Counting down to Oklahoma State … and watching out for swine flu
Athens — Like the rest of you, Mark Richt is counting down.
“OK,” he said after practice Tuesday. “It’s getting closer. Down to 10 days after today. Seven practices to go.”
Georgia is immersed now in preparation for Oklahoma State, the opening opponent Sept. 5 in Stillwater.
All of Georgia’s practice Tuesday was closed to the media –- usually, the first three or so periods are open -– because the Bulldogs began working on stuff for the Oklahoma State game right away. Usually the first few periods are devoted to fundamental work, so coaches don’t worry about prying eyes on the field for that. Tuesday, “we were right into all our schemes right away,” Richt said after practice.
Late this afternoon, the Bulldogs will hold a practice game –- also closed –- in Sanford Stadium, with the scout team emulating Oklahoma State.
—————————-
With at least 20 cases of swine flu reported on the UGA campus, Richt was asked if he’s worried about it reaching the football team.
“Oh yeah, we’ve been keeping a real close eye on it,” he said. “We actually had a couple of guys that had those type of symptoms in the summer, and we either took them and moved them off on their own or took their roommates out of there. . . . We probably did that two or three times this summer.
“And we have kept a real close eye on the guys since camp started, but we really haven’t had anything since camp started. Haven’t had any symptoms like that. There are certain things, like that MRSA [infection], that can be spread throughout a team, and if you don’t watch it, you’re in trouble. So Ron [Courson, UGA director of sports medicine] is real proactive.”
—————————–
Much has been made of how the Bulldogs backed off physical practices as injuries mounted last year and of how Richt vowed not to repeat that mistake this year. The team-wide epidemic of hamstring injuries has not caused him to reconsider.
“I’m not too concerned about it, really,” Richt said Tuesday. “Quite frankly, we’re practicing about how we [had] been practicing before last season. It’s not a whole lot different. It might feel different to the guys this year because last year was different. But it’s just about the way we’ve always practiced.”
Many of the hamstring pulls have been sustained by veteran players, particularly at linebacker and safety. And if they had to happen, better that they happen to experienced players than to young players who desperately need practice reps, Richt said.
“I’d be more concerned if all of our young guys had hamstring pulls and all I had was veterans working,” he said. “I do think it could end up being a blessing. Those young safeties [Bacarri Rambo, Makiri Pugh, Sanders Commings] got a ton of work –- and a ton of work with the No. 1 defense. And some of our linebackers got some work they wouldn’t have gotten without the veterans having to sit. With the veterans having a working knowledge of the defense, I don’t think [the missed time] will hurt them too badly.”
It helps that most of those who were sidelined with hamstring problems have returned to full action just as — Richt’s words – “we’re getting into the guts of the game plan.” Among those recently returned: safeties Reshad Jones (”I feel like I’m right where I need to be,” he said) and Bryan Evans, linebacker Darius Dewberry and tight end Aron White. Injury update here.
———————————–
High among the UGA defense’s goals this season: Force more turnovers. Last season, the Dogs’ defense tied for 111th among the 119 major-college teams in fumbles recovered, tied for 67th in passes intercepted and tied for 104th in total takeaways. And remarkably, only one Georgia defensive back, Jones, had an interception (he had five).
In turnover margin, the Bulldogs tied for 73rd at minus-3, meaning they lost three more turnovers (19) than they gained (16).
“Football is game of momentum, and we gave away more momentum than we gained,” Richt said Tuesday. “I think most all of us know that if you’re going to win one statistic besides the scoreboard, [you'd want it to be] be turnover ratio. If you knew you were going to win the turnover-ratio battle every single game, you’d know for certain you were going to have a winning season and probably one of your better seasons.”

rambling geeks – keep talkin’ but you know payback is coming hard very soon. Also, know that the Dawgs will win their 6th national champ this year and you’ll be thinking back to your one SHARED championship. Dawgs are alway’s playing for the national championship (and would win it every year if our school classes were not so hard and we could get players with worse academics like the North Ave trade school). GO DAWGS!

“pokesfan” in 2005 UGA went 11-1 in our regular season with a QB who had never started a game at UGA his name was D.J. Shockley. The only reason we lost that 1 game was due to D. J. being out with an injury and us having to play our back-up QB Joe T. who only lost by 3 points to Florida. Enjoy your delusions while you can, but the record shows that OSU can’t hang with good teams like Texas and OU and believe me when I say that this Georgia team is every bit as good as UT and OU, especially on “D” where we are probably better.
Gundy is scared to death of this game because he knows his guys are over confident and he recognizes that he doesn’t have enough quality depth to go 4 quarters against UGA. Georgia also has plenty of game film from last year to study to prepare for OSU, while OSU has hardly anything to study on the guys who will be UGA’s stars this year. Remember UGA doesn’t rebuild we reload.

Tech fans can talk because they actually beat UGA. But for a poke fan to talk smack on a UGA board is a little funny since our last meeting went so well for you guys. Okie State offense slated the greatest show in america in 2007 only to limp back to Stillwater after a 35-14 LOSS. Good luck to the Hokey Pokeys and come back when your team has done something worth talking about.

Hungry Dawg I agree with your prediction Dawgs 38 OSU 24.

I hope for the sake of the state of Oklahoma that pokesfan isn’t the cream of their crop when it comes to intelligence. You’d think with nothing else to do in OK that they would at least figure out how to educate themselves at a minimum.
What a joke, stating that if anything we’ll be able to run the ball against them?? If anything, early in the seaon I think that will be UGA’s weak point. Wait for the burners to catch that ball and run like the wind past your slow defense. If I have to predict a score: 38-21. UGA

Great Point, Gators wear Jean Shorts. The high scoring issue in conference compared to out of conference against a real oopenent is something that you don’t hear many commentators talk about. There was a thing on ESPN about the quarterbacks in the SEC, and Bob Stoops was saying that they score so many points because they have much better quarterback play in the Big 12. Really Bob? take a look at them against Florida last year, or any other bowl game they have been in in the last few years for that matter. Even Texas didn’t put up huge numbers against OSU in the Fiesta last year.
I’ve tried to buy in to the Big 12 hype, and yes I do think they are the sceond best league right now due to the amount of good teams and the fact that a lof of the lower level teams like Texas Tech and OSU are starting to get better. That being said though, THEY DON”T PLAY DEFENSE IN THE BIG 12!

Pokie, it is very difficult to score when your offense is not on the field. Expect long sustained drives from the Dawgs. Notice the frustration from your qb as he sits on the sidelines. I hope the Dawgs don’t score quickly but grind it out against your “dominant” nationally ranked defense. Watch for less than 35 points scored by either team.

I truly see the UGA offense vs. OSU defense as a greater mismatch than OSU offense vs. UGA defense. Not sure about special teams yet because Blair Walsh has a great leg but hasn’t proven he can kick accurately. He killed our momentum several times last year when we needed a FG in our losses. I give him a pass as a true freshman, but we need quality this year. Return wise watch especially Branden Smith, our speed-burning true freshman.

Number 1 Gator Fan – Don’t count your gator eggs before they hatch. With out-of-conference games like Charleston Southern, Troy & Florida International, a BCS foe with a tougher sked might pass you guys if they go undefeated. Plus, they’ll be more “battle tested”, you never know what team will do when it has handled adversity vs. one who’s had everything come easy to them.

I know that you could not imagine that since you have already seen in your crystal ball an undefeated season by your gators but let our team speak for itself. I believe TeBow U(I do like Tebow) will undergo a major change in performance after his departure. I think that will be a real possibility.

Does proactive imply the wearing of surgical masks at some time?

They all returned at the SAME TIME…just in time for the scout team and scrimmages for OK State. I think they were held out of a lot of drills for precautions and for letting the others get reps.

“Forcing More Turnovers” should be 3rd on the defense’s list this year, not the top of it. Learning to wrap up and tackle and sacking the opposing QB should be #1 and #2, not grabbing jersey with one hand and slapping at the ball with the other…this only results in bigger gains by the opposing offenses. I swear to God it is time to show Willie the door!!! The D will probably look improved this year, but I’m telling you his recipe has future disasters waiting to happen!

I think that most would consider that within the margin of error! I ‘m just playing with you gator fan. You have a very good team this year. I do believe that someone is going to surprise you this year and it won’t be one of the minor league 2A teams you’ll be playing..

Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the stomping of the dawgs.
We will make those poor, dumb farm boys
Wish they’d stuck to slopping hogs.
When our team is victorious
We will sing a mighty cheer:
“We’ll do the same next year!”
To Hell, to Hell, to Hell with Georgia!
To Hell, to Hell, to Hell with Georgia!
To Hell, to Hell, to Hell with Georgia!
The cess pool of the South!

LMAO
Only a mutt fan would see an ADVANTAGE in losing all their NFL-caliber skill position players while the other team brings all of theirs back!! LOLOLOL. “Yeah, uh, we have the advantage because, uh, like, they don’t have any film on our guys and they, huh, have the same guys so we can watch the film and stop them, right??”

51-7 …. much more convincing ;-o) Those rings are already irrelevant – try buygold.com
Amazing how the bugs come out of their holes after a narrow win and then the demolition by LSU.
pokefan – you are dreaming if you believe your defense will hold us to 21

I am really getting into my blogs that pound Tech. Normally, I do not even know who their coach is but, um, well, you know ……….this year is different. More later on the game w. them. They know that we are coming to see them.
As for Tech’s season? What conference are they in, and who besides UGA is on their schedule and are they still playing home games in Statesboro? Didn’t Pepper Rogers coach them for awhile? What is he doing now? I sure remember when he let ABC’s Wide World of Sports in their Thanksgiving night locker room meeting on nat’l tv as we had them 42-0 at the half. Poor Pepper, he had not recovered from getting hit in the head by another tech coach with the head phones. HAHAHAHAHAH
UGA 35-OSU 28
GO DAWGS!!

It seems the Ga fans are forgetting about the next game and have lost their concentration and are worried about Tech and Florida. I hope their players and coaches are too. They are too well coached for that, I know.
What you can watch for in this game are two things. First, If they run the ball down the middle and score with the first possession, watch out. It will be a long game for the Cowboys. Secondly if it is a tight game after 3 quarters, the cowboy defensive lline will tire in the 4th qtr. They are too small. Forget the listed weights, teams seem to inflate the listings. See how small they look on the field compared to your offensive line. We don’t have depth on defense and teams like O. U. last year rotated players on almost every down in the 4th quarter. We didn’t have the depth to contend with that. We looked to be in good shape in the 3rd qtr., but just wore out. Yep, this old cowboy is concerned, but I look for a great game. I’ll be there on the 49 yard line 12 rows up. I’m the guy wearing an orange T-shirt. You can’t miss it.
