Even after another Dome drubbing, UGA’s progress is clear

First, it is a positive sign of things to come in the future and if Crowell stays or goes the difference is in the depth and the tailback position. See you Tigers in a year for the real rematch!

LSU is a great team. Should have been 20-7 at half. Too many dropped passes, special teams breakdowns, no running game and them having a 19 yard field first two possessions of second half killed us. Dawgs couldn’t afford to make it easy for them, but we did. Hopefully, Dawgs will pick up some big time recruits that want playing time right away. This is a young team, and it will continue to improve. Always proud to be a Georgia Bulldog.

Good article, Mark. LSU is not just physically gifted, but incredibly deep at most every position as well. The Dawgs looked spent in the 2nd half. Of course, the LSU offense having a short field on two straight drives didn’t help. Give Richt and staff another good recruiting class and the future does indeed look bright for UGA.

Mark,

You hit it on the head. Georgia has a lot to be proud of; not just for the regular season, but for their efforts against LSU. LSU has 8 DL’s, 4 RB’s, and a slew of DB’s that can come in at any time. When you have virtually no running game; in part due to LSU (Give them credit), but in part to the fact that you have no one on your roster capable of carrying the load, it is going to be a tough road to hoe.

Todd Grantham and his defense couldn’t have done a better job in the first half. Many of Georgia’s wounds early were self inflicted.

The only thing I don’t get is why we didn’t “COFFIN CORNER” punts or punt out of bounds, even deep in our own territory. You had to say our defense will carry us, but I am not going to let Tyrann Mathieu beat me. We didn’t and he did.

GREAT SEASON FOR THE DAWGS! We need to recruit depth on the OL, DL, DB’s, and we need at least three (3) quality running backs.

Further, when bowl season is over, I don’t want to hear Crowell’s name at all during the off season. If you do, it will be for the wrong reasons. There needs to be a players only meeting and a sort of intervention with Crowell to find out how dedicated he is to the off season program and if he really wants to be great and help this team. Richt cannot afford another stable of running backs that are nothing but trouble. And remember, this season started off by getting rid of our two best backs.

Isiah Crowell nees to grow up. When he committed the personal foul and Richt started dressing him down, he turned his back on Richt. You did not see Crowell again after that. I was urging Richt to put a foot on his backside on national tv and then dress him down in his face when he turned around. I wish Ealy and King had been there with their heads screwed on for more depth. Crowell may be closer than we think to returning to Columbus to join the likes of Jasper Sanks and there is no future in that. UGA is better but we gotta have a big bruising back or two next year. I hope it is Crowell, but I am not confident. How many times was Hershel disiplined?

Already hitting the spiked eggnog Mark? Dawgs WILL NEVER be more than a second tier SEC team with Saint Mark and Buffoon Bobo anywhere in the vicinity. I had seen too many variations of this stale stage play already. The defense will salvage several wins per season. Just enough to keep the head coach in the annual multi millionaire club. Aaron Murray will compile astounding numbers against lesser foes then continue to make fatal giveaways against quality squads. Remember that QB miscues were directly responsible for South Carolina defeat. You are wrong here Mark. Dawgs may rack up 10 wins under Saint Mark but the level of LUS, Alabama and even Oregon will be denied the Dawg Nation. Best to cut losses in order to get true motivator at helm. If Dawgs quit on Saban the way they quit on Saint Mark they would have walked home. Justifiably so! Merry Christmas!

Guys, in the second half you all were spent emotionally. You had invested a ton of emotional energy in the first half. You held a team to 1 yard in the 2nd qtr. Who does that?? You always here coaches say you have to keep your emotions in check and that is the result of not doing that. Think about it, Boykin is a beast. But he got trucked by a freshman back in the open field. He also tried to arm tackle Hilliard on another TD run. He was spent. Mitchell dropped a pass, King missed one, FG kicker missed a relative chip shot etc. You have a super young team and the stage was big and the lights were bright. You’ll be back though. Your program needs some seasoning. The staff has to get some “football” players. UGA should not be trotting out 5′7″ RBs. I for one am not gonna crap on your program cause I saw the first half. I don’t know what GT and Fla are doing on here talking noise for. GT you got problems of your own and Fla needs to concentrate on stopping the mass defection going on down there in the swamp. Your down to about15 scholarship kids. Dawg Nation see you in the Dome next year.

You can’t give up on IC just yet. He’s apparently injury prone and unfortunately immature. He shows he can be a back that has real potential if he can stay healthy and out of trouble. If not he won’t last here and one of the other SEC schools will snatch him up where he’ll probably become an all american. Thats GA’s (bad) luck w/its RB’s. GA will no doubt go after another RB. marshall is only 185 lbs. LSU and AL both know to compete at RB in the SEC you need bruisers to carry the ball. If he’s not 225 lbs he won’t last. Richt still has the FSU mind set that little speedsters are worth signing. They might be in another offense that features the spread or options but not pro style offense like Ga’s. You need big dudes if you want to carry it up the middle. IC wasn’t there yet but he may be after a season or 2 of gym work. Problem is will he last that long at GA. You cannot hold the injuries against him but his behavior and attitude may be his undoing at GA. Then what? Another young frosh comes in all hyped up but not ready for the SEC unless he’s a HW. Richt needs to be more selective and put some thought into what type of RB is needed to fit his offensive scheme. Some of the blame w/GA’s woes at RB rests purely w/CMR. Little guys won’t win you championships.

MB, I agree that an improvement was made this year by the program and the coaching staff. Richt and Bobo had these boys more prepared that LSU and that was something we haven’t seen in a while. Having said that, CMR needs to evaluate the 3 main differences between UGA and teams like BSU, USC, Alabama and LSU.

1. No athletes on the offensive line. Our obese OL is unable to compete with athletic defensive lines as they are too fat to get off the ball quickly in the run game or move their feet to protect in the passing game. Bigger is not better, especially if Bobo wants to run the spread. Fitter is better.

2. Need to recruit for a power running game. I do not agree that UGA has good depth at RB. LSU has 4 TB’s that can break tackles and move the pile. Alabama and USC play the same game. UGA has only Samuel and maybe Malcome to do this. Florida (for maybe 2 quarters) was the only game we were able to run the ball effectively when we needed to control it against a good defense trying to stop the run. This is a recruiting issue. CMR and Tony Ball continue to recruit skinny kids from tiny schools like Crowell from Carver and Ealey from ECI that are used to being able to run away from smaller, slower players and were never challenged before they arrived in the SEC and now are struggling with that. Crowell, Thomas, Harton and the like can’t get the tough yards when the defense is looking for it. I would much rather recruit big kids like Samuel or people that come out of tough 5A or 4A regions like Malcome who we know are used to taking a hit and earning their yardage.

3. Special teams. Tough to fault the coaches for Blair Walsh becoming the Steve Sax of kickers this year, but the punting game on both sides of the ball was a disaster in the big games for UGA. Why kick to Matthieu? Kick it out bounds and play defense. Be prepared to block a kick and stop a fake attempt once in a while. I think teams were successful 100% of the time this year against UGA on fake punts. The onside kick was well conceived, but overall CMR needs to make special teams more special.

Another good recruiting year and some better fitness overall and the Dawgs can continue to compete.

You can thank Todd Grantham for the Dogs turnaround. Without him they would have lost 3 or 4 more games. He’s brought an edge to the defense that they haven’t had in the past.

If Mark keeps Bobo he will eventually be fired as head coach. As a former offensive coordinator, he could hire much better than the predictable Bobo.

As someone else has said, can we please stop hearing about how good Murray is. He is an average QB at best. The Dogs have better QBs on the bench. Mark needs to play the best QB he has next year and it is not Murray. Had it not been for Bobo’s bad play calling and Murray’s bad QB play we would have at least had a chance of wining the game last night and LSU would not scored any
where near 42 points.

My problem with Crowell is not his injuries, and not that he’s a freshman. When Richt was rightfully dressing him down for his personal foul penalty, he turned his back on him. Unacceptable. Hoping the recruiting can get back on the right track. Need some big backs, and some more athletes.

We all know your feelings about Bobo, but CMR is still the de-facto OC. Bobo is just a figure head with a lower than average salary. He is another hold card for CMR to play when the heat is on . He will give him the Willie Martinez treatment when it will save his job,and only then. So the 10 win season means another 3 or 4 years of the same inconsistent play calling the dawgs have now.

Mark….

“And with Florida and Tennessee in clear retreat, Vanderbilt might be tabbed third behind South Carolina.”

CLEAR RETREAT……are you kidding me.

Florida dominated Vandy this year. Played SC very tough up there. Lost to Georgia by 4 points with a one-legged QB. Held FSU to under 100 yards of total offense. Florida lost to LSU (down there and with freshman QBs playing the entire game) 41-11. Georgia lost to LSU in the SEC title game….with everyone healthy except cry baby Crowell……42-10. Georgia had the 5th best defense in the country with a strong offense……..Florida had the 10th best defense in the country (mostly feshmen and sophs) with a horrible offense. And have you checked the commits to Florida so far this year….almost all of them addressing the offensive issues at TE, RB, OL, and WR….with many more to come.

Yep…..all that says Florida is far inferior to Georgia and in serious decline in comparison. Yep….and the moon is changing into the sun overnight.

And the Vols get Hunter back next year at WR to go with Rogers…..and Bray healthy as well. And they are young just like the Gators. And they beat Vandy too.

Yes, Georgia made great progress this year….but has serious issues at RB to clear up….as does Florida at QB. But I would say Florida currently has better prospects at QB (Brissett and Driskell) than Georgia does at RB (the “thug is all about me”, Crowell, who gets hurt every two seconds, and absolutely no one else)….and even if Marshall commits to the Dawgs. And I think Davis and Jones are going to be a terrific dynamic duo for the Gators at RB, and Gillessie, Brown, and Burton are returning as well. All Florida needs is for one more WR to step up (and Debose started to do that towards the end of the season) to join Jordan Reed, add some OL depth to the OL, and get a blocking TE (Colin Thompson is already committed)….and the Gators make up that 4 point deficit to Georgia this year…

Clearly in decline…….what a completely biased and uninformed comment, Bradley. Florida has tons of talent on offense….and just needs 3 or 4 more pieces in the offense to be right back where they were. Maybe next year…..for sure in 2013.

Hard to say we need a new OC. We can play the if game really. If we had a elite back, if King makes the tough catch on the first possession, if Mitchell makes the TD catch. If Figgins didnt drop a pass. So many missed opportunities and it is easy to make Bobo the punching bag. I will defintely say again coming out of halftime why start the drive with two runs then put yourself in 3rd and 10? That is not just a Bobo issue if you want to point fingers. Richt certainly new what plays where going to be ran to open that drive. It was just a tough second half to watch all the way around.

Give LSU credit , This is one of the best team I have seen in the last 10 years. Georgia played a very physical game and because of that got tired . After reviewing all the stats. I’m sure we can come up with WHY DIDN’T LSU GET TIRED. Get that answer and make the changes to our program so we can play for 60 minutes against the best and we will win championships.

The question is do we need to make a change at the coaching position to make us better. The only coach that we need to change is Bryan McClendon. He must want to be the running back’s friend instead of their coach. Every running back at Georgia has been a discipline or academic problem for the last few years. CMR need’s to take that important position more serious and admit that we can do a lot better finding a mentor and coach.
Since we can’t have a coach just to coach special teams someone is going to have to either do a better job coaching special teams or Georgia is going to have to replace somebody else that is actually doing a good job with a new coach that can actually do as good of a job as the person they are replacing but is also a proven special team’s coach.
Address our problem’s on special teams and running back and Georgia will be a force in the SEC for a long time.

that’s the problem with playing a mostly cream puff schedule. A team needs to be pushed to reach it’s peak. IF you are not tested all season then when crunch time comes you are not really prepared. LSU played the best and beat them this year.

As good as LSU is I think Alabama is better and will win a rematch because Alabama has a great power running game and can take advantage of LSU’s only slight weakness which is pass coverage. If Alabama’s Quarterback can pass the ball their running game will keep LSU’s defensive back’s busy enough to exploit the only weakness I see. Good luck to both , make the SEC proud.

Here are the facts:
1. You had 10 wins against essentially very weak teams
2. You got man-handled by the good teams you played
3. You brag about your recruits but they can’t seem to win against quality opponents
4. You players are better at thUG activities (drawing personal fouls, skipping team meetings, smoking dope, etc) than they are at football basics (covering punts, tackling, catching the ball, etc)

UGA is a lot of symbolism over substance this year. 10 wins gained by a weakarse schedule, but no talent or coaching scheme to back it up.

Next year will be more of the same, which will make it fun to here all the UGA fans go back into their usual arrogant mode. Only to have no reason to be arrogant. It’s quit funny to watch. Last national championship was in 1980. Haha. Clemson and Ga Tech have even had one since then. But to hear all these UGA fans arrogance, you would think this was a team always playing for a national championship. Its only in their minds and in the papers between seasons that it exists

Depth is not made by tallent sitting on the bench. I guess we are waiting for a rainy day to play our dream team guys. What’s wrong with putting two fullbacks in the backfield to block for Murray? Did we forget big John wears #6 so he could run the ball. May two tight ends could have helped, it did for LSU. Big weapons are only effective if you use them. Running backs from Carver Columbus have burned us too long we need to look elsewhere even if it’s outside the state of GA.

that gives richt time off for guatemala or honduras

I am one of those who thinks that Mark Richt, nice guy though he may be, is in over his head against the likes of Les Miles and Nick Saban. I’ve advocated his dismissal for the past two years. And while the defense played magnificently up until the mind boggling punt return by Mathieu, I told the folks where I was watching that the game was over. Most assuredly so.

I think Mark Richt should get a bonus for the great improvement. . .but no extension. Here’s the tally: the teams that outranked us beat us (Boise St., SC and LSU). We beat the ranked teams that we outranked: Florida, Auburn and Tech. We have the same schedule next year and the non-conference opponents, save Tech, are minor leaguers. Alabama was scheduled to be played there but I read a snippet that said Missouri would replace them. But SC will be formidable with Marcus Lattimore returning at RB.

No extension. NO EXTENSION.

And please, Mark, address components of this game (LSU). Why did we kick more than once to the awesome number seven? Why? That turned the momentum for us on its head.

We’re a ways from being there: better QB play, more creative offense and we have to replaced Butler and Walsh. No easy task. Oh, we have six starters to replace too.

Georgia wasn’t getting worn down. LSU mounted zero drives in the first half. Then it was halftime. They were fresh starting the third quarter. Fact is, Georgia players are still not ready to play an entire game like their hair is on fire. Players take on the character of their coach. Miles and Saban would simply not allow their teams to play half a game as Georgia so often does. A properly coached team will be better in the second half. This one simply quit.

Pretty tough indictment of Crowell.

But there were some of us who warned Georgia fans that all was not what it seemed with Crowell.
What he has done this year is what he has did for a couple of high school years.

Gifted? Yes! In control? Far from it.

Georgia has no commitment to running the football. Bradley got this part correct; ” LSU would have had to throw the ball, which isn’t what LSU wants to do.”

Throwing the football makes excited fans; makes great highlight film.

Running the football makes championships.

Did anyone notice Crowell running a play (for a yard or two) without any limp (and without any run blocking) but then got up and limped to the sideline every time?

I’m tired of this Holy Roller Coaching. Did anyone catch the assistant coach neck hugging Crowell after his sideline personal foul?

By all means, let’s counsel and save everyone.
In fact, let’s just jettison the football program at UGA and do missionary work.
Of course there will be no money within a couple of years but maybe Richt will donate his millions.

We are all tired of waiting for next year.
If we had lost RESPECTABLLY I would not be so tough on this program but the fact is we were slaughtered on National TV ONCE AGAIN against a ranked team.

No doubt UGA improved on the defensive side of the ball with Grantham, but, taking into consideration dropped passes and the like, Bobo is still the weak link in the chain.

If Richt can’t man up and do it, then McGarity should. Georgia has too much at stake.

1. I hope we get one or two running backs to give us depth to go along with Crowell. We can’t depend on one guy. LSU showed that with a rotation of four solid backs.

2. I was encouraged by Ken Malcolme’s strong running at the end. I have to believe that he is going to finally come through for us.

3. Yes, we had an easy schedule comparitively. But, last year we had losses to Colorado, Central Florida, Florida, Auburn, and Mississippi State. We beat the latter three this year. Our program is superior to main rivals Tennessee, Florida and Auburn and probably equal to or better than South Carolina going into next year.

4. We will lose three senior offensive linemen and Boykin next year. Frankly, our O line had problems and the guys who will replace them aren’t much of a drop off and have more upside potential. We also hopefully get the young man from Jacksonville, Zeus, who could make an immediate impact.

I am ever the optimist, but we have reason to be, even after last night. We gave up ONE offensive touchdown drive against LSU. With emphasis on special teams next year, we can even that one up fast.

Preseason I said CMR had to win 10 games, beat Florida, and get into the SECCG to survive in my mind. He did that and deserves the chance to continue the progress. However, I can’t say I have much confidence he will be able to take the Dawgs to the next level. I hope he can, but as much as I was encouraged by the 1st half last night, it was completely wiped out by the second half. Its not that the Dawgs lost. I expected that. Its how they lost. LSU punched them in the mouth and they laid down. LSU would have eventually worn them down, but the Dawgs weren’t worn down for LSU’s first two TD’s of the second half. A team that couldn’t get a 1st down was suddenly running it down UGA’s throat in the FIRST FIVE MINUTES of the second half. It was mental, not physical. I hope that was a result of UGA being young and inexperienced against that kind of competition, but CMR teams have been soft for at least the last four years. I will say that if the coaching staff addresses the lack of mental toughness, this can be a stepping stone to more improvement. I just don’t know if they will. Grantham made an encouraging statement along those lines, but CMR is the head coach, so we’ll see.

Fans from many different schools tried to tell Dawg fans that your team was out of LSU’s league this year……because we saw it personally when our team’s played and got beat up by them (and Bama).

It is embarrasing to keep losing to you and maybe before 2030, we will get a coach and players that are not intimadated by you as the O”leary years.

The biggest problem in Athens with UGA football is Dr Adams peeing on himself for going 10-2 and being giddy.. THAT IS THE REAL PROBLEM, CAUSE HE’S THE REAL GUY THAT WILL/CAN FIRE RICHT. ONLY HIM. 10-2, He’s pleased.

BOBO…..

LSU “outmatched,” “outwhitted,” “outhustled,” “outplayed,” and “dominated” just about every team they played this year……including that powerhouse offense at Oregon. Even Richardson could not run against LSU’s defense…..nor could they pass the ball for more than 5 yards. Georgia did not have the talent or the depth on offense to beat a team like LSU this year. There was nothing Bobo or Richt could do to change anything……in fact, I thought they put together a great offensive and defensive game plan for LSU and had them confused and concerned in the first half. The fumble to start the second half and the punt return changed everything in LSU’s direction…….and neither Bobo or Richt has anything to do with that…….Murray fumbled…..and the LSU returner is a “Heisman” candidate playing defense and returning punts. Get real. Jump back on the bandwagon. Richt and Bobo are doing a good job.

It didn’t hurt that Bama and LSU signed about 30 trillion recruits every year for the past 4 years and dumped a bunch every year to the South Alabamas, North Alabamas, La-Monroes…etc, etc, etc…..but they will not be able to do that any more……and Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee never did it. This is one of the things that made Meyer so angry when he was at Florida…..that LSU and Bama could do that in recruiting and the SEC office let them do it…..until this year. I think that depth of talent at Bama and LSU will start to even out with the other teams in the near future and the conference will become more balanced than it is right now.

Get a haircut or hit the road!!! Richt and the AD who schedule these pansies are doing so for one reason-a winning record and bowl appearance/job security.

I truely believe that we can contend for SEC C’ship and Natl’Cship. We threw everything in the 1st qtr, including the kitchen sink. The problem was we stop calling plays to keep LSU defense off guard. I saw it coming in the second qtr. Running lilman Thomas up the middle….. really! They should have keep passing, going to the spread quick slants, Ga came to play but the calling suck from the second qtr on. Ken Malcome should have been inserted earlier, hopefully the coaches will try him out as a first teamer next spring. We will be great next year. Only loosing 3 OL and 1 DL and 1 CB.

Here’s another Cam Newton rookie record broken. Guess all the UGA retards can suck it.

Cam Newton insists his success isn’t coming easily. All he’s doing is whatever he can to help the Carolina Panthers win.

On Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that was just about everything.
The rookie ran for three more touchdowns to set the NFL single-season record for TDs rushing by a quarterback, pacing a 38-19 rout of the struggling Buccaneers with a dominating performance that revealed something else he’s capable of doing: catching passes.

The only thing that sort of bothered me about the game is the fact that UGA seemed to mail it in after LSU got up 21-10. The offense got increasingly predictable and the defense completely lost its fire. Rather than attacking, they were back pedalling. Dont tell me they were tired either. Ive never seen a defense get worn out by forcing 3 and outs and giving up only one first down to that point.

The big plays by Mathieu knocked the wind out of the UGA players. It had to be frustrating that they basically outplayed LSU and found themselves in a 21-10 hole. UGA had their chance as Mark said. LSU is lucky they weren’t down 3 score instead of 3 pts. If that were the case, this would have been a far better game deep into the 4th with LSU pulling it out in the end.

JB, noone can sign more than 28 per SEC rules. I am pretty certain LSU didn’t sign over 25 last February. The Tigers can only sign 23 in the next class because of NCAA probation.

It just seems Richt doesn’t make any needed changes unless he is forced to (ala Willie Martinez).

DawgNation,

I come to you, in this moment of sadness, with a heavy heart.
Last night, a Honey Badger got loose in Mama’s trailer. Our half-bulldog/half-chihuahua (Uga VIII’s little white-trash cousin) was badly injured.

The Honey Badger wreaked havoc on Mama’s genuine pleather sofa as he mauled Uga VIII’s little white-trash cousin.

Then, as the badger ran from the trailer, he tossed our half-bulldog/half-chihuahua to the side… right before he crossed the threshold of the door.

Upon further review, Uga VIII’s little white-trash cousin was taken to the vet because that @ss-whoopin was awful.

Go Dawgs!

The soft schedule, quality athletes, and denfensive coaching carried the Bulldogs. The special team, lack of discipline, poor play calling and choking by Murray were the downfall. Why do you start off the second half with two running plays up the middle. Were we going to try to hold on to a three point lead… No guts no glory for Georgia. Why do we out punt our coverage to the badger. Is it pad the stats of the punter. With no rush the boise state punter would take several extra steps and punt it at an angle. Mark Richt should be fired for stupidity for having up punt to him. We need a real special teams coach. Kudos to the defense for keeping us in the game for a while. We need a killer instinct coach, not a coach who plays not to lose.

Dawg48, thanks for the article.

The SEC actually put the rule in place 2 years and then the NCAA adopted it:

http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/06/sec_adopts_roster_management_r.html

The WSJ article cited Alabama for signing and average of 27 over 5 years and LSU 25.2 over the same period. That doesn’t seem like a big advantage to me.

Of course the Texas AD thinks it was but that’s his problem if the Longhorns only signed and average of 22.4 over the same period when you can sign 25.

It’s just a shame that Crowell hasn’t turned out as planned for the super back they expected. It’s not because of his obvious talent, it’s much more than that and something that may not be able to be fixed. He seems to be his worst enemy and now that everyone else is recognizing it, it just makes the matter worse! Strip him of the # 1 (which he clearly isn’t), bring on a top notch running back (several, please) and let him compete if he has the stuff to compete with. The winners in this league are LSU and Alabama, both sport big and strong running backs. UGA needs the same, men not boys and particularly cry babies and whiners! CMR knows full and well what he needs and I believe he will go get it too! He will only go so far with Crowell as witness what happened to King and Ealey. And, I believe he’s just about had enough of Sir Crowell!! Malcolm didn’t look too bad in the game. He might just be a big help next year! Let him play in the bowl game and leave Crowell on the bench or better still back in Columbus, Ga. GO DAWGS!!!!

Everyone seems to be so hard on Crowell the freshman sensation, who you all were so excited about on signing day. He is a freshman and may be a bit immature. Not all fresmen coming in behave the same way or show the desired level of maturity, could it be that Richt handed him the starting job without him earning it, which may have spurred whatever problem that yu’all now seem to be talking about.
With some of the things some of you are posting, little wonder some of these guys are willing to go out of state and play with some of our competitors rather than signing with Georgia.

We keep overlooking one very big point. EVERY athlete in Louisiana wants to play for LSU. Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and other states do NOT raid Louisiana of it’s best talent. Back in Georgia, schools like Auburn, Florida, Tennessee and South Carolina regularly get a big share of our top talent. I am a life long Georgia fan who recently moved to Louisiana and can see the difference in culture. In Alabama, Bama gets most of the top talent and Auburn gets not as much, but regularly comes across to get plenty Georgia boys. Tennessee used to get a big chunk, but lately not as many. Dooley may change that. Spurrier gets a share. Florida gets a lot of good ones. If we could somehow get 90 – 95% of all the best Georgia talent, we could have three deep fresh legs and 4 running backs that have each scored at leat 6 touchdowns like LSU.

Review of season: Pretty good coaching, pretty good players. We should all be proud of the effort and results. However, we were beaten soundly by 2 good teams. Boise State beat us because of better coaching. LSU beat us because of better players. TV analyst Gary Danielson would be the best person to answer the following question. Which Bulldog players could move from thieir UGA position and replace a starter for LSU in that same position in the National Championship game this January? Given that LSU plays skillfull, mistake-free, power football, and plays well in a big time setting, the only Bulldog player that I believe could replace a LSU starter is Orson Charles.

Pulaski,

Count again the number of dropped passes. There were 2 for sure TDs and many more for great yardage that hit concrete hands. When talented receivers can’t catch that’s pressure on the QB and / or coaching. During the first half Murray had time to pass and so many were dropped it was sickening. That is game prep and we didn’t have it in the receiving corps.

The coaches had a gameplan for most of the first half then Bobo changed it to a running game with no O Line run blocking and no tough runner – brilliant! It crashed and burned in flames thereafter.

• Link
• Report this comment

Mark,
I disagree that Bobo has passed any significant test to the point that we can proclaim him “good.” I agree with those who say that we benefited more from a string of opponents experiencing down years than we did from a savvy OC. Don’t get me wrong. I’m happy for the results but I don’t think we should turn down the heat. The Dawgs, who I love, deserve better in that area.

I don’t condone calling for Richt’s job UNLESS Bobo stays another year.

On the plus side, thanks TG for growing a great defense. Atta Boy! Looking forward to seeing more of the same at the least. Go DAWGS!

If Murray had come out a little more confident and some receivers had made some plays, we may have won that thing, but you have to hand it to Les Miles and LSU. That team is GOOD. Even so, our defense is stout and I cannot wait to see how next year goes. We get almost everyone back and Justin Anderson graduating should be addition by subtraction (at least for pass blocking, he is a good run blocker). Another year of seasoning for Ogletree and Jenkins? Opposing teams may end up with negative rushing yards for the season against us.

UGA worries about being “national” on the recruiting scene…no, we need to keep the best players in state!!!! All of Louisiana’s top players go to LSU, Alabama’s to Bama, South Carolina’s to USC, etc. We would love to have Marshall from NC, but what about the kid from small town middle GA or South GA with a heart and desire to be a Dawg, not some kid who has everything thrown to him (Crowell). Yes he is just a kid and I would probably be the same way if I were 18 with apparently no true sound upbringing. Let’s give the kid the offseason to grow up some more…he is probably in attitude no different than some of these other kids who were labeled “great”. I am surely glad someone gave me another chance in life, and as a military officer, I turned out alright.

I find it unbelievable that people are talking about a loss of that scale as a “good game” or a “close game,” as I’ve heard some say. Sorry, but the dawgs got stawmped. Hard.
I imagine LSU fans think as highly of UGA, as its fans do of Kentucky.
And while A&M won’t be a threat for years to come–they hardly ever were outside their own pitiable conference–Auburn, Florida and, it is hoped, Tennessee will be older and wiser, too. And then there’s South Carolina, which just like the dawgs, leave this year better than they started. We’ll see if UGA stays ahead, or it the others just pull even. Since really the only difference this year was that many teams are rebuilding, I’m thinking it will be the latter.
