious Harrow and Devin Bowman, with incoming freshman Sheldon Dawson a longshot that early. I don’t really see the Georgia coaches using ace receiver Malcolm Mitchell on defense unless the situation gets really dire later in the season.
Jake Fleming writes: Why is it taking so long to extend Mark Richt and Todd Grantham’s contracts? Do you feel those contracts hurt us on this year’s recruiting?
Why is it taking so long? Lawyers. Last I saw, though, it was reported they were 98 percent there on the contracts, and the 2 percent still to be hammered out was minor stuff. What hurt in this season’s recruiting was all the Mark Richt “hot seat” talk early in the season. But UGA is on record as wanting both coaches to have contract extensions, so I doubt very much the recruiting situation for next year will be impacted at all.

C.A. Hopkins writes: Asking, because I don’t know: Is it possible to “major” in football? This is a serious question as the sport has evolved into a huge business. Not just the NFL, but all over the world. Billions of dollars in revenue. There needs to be classes on agents, finance, facilities, etc. The people that love the sport and are focused on that as a major part of their life should be able to get a focused education on making them professional, educated football graduates. It may sound silly, but years ago, being an Internet analyst was silly.
I don’t know about other schools, but UGA doesn’t have a football major, though there are sports-related majors, including exercise and sport science, athletic training, and sports management (which is really aimed at preparing future coaches/administrators). The closest to a football major is probably what Isaiah Crowell and Alec Ogletree are taking: health and physical education. Otherwise, Georgia’s football players have a pretty diverse list of majors. The nonsports majors showing up most frequently appear to be journalism, psychology, speech communications, housing, and child and family development, but you also have players majoring in international affairs, business/management, anthropology, family financial planning, health promotion, finance, biology, pre-med, economics, athletic training, management information systems, agricultural engineering, risk management and insurance, marketing, real estate, biomedical engineering, sociology, agricultural and applied economics, agricultural and environmental sciences, education, history, consumer economics, criminal justice, recreation and leisure studies, forestry and natural resources, and theater. As for whether a true football major might develop in the future, I’d say that’ll probably only happen in the unlikely event that the NCAA OKs paying the players.
Andy Trundle writes: Other than a soft schedule and some quality players returning, what actually justifies our high preseason ranking in football? Of course, preseason rankings are somewhat bogus, but how high do you honestly feel we should be ranked before play even starts?
The combination of a relatively soft schedule and quite a few quality players returning is as good a reason for a high preseason ranking as any. It all comes down to execution, of course, but I think the 2012 Dogs are easily a Top 15 team and if they play up to their full potential should manage to keep the Top 10 ranking that they’re likely to start out with.
Travis Hill writes: Special teams … I have no clue what or how this is going to change. Since Warren Belin left for the NFL we have had a drop-off for sure. This has to be addressed. I am interested in what Richt will do … if anything? This is especially scary since we will have a freshman kicker and punter.
Richt hasn’t indicated what he’s going to do but he has indicated that special teams will be a priority, so I imagine we will see some sort of change. Whether he names a position coach to also serve as special teams coordinator or simply loads up the special teams with starters and devotes more time to preparing them in practice, you’re right that Georgia can’t afford to let the status quo continue in that very important aspect of the game.
Recruiting remains the biggest challenge for Mark Fox. (AJC file)
Garrett Kee writes: Hey Bill! Hope you’re doing well! Again, condolences to you family for the loss of your father. He seemed like a great man and a Bulldog till the end. I wanted to kind of change the subject around from the traditional football talk to the action on the hardwood. Since it is basketball season and getting close to March, wanted to get your opinion on our basketball team this year. Do you think Mark Fox is the man who can lead this program to something more then an afterthought when college football ends to something to occasionally to watch before spring practice starts? Let’s face it, Georgia is a football school and will always be one; it’s our bread and butter. Fox has done tremendous things since he has gotten here. No doubt with the departures of [Travis] Leslie and [Trey] Thompkins, Fox was dealt a huge blow for this season, mainly no big threat in the inside. My question to you is do you think Fox can get this program to a point where every year an NCAA tourney birth is expected and occasionally a Sweet 16 birth is not a bizarre thought? [Kentavious] Caldwell-Pope and [Nemanja] Djurisic look to be great building blocks for the future. With our facilities and the talent that is in the state of Georgia for basketball, I don’t see why we can’t be with the Floridas of the world who are successful at football and basketball. Disappointment [this week] with the 1-point loss to South Carolina off the huge weekend upset of Mississippi State. Hopefully they can regroup and finish strong. Go Dawgs!
Thanks. You’re right on the mark when it comes to my Dad. As for Georgia basketball, I really like Mark Fox. I think he’s a good game coach, and I think if he’s able to put together a team with more than just one or two quality players, Georgia can indeed become a regular in the NCAAs. But that’s the big question mark still looming over Fox — his ability to recruit at the level needed to move the program up into the top half of the conference. I think he’s still got a year or two to get it done before Greg McGarity starts to get impatient for more progress.
Finally, our Redcoat Band buddy Brett Johnson writes: Hey Bill, If you haven’t heard or seen the news about the Band Bowl, the UGA Redcoat Band dominated a team wearing white who all coincidentally participate in the Georgia Tech band 21-6. Fox 5 did a very fun piece.
Yes, I did see that, Brett. I don’t know what your major is, but if it’s not public relations you’re missing your calling. You did a great job of getting the word out and drumming up interest in the Band Bowl. Congratulations on yet another UGA victory over the guys from the NATS!

I’ve been watching Mizzou for the last five years or so and I’ve commented to buddies that this university can compete in The SEC.
Ironically they’ve entered our arena. I must admit I don’t know what kind of team they will field this season but they’ve been a smashmouth, in your face, line-oriented team that reminds me of the old Dawgs from years ago.
I think Mizzou beats our Dawgs first time out …………. regrettably…………but true.
In any case, welcome to The SEC Mizzou – you more than deserve entry.
Tell your boys that several of our teams are down lately but we will reload and you guys are in for the ride of your lives!

So UGA fans are afraid of a team that went 8-5 last year and lost 11 of its starters? Most of which were on the offensive and defensive lines? Not a lot of confidence in your supposed top 10 team I guess.

Mizzou shouldn’t be a problem for the Dawgs pass defense. Franklin isn’t a very accurate QB. Of course he’s very mobile so that could be a concern in their version of the spread. The Dawgs better be hyped because Mizzou certaintly will, being that it’s their first SEC game.
That game will probably be a night game on ESPN2 I’m thinking, w/ the Gators/A&M game on the mothership at 7:45. I don’t think CBS televises SEC games until week 3 w/ the Gators/Vols matchup?
Great work as always Mr. Bill.

Sooooooo, I just posted but for whatever reason it didn’t go through. I must have said one of the phrases that Delbert describes as being put on the NSA watch list??? haha
Anyway, let’s try this again. I don’t think the Dawgs pass defense has to worry much about Franklin as he’s not a very accurate passer. That plus UGA’s pass rush should have him on the run the entire game. Of course that might be a bad thing as Franklin is a very mobile QB who likes to run in Mizzou’s version of the spread.
This game will probably be placed on ESPN2 as one of their night games, w/ Florida/A&M on the mothership at 7:45. I don’t think CBS televises SEC games until the third week of the season beginning w/ the Florida/Tennessee game?? They do that because of tennis, which is beyond me.
Anyway, hopefully this goes through this time, and great work as always Bill.

Can’t wait for spring practice. I want to see how good the Freshman punter and kicker is going to be. With the new rules hopefully Morgan Marshall will kick into the end zone a lot and there won’t be very many return’s. Just that will solve a lot of our special team’s problem’s without even addressing the issue. With no coaching changes or reshuffling the existing coaches job’s apparently CMR think’s last year strategy will work better in 2012. With new rules only a slight change can have totally different and better result’s.
Also maybe we will see some changes in spring practice. I sure hope so because our failure’s on turnover’s and bad special team’s play was a pattern not an isolated thing and not to have some changes would be crazy.and irresponsible.

A couple of things to remember is that Missouri will be replacing 3 people on their Offensive line and three people on their defensive line. UGA is much better than Missouri on defense, and UGA should be able to exploit the OL of Missouri. UGA is replacing three OL’s as well, but Missouri is replacing three DL’s so there just may be a stand off there.
Their really talented receiver that is new to the class of 2012 will still be learning how to play in college football, and should not be that big a factor in his second game in college. Though thin in the secondary, UGA does have experience back there and should be able to handle their receivers. Missouri is also replacing their RB, so will lack experience there as well.
If UGA can put pressure on the QB, it could be a long day for Missouri. Make their QB worried in the pocket, and give him happy feet.Even if they had three experienced linemen, UGA has a great pass rush and adding our Line backing corp. in the mix, UGA should be able to control their offense.
UGA is perfectly capable of scoring on them, even though we are young at a couple of positions, as long as our OL is able to hold it’s own. They will be young, but they are good athletes and if they can jell as a unit, they will be fine. The RB corp is full of potential and they will be ready to go. They are capable of being one of the strongest, if not the strongest tandem of RB’s UGA has seen in quite a while.

I checked my calendar and noticed that it’s a long way til game time! The DAWGS generally beat themselves up in practice which thins out several positions. Crowell will probably get that started! I bet there are some unsung players who will add depth and strength to the secondary and are eager to get on the field! GO DAWGS!!

I think we’re going to be a little overrated going in to this season. The preseason prognosticators always ignore the O-line. As always, we’ve got major problems there. And we shouldn’t get a bump in the polls for an easy schedule. I’ve always hated that. We could go 11-1 on our schedule and still get our brains beat in by the West champ in the SECCG.
I just think this team still has ALOT to prove after a season in which we didn’t beat a single ranked team. We weren’t even competitive with Top 5 teams Boise or LSU. If we had played Bama it would have been even worse in my opinion. They are a very physical team. We still have a looooong way to go to get where everyone wants us to be. I’m afraid a lot of you don’t understand that. I’m afraid our players don’t understand that.
Thanks.

I’m not a fan of an easy schedule, and would prefer to go to a nine game conference schedule. However, I think we will be in better shape this year against Missouri, because we do have an opening game against Buffalo. The easy opponent will allow the team to get into game speed and gain some momentum going in to Missouri. It will also help the young line gain experience and be better ready for the rest of the season. Unlike last year with Boise State, where the team came out over hyped and then collapsed and had no momentum going into South Carolina, and ended up playing like they were inferior to SC at times. I think the 1-0 team will go into the opening conference game in better shape than last years 0-1 team. I don’t mind the opening game to a lesser opponent, but I think it should be our only non-conference lesser opponent other than Tech, and I think is should be a closer school like GA Southern, GA State, or a school like UAB that is close in proximity and has a good relationship with the University.
Another thing question I have is why don’t we hire a special teams guy in the strength and conditioning staff. There are two jobs available there, and without getting rid of a coach on the field their is no room for one there. So having a special teams expert on the staff would be beneficial, in my view. It wouldn’t help with in game field adjustments, unless they made them from watching a tv and calling in, but just having better prepared special teams would put us in better shape than last year. It will also give someone who knows how to fix the problem between games, so they don’t linger throughout the season, and cause the nations best kicker to perform like the worst. It would have to be better than not having anyone.
On a final note I am not worried about the defense. I believe coach Grantham will have the boys ready. He proved last year that he could have them ready to play with anyone. In fact last year our defense outplayed South Carolina and Michigan State, and LSU and Boise for a half. The biggest questions in the games we lost was could the offense keep the defense off the field and sustain drives, and could special teams not collapse? These will be the same questions this year. The secondary and defense are the least of my worries, I believe Grantham will have them ready.

Joshua…i could be wrong, but since we went to the 3-4 defense..we added a position coach to the defensive side of the ball, which takes away an extra coaching position from another area. Guess Richt and Company felt they could sacrifice a ST coach….and coach by committee in that area. Think the new rules limit the amount of coaches you can have on the team and S/C program. Many someone can clarify it a lil better though.

This may be a shock to some of you, but I agree with GTBob.
Yeah, you don’t want to underestimate an opposing team, but Mizzou’s lost a lotta starters, and Georgia’s got one of the best defenses in the country. Yeah, they have a true freshman receiver with a lot of potential, but how’s the QB gonna throw it to him when he’s on his back all day because we’re plowing through their line?
I don’t see where all the doubters are coming from. I see UGA winning 35-14.

Missouri doesn’t have the O-line or the D-line to compete with UGA. They’ll wear out. We have 9 out of 11 starters back on defense. That’s basically the same defense that finished top 5 in the country last season. These guys are going to work hard in the off-season in the 2nd season under Joe T and his workouts, get more conditioning, and be ready to go.

But SC almost always sucks in the 2nd half of the season and we don’t play them first in the SEC for the first time in a while….that’s why the games are always good and close, because it’s the first SEC game, well this time it won’t be.

My boy John Theus needs to bust his tail, Mark Beard you too buddy. GATA! and make us proud. If they can bust open holes for the RBs and give Murray time, we’ll be lethal on offense…and well….you already know how nasty our defense is….it should be a GREAT season to be a Dawg!

This blog seems very similar to the one last year where most UGA fans gave Boise State virtually no chance to win. After all, we had beat them badly a few years ago with a swarming defense and their qb’s worst game of his college career, and we were the mighty SEC. We would simply be too fast, too strong, etc. for their little finese team. Well, we got a rude awaking then, and if we take Missouri lightly, it can happen again. If you look at our history in the last decade, you will see a trend of the same stuff every year. First, we have the stupid suspensions, leaving us shorthanded at the beginning of the season. Consequently, we lose a pivotal game early on, and then we’re behind the eightball for the rest of the season. A few years ago, the early hiccups probably cost us at least a shot at a NC, and last year, we were very fortunate to get some help from others in winning the SEC. Don’t get me wrong, I’m die hard Ga. I like our team and our coaches, but I hate we have to play a team that put up 41 points in their bowl game, a team that will be playing at home, and a team that will be out to prove to the world that they belong in the SEC. It will be one of our toughest games.

The secondary will not be an issue, so long as no one else gets suspended or injured off the field. Cross your fingers and hope that no scooter accidents occur!
With Commings out the starter will be Damian Swann. Swann has the makings of a shutdown corner and showed his raw talent last year on special teams and as a backup. Nick Marshall was a major hurt as far as depth goes for the 2012 team. However, with Smith/Commings at corner and Rambo/Williams at safety, this is a very solid, sure tackling secondary. Swann will be the nickel back position starter this year and will fill-in at boundary and short corner when Smith or Commings are hurt or suspended. Scott Laktos has got to be more comfortable now, even with Marshall gone, than he was last season.
With the pressure that the D-Line will put onto Mizzu it will take the pressure off the secondary a lot. Good DE’s and DT’s make DB’s look like NFL stars.
The 2012 Dawgs don’t have much to worry about in regards to the D. Its the inconsistent O and the O-Line that we need to be worried about. Murray might be good, but too many sacks and too much pressure throws his game into the toilet quickly. Worry about the O and the O-Line Dawg People, the D will be fine! Go Dawgs!
Charlie Hayes
February 17th, 2012

@ anotherdawg,
I agree with your assesment that the Mizzu game will be very tough. But, in the BSU game last year our D wasnt clicking. We scored enough points against BSU to win, however we couldnt adjust on D to stop the short game passing.
However, look at how well the D played against USCe the next week. The D was tough and held USCe to minimual points. The O gave the USCe game away with fumbles and pick-6’s. Take away the 28 points our O gave USCe and we win that game big! Dont think that Spurrier didnt watch the BSU game and try to pick us apart like BSU did with tunnel screens, quick slants and half back dump passes. Grantham did a great job last year from game 1 to game 2 getting his D ready.
If the O can move the ball consistenly against Mizzu then UGA should win big. If the O turns the ball over or stalls out (like they did against BSU) then Mizzu will have a good chance at winning. My fear is that the O has choked too many times in big games. When will the O put four quarters of good football together? Again, the D will not be the issue this year.

The loss of all these DBs certainly isn’t good, but I think many people are underestimating guys like Damian Swann and Devin Bowman. They are both big athletic cornerbacks at about 6′0 tall and Swann has a good amount of game experience from last year. Not to mention Georgia’s front seven should take alot of pressure off of them anyways, so don’t expect Mizzou to just light up the scoreboard.

Personally, I’m not impressed with CMR as a HC over the last four years. He did what he had to do to keep his job and now it will go back to the same sorry play that put UGA in this situation. If CMR really wanted to improve this team, he would have brought in a top OC, WR coach and a proven OL coach. The recruit that are coming are going to be good but, there were too many schollies left on the table. With the same playcalling UGA is easily overrated and it is simply disgusting. How long does it take to see that an coordinator is not getting the job done. Bobo constantly blames the players on the offense, but he forgets that he is in charge of the entire offensive squad. When will he ever own up to the fact that he is not an OC or a QB Coach ? Until CMR rectifies this problem, the team will never perform at a NC level or until they bring in a coach with a killer instinct. Hiring Larry Porter would have been a smart decision for the special teams and he is also a great recruiter. Adjustments need to be made, but unfortunately CMR doesn’t have what it takes to make the changes.

# 81 Mark Richt era coach judged on grad rates and APR
http://coachesbythenumbers.com/coach-rankings/?reportId=13
There are 80 coaches during the Mark Richt era who have done a better job of graduation rates and APR than Mark Richt and his “coaching staff” have accomplished here. This is because blindly we recruit based on the player’s recruiting ranking which (to-date) measures NOTHING ABOUT ACADEMICS or other OFF-FIELD ISSUES.
The best way to see this measurement I also have been TRYING TO GET THROUGH the heads of the DISNEYdawgs.com who think they are HELPING by stating only positive posts can be allowed on “THEIR blogs” is to look at the
26 Twenty-Six Scholarships Mark Richt gave out for 2012 who should be playing for us 2012, and will NOT (transfers out, all GOOD RIDDANCE according to DISNEYdawgs.com)
It is a gruesome list of 26 exclusively 4-Star recruits who should be playing here 2012 and won’t, transfers out. You are not going to graduate YOUR average # 8 recruiting ranking, when they TRANSFER.
Let them go to any school is a smoke-screen. The ISSUE is
26 scholarships given out for 2012 to recruits – transferred out.
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO WIN LIKE THAT ?

I don’t think Missouri’s defense is going to be anywhere near as tough as Georgia’s, so Aaron Murray is likely to do plenty of slinging on his own…..got to get the 35:55minute MURRAY Heisman campaign off to a good start or run it in the ditch. I say Murray throws 1 or 2 picks. UGa should just line up and run the ball all game. I know BoZo doesn’t understand Paul Johnson’s concept of ball control but maybe he should try it.

“Missouri is replacing three DL’s”
Actually, DE Brad Madison (12 starts) and DT Terrell Ressono (11 starts) return.
DT Sheldon Richardson had 2 starts, with 8 TFL and 2.5 sacks. 2 other DEs started a game, with 10 TFL and 5 sacks spread evenly between them.
They have 2 CBs with 11 and 13 starts, and 2 more with 3 starts apiece. CB E.J. Gaines set a school record with 16 pass breakups and made 1st Team All-Big 12.
Their 3 projected replacement starters on the OL are G Jack Meiners, 6-6 305 Sr; G Mark Hill, 6-6 290 Jr, and OT Chris Freeman, 6-8 325 RsSo.

I’ve been a Georgia Bulldog since birth (Thanks Dad!). I love the Red and Black. I love the tradition. I’ve been to hundreds of games in Sanford Stadium. You can let the “Lone Trumpeter” play at my funeral.
However.
I’m tired of The University of Georgia doubting itself as a program. If you want to be a Tier-I football program, then act like it. Although I’ve loved Larry Munson and his unrivaled play-by-play, he, too, would always poor mouth the program.
It’s simply time to either play like a Tier-I program (and win like won) or continue to play like Tier II with a great tradition. Bottom line: Win a title and shut up!

One has to agree with that assessment. Over the last 8 years, we’ve lost 30 games against teams with equal or inferior talent than we’ve had, nearly 4 a season. SEC and National Championship are out the door, before the kick-off against Buffalo bills. When our coach at our school, compared to all coaches at all other schools, is the # 35 coach in America over-all in win percentage, we’re not doing well. We’ve already won 6 National Championships in Football, so 2012 is not going to be # 6. We’re # 11 all-time in 1-A wins and our “10-win season 2011″ found in fact 27 other teams who accomplished 10-win season 2011 while we had the MOST LOSSES with 4 of the 27 teams, beat none of the 27 teams, have lost 7 games in a row to teams finishing AP Poll Top 10, have lost 9 games in a row to teams finishing AP Poll Top 25 and play at most 1 such team all 12 games of the regular season 2012. Missouri is not 1 of them.
MISSOURI :
Over the last 3 decades MISSOURI has sucked at football. 8-5 this season just ended, Missouri has a SORRY DEFENSE, SORRY SPECIAL TEAMS, and no passing game with James Franklin.
Missouri sportswriters out there, think Missouri got an EASY SCHEDULE. Uh, you play ALABAMA, Georgia, and South Carolina.
Georgia BEAT Missouri in the Orange Bowl SHUTTING OUT MISSOURI, 14-0.
I think Missouri will find that they will GIVE UP TONS OF POINTS vs SEC teams with their lack of anything but a running offense. I don’t think they have the tools to call their schedule, a punk schedule 2012. A schedule of SEC PUNKS.
Cannot see it.
# 77 in Won/Lost Record over the entire last 3 Decades
MISSOURI
160 Wins
185 LOSSES

160-185-7 over the last 3 Decades MISSOURI

And, Missouri has an easy schedule of PUNKS ?
The sportswriters in Kansas City Missouri think Missouri has a 2012 schedule of SEC Punks ?
I don’t think so.
The PUNKS on The SEC Schedules 2012 are MISSOURI Tigers.
Missouri has fared better against SEC teams than Texas A&M, that is for sure; but Missouri are the PUNKS 2012, not that some Kansas City sportswriter can write a story that Missouri has a schedule of SEC PUNKS.
# 77 football programs over the last entire 3 Decades
ARE PUNKS.

Missouri put forth the
# 61 NCAA Total Defense in 2011
Mizzou LOST its entire team from 2011.

# 50 Net Punting
# 55 Punt Returns
# 53 Kick-Off Returns
# 94 Pass Defense
# 54 Sacks of Opposing Quarterbacks
# 71 on 3rd Down Conversions with your Offense
# 75 on 3rd Down Conversions allowed by your Defense
You get 50,000 fans at your stadium most games in the middle of nowhere, 1500 miles round-trip for me. Your stadium will be filled with Bulldogs. You have no idea what you are in for in The SEC. You don’t have a football team.
8-5 and you are world-beaters ?
I hardly think so. UGA is starting the season out ranked # 6 in the nation. Your running game will NOT be better than our running game. And, that’s all you’ve got : a running game.
It is a poor match-up Mizzou running offense against UGA’s Stout Rush Defense.
MIZZOU KEY LOSSES for 2012 :
___________________________
OFFENSE: Jerrell Jackson-WR, Wes Kemp-WR, Michael Egnew-TE, Jayson Palmgren-OG, Austin Wuebbels-OG, Dan Hoch-OT, Grant Ressel-K
DEFENSE: Jacquies Smith-DE, Terrell Resonno-DT, Dominique Hamilton-NG, Luke Lambert-SLB, Trey Hobson-CB, Kenji Jackson-SS
Mizzou is picked to come in # 42 next season. Welcome to The SEC. Missouri has lost its entire football team this off-season, except for its running quarterback and its running backs.

If Richt has to worry about a team like Mizzou in 2012, his days at UGA are numbered, I don’t care what Ears McGarity and the POS Adams tries to sell the public. He is expected to win the SEC this season. Not the EAST Title. The SEC Title. Getting to the BCS Title Game will be much harder for UGA now that Richt has embarrassed the program in 2008 and beyond. An undefeated season will not even guarantee a spot in the BCS for UGA, because there will be so many media pundits bashing the Dawgs. Richt simply can not continue to lose to his peers by margins of 30-40 points as he has done on numerous occasions for the last several years. This is Mark Richt’s most crucial football season that he has EVER been associated with in any form or fashion.

What secondary ?
We used to have a secondary, all those years…
I would not put forth the concept that we have a secondary 2012, that we had one in 2011, that we had one in 2010, that we had one in 2009, that we had one in 2008, that we had one in 2007, that we had one in 2006…
Our numbers looked good on Pass Defense, last year ALONE 2011, but we beat no one who ended up in the AP Poll Top 25, losing EVERY GAME as we did in 2010 too.
When we play teams who can pass the football, which doesn’t happen very often with 10 games last season 2011 against teams who did not end up in the Top 25 and didn’t happen very often with 9 games in 2009 against teams who did not end up in the Top 25, we are helpless against the pass.
Stephen Garcia was far better against us that Aaron Murray was against him 2011 and 2010. Boise State’s QB picked our Secondary apart too, far better than Aaron Murray did their Secondary. Michigan State drove right down the field for the win in the last game, picking us apart, again far better than Aaron Murray did their Secondary. Even LSU took us to the cleaners 42-10, again far better than Aaron Murray did to their Secondary. Arkansas’ QB pasted us the year before last, again far better than Aaron Murray did their Secondary. Even Chris Relf of Missy State threw for 2 passing TD and ran for 109 yards against us, again far better than Aaron Murray managed against their Secondary as well the year before last. Even the Colorado QB did far better against us throwing and running than Aaron Murray did against their Secondary the year before last and they went 6-7 but beat us as well, as a direct result. Florida’s Quarterbacks the year before last, also did far better against our Secondary than Aaron Murray did against their Secondary, especially taking into account all the myriad of errors by our QB against their Secondary. Cam Newton was just silly better, while again Aaron Murray was not close to being as successful against their Secondary as Cam Newton pasted us with, and UCF again, their QB was far superior to what Aaron Murray could do against that opponent from the Conference USA.

All I can keep thinking about, was our last two games. The defense played it’s heart out for three quarters against LSU, then just ran out of gas because our offense was non-existent. Way to many three and outs. Now, flash forward to bowl game. Once again, defense played lights out for three and a half quarters. Our offense was pathetic. Mich St. finally wore defense down enough to eke out a win. Of course they had lot’s of help with the worst decision making of any coaching staff in UGA history. What will make upcoming season any different ?

Lakedawg, after you said Mark Richt would lose 1 game last season, he Lost Four (4) Games last season. This does NOT make you a better Bulldogs’ fan to run in here every off-season and BRAG how great Mark Richt and Mike Bobo are going to be – and, then, like Mark Richt and Mike Bobo BLAME Aaron Murray saying that Mark Richt and Mike Bobo cannot throw the football for Aaron Murray. This is what YOU SAID about last season all off-season last year, Lakedawg. And, this is what you said after the season.
Mark Richt is 67-30 over the last 8 years now. Mark Richt has Lost 30 games the last 8 years against teams with Inferior or Equal Talent, using the Scout.com Rankings over the previous 4 years prior to the game, which is nearly 4 Losses a season over the last 8 years, according to Coaches By The Numbers.
You running in here this off-season bragging how Mark Richt is the BEST COACH in The Entire SEC, is just more of the same with you. This also does NOT make you a better Bulldogs’ Football fan than I, sir. It only serves to make Mark Richt’s job here a cushy easy job, and puts no pressure of actually beating the good teams he plays – which he has NEVER done here, Lakedawg, sir.
You make up B.S., provide no URL Link to the B.S. you make up, LIE about what Mark Richt has done against the top teams, and when faced with the URL Links to the FACTS about what Mark Richt is NOT DOING against the better teams, you call me a Georgia tek fan. There is not 1 poster who reads that LAME weak post and thinks, oh my Gracious, Lakedawg, has finally hit on it : Thomas Brown is a Georgia tek fan – uh, no, that does not stick – not anymore than your B.S. that the Best Coach in The SEC is Mark Richt facing the facts of the 6 SEC teams in a Row who Won The National Championship, and Mark Richt not among them.
Mark Richt isn’t the best coach in The SEC. Far from it. He is mid-pack. He is paid mid-pack. He has performed mid-pack. His results are mid-pack. The only area where he is not mid-pack is his recruiting, which just makes it all the more obvious that he cannot coach.
Over the last 8 years, Mark Richt has had Top 10 Best Recruit Rankings according to Scout.com with an Average Ranking over the 8 years of # 8.
35 OTHER coaches at their schools over these last entire 8 years, have a BETTER win percentage Overall than Mark Richt, despite his Top 10 recruiting rankings according to Scout.com. He is merely 67-30 for a miserable win percentage of 69 % over these last 8 years of Top 10 Recruiting Rankings. He has Better Talent, and Loses 30 such games the last 8 years.
There ISN’T A COACH in The SEC that bad of ALL the Top SEC teams :

As I recall last year’s start, the Bulldogs appeared to be in poor physical shape. The D, in particular, were gasping for breath with their hands on their hips, and their faces towards the Georgia sideline hoping that someone would notice that they were out of gas. This was near the middle of the second quarter. That’s on the coaches, folks. Contract extention, contract extention?? Are you kidding me?
Please lets not award ourselves the National Championship just yet. We don’t have National Championship caliber coaches. When you demand better performance from your coaches, you are more likely to get better performance from your team. Just listen to Nick’s players.
If winning ten against weak sisters floats your boat, just blow right on by here. If it don’t, think about this continuing problem. Let’s put a little shine back on the Red and Black!

Mark Richt has LOST the last 7 games in a row vs teams who ended the season in the AP Poll Top 10.
Mark Richt has LOST the last 9 games in a row vs teams who ended the season in the AP Poll Top 25.
It hardly does your case any justice to run in here and state that Mark Richt is the
BEST COACH IN THE SEC
because YOU SAY Mark Richt has the BEST RECORD of all SEC Coaches in his timeframe his Mark Richt Era since 2001, eleven years, against over .500 teams.
over the last 11 years comparing Mark Richt with all other SEC Coaches over his Mark Richt era.
YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU ARE READING
Lakedawg.
What you are reading is
GAME DISTRIBUTION.
It says NOTHING about win percentage vs the Game Distribution.
It says GAME DISTRIBUTION.
http://coachesbythenumbers.com/coach-rankings/?reportId=33&c2001=on&c2002=on&c2003=on&c2004=on&c2005=on&c2006=on&c2007=on&c2008=on&c2009=on&c2010=on&c2011=on&minimumExperience=1&conferenceSelect=All&onlyConferenceYears=on&customizeViewSubmitted=Update+Ranking
Mark Richt has NOT WON the HIGHEST PERCENTAGE of games against teams with over a .500 percent win percentage when he played him.
It says NOTHING about winning or losing those games. It discusses ONLY
GAME DISTRIBUTION.
Georgia tek fan Lakedawg, showing your IGNORANCE as a Georgia tek fan like Georgia tek is so bloody great with their # 52 average recruiting class for Paul Johnson every year.
You cannot even read a URL Link and know what you are looking with the URL Link providing you what it is that they are presenting.
By the way, Lakedawg, there are SEVERAL Coaches in The SEC over the 11 years of Mark Richt era, who in fact have played MORE GAMES against teams over .500 as a percentage of their total games played than Mark Richt.
For example :
66.67 % Steve Spurrier SC games played vs over .500 teams
71.43 % Jackie Sherrill MS games played vs over .500 teams
65.97 % Mark Richt GA games played vs over .500 teams
in the Mark Richt era, the last 11 years, sir, comparing Mark Richt in his time over the last 11 years with all the other coaches in The SEC in their time at their school.
So, what we have is that Mark Richt did NOT play the LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF HIS GAMES vs teams over .500 in his Mark Richt era the last 11 years than SEVERAL other SEC coaches in their time at their school by DIRECT CONTRAST.
You are searching for an EXCUSE here anyway, since what it measures is GAME DISTRIBUTION, not
WIN PERCENTAGE vs over .500 teams.
