Notes: More touches ahead for Crowell, safety Williams gets look at LB
ATHENS — Freshman tailback Isaiah Crowell will get his first career start on Saturday against Coastal Carolina. Asked how many times he might like to get the ball in Crowell’s hands, Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo deadpanned, “45!”
He laughed, but Bobo was only half-kidding.
“I’d say he’s 20-25-carries-a-game guy and certain games it might be more,” Bobo said. “And then you’ve got about 15 or so for the other guy. You’d like to run it around 40 times a game, the way I see things. He might be able get 30 of them.”
The true freshman from Columbus got 18 touches in the Bulldogs’ 45-42 loss to South Carolina this past Saturday. He finished with 158 total yards – including 118 rushing – which works out to 8.8 yards per touch. He also scored two touchdowns.
Bobo feels like there’s a lot more production to be tapped. It’s a big reason the Bulldogs are giving Crowell his first career start this Saturday against Coastal Carolina.
“He’s a guy that has gotten better every week that we’ve had him on the practice field and in every opportunity he’s competed, whether it’s a scrimmage or a game,” Bobo said. “Like I said in the preseason, I think he’s going to be a very special player for us. When it happens, you don’t know. But I believe he’s going to be a special player if he continues to work and stay healthy.”
Crowell had started every game of his life since he was 6 years old before sitting behind Richard Samuel in Georgia’s first two games of the season. The 5-foot-11-215-pound athlete took Tuesday’s news in stride.
“Well, it’s not really a big deal to me,” he said of starting. “It’s just another game to go out there and help my team win.”
If Crowell is going to get more work, he’ll need to build up his stamina. Though head coach Mark Richt blamed some of it on a rib injury suffered early in the second quarter, Crowell was asking to come out of the game often against South Carolina.
“When a guy does that, you could say stay in there but you don’t know why a guy wants to come out when he’s asking to come out,” Richt said. “So he came out. I think he’ll stay in a little bit more than a couple of runs. Although there were a couple of relatively long runs, I think his endurance will build as we go, too, as he prepares and as the weather cools as the season goes on.”
Crowell said he recognizes that he needs to get into better shape and “make a better pocket” after a costly fumble against the Gamecocks. But he said he feels more confident than ever that he can make a difference for the Bulldogs.
“My performance in the game boosted my confidence, I guess,” he said. “It takes the pressure off a little bit. I feel better. My confidence is up.”
Shawn Williams works at linebacker
Safety Shawn Williams was observed working with the inside linebackers during Tuesday’s practice and could play there some on Saturday. The Bulldogs lost their starters at both inside positions – Alec Ogletree and Christian Robinson – to foot injuries the first two weeks of the season.
“We’re looking at quite a few guys in there,” defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said. “You’ve got to wait and see what happens. We’ll see, but anybody who has played the down safety can play inside.”
Williams, a 6-1, 220-pound junior from Damascus, started the first two games at strong safety. He’s third on the team with 10 tackles.
Blair Walsh: ‘That was on me’
Senior place-kicker Blair Walsh took full blame for the 33-yard field goal attempt he missed in the first half against South Carolina.
“That was my fault,” he said. “That was on me. I just came in way too close to the ball and just missed it completely. That was a one-and-only-time thing.”
The Bulldogs ended up losing by three points. But Walsh said it’s important not to dwell on that.
“Obviously it would’ve helped, but you don’t think about that,” he said. “You just move on.”
Walsh did say that, after watching game tape, he’s convinced Bacarri Rambo wasn’t offsides on the onsides kick Georgia executed late in the game.
“It didn’t look like it to me,” he said. “It was close but I think the angle the ref was at made it look worse than it was. It was too close to call, if you ask me.”
Compliance director leaving
Eric Baumgartner, Georgia’s compliance director for the past six years, is leaving to take the same post at the University of Virginia.
“He’s from Blacksburg, Va., so he gets to go back home,” said Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity, who said Baumgartner turned in his notice last weekend. “It’s an opportunity for him to go to a great institution that actually doesn’t have a compliance director right now, so he gets to build his own staff. Eric did a great job here. He came in at a really important time for our athletic association where we needed some strong enforcement.”
McGarity now has to make two compliance hires. Baumgartner’s assistant Michelle Francis recently left to join her husband at Ohio University. McGarity said he would hire a director first.
Etc. . . .
Nine true freshmen had seen action for the Bulldogs so far this season. They are: Crowell, defensive back Quintavious Harrow, linebacker Amarlo Herrera, defensive back Nick Marshall, wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell, defensive back Corey Moore, defensive back Chris Sanders, cornerback Damian Swann and linebacker Ramik Wilson. There’s a good chance that number could go up this week with outside linebacker Ray Drew, offensive tackle Watts Dantzler and center David Andrews in position to get their first playing time of the season. . . . Coastal Carolina features 19 players from the state of Georgia, including starting center Pat Williams, a 6-foot-1, 285-pound junior out of Atlanta’s Westlake High School.

10 win seasons are meaningless/ No one gets a ring for 10 win seasons
The 2 SEC titles were luck due to FL being no good thoses years because we didnt beat them on the field

Crowell deserves as many carries as we can give him! Keep up the good work IC!
Also this is m response to Bill King’s blog, from which, I am still inexplicably banned:
Respectfully, Mr. Maisel is looking at only 2 data points: the Boise State and USC games. Well, many of us UGA fans have been fans for many many years. We remember Richts 10+ years, The Donnan years, Glen Mason’s 15 minutes, The Goff Debacle, and The Dooley Era.
While I will agree that you can’t compare teams of different years to each other as the players come and go…when you look at the past 5 years worth of data points during Richt’s tenure, you see a program in decline.
Gone are the days when the dawgs are behind but we just knew the defense was going to make a huge play to turn the game. Gone are the days when when 1:45 on the clock was an eternity for our offense.
More recently, when the game is going well for the dawgs, we are waiting for something bad to happen. And when that bad inevitably does happen, the team goes in the tank. Once it starts going bad, it stays bad and for 4+ years the team and the coaching staff has given us absolutely no reason to think that they can turn the game back around.
We have been conditioned by the team and the coaches not to expect a come back. We are conditioned to expect disappointment. The Florida game is a perfect example. Do any UGA fans truly believe we will beat Florida–this year or ANY year?
Until Mr. Maisel has donated to the Hartman Fund, purchased season tickets, and experienced the same level disappointment we UGA fans have for the last 5 years…He can not shame any of us for leaving a game early.

GREAT points slydog .. and I do think Herm would be good here. Saw him in Tampa obviously. Think Tony Dungy would come out of retirement?
Eh, probably not. I know many don’t think that Petersen from BSU would come down here to coach should CMR not be retained after the season is over, but what about his OC? I think we need to find either a hot College HC from an up and coming program or an innovative OC from a school with a high powered Offense. Not many quality NFL head coaches are looking to dive in to a college program and there are some that we really wouldn’t want here at UGA.

If a player asked Wally Butts to come out of a game, that player would not be going back in. Crowell should watch the film of Herschel in the Sugar Bowl, who refused to come out, and singlehandedly won the only National Championship for Georgia. Crowell is a cat, lookin’ in the mirror in comparison.

#3 Cheering a car on that is stuck in the mud will get you no where
#4 I lost it for Richt when he put his friendship for slick Willie above the program. That told me it is about Richt not what is best for UGA. The problem with you and the rest of the kool-aid crowd on here is, you treat UGA as your favorite child that can do no wrong and should never be corrected no matter what they have done. Until you take a step back and see the big picture this program is going nowhere

Mr. Maisel is a REPORTER who is forced to stay at the game, write stories on a deadline, and interview as many coaches, players, administrators, and fans after the game. Fans, unlike Mr. Maisel, have to drive and be stuck in alot of game day traffic, which can be a dangerous situation. Fans are getting beat up, stabbed, shot, and tased by other crazy fans at games. Fans have their kids at the games. Fans have to go get something to eat cause they probably starved their a%$es off at the game. It’s not about support or disgust, but simply, the show is over. Have fan’s missed some great moments, lie comebacks? Sure. But getting back to their “regular” lives are far more important than being entertained. It his HIS job to stay at games, not the fans. Therefore, that makes him a snobbish jerk, or at worse, a lack of perspective.

Hey Towers, either you do something about the Thomas Browns on this site, or we’re gonna do something about you. It’s time…it’s time…for the fairweather, caterwauling, naysayers, including TB, to be stuffed in a box and thrown in the Oconee or something…and those, like here, that give them unlimited access to attacking the coaches and players, need to become a part of the process of ‘Richt(ing) The Ship’, or we’re gonna find ourselves another blog.
As for whoever wrote the piece talking about how excited young Mr. Mettenberger (if it’s spelled wrong, I don’t care) was about getting to throw touchdown passes against an over-matched, and already hopelessly out of it, directional team last Saturday,..I noted that the litany of transgressions they listed about why he was kicked out of Georgia didn’t include the main things that got his a$$ run off. Namely the two sexual assaults on the young Valdosta State coed and then the lying to his coaches and the Georgia Athletic department (hell, maybe even his momma who worked there) about it. Yeah, let’s don’t include those little items. Point is, the Mettenbergers and the Newtons of this world will, forever, continue to pull crap until they find out that there are consequences for breaking the law. They both should have been banned from any other SEC school for, at least, two years for what they did. But instead all they had to do is, basically, sit out a season – it’s just like they transferred for God’s sake – and return to ‘the most powerful, highest profile, conference in the nation’ with the opportunity to go on to bigger and better things without having to pay any price at all.

What if we go 10-0 the rest of the year? Will you still want Kirby Smart? Saying we need a “proven” HC is one thing, getting one is another. In many ways CMR is a “proven” HC. Yes, the last couple years have been really bad. Let’s see if he rights the ship. I think he will. BTW, the writers keep bringing up CMR being on the hot seat; that’s because they read these blog comments. Then the national media pick up on what the local writers write…and fall for it. I agree with you William@202am…the Dawgs need our support. If we lose 2 or more games the rest of the way, then it’s time for a change; at the end of the season, not now.

Oh yeah, and for those that are determined to rag on young Mr. Crowell, nobody ‘asked out’ of more games, more times than Moreno. Was he ‘gassed’? Was he hurt? Who knows, but he did. Not sure this kid is built for 25-30 ‘carries’ a game – maybe ‘touches’, cause getting him the ball on screens and drags will really open it up and avoid a lot of the ‘hits’ from just taking handoffs.

@Dirty Dawg Please, Please tell me why Cam Newton and Zach Mettenburger are in the same sentence? Let’s keep it real: CMR made a huge mistake recruiting CAM as a TE. Cam did a couple of dumb college kid things at Florida. In the two plus years since, he has done nothing but keep clean, stay positive through all the racial bias thrown his way and succeed. Mettenburger has not, to date, straightened out ANYTHING. If he could have beaten out Murray, then he should have no problem beating out Jefferson and Jarrett Lee. He hasn’t done it yet. He can continue to get drunk and molest chicks in public in Louisiana without consequences…lol

Ok Flat Tire, have I once bashed the Dawgs like you do constantly? You are correct, I am new to the forum but not the paper – does that make me less of a fan than you claim to be? I graduated from UGA, did you? While my support of UGA isn’t important to you, the players should be if you are the fan you claim to be… You once stated that you don’t bash the players, but the coaches – which is something you do on a regular basis. Now, do you think the players do not hear those things? Negativity breeds negativity, no matter where it is directed, especially the third game into a young season. Honestly, do you think your negativity makes a difference in the scheme of things? But I digress, whatever direction in which the program is moving is irrelevant to my support. Bashing the team/coaches/players is pointless, unless you are a troll – which you seem to be…

Get ready: the most likely candidate and probably the best one out of the small pool of HC with big program experience is….. Mike Gundy of Oklahoma St. After that, Charlie Strong and Dan Mullen. Urbam Meyer isn’t welcome here. And before anyone slams Gundy, look at what he did AFTER Les Miles left for LSU. And we certainly don’t have to worry about emotion or fire. Bud Foster and Tom O’Brien of Penn State are next up, but may be too comfortable where they are at currently. The next hottest asst. coach is Brett Venebles of Oklahoma. That’s it folks. Not much left out there. My suggestion to CMR is to hire Mike Leach or Rich Rodriguez as OC and Herm Edwards as DC.

Kevin Steele for DC isn’t a bad idea either. Kirby Smart is a though as HC, but something tells me there would be too much pressure on him to be successful out of the gate. Meyer is too arrogant for this fan base but everybody loves a winner.

Since you think the staff listen to us bloggers
Then I would like to take some credit in a better coached and better play calling scheme in the SC game compared to the Boise game. Because they must have saw the heat was turned up because they sure looked better last Saturday
But why does it take the heat being turned up to get this staff to wake up
Its funny how people talk about Richt showing more passion so when the heat is on we now see him throw his playbook on the field
Give me a break

You just brightened my day with that joke….lmao. Dan Reeves? Really? Quadruple bypass surgery… Chip Kelly? Too much Nike money and he has some recent dirt on him.
All in all, the list is this
1. Mike Gundy (not many changes except offensively [more wide open])
2.Skip Holtz (not many changes, except toughness)
3. Charlie Strong (only the defense changes)
4. Dan Mullen( fitting pro style players into a spread option)

Herm Edwards was FAR from an unsuccessful football coach.

People like Thomas Brown who must be the only person other than the employees who have a wikipedia account with as much as he is on there. Change coaches, watch several of the young guys who we just recruited transfer (see Will Muschamp) and watch the overall landscape of recruiting in Georgia. Better to let the season finish out, if it turns out bad in the end, have Richt do a resignation in which, for the good of the program’s future, he will work with the kids we have on the team and the new committs to keep their committment solid.

Do think top recruits are coming to UGA when we cant even beat ranked teams
Im mean Aub for example is going to get some of our recruits but the coaching staff will tell them look at what we are doing we just won a NC and this year we lost almost everybody and we are winning ballgames and still beating ranked teams, we will be back in the hunt next year.
UGA mr Recruit is downsliding and cant even beat ranked teams anymore and still never can beat FL so your chances of playing for a conference championship is pretty slim over there.

The D played well enough to win the USCe game. The problem was turnovers, which happens to all teams. Coaches can correct that and kids learn. The O put enough points on the board to win the USCe game. Take away the mistakes and UGA wins. That is also coachable. I for one was pleased to see that this years team continued to play even being down 10 points with 3 minutes left in the game. And, given just a little more time, I think that UGA would have won this game. And, according to his comments, I think that even Spurrier agrees with that statement.
So all of the hate and spew on this blog is not helpful to the program nor does it represent the reality that this year’s team is different from last years team after having lost how many players from last year? (I am sure that one of you statisticians can tell me the number). I see a different attitude and I am as happy about it as I was unhappy about last years attitude.
This is a young team. Let’s give them a chance to learn.

Williams at ILB makes a lot of sense. His big problem is that he is not fast enough or good enough as a centerfielder to play S in the 3-4, but he could actually be good at ILB and lord knows we need someone in there

I agree TD, no way UGA makes a move in mid-season and rightfully so. It’s Richt’s job to save or lose. Do I believe he can save it? No. But I hope he does, and he can if he lets whoever called the plays vs SC (student assistant, cheerleader, etc – it couldn’t have been Bobo) call them the rest of the season, he’ll keep his job.

Apples and Oranges? Rather he’s a DC or HC Hern Edwards(joke with players) would be a disaster. Thanks for using the process of elimination on those 7 coaches I presented. However, I would take Chris Petersen and Bill Cowher over Skip Holtz.
I won’t be insensitive toward your selective list of coaches, but didn’t Dan Mullen let his qb make that poor decision which caused his team the football game? That’s the kind of stuff Mr.Richt would have pull. No ty!
Didn’t Charlie Strong’s(8-8) team just lost to FIU? You’re off too a rough start young man.
