Q&A: Richt disappointed in pass protection, encouraged by players’ attitudes
Here’s what Georgia coach Mark Richt had to say after Saturday night’s 35-21 loss to Boise State in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game at the Georgia Dome.
Q: Opening statement:
A: “Congratulations to Boise State. They just beat us tonight. They were better than we were and my hats off to them. Our players understand understand that and our players understand that we’ve got to get a lot done before we play next week and open Southeastern Confewrence play. We’ve got a lot of work to do. We know that everybody’s 0-0 in league play. Our goal is to win the Eastern Division and that’s not changing. So we have to get ready for that. Boise State did a great job tonight and I congratulate them. Questions? . . .
Oh, I have an announcement. (Bacarri) Rambo is eligible to play next week. He was suspended for the first game for the usual team rules violation. Carlton Thomas will play next week, too.
Q: It looked like y’all were trying to execute a hurry-up offense and send in plays after the from the line of scrimmage after the defense was set. Was that the case and how’d you think the offense played?
A: “We did try to go up-tempo. Tried to run some no –huddle. We tried to spread it out a little more and get some of our guys out in space. We didn’t have an awful lot of success. Historically, Boise State’s defense has been pretty good. It’s not like they’re not one of the top defenses in America. But I think we’ll continue to do that. I don’t think we’re going to stop trying to do that. No matter what you do offensively, whether you go no-huddle or not, you’ve got to execute, you’ve got to get first downs, you’ve got to make plays. Whether we huddled or not I don’t know if that had any bearing on it.”
Q: What are you most disappointed about?
A: “First of all that we lost the game. I think our protection on third down was a little disappointing. The majority of our sacks came on third down. First and second down I thought we protected pretty good. Offensively that was an issue. Defensively we just couldn’t get them off the field once they got going in the second half. Just didn’t get them off the field enough.
Q: Your defense did not record a sack. Why couldn’t you get any pressure on Kellen Moore?
A: “He’s a very good player so he knows where to go with the ball and when to go there. They protected him well, too. He rarely got knocked down. We forced him a couple of times to throw the ball a little sooner than he wanted to, but we didn’t get any sacks. . . . We didn’t get enough pressure on him.”
Q: How would you assess the running game?
A: “It wasn’t real clean. They did a couple of things differently. They did a little more stunting and late movement. But we just didn’t block it clean enough to give them some space to run. The backs had to earn everything they got.”
Q: Your impressions of Boise State?
A: “We went in having an awful lot of respect for them.. We knew they were a very good football team. They were good on both sides of the ball. Very veteran defensive football team. An awful lot of experience on the offensive side of the ball as well. And they get after it. They did a great job.”
Q: What kind of adjustments do you need to make for South Carolina?
A: “We get a little time to think about what kind of adjustments we’ll have to do. We’ll have to do a better job than we did a year ago on quick screens and things of that nature. But we’ve got time to work on all that.”
Q: What’d you think of playing in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game?
A: “It was a big game, a big atmosphere. I thought the crowd was into it. The kids were excited on both sides. Everybody was excited. There was a lot of buzz around the city, a lot of buzz around the Dome and inside the Dome. It’s a great venue and a great game to play.”
Q: How bad are the injuries to Alec Ogletree and Kenarious Gates and how’d it affect your team’s play?
A: “Ogletree was probably, between Christian Robinson and Ogletree, we couldn’t really afford to lose one of those two guys. 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. I have to get with Ron [Courson] to find out exactly what’s going on with Tree. Gates leaving was not good for Georgia and not good for Gates. But Dallas [Lee] was a guy we felt comfortable could go in there and play guard. I’ll have to watch the filmto see how he did.
“As a coach you don’t want anybody to get hurt, but at certain spots you feel like you might could take a hit and be OK. The linebacker position was one we weren’t too thrilled about losing anybody and, of course, we lost Alec.”
Q: Did you think your team was too hyped up?
A: “I thought both teams were a little overly excited early on and made some mistakes. But I thought everybody settled down relatively quick.”
Q: Did you think poor field position cost you?
A: “We were in a bind. We decided to take the ball first and didn’t get much going. Maybe we were too excited or whatever you want to say and then we were a little backed up. But then we had the long touchdown by [Brandon] Boykin and then we were back to normal field position after that. So it didn’t really cost us.”
Q: Why did you not kick the field goal on the fourth-and-one you got stopped?
A: “I decided to go for it. I did that because I felt like we could get one yard. I also felt like more than likely touchdowns wwere going to be needed to win the game. I know we’ve got a great field goal kicker and he could’ve made that one. Maybe in hindsight we should have kicked. If I had known we were going to get stuffed I would have kicked the field goal at that time.”
Q: How big of a momentum changer was it for Boise State to score at the end of the fist half and the beginning of the second?
A: “It was big. They got a two possession lead. But as early as it was in the second half, it wasn’t like everybody was in panic mode or anything like that.”
Q: How did you think Isaiah Crowell and Malcolm Mitchell did in their first games?
A: “I think both of them did well. I think Isaiah, I’ll have to watch the film, but my guess is he got about as much as he could get out of what he had to deal with. Of course Malcolm made a couple of nice plays. He had the reverse and three catches and a touchdown. He’s a good football player. Those guys got a bright future.”
Q: How do you team get your team up off the mat and motivated after putting so much into this first game?
A: “I was encouraged by the reaction of our seniors especailluy in the locker room afterwards. They were encouraging everybody to get to work. Southeastern Conference play hasn’t even started and it’s a long season. We’;ve got to get our minds right. After a game like this, there’s no question we know more about our team than if we had played somebody we might’ve beaten by 40. So hopefully that will translate into us having a better idea of how to play these types of games and help us see where our weaknesses are.”

I have always defended Richt. I don’t think I will any more. While I don’t necessarily blame him for our pathetic offensive playcalling or the fact that our defense looked like a high school team against Keller, he is the boss of the OC and DC. Bobo should be long gone by now. His playcalling is really, really bad and predictable. As for the defense, not sure what to do there. I know we had injuries, but whatever. I am very, very disappointed in the way this season has started.

Not too many positives to take away from this. All of the questions coming into the season remain. Poor S&C as the defense was gassed early in the game. Weak o-line and no pass rush. No running game even though you outweighed their front 7 by about 30-40 pounds per man.
Richt must rally the troops this week or SC will hang a number of you between the hedges.

Ok now I hope go 4-8 so that we can hit rock bottom and fire this entire coaching staff. This has got to stop! If this is what this team is going to do week in and week out, then just go ahead and bottom out.Serves our fan base right. This is what happens when we don’t demand more and make changes when they NEED to be made. This program is completely rotten. McGarity needs to clean house of anything even remotely related to Mark Richt and start over. It’s the only way we’re going to get better.Richt was the right fit for us at one point, but those days are long gone. A new start is what this program desperately needs.

All you Bobo haters, that’s just an excuse hiding the REAL issue, which is Richt.
Green Bay ran 5 different plays in the 60s and won 5 or so championships.
It’s not PLAYCALLING. It is EXECUTION.
Heck, Boise St. ran about 5 diff plays in the second half and we were helpless. We could not cover a 5-yard hook pass. Time and time again.
Really, people, get a clue. Playcalling is largely irrelevant. Some teams script the first 15 plays and run them regardless of down and distance. And those teams have had success. Witness the 49′ers of the 80s-90s.
So get off the “FIRE BOBO” bandwagon and get on the “FIRE RICHT” bandwagon. Richt is the man who is not coaching these boys, and demanding his staff coach them, to EXECUTE.
EXECUTE.
EXECUTE.
EXECUTE.
That is how you win games. You can have a 5-play playbook, and if you EXECUTE, you win.
It’s just that simple.

This game was about coaching ! The 4th down play was the right call, but where was our tightend going ? He should have blocked that guy ! Instead we lose an importnat scoring chance. The problem with our offense is that it is slow starting. We get behind and before you know it the game is so far out of reach, that we don’t have a chance. Is Aaron Murray our quarterback ? He was off big time, course he had to run for his life. Whatever happened to short passes to our great athletes ! Really really confused.

Richt has to go. He has proved that he is not capable of coaching in the SEC. The offense has no fluidity or timing – conditioning is lacking and the defense cannot adjust – all coaching issues. UGA football is an embarrassment to those of us who respect SEC football.
What a Disappointment

Richard Dawson – agree with your comments. The real problem is line play on both sides of the ball. Our running game was a joke and Murray was throwing on his back, while their QB had all day. Got really tired of all the hype about how big our OL is, when they got their a$$ handed to them. Not a huge Bobo fan, but play calling does not matter when you cannot control the line.

Came into town early to do some sightseeing, really loved Atlanta. You have got a great town, very impressed with everything down there. Thanks for having us (and I would have said that even if we lost). Have to say though, my favorite thing was going to the Georgia state game on Friday night. That little GSU team you’ve got is very exciting to watch and I have to say folks with no disrespect, their fans are far and away the nicest bunch I’ve ever been around. Honestly, I know UGA is steeped in tradition but for my money, I’d be at every Panther game if I lived here. Good luck in the SEC this year and who knows, we may see each other in the BCS later this year….or next.

One or two plays that make the difference. Orson Charles misses the block on the 4th and 1. His man makes the tackle. Defense fails to read see the change in QB to the running QB and sucks for the fake as the ball goes around end for 11 yards. I am not a coach, or any kind of expert but it appears that the spread offense for UGA was just what we needed against the big bruising line of Boise. Why then do we line up our standard formation, of which they have had the 8 month preparation? WHy can’t recievers catch balls that hit them in the hands? I don’t ever remember sesing Champ Bailey get faked out at the goal line like our kid did tonight. That was the corener, where was the safet? There is no doubt that UGA has a good team. Keep this in mind, at least when RIcht was calling the plays we beat people.

Fire Bobo? I’m not so sure that it was the play calling..eg “run on 1st and 2nd down and pass on 3rd…” Yep, if you only get 1 or 2 yards running it and end up 3rd and long, it’s a passing down. That’s fundamental, so not necessarily CMB. We are supposed to run the ball; in the SEC you have to be able to run the ball. So, yes, we run on 1st and 2nd downs (heck, if you have a running game you run on any down; or run play-action). Admittedly, I’m not sure where he got that formation…with the RB standing next to the QB; as opposed to our usual Power I. We just had way too many 3rd and longs…and Muray just wasn’t as sharp as we thought he’d be (not getting rid of the ball/taking sacks, accuracy).
I was disappointed mostly in the team just not seeming to be ready to play and the D getting gassed in the 3rd qtr. They did seem ok in the 4th. We come out and can’t do diddlee on our first possession; just looked totally unprepared; off sides, procedure, time out. When we elected to receive the first kickoff, I wondered if CMR knew something I didn’t; I thought he’d realize we needed to start on D and let the O get settled down, especially with Samuel, Crowell, and Figgins in the backfield. But it ends up the vaunted O line just aint what it should be.
How ’bout those “beasts” on the D line we salivated over all summer (Geathers and Jenkins)? We just could not stop BS’s offense. Is the 3-4 just not suited for D1 football…or is it Grantham and the other coaches not coachin’ em up? Losing Tree was costly. Still…
I don’t know if it was play-calling so much as the team just not looking prepared. I guess they were “poised” enough, but just too many mistakes, blown calls, sacks, hurries, time outs, dropped passes….
Too many of y’all are ready to toss in the towel over the first game of a long season. We just lost to the #5 ranked team in the country; a loss that was kinda expected about everywhere except Dawg Nation. Yes, BS is that good. My hat’s off to em.
Now, it’s time to get ready for SC. Find a way to get to Garcia and hopefully slow down Lattimore. And, look prepared and ready to play.

We truly suck. Bobo does less with more than any coach on earth. I’ll come back and watch UGA football when Bobo is coaching where he belongs – high school.
Honest question for fellow Dawgs – why does Bobo have a 5″ thick playbook when we can’t even execute 5 plays? We would be better served if we had 5 plays the worked rather than 500 that don’t.

Mat……
Winning football games has nothing to do with recruiting stars. It has to do with coaching and coaching up the talent you have. The Boise coach is much better at it than your coach. It also has a lot to do with execution and desire…..and Boise again did both better than Georgia.

If this is Georgia being on the “Cutting Edge” of football and football strategies, then I want to go back to the 80’s. Bobo clearly cannot read the defense from the booth and call the play in. He is marginalizing Aaron Murray’s potential to read defenses and make his own adjustments. Huddle up, call a play or two plays, then audible if necessary. Bobo is not capable of running this style of offense. I don’t like the players looking to the sideline for a play call. He may be going no huddle, but the play calling is the same. Two runs up the middle for short yardage then pass on third down. Samuel doesn’t know what left and right is. Did not see any three tight end sets. The best run came on a sweep with Figgins as the lead blocker. Should have done that some more to get Crowell on the edge. O-Line is actually too big which makes them slow. Murray is far from becoming an elite QB. He may set a lot of records like Zier, but doesn’t look like he can win the big one. He seems to get nervous if tight situations. Tavares King made caught his share of deep balls last year. Looks like he replaced his hands bricks last night.
Two years ago Bob called plays for Joe Cox like he had Stafford’s arm. Now his is calling plays for Murray like AJ is still catching the ball.
Charles is a stud. Malcom Mitchell was impressive. Crowell will not be able to run up middle with this o line, so they better figure out how to ge thim to the edge quickly. Need to run out of the pistol formation. Our line is too slow for these delayed draws left and right. Need more screens too.

I thought we had running backs who could run between the tackles in the i-formation? why the hell is bobo running shotgun draws all night long. M.R. says that samuels is a big bruiser, why the hell are u handing off draws to him. the best run of the night came from isaiah with a lead blocker. BoBo is supid(yeah he is a coach not me, but look at film it doesnt take a genuis to see this) That offense should easily score 35 pints every night… final word, i still believe in this team, its only 1 game, but our team was out coached last night and this is becoming a 5 year trend. Change is on its way!!!!

Since Ogletree is hurt, does that mean this genuis staff will move Samuel back to LB? How in the world can you have a 3-4 and not have enough players to cover the positions? Were there not enough recruits in the country that could have stepped in and started and you could have told on or two of them that? That is an issue. How did we get here? However, we can start going in the right direction this week. In retrospect, I think that we should’ve played Louisville

Mark Richt got out coached by Chris Petersen (my choice to replace Mark last year)
Mark is a great guy if you need a 5th for Bible Study but he needs to take some time off and focus on his ministry. He doesn’t have the heart for SEC in the trenches / take no prisoners Football…look at Nick Sabin, Les Miles, Steve Spurier…other teams love to hate those guys..you can’t get a lukewarm response from anybody about Richt. My point is if you think the guy is going to get ahead and keep his foot on the peddle you fear him…nobody fears a Mark Richt team..he gets 2 touchdowns up and puts in the scrubs until the other teams back in the game…He should have fired BoBo 2 years ago …. it must be his ministry to let this guy keep coaching because he couldn’t coach a 3A High school team in Florida with that predictable excuse for an offensive scheme. The old school SEC… (here’s where I’m going,see if you can stop me) is 5 years obsolete and so is Richt…I guess we will have to suck through another laughingstock 6-7 year… and I would rather not go to a bowl than get our hats handed to us by a MAC team on Dec 1st in the Toilet Bowl …AGAIN!!
set Mark Richt free to pursue his ministry he has no stomach for this game.

My brother lives in Gainesville and stayed home last night to watch both the Georgia and Florida games. He grew up in Georgia as well and likes Georgia as his second favorite team as well. His comment: “Richt shows no emotion on the sidelines and looks like he does not know what to do on the sidelines during a game to fix problems.” Obviously, neither do his assistants. He also said Georgia’s OL and DL looked slow with no quickess, and that Georgia tackled poorly and looked constantly confused on the field”…….and that reflects a lack of coaching. On the other side….Florida looked extremely quick on both sides of the ball last night….well prepared…..and excecuted extremely well…..and both Muschamp and Weis were doing a lot of in-game coaching on the sidelines last night.

Lowcountrydawg: you nailed it. SEC football is a full-time, 16-hour a day job, and Richt seems to be putting in about 6. Give me Nick Saban any day. He also comes across (i didn’t say “actually is”) as humble and classy, good face of the program in addition to great coach. Unlike the volatile Les Miles and the now disgraced Jim Donnan, who I always hated, especially his gloating to Leslie Visser on national TV right after beating Florida.

Halftime adjustments. UGA seemed to make NONE. Boise State figured out that we could not cover a 5-yard hook pass and ran that play down our throats. What execution on the opening second-half drive, and our pathetic time-out did nothing.
Richt has not a clue how to adjust to what is going on, or to counter the other team’s spotting our tendencies and exploiting them.
5-yard hook passes all the way down the field. Unbelievable.

“Gators for Richt” — LOVE IT!! I would be a HUGE Richt fan if I were any other school in the SEC!
When I was a kid (70s into early 80s), we beat the Gators like a drum. I went to Jax 5-6 times and never saw us lose there. Gators had competitive teams, but never upper echelon, until Galen Hall for a few seasons in mid-80s, but did you know they never won an SEC title until Spurrier?
Now they are a powerhouse.
It could happen to us.

Coach Richt is disappointed in our pass protection, really?? Bobo called how many long passes on 1st down that failed? Two or three times to Tavarres King who couldn’t get behind the defender! Sotheby’s. We run it up the middle on 2nd down for 3 yards, and have 3rd and 7 or more. Everyone in the building knows your throwng it then. Coach Richt, news flash, I could call the right defense every time in that situation.

I think the Gators….based on what I saw last night in coaching and execution…..Florida is just as good as South Carolina. But I think the SEC will be won by a team from the West….most likely LSU, Bama, or Arkansas. With MSU being a darkhorse.

You know what else he does:
1. He coaches the players up a lot during the game. I noticed last night that he was constantly coaching players, especially his QBs, on the sidelines….and constantly watching and evaluating what the other team was doing on defense. He is a offensive genius…and Florida is very lucky to have him.
2. He does run the same plays over and over again until you adjust….and then he adjusts better. He had the Florida Atlantic defense and their defensive coaches completely confused last night.

Part way through the game, I was wishing they would pull the redshirt off that South Carolina kid. He can really fly and through and Boise would not have known what hit them. alas, please demote Mike Bobo

we start out of the I formation in the second half and drive the ball past the 50 and decide to go back to the stupid &*%ing shotgun draw handoffs that didnt work in the first half. WTF what are we doing ? BoBo needs to swallow some of the skoal cramed in his mouth and get his mind right. what an idiot.

I have a hard time envisioning us beating Carolina also, but everyone is completely over-reacting to one game. It all about perspective and 90% of Dawgs fans of lost it. I had my UT friends texting me last night telling me its just one game. So we wait 9 months for this to start and after 1 night we throw it all away. That is funny.

@TampaGator, the unis were ugly, but I had more issue with the stupid helmets that kept popping off. WTH? I have never seen helmets come off that often in a game.
