Notebook: CB/KR Brandon Boykin delivers postgame message to team
After Georgia’s 35-21 loss to Boise State was in the books and the Bulldogs had slogged their way back to their locker room in the depths of the Georgia Dome, senior cornerback Brandon Boykin stood up in the center of the room and yelled for his teammates’ attention.
“Before Coach Richt talked, I just told them we have a whole season left to play,” said Boykin, one of four captains for the game. “I told them, ‘this was a hyped game and everybody wanted us to do what we’re supposed to do, but it didn’t happen. We can’t get our heads down because we’ve got a whole season to go.’ Everybody’s positive now and we’re going to be ready for this next ballgame.
Boykin certainly did all he could. The cornerback from Fayetteville, in addition to playing the whole game on defense and finished with six tackles, a pass breakup and a tackle for loss, also ended up with 190 all purpose yards.
Eighty yards came on the first and only offensive play of Boykin’s career, a touchdown on a counter play after lining up in the backfield.
“That’s something we worked on,” Boykin said. “I was just fortunate for it to open up like it did with the blocking and everything. But the bottom line is it means nothing because we didn’t win the game. But if coach Richt or Coach Bobo wants me to play offense any time I’m all for it.”
Samuel gets starting nod over Crowell
Junior Richard Samuel said he was surprised to get the start at tailback over freshman Isaiah Crowell at tailback.
“I was surprised because I felt like he got more reps than me the last two weeks,” said Samuel, who was sidelined a quadriceps injury toward the end of preseason camp. “We run an equal rotation at the position but, yeah, I was a little bit surprised.”
Samuel, who played his first two seasons on offense, was moved from linebacker late this summer after attrition robbed Georgia of its top two rushers from last season, Washaun Ealey and Caleb King. Samuel opened the game with a two-yard run. He finished with 12 yards on seven carries.
Crowell had impressed his coaches and teammates while getting the majority of work with the No. 1 offense during the preseason. He came in the game on Georgia’s second possession and lost a yard on his first carry.
“Aaron [Murray] tripped me a little bit,” he said with a slight chuckle.
But overall Crowell fared a little better, finishing with 60 yards on 15 carries. So he could get the nod against South Carolina.
“It was tough to find holes,” he said. “Boise did a good job running to the ball.”
Injuries take toll
Starting inside linebacker Alec Ogletree left early in the first quarter with an injury to his right foot. Early indications are Ogletree is doubtful for next week. The majority of Ogletree’s snaps were filled by walk-on Jeremy Sulek and junior Michael Gilliard.
Also late in the first half, Boykin and the other starting inside linebacker, Christian Robinson, went down with injuries. Both players returned in the second half. Robinson said he got a “couple of hip-pointers.”
“Between Christian Robinson and Ogletree, we couldn’t really afford to lose one of those two guys,” Richt said. “The drop off was going to be pretty steep, with true freshmen and a walk-on in there. They’re good kids and they’re busting their tails, but it was a position we felt we really couldn’t afford that type of an injury.”
Richt did not know the extent of Ogletree’s injury. His right foot was in a walking boot after the game.
Starting left guard Kenarious Gates left the game with a “lower left leg” injury in the second quarter. That was also an area the Bulldogs could ill-afford an injury. Gates was expected to be Georgia’s fill-in if a tackle went out with an injury. Sophomore Dallas Lee, who previously hasn’t played in a game, replaced Gates.
“Gates leaving was not good for Georgia and not good for Gates,” Richt said. “But Dallas [Lee] was a guy we felt comfortable could go in there and play guard. I’ll have to watch the film to see how he did.”
First-timers
Seven true freshmen made their debut for Georgia in the first half: wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell — who started — cornerback Nick Marshall, safety Corey Moore, cornerback Damian Swann, cornerback Chris Sanders, inside linebacker Amarlo Herrera and Crowell.
Several other players played in their first games. Junior college transfer nose guard John Jenkins, redshirt freshman defensive backs Mark Deas and Connor Norman, linebacker Kosta Vavlas, wide receiver Michael Bennett and wide receiver Michael Erdman. Also sophomore linebacker Jarvis Jones started following a redshirt season in 2010 after transferring from USC.
The Bulldogs had five first-time starters. On offense, WR Marlon Brown, OG Chris Burnette and Mitchell lined up during the first play of the game. Mitchell was not in the game on the first snap, but the original first down play was called back after a false start penalty. CB Jordan Love lined up for Georgia its first down on defense.
Rambo, Thomas don’t play
Free safety Bacarri Rambo and tailback Carlton Thomas both were held out due to suspensions for unspecified violations of team rules. Both will be back for South Carolina.
Richt had confirmed Thomas’ suspension but didn’t say anything about Rambo until after Saturday’s game.
“He is eligible to play next week,” Richt said. “He was suspended for the first game for the usual team rules violation. Carlton Thomas will play next week, too.”
Rambo started all 13 games at free safety last season. Thomas was Georgia’s leading returning rusher, but was not expected to start this season
Bobo back in press box
Mike Bobo was calling plays from the pressbox again on Saturday. It was part of a ploy by Georgia to play a hurry-up offense and make call from above.
The Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator had been calling plays from the sidelines since October of 2009, when he moved down to the field midway through the season “to get a better feel of things” and talk face-to-face with quarterback Joe Cox after a few poor offensive efforts in a row.
Now in his fourth season as Georgia’s offensive coordinator and 11th as quarterbacks , Bobo started out coaching from the press box in 2007 and 2008.
Rocking in the ATL
Georgia-Boise State wasn’t the only game in town this weekend. In fact, there were all kinds of events taking place in Atlanta, including a Braves game, Dragon*Con, the Black Gay Pride Parade and NASCAR racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Also, the Sports Radio 680 The Fan was organized a concert in Centenniel Olympic Park for the rock band O.A.R. Needless to say, downtown Atlanta was jam-packed and jamming on Saturday.
All of which made Chick-fil-A Bowl president Gary Stokan very happy. He hadn’t taken an official census, but he was pretty certain all the major downtown hotels were booked Friday and Saturday night.
“There are 12,000 rooms downtown and I can’t imagine there’s one of them that has availability,” Stokan said on the Georgia Dome field before the game. “Imagine what it’s going to be like next year when we have two games.”
Next year the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game will hold a doubleheader on this weekend, with games between Auburn-Clemson and Tennessee-N.C. State. And yes, Dragon*Con.
What the Big Dawg ate
Georgia’s new head nutritionist Jenn Ketterly traveled with the team and planned all the Bulldogs’ meals in advance of and after Saturday’s game, down to what kind of oil in which to cook the food.
UGA stayed at the Omni Hotel downtown and Ketterly dictated every meal the Bulldogs ate while there. She said Saturday’s pregame meal was chicken, steak, green beans, roasted potatoes, macaroni and cheese and a full fruit bar.
Scene and heard
Tight end Orson Charles was rocking a newly-acquired mohawk haircut. Perhaps in honor of UGA’s “spread the red” promotion for the game, it was dyed red. . . . UGA legend Herschel Walker and former Boise State star defensive end Ryan Winterswyk delivered the official game ball in pregame ceremony. They were actually driven to midfield in a car. . . . Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal announced that it was time for the kickoff. . . . Georgia won the toss and elected to receive the opening kickoff. . . . Former Bulldogs fullback Shaun Chapas (Dallas Cowboys) and tailback Caleb King (Minnesota Vikings) were cut by their respective teams on Saturday. . . . Before Saturday, Georgia was 7-8 in domes, including 4-3 at the Georgia Dome. Two of those wins clinched SEC championships.

Devout Tech fan here, but I am very disappointed that UGA didn’t mop the floor with Boise St. I was really hoping ya’ll could eliminate them from the NC conversation early. Now, they’re a shoe-in for the title game because they don’t play anyone else that’s even worth mentioning. I almost have to feel this one was well-deserved though, purely due to Boykins trash-talking/tweeting in the days leading up to it. Kharmas a b***h Boykins, I suggest you grow up a bit and remember that or it WILL nail you again! Overall, UGA didn’t look THAT bad (although the play-calling was a joke IMO — ya’ll can do MUCH better than Bobo at OC). They say the biggest improvement in a season comes between weeks 1 and 2 — lets hope they are correct. Ya’ll still have a chance at a special season, God knows the talent is on the field, it’s just not being lead/coached well (2-9 in the last 11 versus top-10 ranked opponents does NOT make an elite, or even upper-level program). Improve enough to take out SC and you should still have a 9+win season. Lose that one and I’m betting things start coming apart at the seams for this squad. I truly hope that doesn’t happen. Good luck on the rest of ya’lls season, up until November 26th anyway!!!!

I call it like it is. We need more BOOING to get CMR out of there. Can you imagine the fans raining down BOOS on Richt when we get slaughtered by SC?

For the first seven years that CMR was at UGA one of his best friends was a tight end coach who the players respected and whose worth and influence on the team extended beyond the OL. One reason I have little respect for CMR as a person is that he sat by and allowed Bobo to run off this coach, who was only earning about one hundred thous. a year at UGA, because he demanded excellence, both on and off the field, and because his values were “old school”. After this coach left at the end of 2007. the team began a slow rot from the top.

After all the offseason hype. How CMR could have time to study football. How new S&C program was helping win 4th Q. How new big men and LB studs would dominate in CTG’s 2nd year. How Murray was so good last year and now he’s picked Pre season All SEC. How the Oline though thin at depth were experienced and dominate. Having heard all that BS we showed no better than 2010

Knew we were in trouble when the team came out in those candy-coated uniforms. MR should have a bonfire and burn those ASAP. You’ll never see OK, TX or AL wear that kind of crap. Offensive line played terrible! So much for all that strength and conditioning talk. Outplayed by BS defense that they outweighed by 30-40 pounds per man. Really, all those sacks. We have a history of being burned by the short-yard pass — when are we going to learn to defend it? Team looked lethargic and lacked enthusiasm. Coaches and players will have to reach down deep to avoid being embarrassed by SC. Maybe time to make a Smart call.

I don’t normally post, but the disaster at the dome requires all good fans to express their opinions to at least keep what remains of our collective sanity.
My biggest problem with last night was the failure of Coach Richt to realistically assess what his team’s strengths and weaknesses were leading into the game and adjust accordingly. His initial decisions showed that he doesn’t understand his team. For some reason, he elected to take the ball after winning the toss, putting an offense with a mediocre line and green skill position talent on the field against a veteran defense instead of his defense that should be much better in its second year with better personnel (and showed signs last night despite being put in awful situations). He then compounds this mistake by refusing to play a smash mouth running game (running behind a lead blocker would help), using two tight end sets (to take advantage of our depth at tight end) controlling the clock, and taking advantage of excellent special teams to win with an old fashioned game plan. Even though this formula would have produced a loss last night, it would show that Richt was adapting to his personnel, and we would have a legit shot of winning ten games this year with our schedule and this formula.
Instead, we throw the ball downfield to receivers who can’t get separation, didn’t max protect our quarterback, ran sideways and without a lead blocker (most of the time, with a notable exception being boykin’s run) and ran no huddle, keeping our defense on the field too long.
It comes down to being realistic about who you are and what you can do well. I don’t get the impression that Richt thinks about this kind of stuff, as we trot out the same offense/philosphy every year regardless of our talent. And as to our talent, you will never have better talent than the #1 QB (Stafford), #1 RB (Moreno), #1 Wideout (Green), a 2nd round Wideout (MoMass), another NFL RB (Thomas Brown) and NFL lineman (Boling) on the field at the same time. That team never even played for the SEC title, much less won anything of significance. Why? Coaching.
It’s time for a change. We ought to be on a plane to Starkville in early December and we should kidnap Mullen and bring him back to Athens.

Richt’s loyalty (to good people) inferior coaches has cost him his job…Martinez’ D (way too long to dump him) wasted some good Offensive teams and Bobo is in no way a D1 OC.
If you can’t fix the problem CMR…you are the problem. So in typical Georgia fashion…who is an up and comer coach that Georgia can get cheap that we will rest our hopes on now?

If Coach Peterson can take inferior talent,in one of the most Godforsaken places in the US, and continually put a better team on the field than his opponets, then what could he do with our talent? Its the Scheme Stupid. Our offense is stale. We run the same plays we have run for 10 years. How did Boise get so many receivers open so wide I oould complete a pass to tehm? Its the Scheme Stupid.
And Whats with no names on the back of the Jerseys. We don’t have programs at home. How can we get to know the players? Put names on the back of the jerseys. Not doing so is disrespectful to the fans.
And if I see one more run up the middle—–

We have the players, but inexperienced players, especially on the lines and other than QB, no positions matter more than the lines. Coaching is fine, offensive and defensive play calling did suck, but there were injuries also. its hard to blitz with a freshman backup CB in and leave him one on one or have inside linebackers that are freshman and walk-ons.
Yes better play calling. Bobo is on thin ice.
Columbus
September 4th, 2011

I forgave Bobo for the runs up the middle early when it set up the sweep for the TD but after that, we hardly ran outside and for goodness sakes, dump the ball to the backs! Like Boise did.
It keeps pressure off the QB and it gets the back in position to eat up some yardage and make it 2nd and short or 3rd and short, at minimum because many times it will bew a 1st down!
Bobo has NEVER thrown to the backs. No screen passes, no dumps over the middle, none as a security blanket for the QB. NEVER! Well maybe once every 3 games. This is crucial in offensive success especially when you have Crowell being an excelling receiver and runner, give him a couple steps of space to get going and watch him run. Figgins can catch too.
Wasting a GREAT oppurtunity and hurting the offense because of not using the weapon. Could be getting first downs but instead making it EASY on the defenses as they dont have to worry about it and can focus totally on the receivers and rushing the QB.
If we do throw to the backs it it is a win-win situation. If we dont, its a lose-lose situation and stupid to tell you the truth. Even when we had Moreno we did not do it much.
NEVER under Bobo have we utilized the backs out of the backfield and it killed us last night. Boise did, we didnt. Boise won.

The Georgia offensive strategy for winning game is “completely…mindless”. Here are are just a few
criticism that are fair and deserve recognition:
1. Georgia is undisciplined likely due to poor coaching.
2. Georgia coaches lack the intellectual ability to ’spacially see’ what needs to happen in the game.
3. Georgia coaches neglect to ‘carry out’ their own ‘game plan’ strategies.
4. Georgia coaches “fear” the consequences of “measured risk”.
5. Georgia coaches lack the basic intelligence and imagination to implement a ‘wise game strategy’.
6. Georgia coaches lack the intellectual skills to “make” and “coach” the necessary adjustments.
7. Georgia coaches lack the discipline themselves to expect “mental toughness” from their players.
8. Georgia coaches have the poorest minds for attending to the “details’ necessary in football.
9. Georgia coaches are far to “lax” and “hands-off” in assisting the players with life skills.
** Admittedly, these are very general criticisms, but originate from the “glaring inconsistencies, errors, miscalculations, and mental deficiencies observed in Saturday evenings game.

The uniforms were fitting, they highlighted a team who had lost their identity. As the helments coming off disregard that it’s the equipment as both teams were wearing the same uniforms for this game, but only one, UGA, kept losing the helments. Trever Maddox of ESPN made a point that I have felt has always been a fact with UGA Quarterbacks, in that they throw to the reciever rather than leading the reciever. Proof is pass after pass by all the UGA QB’s in the last 10 years thrown BEHIND the reciever. I think one of CMR’s downfalls is not hiring proven coaches for his staff but wanting to bring in young guys to develope them into his system. If he brings someone who has experiance it seems as he trys to mold them to his system and stiffles their effectiveness. I don’t think bringing Smart in to replace him is the answer, I don’t think Chris Peterson would come here, and trying to hire a head coach from another SEC school would have shades of the Arkansas/Nebraska deal. Skip Holtz could be a good choice and D. Dooley is better off where he’s at.

money is not the problem–CMR could retire on his net income for just one year. In fact he did retire when he promoted Bobo from quarterback coach to inexperienced OC and turned everything over to him. As for Martinez, he was one of the quality people on UGA’s coaching staff at that point. Go. Oklahoma!

What UGA DOESN’T need is Kirby Smart, he is a follower and would be lost without Saban. What we need is a good hard nosed, established, winning HC. Someone who will get out and recruit the big, smart, offensive linemen. Recruit the 2 and 3 star kids who will leave it all on the field and want to play for the dogs. Enough of the 5 star BS pretty boys, we need players, we need coaches who can coach. I like CMR as a person but he has had long enough and its time to move on.

The problems. 1) A new S&C coach. If you have to call a time out in the 3rd quarter – right after half time, because your players are gassed – your players are not in shape AGAIN. 2) Our $750k DC, who can’t game plan. As soon as Boise went to the hurry up, and bunched up their receivers to one side of the field, their receivers were wide, wide, open. If your playing a zone, receivers should not be open by 10 yards. 3) Our OC is clueless. No strategy, no game plan. 4) the head coach, who hired 1,2 and 3. The solution – must clean house and start over.

What you witnessed in the dome was a very well coached group of player not highly ranked by any recruiting site for the most part. Remember Georgia ranks 2nd nationally for the best recruits for the past 10 years.
Georgia was out coached in every facet of the game, offensively, defensively and the kicking game. Georgia had 29 practices and couldn’t even run the first series without multiple penalties. Georgia must improve and quickly or changes will be made.

Did anyone watch game film and develop a gameplan that played to your strengths and the other teams weaknesses?, or did they just say “let’s do this cuz everyone else is”. Awful.

Paul, the coaches at UGA are not the same ones who were here during CMR’s successful years. Most of them got sick of being underappreciated and underpaid by CMR so they left. The ones that were fired were also snapped up by better coaches. cmr puts on a good facade but in reality, he is out of touch. That’s what pulling in multi- millions and relying only one trusted underling does. His wife is a genuinely nice, sincere person who really does care about the families of the coaching staff. I’m willing to bet she writes those pretty letters for him.. Unlike CMR Richt, most of us are capable of venting our opinions while also holding down tough jobs that if we are lucky , might pay about one percent per year of CMR’s income. Who knows, we may have more insight than you do. We might even be the ones who clean the locker rooms and groom the athletic fields. We too are judged by our results.

Fellow Dawgs I have held my tongue so to speak but it is painfully obvious that Mike BoBo has no clue as to the flow of a game. Also Coach Richt had better get some actual fire in his belly or he will lose this bunch of players like he lost the handle on his last 2 teams. This playing guys because of seniority has got to go, if you can’t put your best players on the field, why are you coaching? Also why are we so short handed on the offensive line? It is because Coach Richt once again does not seem to get it, you have to be able to consistently run and pound the football to be a consistent winner. This finese stuff only works if you have far superior offensive linemen in the first place.
Now we lost to a better team, I dare say one of the BEST teams in the country, but I also dare say we shouldn’t have lost to them. As we had the superior tallent or at least wise that is what we have been led to believe. If the Dawgs come out flat again next week, BoBo continues to have no clue as to flow of a game and we don’t put our best players on the field we will lose to South Carolina. Why did Samuels start? He hadn’t practiced in 2 weeks also he was very ineffective when he was practicing and we know when he was the starter in 2009 how that turned out. Anyways I will be hoping and praying that adjustments can and will be made to at least make a better showing next week.
