Read all about it: the aftermath of Georgia’s loss to Arkansas (updated)

(Updated 10 p.m. Sunday)

A roundup of the AJC’s coverage of Georgia’s loss to Arkansas:

My game story, which notes the calendar seemed turned back:

ATHENS — It felt a lot like 1993 in Sanford Stadium on Saturday.

For the first time in 17 years, Georgia lost to Arkansas. For the first time in 17 years, the Bulldogs dropped to 0-2 in the SEC.

Georgia tried to avoid this daunting hole by rallying from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to tie the game 24-24 with about four minutes to play, but the Dogs’ defense, which twice earlier had allowed easy touchdowns on blown coverages, committed another gaffe at the end as Arkansas clinched a 31-24 victory.

Jeff Schultz’s column, which notes Georgia’s 2-6 record in its past eight SEC games:

ATHENS – It’s not about one player not being here. It’s not about playing a freshman quarterback or having a certain soft spot on the depth chart or the big, bad NCAA being out to get Georgia.

When a program sinks to lows not seen since the Ray Goff administration, it’s not an aberration.

Andy Johnston’s sidebar on what the heck happened on those three Arkansas TD passes:

ATHENS — Ryan Mallett’s three touchdown passes were remarkably similar in Arkansas’ 31-24 victory over Georgia on Saturday. On all three, his receivers were wide open, leaving Bulldogs defenders and coaches searching for answers to the breakdowns.

Andy Johnston’s sidebar on what the heck happened on those six sacks of Aaron Murray:

ATHENS — Mike Bobo didn’t place all the blame for Georgia’s offensive problems on the offensive line.

He said the six sacks in Arkansas’ 31-24 victory Saturday were a combination of poor play from an offensive line that missed injured starting guard Chris Davis and of redshirt freshman quarterback Aaron Murray taking too much time in the pocket.

My notebook from the game, including Michael Adams’ comments on the A.J. Green case and football arrests, plus other items:

ATHENS — University of Georgia president Michael Adams said Saturday the school did everything it could to get star wide receiver A.J. Green’s suspension reduced, but Adams did not quarrel with the NCAA’s rejection of the appeal.

. . . On another topic, Adams said he spoke to “every employee” of the Athletic Association in a recent staff meeting, delivering the message that he wants a stop put to the off-field problems on the football team. Nine players have been arrested this year.

Andy Johnston’s report on Mark Richt’s Sunday conference call:

. . . Arkansas’ six sacks were a combination of the offensive line breaking down, poor protection from the running backs and Aaron Murray hanging onto the ball too long.

“I don’t want to throw out anything that would sound like dirty laundry or anything on these kids,” Richt said. “[The blame] was spread out across the board. It wasn’t just one culprit.”

The AJC’s weekly feature looking back at the past  game and peeking ahead to the next, which is Saturday at Mississippi State:

Mississippi State, like Georgia, is on a two-game SEC losing streak after opening the season with an easy victory. Coach Dan Mullen’s quarterbacks –- starter Chris Relf and backup Tyler Russell -– combined to throw five interceptions in Saturday’s 29-7 loss to LSU. Mississippi State trailed just 12-7 in the third quarter, but the Tigers scored the final 17 points. Mullen said LSU’s average starting field position was Mississippi State’s 48, thanks to the five interceptions. He added that Relf will start against Georgia.
