The UGA notebook: Vance Cuff’s 40 time is something to write home about (UPDATED)
Good morning from Destin, where SEC athletics directors and coaches begin four days of meetings today. (I’ll be tweeting from the meetings, so please follow @ajcuga on Twitter for news, notes and anecdotes.) Before turning to the business of the SEC, let’s run through a few UGA items that have accumulated:
- Georgia cornerback Vance Cuff tells his hometown newspaper, the Moultrie Observer, that he ran the 40-yard dash this spring in 4.24 seconds, the fastest ever recorded by a UGA football player. Now, granted, 40-yard dash times aren’t exactly the most reliable records in the world of sports. But a 4.24 clocking is definitely something to write home about. “It hasn’t soaked in yet,” Cuff told the Moultrie paper. Check out the story here. (UPDATE: Mark Richt confirmed today that Cuff did, indeed, run a 4.24. Richt said he saw it.)
- Remember Bill Gullickson, the former major-league pitcher? Went 162-136 in 14 seasons with the Expos, Reds, Yankees, Astros and Tigers in the ’80s and early ’90s. His daughter is Chelsey Gullickson, the Georgia sophomore tennis player who won the NCAA singles championship Monday.
Bradberry
- Rex Bradberry, who had worked with Georgia’s strength and conditioning program as an intern and a graduate assistant, is now a full-time staffer and will serve as the football team’s nutritionist -– a new position. Bradberry earned his Ph.D. in Kinesiology at UGA this spring, with research interests in injury prevention, nutrition and speed development. He is a former Georgia walk-on player under Jim Donnan.
- Georgia’s softball team travels today to Oklahoma City, its second consecutive trip to the College World Series. The Bulldogs (48-11) open against defending national champion Washington (50-7) at 9:30 p.m. Thursday on ESPN2.
- And if you missed it, Phil Steele said the Georgia football team “could very well run the table” this year.

Stockdog, I think you’re right, but still a little off on the 40 time. I’d say he ran a 4.2875 or possibly a 4.2773.

Richt raved about Vance all summer. He’s going to be Georgia’s shutdown corner, he shut down AJ all summer long. Georgia doesn’t play anyone that has a great #2 WR besides Ark, so if cuff can develop into a shutdown corner, really opens some things up. He’s the key to the defense.

So, he’s entering his 5th and final year, and still looking for his first interception? Maybe it’s his bone-jarring tackles that are to be feared, but at 177 lbs, guess that’s not it either? Oh well, I bet he looks good running onto the field fast!

Wasn’t B. Evans considered the fastest guy on the team while he was at UGA? Speed’s great, but gotta be a football player, too. I just can’t get the replay of Bebe stiff-arming him and then outrunning him for a 75 yd TD last year.

Deoin Sanders could F-L-Y at 4.29 in the 40.
Vance Cuff’s 4.24 wasn’t clocked officially like Deion’s, but if it was even off by 1/2 a seond, that’s still Deoinesque speed.
And yes, Cuff’s skills are superb–he shut down AJ Green all Spring.

Cuff & Boykin got most improved Spring players on defense. They will be very, very good under Lakatos, his corners at UConn were in the top 10 for pass effiency. Lakatos also shut down South Carolina’s passing game in the Bowl game, which Florida coud not do.

The forty times, imo are overrated. Bryan Evans was clocked at 4.26 a few years ago and he couldn’t cover Hairy Dawg. Has to be smart and be able to tackle. I just hope he’s improved enough to where he won’t try and tackle a guy like D. Thomas from Tech at the shoulders. I still think Branden Smith may be the fastest player in the open field. Looking forward to kickoff.
Countdown- 96 days to go!!!

The 40-yard dash time is one of the most unreliable and irrelevant indicators of a football player’s success. If you’re having to print meaningless stuff like this to pump up the UGA fans, then things are pretty bad.
Nothing is going to improve football at UGA until CMR is replaced with a winning coach. Charlie Strong is out there just waiting for the $$$ to be offered.
Richt is to UGA as Paul Hewitt is to Tech. In other words, he’ll be a big winner once every ten years or so, and only when the talent he has has already been coached up before they get to college. That doesn’t happen very often, especially with a football team.
It’s definitely not going to happen at UGA this year. Florida will administer the usual beatdown on UGA, and even if UGA pulled off a miracle, they can’t get by Alabama.
So stop getting excited about silly stuff like 40-yard dash times.

You gotta have sick speed when running from the 5-0 in Athens. Anybody that believes he’s a 10th of a second faster than C.J. Spiller is an idiot. But then again this is a UGA blog. And someone on here did actually have to look up whether or not Herschel ran a 3.89 40.(as suggested by someone else on this blog, which most people realized was a joke) So the collective IQ isn’t exactly off the charts.. Gotta love Georgia fans talking about how fast their players are and how they are going to shock the world this year. Typical.

Lets all collectively drink from the AJC fire hose and win it all this year! Nothing can stop this diesel engine with a freshman QB and first year 3-4 defense. The other teams on our schedule should just forfeit the games now and save the embarrassment of losing to the Dawgs. With CMR at the helm we can’t lose- preseason that is. Plus, we’ve got the fastest player in America in Cuff. You haven’t heard squat about him yet but you this year! Wait to you see our defense this year! And some of these freshmen are going to be world beaters this year! And Murray will prove all the haters wrong this year by leading us to an SEC championship.
Do you guys realize how stupid this makes you look EVERY YEAR??

I really hate the run the table talk just like I hated the no. 1 and national championship talk. What’s the need for all the added pressure UGA fans let’s grow up and enjoy the season for the game, if you let a loss take away your joy of the game then dissappointment is always around the corner, of course I’ve played on some stinkers in my past so it’s a little easier for me. The great seasons always seem to come out of nowhere any way, along with some new faces we haven’t seen before.

Half the fans are saying UGA will be bad, 7 wins or less. Half the fans think 10 wins or better. So the correct answer is 8-4. This season reminds me a lot of 2006 when UGA was breaking in a new QB in Matt Stafford. Which means they will probably lose to some teams like Mississppi State or South Carolina, lose a close one to Florida, have a blowout win over an Arkansas or Auburn on the way to ending the season with a squeaker win over Tech. Dawgs will probably go to Outback or Chick-fil-A bowl to finish 9-4 or 8-5 overall.

His 4.24 was probably more like 4.64. That is still faster than NO SHOW’s 4.78.

Kids fast and has improved his skills by getting coached by real coachs(Grantham, lakatos,) Going to be nice to see how talent combined with great coaching turns this defense around.

Deoin Sanders could F-L-Y at 4.29 in the 40.
Quote: Vance Cuff’s 4.24 wasn’t clocked officially like Deion’s, but if it was even off by 1/2 a seond, that’s still Deoinesque speed.
And yes, Cuff’s skills are superb–he shut down AJ Green all Spring. End Quote
40 speed is very overrated IMHO. 1) how often does a guy run 40 yards in one burst? 2) I think vertical jump is a better sign of explosiveness. Most football moves are about that burst or explosiveness. 3) If the time is off by 1/2 sec, then he would be a very slow DB (that would be a 4.74 40===something you want your linemen running).
If he has those physical skills, then he is a huge disappointment. Of course many people can run a straight line fast, lift a lot of weight or jump high and not make a very good football player.

Strength and Conditioning, Nutrition? What a bunch of idiots! Start Sturdivant at Left tackle, Cordy Glenn At Left Guard, Chris Burnette at Center, Bean Anderson at Right Guard and Josh Davis at Right Tackle. What a group of morons for coaches. Sheesh. Just do what Florida does and you should be ok. LOOK: LT- Marcus Gilbert LG- Carl Johnson C-Mike Pouncey RG- Muarice Hurt (from Milledgeville) RT- Xavier Nixon. It’s so simple unless there’s another problem not related to football. And of course there is, it’s UGA isn’t it? That OT from Moultrie is crazy if he goes up there to play behind Kolton Houston. He needs to set up right next to Chance Warmack to continue our tradition of Georgia kids making up the left side of the Crimson Tide Offensive front. Thank you Coach Richt, Thank you coach Bobo, and most of all thank you UGA supporters for your years of prejudice. Roll Tide, Tide Roll!

Did I just read a post by an Alabama fan talking about racism???? You tools need to learn how to stop throwing stuff on the field when you lose before casting stones… If you don’t remember in that little pea brain of yours, Sturdivant has been hurt the last 2 seasons dipsh!t.
PS- Your program is historically cloaked in scandel. The most corrupt program in the nation. You have no room to talk.

Hey Cuff’d and Stuff’d…..
Yes, there are some pretty dumb comments on this blog. But how can you talk about the UGA fan’s IQ without mentioning the “brilliant” GT students who nearly blew themselves up doing a “high school chemistry experiment”. Wow, now that is impressive!

wiredawg, at least its students blowing themselves up at GT and not professors shooting each other or themselves.. Now back to the article about the world’s fastest man, Vance Cuff. Vance who? And how was this mythical 40 timed? Don’t think anybody has mentioned that.. Reminds me of some of those 40 times you heard about in high school- “yeah, I ran a 4.2 the other day. My dad timed me..”
Most delusional fanbase ever. And its not just GT fans that realize that..

Cuff’d and Stuff’ed, you’re right. At GT most of them get mugged on the way to class or dorms. But at least they have that beautiful campus going for them! Haha.
On Vance Cuff…obviously he was hand timed, just like all the other college players’ times you hear about. When these guys get to the combine, their times go up because it is done electronically and is very presise. But use your head, you have to have something to compare the other timed results with. All anyone is saying is that he is the fastest ever hand timed at UGA, and he has showed a lot of improvement this spring.What is your issue here, other than football program envy? And don’t talk about delusional fans, when the GT nerd fan base hyperventilate for a year like they won the national championship just because they beat UGA once every 8 to 10 years…wow, very sad.

At UGA students get mugged by players on their way to campus. At GT we are excited because we have the best coach in the state who actually has a pair. And at least we don’t talk about how good we’re going to be every preseason. We leave that to the UGA fanbase. Its not just Tech fans laughing at your lofty expectations every year, either, its pretty much every other fanbase in the southeast.
By the way, Paul Johnson is 1-1 against your Dawgs. Hope springs eternal for us GT fans. I’ve got amnesia when it comes to the Gailey years..

At UGA we are so used to 10+ win seasons, we expect it. Anything less is unacceptable. Hence, the lofty expectations. At GT you nerds keep hoping and praying that one day, in your life time, there might be back-to-back 8+ win seasons; but no matter what the record, a win over UGA makes the season successful and you buy the team rings to commemorate it. You techies have amnesia when it comes to a lot of things. That’s the only way you could continue to be GT fans.
And by the way, we only buy rings for championships. Watch and learn.
