UGA beats Ole Miss, and it’s back to Auburn for the clincher

Athens — Back to Auburn, another SEC East title on the line. Back to Auburn, where Mark Richt’s Bulldogs clinched the SEC East and knocked the lid off Georgia football in 2002. Back to Auburn, and then back to the SEC championship game.
“We wish we hadn’t lost to South Carolina, but they took it to us,” said Alec Ogletree, the splendid linebacker. “But we came out every week still playing like we were going to get to the (Georgia) Dome. And now we control our own destiny.”
Back to Auburn for the clincher, back after a difficult beginning to this post-Florida letdown game. Back, not incidentally, off the strength of a play not unlike 70x Takeoff, the play that spawned the David Greene-to-Michael Johnson that won at Auburn 10 years ago.
Inside the final 30 seconds of this first half, the clock ticking after consecutive sacks, Georgia trying not to burn its final timeout, Ole Miss trying to hold a 10-7 lead. Aaron Murray took the snap, pumped one way and looked another, just as Greene had done that cold day at Jordan-Hare, only this pass was complicated by an onrushing Rebel. Murray had to dodge to his right, and when he did he found Tavarres King running free down the right sideline, waving at his quarterback to throw the darn ball already.
And then the ball was in the air and soon in King’s hands. And then King was in the end zone and his team had taking a lasting lead and he was handing that football to some of the members of the assembled Redcoat Band.
“I tried to flick them the ball,” King said. “I thought they would like to see what it felt like to hold it.”
From there it was easy, these gifted Bulldogs winning 37-10 after spotting the visitors a 10-point lead. Usually it takes a while for Georgia to get going, but when it does it’s a sight to behold.
“We might not win by a lot,” said the freshman Todd Gurley, who gained 117 yards rushing. “But we get the win.”
They head now to Auburn, and the Tigers haven’t won a conference game this year. This victory wasn’t 10 minutes old before Richt was trying to turn his team’s gaze westward, telling the Bulldogs: “Get your minds right right now; get your jaw set. In seven days, we’ve got a chance to finish.”
This hasn’t been the easiest of seasons, but to look at Georgia’s record is to see a team in the position it figured to occupy. The rise of Florida complicated matters, but Georgia took care of the Gators, and now only one of Auburn’s worst-ever teams stands between the Bulldogs and another chance to win the SEC, something this program hasn’t managed since D.J. Shockley and Co. upset LSU in December 2005.
Maybe you’re recalling what happened last December, when Georgia led No. 1 LSU by 10 points only to lose by 32. Maybe you think this year’s title game will be a similar wipeout. But maybe you were among those who believed these Bulldogs would have no chance in Jacksonville. A team this talented will always, always have a chance.
Some will carp about this first half. Go ahead. Indeed, there was a moment late in the first quarter when Ole Miss had outgained the home side 100 yards to 16. But here was the yardage count after 60 minutes: Georgia 533, Ole Miss 234. That’s domination on a day when everyone knew the Bulldogs would be looking back to the Jacksonville and ahead to Auburn. Once they got their minds right and jaws set, however, it was set and match.
And that has become the Georgia Way. Said Todd Grantham, the defensive coordinator: “Even when we weren’t playing as well early in the season, we got better as the game went along.”
We can say the same of the season. Georgia is better than it was in September, loads better than on that dark night in Columbia and that strange evening in Lexington. This isn’t a perfect team, but when it’s in trouble it will fight long enough for Grantham and the offensive coordinator Mike Bobo to think of something. And when they do …
We move again to the first half, the Bulldogs down 10-0, facing third-and-1 at their 34. To fail to convert is to risk falling into a serious hole. The safe play would be to run it. Bobo had Murray fake a handoff and hide the ball and sling it long to the ridiculously open Marlon Brown for the touchdown that got Georgia going. “That call,” Richt said, “takes a little bit of nerve.”
The Bulldogs held their nerve this day, same as they’d done against Florida, and now they’re one game from the Dome. And back to Auburn they go, back to finish another lap of another drill.

Seven minutes to go and LSU leads Bummer by 3 and LSU has the ball … Geaux Tigers!!!!!!! Good game Dawgs but concerned about Marlon Brown’s injury. Already lost Michael Bennett – can’t afford to lose Brown. Six minutes to go and 1st down for LSU. No turnovers and run that clock! Lot’s of recruits at UGA game and they should be happy with what they saw from UGA. Montravius Adams, Nkemdiche and many others at the game. Mettenbubba is carving Bummer up with mid range passes and 4 minutes left. 2nd down and 3 minutes to go for LSU. 1st down and 3 minutes to go. Mettenbubba is throwing like a 1st round draft choice. Who would have guessed that LSU could pass on Bummer like this? 2 1/2 minutes to go and Bummer calls time out to stop the clock. They have one time out left. LSU has 2nd and 7 at the Bummer 33 yard line and Bummer takes their final time out! The Mad Hatter at work – can he pull it off? 3rd and 10 – do they pass? Run up the middle for 4 and 4th down. 1 1/2 minutes left – will LSU go for it or try a long field goal? They already missed one. 45 yard try coming up – Wide left by two feet. Bummer gets the ball on their their 28 YARD LINE – complete two passes to LSU 42. Another completion – appear to have gone to a prevent defense but why? LSU has two 3rd team safeties in the game due to injuries. Screen pass to Yelden – touchdown! Crap!!!!!!! Should not have gone to prevent defense. 51 seconds left and Bummer to kick to LSU. No time outs left for LSU. Excellent pass blocking on that drive. Kick run back to the 20 yard line and 45 seconds remain. 13 seconds remain and Mettenbubba is sacked. Game over. Bummer shows they are mortal but McCarron, after a poor 2nd half, comes through on the final drive with the aid of the OL. Will it be Bummer/LSU for the SEC? Bummer escapes by the skin of their teeth but they get the “W” and remain #1 for now. Oregon scraped by S.C. and Kansas State won and Notre Dame got lucky and beat a 4 loss Pitt in 3 over times. As I said Bummer hasn’t played a real top 15 team until tonight and they were outplayed on the field. Saban admitted that in his interview. Congrats to Bummer – go Dawgs!

Bummer is outplayed most of the 2nd half but manages one drive an4.d a TD to take LSU by 4. LSU missed one field goal and passed up another but failed to get a 1st down on 4th. Those 6 points would have given LSU the win.

Uh no – a on loss team is unlikely to play for the BCS this year. Notre Dame, Kansas State, Bummer and Oregon all won today but K-State was the only team to win big. Notre Dame lucked out again in 3 over times to a 4 loss Pitt team. Bummer came from behind to win with less than a minute to go and Oregon outlasted S.C. in a tight high scoring game. These will be the top 4 teams next week. Notre Dame has a weak schedule from here on out and should go undefeated. If Bummer loses to UGA I still don’t see UGA going to the BCS championship game as there will still be 3 undefeated teams ahead of them.

I’m not one to fantasize…..but IF UGA beats Bama, no way the voters put an undefeated K-State over a one-loss UGA that just beat Bama. The problem is ND and Ore, one of them has to lose…

Who besides LSU has Bummer beat? Michigan is way over rated. Til LSU has ahd a soft schedule. Did not have to play S.C., UGA or Florida. Not saying Bummer is over rated but am saying they aren’t invincible and an LSU team that has a weak offense took it to them and out played Bummer. Saban said so in his interview. Bummer better beware the Dawg. It may surprise you but Saban is 3 – 3 against Richt. This IS the year of the DAWG!

Before we get ahead of ourselves and book hotel rooms in the ATL, we have former D coaches at Auburn who will be gameplanning for UGA – and knowing how to do it.
We just lost another big-play, big-target, WR. That’s gonna hurt, just like losing Bennent did. Not only do you lose their talent and ability, the other receivers of note get tighter coverage, and double coverage without Bennent and Brown on the field.

Another inconsistent effort against an outmatched opponent with a record of two conference wins since 2010 and the Dawg nation is all fired up. Those that only see the entry in the win column will be sorely upset when we have to play a really good team–or at least one that has been well prepared by its coaching staff. Can you say SC? . Truth is we need a change of direction in the leadership -or lack of- in this program, Many of us long time supporters are close to or past the point of giving up hope that UGA can return to being a contender for the NC.

GA has the fastest wide reciever on the side line. His last name is Wesley.
Maybe he can play since Marlon Brown is out for the rest of the year.
The defender that tackled Brown on the play where he was injured,
deliberately twisted his knee, should have been a personal foul called
for that act, there is no place for that. Too bad for Marlon, since he is
a senior.

If you posted AJC much, you would know I was being facetious. The use of the word thug is used liberally by Tech-nerds when refering to the Doggies.

realistic – agree to a point, but not sure if we get thumped by Bama we would be ranked high enough to play N. Dame or K. State at that point. If hard fought and close then maybe. No, we have to find a way to beat Bama – Bama need to turn the ball over and we will have to give Mr. Theus some help with a tight end over him.

Another inconsistent effort against an outmatched opponent with a record of two conference wins since 2010 and the Dawg nation is all fired up. Those that only see the entry in the win column will be sorely upset when we have to play a really good team–or at least one that has been well prepared by its coaching staff. Can you say SC? . Truth is we need a change of direction in the leadership -or lack of- in this program, Many of us long time supporters are close to or past the point of giving up hope that UGA can return to being a contender for the NC.
_____________________
We fell behind by 10 and still won by 4 TDs. Hard to fault the final result there. We’ve had one no-show (SC). We’re 8-1 and ranked in the top 5. We’ll be solid favorites for these last three games. Let the season play out before giving up.

Very good game from the dogs, a little worried at the beginning. I am a diehard fan but realistic, after watching Bama and LSU play. I do think those were the top 2 teams in the SEC. The horrible offensive line we have will get exposed by Bama. Also, better coaching, I still think Bobo is horrible and Murray saved him with those big plays. Yes the play fake was Bobo calling it, however why does he look like he coaches better against the inferior teams, hmmm. UGA has had a great year even when they get beat by Bama in the Championship game. We are stuck to what it is, we will always be playing to be the bridesmaid.

That game last night in Baton Rouge should be proof positive to Dawg Nation that UGA has no shot in the SECCG. Richt and Company don’t have the discipline to beat either of those teams last night. The light may have finally come on for ZachMett last night. Do you think Murray would have performed that way in Tiger Stadium? History says no.

If you were a man of honor, you would understand that I was defending my school from another unwarrented attack by a booger-eater from tech.

Bama showed last night that it is overrated, and that it would not be undefeated if it played in the East this year. LSU got thumped by Florida, and Bama would not beat the top 3 teams in the East. The great Q.B. at Bama had no first downs in 2nd half until the last drive.He is no different from Murray when he is pressured, so Bama gets out gained by over 100 yards and gets lucky. If not for the stupid calls by LSU head coach, onside kick, and fake F.G., Bama losses. Mett outplayed the heisman Q.B. at Bama, yet we hear nothing about how bad Bama Q.B. played.. UGA will play Bama close, and it will come down to which Q.B. makes the big play in 4th qtr. Get over it Bama fans, your team is not the powerhouse you think they are. Will see you in the Dome, if Texas A&M doesn’t burst your bubble Saturday.

Good week for Dawgs. We unloaded a whooping can on Ol Misses. And then Bammer shows they beatable without getting beatings. Dawgs now win out by punishing Cheese Dip and getting him a firing. Awful Burn is exposed as sorry team do to Cheese Dip not coaching good. We put Awful out a misery for 0-for in SEC play. If that don’t get Cheese Dip fired it cause he have black mail info on who paid the $180K Clams to Newton. And then Dawgs roll to Dome with nothing but patties before we take down Bammer in showing Dawgs own SEC and that means BCS to.

For you people knocking Florida……..
Florida played Missouri yesterday with most of their players having the flu or getting over the flu. Matt Elam was shown right after he empited his guts on the sidelines. Florida is the team that beat LSU by domininating both lines of scrimmage….something Bama could not do last night……and beat South Carolina….handily…..something Georgia could not do. Keep that in mind when you are talking down about the “overrated” Gators. Beat FSU…..and the Gators will be 11-1 and most likely headed to the Sugar Bowl….unless Georgia upsets Bama…then the Senior Bowl. If Bama beats Georgia, Georgia most likely heads to the Senior Bowl and Florida heads to New Orleans….if they beat FSU. And who knows……maybe the Auburn players will play one for their coach vs. Georgia……but most likely….NOT. It is going to take more than just a win over Bama to get Georgia in the NC game…….ND losing to USC….most likely not happening but could. Kansas State losing…..not much of a chance of that happening. Oregon will not lose….they had their Florida and LSU last night….in USC. After watching Bama last night….finally playing a top team……Georgia has a very good chance of beating the Tide. Georgia’s D is now….I believe….playing just as well as Bama’s D. And the Dawgs offense is better the LSU’s offense. Could be an upset in the Dome. Go Dawgs in that one.

UGA will have to play better than they have played this year to beat Bama. It can be done, but here’s a point…if we start slow, like we did last night, don’t expect Bama’s Defense to be kind to the Dawgs. They are the best team in the country for a good reason…THEY PLAY 60 MINUTES! We can’t let them jump out to a big lead or it will be SC all over again. We have to play as hard the first 15 minutes as the last 15 and everything in between has to be 110%. Only maximun effort on our part and a couple of lucky bounces will help uto defeat the best team we will face all year. Bama is for real, but we have a chance…

A very good game for Murray. It was not the big, evenly matched game Bama/LSU was involved in, but very important none the less. And he did extremely well. What’s missing with Murray is the basic instinct to rise up and master the moment. Last night both quarterbacks in the Bama/LSU game showed that. Biggest game of the year for LSU …. best game for their quarterback, for example. But the Bama guy refused to lose. While I don’t think this trait can be taught, Murray certainly put the team on his back Sat. afternoon.

Unless Dawgs bring their F game( like they did vs. SC), they’ll take of Auburn. War Chickens might play them tough for a half, like Ole Miss and Kentucky did. But UGA’s depth will wear them down.
As for Alabama: CAN the Dawgs beat Bama? Yes, they have enough horses to pull it off. But do they have the killer instinct , execution, and discipline to beat Bama? THAT, I’m not so sure. Bama is a team that will punch you in the mouth and test your courage. The only way you’re going to beat them is to take the fight to them. The Dawgs just seem to lack that edge that great teams have, especially on offense. Anything is possible, but honestly Bama is just the better team top to bottom. I’m just not seeing a Bulldog victory. But I do hope they at least give Bama a tough out. We shall see.
