Talking with the QBs: ‘I believe in my heart I can win the job,’ Logan Gray says
(Third in a series.)
It’s been an interesting year for Logan Gray. The 2009 season started with many Georgia football fans calling for him to play more in relief of -– or in place of –- senior quarterback Joe Cox. And the season ended with rumors swirling that Gray would switch positions before spring practice, leaving quarterback for perhaps wide receiver.
Turned out, the calls for more playing time were unheeded and the rumors were overblown.
So after a 2009 season that saw him rarely on the field, Gray, who will be a redshirt junior in the fall, looks forward to a spring competition with Aaron Murray and Zach Mettenberger, both of whom will be redshirt freshmen, to succeed Cox as the Bulldogs’ starting quarterback. (Note: Recent signee Hutson Mason, the record-setting Lassiter quarterback, won’t arrive in Athens until the summer.)
Gray, Mettenberger and Murray met last week with beat reporters who cover the Bulldogs. I’ve previously posted transcripts of the sessions with Murray (click here if you missed it) and Mettenberger (click here if you missed it). Now, here’s the interview with Gray, a dual-threat quarterback who signed with the Bulldogs out of Rock Ridge High School in Columbia, Mo., and, it should be recalled, was rated the nation’s seventh best QB prospect by ESPN as a high school senior.
There’s been so much talk about a position switch. Did you think a lot about that, or were you a quarterback in your mind all along?
Gray: I’ve thought about it some. I think ultimately I just want to try to do what’s best for me and what’s best for our team and helping out the team. I’ve thought about it, and nothing has really changed, dating back to anytime really. I’m planning on playing quarterback. If it doesn’t work, I’m not, like, opposed to playing receiver or trying to play defense or whatever it may be. Ultimately I just want to try to help the team win and, you know, contribute.
Did the coaches leave a decision on a possible position switch up to you?
Gray: The coaches never really even confronted me about the whole issue. It was kind of interesting that all this whirlwind talk started brewing up and everything because it seemed to me like Coach [Mike] Bobo was planning on me playing quarterback through the spring. . . . This spring I am planning on playing quarterback.
So how do you view the quarterback competition going into the spring?
Gray: I feel like obviously we’re looking for a starting quarterback, and I feel like I can compete for it. And after last year, I didn’t get quite as much experience as I would have liked, but I feel like I’m ready to go this spring and I’m excited about spring practice and what’s going to happen. Obviously we get caught up so much in these individual battles and stuff that we forget sometimes that we’re still Georgia and the whole goal is to win games and get better as a team. Obviously I want the best player at quarterback to play who’s going to help us. If it’s not me, I’m going to try to contribute any other way I can.
How did you cope with all the will-he-switch-positions talk?
Gray: There’s always going to be stories coming up about something. That just kind of got brought up somehow. It didn’t really bother me. I stopped talking to the media for a little bit at the end of last year, just to let it all clear over and not be a distraction from the team or anything like that. Like I said, I’ve just let it all smooth over . . . and we’ll see what happens on the field before everybody starts talking about this or that.
Do you see the quarterback competition as all three candidates being on an even keel, or inside the program do people view someone as the favorite to win the job?
Gray: I would like to hope that everything is on an even keel, but obviously the coaches have in mind what they think is going to be best for the team. So we’ll see what happens. Really, there’s nothing that me or Zach or Aaron can do besides give it our best shot and do everything we can to prove to the coaches we should be the No. 1 guy. I guess all you can really worry about is yourself. I’m just trying to focus on what I can do and not worry about what other people are doing.
How did you stay positive after not playing as much as you thought you would last season?
Gray: I think everybody on our team has just got to keep a straight-ahead mindset going, especially after a tough year last year. There were a lot of things, besides me maybe not getting as much playing time as I would have liked, that just didn’t go our way. But obviously dwelling on anything that happened in the past is not going to get me anywhere, so I’ve just been trying to work hard this offseason and do what I can to get better and get stronger and get faster and make sure there’s no way they can keep me off the field, even if it’s not quarterback.
How much pressure did you feel last season when you’d get on the field for such short stints [i.e., one play]?
Gray: That was one of the toughest parts actually. You’d come in for a play, and maybe that play didn’t work. Maybe you got a zero-yard gain on a run play or something. You’d try not to, but you’d be stressing because you’d want to make something happen so bad so that you could get more plays or get more opportunities. . . . We’ve all got a clean slate coming into this year. And we’re 0-0, so get back to work. And spring practice will just ultimately be big in deciding what’s going to happen in the future.
How much have Aaron and Zach grown as quarterbacks [since enrolling at UGA in January 2009]?
Gray: They’ve definitely grown a ton. I think coming in early helped both of them a lot. They’ve been through spring practice before. Just maturing from from a knowing-what-to-do standpoint and a comfort standpoint is probably the biggest thing. I think that’s with any young quarterback; it takes a little while to get the comfort behind center that it takes to be successful with the game speed that goes on.
The three of you bring different things to the table. Will that make the competition potentially harder to judge?
Gray: Possibly. Maybe you’d see exactly where everybody stood if they all had the tall, strong arm or [were a] fast guy like maybe me. I think ultimately the coaches are looking for who is going to be the most consistent, who’s going to be a leader of this team, who’s going to be able to provide playmaking skills that will help us win ballgames. Whether they get it done one way or the other way, whoever is getting it done best is going to be the guy.
Just to be clear, you expect to play quarterback exclusively this spring?
Gray: Yes. Yes.
You expect to win the starting job?
Gray: Yeah, I think you’ve got to have that mindset. If you’re not expecting to win the battle, then there’s really not a reason to compete, you know what I mean? So I’m trying to do everything I can to win the job, and I believe in my heart that I can win the job. So we’ll just see what happens when it comes time to compete.
What do you think about sports fans’ tendency to focus on the newer guys [in this case, freshmen Murray and Mettenberger]?
Gray: It’s definitely something that [happens in] all sports. ‘What have you done for me lately?’ Or, ‘who is the new up-and-coming guy?’ There’s always going to be excitement about the young guy. It’s crazy that even people were saying stuff when Matthew Stafford was playing here or other great players [were playing here] at different positions: ‘We got this other guy coming in; he’s going to be really good.’ But that’s just a part of it. You can’t worry about it. . . . If you’re worried about other things beside yourself, you’re going to be focusing on the wrong thing.
Thanks for reading these interviews, folks.

About Logan Gray
February 15th, 2010
3:56 pm
Logan is a tremendous athlete. Fastest QB, best mobility, biggest run threat. Better size than Murray, 6′ 2”, 200 lbs. Good decision maker, accurate short to mid-range, strong arm.
Logan was ranked #12 QB by Scout.
He also has the advantage of being the most familiar with the system, and being loyal to the program and a team player.
He completed 58% of passes, 25 td’s, 10 int’s.

if gray was good he would have un beaten joe cox last year. He is not SEC QB material. I was at the spring game last year, and he does have scrambling abilities, but he can’t pass..has a weak arm…I think Murray is our best shot at getting to the top….
About Logan Gray
February 15th, 2010
4:16 pm
Logan had the best G-Day last spring, going 9 for 13. He did also take 5 sacks. But it must not have been good enough to impress Bobo and Richt.
Murray went 3 for 5 and had the longest pass of the game, 43 yards. O int’s, 0 sacks.
Zack struggled horribly in scrimmages last Spring, went 2 for 20, 2 int’s.
The 5 sacks Gray gave up in the Spring game are surprising, considering he’s supposed to be the most mobile.
About Logan Gray
February 15th, 2010
4:21 pm
Logan Gray is also an Elite 11 QB.
He makes 3 Elite 11 QB’s for UGA: Zach, Murray & Logan.
I’d say it’s going to be between Logan & Murray. Zach will have to do something REALLY special to make up for last Spring’s 2 for 20, 2 int performance.
I think UGA is looking for a dual-threat running QB this year to take pressure off the passing game.
Logan can make plays with his legs, was ranked a top 5 dual-threat QB by everybody.
Meyer's Heisman Trophy Winners & #1 NFL Draft Picks?
February 15th, 2010
4:25 pm
If Brantley was good, he would have won the starting position last year.
If Meyer was a good QB coach, he’d have more than 1 Heisman trophy winner, and a #1 NFL Draft pick.
Richt has coached 2 QB Heisman trophy winners, 2 different styles, dual-threat, and pro style, and he helped Stafford become the #1 draft pick in the NFL.
About Logan Gray
February 15th, 2010
4:32 pm
I like what Logan said about what’s needed is:
Consistency, leadership, and play-making abilities.
He certainly has leadership and play-making abilities. He’s the least accurate passer of the 4 UGA QB’s at 58% competion rate. So I’m sure that’s where he’ll work, consistency/accuracy.
But, he was 9 for 13 in thew G-Day game last spring, that’s a 70% accuracy, so look out for this guy.
I’d say he has the best shot. Somebody’s gonna have to be great to knock him out because he’s been there the longest, and Richt doesn’t like change.

I’m leaving the decision up to BuLLdawg and/or Correction. They are obviously both smarter than Coach Richt and Coach Bobo, not to mention the rest of us. If you don’t believe me, just ask them. I am disappointed that neither one has applied for the job as Head Football Coach at the University of Georgia (I know neither one has applied because after reading their posts it is clear that they would obviously be hired – their genius is so obvious).
Coach Richt, Coach Bobo, and everyone else in The Dawg Nation needs to chill until BuLLdawg and Correction make this decision. Of course, as both BuLLdawg and Correction can, and no doubt will, tell us, the decision is irrelevant because Coaches Richt and Bobo have already screwed the whole process up by not burning the red shirt off at least one of the two freshmen last year. Isn’t it so excruciatingly painful to know that the solution to all our problems is simply hiring BuLLdawg and Correction to be Co-Head Coaches. Obviously we should fire everybody in the entire athletic department. How could they not know about these two great football minds right here in our mists?

I have to believe that if the UGA coaching staff really valued his arm and leadership as a quarterback – they would have never, ever let him return punts. Too much could go wrong, despite his bevy of athletic talent.

I was at G-day last year as well. Logan was by far the most impressive. Zach was talking about the drops his receivers had but really Gray had the more telling drops. Troupe droped a touchdown (much like the pass at GT) and there was another long pass that fell through the hands, not a bullet, more of a Manning pass. I am sure they will all get a fair shot, but I am pulling for Gray.
My pre-G-day ranking.

Murry
Zach

Maybe its just me, but isn’t having THREE highly touted Super 11 QB’s on our roster a really good thing? Obviously the experience factor isn’t a perfect situation, but they have all studied the system for over a year now and are clearly talented.
Most teams would love to have the “problem” we have.
DJ Shockley only got token snaps until his Senior season and that turned out alright. These guys are ALL more talented than Cox was. Whoever it is, we have weapons galore on that side of the ball – CMR may be taking his lumps, but developing QB’s CANT be one of them. He coached 2 guys who never did a thing in the pros and he helped them win Heismans. Stafford was the #1 pick. Shockley got drafted and won an SEC title.
As far as this position goes, I have absolute faith in our head coach.

I’d say Logan is a long-shot at best. Realistically, he’s just another “arm” to go through spring practice with. Can’t really have only 2 QB’s going in spring. My guess is that after spring, he’ll move to WR, with the battle for #1 going through summer. If Murray can stay healthy, he’s the most likely to get the starting nod.
He was a great prospect coming out of High School, but he just hasn’t developed. He’s been in the program longer, but couldn’t even earn mop up duty last year for Cox. And that’s saying something. Had Murray not injured himself, I fully believe he would have been the #2 QB and gotten some more playing time. But being a true freshman and missing as much time as he did, it would have been a total waste to put him in.
He’s a heck of an athlete, and I think he can contribute to the team, just not as a QB. I wish him the best….
Sorry Guy!

February 15th, 2010
5:20 pm
I said Richt was stupid for playing Cox, any one of the 3 would have done as well, hard to do worse. The point was we would have an experienced QB this fall, when a much better
team will be on the field. Now QB will be the weakest link.
Tim
February 15th, 2010
5:21 pm
I don’t necessarily agree that the fact he had 2 INT’s last year is the “final straw”, but those were, bad, bad, bad INT’s. And against Tenn Tech? C’mon? Both of those were mental mistakes, things someone in the program for as long as him shouldn’t make.
I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, and competition makes everyone better, but he’s got a lot of ground to make up.
And I wouldn’t put a whole lot of stock into G-Day stats, good or bad. That’s against a 2nd string defense (and everyone knows how bad our D was)
Sorry Guy!
February 15th, 2010
5:24 pm
Eat and Tweet – ok so hopefully Murray doesn’t throw a stupid Int next season or he should get pulled huh? I guess if you were coaching Stafford would have never made it more than a couple starts because I think we can all agree that he threw quite a few “stupid Int’s”.
Tim
February 15th, 2010
5:25 pm
Really? – That’s not what I meant. Way to not read what I wrote and jump to conclusions… Let’s try this again…
I said, IF Murray hadn’t gotten hurt, I think he would have been the #2 QB. And I think he would have gotten more than mop up duty. Actually, I think with the way the season went (and Cox went), he would have gotten significant playing time. However, getting hurt when he did as a true freshman, he got way too far behind the curve. At that point, I think Richt made the right decision and kept his redshirt.
Now, I’m glad you’re not coaching the team either. Having at least a 3rd grade reading comprehension is a pre-requisite.

Correction – this isn’t the NFL buddy. You don’t play a kid one season in hopes to be a better team the following year and basically tell all the seniors on your team we are giving up on this season but hopefully we will be better next season. Sorry all you seniors won’t be around but thanks for all the hard work. You can get away with giving up on a season in the NFL and making moves to make your team better for the next season because each player is making quite a bit of money to show up every day. You play the kids that give you the best chance to win football games and that is why Cox played.

“The interception in the Florida game was the straw bud”
Seriously? He was thrown in the UF game cold in the 3rd, DEEP in our own territory. The first throw was into 3 man coverage with a UF/NFL DB salivating back there. Then the Spikes pick6. I blame Bobo for that. (Sorry fellas) Should have just kept it on the ground until he had some breathing room. That was a pretty tough situation….
Again, I remember the 50 yard strike on the numbers in last years G-Day…..it was awesome!

Honestly, I truly believe that Cox gave us the best chance to win, as Richt said time and time again last year. This is just my opinion though.
Murray got hurt, and that slowed his progress. Mett has a high ceiling, but was very raw coming out of HS, so he wasn’t going to be ready. Gray just hasn’t progressed in his time here, and a lot of that I put on Richt/Bobo because they kept playing around with him on Special teams, and that took time away from his QB work. Did we really need to waste his time/talent doing all those fair catches?
All that said, he really had no choice other to stick with Cox, as painful as that was to watch…

Nothing against Gray but if he wins the job I for one will at
least a little concerned about the development of the other two guys.
Talent wise ( specifically throwing ability ) Gray is not superior
despite his edge in overall athleticism.
However as we recall Stafford did not come out of the gate as
the starter because CMR wanted to give Tereshinski first crack
because of age and class. So for that reson alone it would not
be prudent to dismiss the possibility of this kid starting out
the season as the guy. My instincts say CMR will choose one
of the other guys before the season begins however.

It might be decided on in the spring, and there might even be a “favorite” right now within the confines of Butts-Mehre, but I’d be shocked if anything was announced after spring. I hope there will be, but just dont’ see it happening. In fact, I think anything contrary to this is pure speculation.

Your right. You simply don’t know whether or nor Mason is a S.E.C caliber QB. But apparently CMR and CMB saw the potential. And your speculation about someone transferring is premature and is unwarranted at this point. Go back to your bee-hive.
Tim

Hey, Tim – What makes you think I’m a Techie? UGA grad ‘02, season ticket holder since then…
I’ve only stated my opinion, never claimed facts. This is a free message board, isn’t it? Jury is out on Mason, we agree on that. Your argument is on CMR/CMB evaluations. But didn’t CMR and CMB also see potential in Joe Cox? And how’d that turn out?
My speculation is solely my opinion. I think Murray is too talented to stay put if he was to lose out. With Mett, he has tons of potenial, and a legit shot to start at a lot of places if he lost out. Don’t get me wrong, I dont’ want to lose anyone, but I have a hard time seeing someone stay put. Shockley’s don’t happen all the time.
But, if I was the same class as someone, and I lost the starting job, and knew that for the rest of my college career unless he got injured, I was 2nd string, I’d consider transferring too. He’s got the potential to be a starter, just needs refining. Cox never transferred when he lost out to Stafford, b/c he knew he’d be a backup where ever he went.

How did the Coaches evalaution of David Green (Record for most wins in S.E.C) , D.J. Shockley (S.EC. Player of the year) Matthew Stafford (1st player taken in NFL Draft) turn out?
Tim is it your opinion that the Coaches decided not to play the QB they thought gave us the best opportunity to win or that they have suddenly been stricken with poor judgement? Could it possibly be that the other QBs were simply not ready. Also keep in mind Arron Murray (Internet Fan Favorite) was hurt and that put him behind.

Gray is probably already the third best quarterback in the country – the problem is, there are two better on the roster!!
Mark Richt is the best turnaround coach in the nation, Grantham is the best defensive mind of this generation and Georgia has more talent – by a long shot- than any other team in the country!!
Mark it down!!
Hey, Tim

Does your transfer-theory apply to all positions or only the QB? Does your transfer-theory apply to all Universities or just to UGA?
Hold on to your hats folks. In Tim’s world there will be constant transferring from one University to another. I’m sure glad Tim didn’t have D.J. Shockley’s ear.
Go back to your bee-hive Tim.
Tim
February 15th, 2010

Hey, Tim – You make it sound like I have no trust in the coaches, but I do. All I was pointing out was that based on evaluations, not everyone pans out. I hope Mason turns out to be the real deal. But again, I’m not convinced. Notice how I said, I’m not convinced. If the coaches are, I trust them and we’ll see what happens. I hope I’m wrong.
I’m not going to even respond to your 2nd comment. Everything you said there,is in total agreement with what I said in my posts above. Did you read any of them, or decide I was the one you wanted to start an argument with and not bother? Scroll up and read earlier posts, and you’ll see we’re on the same page.
I’m actually starting to think you’re the one who needs to go back to their bee-hive. Chances are you get all your news from the AJC. That’s a shame.

February 15th, 2010

Hey, Tim – You do realize that people transfer from universities all the time. And in most cases, it doesn’t work out for the best (see Mitch Mustain)
For the record, I never once said anyone should transfer or that I expect them to. All I said was that I wouldn’t be surprised.
I’m glad Shockley stayed. As a UGA fan, I knew the talent he had all along, he just needed the right forum and maturity to show it. I still to this day think he had the talent to be starting at most any other school he wanted. Who knows, maybe if he would have transferred and had 3 years in the spotlight instead of 1, he could have gotten drafted higher and still be in the NFL (not sure if he got picked up or not after being cut by Falcons)
But, I’m glad he did stay. He is and always will be DGD!

QB Coach
February 15th, 2010
8:02 pm
Someone mentioned having 3 Elite 11 QB’s on the team, well last year there were 4. Maybe it’s time to get a QB coach and allow Bobo to concentrate on the OC position. Heck, high schools have QB coaches.
Gray should have had that taking off and running coached out of him long ago. Just curious, in the spring game can anyone remember how many of his sacks were due because he couldn’t out run the speeder players that are in college, or were they legit sacks? Were they sacks because they o-line didn’t hold, he didn’t read the d alignment quick enough, why didn’t he dump it off, or throw it away. Doesn’t sound like the individual coaching is there to have the progression required of a new college QB, let alone one that has been around a few seasons. Yep, time to get a QB coach.

I know dawg fans don’t want to hear it but this qb situation looks really bad. I think the Logan Gray kid proved he just doesn’t have it at qb. And the fact that there is no clear front runner and that the likely starter will be a redshirt freshman with zero sec experience. This is bad, bad, bad. You can try in vain to put lipstick on this pig of a situation at qb but the fact of the matter is that its still a pig. I’m not hatin on the dawgs but I think they are in some serious trouble at the all important qb position.
As for Brantley at Florida he will settle in nicely. He has been the undisputed backup for 2 years, has taken a lot of reps both in practice, games, and in spring games. This guy is the real deal and he will be stepping into a starter’s role with a great deal of confidence. Sorry dawg fans but that’s just the way this neutral fan of an sec west division team sees it.

Murray better then Tebow? That’s funny, when Tim was a true Freshman he scored all three touchdowns in the LSU game alone and got the ball in the end zone twice in the National Title Game. Then he led Florida to another National Title as a Junior, then another 13-1 record as a Senior. Murray might not even be the starter and he probably won’t contribute to one National Title let alone two.

LOST 2001 to Boston College # 22 otherwise aren’t ranked David Greene.
David Greene’s Freshman year, you seem to have forgotten altogether. We were UNRANKED in the Final ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ Poll and in the AP Poll barely made the list. The win over what ended up Tennessee vols as # 4 in the nation was the ONLY WIN OVER A TOP 10 Final AP Poll Team in David Greene’s entire career. Then, he went to the NFL and stunk up every preseason game, and I do mean stunk it up. David Greene’s NFL career ended with him NEVER MAKING 1 SINGLE SNAP in the NFL. We read your B.S. about David Greene’s Freshman year and liken that to Aaron Murray will do this year, summarizing that as we will be OK.
8-4
We play 14-game seasons nowadays, and you think we will be just fine and the same as David Greene did his Freshman Year 2001 with 8 wins including the bowl game.
Bubba, we have another 8-win season this season in a 14-game season and Coach Richt can hit the road son.

“joe felt like he had to try and make plays. cox did great with what he was working with.tru freshmen wouldnt have had that much sucess dealing with that. unless it was a matt stafford type freshmen.”
END QUOTE of B.S. by atl-xmen about Matt Stafford Freshman Season
LOST 2006 to vols, # 25 otherwise they aren’t ranked – obviously too. Stafford
LOST 2006 to Vandie UNRANKED a 4-8 team for God’s sake. B.S. Stafford
LOST 2006 to Florida, Matthew Stafford his Freshman Year scored 14 pts vs Florida
LOST 2006 to Kentucky UNRANKED Vandie and KY not good teams. Stafford
4 LOSSES AGAIN Matthew Stafford’s Freshman Year. In a 14-game Season, Matthew Stafford never got to play 14 games. That is because he was eaten alive by SEC East teams. Never got out of his own Division. Then, I come in here and you say, atl-xmen, that Matthew Stafford’s Freshman Season was great beyond all measure. LOSS to VANDERBILT and LOSS to KENTUCKY and LOSS to TENNESSEE vols and LOSS TO FLORIDA. The ONLY SEC East team Matthew Stafford beat in his Freshman Year was South Carolina, and he PROMPTLY corrected that the next year going out and LOSING TO South Carolina 12-16 to start the 2007 season and followed that right up with the LOSS to the Tennessee vols 2007 to make it 6 in a ROW SEC East teams who beat the crap out of Matthew Stafford. But, according to YOU atl-xmen, the way you recall 2006 Matthew Stafford’s freshman season, his 4-LOSS SEASON is better than what you expect of Aaron Murray you say for this season because, well, no one can go out his Freshman Year and have the kind of year that Matthew Stafford had his freshman year for UGA.

BuLLdawg provides him with the cold hard facts yet atl-xmen is to far gone to see it. After reviewing all of his posts its obvious Atl-xmen is some sort of dope-fiend, crack head, Acid tripper that needs a serious intervention. He refuses to face reality even though BuLLdawg so graciously puts it all right there in front of his face.

I think we’ve all seen Logan Gray and at least starting one of the younger QB’s is going to give Richt some cover next season. He’ goes with Gray and has another 7 & 5 season and things are going to start getting pretty dicy in Athens.

Your near future absolutely lies with A. Murray. Judging from his sr. year in HS when he won state coming off a broken leg (or arm?). He seems to know how to win, and that is one of those “intangibles” you can’t teach. Just prepare yourself for another down year to your standards and look to the future.

If Gray is the starter for UGA this fall, it will be Mark Richt’s swan song. With all due respect to Loagn, he is simply not big enough and not accurate enough to lead this team to 9 or 10 wins, the minimum it will take to keep Mark Richt in Athens. Murray will be the starter unless Mettenberger has some skills we don’t know about.

This is the 10th year of this Coach Richt Era, and you say that the reason why we LOST 3 games against teams UNRANKED in the Final AP Poll Top 25, another LOST game to a team who is ranked but who beat no one in the Top 25 Final AP Poll, and LOST to a team who was slaughtered by Alabama is that we didn’t have 3 Juniors and 6 Sophomores on the Offensive Line last year. Whose fault is that ? Mine ?
Presumably we ALL have to tell everyone that UGA has been better than Florida in the Coach Richt Era. That you are NOT going to allow anyone to say otherwise. Sorry, I do not find that supportive of The Georgia Bulldogs’ Football Program. I find it the statement of blind idiots. We are simply not who you say we are. We have not been who you say we are. In a 14-game seasons nowadays we average 10 wins. We are 3-8 vs Top 10 SEC Final AP Poll teams in the entire Coach Richt Era. We are 17-19 vs Top 25 Final AP Poll teams in the entire Coach Richt Era. We have LOST 8 games vs teams UNRANKED in the Top 25 Final AP Poll. We fumbled the football 23 times last year and threw another 17 interceptions along with 105 Penalties. We do the same thing EVERY YEAR. atl-xmen you have more excuses than a Pregnant Nun.

3 OL recruited 2008 by Coach Richt 1 again not considered great coming in.
8 OL recruited 2007 by Coach Richt 2 are JUCO gone now, 2 more from Hargrave Military School with grades issues of which 1 got a snap in only 2 games all season last year Harden, another who is ranked # 71 in the country who misses run block after run block, another who has taken a snap in only 14 of 39 games since he was recruited and didn’t play all of those 14 games in other words took a snap in less than a third of the games since he was recruited, another not considered that great who has only seen a snap in 13 of the 39 games and only started 3, another Chris Little who never took 1 snap not 1 and left the program the same week Coach Richt announced 2 others had left for off-field arrests/suspensions of which Coach Richt has had WAY TOO MANY OF, and so there you have your salvation, your great OL line class of 2007. Of the 8, only 5 remain and then you redshirted 1 of the 3 from 2008 giving you 6 Juniors this coming season on the OL. Now, you know who they are.
5 OL recruited by Coach Richt 2006 and yet we only have 3 Senior OL this coming season. Of the 5 one was ranked better than # 90 in the country. 1. And, of course Boling was arrested/suspended for the Opening Game the year before last.
1 OL recruited by Coach Richt 2005 Ian Smith who was not considered that great.
2 OL recruited by Coach Richt 2004 and 1 of those 2 was not considered that great, never got a start for UGA took a snap in only a couple of games and then quit the program after just 2 years.
What in the hell did you expect to have happen with this kind of recruiting 10 years into the Coach Richt Era now with this chronic recruiting for the OL.
I come in here and say how poorly we have done at recruiting consistently for the OL for every year since 2001 when Coach Richt started this lack of OL at UGA a recurring them never-ending. And, you ? You run in here and spin that into we didn’t have a good OL last year.
D.A. That is what I have been saying all along, only you use it as an EXCUSE.

So now, he just doesn’t schedule them anymore. Meyer likes to play teams like Charleston Southern, Troy & Fla Intl. He has a lot of confidence in his coaching skills.

Logan is a great guy with a good attitude. I’m a little concerned he couldn’t over take Cox to play QB for our team last year. Joe Cox would not start at most SEC schools. That being said, What did the coach’s see we didn’t. Your back up fielding punts is a little unusual. I think, based on history, he’ll get a fair look, but I’ll really be PO’ed if we sit a better QB because Gray has ” waited his turn”.

had more than 40 snaps in 2009. Patrick you know nothing, he was 36-48 in passing
alone. Florida is normally about 50- 50 with the pass and run, so I would estimate
he had 80-100 snaps. That would be 4-5 times the dawgs QBs.

This is the quote you were trying to site, I particularly like the comment that

7 TDs and 440 yards.
If you’re ever going to get to Florida, this is it with the phenomenal recruiting classes waiting in the wings. QB John Brantley has to live up to all the prep hype and be the NFL prospect that many consider him to be. However, he can be mediocre and the Gators will still likely win the East with a defense that remains loaded, and Tennessee in even more of an iffy phase and Georgia trying to figure out what it is.
Looks like more years of pain on the way. Here the link if you care to read it.

Seriously How2fish, I’m a Gator not a Yellow Jacket, we win SEC & NC’s in a real conference.

I like that fact that Brantley seems to have the tools but I’m sure he’ll take some time to adjust as all first year starters in the SEC do.
As it relates to Georgia, I’ll say what I’ve already said already. Richt is going to catch he#@ in 2011 when he looses 4-6 games, and it’s going to happen. It would make more sense to go with one of the RS freshmen to at least appease the fanbase for 2012 then waste any time with Gray. We’ve all seen Gray, Gray=Cox.

The only reason I see Gray as the long shot is because Cox was not having a great year and we didn’t see a change then. I think one of the freshmen will end up on the field. Which one I don’t know and really don’t care as long as they are the best to win games.

I am impressed with Grantham and the defensive coaching staff. They should win it all in 2010. Gators will be back in 2012.

Its sort of a tribute when a moron steals your name to post drivel…I have never picked a UGA team to be NC…not even in 1980…not that I don’t hope we might but I’d never bet on it.

Am I the only person who watched the couple plays Logan Gray played at QB last year. He is absolutely awful! I mean really really bad. And I don’t get why he is seen as benig so athletic. If he was so athletic we would play him somewhere else other than on our safe punt return team where all he ever did was fair catch the ball. So it comes down to Mettenberger and Murray. You guys know exactly who Mettenberger is. Another Joe T. Average at best. Both are from the athens area. Both have family who work in the football office. And both were ranked pretty similar coming out of high school. If we want to be really good we will go with Murray. If we want to play it safe and rely on D and running the football then Richt and Bobo will start Mettenberger. Which will be a shame because Murray is a really good QB. But that seems to be what we like to do at Georgia, play the safe player instead of the athlete. And then we all sit around and wonder why we don’t get the athletes that Florida gets. Our athletes are Logan Grey’s while there athletes are Percy Harvin.

The real issue that needs to be addressed is who is going to be UGA VIII! I don’t know why we don’t just make Russ the next mascot, he is undeafeted!

…..and this is useful, non-drivel, and well thought out?
I’ll try to conform to this template going forward.

Not sure what kind of starting QB Gray would make, but I would say he would get a lot more opportunities than the several impossible situations they put him in last year.
Wouldn’t Boykin, Smith, AJ Green, Ealey, Charles, Figgins, several linemen, All of whom played as Frosh, be good examples of playing the best athelete? There were certainly safer guys on the roster.

And why would starting Mett be safer than Murray? Seems to me the exact opposite if you are in fact going to rely on D and running game.

So he’s supposed to say what? Unless the author of this article is under instructions from Mark Richt, this is off season fodder desighned to fill in the off-season. Logan Gray = Joe Cox

Let me clear this up for all the Georgia fans out there. Our QB situation last year comes down to 3 guys (and none of them play for the Dawgs). Who? Bradford, McCoy, & Tebow. I think the UGA coaches all thought these guys were going to turn pro and Stafford would stay at UGA. But these guys decided to come back to school which left a huge pot of money out there for Stafford to retrieve (and he did). They didn’t get Grey ready to play because they didn’t think they’d need him. The same thing happened to USC. Sanchez jumped ship also. But you can’t blame them. Money talks!

After reading the blog for the past three days and all of the posts, nobody is mentioning what will be the most important factor in determining how successfull the Dawgs QB(and offense overall) will be this coming year.
If the Dawgs can carry the momentum over from last year in our running game, the offense will be successful no matter who the QB is.
Look at the MNC’s from the past four years; LSU, Florida and Bammer. Besides awesome defense, it was the running game that lead them.
These teams would establish a solid ground game, wearing out opposing defenses and setting up their passing games. When it was 3rd & 2 late in the game. What would those three teams do. Run Hester, Teabags and Mark Ingram up the middle. They knew it, their opponents knew it, the fans knew it, and they did it anyway and would convert the first down.
If UGA can establish their running game like they did the final four games of the season, the QB(whomever he is) won’t have as much pressure put on him. Later in the season Bobo can start to open up the passing game, even opening up a game passing out of play action.
I don’t know about yall, but i’m not comfortable putting the South Carolina(2nd game of the season) game in the hands of a red shirt freshman. Give the ball to Ealey and King and let them pound it.
That game at Tech last year was beautiful, starting the game running nine consecutive times(or whatever it was) leading to a scoring drive off of the 1st possesion. It sent a message; We’re going to hit you in the face and when you get back up, we’re going to hit you again!
call it ‘three yards and a cloud of dust’ if you want, but we all know that despite all of these challenging passing schemes out of spread formations, the running game is still wear its at.
Now, if we can just do something about that defense!

It doesn’t matter who UGA puts out there at QB—Florida’s ball hawking D will eat him alive and the florida O will roll up and down the field, as usual. Fla 43 Ga 19–take it to the bank.

While watching the US speed skater win the gold medal last night (by 18-hundreths of a second) over the South Korea guy, I couldn’t help but wonder if that would have qualified as a severe “a$$ kicking” or “beat down” if he had been from uga.
