Even if Florida is ripe to be had, has UGA ripened yet?

Tebow not playing well is more a result of not having Percy Harvin and Louis Murphy than anything else. Tebow is killing it on the ground. They had some injuries and they don’t have anywhere near what they have had at the receiver position. He’s got Hernandez and Cooper and a whole lot of young question marks. Harvin and Murphy were special players who never go their true due at Florida.

Right, Mark. This is not Dooley’s Dawgs that used to show up at the Gator Bowl with a gleam in their eye, and knew they were the real favorite, no matter what the Gators were ranked. This is 2009 and Willie’s soft D is just what Tebow needs to get back on track.

Mark, you’re not so much of a UGA Homer today as you displayed yesterday.
Good objective article!
I believe the curs could win this weekend if the Gators have their traditional yearly defensive holiday as they had against Mississippi last year and the Gators continue to display the lack of pass/rush balance. Whether it be from the lack of good fast experienced receivers (due to losing 3 to injurys before the season started)or Tim’s concussion or a combination of both, Tebow and the Gators passing offense is “suckin’ hind tit” and if Cox, Green, and UGAs running backs have a good day, it wouldn’t surprise me if they pull out a close victory.

That said…… GO GATORS!!!!!

There is no way it’ll happen this year. FL’s D is too good so if they score 14, that’ll be enough, but they’ll probably score 45 and get Baby Jesus/Meyer’s spooning buddy’s heisman campaign back on track. After tech puts 50 on us, Willie can then get another big raise at the end of the season and we can continue to watch mediocre football for at least 1 more season. Sickening…

With no running game, our chances are greatly, greatly reduced. If we could run it (and we can’t), I think we would have a decent chance against a Gator team that can be had.

Just for fun, remember Steve Spurrier? LOL.

He was asked a few years back why he had such a thing (let’s call it chip in his shoulder combined with a vicious streak) about UGA.

His answer surprised me (because I didn’t know this). He said that several of his assistant coaches were players with him at UF when he was there and that, while he was at Florida, they NEVER beat Georgia. So, they had a special place in his heart and on his beat down list.

Florida never beat Georgia while Spurrier was playing? That seems like a VERY long time ago.

I’m afraid Saturday is going to show us, up close and personal, exactly how long ago that was. The gap has grown to ridiculous proportions.

IF UGA wants to rank up there with the best, they don’t have to look around the nation at Southern Cal or Ohio State (or in the past, Michigan), Notre Dame (not any more, maybe one day), Penn State or anywhere else. They only have to look across the line of scrimmage this Saturday in Jacksonville.

And to the UF sidelines.

Excellence. Accountability. Imagination. Coaching.

That’s what it looks like.

But, hey, I’m no Florida fan (yech — say next to the Florida band one year — do that once and you’ll never have a kind word to say about that school or its fans again), but I do give credit where it’s due. And, on the field, that’s where we want to be. And anybody who thinks we’re even in the same zip code with that program right now is smoking something only legal for medicinal purposes in Oregon.

I’ve got a suggestion. Let’s ask UF if they want to swap coaching staffs. What do you think they’d say?

Give it all you’ve got, Dogs. Every journey (even up the steepest hill) begins with the first step. Maybe Saturday can be the first for UGA to climb back up there. Where they should be.

As a long time Dawg supporter I have been trying to dream up a scenerio that has the Dawgs pulling off an upset. There is not one short of the Gators forgetting what day the game is and not showing up.

1. The Gator defense is too good for our offense even on a bad day.
2. We made J. Crompton look like a Heisman candidate so the clouds will probably part and Tebow will asend after he plays his best game of the year.

How have we praticed different to get ready for the Gators? We haven’t.
What different offensive and defensive schemes will we put in for the Gators? It probably won’t matter. It is a sad state of affairs when you can’t see any way to win and just hope you don’t get embarrassed. That sux.

…against MSU and AR is because Urban did not game plan for either game – he KNEW his team was better than those teams and has spent the last three weeks preparing for the beat down the Gators will again put on the Dawgs. He knew that UGA had the open week before the game, so he decided to spend 3 weeks preparing his guys.

And believe me, as many of you have already said, it is going to butt ugly come Saturday – the game will be over by the end of the first quarter, and the Dawg fans will have to endure another 2 1/2 hours of utter frustration as the D will not be able to slow down the team in blue and orange.

You heard it here first – if WM remains as DC for next year, then he and MR will be both be gone after next season. WM has not shown in any of the seasons in which he has been DC that he is even remotely up to the task. After the repeated failures of our defense under WM for no changes to be made this off-season in DC merely means that MR is more loyal to his friends than to the program, players, alumni, and fans. If that is the case, the outcry will be too loud for Damon Evans, who has already expressed concerns about this season and this year’s team, to wait another year for Richt to show that he can learn what Kifflin alrready knows, a great defense will keep you in games you have no business being in.

Ok. Here’s some optimism for all my Dawg friends out there.
1. Dawgs are 2 – 6 against Florida since 2001 where the average margin of victory is less than 7 points a game even including last year’s blowout. 2 – 6 is not particularly good, but I can’t think of many teams who’ve done better and played them tighter than UGA.
2. Dawgs are coming off an OFF week where the record is a perfect 6 – 0 for the OFF week team when the other team plays.
3. No ones giving the dawgs a chance. Remember 1985? A win that year seemed less likely than 2009.
4. The dawgs finally had a chance to catch their breath. Think about it, it was the biggest game in OSU’s history and Joe’s playing with the flu, followed up by 4 nailbiters in a row – SC, Ark, ASU and LSU. Tennessee was the big letdown after getting screwed by the official in the LSU game and the boys gutted it out in Nashville last week. They’ve now had a chance to get well, circle the wagons, and get a little ticked off.

I like that Florida hasn’t been playing well. We still have something to prove going into this game. Brandon Spikes has been walking the sidelines like a caged lion the past two games due to a nagging hamstring. He returns against UGA along with two other starters on D. For UGA to keep it close they are going to have to move the ball on us through the air. That puts a lot of burden on Cox/AJ/OLine to perform. Hopefully our offense figures something out by Saturday.

Mark – now that you picked UGA to lose – I am nervous!!!

Just kidding – this game will have the GATORS pulling away be the end of the third (if the game is not a blowout by half) – and the Georgia stands will be empty mid way 4th quarter (as is the tradition!)

WHY?
FLORIDA DEFENSE vs UGA OFFENSE (UGA will not score an offensive touchdown – and may not get to the red zone (sound familiar – go VOLS!)

GEORGIA DEFENSE vs FLORIDA OFFENSE – although UGA is respectable against the run – it will have a hard time stopping FLORIDA’S DIVE – which will open our passing game.

This game is basically a scrimmage to work on our offense. What Vandy is to Georgia – Georgia is to FLORIDA.

My advice to GEORGIA fans:
1. Come on down and use this weekend as a celebration of college football – have fun and party!
2. Do not get emotionally invested into the outcome of the game – the UGA football program has slipped big time…… and has been slipping since 2005. Without STAFFORD or MORENO to cover up issues – this season is merely a moment of clarity to the real status of the UGA football program.
3. Do not be concerned about keeping up or competing against FLORIDA – UGA needs to be concerned about being below the middle of the pack – and trying to figure out how to catchup to TENNESSEE and OLE MISS….. and maybe South Carolina, Auburn and KY.

I am betting that Mississippi STATE will have been the better opponent against FLORIDA AND GEORGIA TECH – than UGA. Their is ZERO respect in the league right now for your Defense and your running game. without AJ GREEN – UGA is looking at 1-6 – possibly 0-7.

Travel safe – party hard – have fun – and know that gymnastics is right around the corner!!!

While unlikely due to some coaching problems on our end, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit to see Georgia put it together this weekend and get the upset. If they worry too much about neutralizing AJ, our backs might get some running room and control the clock. If they don’t, throw it up to AJ and see what happens. He has proven himself time and time again. This weekend, those awful refs won’t be able to interfere.

Reading this it was hard to say but a lot of things you said Bradley were true. Yes, the Gators are vulnerable and yes, Tebow isn’t as good as he was last year. But hear is you “not so fast my friend” back to you Bradley. I think this team can do it in Jacksonville. Now granted I might be totally wrong but I just have that itchy feeling. Georgia seems like they thrive in these situations. When they seem to be horrible, nobody likes them, everybody criticizes them, like you are doing and they seem to come and just mess everything up. Remember Auburn in 2006. Number five team in the country, Georgia was the worst team ever losing to Kentucky and Vandy and look what they did. They dominated Auburn and that propelled them throughout the rest of the season.

Now Georgia is going to have to lay mistake and pretty much a perfect game Saturday to have a chance. I believe we are going to have to hit some big play early and that big play has got to be made. Whether it is a deep catchable ball or a trick play, we have to connect. The bye week is HUGE. Remember that is what Dooley used to do is schedule the bye week before Florida and that didn’t turn out to bad did it? Georgia has beaten the past two national champs the following year, LSU in 08 and Florida in 07. Plus it’s Jacksonville and on top of it it’s Halloween! I believe this game is going to be close and special for the Dawgs. I have been having this feeling for the last two weeks. No matter how bad the Dawgs are, they seem to get one team each year when no one gives them a shot. I believe in the Dawgs and I believe something special might be brewing down in Jacksonville Saturday night.

Really without Stafford and Moreno we are sunk? What did those cats do last year anyway against the gators? Don’t get me wrong I am proud that those guys were dawgs but they didn;t seem to have it working last year in Gainesville.

The scary thing about Tebow not playing well lately, is that he is type of person who will use that to motivate him. He has the potential to enter this game with a level of resolve that can make for a long day for the Dawgs. In addition, Georgia can’t be competitive without a running game. Why should we assume Georgia will show one this weekend? If Georgia can somehow run the ball, it might be interesting……..for a while.

Georgia would have to do what Arkansas did – play amazing defense with a bunch that isn’t all that great (I still have no idea what fired up the Arkansas defense but it looked amazingly good against Florida – not at all like the group that played Georgia). Then Georgia would have to establish some sort of a running game – even if it isn’t productive we would have to run the ball. Then Florida would have to help out a little with turnovers. If all those things happen, Georgia can win.

Mark…what game did you watch when Florida played Miss. State? I loved your biased comment about the Gators…”it took a phantom interception to escape Starkville with a 10 point victory.” Well, dude, if Tebow hadn’t thrown two TD passes to Miss. State, Florida would have won the game by 40 points. The same will be in this weekend’s game. If Tebow and the Gators don’t turn the ball over, they will will cover the Vegas margin and much more. If they turn it over more than once, the game will be closer than expected. If they turn it over 3 or 4 times, the Bulldogs will most likely win the game. So, the Dawgs can’t win the game, but the Gators can lose it. My bet, Florida 27, Georgia 14, with Georgia scoring once on a Florida turnover deep in its own territory and scoring again late in the game when the score is 27-7. No Georgia win this weekend. Only Florida can lose it. It has been that way all year. No one will beat the Gators this year. The Gators might beat themselves, however.

Florida will be fine in this game because they will finally put together a complete game offense, defense and the all important passion. UF was up for the Tennessee game but came out and laid an egg, this is a die hard Florida fan saying Urban Meyer was out coached by Lane Kiffin if just by virtue of being shocked at how up Tennessee was for that game, Florida won on talent and depth alone.

You saw the real Gators the first half against Kentucky, then we all know what happened after that. The Gators were up for LSU and the defense was lights out but Tebow was obviously fuzzy. I said since July that Arkansas set up as the same type of trap game as Ole Miss but the fact the Gators over came it shows how far they’ve come since then. Against MSU they again came out flat they are #1 they don’t have to impress anyone and they were playing a sub par team. At some you would think it will come together and everyone will be on their came and playing with passion and this seems to set up to be that game.

If we are going to pull this upset we need the running game to get going for one. Also need to finally win the turn over battle (which I think we are over due for) and on defense force Tebow to run wide and cut off the option. Make him beat us throwing and hopefully we can get some pass d from the d backs. Then we need a big play early to help “spark” us. And I was going to say a Boykin Kick off return for a td but that would just put our d right back on the field negating the idea of getting the running game going and keeping the d off the field. Not too much to ask is it?

BTW what is the status of Spikes and the other 2 on defense that were not playing last saturday? Maybe that could help get the running game going.

UGA will not beat UF. This UGA team is pretty much a Goff team clone. Last Friday night I attended a HS game and honestly either of the two teams on that field that night could beat UGA.

The UGA fans who say dawgs will win are either just homers or trying to stir the pot so that Techies or Gators will take the bait and flame back. It’s truly difficult for me to believe that any reasonably thinking dawgs fan seriously believes the dawgs will win.

And if CMR remains stubborn about his staff and refuses to fire anybody (my money says he won’t) then next year will be a re-run.

We are lite years away from being a true SEC calibre team without some major staff changes. I’m at the point where I agree with the various posters who’ve suggested we defect from the SEC and join another conference. Maybe the Big East or ACC would be for us.

I can’t believe that I’m going to say what I’m about to say, but after being critical of Cox all year, I feel that you’ll see a much more poised and in control Cox…even though it was Vandy, Cox looked more relaxed behind center and w/ Bobo on the sidelines he should be more composed as Bobo will explain what he needs to do, or what he had done right, or wrong…UGA have good athletes that can match up to any team in the BCS…I suspect that there will be a few new wrinkles added to get the ball to the TE and quick slants and then they’ll start pounding the ball while mixing in passes…the key will be to control the ball and keeping the D fresh & rested…another biggie is if Bobo can handle Cox in a way that he doesn’t beat himself…Florida’s running backs are small and quick/fast so the D needs to keep them running towards the sidelines and then turn them inside and knock the crap out of them, don’t let them get OUTSIDE…Cox has to get the ball to someone other than AJ, I’ll bet that Orson is sky high and ready to make some big plays, just get him the BALL and if they’re double teaming AJ someone else has to be open (come on O line hold the blocks just a little longer…again it will be up to Bobo to get out of Cox the kind of play that he and CMR have been espousing all year that “He gives us the best chance to win,” well it’s put up or shut up…if Cox delivers, then this will pick up the whole team…college ball is played with a lot of emotion and there are certain games where you can throw records out the window…this is a huge rivalry game, so anything can happen…I can’t believe I just gave Cox a vote of confidence, but I still feel he should never have been the starting QB

I think I just put more thought in this email than Willie has all year.

Wow, look at all the responses!

Mark, comparing scores against Miss State…and you’ve been writing about college football for how long? Please. Tech as ZERO defense and Florida is #1 on D. Florida would slaughter Tech just like Miami did. Tech still has to beat UGA who will score in the 40s again this season. Only question is can they slow Tech with an abnormally good day.

Oh yeah, defense wins championships. UF has a D. Georgia does not but could if they had a decent scheme. Unless Martinez has changed the scheme (yeah, right), UF will beat UGA something like 34-17. UGA will move the ball through the air, but cannot run. No run game, no chance. UF will break 30 points (yet another 30+ point day for a team facing the vaunted Martinez D).

Willie and Richt know that they can salvage an average year with a huge win this weekend. Willie will scheme up the game of his life, and the offense will click on all cylinders. No officiating crew will be able to steal this one. Georgia by at least 10.

Keep drinking that Koolaid, you mangy Mutts. Last preacher man handing out so much Koolaid was in Guyana by the Right Reverand Jim Jones. Bulldawg Nation will be miserable until the Georgia State Patrol escorts Preacher Man Mark Richt and his Deacons Bozo and Willie south of the GA-FLA state line… Then, Hope will return (hopefully without the other Slick Willie or Barrie Obamie). That’s right, dawgg…

Keys to victory:

1. Defense has to pressure from the ends to take away the option and Rennie will be there to clean up the middle.
2. Offense has to utilize our speed with Brandon Smith and Carlton thomas on the outside for the big burst. That will open up-
3. Solid runs from King and Ealey.
4. Someone has to knock Tebow in the mouth.

BB – We were all told that the OL and DL would be the strengths of this team this year.
Well “they” were wrong. We can’t run block for some reason.
Stacey S. has been called the best best OL line coach in the country.

45ACP – As to the OL issues, how could it be worse than last year? So many injuries then, and Sturdivant again this year. The optimism must have been predicated on them returning and staying healthy.

Much has been made about CMR tellin the Florida db that Willie isn’t going anywhere. Let’s look at that. I conclude that CMR means that he isn’t going to fire Willie, an easy conclusion. The flip side of that is Willie will obtain gainful employment elsewhere and submit his resignation. In that instance, that will be an act of football friendship and with it, CMR remains truthful.

As to The World’s Biggest Outdoor Cocktail Party, I am a Georgia fan first last and always. But I’m not delusional on account of that. How we will run on those folks will be question that we don’t want to see the answer to. We’re averaging 108 y/p/g. And Charlie Strong’s charges are first in the land on D. This is not an irresistible force meeting an immovable object. gators 31, Dawgs 6.

In 2007 the Dawgs sacked Tebow 6 times.
I have to believe that the defense has to get after Tebow for all 4 quarters.
Lots of pressure. If not we can expect a long day, not good.

Here’s an idea. Charles and White TE post to the middle of the field. UF plays their Safeties deeper than anyone to keep from giving up the big play. There has to be 10-15 yrd. routes in the middle of the field to the TE. Also take some shots deep with Green and King. Even if the are not successful, it will keep the safeties back and the middle open for the TE.

Unless UF has been holding out, they don’t have a vertical passing game. That in itself will help our DBs. All they need to do is wrap up and stop YAC. The TE for UF is key. UGA needs to chip him off the line every snap.

45ACP and jason,
you startgetting all complicated with weird fronts and scheams when you’v been playing bad basic fundamental defense all along, all you do is make things WORSE. We did this sort of stuff a couple of weeks back and we were TERRIBLE. FSU game is a prime example! Went back to basics and played better, but still not where we need to be. Play good basic coverages, look at the arkensas film, look at Miss State.

Georgia Tech, My thoughts on Atkins at DE is that he has played DE off and on all season. I think more beef is needed on the DL to clog running lanes so the faster LBs can make the tackles.

We will not win a National Championship as long as Coach Martinez is the Defensive Coordinator. Even though our offense has had a couple of bad games this year, the offense overall for the last several years, has been pretty good. The sad thing is that the weakest part of the defense is the secondary, and that is supposed to be Coach Martinez’s specialty. I am sure that Coach Martinez is a wonderful man, but he is hurting the football program. I am a Georgia fan, but if I had a son that had NFL potential, my first concern would be the development of my son, and that unfortunately would rule out him playing for Coach Martinez. Coach Richt, please make a change! I know you are loyal to Coach Martinez, but your first loyalty needs to be to the players. Don’t let your love for Coach Martinez limit the potential of our program. Coach Richt, let me ask you something? Did our defense look well coached against Colorado’s tight end two years ago? How long did it take to make an adjustment? Forever! Did our defensive secondary look well coached against Tennessee a couple weeks ago? No, it was embarrassing! How many times were the receivers wide open when Crompton ran a bootleg? Too many to count! How long did it take to make adjustments? Forever, or never. A good Coach can look bad here and there, but a good coach and his staff make adjustment shortly. Coach Martinez does not even make decent adjustments. You want to see a good coach make adjustments? Watch Coach Paul Johnson at GT. Several times this year another team came into the game with a great gameplan to shut down a phase of his offense. And they shut it down for a series or two or even longer, but then he makes an adjustment and kicks their butt the second half. That is what I want out of our defensive coaches at Georgia– the ability to figure it out and make the necessary ADJUSTMENTS. That is called COACHING!!! Coach Martinez is getting paid to be a good coach, but he apparently has not figured it out. PLEASE HIRE SOMEONE WHO CAN FIGURE IT OUT! Coach VanGorder could make adjustments, Coach Kirby Smart can make adjustments, Coach Tenuda can make adjustments, BUT IT IS OBVIOUS THAT OUR CURRENT DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR CAN NOT AND HAS NOT FIGURED IT OUT! I live in Athens and I love Georgia, but the Truth is the Truth!

Georgia fans need to look at the game from this perspective. If they should beat FL, and, by some miracle, beat Tech, then they are going to be stuck with Willie for at least one more year, plus the other incompetents on Richt’s overpaid staff. There will be no way Richt will voluntarily get rid of them, and Adams will not force him to fire them. For the long term good of the program, would it not be better to lose convincingly to both UF and Tech in order to make sure that Richt is forced to can Martinez and the other incompetents so that there might be a better future?

Cuz, I disagree to a point with your game plan. I believe we open the game conservatively, run, short dump passes, run. Don’t make any mistakes offensively giving UF something cheap. However, I don’t believe Richt and Bobo know how to do this. Of course that’s assuming Willie’s D will play with some discipline and keep us in the game. If not we have no choice but to air it out playing catch up, then you’re right on. Each defensive man has an assignment in the spread with so many options. We just have to stick to them and our guy has to make the play.

If playing the Gators isn’t enough motivation alone, remember Urban rubbing it in your faces last year, calling time outs. If that isn’t enough, remember Florida is #1, the Dawgs can ruin the season of their mosted hated, feared rival. If that isn’t enough, remember you’re representing UGA. If that isn’t enough to show up ready to play I don’t know what is.

With three days before the game, it’s about time for a reality check for Dawg fans who actually think they have a chance to win. The most likely outcome is that the Gators will win by 40-50 points. Florida is going for the BCS ranking, and that means they’ll run up the score as much as they can, just like last year. Putting a very bad UGA team up against Florida is like Washita High School playing the Super Bowl winner, it’s no contest.

Now, in the very best case for UGA, which means that Richt and staff actually make a few smart decisions; UGA players have had enough reading lessons that they can read a playbook; all UGA players who have been arrested are out on parole and have their heavy ankle monitors removed; and Meyer feels in a charitable mood, the Gators will still win by 30 points.

So start drinking early, you’ll need to be seriously anesthesized by game time.

This is going to be soooooo much fun to watch.

Maybe they’ll remove the ankle bracelets from the UGA players who are on parole. That would help the Dawgs be a little faster.

Dogs lose in another blow out. UGA will be open over the middle with the Florida tight end catching Tebow’s soft lobs and they will destroy UGA all day with that and the Tebow dive and the play action off of the dive. Bryan Evans and Reshad Jones will be lost in space. LOST they will be. They also will catch UGA with a fake punt and a couple of end arounds and that will be enough to totally destroy UGA and Wille Martinez’s D and Mike booboo’s O. Pathetic it will be.

UGA will look like a sloppy peewee football team. THIS GAME might be the trick for the fans to really get up in arms with pitch forks. I for one, sure hope that they do scream to high heavens for change that we can count on.

Until we re tool 100% with new coaches top to bottom, UGA will continue to wallow around on the field. I look for Marvin Brown and one or two others to leave UGA at season’s end because they know that it ain’t what they signed up for.

Who will throw to them in the future? Aaron Murray is 5′10″ and is actually SHORTER than Cox. Logan Gray ??or Zack Mettenberger is 6′4″ and might be the future in TWO MORE years but not right now. Logan at QB? Who knows?? I would use Logan Gray at flanker asap.

Richt has shown time and time gain that he is stubbornly holding on to his staff. Any organization from time to time needs to re tool. UGA is stale with the entire coaching staff. Look at the results for the last two years. It has become a jobs program entirely. Not one coach ( except Garner and Searels) would be lured away to another school. Not one.

The season will take an ugly downturn after the Florida game with an ugly and sloppy UGA win over Tenn Tech, then ugly losses to KY, Auburn and Tech. The conference has passed UGA by and the UGA administrators do not get it. After the two or three losses to either KY, Auburn and tech, maybe they will.

Florida 47-UGA 13

Go Dogs.
