G-Day notebook: NG Kwame Geathers continues dominating play (UPDATED)
G-DAY NOTEBOOK:
Probably the biggest surprise of the spring has been the play of nose guard Kwame Geathers. The 6-foot-6, 341-pound sophomore had been largely written off after an unspectacular freshman campaign. But he went out and was named defensive MVP by the coaching staff for spring practice, then backed that up with four tackles — including two for minus-8 yards — in the spring game.
So what happened?
“He probably heard Big John Jenkins was coming into town to take his job,” Georgia coach Mark Richt said after the game. “That probably lit a fire under him.”
Jenkins is the 350-plus-pound JUCO All-American nose guard the Bulldogs signed to much fanfare out of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. It has been generally assumed Jenkins will win the starting role. Except, that is, by Geathers.
“It was motivating,” Geathers said. “I’m ready for him to come in. He’s going to help this team out. Even though he’s coming in to compete with me for a job, he’s going to help us as a team. But it did motivate me a good bit.”
Said Grantham: “I think he’s gotten better every practice.
Joe T provides real incentive for G-Day
As has been the tradition of the G-Day Game, members of the winning team gets a steak dinner while the losing team has to have beanie-weanies. But that meal actually wasn’t taking place Saturday night.
“I’m not sure when that meal is going to take place,” Richt said. “The real incentive is the winning team is probably going to be excused from one of Joe T’s workouts.”
Joe T is Joe Tereshinski, Georgia’s new strength and conditioning coordinator.
Christian LeMay delivers game-winning drive
Freshman Christian LeMay was impressive in leading the Black Team on the 75-yard, game-winning drive. But anyone who thinks that was a sign of an impending quarterback controversy for the backup role behind Aaron Murray might want to think again.
“I think Christian LeMay right now is only competing with the playbook,” Richt said. “Really you can’t play that position unless you know what you’re doing. I wouldn’t even say it’s a competition right now. In the fall, I’m sure it will become more of one.”
In that vein, Murray’s current backup Hutson Mason also had a good day and talked about how much more comfortable he felt Saturday than at any other time.
“Actually I’m really surprised I’ve caught on this fast,” said Mason, a sophomore from Marietta. “It seems like it just clicked for me. In the fall I was kind of rushed into things and didn’t really have much of a window to learn it. Now I feel like I know everyone’s position instead of just mine, which you have to know as the quarterback.”
Mason (6-3, 200) was 9-of-16 passing for 109 yards and threw an interception. LeMay (6-2, 200), a midyear enrollee from Matthews, N.C., finished with 38 yards on 3-of-6 passing and displayed a surprisingly strong arm.
Murray had a typically solid day: 12-of-17 for 122 yards and a touchdown.
Richt was disappointed with quarterback play
Richt said afterward he was disappointed with quarterback play. Not the ones in the game, mind you, but the four former UGA quarterbacks who competed in a skills contest at halftime.
David Greene, D.J. Shockley, Matthew Stafford and Eric Zeier got five tries to throw a football into a 50-gallon trashcan 35 yards away, through a tire from 12 yards away and to fans picked out of the stands who ran pass patterns. Stafford — the No. 1 pickin the 2009 draft — won the competition. But Richt wasn’t impressed.
“I would’ve liked to have seen those guys throw at least one in the bucket,” Richt quipped. “That was kind of embarrassing. But the wind was blowing I guess. I wish those guys would have thrown it a little better. That was the only disappointment I had.”
Lettermen were very involved in the 2011 G-Day. There was a flag football game featuring former players before the game and dozens hung out on the sidelines and in the stands.
“Seriously, I can’t tell you how fun it was to have all those former players here,” Richt said. “It’s good to see those guys and great that they want to come back.”
So what about running backs?
Richt: “You saw Kenny Malcome make some nice runs. He had some space and he took advantage of it. He has always finished runs well, which has been what we always liked the most about Kenny. When he makes contact he’s normally knocking somebody back and running through a tackle. I saw some of that.
Malcome led the Black Team with 39 yards and scored the game-winning TD on a 12-yard run. The Red Team’s Carlton Thomas led all rushers with 48 yards on 13 carries. Richt also said he was pleased with Caleb King, who had 30 yards on five carries.
There were ball security issues again. The Red Team had four fumbles and lost three, including one by Thomas inside the Black Team’s 5 on the game’s opening drive.
Who is Connor Norman?
The real star of Saturday’s game was walk-on defensive back Connor Norman. Wearing No. 11 for the Black Team, the rising sophomore from Duluth had five tackles, three pass deflections and a highlight-reel interception.
“We weren’t sure at all what we had with Connor,” Richt said. “We knew he was able to play safety and the nickel position. You could tell he was never afraid to come up and make a play as far as tackling. That was a very athletic interception and you saw good instincts. Sometimes a play like that will catch the eye of a special teams coach.”
‘Dream Team in the house’
Many of the members of Georgia’s “Dream Team” 2011 recruiting class were in attendance, including 5-star prospects Isaiah Crowell and Ray Drew. Richt credits their presence for some of the strong performances of returning lettermen this spring.
“They realize there’s a pack of Dogs coming in to try to get playing time and win jobs and things of that nature,” Richt said. “I think that’s going to ignite and excite this program.”
Defense dominates in Boise State’s spring game
Boise State, the Bulldogs’ opponent in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in September, also held its spring game on Saturday. Attendance was 14,445.
Utilizing a defense vs. offense points-earning format, the defense won 21-13. The defense scored its points on six three-and-outs, five sacks, one interception and two red-zone stops, according to Chadd Cripe of the Idaho Statesman. One of the Broncos’ issues in 2011 is finding new play-makers at the receiver position. Sophomore wideout Geraldo Hiwat took the early lead in fulfilling that role with five catches for 97 yards. And the play of star quarterback Kellen Moore was described as “unimpressive.” The 6-foot, 190-pound senior was 5-of-14 for 50 yards, often missing completions by inches.
You can read Cripe’s full report in the Idaho Statesman by CLICKING HERE.
This & That . . .
Saturday’s attendance of 43,117 set a G-Day Game record. The previous record of 42,458 was set in 2009. . . . Chase Vasser and Alec Ogletree led all tacklers with 7 apiece. . . . Defensive end Reuben Faloughi had three sacks. Grantham also lauded DE Derek Lott, who had two sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss. . . . Boise State, Georgia’s opponent in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game Sept. 3 at the Georgia Dome, was conducting its spring game Saturday night. Kickoff was set for 7 p.m. EST.
For the first time since, well, nobody really knows, the UGA Redcoat Band played from its new perch in the west-end bleachers at Sanford Stadium. The move was recommended by first-year AD Greg McGarity, who thought it would provide better acoustics. Previously the bad sat on the North side next to the student section. “I went to that side during the game just to listen and I think they could actually hear the band over there for the first time,” McGarity said.

Connor Norman had a great game. The kid was all over the place. I don’t know much about him, but if he has to do all that to just “catch the eye of a special teams coach”, what does he have to do to get TG to give him a look?

The rb’s didn’t seemed to be fired up by Crowell being there, none of them played great. The running game always struggles, 11th in SEC last season.
Also, the DE’s made a lot of sacks because the OL they went against was weak, just like last year giving up 25 sacks.

The G-Day game is not about fine tuning or nailing down positions. Today is only about going out and putting on a show for the fans. I would put it with the level of effort of a pro bowl. What you see is a bunch of starters going through the motions and a bunch of second tier and walk-on’s coming out and giving 100% to try to show a flash of something to try and break into the rotation. Richt said it best about escaping the game without injury. Too much of that happened already. I am not concerned with the fumbles nor the interceptions. Offensive line is a patchwork with the first team not working together as a unit. I always laugh at the stock put into the spring game. It is important to teach fundamentals and to play around with situations that guys have never seen before. Cross training and a look at how well someone’s skill set fits into the scheme. Take my word for it. If after they look at all the spring practices and don’t see what they like on defense, Ogletree will be back at safety. Just one of those things to see the what if…. Jenkins is a beast but not an every down NG… need a competent quality backup to plug and play. Geathers seems to fit that bill and I am glad if nothing else, we see we at least will be able to hold the point of attack for four quarters next year. GO DAWGS!

Enough of the dream team already! When will somebody evaluate the talent recruited at each position!? Once you do that, it becomes apparent that you’re probably bringing in the worst offensive line class in the conference. You can’t honestly call this a dream team when you have the 9th rated offensive line class in the Conference! How can Richt and Bobo look at your graduation losses, attririton and injuries along the offensive line and then allow this to happen? Because of those two you have no depth. Sturdivant’s was injury prone (and is now gone), and Benedict’s knee injury included nerve damage. Armed with this knowledge, Richt/Bobo go out and bring in the 9th rated offensive line class in the conference(per Rivals). Those two are unbelievable. Your’re one more injury away from some serious problems.

I saw a lot of positive energy out of the troops today. Caleb and Ken ran well. The defense looks much more crisp and agressive. Attendance record? Bill King says interest is in decline, but yet the Hartman Fund and now G-Day are making record numbers. Can’t wait to see CMR and this group of men get back on top of the division. When the new recruits hit summer camp, there is gonna be some real competition for them. Were the quaterbacks not allowed to scramble? It looked like Murray was hanging in the pocket with the ball for a bit long at times. Bottom line: I like the core of this squad.

Norman played well, but he’s undersized for SEC safety play. Tavaris King made him look silly on a stiff-arm. That ought to tell you something right there.
Nobody had written Geathers off, Chip. That’s absurd.
And, if you didn’t know Lemay had a good arm before today, you weren’t paying attention.

The fumbles were by the 5th and 6th-ranked tailbacks. The INT was a good defensive play against the backup QB. What I mainly saw were a lot of big hits by extremely talented but untested DLs and LBs. The DL looks vastly better than last year, with Big John still pending. The LBs, especially Ogletree and Jones and Samuel, looked fabulous, with Drew still pending. I’m a Dawg fan pessimist by nature, but I saw nothing negative today, and a lot of positives, particularly for the D.

The no-name players (Norman) sometimes turn into big time players. Nick Fairley was a no-name in 2009, and in 2010 he was the best lineman in college football. Just because the guy is a walk-on and isn’t a household name, people want to look down on him. Hey look, if he can play, then he can play. Put him out there in the lineup and let’s see what he’s made of. He can’t be any worse than the safeties we have now. Rambo is one of them but why can’t Norman be the other? Just sayin.
Geathers is playing very well. He and Jenkins are going to hurt some people. We finally have tons of size on the D-line. If we put Geathers and Jenkins side by side, that will eat up an O-line by itself and allow our linebackers to run free. Ogletree is going to be a special one.

I liked the way the defensive line looked namely Geathers and Ken Malcome was also pretty impressive at running back. As for Aaron Murray I thought he played well at times but still looked flustered at other times. Hopefully the offense will develop more chemistry between now and the Boise St game. I can’t wait to see what Malcolm Mitchell and Isaiah Crowell bring to the table come fall practice.

the VAST majority of people on this blog are FAR from Dawg fans. I actually suspect at least half of the negative comments are Techies in disguise. They obsess over us that much.
Some idiots expect military style discipline on a day that is a real treat for the fans and players who have busted a– through a grueling spring practice. Those of us who know the program are well aware that today was a day for the two teams to smack talk each other and enjoy a healthy level of competition amongst themselves for a steak dinner reward.
I am more than pleased what I am reading and seeing from this current pack of Dawgs. Boise State cannot come to town fast enough. And if we come up short against Boise, you bet your a– I will be in Sanford Stadium the following week ready to cheer against South Carolina as if it were a National Championship game.
I support MY Dawgs,

Lets not talk about football but the real problem. Moving the band? How can we mess with tradition? The band is more important than the football team anyway. What is going on? We need a new AD and a new football coach. Everything is bad, the sky is falling, boo hoo. See how silly this all sounds. Get a life, the football team will be fine, I hope.

Have not seen as much speed at linebacker (except Rennie C.) in many, many years as was on field today. Anyone carrying ball was looking for #9 the few plays he was in game, cause he was coming in a hurry and with bad intent. Can’t wait to see him and #22 in blitzing situations this fall. Ogletree will be all SEc this his first year at linebacker. And #46 little brother hit some people today also. Great recruits both.

The 43,117 attendance is pure B.S.
I was there. There were no tickets sold and no turnstyles used.
There were no more than about 15,000 in the stadium and there were boos at the end of the sloppy first half.
This year’s running backs had more fumbles than broken tackles and the offensive line’s pad level was again too high after getting jacked up all day by the 3-man defensive front.
The best runner on the field was a defensive back.
This team is in trouble but at least the fans could hear the band for the first time ever.

For all of you morons out there, Murray was 12 – 17 today! I believe that is slightly over 70%. Did any of you who are bashing Murray happen to see the stat comparisons between him and Stafford after their freshman years? Murray is a leader, has passion and talent! I’m a bit confused as to why Georgia fans are bashing their own team. For all of you Georgia fans out there who are posting negative comments…do the rest of us a favor and find another team and take your negativity with you! I bet if this were the spring game of 1981, you would have something negative to say about Herschel Walker! Go Dawgs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I want to know is did the defense and offensive line look stronger now that we are emphasizing S&C than they looked at the end of 2010? If that was an improvement then spring drills was a huge success. We don’t even get serious for another 3 1/2 months.

I bet if 51 would show as much passion in flipping his burgers at Mikcie D’s as he does, putting down the DAWGS, he would be an all SEC first team flipper. What a true waste of humanity. Just think, team him with buba and you got the NC of fast food flippers in the same town and possibly the same eatery.
Now that I have vented my disapointment at two I believe SNERTS, it sounds like to me that the S and C program just might be giving some results. I think if the O line and the running backs, step up to the plate, UGA will be a solid tough team to beat on the field. I feel pretty good about the defense, although I feel the safety play will have to turn it up a little, but otherwise, it is night and day from last year I think.
I also think, the key to success for the DAWGS is dominating with the defense and ball control for the offense. Control the clock, and the DAWGS can control the game.
I am very proud of this group of young man wearing the black and red. They could have just thrown in the towel after all the negative crap that was written about them after last year, but instead, they have responded positively, and that is a sign of maturity and being coached up. CMR is going to be here after the year is over, and a lot of naysayers that run their mouth off on these blogs, are going to look pretty funny after this season is on the way. Not to say they do not already look hopeless, trying to make themselfs feel important in the first place. I digress however, so I say GO DAWGS and beat the snot out of your opponent this year.

I think if you have a young teen that you want to send off to college and know he’s going to be in good hands CMR is the guy. As far as developing him into a great football talent and sharpening his football skills maybe UGA isn’t the place. CMR biggest downfall at times is his loyalty. He holds on to assistants and players sometimes too long. The sense of entitlement to some players has gotten us beat numerous times. Whether it be leaving a guy in who’s getting beat I.e. Bryan Evans, or not playing a guy because he had an attitude like Dowtin last year. I’m not advocating playing guys that are trouble makers but you have to get your best guys on the field. There’s no way Hamilton should of played before Tree last year. He admitted that he didn’t know the playbook so what made him any different from’Tree?

Don’t mistake my comments for negativity I’m just saying if Kwame is playing this well and Big John is not even on campus yet then how come he’s anointed already by coaches. I have seen his film and he’s a MAN, but I would like to think he’d have to earn his PT. For instance Nick Satan fired about 6 starters this spring after a “disastrous” 10 win season. We went 7-6 and lost to UCF, I’d think that would be grounds to start an open competition at all positions. Then again there’s a reason we play Dec bowl games and the upper echelon SEC teams are racking up crystal footballs.

SSgt DAWG,
I do agree with you as CMR has tended to do that in the past at times. I think though, we are seeing a new CMR as far as thinking goes this year. It looks like he is going to play his best men on the field and I think the players realize it also. For the players, maybe it is all the talk about the recruits coming in and it hurt their pride just a little that the coaches were talking them up so much. But I also feel they see a little sense of urgency from the coaching staff this year and that it may not be “Business As Usual”, and they have to earn the right to be on the field playing. I think we will see some of these players step out from the crowd and earn the right to be there. They want to restore the pride to the program, and I think they know that the coaches attitudes have changed a little more this year.

There are alot of positives this year with Georgia. I knew bringing in those 4 and 5 Star Players would motivate the players in the upper classes and it did. Im really excited with the Defense and especially Geathers upping the ante’ on his play.
I think Georgia will have a special group of guy’s on Defense this year, they seem more jelled and more like a family to me. Sure do pray that Richard Samuel finds his place as LB and has an outstanding year at that position. Last year no one stepped up to take the leadership role on Defense and maybe players like Geathers, Samuel or possibly Ray Drew will step up and take the role.
I look to see our Defense mature faster than our Offense and i think you’ll see the Defense start to dominate as spring carries on, so look for that to happen.
Carlton Thomas needs to sleep with the football and quit this fumbling disease. He did this last year and eventhough he has talent this fumbling thing would drop him to the bottom tier of RB’s with me.
I am still looking for great things from Isiah Crowell on a college level because i like his attitude and desire.

It sounds like the KOOLAID was free for the kids and parents alike.

The consensus appears to be the best two teams in the SEC this fall will be LSU and Alabama, neither of whom is on UGA’s schedule.
Everyone seems to think BSU will be a top ten type opponent but BSU graduated 17 of 22 starters. They have a splendid qb but no one to throw to.
USC may be the pick of the SEC East but they have to come to Athens. Auburn and Florida will probably have the two most beatable teams UGA has seen from these schools is a while.
So…..it is shaping up to be a special season in Athens. The team looked terrific yesterday even conceding that many were playing for relief minutes when the Dream Team arrives this fall. We have the best qb in the SEC, a soft schedule, the most heralded recruiting class to ever arrive and boat loads of returning talent.
I am guessing one, a the most two losses next year (the second being in the SEC Championship Game). Even with two losses we should be in a BCS Bowl and all those Richt haters will be so disappointed.
We’re back – Richt’s back!!! Let the season begin.

Obviously the defense has an advantage in the G-day game, they have lined up and seen exactly what the offence is going to do for 3 weeks. And they aren’t about to see anything new on G-day.
That being said, the defense was clearly better organized and playing at full(er) speed yesterday. This is nowhere close to the same team as last spring.
I would take Murray in a heartnbeat over any QB in the SEC right now, but I would NOT take him as the drafting captain of my scrimmage team. Did he not consider getting a couple of starting linemen?
Actually I have to wonder if that wasn’t sort of loaded a bit by the staff. Kinda curious how 4/5 starters ended up protecting the less expereinced QB. It worked out pretty well.
As far as weakness, we learned we aren’t deep enough at every position to mix and match without a falloff. But I have watched several other spring games and nobody seems to be. I am encouraged thought that when we can combine the best of what we saw yesterday, we could have a pretty good looking team. I cannot remember last year having enough good plays that we could have even put together a highlight film. Certainly not on defense.
We need a 4 ppg turnaround, thats it.

At the same time, I must admit being somewhat puzzled about fans of other teams even taking the time to read about our G-Day game, much less actually taking the time to post on the blog about our G-Day game.
It is also quiet amusing to see folks going to the trouble of disguising themselves as Dawg fans solely for the purpose of some how creating standing to criticize the team. Now that is really pitiful.

On Conner Norman: “Sometimes a play like that will catch the eye of a special teams coach.” CMR

Whoever was on here a few months ago boasting about Lemay will hopefully be quiet after G-Day. He is talented, but it was apparent that his field of vision is small and he has at least a year before he is competitive. Hutson Mason looks to be the most solid contender for the back-up position to Aaron Murray.
Ken Malcome was always pushing the pile and hitting the line hard. He is playing the way Richard Samuel should have a few years ago at RB. Ken will be a definite starter. Richard Samuel was all over the field and making great tackles. He definitely has a nose for the ball and is a solid tackler.

There were some great deep passes by Murray, particularly a 30+ yarder to M. Brown in tough coverage, that were perfectly thrown and the receivers didn’t come up with the ball. That happened at least twice that I remember. One thing I saw for sure from the defense is that they knew where they should be and they were more often than not, in position to make a play. Yards after contact was low for sure. Tackling looked very clean and fundamental.
The players looked more aware and intelligent. This IS NOT the same team that went 6-7. I’m expecting atleast 9 wins this season at the WORST!

WHAT YOU TALKIN’ BOUT WILLIS?!?!

If the G-Day game were an accurate representation of what we could expect this season the answer would be “not much”. The D looked pretty good. Aaron Murray looked good. If he goes down we are screwed though. Running game left plenty to be desired. Receivers couldn’t catch a cold. It’s apparent that outside of the TEs we have no offensive weapons. Crowell better be the next Garrison Hearst or our offense is going to avg. 5 FGs a game.
I understand the G-day game is NOT a great representation of what is to come but still, they have a loooooooooong way to go.

It is kind of hard to draw any concrete conclusions of how a team will perform based on a scrimmage, and with at least two expected cogs in the machine not present. D looks good though, if nothing else based on thier strength and size. If everything jells and with the folks we have, it should, UGA will be good this year and very good next year.

CONCRETE BLOCKS for the FUTURE dawgs sounds about right.

51WT, I would say that pretty much sums up your head. A piece of concrete. Too bad, you can’t just fall off a bridge or a boat, because with your thick skull, you would sink straight to the bottom. The search and rescue team might come after you, in say, a month or so. Nobody would know or care you were missing unless you clogged up a water line anyway.

Arnold Jackson: Branden Smith runs a legitimate sub-4.4 40-yard dash. Putting the ball in his hands is not “dumb,” butter-fingered or not, IMHO.

All the hoopla does not change the fact that the Bulldogs start 0-2. Boise St. blows out Ga in the dome and then USC spanks them at Sanford. Anyone who believes the UGA program is on the upswing is in for a rude awakening.

dawgfacedboy: Spring games are never an “accurate representation of what to expect.” Trust me on this.

Florida Dawg: I agree that Richard Samuel and Ken Malcome both have bright futures. I think Christian LeMay will be pretty darn good eventually.
