A tale of two half’s.

First half, 5 missed opportunities, at least 6 clipping or holding penalties on LSU not called including 2 on phantom LSU touchdown on a touchdown that should have been reversed.

Second half, first two plays of first three offenses series we operate under center, something LSU ate alive in first half and more so in second. Offensively and defensively, players and coaches lost focus and intensity.

Best team won but……………….what a first half defense and what might have been.

Hopefully recruits see we have a lot holes but there is hope we didn’t see this time a year ago. We still need to take care of our bowl game unlike last year.

That was an embarrassment. No one could catch a pass. Coach not smart enough to punt away from their most dangerous player. Coach getting uber-conservative with a 10-0 lead.

Four other SEC coaches won BCS championships in the last five years. Mark Richt has won zero in 11 years.

FIRE MARK RICHT.

Good game by Coach Grantham. UGA defense gave it their all. Bobo came out calling great plays to keep LSU off balance but strayed away from it to establish an injured run game against the BEST DEFENSE in the nation (STUPID decision….Bobo should finally be let go), poor UGA receiver play, and inconsistent calls from the refs are all factors that decided that LSU would play in the National Championship. In terms of the Mathieu play, the ball never crossed the goal line and I thought it should have been ruled a fumble out of the endzone resulting in a touchback. Nevertheless, great coaching adjustments by LSU in the 2nd half and they are CLEARLY the #1 team and much luck to you guys in the rematch against Bama. GO DAWGS!!!!! (Richt deserves an extension!)

I’m no LSU fan but those that support the BCS like to say that the current system makes the regular season a playoff. If that’s true, then it makes no sense that LSU would have to beat Alabama again. Doesn’t matter if Alabama is the second best team or not. They’ve already eliminated Alabama in the regular season playoff. They should now get Ok. State, or Va Tech or someone. Don’t quite get this BCS thing.

The Dawgs let them gain the momentum. We left too many plays on the field and then punted to a guy that the whole LSU team looks to save their butts and he did it. We stood toe to toe with them until the second punt return. LSU is like an avalanche. Once you set them off nothing will stop them. They were stunned in the first half. But a young UGA team didn’t make the plays that were there and it came back to bite them.

Hats off to LSU. They are the most dominating college team I’ve ever seen. They play a psyche game and once you flinch they are like their namesakes… they are all over you. The Dawgs should take this as a learning experience. We have the athletes… we just need the attitude. We really needed Samuel healthy. Ken Malcomb ran hard late. I bit of muscle to keep LSU honest and it might have been different.

Always a Dawg win, lose, or draw.

Apart from the two dropped TD passes which would have changed the game, why did Bobo go so conservative in the second quarter and beginning the third quater? What does the coaching staff have against Ken Malcome? He runs hard every time he plays and clearly is better than Carlton Thomas. With our difficulty running the ball why not give him a shot when running the ball matters, like against Tech. I don’t know this kid but if I am him, I transfer.

LSU is gooooood. But go figure, 13 point favorite. You knew it was coming, it was shocking how bad they played in the first half but yet they scored 42 unanswered points?

And I did not see any clipping or block in the back on the punt return. yes it looks like he tossed the ball early but you know, the only players around him were LSU. You can’t cry over that play given the fact he was just handing the ball to the ref. Where were the UGA players? It looked on tv like they only had 5 players on the field?

BUT 42 unanswered points most all in the second half? I think LSU bought into its own hype and came out flat and not ready but eventually after UGA had thrown the kitchen sink at them they got beat down.

Interesting game. Do not believe Alabama should be in the national championship given they lost at home. I say VT or Ok St. I mean what happened to “the regular season is the playoff in college…”

And that QB from Baylor… should win the Heisman. I’m sure he’s done more with less than Luck and Richardson.

Mark, the LSU defense was on the field a long time. Instead of getting

UGA is not a contender on the national stage; rather, just a fraud. Quit drinking the kool-aid UGA fans, you are not a national championship contender.

It was a good season and i think we are the 3rd best team in the SEC. It is Nice to be in the dome playing for the SEC. After all UGA played the schedule the SEC office gave them to play.
On today’s game a few points. 1) we had a plan and it was working. Why did we stop. 2) Richt must have a special teams coach 3) Why do we continue to recruit 165 lbs running backs. 4) why did we not see more of Boo Malcolm all season, he was the only back that looked ready to play.
My only real problem about losing to a great team … the defense quit on us. Quit in a championship game on national television. Quit with there mama’s and there girl friends watching. Our boys got punched in the nose and they quit. To be honest Boise St did the same thing in a similar second half.

Georgia had them worried folks. Believe me, No 1st. downs in the 1st half says alot about our defense. The one deciding point was when Murray turned the ball over to LSU at the Georgia 20. That changed the whole entire game.
Each team was waiting for something to happen to gain momentum and sure enough its Murray again! Twinkle toes cant hold onto the ball. I said yesterday that if Georgia had more turnovers they’d lose.
You cannot give a No.#1 team 21 pts. on the board and expect to win the game.
LSU feeds off turnovers and special teams play.
LSU found their mojo but wouldve won anyway. Cant drop passes, be penalized more, be thin at running back and expect to compete with those guys.
Georgia you had it but didnt capitalize on it. You kept letting them back into the game when you shouldve clearly been ahead 24-7.
Great teams find ways to win and so they did.
LSU is not the best team since Nebraska in the 90’s. They deserve to be No.#1 cause theyre undefeated.
Great teams are dominant from start to finish not LSU.
We gave them a scare and now Alabama will give them a heart attack.

After an incredible effort by the defense and leaving at least 14 points on the field (well, 21 if honey badger’s fumble/toss to the ref had been correctly called), that 2nd half collapse was utterly complete and painful. Murray was forcing it, but with no running game whatsoever there was not much else to do. Those play action fakes he does so well don’t do much good once they realize we are not going to actually run it. I don’t really blame him or the play calling when we have no SEC quality backs to complete the offense. Even if we converted those opportunities it might not have been enough Special teams got us again, but its a little more understandable with that #7 returning punts. Crowell is an enigma, too brittle and a slight head case but he may still get it together his soph year. Dogs going hard after #1 running back Marshall, so hopefully he will have some competition. All that said, LSU is in a separate class — a team so good it wins with a completely mediocre qb. Kind of amazing really. But they are so physically imposing you could see us starting to quit in the 2nd half. That was disheartening, but we have a lot of talent returning and the defense will be able to dominate for a complete game against most teams — including the SEC East next year. Don’t see anyone in our division really stopping us from another SEC championship game in 2012 — maybe we will be better situated to stay with LSU or Bama then. But we better bring a legit running game.

I am proud of that team for the season. I expected 8 wins and at best C-Fil-a bowl. We got much more.

Defense gave up two drives to the #1 team in the nation. UGA outgained the #1 team in the nation.

Murray is our QB. Until someone shows more heart than that kid or talent I’ll take him any day.

Our freshman receivers Mitchell and Bennett learned a lot tonight. T King you gotta step up way to many drops this year. Work hard and get better.

K. Malcome why are you in the doghouse. When in a game you run with heart and power. What are you doing off the field and at practice to not be playing? Dedicate yourself.

I. Crowell go ahead and head back to Columbus now. Like others said the ankle was fine after good runs and you showed your true colors on that penalty and all of the limping off the field. RB coach has to take the blame for the mess that 2011 RB’s were.

Guys we had a bunch of freshman and sophmores lose to the number 1 team in the nation and they beat them for a half.

If I was Richt, I’d consider two things. 1) you’ve won 100 games, look in your locker room and face the reality that’s not going to be a top 15 team next year and move on from coaching and take a job with ESPN in place of Meyer. you’ve got the face for tv anyways and you can spend 6 months out of the year doing missionary work.

2) go to penn st. like the rumors have been floating around. they’d take him over mullens even though mullens is a local boy. but they’ll never fire you and they’ll pay you a lot of money for a long time.

But staying at UGA, I wouldn’t do it if it were me.

You are exactly right. Bobo is awful and the loss is on him. Yes the wr dropped passes, but the game was LOST in first half when we were backed up inside the 15 and we change to the I formation and start RUNNING the ball up the middle. The “spread” shotgun plays had been working…..and suddenly we go conservative. Ridiculous.
And kicking to #7 was the dumbest part of the whole game. Did they even watch tape of the ark game?? Kick it out of bounds!

This team is young and will get better, but unfortunately will continue to lose big games because the whole coaching staff save grantham is clueless.

The Defense played the best 1st half ive seen anyone play on LSU in a long time. Way to go guys if it werent for our defense, we probably wouldnt have been in the SEC Championship game. Todd Grantham is doing a great job.
Cant say the same about our Offense. But i’ll say that our OL did great the 1st half and really until LSU went ahead 21-10. Momentum fired them up on LSU defense. WR oh my gosh the drop passes was a huge blow to the game.
Crowell, hey im not sure where his head is at right now. Tough LSU defense huh Crowell? Hey not taking nothing away from LSU Defense but Georgia is better but Boykin is a soft DB that cant tackle. Did anyone see how Boykin took the kickoff and immediately fell down when he saw 2 LSU players running toward him?
Georgia was thin at LB, Front 3, and has a weak CB Boykin but still challenged LSU. But that Murray kid runs fast but lays down if he thinks hes gonna get hit. No toughness in him or Crowell.
Murray single handedly gave that game to LSU by fumbling the ball at the 20.
That alone turned the entire game in LSU’s favor. The defense gave up, the offense quit blocking, the running backs gained a yard a carry and everything came to a stand still.
Georgia had already lost the game in their minds but the fumble gave away their hearts. Murray is no David Greene, full of spirit, determination or guts.
He loses his composure and gets confused then lays down without even being touched. Kinda like Matt Ryan does with the Falcons.
Mark Richt has got to go outside the coaches realm and bring in a special teams coach. Not a friend, not one that he played football or coached with but a AAA Special teams coach. Cost you 7 pts, and the momentum.
WR’s you get a D for effort, drop passes, wrong routes and running scared. RB’;s get an F, too timid, missing blocking assignments and no yardage.
QB gets a C, interception, fumble, and not getting his team up. Offensive Coach gets an F, which is the case when they play a top 25 team. Bobo just plainly stinks.
Defense gets an A-, sensational 1st half, 2nd half bad tackling and giving up! To let a LSU team score over 40 pts is unacceptable. Damn Georgia you made LSU look good in the 2nd half. Read the headlines Georgia blown out!
Take some pride in all your accomplishments, even if Murray cant play. You were that good in the 1st half and i know you were gonna be better in the 2nd half, but you gave up! Murray and the offense put you into another bad situation, but still you gotta rise up and keep going.
Its not your fault that Georgia has a sorry Offensive Coordinator, a freshman back that gets hang nails, and a QB thats afraid of getting hit.
Honestly i thought that our Defense would get a fumble or interception and turn momentum back around. You gave up way too early D-Dawgs.

You morons on herre are blaming Bobo and Murray for this loss? Really? Did you watch the game? We had to play nearly perfect to win this game, and when you drop 2 TD passes, 6-7 balls, and make mistake after crucial mistake, what did you expect. Our defense played its best half of football perhaps ever, but just couldn’t overcome the mistakes we made in the 2nd half. And then momentum kicked in and it was over. It also didn’t help that we had no real tailbacks. Made us entirely predictable. I hope all the great RB recruits watched that game and realize now just how big an impact they could have.

JB, I’ve been a Dawg fan since ‘76. I don’t know the Malcome’s but I hope he transfers. I’ve never seen Malcome practice but I’ve seen him play this year and clearly he is better than Thomas, Harton, Samuel, and surely tougher than Crowell. I don’t know what the coaching staff has against him but he can play and should go somewhere else so he can play. Love Richt, but he may have missed an opportunity for Malcome to bolster running game. Dawgs, if you remember, he did a similar thing with Verron Haynes- did not play tail back until the last 3 games of the season. Coming from 6-7 last year, this has been a great year. Recruit well again and go at it next year.

Look, as much as I HATE the Dawgs, you can’t looks at this game & say “Oh they didn’t play anyone & this showed they are no good” They are still 10-3 after going 6-7. They stomped us royally last weekend. They played a great 1st half but did not play a perfect game (too many dropped passes, missed field goal, missed interception) & to compete with LSU you HAVE to play a PERFECT game. LSU is just on another level of any team in the FBS short of Alabama.

People say Bobo ain’t the problem after that supposed great first quarter everything I mean everything just went downhill the great QB Aaron Murray finally showed us who he really was overrated.

There were many times I saw him throwing passes without any defensive players around him couldn’t even reach the receivers themselves.

Maybe Crowell does need some competition around him, but a bad RB he is not just needs more players to challenge him for the spot.

Still Coach Richt has yet another year to prove what we already know that he’s not a great head coach.

i predicted the winner outcome and method on monday. i was exactly right. i am great.

second verse same as the first,

folks until lsu and bama are stopped from cheating they will always be at or near no 1 and no 2 end of story,.

how do they cheat you ask?…. by over signing. it is no co incidence that lsu and bama are 1 and 2. they are always the worst at over signing by a wide margin. matter of fact the sec is the worst conference at over signing by far as well. take away that advantage and the sec and bama and lsu are just part of a group of good teams.

the reason why uga got beat like a drum. the reason why osu got beat like a drum. the reason why any team that plays those two get beat like a drum is because it happens i the second half.

uga and lsu are probably fairly equal talent wise. it is when you start comparing 2nd team and 3 team and 4th team that the difference is apparent. lsu an bama has 4th teamser that are almost as good as their 1st team. no other teams in the country can match that talent across the board.. once they wear a team out they start to pull away. it happens over n over n over again,

saban and miles are both good coaches but not so great as to keep repeating their spots at no 1 and no 2 year after year. take away the advantage they use of over recruiting and those two team fall back into the pack with the rest of them.

now that usc and auburn and a few others in the sec are also over signing look for the dawgs to struggle to keep up unless st richt follows suit. this year for the dawgs was the exception not the rule.

dont believe me? think i am blowing smoke? read this article and say otherwise.

http://oversigning.com/testing/?s=saban+miles

hey mark why not say what lsu and bama are about. they are not the top 2 teams in the country. they are the top two cheaters in the ncaa and nothing more.

great teams are great because they are great. not great because they cheat to get there.

all smoke and mirrors folks. all smoke and mirrors.

The Dawgs won the Eastern Division. No complaining by gators will change that. The fact is LSU and Alabama are head and shoulders above everyone in the nation, and they will meet in the BCS title game.

LSU may be undefeated but their not the best team. Alabama is and they better hope they dont have to play them again. Im sure Les Miles will lobby to play another team than Bama.
To say LSU is great…….. is totally insane. Bad as Georgia was, LSU had no 1st. down and 7 total yards in the 1st half. Thats domination from a so called weak SEC East team.
LSU needed those turnovers to win and get momentum. No great team gets down by 14 pts because they dominate from start to finish. Please dont start to compare LSU to the Oklahoma, Nebraska, USC’s of the world.
Heck youre not even as good as the Auburn team was last year. LSU cannot win a game without getting turnovers which to me means theyve just been lucky. Besides LSU wasnt that good in the 2nd half, Georgia just made them look good and assisted with points.
Georgia gave up mentally when they got down 21-10 with those turnovers. No one can win when you spot a team 21 pts, miss a FG, drop 2 TD’s and have a sorry special teams.
This was the 1st time i have actually saw the entire Georgia team quit during a game in the 3rd quarter.
LSU fans know it, and i’ll bet you that during half time they were as upset with their team as we was with Georgia.
LSU was outplayed but not outscored. We stepped on our own toes but you get the credit.

Your boys were EMOTIONALLY spent. They were too jacked in the 1st half and came out flat in the second half. Boykin is a baller but he got trucked not once but twice for scores. It was Georgia’s first time on a big stage so the young guys were tight. Mitchell won’t drop balls like that again, Ogletree won’t get blocked like that next time. You have a good team they just have to learn how to play in the spotlight. Fla, USC and Tenn will sick for the next 2-3 so feast on the East next year and let’s do this again. BUT, you got to develop depth if you’re going to get close to us and Bama.

4) Get a running game – what a mess for the last two years, hopefully it doesn’t continue down this road in 2012
5) Win the big games early in the year – watching the Dawgs is like watching Tom Glavine pitch the first two to three innings of a game, it’s a crapshoot, after the third he controlled the game, but prior to you never knew what you would get.

I can’t believe I lowered myself and read 5 pages of this drivel. Let me start with this: I was in the Dome tonight and 99% of you losers weren’t. That means you aren’t true Georgia supporters or you are trolls from other programs that just want to snipe at a school that out-performed yours this year. First, for the Florida and Tech fans there is really nothing to say. You’ve had your glory days in the past and this wasn’t yours. Please go crawl back under the rock from which you emerged this morning (for you Techies, your Mothers basement). The fact that you rain on someone else’s success only makes you look like a bigger loser than you actually are. Second, for the LSU fans gloating on this website: congratulations, you have a tremendous team. Please kick Alabama’s or Oklahoma State’s ass in the National Championship game. I had a great time in the Dome conversing with your fans and you deserve all that comes to you. Finally, for the UGA fans that are bitching: get a life. Last year we were 6-7. This year we are 10-3 going into the bowl game. Get a life. We played everyone on our schedule. Who knew that Florida, Tennessee and Tech would have programs that we would be embarrassed to watch this year? Ignore the fans of these programs who are trying to overcome their own insecurities by degrading UGA (seriously, look forward five years and where do you see Florida and Tech? I agree, it doesn’t look good). Anyway, Georgia stunk it up in the second half tonight. The receivers sucked. Murray never seems to play well against a good opponent and Georgia seemingly always needs better offensive linemen. Bottom line is that is sure is better than a year ago. And for you delusional Georgia fans, it’s been 31 years since UGA won a national championship. Be happy with what you’ve got. Strive for better in the future but you are a moron if you think that a national championship is your birthright like so many of you insinuate. Get real.

Look’s like we will be playing Nebraska in the Outback Bowl in Tampa.
I predict that we will have one coaching change and I hope one coordinator, retained but demoted. It will be very interesting to see if McGarity forces Richt to tweak his coaching staff in order to make it better.I think Richt and Grantham both get extension’s with pay increases.
Our defense was great tonight , when you hold the best team in the nation to 12 yards in the first half and no first down’s. Three turnover’s by Murray killed us and even though Murray show’s moments of a great Quarterback has proven that when he is pressured that eventually he will get impatient and make game changing mistakes. I’m not saying that he won’t be our best Quarterback next year but if he show’s that he hasn’t learned anything next year I hope that CMR will give another Quarterback at least a chance. Murray has got to prove he can play under pressure.

An amazing game for sure! I’ve never seen such a meltdown! It just goes to show you that Murphy’s law was ever more present with the DAWGS! There is too much blame to go around and I know the DAWGS feel bad enough without piling on more!

What a hard-fought year!! So much credit goes to the coaches and the players!! They stayed dedicated all year long to get to this game! Remember, it’s better to have played the game and lost than to have NOT played the game at all! Remember that Naysayers as you all crawl back into your holes. The DAWGS are still building and is loaded with young players who are growing up with every game! In many ways, it was lack of experience that lost the game but BOY, what a first half!!! How many times in the whole history of LSU football have they failed to even get a first down in the first half of a ballgame??? I mean, they were soundly WHOOPED!! I think, unfortunately, they whooping they got also whooped the whooper who didn’t have enough fuel in the tank for the second half as LSU’s offensive line began to dominate! Clearly, the superior team did win and we should congratulate them! I do believe, however, the Alabama will get’em in the championship game!

As for the DAWGS, keep building and work hard during the off-season! You’re definitely not far away and will do things next time in a better way, all four quarters. You had plenty of beef up front but as we all know, not enough in the backfield. Save for a few misreads in catching and passing routes, the game could have been a lot closer. The DAWGS also lost the turnover margin which was huge!

It may be hard to see but a lot of positives came out of this game and can be of much guidance for the future!! A good season, DAWGS, and I’m proud of you and can’t wait for the bowl game to give you a final cap on your accomplishments!! It will be a good way to feel great right on thru Spring practice which, by the way, isn’t that far away either! Hold your heads up HIGH and GO DAWGS!!!!

To all you trash talking Georgie fans, you boys were right. Your team is good enough to play in the national championship this year. Aaron Murray is the X factor. Your receivers are play makers. Your D line is impenetrable. Your secondary forces turnovers. Your special teams is the real deal. And no one can stop your running game. The Dawgs have the most underrated team in the nation, and they can play with anyone on any field any time.

And then… you were taught a lesson in football. Our D line, which averages 6′3″ 260 rocked your touted 6′ 7″ 280lb (avg) wall. Our LBs and our secondary forced turnovers and properly and regularly introduced Murray to the turf. I think Mason completed more passes in that last drive than the little wus boy Murray did all game. Make up all the excuses that you want to about butter fingers and woulda shoulda coulda caught passes, but I refuse to believe that all Georgie receivers were suffering from the same ailment. Receivers drop passes for a variety of reasons, but when it is endemic, you have to credit the coverage and what is happening down field on every pass play or you have to blame the QB. Since I know you boys are absolutely awestruck by Murray let’s just credit LSU. LSU covers who they need to cover when they need to cover them, and they make receivers pay on every snap. If your eyes are not on the ball because they are on a defender, you’re not going to catch anything.

Your running game is almost as much of a joke as your passing game is. Crowell needs to switch to amphetamines to get that run started. A little tape shows all anyone with a decent line needs to know. And we have an exceptional line. So just a word of advice, next time you want to brag about a defense or compare stats, make sure it is as good as the one who shut you down last night and made you look like a high school team.

Speaking of high school, if you want to test your abilities adequately on the field, don’t schedule high school teams all year and then expect to play with the big boys. Your team sucks, it always did, and everyone else in the nation knew it. Now you do too. The only team in Georgie that can say they haven’t had their asses handed to them every time they were in the Dome this year will be the Falcons, and that is sad.

So now that you boys know what real football is all about, look at it this way. Today is your first day of enlightenment. A new pathway has been set before you that offers freedom and awareness despite the pain, hardship, and realization that is still before you. This morning is analogous to that morning after your visit to Jo Bob’s Watering Hole when you had a little too much JB, took that little hottie home, but woke up next to yer first cousin. Here’s the complete unabridged no BS reality… you made a mistake, all the other Georgie boys made the same one you did, you were told it was going to happen but thought you knew better, and there’s nothing, absolutely nothing you can do to take it back or make it go away. So embrace it, accept it, and just marry that bitch!

GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SICK EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWOOF AWOOF AWOOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, that’s the only thing you taught the nation last night… how stupid that sounds.

For the very very few decent Georgia fans out there, I hate that it ended for you that badly. Good luck with your bowl game. I’m sure you’ll do fine.

Now bring on the crystal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miles is another coach that defies the laws of a media logic on how a football coach is suppose to look or act.

He knew that he was going to win, he was not impressed with Georgia, he, like so many good coaches sees through the myth and realizes what Georgia has really done is buy off the local press who help them crusade to keep status quo. They don’t want to fire Richt, they have been looking for reasons to keep him, well now you are back to square one.

Maybe next year UGA will hire a special teams coach (I’m saying for the 100th time). A special teams coach would have focused on the other teams special team strengths (although #7 for LSU shouldhave been a no brainer) and comes up with a scheme to avoid those strengths. UGA should have leaned from the last time we played LSU that you don’t kick to one of the best return men in the nation — idiotic. Also, the officiating sucked — the lineman looked at #7 funny because he knew he released the ball before crossing the end zone line but didn’t do anything about it and there were two separate clips on that return. Anyway, the first half showed the Dogs can play with anyone and should create good momentum goinginto next year. I hope we don’t lose a bunch of juniors to the draft — this group can definitely win a SEC Championship. Go Dawgs!

LSU fan speaking here. I have read yall’s posts and have to tell ‘ya, that was one whale of a first half by UGA. You guys have to be proud of how your coaches and players performed. UGA had LSU stymied on offense and you had some dropped passes. Your fans were awesome (the BCS chanting was effective – your boys were pumped) and the on-side kick was brilliant. All that being said, you couldn’t overcome LSU’s depth. IMO that is what separates them from the pack.

LSU has an opportunity to do something and become something no other Tiger team has. But I think Richt is a good coach and you all have nothing to hang your head about from this game!

You can’t win with tiny RB attempting to block a blitzing safety. Watching Crowell in pass protection was painful. Why didn,t Bobo use Figgins and White and if no blitz, slip them out to catch a pass.
Hell, they could run the ball too…at least they have the size be effective. I hope I never see Ga relying on a middle school size RB ever again. LSU saw they could not block, so Murray got blitzed to death the whole 2rd half….game over.

Georgia showed in the first half that they have a lot of talent, but then showed that they are physically and mentally soft. After the Mathieu return made it 10-7, Georgia basically quit. Grantham must have sensed it because the sideline reporter on the telecast was talking about him screaming at the defense when they went down 14-10; at that point the defense had only given up a short field touchdown but Grantham must have been able to tell that they were quitting. The offensive line gave Murray plenty of time early but in the second half they couldn’t even slow down the LSU pass rush. The Georgia defensive line was stuffing the run in the first half but got mauled in the second half. LSU didn’t even have to throw the ball, they ran it down Georgia’s throat in the second half. Boykin is afraid to tackle anybody. Rambo stood like a statue as Blue ran right by him on the long TD run. He wanted no part of Blue. I’d love to hear him explain to Grantham what he was thinking when they watch the film. And what is there to say about Crowell, who limped off after every play, picked up a personal foul penalty and then turned his back and walked away when Richt was trying to talk to him after the penalty? He looks to be a cancer in the mold of King and Ealey. I’d like to see Richt suspend him for the bowl game to send the message that he will have to either get his head right and show some work ethic or go somewhere else.

Things we need for 2012 season
RUNNING BACKS
DEFENSIVE STARTERS PLAYING ON SPECIAL TEAMS.
LOSE THE DRAW PLAY FROM THE PLAYBOOK
KICKERS
BEAT S. CAROLINA

Why do you go away from an offensive gameplan that worked in the 1st quarter to protect a 10 point lead? LSU played the same defensive scheme, after Mitchell dropped the TD pass we never threw downfield again untill the 4th quarter for an interception.
!st quarter 5 recievers in the game for an opportunity of 21 points, after the dropped pass, 2 reciever sets with 3 and outs and punts and turnovers.
WHY?? To protect a 10 point lead which we all knew would not stand.

Hope we get this kid at running back from N.C. {Marshall} The ones we have {Crowell and Thomas} are shaping up to be another pair like Ealey and King.

Never have I seen a player for any team at any level that has been given more chances than Crowell. The 15 yard penalty he got in the 4th was inexcusable, after a full season he can’t pass block, can’t remember where to line up, maybe our famous saying of {next season} he’ll mature into a grown-up.

Proud our Dawgs got to this game and won 10 games this season, lots of positives to look forward to, our 36 yards of offense for 2 quarters was more than LSU’s 12 yards for 2 quarters.
Our defense looks like world beaters again next season, with some great talent and even more with the addition of Ray Drew and Sterling Bailey,

Officiating was a joke during the game, the punt return for a td was a close call crossing the endzone line, 3 block in the backs on the same play went unnoticed.
LSU constantly holding our recievers, Chris Connley was held on every play he was involved in. John Chavis knows the percentages on holding recievers, It gets called 1 out of every 25 pass plays, so hold on every play and more than likely your not going to get flagged but twice against a pass happy team. A holding call is alot eaiser to overcome than a TD.

Good luck to LSU against Ok. St. Hopefully, Love to see the Bammers cry and whine about that.

Certainly not the showing I was hoping for, well half of it anyway. I am not surprised the Techies and few Gator fans are hanging around the blogs like flies to scyhit hoping to make UGA fans feel bad. You don’t understand that you just aren’t permitted that power.

Congrats to LSU on a solid win, the best team in the country. They had no doubt they were going to win and we had no doubt in the (second half) we were going to lose.

Richt seems to be the only coach in the country that can coach a team down in the halftime locker room. What is going on with the uber conservative 3rd quarter playcalling? Completely deflating and transparent

It’s not Murray. Murray was hitting them in the numbers. The 1st half play calling was brilliant and the defense was sharp. That all ended at the 2nd half kick off almost on que. I am disappointed we had no fight in the 2nd half but, I ain’t taking nothing away from these Dawgs. Tough luck guys. Regroup for the bowl game and go get’em next year

It must be a great feeling for LSU to have a team so demoralized, so beatdown, that they see it in their eyes. Also just a observation and I am sure many other saw. Our receivers route running is also pathetic. YAC ( yards after catch ) non existent. Receivers….” sell ” your routes, cut hard and firm, and think about running with the ball after you catch. Don’t just turn around and catch andf then get pummeled by the athletic/very stong muscular DB’s.

The game showed us that we need to address two critical areas:

First we need running backs you can’t win relying only on the passing game, having said that, the passing game was the only viable option we had to stay with LSU. The receivers let us down by dropping so many catchable balls. Next recruiting period we need to focus on gettinng quality SEC backs, backs that can take a licking and keep on ticking.

Second our backups need to be as close to the same quality as the starters. LSU basically just wore us down, their depth was far supior ours. Look at the defense how can we expect our defense to play all game without some talented backups. LSU is 4 deep at most positions. We are only deep at quarterback.

Finally while Bobo may not be the best OC in the game you can’t lay this loss at his feet. If we had executed we stood a good chance of pulling this win off.

Coaches go get us backs and some quality backups and we’ll be in the mix next year.

uga fans are a pathetic batch fair weather bandwaggoners.

The contrast of the comments made in the bravado of the pre-season, then the despair and “fire cmr” mantra after SC, and then the gathering storm of faux-bravado returning after you played 9 straight teams that either were just plain bad or were in decline and then the giddiness when you you all were duped into thinking you were really good was amazing. Ten Straight wins!!!!

Against who? uga had the easiest schedule I have ever seen an SEC team get. EVER. All the perenially good teams on your schedule were magically down and struggling mightily.

There was a good reason you won ten straight after SC. You should have. But the mistake you doggies made was misinterpreting the results. Especially after Auburn. (which if you were smart enough to look closely you would have realized that Auburn would have lost to UF if it had not been for UF imploding on 5 dropped punts and UF in general was just terrible this year) And speaking of UF you beat them by 4 and should have beat them by 50.

And the polls did uga NO service by letting it creep up that far in light of their schedule.

Just so much to say and so little time.

Who ya gonna FIRE now, uga fans????? I hear ron zook is looking for a job, so you have a ready replacement after the fallout.

If “ifs” and “buts” were candy and nuts…we’d all have a Merry Christmas.

Sure Georgia should have been leading at the half 21-0. We still lose the game 35-21. Potential touchdowns don’t count. Lousy officiating that goes unchecked doesn’t count. What counts is what the scoreboard says when the last second rolls off the clock. It is at that moment you’re either a true Bulldog or a fair weather fan. You either still love your “boys,” support your team, rejoice in the in-game victories and weep over turnovers and miscues or you start pontificating and running your mouth off about who is at fault, who sucks and who should be fired.

I don’t give a crap if the Walmart Bulldogs want to start jumping off and on bandwagons. I love these boys. They played their hearts out. They turned what could have been an abysmal season into a really decent year. So jaw all you want. Lead the battle cry to fire Bobo or Mark Richt. I’ve got your back boys because I’ve loved you and supported you through thick or thin for 52 years.

Our starting defense is awesome. Need to find 11 guys to back ‘em up.

The game turned when the Dawgs allowed the field position to flip.

Gonna give Crowell a pass in this game. Obviously, he was not physically ready to go. I am concerned greatly about his decision making though. Lot of growing up to do. I hope he uses the off season wisely and cleans out his ears. Marshall and Gurley, we’re keeping your seats warm. When will Carlton Thomas’ eligibility finally run out?

As good as Murray was in the first half, he was that bad in the second half. One play that stood out to me was an incomplete dump pass to Crowell with Orson wide open 10 yards behind him.

What happened to Boykin/Smith on offense?

Mason and Malcome looked good against their third team defense.

Mark – I agree. This is a great college football team, in every phase of the game. I have watched college football for 63 years and, right now, I would rate LSU the 3rd best college football team of all time. The top would be the 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers, whose margin of victory is unsurpassed, climaxed by a crushing of Florida in the national championship game by 62-24. Second, in my opinion, would be the 1971 Nebraska team of Johnny Rodgers, etal, and that game for the ages where No. 1 Nebraska beat No. 2 Oklahoma 35-31, when both teams were nearly on the level of the NFL. However, having said that, if LSU wins the national championship game by more than 38 points, then I would have to rank them No.1 of all time.

That’s the team I want to see…..in the 1st quarter:

We played lights out on D
Our playcalling was aggressive, innovative, and not predictable
Murray was pinpoint with his passes (we dropped a few, but I’ll forgive that)
We actually called two trick plays (onsides kick, flea flicker)

That is the team and coaching I’ve been looking for and expect

Then, the team I’m used to seeing since 06 showed up:
Our playcalling went predictable and away from what was working
Our D backs didn’t want any part of tackling
We had no adjustments
We had no leadership, no playmakers, no response

I can handle a loss with the team that played in the 1st Quarter.
We won 10 wins, but we will go to another meaningless bowl game in FL
We will yet again look to recruiting to build our hopes
We will yet again not be in the NC hunt

I’m ready for a change of regime. We are in GA, a top 3 state for football. We have the support, $$, tradition.

That 1st half was inspiring. UGA was dominate. Sad that so many passes were dropped, mistakes made and LSU penalties missed, but play calling and effort was outstanding. What made me want to vomit was the complete lack of heart from the UGA DB’s especially # 2 ? in that game. Dion Sanders was given a pass by many people for his lack of wanting to tackle because he was such a great cover and return man. None of that applies to these DB’s. #2 and the other corner to a lessor extent should be embarrassed. They tackling effort was the worst I have ever witnessed at any level in football. Dropping a ball or committing an error is usually because of a lack of focus. What those DB”s did or more appropriately “did not do” is worthy of being called cowardice.

The great Koolaid factory continues to roll on. If the Taliban had the optimism of Dawg fans, they would be in the White House.

The SEC West is best, the East best teams couldn’t beat the ACC ’s best teams. If Richt is shown the door, who better would replace him . Two former SEC coaches are now in great locations to sell their products at USC and OSU, they are getting super h.s. recruits, and exceptional J.C. players. It’s not hard to sell L.A. to gullible h.s. kids, and the gentleman at OSU is selling a national championship….Stay tuned it should be interesting.

Unique Trait of Being a UGA Fan:

What you will always hear after a loss: Excuses.

What you will never hear after a loss: “The better team won.”

I told you dawg fans…….you had no clue what was coming your way! Did i not say LSU would POUND you? Only BAMA can BEAT them , and BEAT them they WILL! You see dawg fans, you all don’t have a power runner ( we have 3 ) that pounds and pounds the d line until it cannot play.

I will say though I was impressed with the 1st half…….GA could’ve been up 28 -0 and I think you all would’ve won! Go recruit several power runners, then you can compete.

By the way, didn’t I say Crowell would be on the sidelines most of the game? Too bad he was lame before the game, I think he would’ve helped Ga some, but not enough to win.

I agree with the assessment Georgia gave LSU all they could handle in the first half, but the game is 60 minutes, not 30. The Dawgs have had a great regular season and will hopefully end it with a bowl victory. So looking forward to next year when all the Georgia freshman to juniors can take the helm and move mountains to get back to the SEC championship game in 2012. Problem is the likelihood they will have to face the same LSU tigers. Even though the LSU 2011 class will be graduating 25 off the team, the tigers are deep and will not miss a beat next year. Actually, it may be hard to imagine this, but they will more than likely be even better!
