Fact:………UGA was 12-1 in 2002 (prior to bowl selections)

Fact ………Fla was 12-1 in 2006 (prior to bowl selections)
.
Fact ………Not UGAs fault there were 2 unbeatens that year. “unlucky”

Fact……….Not Flas credit that there was only one unbeaten in 2006. “Lucky”
.
Fact:………Luck not merit had more to do with Fla getting invited to the BCS than whether Fla was more deserving to go to a NC with identical records.
.
Fact:………No SEC team has ever lost a NC game and if UGA would have been invited nothing indicates that it would have been different
.
Fact……….UGA has 2 SEC titles..same as Fla in last 9 years and equal amount of total wins over all.
.
Fact……….UGA has been ranked more times top ten in last 9 years than any SEC team.

Hardly an indictment on UGA but rather on the NC selection process.

2 times finished in the top 3

2 Sugar Bowl wins
90-27 record over 8 seasons – 79% winning percentage (one of only 7 in the history of college ball to have ever accomplished this)

No Probations
He has my respect.

Admittedly the Fla/UGA head to head is a problem. But thats merely one factor…..strange how people COMPLETELY overlook the other OVERWHELMING evidence that points to a great and successful coach.

Achilles was the ultimate warrior…but he had one weakness. Still considered the greatest warrior of antiquity.

Fla is UGAs Achilles heel. Cant have an Achilles heel without being an “Achilles” now can he.

Samuel is gonna be a STUD at linebacker!! I truly believe had Washawn not gotten injured early on last year, this move would’ve already taken place. Richard was recruited as an athlete (5 star, I think) and could’ve played either position out of high school. I think he’s better suited for linebacker and I also believe the new scheme will better suit his speed at the position.
As for Murray, hope he lives up to the billing and becomes the leader our offense has been lacking (for all his talent, I don’t think Stafford was a great leader)for several years (since DJ).
Its my opinion if Logan was gonna be our QB we’d already know it. He too is a good athlete, however, and should be on the field doing something besides faircatching punts (WR or FS maybe?). Just sayin’…

Most of Patrick’s post made no sense. Poorly thought out and poorly edited.

I don’t even know what this means: “Luck not merit had more to do with Fla getting invited to the BCS than whether Fla was more deserving to go to a NC with identical records.”

I think merit has the most reason. If they weren’t good enough to only have one loss, they certainly wouldn’t have made the BCS game. Florida was ranked ahead of three one loss schools. Plus, while Florida beat a top 10 team in the SEC championship game, uga beat a team that was barely ranked. Those are facts. Luck is not a fact. Both Ohio State and Miami would have been ranked ahead of uga with one loss. Even one loss Iowa was ranked ahead of uga in the AP poll.

Plus I’m not sure how you can claim that because “[n]o SEC team has ever lost a NC game” that uga wouldn’t have lost the 2002 game even had they made it. How is it a fact that “nothing indicates that it would have been different.” First, Ohio State didn’t lose that year. Second, Ohio State beat a very good Miami team, who also hadn’t lost that year until they lost to Ohio State. In fact, even after Miami lost to Ohio State, they were still ranked higher than uga. If anything, that tells you that it is far from a fact that “nothing indicates” that uga would have lost the championship game to Ohio State. Moreover, Miami absolutely crushed the only team that uga lost to that year, Florida. If anything, “nothing indicates” that uga would have been competitive against either Miami or Ohio State, much less win the national championship had they gotten there.

You said “Fact………..UGA has 2 SEC titles…same as Fla.” FACT – I think you poorly proofread your post.

You said “UGA has won 4 str8 bowls.” Fact – a lot of teams would have won the independence bowl and beating Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl was like beating a four year old in a spelling bee.

You said: “Fact…… UGA has been ranked more times in top ten than any SEC team over last 9 years.” FACT – you already said that once.

You said “Fact…….UGA is clearly as good or better than any SEC team over last 9 years. Only a fool or a fan of the mythical BCSNC selection process (non playoff) would think otherwise.” Fact – only a fool would think something based on subjective reasoning is a fact

You said “Fact…….Coach Mark Richt in 9 seasons at UGA:” Fact – You didn’t proofread your post.

You said “Fact…….UGA had same record when they won the SEC title in 2002 as Fla did in 2006/8 when they won the SEC title. But UGA had the misfortune (luck) to have that record in a year that had 2 other teams with undefeated records.”

Again, both Miami and Ohio State would have been ranked ahead of uga with one loss. For example, look at the final standings. Despite uga winning their bowl game, Miami was still ranked #2. Both had one loss.

Moreover, I don’t see how you can say having one loss is “misfortune.” uga had the chance to go undefeated, same as any other team. In fact Florida, the team uga lost to that year, lost to Miami, the team that clearly deserved to go there over uga.

It’s not “luck” that gets you championships or “misfortune” that keeps you from them.

We dont know that.

Miami finished second over a 3rd place UGA (after the bcsnc) due to its SOS. Part of that SOS was playing Ohio St. in the BCSNC which placed them (by points) over UGA. ………FAIL.

Atticus. I agree that Willie’s defense was the problem. but lets take an even closer look at the last 2 years. (by the way UGA finished 2nd in the nation in 2007 and Willie was there UGA never finished that high with Van Gorder.)

Several factors came into play over the last two years that made the end result undesirable.

1. In 2008 UGA lost 18 scholly players to season ending injury PRIOR to game 3 of the season. I cant think of another program hit that hard with injuries and yet Richt had them at 10-3, ranked top ten and won a bowl game. THATS ALL CAOCHING.

2. In 2009 Richt could not control Matt Stafford and Moreno leaving early for the draft. He was stuck with a horrible QB in Cox and he wanted to give his college room mate Willie M. another shot to show his abilities. That backfired on him. I guess he should have thrown Murray into the fire but UGA would have been 8-5 with a true frosh that suffered from tendinitis anyway so why not give a fifth year senior his shot.

But then you already knew all of this

In the new 3 – 4 scheme, we’ll need lots of talented players at LB. Hopefully Samuel will be as good at LB as he was touted to have been at RB.

A strong front 7, getting pressure on the passer, will make whoever is in the secondary look better.

Offense needs to control the clock, move the chains, and score TDs when they’re in the Red Zone.

Sounds so simple.

Seems very odd that you would take a RB who’s issue is blocking and make him a LB. I could see if he was good blocker, and had other issues like fumbles, leg drive, etc. Blocking is about toughness, will power, and technic, All same skills involved at LB.

That said, if I remember correctly he was outstanding LB in HS, so maybe he can be a better LB.

Fact – even in a sports blog you shouldn’t make the same exact point twice or incorrect statements like “UGA has 2 SEC titles…same as Fla.”

Fact – the NCAA recognizes consensus champions. Page 77 of this: http://web1.ncaa.org/web_files/stats/football_records/DI/2009/2009FBS.pdf

Fact – Richt should have (and did) foresee Moreno and Stafford leaving early. You are allowed to recruit backup QBs and RBs you know.

Fact – you can’t blame luck for the reason uga hasn’t won a national championship under Richt. If he hadn’t lost once in 9 years you’d probably have at least 8 national championships (possibly not the first year). That’s not luck, that’s just not being as good as you need to be.

Any team with at least one loss can’t say that it was “unlucky” to not make the NC game. I can understand a team like Auburn that didn’t make it, because they did everything they could do. Even if uga was “unlucky,” they also weren’t good enough because they didn’t have as good a record as they could have.

I would even say 2008 UGA team was better then Tech but lost to them.
But 2009 Tech was better then UGA, and Tech loss to them.
Funny how 2008 UGA win made Tech’s year, but 2009 UGA win made their year.
But tech had ACC championship to fall back on in 09 and beat all or other big rivals (Clemson, Va Tech, Fl St, UNC)(but 1 Miami)so we can still say we had good year.

Simple Dawg, Agreed the offense needs to step up just as much as the defense.

Stafford leaving did not hurt near as much as Moreno and MoMass.

Murray’s arm was not 100% and Logan looked good in the spring game last year. Besides without Momass, AJ not 100%, and a running game that was not producing until late, against inferior competition, Stafford would have been lucky to put up much better #s.

Bobo needs to be more creative about using his play makers, Carlton Thomas is a prime example.

Good facts, however one has to keep in mind many of Richt’s best years-the first few-he had many of Jim Donnan’s recruits. Unfortunately he hasn’t been as successful these last few years as he was to begin with. I hope for success, and hope I’m wrong, but think Richt’s best years have passed him by.

UGA finished 2007 ranked number 2 in the nation (highest UGA has been ranked since the early 80’s

I’m not playing in your discussion but found the comments interesting. GA has won 2 outright Football Championships and some others in voting before BCS. This is from Wikepedia: The Bulldogs have brought home two national championships in their storied history: a shared title in 1942 and a consensus national championship in 1980 (several polls recognized the Bulldogs as national champions in 1927, 1946, and 1968, as well). In addition to their 2 national championships, the Bulldogs have won 12 Southeastern Conference (SEC) championships, the most recent coming in 2005, boast two Heisman Trophy winners (Frank Sinkwich, 1942, and Herschel Walker, 1982), and hold the distinction of having three graduates become Super Bowl MVPs (Jake Scott, 1972, Terrell Davis, 1998, and Hines Ward, 2005). Cheers!

‘09 GT was not better than UGA, look at Miss. St that finished 2nd to last in the SEC. MSU had nearly 500 yards of offense on GT. What killed them was the 5 turnovers. CMR knew UGA could run on the GT DL and that would keep turnovers down. Iowa did the same.

Defense – my opinion only here but turn arounds can be quick or not. Usually if talent is available, and coaching is solid, turn arounds happen quicker. No brainer right? UGA has talent. Does UGA’s staff have the talent to turn it around quickly? We shall see, but odds are better for a quicker one.

UGA put up good offensive points last year in spite leading in penalties, turn overs, and every other catagory a team doesn’t want rights to. Again, talent is there.

If our bulldogs do but one thing in 2010 and correct mistakes alone, we will have a better year. Add to that the opportunity for fresh defensive schemes, a head coach that can go back to helping develop our OC, rock solid kicking and punting and I like UGA’s chances.

You add to the fact, that we have a hungry team, UT and UF have their own problems and the east is wide open.

Patrick,

I am a huge Dawg fan, hate Florida, however, I am (shuddering) actually taking the side of the Gator here – we may all hate the BCS, but there was a national championship game in 1995 and Nebraska won it. We won it in 80. Sorry, you may not have liked the previous system (and I don’t love the current one either) but as long as the NCAA recognizes champions, then it is is what it is.

It seems Aaron Murray had tendinitis most of last season, which I was unaware at the time, otherwise it’s possible Richt may have pulled Joe Cox from the starting job earlier. I wish we had a better back up but it was what it was.

I do think Richt can be fully blamed for not firing Willie a year sooner and hiring the THEN available, John Chavis. Chavis wanted to come to Athens but Richt stuck by Martinez and we suffered. Look, I think Grantham will do a fantastic job and we can put the nightmare that Willie was behind us, but we should have hired Chavis a year sooner and at least, despite Cox, our defense would have played a lot better in 2009.

It sounds like Samuel might be our fastest linebacker. I think our defense will be incredibly fast next year with Samuel moving over, C. Washington possibly playing LB as well as J. Houston. Our secondary already is very quick and with the additions of Ogletree and Hamilton, that will continue to be the case.

D-1 football is not just the only college sport that doesn’t have a playoff, it’s the only sport period that doesn’t have a playoff. Pro tennis, hockey, basketball, baseball, football (duh), soccer, bowling, and all college sports have playoffs.

That being said; every year we all complain about the BCS and it’s system and every year they sell out the games and millions tune in to watch them. While I agree that college football needs to go to a playoff system it won’t happen until the big wigs start losing money due to poor attendance and t.v. ratings.

The BCS works. It puts the top 2 ranks teams against each other and keep CFB as must see TV during the regular season. Would Auburn vs. Bama be on Friday with national TV coverage if Bama was locked into playoff like the Colts were. Would Bama pull their QB in the Auburn game like the Colts did in the regular season?

I’m a fan just trying to have an intelligent conversation. The sniping from everyone is just white noise to me.

Here’s the reality – Georgia has an incredible record under Mark Richt. Two SEC Championships and he’s the dean of SEC coaches. The last couple of years have been rough because we had an inexperienced and unqualified Defensive coordinator.

We now have hired a guy in Todd Grantham, supremely qualified to get the most out of our talent. Will we win a BCS Title under Richt? Who knows – I hope so. But we have a better chance of getting there in the next few years with Willie Martinez gone.

Unless Richt has a couple of more years like the last 2, then all Georgia fans will want a change. Otherwise, it’s fair tos ay Richt has earned the right to have a few more years with a new coordinator to see what we can accomplish.

Going to Shreveport was a wake up for Richt and that’s why he finally did what should have been done a year earlier, and let go of 3 of our 4 defensive coaches. Richt was complacent when it came to Martinez because Willie was his friend.

maybe that’s why it’s not always good to hire your friends – especially when they fail. As I said, Todd Grantham will do a great job. But I do feel we should have hired John Chavis in Dec 0f 2008 when he openly wanted the UGA job and was still available.

Richt just needs to convince our team that we can beat UF. SC plays us tough every year because they think they can beat us. We don’t think we can beat UF! Think about it…

1. The first time we beat them, they were bad.
2. The second time we punched them in the mouth and danced in the end zone.
3. The year following that…We were scared….”Oh no, how is Urban Meyer going to retaliate?”

I hear your frustration with CMR and share some of it but for
crying out loud could we get sense of perspective here about the
strides that have been made. Before CMR we had not even been to
a SEC championship game. It should all be about celebrating the
future of this program because CMR has shown he understands where
we sit as a program by bringing in the needed staff improvements.
And as CTG has said if we can take care of business the right way
the talent in state is going to get us where we want to go.
Look around even rival bullshi**ers that post here sense the

Tailback U, I agree CMR made great strides. CMR Ihope can continue to make gret strides. Donnan was a mistake. Goff was not prepared for the job. I do not blame him for taking the job, who wouldn’t take their dream job. Goff had UGA less than 7 points from a perfect regular season but he ultimately was not prepared for the job and UGA made a mistake hiring him. CMR has had much the same path early success but struggling to figure out how to finish the job. Now obviously CMR’s worst has been better than where Goff slid to. I look forward to the future. Defense and special teams should be vastly improved. CMR needs to get back to his 5+ min game killing drives that were a trademark in the early years. I will be watching to see if UGA can do it.

Logan has the most experience in the system so he has that advantage, and he’s a dual threat QB. Tremedous athlete, can do it all. Speed, intelligence, and leadership.

Murray, the only worries are size–he’s not tall–and he is injury prone so far in each of the last 2 years. Murray, if he can stay healthy, is a dual threat and a scoring machine. Big game player and leader–2 state championships.

Zach has the edge over Murray because of the 5 weeks Murray missed. Zach has great size and accuracy.

Mason is the new kid on the block, great size, accuracy, decision making, extremely productive, but they’ll probably red-shirt him.

Let’s set the record straight on this.
.
In 2007 LSU lost to Arky and Ky both 8-5 teams that year.

UGA beat KY handily, 24-13.

UGA did lose by 21 to UT in Knoxvegas, though, and to S. Carolina 16-12 in Athens.

At the time S.Carolina was a damn good team and highly ranked

UGA was actually ahead of LSU in the polls going into the week of the SECCG. However, intense lobbying by the nattering nabobs of ESPN, Jesse Palmer and Lou Holtz, using the “UGA didn’t win their conference” mantra swayed poll voters enough to allow LSU to jump UGA in the polls and the BCS, locking UGA out of the big game.

This, despite the fact that both Nebraska and Oklahoma had played in the BCSNC game previously (look it up) WITHOUT having won their conference championship. (Palmer and Holtz never bothered to mention that.)

Now, if that isn’t getting screwed out of playing in the BCSNC game and being MNC I don’t know what would be. Also, to add insult to injury, UGA played LSU in Baton Rouge the following year and beat the Tigers by 2 touchdowns both teams being basically the same as the year before. This couldn’t be more clear.

there were clearly only tow teams in the running to play OSU in 2007 of the two teams One gets picked over the other because of a poll not the winning of the conference.

Ten months later they play (with basically the same personnel) and the team that didn’t get picked kicks the other team’s ass by 2 touchdowns–and you think that means nothing!

I think it means 3 things:

First, it means that UGA was a better team than LSU in 2007;

second, it means that if LSU and UGA (2 teams with identical conference and overall regular season records) had played in the SECCG, UGA likely would have dusted LSU and been SEC champion;

third, since one of the most often cited playoff formats is the “plus-one” game, had there been a “plus-one” game pitting #1 vs.#2 after the bowls were done for the 2007 season UGA would most likely have won the BCSNC in 2007.

UGA was a dropped pass away from being undefeated in 2002 and a turnover away from being a one loss team in 2007. If either of those two things happen there is at least one BCS banner hanging at Sanford Stadium, possibly two.

Everything had to fall perfectly into place for LSU to be in the N.C. game in 07 and for FLA to be there in 2006.

So it is all how the cards fall and who is in the right place at the right time and who loses when and to whom they lose to.

A bit delusional aren’t we???

You left out many interesting facts.

Fact UGA has only won one National title in over 100 years of football (even though UGA counts another from an obscure source that was not one of the two major polls of the era) and it certainly was not won under Coach Richt.

Fact: UGA has not beaten a team that finished in the top 10 in any final poll under Richt out of conference. His best was last year when he beat #13 Georgia Tech. Before that his best was beating the #18 team twice (Hawaii and Michigan State).

Fact: When was the last time a coach with about a decade of experience at the same school won a National title? Was it Bobby Bowden? Not sure…but let’s just say they are much more unlikely as a coach gains time at a school in the modern era (say since 1990). Has any coach won under the BCS while at the same school for a decade before he won it?
Point is that it is very unlikely UGA will win a NC with Richt at the helm.

Fact: The beloved DC that UGA just hired at $800,000 per annum has virtually no experience at the job. He was DC for one year and was fired at that job. But I guess he did save UGA from the embarassment of being rejected again but at a huge cost.

Fact: IF UGA DOES NOT WIN 9 GAMES next year with the powder puff schedule that will prove this program is in a major retraction instead of growth. The only games that seem at all of a question mark will be Florida, Auburn (don’t play Bama or LSU). If you include teams like South Carolina, Arkansas or Georgia Tech…I doubt that you expect to be a serious top 10 team anyway. but those are the only 5 games that could be expected to be serious threats. I guess with Rogers at UT and a Dooley coaching them they too could be an interesting game but not if you seriously think we can compete at the highest level.

Questionable Fact: Are we turning into Georgia Tech? Are we content with being a perenial top 10 to top 20 program that consistently wins 9 to 10 games with a soft out of conference schedule boosting the win total or do we expect more? It probably is time to thank Coach Richt for the great couple of years he provided but truly start the search for excellence by some of the great young coaches that are ready to head a major program (of which several great UGA alums should head the list).

You shouldn’t make light of the devastating impact injuries had on the ‘08 DAWGS.

Sturdivants loss before the 1st snap was crippling as was the loss of Owens on the 8th snap of the first game.

Your best offensive and defensive linemen gone before the season starts.

Who could absord those blows (Alabam couldn’t win one game without their left tackle).

UGA also lost Washington at middle linebacker for the year and basically lost Ellerbe for half the year.

Defensive ends? Pretty much the whole crew was lost for all or part of the season.

Back up saferties? same story.

And on offense, after losing Sturdivent,

UGA lost his replacement Vance half way through the season.

Later, Anderson was lost for several games and Chris davis was playing hurt all year.

Both tight ends were injured almost all season (catching only 4 passes), and the starting fullback missed the first 5 games and never was the same.

Many of these players were seniors.

The list of inhuries goes on and on.

It had a huge impact on offense, defense and special teams.

Mett has lost about 20 lbs and if his footwork has improved he certainly has a shot because he is better suited for the pro style O. Murray has a lot of talent and if Bobo and Richt make the proper adjustments to the offense he can go far. I would like to see more multiple reciever formations when Murray is in the game to spread the D and give him some throwing lanes. I would also like to see Murray roll to his left instead of rolling to his right and throwing to the left across his body. I know Drew Brees does that and he is short, but I don’t think Murray is Brees yet. Gray has his shot so lets see what he can do. This will be an intresting year, but remember the old Chinese curse,”may you be born in intresting times.”

I love how Florida and Alabama fans are constantly reading the AJC sports section that is primarily focused on GEORGIA based teams. It never ceases to amaze me how many of you get on here just to trash talk other teams in the SEC.

UGA fans only fuel the fire replying to them. The UF vs UGA tradition is long standing. Anyone who knows the history knows that each team has dominated the other over various periods of time. UF loves that they can shout about the passed decade or so. I’m sure UGA shouted just the same in the prior decades.

So UF has stepped it up since Spurrier arrived, congratulations. Now get over yourselves and hope that Urban can get his health in check. Don’t forget you guys have a few new coaches as well as a fairly untested offensive/defensive roster. Those that did see the field didn’t really help the not-so-dominant performances UF had this year. Though I will give you the win over the Head Coachless Cincinnati team.

Anyway, it’s going to be an interesting year for the SEC in 2010. Hopefully UGA will have finally awakened the sleeping dragon that was once their defense and rise again to be a dominant force in the SEC.

We shall see!

Fact. UGA has a much more favorable schedule than last year.

Fact. Two of UGA’s biggest rivals have be decimated by coaching changes (something that is blamed for UGA’s slip in recruiting but apparently having a defensive coordinator leave at UF did not have much of an effect on recruiting) and one has a head coach basket case and the other is a new head coach that has a losing record in college football minor league play.

Fact. Losing more than one, possibly two games this fall will be inexplicable.

HMM, if UGA is so bad, why are Florida fans on this forum trying to turn people against UGA? Odd.

Particularly when you consider they have a losing record against Georgia.

Quite illogical in regard to any facts responding to my man Patrick. With that logic of fact, UGA won the last 2 minutes in 2008, therefore we are great. Pick a spot, any spot, good job for a Gator though.

Good size, excellent speed, accurate good decision maker.

He was the #40 player in ESPN’s top 150 and ranked #12 QB on scout coming out of High School.

I like the fact he’s an accurate passer, and he puts pressure on the defense because if they drop people into coverage, he can really run. He’s a dual threat QB.

Gator 17 – I don’t need anyone to tell me what our record has been over the last 20 years to UF. I am well aware of it. But are you saying that makes UGA a bad program? How about those close games win or lose? So I guess if team a wins my a missed FG then team B is not good?

The Gators have been good, I think we all get that. But the Gators are always beatable, just ask Alabama, Auburn, Michigan, LSU, Mississippi, and yes even Georgia and South Carolina.

If during Spring pratice Logan and Murry come out 1-2 in the quarterback race I would look at getting Mettenberger on the field at tight end. He should be as good or better than Lenard Polk with the added threat of him throwing the ball from that position. Spring game should be interesting.

patrick,

I don’t expect you to understand my teaching with your peanut-sized brain.

If you are dominated by another team in your same division 17-3, the perception is you are not the premiere team in the country. Especially you lose when you are supposed to win, everybody will “here you go again”.

In 07, lots of people expected dawgs to beat Tennessee and be SEC champ, but you lay a big egg in Knoxville. In 08, you were supposed to beat BAMA with Stafford and Moreno, but you couldn’t do it.

In you SEC champ years, you could go undefeated while the league was down.

• Report this comment

Roaddawg I don’t know if you’ll see this but here is my response. It is NOT just about points because if so, I totally agree with you, our offense hasn’t held up their end at times. Having said that, if you think these defenses have played the same as those under Van Gorder you are fooling yourself. They also have recruited poorly and haven’t coached up these players especially at LB and safety. We get no turnovers and tackle poorly and at times give up HUGE chunks of yards and seem to fold in games—UF twice, Bama last year, TN this year, GT last year…

But in the end this is ALL on Richt. It is a team sport and every aspect of the team has to be excelling and they haven’t, special teams has been poor, especially KO coverage, KO return and punt return. We did lose a QB early along with Knowshon and certainly that hurt. We had a ton of injuries. And we commit way too many penalties, so yes to your point it is not just about Willie and Van Gorder. But as I said, Richt’s legacy is tied to the new defensive staff, to the new QB and his overall management of discipline, special teams, recruiting and strength and conditioning.

IN 2007…LSU lost 2 games in OT, won the SEC title and then beat the #1 team in nation…they won when they had to and when it mattered
.
UGA also had a good season, but never was in the big games (SEC title game, or NC) that could have put them over the hill in 2007

UGA opponents…Ok St 7-6 (W 35-140, SC 6-6 (L 12-16), Western Carolina 1-10 (W 45-16), Bama 7-6 (W 26-23 OT), Ole Miss 3-9 (W 45-17), Tenn 10-4 (L 14-35), Vandy 5-7 (W 20-17), Fla 9-4 (W 42-30), Troy 8-4 (W 44-34), Auburn 9-4 (W 45-20), Kty 8-5 (W 24-13), Ga Tech 7-6 (W 31-17)

That being said they could have made a case if they made it to and won the SEC title game and then didn’t get to play in the NC…they had a good season, but didn’t win, or really dominate some teams that they should have…Ohio State is probably asking why they didn’t finish second in the polls…oh well

Zack has the best size for a QB of the UGA QB’s, 6′ 5”, think Eli Manning. He was ESPN Elite 11, #14 QB on Scout, #11 on Rivals.

Zack was the MVP of the Elite 11 Nike Camp.

Zach has big arm strength, decision making, and mental toughness.

He has a great sense of humor, keeps himself and everybody else light.

He has 5 weeks of practice over Murray.

Hopefully Met has grasped the system, because if he can’t run ALL of the plays, then you have Joe Cox once again, only with a cannon of an arm. Murray should benefit from handing the ball off and not having to throw sooooo many passes. A balanced attack should do wonders. It’s not too late for them to coach the happy feet out of Gray (or mayb it is), and what was the QB coach doing with this kid for the years. Met and Gray are too slow at reading the defenses under center, while Murray is ahead of them at this point. Each QB needs to step it up, but at this point Murray is ahead.

We are 1 out of 9 against Mark Richt and obviously 1 out of 9 is a FLUKE!
We have lost 5 straight bowl games. We haven’t won a major bowl game since the 1950s.
We were champions of a second tier conference but even at that we were not good enough to beat UGA on our own field in our own tiny little stadium.
We hardly ever fill up our stadium. Only when UGA or Clemson brings their fans to Atlanta can we fill up our little stadium.
Even our overrated basketball team could not win the state championship as the Dawgs whipped our nerdy butts in that too!
But we can always resort to what we do best, whine and make excuses. We’ve done that for decades and have perfected it into an art form!
