Murray matches a Shockley record; Richt vs. O’Leary in Liberty Bowl?
Cleaning out the notebook before departing the blog for a brief vacation:
- I mentioned a couple of days ago that Aaron Murray needs just one touchdown pass in Georgia’s bowl game to match Matthew Stafford’s single-season school record of 25. What’s more, as Will Brown of Athens pointed out to me and UGA confirmed, Murray already has matched D.J. Shockley’s UGA single-season record of 28 touchdowns accounted for. Murray, like Shockley in 2005, has thrown for 24 and run for four. Pretty impressive rookie season, to say the least. (Click here for more on Murray’s season for the record books.)
- Mark Richt, speaking on his radio show Monday night about Marlon Brown’s recovery of a Brandon Boykin fumble on the kickoff return following the Georgia Tech touchdown/missed PAT that cut Georgia’s lead to 35-34: “That might have been the biggest play of the game for Marlon Brown to recover that fumble.”
- As I mentioned Sunday, Georgia’s expected Liberty Bowl appearance would bring an interesting storyline — the opposing coach. Either Central Florida’s George O’Leary, the former Georgia Tech coach, or SMU’s June Jones, the former Atlanta Falcons coach. O’Leary was 3-4 vs. Georgia as Tech’s head coach from 1995 through 2001. Jones’ Hawaii team lost to Georgia in the Sugar Bowl following the 2007 season. Central Florida and SMU meet Saturday for the Conference USA championship and Liberty Bowl berth.
- Georgia ended the regular season ranked No. 18 in the nation in turnover margin – a 100-spot improvement from last year’s No. 118. The Bulldogs are plus 10 in turnovers this season, compared to minus 16 last season.
- Todd Grantham on Justin Houston’s stay-or-go choice: “He can be one of the most dominant players in college football next year if he chooses to do that. If he doesn’t, then he’s obviously going to be a guy who’s going to play at the next level and he’ll just continue to get better.” Grantham said he doesn’t know if Houston will return for his senior season or enter the 2011 NFL draft. “We’ll just see as we move forward what’s best for him,” Grantham said, “and we’ll kind of go from there.”
- Players will lift weights and run this week, but Richt said bowl practices won’t begin before next week. The bulk of Georgia’s bowl practices will come after fall-semester final exams are completed on Dec. 15.

I love how the coaches are selling Houston on being one of the best defenders in the county (wasn’t he already a semi-finalist or finalist for this?), but don’t mention that about A.J. Hate to see Green gone, but that’s the easiest decision I have seen in the college vs. pro in a long time.

Green and Houston are gone; but, But, the ole Southern Cal transfer and the 4.33 LB Samuel will be there. As for the offense, Murray is about to make Orson Charles a star. He is without a doubt the most accurate passer I have seen at UGA. Is it 24 to 6 TD’s to ints? And, the thing most people who put down Ga love to point out is, he is undersized..well, that size limitation will probably keep him in school, and away from the NFl til his senior year. Hope ya’ll enjoy three more years of number eleven.

So, the Liberty Bowl might not be upper tier, but I was just randomly in Memphis around New Year’s last year (last minute point at a map road trip), and it was quite nice. Great blues and BBQ, and with all the tourists downtown and on Beale, it felt safe. The MLK civil rights museum at the old Lorraine Motel was definitely worth a visit. So, don’t discount the destination just because the bowl isn’t one of the biggies. Drivable distaqnce, and WAY better than Charlotte/Nashville/Birmingham/Shreveport.

I know it seems a foregone conclusion that AJ will leave but I sense this kid made a mistake that he does not want to live with. He owes the Georgia Nation one full year of his talent. We have been there for him throughout his career. I know it is all about the $$ but at some point some gifted kid like this will rise up and be the next Tebow with his school.

going back to the game, I keep hearing from tech fans that if blair doesn’t miss that field goal, GT would of won. let me clear the air for you tech fans(know you trolls will be on this blog sooner or later), After the worst kick ever, UGA took the ball and drove down the field. We were in field goal range and decided that we should go for it to waste some time. it turned out to be a bad call and we turned the ball over. had blair made the kick we would of kicked a field goal instead and we would of taken the lead. Our KO coverage had been pretty good all night and would prob stop Tech at the 25 or so. my point, the kick didn’t cost tech the game. tech got the ball back with the chance to win the game but since they lack a decent passing attack that wasn’t happening as the dawgs CRUSHED that attempt. then we score(nice call by johnson). tech has a chance to tie but as i stated before tech’s passing attack is awful and we stopped them again. See tech fans, you had two chances to win and tie the game, you did neither. We won stop acting like yall should of won. Hey Saint Simons 42-34 suck on that for a year. oh and one more thing, WE STILL RUN THIS STATE!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, before we make fun of kids leaving early for the pros, lets think about when we were college juniors. If at some big job fair, some company had offered you a job at a million dollars a year and said you could retire in 10 years, we would all have jumped on it. Not many people get college degrees for educational edification anymore, it’s to be competitive in the job market, and MOST of us really only work to make money. So, these top tier kids get offered a multimillion dollar job/contract with maybe half the money up front guaranteed…it would be crazy not to take it.

as a live country music fan, i don’t think Memphis is better than Nashville. Lots of places there to go have a beer and listen to some good music…the NFL made a pretty big announcement, looks like they’re getting ready for a lockout….if you would have told me we would be number 18 in TO ratio and our freshman QB would have a record breaking year back in August, i would have said we’d be playing in Atlanta this weekend…something still just doesn’t add up.. i just really hope Bean Anderson and Geathers can make a huge difference next year on the DL. that’s where i say our biggest issues are. Kelin Johnson said it best, a 3-4 don’t work against a good ground game..

Personally I think if their ball hog #1 QB had played they would have lagged behind by 14 points. The best thing that happened to them was to play the other QB. Dont kid yourself. Nesbitt can always be counted on to drop the ball or call his own number.

Whoa Nelly! Barring a certain lockout in the NFL, A.J. Green is as good as gone, and brother he will be sorely missed. Murray is a special talent, but just who is he going to throw to next year? Couple that with two mediocre running backs, and our comparatively easy record is about the only thing we have going for us. I’ve been a fan since the Richard Appleby to Gene Washington play that killed the Gators, but next year looks like more of the same old same old. In other words, 7-5 or maybe 8-4. It just takes too long to turn a battleship around.

pray for a lockout. green is gone, houston probably is, and boykin might be. if houston and boykin come back, we’ve got a fighting chance to have a pretty good defense next year…
but jackbull is right: the major problem on defense is the lack of a true nose guard. bean and kwame have got to step up next year and clog the middle, or we’re going to have trouble with the running game again. i do like the idea of jarvis jones and richard samuel joining robinson and dowtin (who really came on at the end of the year) at ILB.

Can’t even begin to predict anymore who stays and who goes. I stopped guessing on this after Knowshon left. He seemed to thoroughly enjoy the college experience but the money was just too much. I personally feel the rules need to change though. If you’re given a 4 year scholarship and then leave early, the scholarship money gets paid back.

At a lost for words on how disappointing the season has been for UGA.
1. The 3/4 defense was new – and it showed ….. and still shows.
– maybe slight improvement on pass defense.
– do not see any improvement in run defense.
Put it this way – given the same situation today – as we were going into the 4th quarter against SC or MS ST – would we see a different outcome? I am not so sure. Those teams controlled us and ran it down our throats. Even Colorado was successful.
2. Even though UGA’s staff knew the 3/4 defense was a work in progress – the Offensive game plan was built around “protecting” Aaron Murray.
Meaning – let’s go conservative for the first half of the season.
So let me get this right – we knew our defense was going to be an issue – so we decided to go conservative on the Offensive game planning – behind an OL that was pretty much average at best.
The results speak for themselves:
1-4 – with losses to South Carolina, Arkansas, Mississippi State and COLORADO ……yes – frigging COLORADO – the worst B12 team out there.
Thank GOD Tennessee sucked this year.
The worst Florida team in a decade – and we could not beat them.
Hindsight maybe 20/20 – but frigging common sense on the Offensive game plan would have at least won us a couple of games.
– Where were the screens?
– Where was the T/E drags and 10/15 yard out patterns?
– Where were the wheel routes?
– If anything – we are decent at pass protecting.
During Richts best years – it seems that we passed to set up the run.
I am disgusted with a 6-6 record.
I am disgusted with yet another defense that gave up 6 games of 30 points or more.
We were a better team last year with Coach Martinez and our pitiful turnover ratio.
I will always root for UGA – and Richt’s leash needs to be short – extremely short in 2011. Ray Goff had a 9-3 and 10-2 record in back to back years – but turned into a 5 – 6 win coach.
Richt had an extra game this year to get his 6th win – without the buy a win – UGA would be 5-6. Unacceptable.
Hey – I WANT Richt to be successful – but he has been passed by as he became a CEO coach.
And we finished 8th best in the SEC this year – 3rd in the SEC East.
In 2009 – we had the same SEC East record as Tennessee – but lost to them head to head. Kiffin beat us ……KIFFIN!!!
Like I said – I WANT Richt to be successful – but if 6,7,8 wins is all that he can give us – then we need to change up the leadership and give another promising young coach an opportunity. We certainly are not beating Florida with Richt, we certainly are not winning the SEC East with Richt, we have lost the national respect he built up over the last 3 years.
Bear Bryant had 3 bad years:
– 1968 – 8-3 – no big deal – but BAMA was used to better.
– 1969 – 6-5 – not good
– 1970 – 6-5-1 – Bama was ready to part ways – but was patient
Then in 1971 – Alabama went 11-1.
We suck

JDAWG – I hear what you are saying about AJ staying at UGA – but he does not owe us anything.
College players have 3 years and can go pro – he has given us 3 years.
Yes – he missed games due to injury last year – but that is football.
Yes – he was suspended for 4 games this year – but he broke the rules.
But not having AJ in those first 4 games is not why we started 1-4.
Heck, we had AJ in the Colorado game – and still could not beat a crappy COLORADO team.
Having AJ would have helped – but the issues at UGA are many.
If AJ can go in the first and second round – then he needs to go.
Leaving for the NFL is the best thing for him and his family. It also gives an opportunity for another receiver at UGA to step up.
While I hate it when good talent leaves our team after 3 years – the plus side of that is that we had that player for 3 years!!!
Hear what I am saying?

I actually feel like Mike Bobo and Mark Richt were OVERLY cautious about breaking in the Freshman QB at the beginning of the season.
Then when AJ has his punishment handed to him, that made them even more cautious.
This coming offseason, the playbook will get a MAJOR makeover, to accomodate the QB we know we have. All we read about this past Summer was how Murray will in NO-WAY be ready to face the SEC. Any that got in the heads of our coaches.
Look for an ALL AROUND record breaking season for the Sophomore QB next year.

I disagree that that AJ owes us fans anything. I mean look how many people turned their back on him about the Jersey. All the calls on this blog to have him kicked off the team as an “example.” And the Fans only support these kids as long as they are the flavor of the month. Look at the roller coaster support for Washaun and Caleb. They only love you when you are doing something that benefits them. So these Kids need to get what they can while they can. Because the majority of the Fans could give a rat’s @ss about them.
WIth that being said I hope he stays but I don’t think he owes us anything.

That proves my point. If Stafford had Murray’s receivers UGA would have won two national championships. All I can remember of the Stafford years is the announcers and press after each game making it a point to say how many passes that hit our receivers in the hands and were dropped. UGA had the worst receivers that have ever been at UGA back when Stafford played. With Murray’s receivers Stafford could have had 500 yards passing a game, plus a great running game.

I think its interesting to note that in what will be a school record breaking year for Murray considering the bowl TDs, that our W/L record in no way reflects this remarkable achievement. Think what the numbers could possibly have risen to minus the stupid turnovers by the backs – who knows the TDs could have gone to the backs. The turnover differential rose, also not reflected in the W/L column. And by most accounts the defense is statistically better. Its hard to conclude much from that other than costly mistakes at critical junctures in the game(s) will be reflected in the W/L column. And, it was. Wish Murray, Green, and possibly Crowell could play on the same field once.

AJ needs money bad enough to sell a jersey and you guys think he’s going to pass up millions. He is a certain top 10 pick, probably top 5. Why come back and risk injury for another year(when he’s already been injury prone) and why come back after the team has endured two straight very mediocre seasons? Who’s to say next year would be any different, even with AJ in the lineup starting in game 1? The first two games of the season will tell the tale.
I’m a UGA grad, but that’s the reality of the situation. Sadly, with AJ and Durham gone, Boise and SC are going to load the box to stop the run and Murray likely isn’t going to have enough talent at the receiver position to make them pay.

I disagree that that AJ owes us fans anything. I mean look how many people turned their back on him about the Jersey. All the calls on this blog to have him kicked off the team as an “example.” And the Fans only support these kids as long as they are the flavor of the month.
Well said. It’s also a reason why we miss on some recruits as well. Recruits read these blogs and what do you think they think about a program that has bi-polar fans who love you one minute but run you down the second you make a mistake. The funny part about all the so called “critics” is that at NO POINT in their lives could they even remotely come close to displaying the athletic ability of the average D-III player let alone SEC caliber players. But keep up all the b*tchin and moaning you’re defintely helping the cause!

Just wondering, but just because we’re ‘bowl eligible’ does that guarantee us a game? I mean didn’t pretty much every SEC team, other than Vandy and maybe Ole Miss (but I’m not sure about them) also qualify? Will we all go, regardless? Again, just wondering.
Also, if we do go to the Liberty Bowl, will that be the first time we’ve been there since Jim Donnan quarterbacked NC State over us in 66 or something?

I Could Have Put Some Lame Name Here
That is one of the reasons that CMR and UGA should always be considered highly by any recruit over schools like Fla. and Ala. CMR encourages the players to turn pro if it is in their best interest where Myers and Saban does everything they can to talk the player into staying their senior year. Last year was the first time that Myers couldn’t talk his underclassmen into staying.
Green should have been dismissed to let $1000 stand in his way of helping his team as much as he could in his last year at UGA. All he was thinking about was himself and to hell with the team. He cost UGA at least three games if not four. Murray was new and needed all the help he could get in the first four games and if we had Green playing his leadership would have helped . We would have won three of the four we lost plus Green would have been in full stride for the Colorado game and we would have won it. UGA’s season would have been totally different.
Auburn would have lost to Miss. State , Clemson and South Carolina if Cam Newton had missed the first four games. We counted on Green to be the go to guy this year and couldn’t because of the most selfish act that a player could have done, putting themselves ahead of the team .
Green should go pro instead of staying for his senior year, he doesn’t owe UGA anything and the only reason he should stay is because he loves UGA and wants to graduate. For any other reason Green would show how dumb he still is and didn’t learn a thing.

UGA would be unlikely to be left out because our fans have a proven track record of traveling well and spending money. That’s what the bowl committees look at first and foremost. It’s also why it’s important to support the team every year regardless of the bowl game because it does make a difference.

Some of you keep saying a lot of fans turned their back on AJ. I heard him say that in a new conference and the fans that are backing him up are showing just how immature and entitled his generation has become.
When we called for him to be dismissed from the team we are saying the mistake he made was unforgivable. I will never patronize someone that puts themselves ahead of their team and think they are entitled to have us act like nothing happened just because he sat out the first four games. We lost four of the first five games because of A,J, and don’t think he wasn’t that good or important to our program.
Nobody turned their back on AJ. I wish him the best in the pro’s and in life., I just don’t think he has the ethics and integrity that I expect at UGA.

Richt does not realistically tell players how tough the NFL is. Yes, they have talent but are usually not really ready for the NFL either in knowledge or physically. He should have told Stafford that he was going to get hurt playing at Detroit. Hines Ward is the best NFL receiver GA ever produced and AJ will not be better. AJ can not last one college season without being hurt. He does not have the body and may not ever to last in the NFL.

Bo

A Different Jim, how would CMR know Stafford was going to get hurt. First, he didn’t know where Stafford would play in the NFL. Secondly, any player can get hurt in the NFL or college at any time. That’s a main reason why college players leave early…they have to do a risk/reward analysis on whether to stay or go regarding their health and money.
However, I do concede your point on AJ’s durability. There is some question there but I don’t think that the NFL will see him as injury prone. He’ll be more protected in the pros than he has been in college because of the rules.
Typically, receivers fair better in the NFL (and get larger contracts) when they wait until they are seniors to go pro. I think AJ is the exception, though. He has the skill to get plenty of YAC and he runs pretty decent routes. I would love to see him stay but he’s going pro. I can’t say that I would do anything different.

“That proves my point. If Stafford had Murray’s receivers UGA would have won two national championships. All I can remember of the Stafford years is the announcers and press after each game making it a point to say how many passes that hit our receivers in the hands and were dropped. UGA had the worst receivers that have ever been at UGA back when Stafford played. With Murray’s receivers Stafford could have had 500 yards passing a game, plus a great running game.”
You aren’t serious with this statement are you?
Mohamed Massaquoi…58 catches 920 yds 15.9 avg 8 td’s (drafted 2nd round)
AJ Green…56 catches 963 yds 17.2 avg 8 td’s (future 1st rounder)
Knowshon Mareno…33 catches 392 yds 11.9 avg 2 td’ss (pk’d 12th overall in the 1st round)
Kris Durham…29 catches 451 yds 15.6 avg 2 td’s
Oh yea BTW, the lack of a running game resulted in Moreno rushing for 1,400 yds 5.6 avg and 16 td’s
Now for this year Green 49 catches, Durham 29 catches, Charles, 24 catches, King 23 catches, Brown 10 catches…this while the top rusher was Ealey w/ 141 carries for 751 yds, 5.3 avg and 11 tds

Bo,
If you had read comments from sports writers at the time, they suggested that Stafford could be seriously injured playing behind the Detroit offensive line. Sometimes you have to sit people down and tell them they are not as good as they think nor or they ready for the next level. This is not new news. It has happened to other “great quarterbacks” who joined bad teams. He could have pulled a Manning and demanded to go to a better team. Archie did not raise fools.

Murray will be a good QB at UGA for two more years. Just like Moreno, we wasted a year by redshirting him. But then we would not have been led by Joe Coxsenki the Fourth last year. Besides that year of experience would not have of made any difference in our 6 close losses this year.

He wishes to spend his retirement doing missionary work and spending time with his family. I don’t like this news at all, because I’m one who likes Richt as our head coach, and one for a long long time, but it’s just what i’ve heard.

Any of you thinking the only measure of a QB is td’s, yards, need to get a clue. #1 measure is wins/losses–measures his leadership. #2 is how he plays against winning teams. #3 is how he plays under pressure: 3rd downs, 4th quarter, red zone, 3rd and long, etc.
Murray fails all 3.
Can’t wait for Georgia to experience a REAL QB who does it ALL: TD’s, yards, wins, leadership, beats great teams, & clutch play.

Anyone who knows sports knows you don’t win or lose on 1 play. It’s a series of plays that makes or breaks a game.
Green is gone and if Houston is a 1st round pick he’s gone. Marlon Brown and King will have to step up next year as well as Charles. We have to run the ball better, period.

Marcus- while I agree with you that Lemay is a special talent and I am excited about him coming to Athens it will be hard to de-throne a QB who finished with a 162.7 QB rating 62% completion for 2500 yds and 24/6 as a freshman campaign. If not for Lattimore Murray would be winning SEC frosh of the year.
In short, Murray did everything possible for a QB to do to win games. He can’t run block, hit holes, and tackle.
Dan Marino was a HOF on a team that never won a championship. Does that make him the wrong choice at the QB position??

Would Hutson Mason have beat:
La Lafayette, when defense held to 7 points? Yes.
Vanderbilt when defense shutout? Yes.
Idaho State when defense held to 7? Yes.
Tenn when defense got 4 to’s? Yes.
Kentucky when defense got 4 to’s? Yes.
Ga Tech when defense got 4 to’s? Yes.
Mason would have likely beat Colorado too, they’re horrible.
Murray didn’t do ANYTHING Hutson Mason couldn’t have done better.
With the defense playing that well in those 6 games, any Georgia QB could have won those 6 games.
I credit the defense for the wins.

Mike Hartline of Kentucky has similar td’s as Murray, and similar records, both are 6-6, both don’t play well in clutch situations.
Marcus

Personal? Nah, I’ve said many times, Murray seems like a nice good kid with a REALLY (perhaps too much) optimistic attitude.
No doubt he’s 6-6, never beat a winning team, and one of the worst in the NCAA in passing accuracy on 3rd downs, in the 4th quarter, in the red zone, and on 3rd and 10.
And yes, when you’re that bad under pressure, you lose a lot of close games (Ark, Colorado, Florida, Miss St. and South Carolina come to mind).

With Hutson Mason, UGA wins against La Laf, Vanderbilt, and Idaho State because defense holds to 7 or less. Wins against Kent, Tenn and Ga Tech ebcause defense forces 3-4 to’s in each game.
Mason wouldn’t have played as poorly as Murray did, he would have completed some passes in the first quarter, not thrown 3 interceptions, and not fumbled. Georgia beats Florida in 2010 with Mason at QB.
Mason wouldn’t have handed off to King with a LB on a full blitz. Mason would have read and anticipated the blitz there. Georgia kicks field goal and beats Colorado.
Mason wouldn’t have got sacked at the end of so many games, like Arkansas, he would have moved the ball 20-30 yards at the end of the Ark game to win that one.
Mason would have thrown more than 1 long ball against SC & MSU, stretching the field, to force 8 out of the box. And own those games.
So 11-1 with Mason, 6-6 with Murray.

Marcus: you are at best dillusional. 11-1 with Mason? C’mon! Mason would have been sacked, just like Murray was in the games you mentioned. The fact is, the O line, even with all their experience, couldn’t pass protect, or open holes for the running backs, either. The bottom line here is Murray is the face, and the future of Georgia football. Matthew Stafford wasn’t all that when he was a freshman starter, but his sophomore year was when he started coming into his own as a QB. Time will tell if Murray is the guy, or not.

Note:
No, I’m not messing around with my posts. And I’m not picking a couple of 1 game stats. These are season long atrocities such as:
89th in red zone passing accuracy over the season
84th on third downs
99th on 3rd and 10+
last in NCAA in 1st quarter accuracy
#84 in 4th quarter passing accuracy
#71 in passing accuracy against teams with winning records
Your boy Murray needs to beat a winning team before we start comparing him to the Shockley’s of the world, Shockley went 9-3 in 2005, Murray went 6-6.
No, it wasn’t the O-Line’s fault. They pass protected great for Cox, and got Ealey & King plenty of yards (top 5) last 3 games of 09.
Just Murray. He can’t audible as well as Cox did, and teams stack 8 in the box against him. Those are why Georgia’s rush game dropped in 2010,.

Marcus: as I recall, Cox quarterbacked a 7-6 team as a SENIOR!!!! So, in your esteemed opinion, what’s the difference? Doesn’t seem THAT drastic to me! In fact, Cox lost to Kentucky as a starter, if memory serves me correctly. Not to mention Georgia got WIPED OUT by Florida & Tennessee. That said, what makes Cox better in your mind? It certainly can’t be all those audibles he was calling! The one thing Cox and Murray had in common is: both played on teams with ANEMIC defenses! There the similarities end.

Cox went 8-5, Murray’s 6-6.
Cox was top 20 in pass accuracy on 3rd and 10, Murray is last in the NCAA.
Cox was #53 in pass accuracy against teams with winning record. Murray is #71.
Cox also called bette run audibles, and was more of a deep ball threat. So teams rarely stacked 8 in the box.
Cox had rush offense in top 35, Murray dropped same O-Line and RB’s to #71.

Marcus, the funiest thing you’ve said (and you’ve said some funny crap!), is that you think you have proof and that you’re rational! Any RATIONAL person watching this season would know that, while his inexperience hurt him at times, Murray played exceptionally well this season, and was one of the few bright spots. I love the way you pick and choose ways to tear him down. You talk about Ealey, King, and the offensive line…the offensive line was clearly not playing at the same level as last year (not they they were all that great last year), and I would hate to see what you’d be saying about all of the fumbles by King and Ealey if you were scrutinizing them the way you do Murray. As far as Shockley goes, he had one of the best stable of running backs UGAs had at one time. The 3rd string running back could’ve been a starter on most other teams, and those teams didn’t need to rely on the pass the way they do now. I realize that my post won’t suddenly cause you to see that you’re the one being irrational and stop ripping on a great player and a great kid, (btw, questioning his leadership shows that you don’t know the 1st thing about leadership), but I figured I’d point out your hypocrisy on being rational.

Right on. I check out your stats, and they are amazing. I knew something was off, at 6-6, but culdn’t quite pinpoint it to Murray, because he did play well against weak teams, so his stats were skewed. Then when you borke it all down so clearly, the answer was so obvious. Clearly, all of the experts who said Georgia would struggle this year because of Murray were right. He really has been down right shockingly bad in many areas.

Got to admit, just about any Dog QB could have beat down Idaho State, come on Murray homers. Vanderbilt? Not much competition for a Dog QB. Lousisiana Lafayette? Any Dog QB wins that game. And when you look at how many turnovers the defense hung on Tennessee, Georgia Tech, and Kentucky, (was it a baker’s dozen?) any Dog QB could have won those 3 too. I havn’t seen Murray be the reason the Dogs have won a game yet, not even close.

Hutson Mason is an excellent QB. 72% accuracy, and is poised under pressure.
Only 8 QB’s in college football history have stepped up, in the red zone, on their first play as a college QB, and thrown a TD. Mason did.
That’s poise under pressure.
Mason is 4 for 4 in the red zone this season, 100% accuracy.

Marcus, you must be related to Hutson Mason. Go back and look at the 3rd and 2 and 4th down call down close to the endzone. The refs gave Murray a really bad spot. On third down it looks as if Ealey picked up the first down but the line judge from the far side put down his left foot to spot the ball and when he was given the ball to spot it moved and put it on his right foot. Look for it and check out the film.

Since dawgtards seem to love living in the past, how about remembering the Jan Kemp trial, which exposed UGA and Vince Dooley for the jokes that they were. My favorite quote from the trial was this one:
O. Hale Almand Jr., a lawyer for the defense, offered a justification for the favorable treatment accorded the athletes, citing a hypothetical player. “We may not make a university student out of him,” he told the jury, “but if we can teach him to read and write, maybe he can work at the post office rather than as a garbageman when he gets through with his athletic career.”
The best thing about the trial was that it completely killed Vince Dooley’s shot at Congress, since he was exposed as a fraud and a cheat during the trial. Make no mistake – Dooley knew everything that was going on.
Nothing has changed in the almost three decades since the trial. If anything, the abuses are even worse. Exhibit #1: Jim Harrick and son.
Today the players are even more illiterate and felonious and, well, just plain stupid, as evidenced by their arrest records and record number of penalties. Even Vince Dooley couldn’t have controlled this mob, much less Mark Richt. And now even the AD is a drunk debaucherer.
There’s a reason why UGA is known as The Cesspool of the South.

You’d have to think, out of the thousands that read this blog, since not 1 person has been able to refute John providing source, then John must be right. Murray is for sure the #1 passer in college on 3rd and 10

Think about the football team THUGA puts on the field. 96% of the players are academically provisionally accepted, with holier-than-thou Saint Mark Richt knowing full well that they will use up all their coaching and tutors and elligibility and then have their asses kicked out on the street and soon be pushing grocery carts around Atlanta looking for a warm place to sleep. What a pitiful way to run the State’s flagship university. It’s turned UGA into a big freaking joke.
I’ve never understood how anyone – even an alumnus – could support and take pride in UGA’s football team. When you look at their history for the past forty years, how can anyone ignore Jan Kemp and the “remedial studies” scam, the Jim Harrick fiasco, the DUIs in the athletic office, the DUIs and other arrests of players, the #1 party school tag (i.e., the most drunk students), the suspensions and outright dismissals, the Fulmer Cup, and on and on?
As disgraceful and humiliating as it is, I don’t see many alums and fans demanding an end to this sordid activity. It sets UGA apart as the kind of school most people abhor, and it’s become an embarrassment to the whole state of Georgia.
Will it never end? Apparently not while Mark Richt is at UGA. Richt is perhaps the biggest hypocrite in the United States. But even with all the cheating and lawlessness that he ignores, he still can’t win the SEC.
UGA, The Cesspool of the South.

For all of you Murray-ites, you don’t have a clue. Most people had UGA tanking BECAUSE of Aaron Murray, #1 reason. Listen to the experts. They knew he’d make a lot of mistakes, and he has.
At 6-6, safe to say, Murray didn’t exceed expectations.
Remember this pre-season assessment of Georgia & Murray? It was typical.

I prefer to use very old articles rather than recent stuff because recent ones will not help prove my point.

The reason Marcus never posts where he gets his stats from is because there isn’t a single website that posts or keeps stats at that detail (ie. 3rd down completion %). It doesn’t exist. The only place where you could get numbers like that are from the teams themselves. Coaches are the only ones that track specific plays in relation to down and distance, so even though the coaches on the teams don’t keep BS stats like completion % on 3rd down, they could go back and crunch the numbers and figure it out. Bottom line…Marcus is full of it!

Too much to ask that you might run in here bragging how YOU KNOW EVERYTHING that there is to know and NONE OF US have any clue where to even find how our OFFENSE did this season, 6-6 vs our Opponents and little Aaron Murray unable to beat ANYONE.
Official SEC WebPages, you don’t read these either ?
These show that Georgia is # 7 in The SEC alone (# 46 nationally) in 3rd Down Conversions.
3rd downs obviously are the most important down in college football, after you DO NOTHING the 1st two downs on Offense, and have to either GIVE UP like we do, or TRY to do something positive to gain the first down.
NOTE PLEASE also on this Official SEC WebPages for the entire season, including last night (NCAA & UGA WebPages URL Links above are also up-to-date as of this morning.) that
Aaron Murray’s OFFENSE is (right above 3rd down conversions)
FIRST DOWNS # 8 in The SEC in even getting a DAMN 1st Down.

I never claimed to know it all, just more than Marcus, and obviously more than you! You have done nothing but prove my point…those stats that you posted NEVER talk about 3rd down PASSING efficiency. They talk about 3rd down, but there is no distinction between 3rd and 2, and 3rd and 12. Show me in any of those stats where they break it down by quarter…Marcus’s does.

So according to you and Marcus, we have Aaron Murray snapping the ball to himself, blocking for himself, going out for a pass that he will catch from himself, taking a handoff from himself…oh and then there’s him trying to stuff the run on defense, and trying to break up a pass or possibly get an interception…GET IT?!!!
I have never stated that Murray has played perfectly, he hasn’t. But to sit there watching all that’s ailed the dogs this year, and to pinpoint Murray as the core problem? All that tells me is that you either don’t know football, or you have an agenda against the kid. There’s plenty of blame to go around. Yes, Aaron struggled against FL, and he’s made some mistakes, but he’s played BETTER, not worse, than expectations for a redshirt freshman. Where are Marcus’s or your stats showing how many times our running backs have been tackled behind the line of scrimmage or how many times Murray’s been hurried? Where are ya’lls stats showing how many times the RBs have fumbled this year once we got into the red zone? It’s a TEAM sport, but if you guys want to keep ripping on a kid whose proven to be a warrior and a baller and will probably be one of the best QBs in UGA history, then knock yourselves out. Anymore websites you want to post that prove my point?
