We blew them out, regardless of the cosmetic scores in the 4th. If a guy rushes for 5 TD’s, then you’re dominating. Plus, isn’t Kentucky the highest scoring offense in the SEC (or second?)? Let’s take the inferior offense of the gaytors out of the game early and let Ealey and King run wild next week! GO DAWGS!

The worlds largest cocktail party features two crappy teams, both unranked. UF 4-3 and sucking and UGAG 4-4 and always sucking. Have fun losing again in Jax for 18-21. Now, that’s an incredible stat to be happy about. Also, you won’t beat AUBURN, and you won’t beat GT. I think you can beat Idaho State, but not really sure. Your team sucks, so just admit it. Also, you brag about the almighty SEC, but the SEC East is weak as crapola. Hey, Give UGA VIII a bag of ice to lay on, pass around the red panties and get fired up for a game in JAX that doesn’t even matter. THWG! Hey, great win over powerhouse KY though.

Glad we got help from Ky with the early turnovers, or UGA would have lost. We continue to be helpless at stopping teams on third and long, or, second and long. TD passes thrown against us that the DB’s never see. They don’t even make a play on the ball. Ky had receivers wide open all night on third and long and UGA can’t do the same. Outcoached once again.

Let me say that a “W” is a “w”. However, as a loyal but critical Dawg fan, I think Bobo’s play calling was absolutely horrific in this game. Thank God that Ealey showed up for this game. It’s good to see him back to form and capable of handeling all the carries instead of splitting them with Caleb. Does kentucky have someone that can Match AJ, Orson Charles, Kris Durahm, etc? The answer is no. I saw time after time opportunities to play action ot AJ or one of the other targets, but we cont. to run the ball. props go to the O line, hell of a game guys. Geathers has made an immediate impact. What gives with our secondary and our D as a whole? They should have kept the Cats under 20 points but gave up with the game in hand. I hope the coaches noticed that too. Not trying to be doen right now, again, a win is a win. I’ll take it. Let’s go beat Fla’s azz!

UGA is the most awesomest team ever in the history of college football. In the most awesomest conference in the history of sports. Take the best teams from the Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-10, Big East, AFC South, NFC South, American League East, and they would still finish at the bottom of the Greatest Conference Ever. And Georgia is clearly the best team now IN THAT CONFERENCE!! Wow!!! Georgia will beat Florida 124-0. Then, it will be close, but they will beat Auburn 99-7 (Auburn will score because they do have Cam Newton and he’s OK). And pity the poor Yellow Jackets, my goodness those guys should just forfeit before someone gets hurt.

Nice column. I especially liked the 3-0 on a 60-yard field goal by Blair Walsh.

However, Walsh will have mono, Bogotay will have a tweaked hamstring, and UGA will win an a Drew Butler 64 yard field goal into the wind. Then Auburn groundskeepers will turn the hoses on UGA fans and sugar will fall from the sky as Larry Munson narrates from the broadcast booth while Scott Howard recovers from laryngitis.

Hey as long as long as this team is scoring points, thats all I care about. We don’t have any talent on defense, so I don’t care if we give up garbage TD’s at the end of the game. I think its obvious that Bobo is an idiot and that Mark Richt is a second tier coach, and a three game winning streak isn’t going to erase this fact. Its going to take a lot of luck for this team to make it to the SEC. But as long as they can put up points, we’ll have a shot vs. Florida.

Hershel Can’t Talker,

Really?

Maybe we could get Saban to coach at Georgia…. LOL

Do you people remember Ray Goff? Jim Donnan?

Remember Glenn Mason (thank god he turned us down)

Remember how many guys turned down 3/4 of a million last year to coach our defense?

How many VOLS fans are glad Phil Fulmer isn’t still coaching UT ….

Coaching changes are only sometimes good…look at Notre Dame….

Get a life…. We will win 3 of 4 remaining if not all 4…and a bowl….

saint richt finishes with 8 wins minimum…. nobody else gets arrested through next year….

Don’t you think he’s pissed about this season? The suspensions, the scrutiny, the distractions, the AJ debacle?.

Good game overall by the defense. There still seems to be a player or two not paying attention. That led to some wide open receivers on plays where the line got pressure but couldnt quite get the QB down. Still, the turnovers more than make up for that. I would have liked to see them hold UK off the scoreboard a little better, but overall, another solid effort by the D that continues to look much improved under Grantham.

I wish there could be cheers and high fives all around. But this UGA team is still lost. The play calling still stinks, the pass defense is atrocious, and the players who suck still strut like roosters after making a play they should make every day, but don’t and celebrate like they just won the game. Yes, still alive in the mighty SEC East — Florida has a week off to soothe their team and like always, Urban will have his way. Maybe not by a lot, but UGA will find a way to lose. I don’t even want to contemplate what Auburn and Cam Newton will do to UGA because it doesn’t even seem sporting. Bottom line, another season of what if’s and why not’s. CMR will do just enough to buy another year and we’ll be having these same debates a year from now. I wish, just once, a UGA team would actually play to win instead of not to lose.

Should Georgia beat Florida? Yes.

Will Georgia beat Florida? Probably not. And it won’t be the defense’s fault.

Why? Because Florida has the bye week before the game. AGAIN.

Because Mark Richt has a pathological inability to beat the Gators as the head coach of Georgia (never seemed to be a problem for him at FSU), especially when the Gators are ripe for beating (Zook years).

Plus, how many of us in BulldogNation will be on pins and needles, praying to Jesus and crossing our fingers that (insert player name here) won’t be arrested between now and Saturday?

Mark… the team is playing better on the field, that is true. This is no Willie Martinez soft as pillows defense. The offense is still not greatly managed by Mike Bobo (today notwithstanding), but they’re better with AJ. But do you trust this team off the field? I don’t.

I don’t trust them because in the five-plus seasons after BVG left, Richt’s soft hand lost control of a football program with arrest after arrest after arrest.

I hate that I have to hope that no one gets arrested this week before the Florida game. We shouldn’t even have to THINK about that.

Our Greatest Player EVER shouldn’t have to come out at tell our head coach that he’s lost control of the team and needs to take it back.

Win, lose, or whatever… I just want to get through this cursed season without any more embarrassments OFF the field.

You put far too much emphasis on this bye week. Florida’s problems aren’t going to be magically solved in 2 weeks and if they are then Urban Meyer is like the greatest college football coach of all time!

UGA can’t control whether or not Florida has a bye week. And they can’t focus on where they are in the SEC standings. All they can do is focus on their execution.If they prepare for Florida like they are a regular opponent as opposed to some insurmountable obstacle that they have to overcome, they will win their share of games vs. the Gators. Most of the years that the Dawgs have played the Gators, they were either equal or greater in talent than Florida( 2008 and 2009 being notable exceptions). But they lose because of the mental roadblock that Florida has over them. UGA has had little trouble beating Auburn and LSU the past few years. If you can beat these teams, you can beat Florida! But it won’t happen with gimmicks and uniforms it happens with execution( don’t let the 2007 endzone dance or Blackout games fool anyone. The Dawgs won both of those games by out executing Florida and Auburn). Trust me, if the Dawgs got out there and execute, they can beat Florida bye week or not.

The only thing that bothered me tonight was the unwillingness to go for more points with the ball at the 35, three timeouts left, and a little over a minute remaining in the first half.

That was about as conservative as it gets. In the end, it didn’t matter a bit.

Pass defense is horrible.. KY moved the ball at will against us. 3rd down conversions are simply too easy against us. Rambo is constantly out of postion and looks lost. Hopefully Ogletree can come along quick to give us some better coverage and tackling ability at the safety postion. Not too sure about this 3-4 scheme, looks like it doesnt transition well to the college game.

Grantham got burned on the blitzes for big plays all night long, that QB is really smart and Kentucky’s offense can score and put up yards. Thought it was dumb to blitz on them, they were having a hard time when Georgia dropped 7 or 8 into pass coverage with a lead. With a big lead, you don’t need to be blitzing, especially when you get burned. Cuff can’t handle 1 on 1 coverage against anybody, so you can’t blitz like that.

Fix that, and the defense holds them under 20 the rest of the year.

I don’t give a damn about Florida having a week off. We need to go out there and take it to them. We whine about all the different circumstances around that game almost every year, but we’ve had weeks off before that game and had our asses handed to us. It’s time to man up and bring a win home to Athens. Screw the Gators. Screw them into the hottest depths of Hell.

What happened to “Finish the Drill?” One major weakness a mid-level program like Georgia has is a coaching staff who doesn’t understand what Steve Spurrier does. You play 60 minutes and you don’t let up until the horn sounds. Why? Because you have a team that ISN’T as good as people think. UGA needs to develop a consistent attack, and that means play the game the same against Kentucky as you would against Florida or Auburn. That is how a team develops. Not by running around and laying down late in the game. Not by running in obvious passing situations. Bobo and Richt pulled back, and so did the defense. Kentucky was neck and neck with SC and Auburn. That was not the case tonight. UGA should have played a lot harder. This effort will come back to haunt them. I still see UGA finishing no better than 6-6. That means a slpit of the last 4 games. And please Mark, DO NOT accept a bowl game if you are 6-6. You do NOT deserve one.

I love bein a DAWG, but dang we make some dumb remarks on here.

Kentucky was down 28-10 at the half last week and won. S.C. lost cuz they did not have Lattimore for the end of the game (injury). We continued to score on the ground and that is a good thing.

Really, I would rather have Washaun rush for 150 than Aaron pass for 300 any day, cuz it almost gaurantees that we won.

Not only that, we have Sturdivant and Gates now starting on the O-Line. That unit needs to bond, and ain’t nothin’ better than a drive blocking party to bring 300 pounders together. We played intelligently and that’s why we won.

Why try to get into a pissin contest with a dynamic offense, when we can keep the ball away and burn clock?

The key to us beating UF this week is a mental thing. Looking at how the dawgs have played even with their lousy weakside secondary of Cuff and Rambo? There are no other apparent weaknesses from the last 3 games. One has to like the Dawgs chances in Jacksonville.

But can we get over the mental thing? UF just seems to have year after year great fortune and we do not. The challenge this week is not the x’s and o’s, but the psychology of a clear mind.

This should be a great week. All the trash talk, all the bragging, all the questions.

UGA has won three teams with losing records in the SEC. UF has lost three in a row against three ranked teams. UGA got beat on physically by a Kentucky team. UF had an off week to find some answers.

UGA has done a good job of making a run in the SEC East, while UF has fallen back to the rest of the SEC. But the 3 game playoff is still on. The real player still in control is USC. UGA will still need some help and who knows if they will or will not get it.

UGA has a good young quarterback, a O-Line who at one time was the strongest unit on the Dawg squad. UGA has had some suspensions, had some fumble issues, had some major holes. Playing 3 inferior teams has allowed UGA to experiment, and find a few answers. UF has lost three games and in all three flaws were exposed. While in others they were a bounce away from a win. But the football is shaped differently to get those odd bounces.

UGA played a hard nose Kentucky team, and took a physical beating compared to what UF had with an off weak. It would have gone a long way if UGA had been able to substitute more freely tonight, but they were only able to minimally substitute. While UF sat(probably in an off campus bar) and nursed some wounds from the first 8 weeks of the season.

UGA will have 6 days to develop a game plan, UF will have 13 days to develop a game plan. UGA is on a winning streak, UF is on a losing streak. So common thinking would be if you are winning you want to keep playing, and if you are losing you need a break. Well both teams will get their wish.

UGA has a strong running game with some power(not much, but some). UF has zero power running game. UF gets back Chris Rainey, UGA gets back Caleb King. UF gets some guys well, UGA will have a training room full of nicks and sprains.

UF has a very good defense, UGA has a below average defense. UGA has proven they can win on the road, UF has won on the road, but that was before the losing streak and against a poor Tennessee team who was still in the game going into the 4th quarter.

UF has a quarterback who was originally thought to be a top tier SEC quarterback, but those predictions have not been very accurate. UGA has a freshman(redshirt) who many thought could be a liabilty, he has held his own.

UF has a defense that for the most part has been pretty good, UGA has a defense who is hot and cold and really needs the opposition to turn the ball over on unforced errors. UF has been turning the ball over and that may be a problem for The Gators.

The biggest unknown is the IDLE week by UF, did they regroup, and if they did will they come out with a completely new package that may take a half for UGA to make adjustments to? Does UGA have anything left in its bag of tricks( it will be Halloween weekend)?

This should be a great week with all the smack talk, and name calling.

LSU falls to Auburn, but LSU gave Ole Miss a better idea how to slow Auburn( maybe a little) and can Auburn keep it up for 5 weeks in a row?

Alabama gets a week off to prepare for a poor offense LSU, but good defense LSU.

USC slips by Vandy on the road, and now has to keep their heads in the SEC East race.

Gonna be fun guys…

I hope some of you fair weather LOYAL fans are perhaps a little ashamed of yourselves for knocking the Bulldogs earlier and not taking stock of the circumstances of the team. New QB, new defensive scheme and all you can do is knock the coach and the team. This is a rebuilding year and just give the team a year to get into the flow, pick up a few big boys to bang on the front three, and they will be just fine. As for you idiots that enter this blog, just to make idiotic and childish remarks about UGA, go find a blog that might really need your comments. Giving up yards to a Ken. team that that was either first or second in most meaningful offensive categories is not a real big deal. It of course would be nice to have a shutdown defense but it will come. The defensive honcho will get them where they want to be in time. This team is a complete reversal from the first four games simply because they are getting into the scheme of the defense and the offense has more experience now. They can and should beat Florida, Iowa state and Georgia Tech. And if they can take advantage of the poor Auburn Defense, they might be able to outscore them as well. LSU,s defense showed the “Bend, not break”, mentality and had they had a better offense, would have beaten Auburn yesterday..

Hope you are right, Mark. KY moved the ball very well on our D last night. And Meyer has 2 weeks to prepare. But our offense took advantage of the short field in the first half, our game plan in the second half (run, dummy) was sound, and UF’s offense has an identity crisis because the QB Meyer wanted this year wears an Auburn jersey courtesy of his fondness for lap tops. Can’t argue that momentum is a factor, though, and we have it. If Houston and the boys can keep the pressure on Brantley next week then there is no reason this team cannot beat UF.

Life is full of people who are more than willing to be critical about someone else’s performance. Worry about your own and life gets so much better. Will bet most Tennessee fans will admit that is true now – Fullmer was the problem – does not appear so. In fact, old Phillip may have been and may still be, the solution. Go DAWGS!

It is funny that anyone critical of Richt and his thugs is considered a Tech fan and ordered to go elsewhere. There was never a question about the talent of this Georgia football team. The question was of character and discipline. Georgia has beaten two very bad teams and run up the score by keeping the starters in. The crimedogs were lucky to get away with a win last night, after three UK fumbles, and would have lost if the game were longer. Contrast Richt’s lack of sportsmanship with Newton’s taking a knee when he could have easily scored another TD against LSU. Not to worry, Richt is not going anywhere. Georgia will continue to underperform when it matters.

The dogs beat an average, at best, Wildcat team to bring their record to 4-4, which is still not impressive. “IF” the dogs beat the Gators, then I think dogville can start bloviating even more. In the meantime, tech fans have nothing to do except slam dogville, which is quite humorous. Let tech fans mouth off. They are harmless and lost on solving other theories.

The QB is not a RS freshman anymore. He has started 8 games. Lay off Bobo. We did not have to pass to overcome the short field position this week. In previous games we had long fields in most every games except vs ARk in the last quarter when we made a comeback. We beat UF with the running game the last time by confusing them then hit them with the pass because they started looking for Moreno to run and threw to Mass. Defense was tired because they were on the field 3/4 of the game. Go dawgs.

Key to beating auburn: Make Cam Newton throw the ball. Stack 8 in the box the whole game. He cannot throw the ball that well. He is not accurate. The passes that he completes are within 10 yards.

“But it could come a monsoon that day and Georgia might win 3-0 on a 60-yard field goal by Blair Walsh.”

I don’t know about you but Walsh is beginning to worry me a little. The misses are not long range, they are very much in his comfort zone…. I”m just sayin,,,

It’s time to Man up against UF. Play to win instead of playing not to lose.
I fully believe this version of the Dawgs will show up and fight hard and smart.
This is Murray’s first WLOCP start and the kid has ice water in his veins. No worries.

if you puppies don’t beat my sorry gators this year you never will. In over 25 years of watching UF this is by far the worst coached team I have ever seen, Brantley trying to run the spread option is like a cow flying…the offensive line, although injured, is bad….no running backs and a O coordinator who looks like he’s coaching on Mars…….this year UGA 28 UF 13

The week off by Fla does concern me. It seems like they have a lot weeks off before they play the Dawgs. They take a bus to the game (Dawgs have to fly) and have a week off before they play. Just how much of advantage do those guys need?

Ramguy,

They get the home field advantage every damn year.
Why we don’t make a deal to play them every other year at The Georgia Dome is beyond me.
It would be a sellout everytime.

But the bottomline is that with the exception of a couple of UF losses since Richt has been here we weren’t even close to winning.

This was a good win for UGA. They created turnovers and took advantage of them. This wasn’t a cheap win. Remember Kentucky beat SC (and SC gave Auburn all they wanted as did Kentucky) last week after being down 28-10 and the Dawgs came out after halftime and went down and scored. That was a statement.

JB that’s funny…I agree with you on Brantley..he’s not that good, and he’s fragile. Look for a lot of Trey Burton..BTW UF has the ESPN #1 OB jeff Driscol coming in Jan all 6′4″ 240 pounds of option QB. Like I said get us this year. LeMay is rated much lower than Driscol, but Murray is a stud so look for LeMay to decommit…LSU perhaps.

Georgia is back? Their three wins came againsts teams with a cumulative record of 8-14 and even if they beat Florida those figures only go to 12-18. Beat Auburn and you will have proven something.

Another footbal rule of thumb: Go with what works until it stops working. The run with Ealey was working so there really was no need to throw or do anything else. The secondary still worries me. They are prone to letting receivers get behind them and to giving up the deep ball. If we do that against Auburn, Newton will eat us alive..

some of you guys need to learn how to relax and enjoy a win. No football team is perfect especially UGA this year and some of you want to yell and scream and stomp the floor every time something doesnt go exactly as you want….case in point….those of you harping on Bobo this morning. Yeah, Bobo has pissed me off a time or two and all of us worry about his play calling but give the guy some credit when he does a good job. Yesterday he called a good game. UGA was 1-4 a few weeks ago and that was one of the lowest moments as a Dawgs fans in many years…they have turned things around for the time being so how about having some pride in that and enjoy the ride? Watching football is supposed to be fun and it seems like some of you just torture yourselves with it. Your take the good with the bad, alright….Gators are next! Go Dawgs!

Bulldawg fans need to take a deep breath and remember 2005 because I have a feeling it will be a little deja vu. Back then Urban Meyer’s offense was sputtering early in the season and UGA had high hopes of kicking a little Gator tail. Unfortunately, Meyer used the bye week to overhaul his offense and UGA saw a completely new Gator offense- including a fullback.
The Gators have another bye to tweek the offense and show UGA something they haven’t seen before on tape plus Rainey is back. As always, UGA will get Florida’s A game.

Mark,
You’ve glossed over some very revealing statistics. Kentucky had 423 yds of offense and never even had to punt while UGA only had 290 yds of total offense. Take away Kentucky’s gaffe’s and they win the game. In fact you’ll rarely see such lopsided statistics with the more productive team losing. It’s hard to see how anyone could interpret this as a good win.

Party School, how old are you? you haven’t watched much football have you? We didn’t pile up stats because we didn’t have to. 4 KY turnovers and a 100 yard kickoff return did the job. Did you really say, “take away Kentucky’s gaffes and they win the game” ?? Go away please.

The pressure is on at UGA now. If the dawgs lose to FL there will be mass suicide. And it just may happen. Why is no one discussing Auburn ? Mentally, this team has already lost to Auburn and is trying to make the season seem significant by wins over FL and Tech. This season went in the dump a month ago.

Where we can read about the really relevant games such as OK vs Missou or Auburn or Wis vs Iowa or
TCU vs Air Force ? Why are we forced to read about two lousy teams from Georgia. Why has AJC now defined its market as that within 25 miles of the Grady curve. Has the internet devoured the entire
national market for an Atlanta based publication ? Do I now have to go ESPN or Facebook to learn about the better college games ?

If we stay healthy and eligible, we can beat Florida and WILL beat Auburn! Newton is a great talent but their defense is too suspect to handle the Dawgs.
