Stats and more from Georgia ‘practice game’
ATHENS — “Georgia” beat “Louisiana-Lafayette” 38-24 in a practice game Wednesday in Sanford Stadium. Or was that 38-0?
UGA coach Mark Richt said he spotted the “Louisiana-Lafayette” team –- Georgia scout teamers impersonating the season-opening opponent — 21 points. And he gave the “Ragin’ Cajuns” another three points by counting a missed field goal as made.
Got that?
The teams played one half of football, with coaches trying to emulate game conditions as much as possible.
That included having the assistant coaches working from where they’ll be in real games -– Todd Grantham, Rodney Garner, Mike Bobo, Stacy Searels and Bryan McClendon at field level; Warren Belin, Scott Lakatos, Tony Ball and John Lilly upstairs in the coaches’ box.
The scrimmage was closed to the public and media, but Richt provided what he called “unofficial official” statistics afterward:
- Quarterback Aaron Murray completed 9 of 17 passes for 127 yards and one touchdown. He threw no interceptions. “He’s still learning,” Richt said. “It wasn’t real bad, but there were a couple of times he could have made a better decision.”
- Freshman QB Hutson Mason completed 5 of 10 passes for 69 yards.
- Caleb King had five carries for 36 yards and Washaun Ealey four for 31.
- Wide receiver Kris Durham had three catches for 78 yards and A.J. Green four catches for 40.
- Branden Smith had a punt return of 63 yards and a kickoff return of 31.
- Defensively, Darryl Gamble had eight tackles and Vance Cuff six.
Before the scrimmage, coaches named captains for the opening game. They are Shawn Chapas for the offense, Demarcus Dobbs and Cuff for the defense and Fred Munzenmaier for special teams.
Here are the statistics UGA provided (and remember, they’re “unofficial official,” meaning they’re incomplete and won’t add up in all cases):

UGA just corrected the stats (remember “official unofficial”) to show that it was Marc Deas, not Shawn Williams, with 11 tackles for the “Louisiana-Lafayette” side. Deas was wearing Williams’ number.

It’s telling that the only “unofficial official” stats that were stated were offensive stats. So a couple guys racked up some tackles on defense. If that’s all we can say we’re in trouble. I hate to be a doomsdayer, but I feel a repeat of last year coming on. Our offense will win for us whatever games we win this year. Our defensive unit might as well be from the Pac 10. Freshman QB…well in Murray we trust. The season really is on his shoulders.

It’s all over. UGA is finished. If by CMR standard Murray can’t play worth anything ( given CMR standards are VERY low) UGA will go 3-9, losing to tech by 20 and Florida by 30. UGA should just quit this season. I mean IF MURRAY SUCKS this badly with his own teammate how is he going to play south Caroline, you all heard it here: 3-9 season for UGA 2010.

Chuck Finley: The reason the receptions don’t equal the completions is, I think, not all receptions were recorded. According to CMR, neither Murray nor Mason threw an INT.

At least he didn’t throw an INT, but Murray’s numbers weren’t good. I have little doubt he will leave UGA as a really good qb, but right now he has a LONG way to go. He didn’t win the Elite 11 camp because he stunk, so he’ll get there. At leeast our running backs are good though.

SKB, you are a genius. I agree, we’ll go 3-9. I mean there’s no way we can’t get past Colorado, Miss State or Kentucky right?? If you actually believe we’ll be that bad, I feel sorry for you. Either you have been smoking a lot of crack or you are so obsessed with how UGA does that you’re just consumed with hate. Either way, you’re pretty screwed up and so I say your judgement means nothing.

Looking at the D stats, I don’t see Houston or Dobbs. Dobbs probably sat out with the ankle, but what about Houston? Is he dinged up or were they just trying to give the “LALa” offense a chance to get a play off?

Murray’s stats don’t look good, but thankfully we don’t have to have a good passing game to beat some teams (see GA Tech). If he doesn’t improve, though, Arkansas will kill us.

I’m a Vols fan, but I think UGA shouldn’t worry too much. Ealey and AJ will keep them in a lot of games, as long as Murray is an OK qb.

Why is everyone worried about Murray in a one half scrimmage? Looked like he did pretty good. Completed over 50% of his passes and one for a TD. I saw one earlier in camp where he completed about 60% of his passes for over 200 yards and 2 touchdowns. Do you think Mett would have done much better at this stage. Probably not.

Arkansas is not killing anybody. All of the media is pumping them up because of Mallet, but he doesn’t have anyone around him. We are playing a better form of defense this year and they have no defense like they did last year. I’m not worried about Arkansas at all.

Good Grief people, it was one half of a controlled scrimmage witth the team working on things and many starters not playingn(o-line, etc)..give it a rest on the passing stats and the calling this young QB names..how classy is is to call someone some of the names that Murray has been called regarding his height…Too many of you are caught up in the statistics…It was a controlled scrimmage to a point and i can promise you that the statistics have little to do with what the Coaching Staff is looking for..It is obvious by some of the absurd comments that are made by some on here that you have very little knowledge of football and i am being kind here with my words…How about for you guys that want to contiunue the negative comments to some of our players or team find another blog site or another team to support…You can spew out the comments regarding Murray all you want but this young man has impressed everyone he has been around from his High School Coaches to Scouts and yes Mr. Troy Aikman who thinks he is one of the finest elite QB’s he has seen…I could be wrong, Mr. Aikman probably knows a little about the game…

TuggDawg…No i don’t think they do…They are so caught in the statstics..Had Murray, went oh lets say 21 -26 with 3 touchdowngs passing and running then alot of people on here would be saying he may be the “greatest QB the dawgs have ever had and we should go undefeated…Don’t get caught up in the preseason statstics. please…The dawgs will be good, don’t know what the record will be but coming from some people who do have some inside knowledge on just how talented this team can be is exciting…How the season pans out is going to be avoiding some key injuries and how quickly the defense comes together…

As long as Murray had no interceptions , I’m ok with the passing performance. If we didn’t have any of the 1st or 2nd team players fumble the ball then that would be such an improvement from last years team it would be something to celebrate. Also, if there were officials calling the game I want to know how many penalty’s there were. UGA had 5 losses last year and every one of those games they help beat themselves way more than average. I can accept a team beating UGA but don’t help your opponent with 100 yards of penalties, 3 or 4 fumble and 3 more pass interceptions.

Dual threat quarterback Aaron Murray had 1 carry sack, for minus 6 yards
This is because he is not fast; he is not going to run the football because he is too small, and because he can only be 1-dimensional.
There continue to a lot of lies on this topic to these blogs on this point. They disregard the fact that despite Buck Belue calling for Hutson Mason in Game 1 early on, our season is shot with an injury to a smallish guy playing quarterback as a freshman who missed practices when he got here because of his leg and ankle injuries, and then missed 21 practices last season in the Fall because he threw his arm out, and then of course Logan Gray held Mike Bobo and Coach Richt hostage this Spring making us still not get Aaron Murray ready splitting the snaps at # 1 with Aaron Murray and Logan Gray both. In this situation, only an idiot poster with some AGENDA would even venture that diminutive Aaron Murray is great at running the football.
I see Washaun Ealey AGAIN, as at every game and as at every Scrimmage all Spring and now all Fall (over) out-performed Starter Caleb King.

dawgster,
They already have been in here comparing Drew Brees to Aaron Murray, multiple times, and DEFENDING it in here too that they do.
That of course WITHOUT him going 21 of 26 for 3 TD.
If you have a problem with the comments about Aaron Murray not being ready, not being able to run the football, having missed so many opportunities to get snaps under center last year and this year, and about not just his height but his size and strength, I suggest sir that that is you wanting only to hear the kool-aid.
He is small. It’s a fact. Why pick on someone calling it like it is ? Oh, I see there is only person saying that, so if you tell that 1 guy not to, what ? That 1 guy will kowtow to your wishes ? Hey dawgster, how is that going by the way ?

Oh, yeah, and let’s all get our EXCUSES hats properly on our heads :
(1) injuries
(2) new coaching staff
(3) new defense
(4) inexperienced qb and back-up qb
(5) they shut down our running game so qb had to beat them
(6) bad luck
(7) it’s the fault of the Police
(8) bad officiating
(9) new starters on Defense
(10) the players suspended couldn’t play no fault on their part
(11) we have a nice guy for a coach
(12) rather that than have Nick Saban
(13) better to Pray than Prey
(14) fans should not boo play calls at Sanford Stadium
(15) fans should only say kool-aid posts, or just leave
(16) wait til next year (after we lose 15 seniors 4 juniors)
(17) we will beat Florida with deck stacked against our boys
(18) we didn’t have in-door practice facility
(19) we weren’t in shape, but now we will get in shape

Hey did anyone notice the drop-off from the # 1 team vs those buried on the depth chart ? I suppose you cannot read too much into that, either, eh dawgster ?

murray had 2 overthrows early, when he was still nervous, but then calmed down and starting hitting people accurately and safely. murray also got flushed out of the pocket on a screen play, and instead of throwing it out of bounds, tried to scrmable and got sacked. So 3 minor poor decisions, all need to be repped and corrected.

Many are posting comments on “official “……”unofficial ” stats for the scrimmage. Just remember folks, everyone reads these blogs………Do you really think coach Mark Richt is going to tell the enemy anything ?………………..And another thing………12-2, you fool, the only way you can compare Aaron Murray to Drew Brees is put a tape on both of them. From what information is available on the two QBs………They both stand 6ft 1in. How hard is that for you to understand 12-2 ?…………….and please change your name back to ” BuLLdawg “……..and be honest with us.

The question is how did this Murray kid ever got rated so high during recruitment, it blows my mind. All he has ever done is get injured, even in plant HS missed half of the games in his senior year bc of injury. Yet CMR has no idea of a backup. UGA is a free loss, I see no other way around it. You got a new defense, a joke for a QB, no backup (Logan Grey playing wide receiver?) how can a team be in a worse shape than the current UGA team?
