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.”

Go ahead SEC East and schedule us for your homecoming game….. No reason to fear us…. CMR has to meet his quota sellin Ford’s.. Maybe he say “”" Ford F 150 is made Boise,Tenn,Miss,Vandy,SC,Florida,Auburn,Bama,Ark,LSU,and oh Yes Tech tough “”" Is Bobo’s sister the Octo mom… and the reason he’s in the booth is so he change Diaper’s.. not cool on the side line.. lol Bet Hershel walker was glad he wasn’t Crowell or Samuels last night…

Speaking of impressive……I am sitting here now watching the replay of the LSU game. LSU is…..well…..probably the class team of the SEC. With all their issues the last couple of weeks….and they come out and whip up on one of the top 10 teams in the country. Less Miles may sometimes talk like a moron…..but I think he is just trying to fool the rest of us. The man can recruit…..and then coach up those recruits big time…..unlike Richt….who can recruit…..but I think spends too much time reading the Bible when he should be reading the play book with his players.

You and I both know Richt lost his swagger (magic/confidence)) in the Alabama nationaly televised game where they beat the crap out of our all in black 30 to nothing at half. Nothing has been the same since and He’s lost his nerve and passion for Georgia football. We have the second best talent base in the country and can’t compete with fricken Boise State! How embarrassing is that! We need to start over! Pretty soon we’ll probaly have Texas A&M and Virginia Tech in our conferance kicking our “nice” ass. Richt isn’t going to lead us into elite status….he has no energy for GA and must go…how pathetic? Come on fellow Dawgs, we all realize down deep the truth….Mr. Mark has to go. He doesn’t bleed Red and Black! Time to get some passionate football minds on our side;good Lord it’s over due!

We got whipped.. whippy whipped tonight. Mark Richt has got to go (.) Same ole, same ole, team is unprepared, mentally undisplined (missed tackles, penalties) offensive line looks like they are playing in quick sand. They were completely dominated. And completely inept offensive play calling. Why on earth on 4th and 1 do you think you can get a yard when you have been dominated up front all game long? wtf??
When Richt came to UGA and the sec, the conference didnt have coaches like Saban, Meyer, Petrino.. Look what happened to the programs that hired these top caliber coaches.. Alabama goes from an average team to winning national title within a couple years.. Same with Florida at the time Meyer came in. It is obvious Richt is not on these guys level. The bar has been raised in the SEC and it is UGA made a coaching change to atleast compete.

@TampaGator….I agree with your comments except the uncalled comment about reading the bible…doesn’t have anything to do with whether he can coach or not….You and I both know that comment serves no purpose regarding the state of our team….Just for the record we didn’t play Fla Atlantic last night either…Not sure why so many of you want to somehow bring up Coach Richt’s religion….I don’t believe that has anything to do on whether he can coach or not….

“We have a lot of work to do,” Richt said. “But SEC play hasn’t even started. It’s a long season. We’ve got to get our minds right. A game like this, no question, we know more about our football team than if we played someone and beat them by 40. Hopefully that translates into us learning how to play better in these type of games and better see where our weaknesses are.”
—-I am personally glad Richt is not the head coach at Florida. A head coach should be able to recognize strengths and weakness on the 1. practice field 2. a game against a great team or 3. a game against a weak team. I think I understand now….Richt can’t see strengths and weakness in his team unless he loses a game…which, according to Muschamp, is something that is never a good thing. Accept losing and you become a loser. Maybe Richt is willing to accept losing… but I don’t think Georgia fans are willing to do so.

I’m still wearing my dousche red shoes today. Coach T has the boys out running the military obstacle course and Coach Grantham is going to light into them later this afternoon after his lap band surgery. I’m rubbing in my Rogaine with Minoxidyl right now and still lookin good.. I may see my local HRS representative this afternoon to have a few more hairs to comb over next week. We’re gonna come out like the Canes with smoke and strobe lights. Crowell will have his coming out party if he can keep from falling all over himself in the backfield. We’re gonna tweet Spurrier this week and dare him to kick to us. I told the team we need to tweet more to rally the troops.

What can you say about Richt and his program? MEDIOCRE is the only way to describe this coach, his coaching staff, and the state of his program. This guy has destroyed the program, and he continues to sit there and embarrass all UGA fans time and time again on national T.V. If this guy had any morals at all like he says he does, he would admit he can’t get the job done anymore, and he would resign. He would not sit there and continue to bring this program down any farther. He would give back his $3 million dollar salary and move on. He has made this program a disgrace to the SEC and especially all UGA fans. All of you Richt lovers can say whatever the hell you want, but there are many coaches out there that are more talented and more qualified than this idiot to run this program. He was never a good head coach, he just happened to inherit a ton of talent, and he had a great D.C. to bail his sorry ass play calls for 4 or 5 years. He was also fortunate that Saban, Meyer, and Myles weren’t established when he came into the league. This guy is so full of himself, and it makes me and many UGA fans sick at our stomach’s to listen to him talk about how “we have alot of work to do” Give me a damn break, he and his pathetic coaching staff that he hired have no clue now, nor will they ever have a clue on how to design a game plan that will win in the SEC. How can any UGA fan sit there and continue to support the pitiful product this guy puts on display. My god, people, either ask McGarity and Adams to end this B.S., or hell we should all go find a team we can actually feel good about every saturday. Oh for the same old Richt lovers that get on here and rave about what he did 6 years ago, get a damn life and face reality. I hope you like getting humiliated on National T.V., and i hope you enjoy living in the past. Hell, i bet you even still brag about 1980, so pathetic.

dawgster I agree. The religion aspect is just something that is superfluous to the conversation. It is about coaching. Now whether or not Bobo was calling CMR’s playes last night or not is not been made public. But the playbook (also learned by our THIRD year QB although he is only playing in second) certainly has more plays in it than the four I saw called all night last night.
On the bright side, maybe Bobo wasn’t making adjustments because he was copying Boise State’s tunnel screen plays that worked so well and their sweeps. I know we don’t have #34 anymore, but I sure miss the days of “It’s a toss sweep on the right side to Herschel, 5, 10, finally brought down after a gain of about 12. ” I don’t think big #34 could have made more than about three yards the way we blocked last night.

Dawgster……
My comment had nothing to do with the Bible or religion of anyone……the comment is reladed to Richt and my belief that he does not spend enough time in the film room and working with his players….based on what I have seen and read. FYI……I posted already that Florida Atlantic was not a very good team but that you could already see the coaching impact Muschamp, Weis, and Quinn have had on the Florida team…..a very good one.
P.S. Muschamp is a deeply committed Christian…….and lives it just as much a Muschamp…..but I am told that Muschamp was in the film room after the game last night with Weis and Quinn looking at the Florida Atlantic game film. Where was RIcht after the game last night? My point about the Bible…..just because Richt wears his religion on his sleeve and flashing his candle so everyone in the public can see…..and the Bible talks about people who do that….if I correctly remember my Catholic upbringing.
So….Dawgster…..relax…..I am not attacking Richt’s religion….I am attacking his commitment to coaching….not his commitment to God.

@TampaGator…now I will agree with you there…the dawg fans do not accept losing, although it has been a too common pattern…You know I’m going to defend the dawgs and Coach Richt when people post what I feel are uncalled comments, especially about his religion…His religion should be left out of it and I got to believe you would feel the same way if it were your HC at florida…You know some of the stuff that was said about Meyer, regarding his health or his personal life…that was uncalled for in my opinion regarding any coaching he did last year…One thing I will say though is, I was not one that thought we were going to be all world, however, I didn’t expect some of the things I did or did not see last night…Thought we would be better up front on both sides of the ball…I was wrong…Our team also seems to have injuries at the worst possible positions of need, but I know that is football, but we have had more than our share compared to some…The lack of depth on our O-lines and at Lb’s are very discouraging, I hold the coaches responsible for that, understanding that some of it was out of their control..
Our Rb situation is dreadful…I said last recruiting that we needed to bring in at least 2 RB’s…didn’t happen and now the mess we are in is that we are depending on a very talented but young freshman to be the saviour, but we have no one else…Its unfortunate that R. Samuel is not a college Rb in my opinion…He is however one of the finest persons with the best attitude and team player we have…Willing to do whatever to help the team…I still believe he would serve us best if he continued to learn the Lb position, but at this point what additional damage would that do to this young man….Leave him at Rb and lets hope he will make some plays at some point, but until our overhis head OC puts us in some positions to win the results from Sat nights will continue…I still think Coach Richt has not forgotten how to coach, but his loyalty to his assistants will be his downfall….Of course at some point the coaches can only do so much….The players have to execute and ours just don’t do it consistently if we are to be relevent again in the SEC…As I said before we didn’t play a slouch of a team Sat, so until next week against SC I will be careful what I say, but right now, just full of frustration….go dawgs….

Did anybody ask Aaron Murray why he quit on the team at the end? He took a dive on the last play and just quit. If I were a Georgia fan, I’d really be questioning the kids heart. Did everybody miss that? He just laid down like a little girl, took his ball and went home. Murray is the most overrated QB in the country and a quitter on top of that.

It is so easy to be critical of someone else when you have nothing to lose so many people make statements based on nothing more than their hurt pride. Boise State is a very good team and had their way with UGA. Why do so many of the comments on here refer to superior talent at UGA? Obviously Boise had better talent last night. I think Crowell did he best he could with what he had to work with and will have a very good season. The outcome of the game last night was pretty much as expected. I did however expect the D to put pressure on Moore. Good luck next week against USC. I expect considerable improvement and think that we have a chance to win, but USC should be at least a TD favorite.

@Murray is a Quitter….doubt very seriously if you have the guts to get out on the field and stand in that pocket and take the hits he took and does take along with other QB’s that are Div 1 Qb’s…Real easy to judge something from watching it on a TV screen and then get on your computer and call someone a quitter….As many Qb’s know they are asked to avoid unneccessary hits when possible…That may mean taking a slide or running out of bounds instead of taking on a steamrolling LB….The young man suffered a severe broken leg his senior year and against all odds was able to get back on the field for his team in the State Championship game….against anyone’s wildest expectation…So to say he is a quitter is absurd…

Dawgster…….
I said it….and I will say it again. Meyer sacrificed the Florida team last year for money…..the 4 mil in salary in fact. He did not coach much at all last year (except on Saturdays) and put the team in the hands of Addazio….who was not an OC and had too many duties to be effective as the real head coach last year. He also did some things in his personal life that he is paying the price for doing. Meyer’s stress and health issues were directly related to his actions. He is obviously taking the time now to re-esablish his family relationships and get mentally, physically, and spiritually healthy again….and then will probaly go back and coach again….probably back home in Ohio next year.

Nothing was addressed in the offseason. The S&C still is garbage. All i heard all summer is how hard the new workouts are and i thought that was a warning sign. Anyone can make a workout hard, but can you make the workout produce results on the field of play. Our answer is no we were out of gas in the second quarter and were cramping in a dome envrionment before half time. Not one Boise player cramped up. At this level of play the S&C coach must have a ton of knowledge of the science of exercise. It is hard to improve someone who already runs a 4.4 and lifts 350 on the bench and squats 500. You have to know what you are doing to improve great athletes not be an ex videographer. Lets hire the ball boy to coach the O line cause he played center in pound ball.

Concerning Murray……..
I think he was exhausted on that last play. When Georgia pulled to 28-14….the cameras showed Murray pulling for the defense to make a stop so he could get back in to get his team back in the game. But, as we know, the defense did not hold up that end of the bargain. And neither did the Georgia offensive line or RBs or WRs….last night. The one player I saw playing well and giving it all he had on every down…..was Murray. But, unfortanately, he was mostly doing that when falling backwards from the pass rush or when he was running for his life due to the poor play of his OL, RBs, and WRs. The only WR I saw of any worth last night…..was the freshman WR from Valdosta. Charles simply took too many downs and plays off. The NFL is watching that with him.

I just watched the replay of that last down again……Murray had no chance on that play…..and he did look exhausted and totally frustrated with the effort of his OL on that play. It was more that the OL quit….not Murray.
By the way….if you are wondering…….I am still recovering from some minor surgery and have nothing better to do today that blog. But I still managed to visit The Swamp last night…..even though the wife didn’t think I should. But some things are just more important than health, right?

I say put Samuel back at LB to sub for Tree, pull Murray out of the game ,when he plays like last night and against UCF and give someone else a chance to shine. Murray holds the ball too long and seems unable to see down field being so short. And why is it that when we need 3 yards for a 1st dowm, he throws the ball 20 yards down field. Get the 1st down and control the ball.

Murray is not UGAG’s problem, he is a gamer and a damn good QB. UGAG’s problem is the OL and DL. How can they be so thin at LB and on the lines with all the 4-5 star recruiting. The biggest problem UGAG has is misjudging talent, character and how to use and coaching up players. Not the the game plan.

Peterson is one h3ll of a coach imagine what he could do with our athletes but i wonder if he would recruit some of our athletes some of them seem to have questionable character and he only recruits young men that will buy completely in to his concept of a team. Some of our guys have no clue what being a team consist of and how each man counts on the other to do his job like on 4th and one orlson charles has to pick up the unblock d-end instead of just run by him and not even touch one player then when someone does not do his assignments someone else has to pick him up like the fullback on that very same play has to see the unblock d-end out of his periphy and pick him up instead of just run up the middle and not lay a hat on anyone in makes you wonder what we do in practice do we practice football or play frisbee and hide and go seek and basketball bc we dont practice football

I take that back. Are you in middle school and believe that sentences have no of punctuation in order for them to make sense or make them readable?

TampaGator i appreciate your feedback your first comment was very accurate but your second comment was stupid and you were being a smartass about health because i have played sports my entire life with injuries and still went out on the field smart or not smart just the competative nature in me.

Georgia WILL bounce back against SC – I don’t know about SC either as a team – they really struggled in the 1st half against a weakling like East Carolina. USC was looking pretty bad until Garcia came into the game. STILL EC put up 37 points and over 350 yards offense – with 250 yards RUSHING (against an SEC team). So – SC appears to be pretty weak on defense. This may be the coming-out party for Crowell.

Ditto to you about use of punctuation. I enjoy reading posts, but not 35 run-on sentences.

I appologize for my lack of puncuation and spelling. I didn’t realize this was a spelling and grammer contest. This is a blog, not a class essay. If you would like me to use correct literature, I will. This is T
