Fighting to the finish, Georgia overrides Florida – and history

A sight seldom seen in Jacksonville: Mark Richt victorious. (AJC photo by Jason Getz)

Jacksonville — At halftime Mark Richt invoked the fresh memory of the St. Louis Cardinals. “Guys that don’t quit have a chance,” he told his Georgia Bulldogs.

Much later, Richt would tell the assembled media: “We didn’t quit.”

Folks can and will argue over the worth of one victory over a Florida team that hasn’t won since September, but no one can question the weight that had fallen on the Bulldogs regarding their strange inability to win this one game. “There was some history and some demons,” Richt said, and the way this game began it was as if those demons would beat Georgia by themselves.

Florida’s first play from scrimmage netted 72 yards. Its first touchdown came on a fourth-and-19 pass 7 1/2 minutes into the game. (Who goes for it on fourth-and-19 so early in any game?) Its second touchdown came on a 99-yard kickoff return by its second-best returner. Everything that had gone wrong for Georgia in this series the past two decades was going wrong all at once, but that, in a weird way, might have been for the best.

Said cornerback Brandon Boykin: “You could say a lot of bad things happened. We had to calm down. But this team is special. After we lost to Boise, I told people, ‘Don’t worry about this team.’ We’ve bounced back.”

Said offensive coordinator Mike Bobo of his team’s 17-3 deficit: “Nobody said, ‘Hey, here we go again.’ ”

Surely a few Bulldogs thought it, but they put aside any nattering negativity to focus on the task at hand. Said Todd Grantham, the defensive coordinator: “That game was a test of our mental toughness. We kept going. We kept playing the next play.”

One play changed this game and maybe the course of Georgia’s season. The same Richt who’d ordered a field goal on fourth-and-goal against Central Florida in the Liberty Bowl last December rediscovered the nerve that had marked him as a young head coach. Ninety seconds before halftime, his team down 14 points, Richt had Aaron Murray throw into the end zone on fourth-and-five. Michael Bennett hauled it down, and from there Georgia believed.

Said Alec Ogletree, the superb linebacker: “Once the offense scored right before halftime, we fed off that.”

The Gators’ offense, overseen by the famous Charlie Weis, would manage 32 yards and one first down in the second half against Grantham’s defenders. With quarterback John Brantley unable to work under center due to an ankle injury, Florida went almost exclusively to the empty backfield, and Grantham, cogitating on the fly, trumped Weis at every turn.

Grantham: “It’s a credit to our players … From halftime on, we were playing a new game plan.”

Midway through the third quarter, Richt did it again. His team down seven points, Richt chose to have Murray throw again — to different receiver down a different sideline — on fourth-and-six, and Tarvarres King outfought Jaylen Watkins for the ball. At last, the game was tied. It would come untied due to a field goal generated by another long kickoff return, but by then Georgia had made its point: This day would not be like other days against the hated Gators.

Richt: “I just thought the best thing to do was to go for it on fourth down. I just felt like we needed a touchdown. I didn’t think threes were going to get it.”

The fourth quarter was all Bulldogs, and they celebrated in a way that far outstripped a four-point victory over a 4-4 opponent. What did this game mean? Said King: “Everything. We’re back.”

Again, that might be overstating. But when a team has failed so often in this venue, any break in the pattern is major news. “Now that it’s over,” Richt said, “I can say, ‘Yeah, it was a big deal.’ It was a big deal for me personally.”

For two years we’ve parsed Georgia results and asked, “What does this mean for Richt’s job status?” After Saturday, we can say this much for sure: Richt’s Bulldogs started 0-2 but have won six in a row; they’ve beaten Florida, which hadn’t happened since 2007, and they’ve kept themselves in position to take the SEC East if South Carolina slips. At this moment, it’s almost impossible to imagine Georgia parting ways with this coach anytime soon.

No, this isn’t the most polished bunch you’ll see. (Richt described his special team as “mostly average to scary.”) But Georgia spotted Florida 14 points and held its nerve in a way the Gators — 14 penalties for 106 yards — could not. In a game where the Bulldogs invariably invent ways to lose, they found a way to win. They might not be the smoothest-running bunch, but these ‘Dogs will hunt — and fight.

Huge relief. We can enjoy this for a day and get ready for next week. The great thing about bouncing back the way we have since the 0-2 start is that each game we play now has a huge, huge meaning. It also means we have to keep winning or all that work and everything we’ve accomplished means a lot less. That is the position all good teams want to be in come November and we’re in that position. Keep kickin’ butt Dawgs!!

Mark Richt took chances today and outcoached Muschamp and Weis. Georgia looked to have the better players and the better plan. Murray and special teams must improve for them to win out. Completing one pass in 2nd half is not going to get it. Still, a great night for Dawgs and Richt. Maybe all of the ‘hot seat’ talk will stop now for a few weeks! On a bad note, the Techies look like the 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers right now.

All Mark Richt did today was to beat a team he is supposed to beat. Beating teams you are supposed to beat just equals mediocrity. This is the worst UF team in 20 years. The team still played undisciplined on special teams. Fans that are happy with mediocrity will be happy with todays win.

Don’t drink the koolaid my fellow Georgia fans. We let a horrible, horrible Florida team score 20 points, we barely won by 4 points. This is still the headcoach who year after year does not have one of the most talented teams in the Nation ready to play a complete season. How many years have we lost to start the season, look badly under prepared, then have average play the rest of the year, get lucky to win most of the remaining games and we somehow always seem to forget the beginning of each season. Well, I haven’t forgotten, never will. I have not forgotten that Richts 3 wins out of 11 against Florida have all come when Florida has been very bad. People say look at his over all job, well I do look and I see underachieving year after year with what he has to work with. No, I say do not forget the big picture because of this one win. I am proud the Dawgs won today, but it was in no way an vendication of Richt and his inability.

I am glad for the bulldogs sixth win in a row from a very young team, but this is another typical display of poor coaching by the bulldog staff, after nearly losing the game to Vandy because of terrible special teams play including a 98 yard k.o. return, a fake punt given up, and a blocked punt nearly returned for a touchdown…Richt follows that pathetic effort against Vandy nonetheless, by an even worse effort, which is almost impossible looking at that kickoff for td, fake punt, and blocked punt ALL IN ONE GAME!!! Yet Richt tops it with the opening kickoff taken to midfield (taken back by a hold), another kickoff taken 99 yards to the house, another kickoff taken 70 yards for a field goal, two missed field goals, and three horrid punts by Butler, and you have the WORST SPECIAL TEAMS in the NATION!!! Like I said we won 24-20, and this WILL be the start of a streak against FLA , I can feel it. However, this horrid special teams play that cost us the SC game, and almost cost us the Fla and Vandy games HAS TO STOP if we hope to play up to SEC championship caliber. I am majorly concerned about Murray and Crowell as well. It should be obvious Murray is NOT THE ANSWER!!! Nowhere near the answer, he is not a big game college QB, that is a FACT!! This is his FIRST WIN against a winning college team in his whole CAREER, and he didnt even win it…the defense did, he just didnt lose it…I mean 15-34 (thats sad), I believe he missed his last 10 in a row during the fourth quarter….he’s not cutting it, time to give Mason a chance. Crowell cant take the pounding of the SEC, he is weak and is injured on every other run it seems like, he has missed at least a hundred snaps he could have taken this year because he is :”too hurt” to continue, yes i question some of his injuries and his heart not to play in some big snaps this year. Yes he is a freshman, but he is majorly a wuss!!!!

Hi Mark. I am going to try hard not to be a Gloomy Gus right now. After all the Thrashers are now losing in Canada and the Hawks are still on the sidelines. Hooray! In addition the Georgia football Dawgs finally won in Jacksonville, Florida for what seems like the first time in 100 years. I was highly concerned when the Gators had 17 points on the scoreboard before I had the opportunity to get settled in. The Dawg defense stood tall except for that extremely painful to watch fourth and forever TD. Dawgs outscored the Floridians 21-3 down the stretch to keep slim playoff hopes alive. Aaron Murray could not complete a pass to save his life at the end except for the last one. As it turned out that was the only one that mattered. Too bad the Dawgs entered the season without a punter or FG kicker. In games such as this one unsuccessful FG kicks can be fatal. Not this time. There is absolutely nothing special about the Dawg special teams. Horrible with a capital H! I wanted the Dawgs to score on that last possession for selfish reasons. Man do I loathe those arrogant Gators! Dawg offensive play calls remain not only highly suspect but totally incomprehensible! Defense adjusted well to satop Gators. Defense can do nothing about specia; team breakdowns! Nice victory. Real test comes in two weeks. GO DAWGS!

Of course you should beat the teams you are supposed to beat. The problem is that Mark Richt in the last 5 years has not beaten a team that is ranked. If you can’t ever beat a ranked team, that is mediocrity. If you are happy with mediocrity, then lets give Richt a 5 year extension and be a middle dweller in the SEC.

People who check in on the Dawgs on game day are thrilled. The people who follow this team 24/7, 365 days a year know we just beat a Florida team that was pitiful. Florida is built for the spread and they are not running it. I have no idea what is wrong with their defense, loaded with 4&5 star guys and a Former defensive guru as head coach. I’m sure the Florida folks are asking the same thing. Mark is a good OC and special teams coach away from being a lot better. Good win. Florida folks won’t acknowledge it on the books.

I could talk about Murray’s struggles with accuracy.
I could talk about our disatrous special teams (especially kickoff coverage).
I could talk about Bobo’s bad playcalling (luckily Conley and Bennett bailed him out).
But I won’t talk about those things, because we beat Florida and right now, that’s all that matters.

Don’t see how Florida beat themselves. When a team that had near 200 yards in the first half againts # 2 Alabama and comes out and can only manage 50 some odd yards and one first down againts UGA in the second half can hardley be called beating themselves. UGA offense was average at best, special teams were a level below SUCK, but anyone that watched the game saw that the UGA D was dominant.

UGA wins out, SC looses to Arkansas, UGA plays whoever wins ALA-LSU game!!!!

Some of you guys are Debbie Downers tonight! Good Lord we have lost to the freaking Gators 18 of the last 21 times! We have had good teams lose down there and bad teams lose down there. Our guys were down 14 points in the first half and didn’t quit. The Georgia D is demonstrably better this year. You guys are also being hard on a 18-19 year old true freshman that was asked to come in and be the starter from day one in the SEC! Good Lord, he is banged up! The question we need to be asking is what is going on with Boo Malcome. We all watched the game and we are not blind to the special team’s problems, but if you are a Dawg – enjoy tonight!!!

Granite that tonight wasn’t the prettiest win in UGA football games. Any team has problems that have to be addressed from week to week. There is no need to try to convince people on this board, because they are all qualified football coaches, however, when you step on the field in the SEC or any level of college the game changes. Coaches can only coach so much try to best prepare them for the upcoming games. If the team was not prepared, then you can start blaming it on the coaching staff, but you can’t place the blame on Richt if the players just aren’t having their game. That’s why you call it a team for each of them to pick the others up and make the best out of the game, which UGA did tonight!! College players, yes are having a paid way through school which makes everyone want to think they should perform like pros, however have to do a lot more than that while balancing school with football. Notice that UGA has placed emphasis on graduation rate among athletes and coaches are held to a degree of responsibility making sure of that. Throw all this into the game, you can start noticing why players lag behind some on the field. If it was just as easy as putting pads on and focusing on football then it would be different. Administration has different priorities than us as fans do. We put higher expectations on players, who are really just 18-22 year olds, that just may not be mature enough to handle everything that is expected out of them.
Tonight’s win is a win. Many of you who want to call for Richt’s dismissal, that’s your right to do, but you are hurting the UGA recruitment and future of the Dawg program. It’s not productive as us dawg fans and alumni to always bash our dawgs! If you are a true Dawg then you will remain united behind whoever is the coach, player or whomever that participates in the game. Let’s use our wins, our talent and the great players we have to motivate them for the next opponents stand behind them.
Proud to be a dawg fan and alumni. I may not agree with the plays that are called or agree with particular coaches, but I don’t trash my team. Lets go Dawg nation and quit giving Georgia Tech people reasons to keep poking us about our program.

They say a win is a win and we now have 6 in a row – but against whom!?

JB is correct. If SC blows its record this year and we back into The SECC against LSU we will be slaughtered.

The worst thing that could happen is for Richt to be here next season and I’m afraid that’s just what will happen.

By the way, GT has a team and ironically will give us a tougher time than any SEC Team this regular season in my opinion. In fact, if GT plays like they did today they’ll beat us.

Tonight’s win is a win. Many of you who want to call for Richt’s dismissal, that’s your right to do, but you are hurting the UGA recruitment and future of the Dawg program. It’s not productive as us dawg fans and alumni to always bash our dawgs! If you are a true Dawg then you will remain united behind whoever is the coach, player or whomever that participates in the game. Let’s use our wins, our talent and the great players we have to motivate them for the next opponents stand behind them.
Granite that tonight wasn’t the prettiest win in UGA football games. Any team has problems that have to be addressed from week to week. There is no need to try to convince people on this board, because they are all qualified football coaches, however, when you step on the field in the SEC or any level of college the game changes. Coaches can only coach so much try to best prepare them for the upcoming games. If the team was not prepared, then you can start blaming it on the coaching staff, but you can’t place the blame on Richt if the players just aren’t having their game. That’s why you call it a team for each of them to pick the others up and make the best out of the game, which UGA did tonight!! College players, yes are having a paid way through school which makes everyone want to think they should perform like pros, however have to do a lot more than that while balancing school with football. Notice that UGA has placed emphasis on graduation rate among athletes and coaches are held to a degree of responsibility making sure of that. Throw all this into the game, you can start noticing why players lag behind some on the field. If it was just as easy as putting pads on and focusing on football then it would be different. Administration has different priorities than us as fans do. We put higher expectations on players, who are really just 18-22 year olds, that just may not be mature enough to handle everything that is expected out of them.

Proud to be a dawg fan and alumni. I may not agree with the plays that are called or agree with particular coaches, but I don’t trash my team. Lets go Dawg nation and quit giving Georgia Tech people reasons to keep poking us about our program.

He was missing wide open receivers all day. It almost seem to me that he was throwing the game. He had 2 weeks to prepare for this game and it looked like he just got the play book this morning. Defense better play their rear-ends off, because the offense and special teams has no intention of doing their part.

And finally this. Will you pathetic loser gayturd fans please STFU up. Take your pathetic whinny, cry baby, sore loser attitude and just shut up. Like a previous poster said.

And still came within a yard of beating you by 11. This game was not nearly as competitive as it looked. UF’s offense was completely outclassed in the second half.

How many future NFL players do you think Fla has? I’d say about as many as UGA, yet you idiots act like we should win any game by 20 or we stink. It’s the SEC. Everybody has a ton of talent.

Don’t give me this weak a** crap about some WAC or Mountain West coach or an assistant coach. The SEC meatgrinder will make boys of your so called men. Look at Florida and see how Muschamp is working out. He has no excuse… he has all the talent in the world and has finished ahead og UGA in recruiting pretty much every year. He was probably one of your answers before Floriduh hired him. You are delusional and an embarassment to the UGA Nation.

Well, we won. The defense looked as good in the second half as any Dawg D I can remember. Huge kudos to Coach G and the defenders. The receivers Bennet and Conley have bright futures in Athens.
Samuel ran hard in the fourth quarter, and I agree with the TV guys that we should’ve been pounding the Gator D line all night. Hope RS IV is not hurt too much. Murray is fine, he’s having a bit of a sophomore slump. Not at all unusual. Crowell is a really good, not great, back who has serious durability issues. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt concerning his grit. We need to recruit another good back, or get Malcolm healthy.
Bobo’s playcalling, other than the fourth down calls, was it’s usual puzzling mess. The kickoff coverage is abysmal, and has been for most of the last five years. They must be redshirting Bogotay.

2009 Georgia 8–5 4–4 T–2nd (East) W Independence
2010 Georgia 6–7 3–5 T–3rd (East) L Liberty

You cant be perfect forever your team will have to go through some hard time sooner or later. So to say that Richt is on a down slope is complete b.s. The guy just had a top 5 recruiting class and revamped the strength and conditioning program. What else do you want from him? All anyone cares about is what have you done for me lately? The guy is a very good coach.

At 102-36 after 138 games, Mark Richt has more wins, fewer losses, and a better winning percentage (.739) than any of his predecessors at the same point in their respective careers.

No, the real problem with UGA are the fans, who for some reason think that they are entitled to a team that wins the SEC every year. Those people seem forget how long it was before Richt that we won an SEC title. I like to laugh at them when they complain and say Richt should be fired; fortunately, the people who actually can make that decision are both more intelligent and more rational.

YOu Gator fans a trolls on here can say whatever you want about this season for UGA. The fact is that the Dawgs D can keep us close in most any game and we have enough talent on the offensive side of the ball to make the plays we have to make to win. At the end of the day UGA has won 6 in a row and got a huge monkey off our back for the rest of the season. A win over a team that has dominated you is a major confidence builder and I hope that it will inspire our athletes to step it up. Special Teams has to be dealt with and Bobo still needs to be removed as the OC but we will be fine. Last 2 weeks all I’ve heard is “You guys can’t beat Florida, you haven’t beat anyone else, and the TRUE test will be in Jacksonville.” The truth is that haters like you will never give UGA any props because you can’t do anything but drink your own crappy team’s Koolaid and spew bile from your piehole about pretty much everything else in your life. You probably have been running your traps all week to people you know who like the Dawgs, and thinking you were God’s gift to football knowledge. But the problem is that no matter how sorry you think we are, we shut your sorry asses up tonight didn’t we? Mark Richt won a big game for himself and his program and you can’t stand it because you don’t like him. Well SHOVE IT… You’ll run your blow hole again before Auburn and we’ll beat them too, probably in a not so pretty fashion again, and you’ll say that we still haven’t beat anyone. Who the hell cares what you think? You probably live in your Grandmother’s basement and play Warcraft all day, while dual boxing and commentating on UGA blogs. It’s fine because when we win the East and go to the SECCG, your sorry ass team will be at home with their thumb up their butt. The ACC sucks and always has, just because you had a Clemson team that didn’t totally wet the bed for the first 7 games like it normally does, you thought you had a Clydesdale. Well they lost to a mediocre Tech team that can run all over D2 teams but can’t throw a pass against a decent defense. UGA will bury you on Thanksgiving weekend like we ALWAYS do. So go try to sell your all knowing idiocy somewhere else, we just won our 6th in a row so suck it!

We’re awful, we’ve been awful, it’s all being masked by how easy the East is. It’s non existent.

Good win. Playcalling, other than on fourth down, was still puzzling. Samuel ran hard, and came up big in the fourth. Hope he’s not too hurt. Crowell has no toughness. We need another blue chip back.
Murray is having the usual sophomore slump. He’ll be fine. The D? Best performance I’ve seen in a long, long time by the Dog D. Second half was Erk-like.
Special teams, or specifically the kickoff coverage, is abysmal. Horrid. Embarrassing. Walsh has a bad case of the yips, and Bogotay must be heading for a redshirt, which I’m all for. We’ll need him next year. Ahhhhh. The start of a streak is sweet.

Meanwhile, over the SEC West they’ve got 4 in recent years and UF had 2 but I think it’s safe to say as horrible as they played that two decades of UF dominance in the SEC/SEC East has died. They are horrendous. 0-4? Lost to Alabama bad, lost to LSU worse, lost to Auburn who decided to swap QBs at the half and now we barely beat them.

however, we absolutely HAVE to get this kick coverage figured out and IMO, we also have to figure out why we get the ball TO the redzone, but have such a hard time getting it IN from there. Looks to me like playcalling. We’ve got plenty of tools, I just think we don’t use ‘em well sometimes.

BTW Athensdawg, we didn’t have a top 5 recruiting class this year. We haven’t had one of those according to ESPN since 2008 and when we did- we were #5.

And what have we done with that? 6-7 last year with a UCF loss? 0-2 to start the easiest schedule in the SEC?

To say everything is fine is what everyone outside of Athens should want to hear.

What we got today was a gift that only means something to a UGA fan but newsflash, UF is now 2-4 in the SEC and we didn’t even earn our W.

Ole dawg, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that Richt is more successful than Dooley. He needs 4 more SEC championships and a national title before he can pull even with Dooley. And Dooley didn’t get the two automatic wins that today’s coaches get, with the I-AA and directional schools. Take the La.-La.’s, Georgia Southern’s, and Idaho State’s off of Richt’s record and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have a better winning percentage than Dooley.

But we beat Florida today, and for now, that’s good enough for me. I agree we should get off Richt’s back for the time being.

Those of you whining about a BCS NC really have no idea how tough it is to play and win that.

02 – 13-1 probably would have won if the season falls correctly
05 – If DJ doesn’t get hurt we beat UF and probably Auburn as well
07 – Bad loss to USC really hurt us but that team was amazing.

It’s not like UGA has been too far from a BCS NC.

This could easily be billed as “The Inept Bowl”. I can’t recall the last time I saw a more ugly game. Georgia’s Special Teams are anything but Special. Even Butler figured out a way to stink up the field. For a program worth $483,000,000 you’d think we could afford a Special Teams coach. There’s no excuse for such horrendous play.

In the Inept Bowl UGA found a way to stink up the field a little less than Florida, although Aaron Murray tried real hard to keep pace with the Gator’s swankiness. The good news for Georgia fans is taking solace in the fact that Florida flat out sucks, I mean really sucks! I don’t think Galen Hall ever coached a Florida team this bad.

Hats off to Jarvis Jones. He’s been a beast all year and was THE MAN today for Georgia. Without Jones we lose this game, it’s that simple. Grantham made some great adjustments at halftime and stuffed Florida for net 62 yards in the second half. Well Done!

Time to celebrate this much needed victory and get back to the drawing board!

For all us UGA fans, we should definitely savor this for the rest of the night…BUT, come tomorrow we will face the reality that we still have accomplished nothing this year. As it stands right now, no team we have beaten has a winning record. Murray has regressed this year, he holds the call too long, does not have command of the offense as much as one would hope, and just makes bad plays at times when we can ill afford them…Our offensive line, which is the biggest in pro and college football, continues to let too many people come through on pass rush and opens very few holes for the running game AND we lost our best lineman for the rest of the year to a broken leg… Bobo still shows no rythm calling plays almost 4 years of being an offensive coordinator. Some drives are brilliant, but too many are just plain head scratching…Our special teams coaching by committee is proving to be a major flaw for a team that once was known for great special teams; our once clutch kickers have regressed even more than our QB, which seems impossible…Our defense is showing some progress and that is encouraging, but I still see a lot of missed assignments that get covered up when the other teams makes their own mistakes and we still have problems covering the back out of the backfield… Look I am happy to have won 6 in a row and have one of those be a victory of Florida, but I still think Auburn and Tech will get us this year and we will be 8-4… far better than last year, but not good enough!!!

Even if we go 9-3 or 10-2, we still need major changes with this program…

To all the posterior kissers of Saint Mark Wretch. Love mediocrity? I certainly do not! I attended the University of Georgia. I have lived through the highs and lows of Dawg football for over half a century. It is from that seasoning that I see something very wrong with the Dawgs over the last several seasons. The last complete Dawg effort was the blowout of Hawaii. That was a long time ago. If this past performance was graded it would be A for defense, C for offense, C for coaching and F- for special teams. Remember the coaches had two weeks to prepare for a vastly inferior Gator squad. For the jerk who loves stats plus the winning streak I offer this:

Ranked Boise State. Embarrassing loss.

Overrated South Carolina. Choke at home.

Coastal Carolina Community College. Duh.

Unranked Mississippi. Expected win.

Unranked Mississippi St. Expected win.

Unranked Tennessee. Expected win.

Unranked Vanderbilt. Expected win.

Unranked Florida. Expected win

The Dawgs have done well on the practice tests but failed the two exams miserably. So spare me the past records. Stats are for losers. The losing mindset in my beloved UGA football program will take decades to reverse after Saint Wretch is long done. True Dawg fans see this clearly! :(

A running QB in the 4th might have won that game. What a really bright future you poor gators are looking at. Georgia moving up ; gators moving down.

Can’t really be his fault that those teams weren’t ranked. Let me let you in on a little secret; talk with other UGA coaches in other sports and you will find out what Mr. McGarity already knows. Look at the “trend” of Richt coaching under D. Evans and his record prior to D. Evans. That mess is just starting to get cleaned up. Richt aint going anywhere.

I think we can all agree that the dawgs won despite inept, not so special teams and erractic QB play but to win regardless means that the rest of the team more than made up for these inadequacies.

They still belive CMR is the man for the job and they unanimously say “give Mcgarity time to clean this mess up.” And as my Methodist friends say, “Know your sh**.”

We won despite poor special teams play and not having our best WR, Mitchell, out there. We won despite Aaron Murray missing a couple of wide open receivers for TD’s. The UGA defense is really stout. What everyone forgets is that some our our best players are freshman!

Bobo’s gameplan was poor, outpass Florida with the biggest O-Line in football going up against an undersized UF D-Line???? Threw it up 37 times, missed on over half. Averaged 5.5 yards per pass, which is terrible. Run game was cooking, Samuel and Crowell ran well. Should have run the ball more in the first half, that was plain dumb and almost let the game get away, UF built a 17-3 lead.

Mark Richt, when not settling for field goals, beat Florida. Chris Rainey, with his girlfriend still alive to witness it, gave the game to Georgia to insure itself of being the worst Florida team in 24 years. Chris Conley really showed us all he is a great receiver. Marlon Brown stepped up. Richard Samuel aimed his body forward. Florida has no offense. None. I never saw a team have so many costly penalties as Florida handed to us to today. That is a miserable Florida team. Aaron Murray won a game over an unranked opponent, threw an interception, was way off target all night long again, and showed some heart out there like he had shown us last season and gutted it out against a good Florida defense. Anytime you beat Florida, it is important. South Carolina won; in fact all the teams we beat all lost. On a day many of those ranked way ahead of us in the polls, lost, we won in JAX. We used to always win in JAX. We do seem headed to my 11-3; I hope so. We cut down on penalties, although we flirt with celebration; and don’t need to take off the scoreboard one of our touchdowns. Good gracious, do we need special teams coaching staff. Against a good team, those would have had us losing handily tonight. We beat a team who has Won 3 Consensus National Championships in the last 14 years, and who has been significantly better than us in our own Division of our own conference the entire Mark Richt era. They are a down team, an unranked, worst Florida team in 24 years. We won. It was known that we would win. This is not a testament to Mark Richt that the game was played in the fashion it was played, by us. Mark Richt needed to win this game to get his record against Florida to the same record he enjoys in his 11 years, against teams who finished in the Top 10. Mark Richt’s win total is not worth your time writing about. We play 14-game seasons nowadays when 10-win seasons in the past, meant that you had lost at most, 1 game. We’ve lost 2 and have at least 1 more loss coming, I hope. I say I hope because South Carolina has a very easy schedule this season too, and we handed that football game to South Carolina on a Silver Platter.

Tavares King and Michael Bennett did well. Aron White drops passes, and always has. Shawn Williams fell on the fumble, and did not look like a dumba** to me, again. If the officials had had their way, Shawn Williams does not get a fumble recovery. In the old days, not having that Chris Rainey fumble, costs us the game – quite obviously. Bacarri Rambo got torched on the TD, and for good measure picked Alec Ogletree; but, he too came up with a fumble recovery and a pass break-up. And, it was Alec Ogletree who caused the fumble. Jarvis Jones had 1 of those 2, and 4 sacks by himself. We need to get some of these kinds on guys on the field on kick-off coverage, like our better opponents do. Have a ST coach, and that would be his 1st action. Brandon Boykin had a good game. Might as well be a hundred years, and in 2005 we ended up not # 1 in The SEC in the polls but # 3 of just SEC teams. 2002 only a 4-loss Auburn ended up in the Coaches’ Poll Top 25 with us. But, we LOST to Florida BOTH of those seasons.

I think we can all agree that the dawgs won despite inept, not so special teams and erratic QB play but to win regardless means that the rest of the team more than made up for these inadequacies.

We have a new “4th and Dumb.” Muschamp completely choked going for it on 4th and long from near midfield with 5:36 still left to play and a chance to pin us deep. You punt the ball, pin the other team deep, and trust your defense to get the ball back.

When we stopped them on 4th and long, which was pretty predictable, and flipped the field position, you just knew we were going to win. What was he thinking?

“We could have easily scored another touchdown at the end,but Coach Richt has class..”

Not to run another play has nothing to do with class. I guess you didn’t see the Vandy-Ark game today. Vandy fumbled on the 3 yard line and the Hogs took it 97 yards to the house which basically cost the Commodores the game. Although a low probability, the Dawgs could have run a play but also could have fumbled. Class in that situation would be taking a knee if you were up by 9 or more.

I measure GA’s wins by how good I feel after the game. Glad we won but I still do not feel good about GA’s Offense and especially special teams. Murray sputtered and bobo’s playcalling stalled. Except for the two TD passes he had a poor passing day. Had one int but it was tipped. I think ga has the worst special teams in the country. After the season CMR better hire a ST coach. Walsh will graduate but need a kicking coach as well. Walsh once had a bright pro future. Doubt he’ll ever recover from his poor senior season. Where the hell is Boo Malcolme??? The D played great except for the lapse in pass coverage by Rambo on FL’s first TD. Yeah, when I look at the way GA played they’re still not ready for prime time.

First of all to ‘Barack Bush’ – that was totally off-topic and silly, but it gave me a really big LOL.

Second, I am really bothered by the Special Teams and Murray’s execution, but I will certainly take this one. I’ve been really hot and cold with CMR for the past 3 seasons – in the end, I wanted him to stay after last season, but haven’t had much confidence this year. I’m still unsure about the quality of the coaching our guys are getting. Felt like we stepped onto the field unprepared for the start, but we did warm up. I’m happy. This wasn’t a superstar, high-quality, dominating win, but I’ve always just been of the opinion that it doesn’t have to be pretty – just a W at the end of the day.

The best things I saw were that 1)This team showed some heart and they did stick to it – I felt like they were really into this one; and 2)Not nearly as much crap going on in the way of unsportsmanlike conduct –

He might have saved his job today. I’m expecting wins against KY, NMSt, and Auburn; but I think we’re gonna have trouble w/ Tech. If he does what I just described, I expect to see him back next year… and if that happens, I think that it’ll then be time to take a look for a new O coordinator. Bobo is simply not cutting it.

Just my two cents…

you know, for years, fla people talked about us keeping Richt, signing him to a 5 year contract and all that.. . . . after numerous delay of game penalties, questionable decisions, and quite a few false starts, it’s nice to see the other side answering the coaching questions.

I’m sure about a year ago though, there would have been quite a few people calling for Muschamp to be HC at UGA. Very happy that did not happen.

What can I say not to ruin this rare moment ? What can I say not to inflame the drunken delusional kool-aid base who are immensely overjoyed with a very awkward, clumsy win over a hated rival who is obviously down. This was a very sloppy win by Georgia over the worst UF squad in 20 years. I have to say the Dawgs were awful and still are worse than awful in certain areas on the team.

The quarterback position still is not SEC calibre and Richt or Bobo don’t have the ability to open up a competition unless the backups are more inadequate. There is not much coaching going on at the quarterback position or the hapless special teams. The kicker, punter, and return teams are pathetic and probably among the nations worst in Division I. Kudos to Grantham’s defensive unit, who appears to be the only solid performers on this mediocre team Richt has woefully assembled. Todd Grantham here’s a word of advice, at seasons end you need to shop yourself around and find a DC position with another team. Texas A&M, who lost another game due to a send half defensive collaspe will love to talk to you. As would Clemson’s Dabo Swiney, whose high octane offense could only go so far before losing with DC Kevin Steele’s hocus pocus defense. At either of those programs Grantham could cuss as much as he had to to correct those ailing defenses. Grantham should be tired of being muzzzled by the likes of the “holy one”, Richt who curses secretly in the closet when he thinks the mikes are off. One thing for sure if Richt is retained at UGA, Grantham’s most likely a goner. Now Grantham knows why he was the fifth choice for DC, because everybody else Richt called hungup on him. LOL !

Somebody said after the win over another mediocre opponent more mediocre than UGA, that “the Dawgs are back” ! Just stop it, stop it, stop it, right now ! To quote Mark Richt, whoever on the team said such foolishness, must be a “dumbass” !! Go Dawgs ! It is what it was, a shallow win over a shallow UF team so celebrate if you drink kool-aid. But if you are not delusional you hope that South Carolina wins out or UGA loses to Auburn so the Dawgs don’t get annihlated, embarrased, and massacred in the Dome. Remember with this delusional coaching staff, UGA loses when they win and win when they lose. Peace y’all.

We won. All the while I was wishing in my head we would lose — to get a new coach — but I was jumping up and down and rooting for my team because I’m a Dawg. I lived in Athens from 5th grade and graduated in the early 80’s. Long gone now, but lucky enough to have witnessed the greatest run UGA ever had. I’m sure I’m not the first person to feel that way. It’s really kind of strange. Even my 11 year old noticed it. I was happy to see a relieved Mark Richt give a post game interview — he’s still a very good guy — and I found myself pulling for him again. If the man can just make a few very needed changes, he can make himself , his players, and all the fans happy. I guess we’ll see. But it feels better to me having gotten of the schnied and beat the Gators, vs. calling for a good man’s job. I hope it all works out.

MEMO #1 TO BOBO: WHEN YOU ARE CLINGING TO A FOUR POINT LEAD AND TRYING TO KILL CLOCK, YOU DON’T CALL A OUTSIDE PITCH TO SAMUELS !!! YOU SHOULD KNOW HE DOESN’T HAVE THE KIND OF SPEED TO GET TO THE CORNER AND IF HE DID GET TO THE CORNER HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP HIS MOMENTUM AND WILL END UP OUT OF BOUNDS WHICH WILL STOP THE CLOCK !!!

MEMO # 2 TO BOBO: WHILE TRAILING BY 3, WITH SAMUEL POUNDING THE HELL OUT OF THE GATOR D, WHY CALL THE FB SCREEN TO FIGGINS WHEN YOU HAVEN’T PASSED TO HIM ALL SEASON. LUCKILY HE DROPPED THE PASS AND DEFLECTED IT OUT OF BOUNDS. WHY TAKE A DUMB RISK LIKE THAT WHEN ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS KEEP GIVING THE ROCK TO SAMUELS AND LET HIM SMASH HIS WAY TO THE TD. FINALLY, A PLAY LATER YOU CALL THE RIGHT PLAY. BUT YOU TOOK A NEEDLESS RISK BEFORE YOU CALLED THE CORRECT PLAY. ON A DAY WHEN YOU PLACEKICKER & PUNTER DIDN’T SHOW UP, ON A DAY WHEN YOUR SPECIAL TEAMS ARE NON-EXISTENT, IT COMES DOWN TO COACHING. ONE BAD PLAY CALL COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WINNING AND LOSING.

BECAUSE UGA’S DEFENSE STOOD THEIR GROUND AGAINST A PUNCHLESS UF OFFENSE, THE DAWGS WON IN SPITE OF THEIR DEFICIENCIES. YOU CAN’T BEAT A BOISE, A SOUTH CAROLINA, A BAMA, A LSU, OR ANY OTHER TOP 25 PROGRAM WITH DISJOINTED PERFORMANCES AT QB, SPECIAL TEAMS AND OFFENSIVE PLAY CALLING. THE SEC OPPONENTS UGA HAS WON AGAINST ARE A COMBINED 3-19 IN THE CONFERENCE. IF UGA HAD REALLY IMPROVED WE WOULD HAVE WITNESSED A MUCH MORE DOMINATE WIN OVER MALIGNED FLORIDA.

CAN ANYONE OF YOU KOOL-AID FILLED TEAPOT NUTS OUT THERE TELL ME WHY RICHT CAN ONLY WIN AGAINST OPPONENTS MORE MEDIOCRE THAN HIS OWN MEDIOCRE COACHED, BUT TALENTED TEAM. THIS TEAM BARELY CAN WIN AGAINST BOTTOM-FEEDERS AND BAMA AND LSU BOTH CRUSH THE SAME TEAMS THE NEXT WEEK. YES UGA WON TODAY BUT THEY DID JUST ENOUGH BARELY TO GET BY AGAINST ANOTHER PITIFUL SEC EAST TEAM. THAT WAS NOT THE FLORIDA THAT ALL UGA FANS LOVE TO HATE. SO I DON’T SEE WHAT ALL THE HOOPLA IS ABOUT. UGA WAS SUPPOSED TO DOMINATE HAS-BEEN UF AND IT DIDN’T HAPPEN, SO I GUESS WE’LL HAVE TO SETTLE FOR ANOTHER SLOPPY WIN, RIGHT ?! NOT !!!

THE ONLY WAY UGA WINS ANOTHER NATIONAL TITLE THE WHOLE NATION WILL BE DOWN AND EVERYBODY IN THE BCS TOP 10 WILL HAVE 3 TO 4 LOSSES AND THE DAWGS WIN IT ALL WITH JUST 2 LOSSES !! LOL !! WE ARE STILL PATHETIC AND MEDIOCRE DESPITE A MEAGER WIN OVER 4-4 UF !!

Not very pretty, but a win non the less. Fla will get better, you can count on that. But I also think UGA will get better (maybe a lot better) and a lot sooner. As I said before, like all new coaching staffs, Fla’s wants to get “their own” type of players in house. We already have ours in house. This is a young bunch. Providing they are “coached up”, they can be special. Jarvis Jones is a beast. But don’t look for him to be around more than one more year (probably NFL bound). If Samuel is lost, then there cause for concern at RB. C. Thomas is certainly not the answer, and Malcom, well my feeling is that is a wasted scholarship at this point. Maybe the walk on Harton will step up. Loss of D.Lee certainly will hurt. I’ve said this many times before, “there is no such thing as too much depth” in the SEC. Reference the above (Dallas Lee, Richard Samuel, etc). Conley appears to have stepped up in Mitchell’s absence. And how about giving Bogatay a chance? He certainly couldn’t be any worse than Walsh is right now. Then again, maybe he could. I keep telling myself, that Murray is afflicted with the dreaded “sophmore jinx”. But lord knows he scares me. While I’m not entirely pleased with CMR, he does offer a “degree” of stability, such that it is. Recruit’s like that. They buy into the man, as well as the program. Remember, a new coach will want his own players in house (see Mush at Fla). We would then be plunged into the abyss once again for a year or more.

All in all, I’ll take the win. I’ll also hope that we can win out and SC stumbles. Even though we may get our a$$es handed to us at the dome, this would not be an all together bad thing, as it would give this young bunch a sense of wanting to get back there again for some redemption. And who knows, we might luck up and win. After all, even the blind squirrel finds the occasional nut…..

But being realistic, that was a deeply beat up and transitional FL team we saw yesterday and we barely escaped them. No, the Dawgs didn’t do their usual meltdown and should get credit for that. But it wasn’t like we owned Florida and we can’t count on them being that injured every year. Some of Richt’s comments make you wonder what he had riding on that game. Probably a lot. Looks like we keep him another year, and that makes me wonder if we really won that game or not. Winning the East is not the goal, winning the SEC is and winning the East is just how you get to Conference Championship. IF the Dawgs do get there, and play like they did today against either LSU or AL, it’s going to be a very very very ugly and painful day.

All the fottball experts on this blog! Maybe CMR should have his smart phone on his side during the game and call plays via the blog!!!! Let’s enjoy the win get better and go win the next one. Murray was not 100% perfect but he did not throw into coverage and lose the game! I also think it is a hidden blessing that Walsh is having a bad year it has brought CMR back to giving his team a edge by being agressive
All the CMR haters will always find something to gripe about but CMR isn’t going anywhere he will win the next four.
GO DAWGS!

If I didn’t know better I would have thought we were back in the Ron Zook era…we’re not bad we are terrible. No WR’s, no running game,13 penalties, and that is just the obvious. I was surprised we were even close. Georgia tried several times to give us the game but we are so bad we could not take advantage of it. Dawgs did what they had to do….win, something we don’t know anything about right now.

-Blair Walsh has turned into the Blair Witch project. Are him and Butler smoking crack with the kickoff team? All of a sudden we can’t kick and we can’t punt!!!
-we need a qualified, full time special teams coach and we need to have our first team defensive players on the kickoff and punt teams. The walk ons are killing us.

HAHAHAHA! All of the naysayers are out again. We beat a Florida team that only a year ago had the “GREATEST RECRUITING CLASS IN THE HISTORY OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL” That team had crap loads of talent – a Super Bowl quality offensive coordinator and a commonly called defensive genius for a coach. They lost 2 of those three games to the #1 and #2 teams in the country………..and they had their best QB back and even though he was gimpy he was throwing well. We beat a good team and WE’RE NOT APOLOGIZING FOR THAT! Do we have issues? Yes……..our special teams need a ton of work, our kickers are in a slump and Murray needs to be CONSISTENT. Our defensive team is coming together. As for Tech – THEY BEAT ANOTHER OVERRANKED ACC TEAM JUST LIKE THEY WERE A FEW WEEKS AGO! Clemson? HAHAHAHAHA! They have been giving up boatloads of points on defense to everybody – beating them is not an upset – it’s just the ACC bottom dwellers feeding on each other. But I say, good for them. I’m not going to rain on their parade – they got a good win. GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We beat the lizards and life is good!!!!!!!

Buzz, the Clemson tigers deserved to be nbr 5 just like you deserved to be in the top 15 earlier this year. When you do face the DAWGS, then you will find your place as the lower tier of Universities in the state of Georgia once again. Of course then your usual excuse will be that your academics are so high, you can’t get the athletes that UGA does. How many engineer students does Tech. have exactly that are playing football for Tech? It is pathetic that you would come on a UGA blog and start bragging like your team has really returned. Do the names Miami and U of Virginia mean anything to you? For crying out loud, you play in the ACC. Save you chants and comments about UGA when your team has really done something. Your team will get it’s early Christmas present handed to them the week after thanksgiving as usual. Until then, cheer for your victories in the ACC, and hope your conference looks better than the Big East this year. You really make your fan base look pathetic. We lost to the legitimate nbr 5 team in the country in Boise, and at the time, nbr 11 S.C. Either of those teams would hand you your lunch bucket and you come onto a UGA blog and brag about beating another ACC team, like it was some great accomplishment. Brag when you have something legitimate to brag about.

The same Mark Bradley who downplayed the Falcons beating the Panthers by 2 touchdowns is thrilled by the Dawgs winning that embarrassing display of football in Jacksonville yesterday? Florida is a lousy team that has no semblance of a running game, can’t stop the run, a gimpy QB who couldn’t figure out the 25 second play clock, and to top it off they committed 14 penalties. At one point Brantley was something like 2 for his last 14 passes while Murray was working on a streak of 9 incompletions in a row. The passing games looked like a bad Big 10 game. Georgia special teams were horrible even relative to their normally low standards, couldn’t cover kicks and Butler caught whatever disease Walsh has. Crowell took himself out of the game yet again for a quarter and a half with a boo boo.

Hopefully Arkansas can beat South Carolina and Georgia can beat Kentucky and Auburn because I want to see this Georgia team play Alabama or LSU. What would the over-under be on when Crowell would take himself out of the game against either of those defenses?

Maybe now they know the importance of getting a week off before facing Florida. Hopefully the Spurrier Curse is broken. Jarvis Jones we’re glad you decided to come back to Georgia. Inspired running by Richard Samuel.
Doesnt our Defense start to resemble the old Erk Russell Junk Yard Dogs of yester year? FINALLY! Finally starting to look like a UNIT. An “F” goes to our beloved Special Teams, Richt has got to get a Special Teams Coach.
Offensive Line played better but Aaron Murray unfortunately played terrible. Our defense kept us in the game while the offense and special teams were trying to give it away. I dont think there will be a bigger test on the run defense when we play Ga. Tech in a few weeks.
Better get in shape and get some miami tapes on how they stopped Ga. Tech my friends. They blew out Clemson and Clemson has a good defense no doubt. Aaron Murray is still playing like a highschool QB and needs to start looking for his #2 and 3 recievers.
In alot of areas we showed strength but it also exposed our weak ones as well. You cant give away 10 pts. and expect to be in a game. Congrads on the win but you still have 2 more to play and atleast those games dont have a mental block on them like florida did.

Tampa Gator

October 30th, 2011
8:08 am

B’dawg…..

If you haven’t noticed, Matt Jones (the number one RB in Florida and the back that Bama really wanted) and Mike Davis (the talented RB from Atlatna) and both on their way to Gainesville.

And…..Jeff Driskell and Jacoby Brissett are going to be outstanding QBs for Florida. They are just freshmen, and you don’t win in the SEC with true freshmen QBs. I think both will be better than Aaron Murray……who…..frankly…..is very overrated and very inconsistent.

Now….to the game.

Gongrats, Dawg fans, on the victory over Florida. As a reward, you get to keep Richt as your coach. I am sure that make many of you very happy little pups.

1. Think Georgia would have won that game yesterday if Brantley had been able to play on two legs? I seriously doubt it. He was playing on no legs in the second half….and I am not sure why he was playing, to be honest. He was horrible in the second half…..and obviously in a lot of pain. I think the Gators would have beeb better off playing Driskell or Brissett in the second half…..QBs who could actually turn and hand off the football to someone.

2. Georgia got the calls yesterday because of Muschamp’s consistent battering of the refs all year.,,,including yesterday. The non-call on pass interference against Jordan Reed that everyone in the stadium saw was a result of that, I believe, as well as the two, late pass interference calls that went against Florida. That pass interference call on Jaylan Watkins running down the sideline was a total joke. No way that call should have that call been made, and it lead to Georgia’s go ahead TD. And I don’t think the refs make that call on Roberson, either, if Mushcamp had not been so negative towards the refs all year. But Muschamp made his bed, and his team paid the price for it yesterday.

3. Florida was badly wounded yesterday……but they are horribly undisciplined……and not very well coached by Muschamp. After watching him all year, I am not sold on him as the head coach. He will get his time to prove me wrong……but he needs to make a lot of changes if he is going to be a great coach at Florida. He simply seems lost on the sidelines at this point. But he is a rookie coach, and hopefully he will learn and become better at his job.

4. Florida is not a very good team this year. And Georgia isn’t much better. That is a fact. A really good team beats Florida by 30 or more yesterday. How do you think LSU and Bama would have played against a one-legged Florida QB yesterday? If you make it to Atlanta, you will be 30 point underdawgs. So will South Carolina. The SEC East is in total shambles this year.

5. I do think Muschamp will learn from his mistakes this year, will have an outstanding recruiting class this year, and Florida will come back strong next year……although they are two years away from being SEC contenders again.

Anyway……enjoy your year…..Dawg fans. You have earned it. But…..beating this year’s wounded and young Gator team by 4 points (I predicted Georgia would win by 3 points) is nothing to brag much about…..as it would have been if Florida had won the game. Those were two “not ready for prime time” teams we watched yesterday.

Bottom line:

1)Our D again played really good in 2nd half.

2)Bobo was pretty bad.

3)Murray was pretty bad.

4)Special teams – bad yet again.

5)Walsh and Butler both played like Braves in September(choked).

6)We won.

We have lost so many games in the past 20 years vs UF, and so many in the past 2+ years period, that it is refreshing to win some games, when we didn’t play our best.

One other thing. Didn’t UF celebrate their wins over our 8-5 and 6-7 Dawgs the past two seasons? Damn right they did.

So dont say anything about me celebrating this win over 4-4 UF.

We won.

B’dawg…..

None of the 5 were excuses why Florida lost yesterday……Florida lost because Georgia outscored them. That is how football is played.

I was just saying that Muschamp made his own bed with the refs this year….and it showed in the game yesterday on at least 3 bad calls (on Reed and againstt Watkins)…..and on one very close call on Roberson. Georgia outplayed Florida yesterday in the second half and made the plays when they needed to…..including two great catches in the end zone on 4th down plays that won you the game……Florida did not have those playmakers at WR or RB yesterday (but did have fumbles by Rainey and Hammond that set up your winning TD opportuities on 4th down).

So…..no excuses. Just observations.

RedandBlackDawg

8:36 am

Tampa Gator,

The second half stats for the Gators were 32 total yards and 1 first down. I believe they finished minus yards in rushing with two of the fastest people running for them in the NCAA. Brantley had a half decent first half of passing until you consider that most of his yardage was yards after the catch, by you two speedy backs. Florida’s offensive line couldn’t protect your QB and he took six sacks. He was never a threat to run the ball, so they would have been sacks no matter what. UGA’s special teams, is in need of real repair right now, and even after their gaffs, UGA still won the game. The fumbles you say that gave UGA easy touchdown passes were caused by the superior defensive team that UGA had.
All of the above was not caused by the refs. There are a few bad calls in every game. Players and coaches lose games, not refs. Besides, Mushcamp waited till the midlle of the third quarter before he once again blew up. Florida hasn’t had a lot of offense all year except for your two speedy back, so that is no excuse.
Face it, the better team won yesterday, just like it goes in almost all games pitting teams against each other.

Tampa Gator

October 30th, 2011
8:36 am

Excuses…..

Can you people read? You win games by scoring more points than the other team…..QBs hurt or not. Georgia won. They deserved to win. They had the better team yesterday….as Florida has for 18 out of the last 22 years…..and has Georgia in the entire series (exluding one game that should not count).

DP

Tampa Gator, you can talk all you want about incoming recruits at RB (wasn’t Mack Brown supposed to be a big time back?) and how freshmen QBs who are horrible this year are going to develop, but until Florida gets back the toughness on both lines of scrimmage they somehow lost in the last 2 years they’re going to take a lot of beatings. What happened to that 2010 recruiting class with a dozen or so ESPN top 150’s that some were proclaiming the best in college football history? The highly recruited defensive linemen who were comparing themselves LeBron, D-Wade and Bosh before they played a snap in the SEC are getting the ball run down their throats as sophomores.

Tampa, Gator… I think the refs are more mature than that.

RedandBlackDawg…..

Since you made some points…….

1. Demps was about at 60 perenct speed yesterday and could not cut on his damaged ankle.
2. Rainey badly injured his ankle in the first half and played at about 50% in the second half.
3. Rainey held the ball out like a loaf of bread on his fumble and just dropped the ball….hardly hit.
4. Jarvis Jones made a good play on Hammond, but he again did not protect the ball when he was being tackled (I have watched both plays over and over again this morning).
5. Chaz Green, Florida’s starting right tackle, did not play yesterday, causing Matt Patchan to move to the right side where Georgia was able to take advantage of his injured right thumb.
6. Xavier Nixon took Green’s spot and played left tackle and he has been terrible all year….and Jarvis Jones ate him alive.
7. Brantley….when he could move at all…..picked your secondary apart the entire first half. He obviously reinjured his ankle during the game and had no push off at all and was totally unable to pass the ball or move around at all in the second half (and, as I said, I am not sure why he was in the game in the second half).
8. Florida hardly tried to run the ball all day…..and the minus rushing yards came from the numerous sacks of the QB.
9. Georgia’s defense was NOT superior to Florida’s defense. If fact, I thought Florida’s defense was better. Georgia’s offense was better…..but not much better.

As I walked about a mile to my car after the game I kept thinking, What an embarrassment to the state of Georgia! Glad to live my life knowing that my degree from Georgia Tech will always supercede my wife’s (and AH inlaws) degree from georgia. Tech people are definately a cut above in every way.

JB…..

Excuses are for losers……and Florida does not have any good excuses for losing yesterday…..but they have a lot of good reasons. And the main reason is…..they are not very good this year. But no teams in the SEC East are very good this year…..as clearly stated by Herb Herbstreit on ESPN Saturday morning when he said, “How irrelevant is the SEC East this year?” It is highly irrelevant because LSU and BAMA will destroy whatever team shows up from the East. Just a fact. More than likely……they will also destroy whatever team shows up in New Orleans for the BCS NC game. So I guess that makes the rest of the NCAA irrelevant when it comes to LSU and Bama this year.

You people really amaze me. You call yourself UGA fans but you continue to downplay the victory. Its pathetic, I see the reason why our fans are the laughing stock of the SEC bc we have no faith in our team or coaches. That sucks as a player, coach, and a true fan like I am. I will neva be upset over a win, yes we need to sure up some things on Offense and special teams, but we just beat Florida. Remember 3-18 in the last 21 meetings and the first win since 07. Players made plays to win the game. They executed when need be. Who cares bout bama or lsu? We need to support this team and hop on board bc thats the only way we will beat these two teams and make it back to being the premier SEC team again. Richt has done a helluva job so far after starting 0-2. Im all behind the staff and team. Great game guys, and Im glad to be a real GEORGIA BULLDOG FAN!!!!!!!! Go Dawgs!!!!

Walsh walked out on the turf for his last failed kick and his face was soooooooooo full of choke and I am a failure and just plain old tension, as he focused on the kick TV cameras were in his face and yu could see the fear. UGA has that kicker from Sacramento, Calif. so, let him wrap the season. Walsh is a head case now and is a bundle of nerves. He is a joke artist now. Yes, vs M M State he will hit maybe three and they will say he is back but he is done.

Murray is also a problem. YES, he hit two TDs and made those perfectly BUT our receivers Mike Bennett and T. King went up and handled and muscled the ball. THEY made tough GRABS on his pretty good lobs.

Murray had his soul mate Orson Charles wide open and over threw him about 8 yds. He also had Brown or King streaking twice down his left sideline and made errant throws. Murray is over rated.

UGA won, so for now …………………who cares.

Georgia was clearly the better team. Even Florida knew it. This was an unusual game in that both teams were trying to beat themselves more than the other team. Georgia early on with nerves and the whole game with woeful special teams were trying to hand the game to Florida. Florida’s offense was on a respirator the whole game except when we sold out on an unneeded blitz and didn’t hustle and stay in our lanes on special teams. Murray went into a funk with his timing on passes in the second half but in spite of it all we found a way to win. My nerves can’t take this every week. I am too old for this! Go DAWGs. Win however you can but JUST WIN BABY! But please practice special teams this week and open up the playbook a little bit Bobo! And don’t look past New Mexico State!!!!

I attended Florida in the late 60s and early 70s……and those teams were the worst teams in Floirida history…….and John Brantley’s dad (who was in one of my classes back then) was the QB of a 1-10 Florida team. Now….that was a bad….a really bad Florida team. Florida is a very good wide receiver, a very talented OL, and a power RB from being a top tier team again. And those players may be on their way in this year’s recruiting class. And Driskell and/or Brissett are very, very talented QBs in Florida immediate future.

In Ray Goff’s era as UGA coach, UGA played Ohio State in the old Citrus Bowl and won.

Eric Zeir outperformed Herbsritt and Garrsion Hearst basically embarrassed their former Heisman candidate tailback Robert Smith, as UGA won like 24-7.

Kirk Herbstreit still carries that huge humiliation around to this day. A friend of my in NYC, while on business sat next to him in a restaurant about three years ago and they talked and this Cittus bowl thing came up. He is miffed to this very day. UGA chaps him to the core, so when he can, he hammers them. Fine. Free Country. Does not bother me.

Agree w Blair Miss. The WR’s made great plays on the touchdown passes, but they were nothing special by Murray. He is nothing special- neither is Crowell. I’m really anxious to see how the defense fares against a halfway decent offense. Florida is horrible on both sides of the ball.

Give Georgia the win but all the while remember this. You beat a team with an injured quarterback. No RB’s an extremely young secondary, a head coach with no experience and a new defensive coordinator and an offensive coordinator with no players he chose.

If Muschamp has the same kind of year next year, you gators will run him out of Gainesville! Of course we have more stability right now in coaching. Recruits can’t be sure that Muschamp and company will be their coaches for a long forseeable future. As UGA’s very young team matures, they will continue to improve and continue to win games. Right now, the wheels are off the Gator train.

…and “reasons” = excuses. Using your logic, Tampa, our best wideout was out of the game. I guess had he not been out, we would have won by 20 points or more….just as you say had Brantley been healthy the Gators would have won. I guess thats a “reason” (excuse) that we didn’t beat you any worse.

That was one of the most pathetic games I can remember watching in a long time. Two QB’s that are suppose to be top rival picks when they came into college looked more like popwarner at best. However post that UGA’s going to take LSU apart if they get to the conference title must of never watched LSU. We’re lucky the Dawgs didn’t have to play LSU or Alabama in the regular season and get a taste of what Florida did when they played them. The entire SEC East is no match for the SEC West or any other Conference at this time. At one time the SEC East was Elite but now we’re not even average.

Sorry, but you have your fair share of idiots as well and then the group who honestly believe they are just ‘better people’ because they went to Georgia Tech. The arrogance is laughable.

We quietly go to games, cheer for our side and congratulate those around us, should the other team wins. Most of the fans/alumni that get on these blogs are decent and will grant you that UGA has more idiotic post than Tech – but in % of fans – it’s likely to be pretty close.

GA fans – It was a big win. Team showed toughness and overcame some crazy stuff. Either get behind your team or root for Alabama.

Richt got lucky that he defeated a third-rate Florida team; although they’re rebuilding, they almost beat him. Richt still does not have head-coaching abilities. I wouldn’t let him coach my five year old. He has no integrity; he has fooled UGA into thinking he has head-coaching abilities, but he does not. And UGA was stupid enough to buy it. If Richt was honorable, he would resign and refund all that money, with interest, he has conned UGA out of.

He has already recieved commits from the two top TEs in the country as well…..and they already have Jordan Reed who is going to develop into maybe the top TE in the country in time. The Gator D is strong….and very young. They just need one more top LB and a really good DE to become a great D.

The rest of the SEC….like the rest of the NCAA…..is looking up at them right now. Enjoy while you can…..the East is coming back….real soon…..like next year.

A few observations here. First, why in blazes can Coach Richt not just say our special teams are scary , and actually do something about it. They are a laughing stock around the SEC. WHat good does it do for the defense to play so great, and then go to sidelines and watch a punt returned for six? And we have another kicker on the roster,and on scholarship. Brandon Bogatay is the guy. CMR went out to California to bring him back from JUCO and to do what? Put his tail out there and let him kick the field goals. What’s the worst thing that can happen ? Heck, if he misses or Walsh misses it is the same result. I don’t understand this way of thinking . I wish somebody would explain it to me..

Typical blind crap from you………and exactly what do you think those inside the 25 fumbles by Florida to Georgia were…..non gifts? Or that non-call when Jordan Reed was mauled on that critcial pass play down the middle that turned the MO in Georgia’s direction. Without those gifts (from Florida and the refs)…..your team does not score two TDs and you lose the game. But you won the game (just like Florida has when they got lucky) and because you scored 24 points and Florida scored only 20…..no matter how those points were scored. But neither team looked very good yesterday……..and that is a fact. Both are very young and neither are very well coached at this time.

Somebody brought up Texas a few posts back. The simultaneous falls of Florida and Texas have been quite stunning and parallel each other. Late in the 2009 season they were consensus top 3 teams along with Alabama and looked like they would be for years with the depth of talent on their rosters. They have top 5 recruiting classes every year. But there was an element of smoke and mirrors to both of their offenses, no power running game other than Tebow at either school. Alabama exposed their deficiencies back to back and since then both Florida and Texas went into a downward spiral. Both look like cream puffs physically when they play against top teams. What happened to all those top recruiting classes? Were their recruits only rated so highly because they signed with Florida and Texas, or is it a product of coaching? And it’s interesting that Will Muschamp went from Texas, which had become soft, to Florida which has also become soft.

Come into your house at 9-2 and leave at 10-2. What will change, certainly not your ability to beat UGA, as it is no different than any other year. UGA is not Miami or U of VA. and they handed you your lunch. You will be introduced to a very good UGA Defense that will shut down the corners, and there is not going to be anything up the middle for Tech. against UGA’s defense. Does that mean that your QB will be forced to pass then. Please, please tell me he will throw his wounded duck passes against a quality defense. Just like nine out of the last ten years, Tech. gets an early unwelcome Christmas present, courtesy of UGA.

People read into what they want to think…..not what is actually in a post. I clearly stated that Georgia deserved to win yesterday……no matter the situations related to the game…..as is the case with previous past Gator victories when the only reasons for those Gator victories were Georgia injuries and bad refs. Georgia has a lot of talent on their team…..maybe a little more than Florida because of the offensive talent on Georgia, particularliy at WR and LB (with Ogletree and Jones who are truly outstanding players). But to think or say Florida is history because of this Florida loss to Georiga…..is just blind loyalty to Georgia. The Florida-Georgia game with again be a head knocker next year….with either team having the opportunity to win…..and where coaching will make a difference. In this game, RIcht outcoached Muschamp….and Muschamp needs to get better as a head coach….no doubt. But I also think he will…..and Florida will be back and very strong….very soon. I have no doubt about that as well.

Now…..time to go to Sunday brunch. Enjoy your bragging rights for a year. You earned it.

I think Richt would be smart to send a message to Crowell by holding him out of the New Mexico State game, thereby denying him an opportunity to pad his stats. Richt could say that Crowell has been nicked up for several games and he wants him to be healthy for the stretch run. And then he could tell Crowell privately that if he wants to be the lead running back at Georgia he needs to toughen up and play through the kind of minor bumps and bruises that everybody plays with. I saw a promo for an upcoming feature on ESPN that talks about playing with injuries and it showed former Dawg Terrell Davis talking about how big time players don’t come out of big time games.

Since the field goal couldn’t hit anything, Richt had no choice but to trust his offense to convert 4th downs. He’ll be back to his conservative self against Auburn, no worries. Thought Richt blew his management of his field goal kicker, with all those 50 yards + kicks, really killed Walsh’s confidence, and he’s never gotten it back.

They held Florida to negative rushing yards, their QB was playing on 1 leg, they were penalized 14 times and I had to hold my breath till the end. We threw 2 jump balls for TDs, gave up ovef 200 yards on returns, our once AA kicker has lost it, our AA punter netted about 60 yards…on two punts late in the 4th. Murray is an average QB at best. Missed wide open receivers with time to throw. We are damn lucky to get out of there with a win.

And, if Walsh hits the two chip-shot FGs and UF doesn’t run the kickoff back for TD, you are looking at a similar score as the the other two – 30-13.

I know we aren’t as good as either one of those teams, but I am saying that defensively as well as offensively, the game was about the same as LSU’s and Bama’s. Also, neither of those defenses helf UF to -19 yds rushing.

TampaGator, it wouldn’t matter what if i posted everything you posted. You’re trying to have your cake and eat it too. “I’m not making excuses!” then saying the interference call, where Reed was “mauled” turned the momentum. .right. And that play wasn’t even close to interference. Defender was making a play on the ball. If anything, he had a better chance of catching it than Reed.

I can say I appreciate you being classy with your responses. At lease you’re not saying “you suck mutt fans” or the typical drivel from some around here. But somehow I’m slanting something by pointing out what you wrote. . . right. . .

Here’s the deal. Georgia won. I’m happy as hell about it. Fla people can can “we’re terrible this year, nothing to crow about”. . . wrong. Any time you beat a rival, it feels good. I’ll be more than happy if you guys continue to be terrible in your opinion if it means UGA beating fla. . .I’m sure fla fans know the feeling very well over the past decade or two.

This quote epitomizes the UGA team this year.

“I don’t measure a man’s success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.”

- George S. Patton

We had hit bottom and as these young folks get more experience, UGA will be a force to be reckoned with for a few years to come. Fill a few holes and nobody will look forward to playing UGA next year. How many of you negative posters would have given UGA a chance at being bowl eligible after the first two games, or for some of you even, before the first kick off. I can answer that with a big “ZERO”. UGA may not have played a really hard schedule but they are 6-2, and you naysayers, are now having to result to lies, fabrications, and childish remarks to insult UGA. Here is some news for you. The players and coaches aren’t listening and neither are true UGA fans, What is really sad, is the fact that if UGA fans were supposedly drinking some mythical Kool Aide at the beginning of the year, the Tech. fans have now, bought out the store. You have beaten one over rated as usual ACC school, and all of the sudden, you are number one in America. I am going to enjoy the beat down UGA gives you this year, more than most. Are you going to revert back to the old standard excuse you use of the academic standards being so high at tech. that you can’t recruit superior athletes like UGA does. Those same athletes by the way, that become thugs and bums according to you, after they turn down Tech. each year at recruiting time.

Nerd envy is rampant. Florida is not quite as bad as the excuse makers want to claim. They do have some weapons on offense and had the 11th ranked defense in the country coming into this game. They played Bama tough until Brantley went down. The Dawgs obviously have some work to do on special teams. I don’t think it was coincidental that Murray started missing passes after the shot to the thigh. It’s a win against a team that has been in Georgia’s players heads for a long time. They fought back from a bad hole and dominated the game in the second half. Fix the special teams and this game isn’t close at all. If you are a supposed Georgia fan and you can’t enjoy this one then you are a moron. Talk all you want little bugs. We’ll see on November 26th. Clemson came in ranked 60th in the nation in defense giving up 378 yards per game. Big deal. I think you’ll find these Dawgs are a little bit stouter than the last few years.

GEAUXTIGER,

If your athletic department was on the level, you wouldn’t even have enough players not on suspension to play in the playoff game. Between bar fights, synthetic dope, and probably mix in a few more misdemeanors and felonies, you should be happy you can even field a team. Besides, don’t you have a small matter of beating the Tide in their house before you think too far ahead. I would stick to your own teams blog site, if you have one, and stay off of a site that has nothing to do with your team, or gang, as it seems more appropriate when referring to LSU Take your gumbo and go, loser.

Nerd envy is rampant. Clemson came in with the 60th ranked defense in the country. I think the bees will have a little tougher time against CTG’s young men. They are much stouter than what Johnson has seen in the past. As far as the gators go — It’s a big win against a team that was in Georgia’s head. They played Bama tough until Brantley went down. They came in with the 11th ranked defense in the country. Wasn’t like we were going against Tech’s defense or anything. If you are a Georgia fan and you can’t enjoy this win you have a problem. Fix the special teams and this game isn’t even close. I suspect Murray’s shot to the thigh may have been a factor in the string of missed passes. Not a perfect game by any means, but a win in a game with adversity to overcome is a good thing. Some players stepped up to make big plays. Georgia completely dominated the second half. The dawgs are learning how to win again. Go on and talk little bees we’ll see you on November 26th.

“CRM’s theme song for all you Haters. “How do you like e Now?””

Realizing that Mark Richt isn’t a championship level coach does not mean that one hates him.

Which strong teams has Mr. Richt beat?

How many weak teams has Mr. Richt lost to?

Why does he keep Bobo?

Why does UGA lack a decent Special Team?

What’s happened to our formerly excellent kickers?

Why do we have to keep playing a quarterback who ain’t all that good?

Why is an unconditioned freshman running back our starter?

These and other questions are directly related to our head coach’s responsibilities.

Maybe someone hates Mark Richt, but you don’t have to hate him to understand that he’s a coach who will settle for a barely mediocre Georgia team, instead of insisting on excellence, and making it happen.

Richt has got to have a kicker competition in practices. Let the most accurate kicker kick field goals. Walsh going 1 for 3 against UF ain’t cutting it.

If he can’t accurately kick field goals then he’s just another student athlete…

Great to beat the Gators, but come on folks, UGA hasn’t beaten a good team all year. This UF bunch was as ordinary as can be – for a UF bunch anyway.

I think it’s a huge mistake to perceive this victory as a watershed moment for the program. Reminds me of when the Falcons beat the Cowboys in Dallas one year – gotta go way back – Dan Henning was the head coach. Falcons fans thought we’d turned the corner. Turned out, the Cowboys were just uncharacteristically bad.

The special teams play was freaking atrocious yesterday. Even the estimable Vern Lundquist was offering pointers – suggested Richt might want to hire a special teams coach.

CMR went for the desperate moves when desperate moves were necessary – necessary because he’s in a desperate situation.

These Dawgs are a talented bunch, but there’s nothing new about that for the Dawgs. They’re always talented.

If this win justifies retaining Richt’s head coaching services, then the brain trust didn’t want to replace him in the first place.

Call me a glass-half-empty guy all day every day. But also show me one game in the last three years against a top opponent where Richt has his charges ready to play.

And you amy want to think twice before you classify the Gators of 2011 as a top opponent.

You make a good point (i.e. it’s tough to find a good HC – especially if you’re replacing an HC who was good – emphasis on “was”), but I think you’re saying the same thing a lot of folks do who just don’t want CMR to get fired. They’re looking for any reason not to pull the trigger. I guess that says a lot about Richt, the man, but it won’t improve the quality of UGA football.

Are you happy with the performance of UGA football the past three years? If not, does Richt deserve any of the blame? And what makes you think he’s corrected the problems that have plagued UGA football in recent years?

I guess it’s pretty sorry to gripe about CMR after a victory over the Gators – finally. But that’s my nature I suppose.

Back for some more biased, slanted punishment…..

P.S…….If you are ever in the Clearwater/Clearwater Beach area….and want a great Sunday brunch…..visit the “Island Way Grill” on the causeway between the city and the beach. It is becoming a family Sunday tradition. Nothing finer in Atlanta.

Now…..for all of you thinking Florida is doomed.

1. Florida’s entire defense (except Jaye Howard) returns next year…and most return for 2 or 3 more years. Needs on D to be address by recruiting:

More quality LB depth…..see Jeromi Powell (very fast OLB) and Antonio Morrison (big ILB).

More depth on a young OL – see D.J. Humphies, Jassamen Dunkler, and Omari Phillips (who is equally good on the DL).

Big WR with great hands – see Leroy Pittman (and more to come)

Power back – see MAN CHILD Matt Jones 6′3″ 225 and fast and powerful
Slashing back to back up the man child – Mike Davis out of the Atlanta area

Blocking TE for the running game who can also run patterns and catch the ball – see Colin Thompson, 6′5″ 255 (5 star)

Pass receiving TE with great hands – see Kent Taylor (who Richt wanted very badly)

Free safety who can run, defend, and tackle well – see Marcus Maye and Rhaheim Ledbetter

Add these names and more to the 79% of 4 and 5 stars that make up Florida’s roster….and it won’t be long before the Gators are a power in the SEC again. Muschamp and Weis just need to get their type of players and get more depth…..AND IT IS ON THE WAY.

Georgia is going to be very good for a few years……and the Gators will be right there with them….as usual. I still don’t think much of Richt as a game planning coach……but I have the same feeling about Muschamp right now. But both can recruit like crazy. Time will tell if both will improve as head coaches. But one thing for sure…..yesterday’s win disappointed all those “FIRE RICHT” posters.

Richt’s “class” has not won games for us, but his lack of a killer instinct has certainly lost a bunch. I applaud Richt as well as our D and our young receivers for stepping up and getting the win, but had Walsh not developed a head case, I doubt CMR would have gone for the TD twice on fourth downs. When you lose to UCF 6-3, asking whether he would go for it in the end is a fair question.

Every week I see us starting on the 20 and our opponent starting on the 35 or better. Also, do you not teach the guys to watch for fake FGs and punts? As much talent as ther is on this team, surely uou can find enough good plaqyers to field better special teams unit than the ones I’ve seen of far this year. If changes are not made immediately, our chances of winning out are slim to none. If not for the poor play on special teams, we would have destroyed the Florida yesterday.

AP Poll will likely drop Georgia out of top 25. With Florida’s poor record, and the low margin of victory, voters or computers don’t cast favorable votes.With the small move in the USA Today poll, voters clearly are not impressed with Mark Richt or Georgia.

On the other hand, Georgia Tech should vault into the top 20 on the AP Poll with the upset of the weekend against top 5 ranked Clemson.

SEC Commissioner

Lets play Devils Advocate or look at both sides of the coin.

Side 1
Congratulations to UGA for winning a very ugly game. These type of games UGA normally finds a way to lose. This time UGA fought back and won. Mark Richt and Todd Grantham improved their defense and took a positive approach to the John Brantley situation and made UF look horrible at times. The offense did a good job of not making that big mistake in their own side of the field that usually turns the game late. Great job for UGA and UGA fans can repeat the same mantra all year 24-20. Enjoy it UGA fans.

Side Two.

UGA should feel very very fortunate to escape with a win. The UF team was one dimensional due to a QB who really should not have played as much as he did. UGA allowed special teams plays to keep UF in the game. The Bulldawgs are not in the same class as LSU or Alabama and probably Arkansas. The games against Auburn and GT are going to be very difficult games for Georgia as Auburn is able to spread the field pretty good and UGA will not have a full week off to prepare for the triple option for Tech. The disciplinary bugs still pops up for UGA every now and again.

All in All, congratulations to UGA. UGA has 6 more days until they play a bottom of the barrel New Mexico St. program and the big picture sets it up for UGA to have a chance to win the east as USC will have a difficult time beating Arkansas.

Enjoy UGA fans.

A corner to play on the other side opposite of Marcus Roberson (who will be on the all-sec freshman team this year)….that need will be filled by Brian Poole….the nations #1 corner (he is a total shut down corner).

….again…..79% of the Gators roster is made up of freshmen and sophs…..and will soon be joined by the nations top recruiting class this year.

Expect nothing but huge battles between the Gators and the Dawgs for years to come. In fact, Georgia and Florida will join LSU and Bama very soon as powers in the SEC (unless Richt and Muschamp mess up somehow….but I don’t think they will.)

Old School….

Muschamp isn’t lost. He is very frustrated with the undisciplined play of many of his very talented, but inexperienced freshmen and sophs….most of which played tons of minutes in that game yesterday.

for example, yesterday…

-14 penalities (one of which was not and cost the Gators a TD shortly afterwards)
-2 fumbles inside their own 25
-had to call 4 timeouts because players did not line up in time or correctly (a senior QB who never looked at the play clock in any of those situations and never took leadership of the situations on the field….something Brantley has never done…..and for which he will not be missed).
-Jumping offsides for no reason 3 times that gave Georgia first downs
-Getting a turnover inside the 15 and getting no points

Those things would make any coach look bad…..and angry….both of which they did.

I do hope Muschamp benches Brantley for the rest of the year and plays Driskell and Brissett against Vandy, South Carolina, and FSU….so they can get an early start on next year. But I am sure Brantley will play if he is healthy.

Again….congrats on your victory….enjoy it and try to not get overwhelmed with a victory over a very limited Florida team on offense this year. I do think Florida will be much stronger on offense next year with the arrival of Matt Jones and Mike Davis at RB….and hopefully one or two of the two big time WRs (Stefon Diggs and/or D’Varis Montgomery). The Gators already have commitments from the TEs and OL they need.

Enjoy and good luck. I hope the Dawgs make it to Atlanta. But I don’t think you will enjoy that visit to the Dome. But LSU or Bama will.

The “Brantley was hurt” excuse assumes that he is something special when he’s not hurt. If so, someone send me the game tape that bears that out, because I haven’t seen it.

Speaking of injuries, we saw yesterday what Malcom Mitchell means to the Dogs. Without him, there’s no vertical passing game. Florida played pass coverage very tight without that threat. That’s not a knock against the other Georgia receivers, but we need Mitchell to stretch the defense and create some room underneath for Bennett, Charles and the other guys.

Hopefully Mitchell will be 100% for Auburn. If so, I like our chances.

I’ll take any win over the Gators – no matter how sloppily played, poorly coached, lucky, etc.

A few points:

1. Glad to see Richt take a chance by going for it. Yeah, I know Walsh is mental right now, but still a good sign.

2. Carlton Thomas is a damn good high school back. Why does Bobo insist on the up the middle runs with him?

3. We need a coach dedicated strictly to special teams.

4. Tech looks great and Auburn looks pretty damn good.

5. Samuels runs much harder than Crowell – sure, IC is much more talented but less heart.

6. Will we ever use Nick Marshall on offense?

7. How much better could our offense be with a top notch coordinator?

8. The defense really played like Dawgs of old.

The future says: SEC East Champs with a loss to Tech

Hate to see supposed Dawg fans talking down a victory in Jacksonville. Coach Richt is number ten in winning percentage for active college football coaches. I can’t think of a coach I would rather have than him (look at his record compared to Vince Dooley’s over the same number of years if you want to get a reality check on how good he really is). He and his coaching staff have taken a very young group of really talented players and ripped off six wins in a row. Vandy showed Arkansas yesterday what can happen on any given Saturday in the SEC. Coach Granthem and the Defense is the real deal. These guys are truly Junkyard Dawgs. Murray has struggled, but the kid is always a warrior. Samuel IV played his heart out. Let’s get a special teams coach and put this together going down the stretch. For all you naysayers, this bandwagon is easy to jump off of and it will leave room for the rest of us. Go Dawgs!

You, my friend, enjoy mediocrity, and I do not. You are the reason we will never win a national championship under Mark Richt, and I will take that to the bank.

-When was the last time we altered a coaching strategy on the fly?
-When was the last time we beat a ranked opponent?
-Have you seen a worse special teams?

Yes, we are 6-2 and it feels good to get a win, BUT, we should be getting better, winning with more conviction, improving. Instead, Murray looks worse every game, our special teams look awful, our play calling is bland (always has been), we have zero killer instinct. I’ll stop now.

Worst team Florida’s had in several years, they commit 13 penalties, and we beat ‘em by 4. Now we’re really rolling, huh?
And it still took the team almost an entire half to start playing hard. I want Coach Richt gone…I’m tired of the underachieving.

Don’t get me wrong because I certainly am glad we won this game BUT Georgia had the ball 15 minute , an entire quarter, longer than Florida and barely won the game. Something has to be done about our special teams play. The collapse of Walsh this year is the most puzzling thing I have witnessed from a Georgia player ever. Most all American candidates that are not injured do great their senior year. I sure hope Marshall Morgan out of Miami is good because we can only improve next year in kicking field goals.
McGarity please give Grantham a 3 year extension now and pay him whatever he want. He will be on the market after this year.
2012 was always going to be the year that everything came together. Our defense will be the real deal next year, one that can compete against teams like LSU and have the same respect they have against great offensive teams. Murray finally being able to handle the pressure of an SEC Quarterback , a field goat kicker that can make at least 85% of his kicks and another great running back to help Crowell. Make no mistake Crowell is the real deal , he is a great running back but the SEC is so bad ass every team needs at least two great running backs and I hope that need will be filled by this years recruiting class. With what we already have coming in with this year recruiting class all we need to do now is get 2 more great offensive linemen , maybe from the JR. College recruit’s and we will be set for a top 10 in 2012.

Richt get a “B+” for this win, but let’s not kid ourselves. Coach Valium does not bring out a killer instinct, he puts the team to sleep. No special teams coach? Do they even have a kicking coach? The bulldogs need a new attitude, and CMR ain’t it. Our team wins in spite of its coaching.

Kool Aid and David G – No time like the present to jump off the wagon. A win is a win whether it’s 4 or 40. Ga/Fla is a rivalry game and you can make excuses for why Florida didn’t play better, the penalties, injuries etc., but that’s what you have to deal with when playing football. Again, look at a year-by-year comparison between Dooley and Richt. You guys would have been calling for Dooley’s head and talking about mediocrity. Support the team, the coaches and the players and good things will happen, they already have and you can’t see it. Go Dawgs!

You did win over a bad team. Why do you give the ACC a hard time and you are living off a milk toast schedule yourself? Someone must have a vested interest in Georgia winning why else would your schedule be so ridiculous compared to every other team in the SEC and you cannot take advantage of it.

“Support the team, the coaches and the players and good things will happen, they already have and you can’t see it”

I fully support UGA, always will. There’s a difference between blindly following and not questioning something when something isn’t right and supporting. People like you don’t get that, though. If your kid was getting C’s (Richt’s winning % is 73%) in school would you say anything to him, or would you just let it go, and go, and go? I thought so.

You see, that’s the difference between me and you, between great and just OK. I don’t strive for 8-4 or 9-3, or even 10-2. I strive for 12-0. So does Saban, Miles, Urban, Chizik, and Stoops and other great coaches.

What I cannot figure out is if the stuff we read about your recruits is BS from this paper on out to the rest of the world or is Richt that bad coach, which I truly believe it is his coordinators. I can promise you that number 1 you have playing is not number 34 or in the same planet. And that defensive co. is not Erk Russell. But if Erk just had this defense you would be up there with Ala. and LSU don’t even get rid of Bobo.

Murray is not accurate enough to be a premier SEC quarterback. The receivers bailed him out. I think Crowell is going to regress much like Washun did. It’s clear Crowell is not getting the carries expected of a premiere back. He may be a bust. And Samuel? He flashed his potential for about 10 minutes … enough to help us win. Where’s that been for three years? Did the kickers have bets on the game? Another, halting, stumbling, fitful effort over a bad team.

You won’t hear Bradley say that he is scared of you. It is easy to hit Tech we don’t read his paper anyway but the Dawgs are his reading public, just like WSBs. Georgia goes out with all that money and instead of hiring a football coach they hire a PR man that covers up this and writes copy for a lazy Bradley. I was listening to Butler on 750 talk about how this will help your recruiting. How the hell can you do any better in recruiting than you are doing right now?

my theory on Crowell: the kid is looking at a bigger picture than playing in Athens. He’s playing not to get hurt and mess up his chances at getting to the next level. You may never get the best of Crowell. Running backs have a short life span. Lattimore has already taken too much of a pounding at SoCar. Life for a feature back in the SEC is much tougher than being a feature back in a lesser conference. IC might be looking big picture and can’t say i’d blame him.

Voyager Dawg

Kool Aid – Mark Richt’s winning percentage has him in the top ten active college football coaches. It’s like a batting average. Not really a fair comparison saying it would be like getting a “C” like you would get in school. I’m great with my kid being in the top ten of his class or batting .730 on his baseball team. The bottom line is I’m just a fan of the Dawgs, what I think doesn’t make a big difference one way or the other and certainly won’t affect the team’s ability to win National Championships. I agree with you on the special teams not being very good, but I guess I’m more of a glass half full type of person. A year ago everyone wanted Will Muschamp to come back to Georgia and we can see how that’s working out for Florida. Kirby Smart has been the flavor of the week. I for one don’t want us to take a step back and don’t really see anyone out there that would come to Georgia and do better. Gotta go mow the yard. Enjoy the victory and the rest of the weekend! Go Dawgs!

Mark Richt isn’t going to make anyone forget Vince Lombardi, or Vince Dooley for that matter, but come on guys, we’re on a 6 game losing streak and just beat Florida. Let’s give some credit where credit is due. He showed some guts by passing into the endzone on 4th down right before halftime, and that carried over into a second half where we outscored Florida 14-3. He might find his way into the SECC Game before it’s over. Enough negativity.

Yes, our kicking game wasn’t what we expected. But the point is, we finished the game and the end result was a win. A true fan stays with their team through all the adversity. Yes, there were times that you would think a coaching change needs to happen. But look at the reality of it all. Look at the overal win-loss record of our coach. Look at the respect the players have for this coach. Look at the discipline these players are showing on and off the field. Yes, the monkey is off our back finally with this win over Florida. It doesn’t matter what record either of these teams have when this game starts. It is a fight from the start to the finish. Those of you that want to just put the Dawgs down. I have this to say to you. If you can do it better, get out there and try. If not you need to either be with us or against us. If you go against, you were never a true Fan. I enjoy watching the University of Georgia Bulldogs every time they play. I am not able to attend many games but I will always watch them. There have been bad moments and good moments for them. I will always believe in them and be a true Fan. I think this bunch of players we have are going to surprise you naysayers. I am glad we have such a great coach who has character and integrity. These values aren’t found in all coaches. Keep playing hard, Dawgs. You guys are doing great and those of us that are True Fans. We appreciate you and look forward to watching you play the rest of this season. Don’t let the remarks by a few fans reflect what those of us that are true Fans feel. We are behind you 100 percent.

Richt: “I just thought the best thing to do was to go for it on fourth down. I just felt like we needed a touchdown. I didn’t think threes were going to get it.”

Bobo revealed later that after the kicker missed the field goal, Richt said we’re going to be in 4 down mode every time we get close from here out. Bobo said that directive changed the way he called plays on UF’s side of the field.

In other words, Richt SAID it was because e needed td’s instead of field goals, when in truth, it was because Walsh was missing field goals.

Wasn’t about courage, was more about desperation.

Hey Kool Aid – A .730 winning percentage is more like a batting average than getting a “C” in school, bad analogy my friend (for the record, both of the kids are straight “A” students). If my son is batting .730 on his little league team, I’m great with that and if he’s in the top ten in his class I’m good with that too. I would love for him to play for a man like Mark Richt. I’m glad to be debating a win with you rather than a loss. I hope the Dawgs continue winning and Coach Richt has a long and illustrious career at Georgia. Go Dawgs!

In the big picture, beating Florida was no different than beating Vanderbilt. Both were teams with pathetic 4 wins, 4 losses records. So were Coastal Carolina & Miss St. All 4 wins, 4 losses. Tenn is worse, 3 wins, 5 losses, Ole Miss is worse, 2 wins, 6 losses.

So what does the win mean? Nothing we didn’t already know.

Georgia can beat teams with 4 win, 4 loss records, and can LOSE to any team with a better record than.

Let’s get real. We won and it feels great. We play actioned on first down almost every play, thus making our running game really have to work. If not for two great catches on 4th down throws that were mediocre, Richt would have given the game away again. We are so bad against 4th down and any kind of special play. Teams could beat us by lining up in the punt/field goal formation on 1st 2nd and 3rd downs too and it would work against Richt. We got lucky against probably the worst UF team in 20 years.

You GA fans are too close to it with your hearts. The truth is, GA is a pretty good football team. They have a good head coach, a mediocre OC, and the defensive coach is getting better each week. To beat FL is still a good win, even when they are down. How many prep AA are on that roster? And not that many are hurt. 6 in a row with all the negativity you guys spill out is a credit to Coach and his staff.

Let’s enjoy this win before our games against Auburn & GT (and God Forbid LSU or Bama!).

Dawg Nation,
I love my Dawgs but the fact is that we’ve beaten only unranked teams and some of those by slim margins.
Auburn, GT (and God forbid LSU or Bama) will be different stories. The real test is if we make it to The SECC. My guess is LSU or Bama will totally dominate. But I’ve certainly been wrong before so let’s see.

Regarding Crowell,
Give the kid a break. He does not have the toughness of Walker but can run like the wind. This kid is the real deal. Allow him to succeed.

UGA Defense: The second half was owned by The Dawgs courtesy of the D. But does the fact that UF had a bad legged QB, limited receivers and almost no runners impact the impressive nature of their performance? YES, IT DOES. Our D gave up 20 points to one of the worst Offensive Teams in the SEC.

Murray: Anyone thinking this kid is flawed is wrong, wrong, wrong, He too is the real deal and is working behind the biggest OL in college and the NFL but has limited confidence in it from experience in my opinion. Give the kid a break. He can hit a receiver and will improve next year.

Coaching: I saw zero improvement in this respect despite our win. Richt is proud that our players never quit……………..I recall a time when no one had to think of quitting in a UGA / UF Game.
I am among those who think that a Richt return will ensure mediocrity.

Bottomline:
We are 6-2 only because the teams we’ve beaten stink.
It reminds me of Nebraska in the old days when they’d win the National Championship by playing no one of consequence.

Of course the above is only my opinion and I could be wrong.

@Crenshaw…why do you have to act like a little child and spout all these insults towards the dawgs…Can’t you be proud of your team, they did a great job and looked good against a very good Clemson team, according to experts….the dawgs did what they needed to do in jax and that was to get a “W”..You know for all these years, it was hard for any dawg fan to say or pump their chest about anything going into this game based on the results of the past 21 years….but for a “Tech” fan to say anything at this point about the dawgs when I believe your record against Coach Richt is 1-9 in the last 10 years seems a little absurd…You may indeed get a win this year, but hey we still get to play the game at some point, so we will see….And by the way alot of the teams that you think are so bad that we beat probably would give some of your so called powerhouses in the ACC a pretty good game…but you know we don’t know the answer to that either do we….but keep being a child and sit behind the comfort of your computer and spout off about how great you are…,.One thing I do know is that the dawgs are far from being a powerhouse this year or in recent memory, and yes we have some things to correct, thats why we have practices, but one thing that I can say without hesitation is: Coach Richt and the dawgs are 9-1 against your team over the past 10 years….I would keep my mouth shut at this point until you can reverse that trend just as a lot of dawg fans have had to do when it comes to the gators….go dawgs and again a very good win for Tech

He was right. UGA was 5-2 at that time, but the 5 wins were not big time wins, because they were all against teams that are not big time, all now have 4-6 losses. Murray might consider the Florida win a big time game, because it’s usually 2 ranked teams going at it, but wasn’t this year. It was a #22 ranked team, going up against a 4-3 team. Murray might have thought this was the game that saved Richt’s job, beating a 4-4 unranked florida, but judging form McGarity’s own statement above, I don’t think it was enough.

@Oakwood dawg…statistically we were one of the best specialty teams in many categories last season, but you are correct we are not playing very well in all phases…About 85-90% of teams don’t have a single designated Special Teams coach, the reason being that you are only allowed a certain number of coaches..That wasn’t always the case years ago, but now a lot of those duties need to be shared…I do agree that Coach Richt may need to take charge in this area a little more, but hiring a one coach for special teams sounds great but that means someone will double up with other duties with the position coaches….The bottom line is that its been a combination of things, I know there have been personnel changes but also there have been some injuries to players and others have had to fill in so the cohesiveness is just not there…But give the gators credit, they made excellent blocks and opened up creases for two of the fastest players in the SEC…but we must improve, we know it and the coaches know it, and for sure the players know it…go dawgs

way to ham it up beating a 4-4 team with a gimpy QB! Auburn’s defense held florida to 6 points. Let’s make sure that’s clear, Auburn, which has been gouged be every single team they’ve played including Utah St and Fla Atlantic, held florida to 6 points…. Here’s hoping UGA makes it to ATL. This team will be absolutely taken to the woodshed and embarrassed by BAMA/LSU. Its a 4-TD blowout on primetime national TV. Those were 2 horrible teams that played a sloppy game saturday. nothing special about beating that team.

Great win for the Dawgs. All Dawg fans love a win over Florida, no matter what. The folks that say but this and but that are NOT Dawg fans.

Gators you never fail to frustrate and antagonize me. For the past 20 odd years, I have prayed and hoped against hope that UGA would beat you. I have gone to the Ga/Fla game a least a dozen times to root against you and to pull for my alma mater – never been when UGA won. Without fail you have made my trip back miserable and I ran out of booze to drown my sorrow. My frustration was palatable to my friends and family. And then yesterday when you could have redeemed yourself in my eyes by winning and giving us a chance to get an SEC caliber coach, you frustrated and antagonized me once more. Now Richt will be redeemed in the eyes of the undiscerning, superficial Bulldog nation and continue his medicore coaching career. When are you going to see that he cannot inspire the team to greatness. He cannot instill discipline. He cannot teach them to dominate an opponant. Those coaching traits are not in Richt’s character. As of today, I am becoming an Alabama fan. I’m to old to be this frustrated all the time. Life is too short for me now.

Crenshaw, you are obviously a Tech fan so considering CMR’s record against Tech you are making yourself look like a complete fool by critisizing him.

Koolaid, you are so disgruntled with the Dawgs you have my permission to go and find another team to pull for. Your earlier confession that you would have fired Dooley before he won his NC pretty much says all I need to know about your knowledge of the game.

Both of you guys are hilarious!

GO DAWGS!!!

dawgster, you and i both love the dawgs and want whats best for them. however, you and i disagree on the special teams philosophy. special teams play is hurting us–and seems like you agree to that. st can cost us i.e. touchdowns, field position and sometimes a victory. it should be an important part of our game plan. i don’t know how much cmr is involved in play calling and maybe he shouldn’t be involved in st but someone needs to take charge and 4 don’t get it. Makes me think of our gov’t but thats another subject. all i know is if our special teams don’t play one hell of game against alburn we won’t win and that whats important to me and it should be to you.

Richt: “Okay.”

Florida: 3 MNC’s
Tennessee: 1 MNC
Auburn: 1 MNC

UGA: 0 MNC’s

First – GREAT , FABULOUS GAME – DAWGS!

Next – You Guys are WORST than the AJC Writers. It is a wonder any top recruit would subject themselves to this. The man (the leading rusher) answer the coach’s call and came back in and ran with an injury that might cause him to miss the next game. And yall ridicule him. After we FINALLY get a win against Florida, yall spend half the blog lowrating your top recruit. This year’s senior are reading these blogs as well.

Then yall blame Coach Richt when some of Georgia top recruits decide to go elsewhere.

Just Be Happy -For Once.

Florida vs Auburn

For those mentioning the low scoring Florida offense vs Auburn and comparing that to this game, please remember some facts before comparing the 2:

1) Auburn home game, if you don’t understand the importance of playing in front of your home crowd, you’re hopeless

2) 99-63-16-8 (1 TD) / 32-36 (0 TD) = Florida kick return yards vs GA special teams, FL kick return yds vs Auburn ST. Special Teams can be game changing, period.

3) John Brantley vs Jeff Driskel/Jacoby Brissett, teams operate differently when they’re being led by the QB they’re use to practicing with. In the Alabama game where Brantley got hurt, he still ended up having: more yds passing, better completion %, and better rating than Bama starter McCarron. Their QB sub next week vs LSU? Horrible. Their 2 subs the week after vs Auburn? Even worse.

Brantley starting combined with bad special teams coverage = more pts scored vs UGA than Auburn so stop comparing the two games when they were very different situations.

If you would have said the most important big play of the day was a 70 yard Jeff Demps run…you would of thought it was a TD. The fastest man in college football was Brandon Boykin running him down from behind and stopping a TD which resulted in their kicker missing a field goal. They really needed Jeff Demps in the end zone. Go Dawgs!!!

I hope I don’t have to hear all the BULL—- from all you gators who can’t except reality. You just got your butt kicked… like it or not. The score shows close but that is where it ends. “UF” could only muster some “O” against a scary specials team of “UGA” MINUS rushing yardages. Did you see “UGA” safety “BB” run down “UF” Demps from behined. Where was that world class speed.
I tried to tell you gators too much rust on the “UF” “O” GOOO DAWGSSSS

It was a sloppy win against a less than stellar Florida team, but a win is a win and I’ll take it. Now, can we PLEASE get a special teams coach??? This game would have been a lot more lopsided if we had kickoff coverage, a place kicker, and a punter. (Yes, I know the kicking game was beyond reproach last year, but then what the hell happened this season?)

I seriously doubt “Rocker” has been a fan for 30 years (I seriously doubt you are over 25) or else you would realize that , in UGA history, 6-2 is far from “pathetic.” Only people who were in diapers or not born yet in the late 80s and 90s would be up in arms about this season. UGA went through a 25 year drought of irrelevance pre-Richt. I fail to understand why everyone thinks there is some golden ticket coach who is going to win multiple championships.
