Drew couldn’t start before, you sure don’t start him on the road against this offense that will throw it 50 times.

Anybody else notice what Stafford can do when he has a defense to help him get the ball back?

Ray Drew is a vocal leader and now, maybe it his HIS time to play and lead. He is supposedly a great D player, so let him play.

We all know (folks my age) that Jake Scott was not a practice player but come game day he usually played well. He went on to be called even today, one of the “best safeties in the NFL” with his 2? MVP Super Bowl awards with Miami and the Redskins.

It is Ray’s time to star. Let him play. Let Washington sit and watch for two or three or four games. It is what it is. HE MADE the decision to get blitzed and DRIVE. THAT DECISION WAS HIS MISTAKE, so let him watch the next three or four games. Oh well.

GO Dogs!

Vasser should probably get the majority of playing time as a result of this. But Drew is a fast kid for his size and may be pretty effective against the passing game as well. He should see a jump in his PT as well so the staff can get a look at what he is capable of. If he shines, who knows, the defense may just get exponentially stronger.

• Report this comment

I thought we played as well in the first half as we have in at least a year. It was a good win. Concerned that the offense really bogged down in the 2nd half despite getting the ball back often from the defense (best defensive game in probably 3-4 years for the Dawgs)and the O also had some great position.

Murray was pretty mediocre completing just over half his passes and 3 picks isn’t going to get it done for UGA most weeks. That pick 6 in the 4th quarter was frightening. Georgia was putting the game away and that play was one that kept hope alive for MS State.

Murray hasn’t been very good in the 4th quarter of games and it is starting to become a big enough sample size that it is starting to have some meaning. I hope that he is able to progress and take care of the football and play well in the 4th quarter.

It also concerning that despite Richt stating that Mason has earned some playing time, he isn’t playing. I’m NOT saying bench Murray, but we need to have a 2nd quarter back with game experience in the program.

1.) What if Murray doesn’t progress going into his Junior year? We don’t have anybody else who has played in an SEC game that can step up

2.) What if Murray gets hurt (see Florida facing Bama, LSU, Auburn, and UGA without a QB with any experience.

I’m not saying bench Murray. It won’t kill Murray’s development to say to him “we are going to give Mason once series in the first half of the TN game. He has practiced hard just like you and he deserves to see the field. If Murray is struggling and Mason is playing well, he might play more in the second half.

It isn’t like we NEVER punt or turn the ball over when Murray is QB, so it shouldn’t be that scary a proposition. We might even score or move the ball and improve field position during that one series int eh first half.

For those wondering why Washington is still around, I would bet a big reason is how he is handling things. He didn’t lie to the police, so I bet he didn’t lie to Richt or other UGA officials. He is ready to pay the price for his crime, and it was a crime.

I would also bet he is not a ‘problem child’ for Richt and the staff. We see Washington being suspended for two games and someone else getting kicked off the team. What we don’t see are the other, internally managed issues. And yes, there is the third factor, causing more trouble than your worth. The great John Woooden (also a devote christian and coach) admited to treating players differently due to the goodwill they had put in the bank prior to an offense.

We will miss Washington but we also have to believe Richt and Grantham will do their best to put the best replacement strategy in place and adjust when issues arise. If its Vasser, Drew, someone else, or some combination.

Spin Spin Spin. The UGA nation is full of irrational logic and reasoning. The fact that a player does not respect the program enough and embarrasses the team with dui and major speeding says alot about the mindset of some UGA players. Other players leaving in droves. One normally sees transfers and bad behavior with a coaching change and with an established secure program and coach.

• Report this comment

Lowcountry – Wins over a I-AA team and two teams with losing records is hardly a reason to believe that someone has replaced the tires on said bandwagon. The fact is that Richt is still very much on the hot seat. The Dawgs haven’t played 4 quarters all season. The offense is still inconsistent and predictable. The OL cannot pass block to save their lives, and cannot consistently open holes for the running backs. As the competition toughens throughout the rest of the season, we will see whether or not this team has turned it around, or if they have been the beneficiaries of a soft schedule over the past 3 weeks.

The bottom line is that this team doesn’t have (and hasn’t had for several years) a killer instinct. The coaching just isn’t there. Until proven otherwise, that will remain a fact, as well as the key reason why Richt, Bobo, & company will be discussed as hot seat occupants.

In this case, Orson Charles. And believe me, most every SEC team would take Orson in a heartbeat if they could.

I guess, Murray could target Tavarres “Dropsies” King a little more.

My guess is: that our starter is very much in need of as much work as possible to get better himslef, and as critical as every game is going forward, taht is the over-riding concern. I think you pull your starter when he has had (or is having a string of) good games, not when he struggles. The goal is to improve at that position, not see what somebody else can do. Mason’s best chance to play is when they can iron out some of Murray’s wrinkles. No way they are going to start a “controversy” by pulling somebody who just threw a pick. (plus not wanting the game to go any worse at that point) So I would say it’s been an issue of timing and situation. IF the chances of winning were improved, then OK. That’s not the situation with playing Mason.

I would tend to agree with you. After the 3rd INT and a pick six it is time to try something different if only for a series or two. Murry wasn’t having a good day at all. This on the heels of a bad day at Ole Miss. The Missy ST game should easily have been a blowout if the offense was clicking like the defense was. Other than one long drive in the 1st half it was all short field. Yes the score was in our favor but, the offense couldn’t make pooh stink

I don’t like coaches having a quick hook with the qb and a lot of throws have a razor-thin margin for success or failure so you don’t want your qb staring over his shoulder. However, CMR and CMB have got to get the message across to Murray that he has to protect the football. If a running back fumbled the ball 3 times in a game you can be sure he would be riding the bench for awhile. Murray has got to learn ball security.

I’d LOVE to play Mason more. We don’t have that luxury right now. Murray HAS to improve and that’s the bottom line. So he plays through his bad games (which BTW , we were losing last year) He’s the guy we need playing well right now. Mason is NOT going to come in and start in the critical games this year, so all this talk about him is just white noise.

I totally agree that the MSU score differntial was a good opportunity but I think the irony is, that Murray throwing the pick 6 probably short circuited what was probably Mason coming in.

That is my point exactly – we were leading by 3 scores – but our offense had been sputtering all day because of INTs and other issues. I dont believe anyone would say that our offense has been smooth and consistant through more than a half all year. We have played very well in games but the defense seems to be making offensive problems not matter so much.

To your bottom line – IF (and only if) we had given Mason time to play in the ole miss and MST games and he was as fluid as the one (notably patsy game) that he played in, I would not fear putting him in at all. Remember he did have a fairly large screw up in the florida game last year. I dont know if there are any dawg fans out there right now that are not a bit scared at what he may do in a big game again. Obviously now we cant play mason as the starter in a game like FL but I may have been comfortable with it if he had played 3-6 series in all games to date and looked good.

My bottom line – we know that Murray has a hard time finishing big games. We know he is a VERY good QB. We also know he can royally screw up at times (as everyone can). What we do not know is whether Mason could flow better with the 1st team offense in big games. When we are ahead as far as MST – shouldnt we find out?

@90 Proof… The only team UGA needed to lose a game was USCe. All the other teams, UGA can care less if they lose or not, as long as UGA takes care of business and beats them when the time comes. Your statement about backing into the SEC East is silly and pointless at this point in the season. I would have to say UGA is trending up while USC is trending down. And after Florida getting abused by Alabama, and soon to be LSU, not sure what kind of team they will have to go an face a shizo Auburn team.

No, UGA is fine right now, and will take on UT. Pull out a one point win out of Knoxville and UGA will get that much more confident. Lose, and we shall see. But in spite some inconsistencies on our O, UGA still is capable of scoring points from anywhere on the field and at any time. You just don’t know if there is going to be a costly mistake(penalty, turnover, missed assignments). It makes for eager watching, that is for sure. I am on the side UGA beats UT Saturday night. We shall see.

For those of you that want Ray Drew to play I hope we are not disappointed. Drew will be good but there is a reason why he has only been in on a few plays this year. He isn’t quite ready for the speed of the SEC and his endurance needs to get better. Hopefully he is ready but Vasser has done a good job and may get the majority of the snaps. Ray Drew may not have played enough not to get a red shirt still , so that could also be an issue.
As good as the defense has looked I have no comment as to who should play , Grantham will decide and that’s good enough for me. I still say we should give Grantham an extension now and pay him whatever he wants in order to lock him down before someone else gets into the mix.

@ Altamaha – I agree completely. Part of UGA’s problem is that we don’t play our entire roster. Letting Mason play a few series here and there has nothing to do with with Murray necessarily. Every team is one play away from being in Florida’s shoes. Also, IF Murray can’t fix his ball protection issues, we have a viable, experienced back-up.

Hate reading this about Washington …… the young adult made a mistake and needs to be accountable.

As far as replacement on the team – I do not care as long as the person playing has earned it on the practice field and work habits. If it is Vasser or Drew – I do not care. Let the best guy play.

@confused out west – are you kidding me? Let Hutson Mayson play after the pick six – talk about lifting the spirits of our competitor. Murray is the starter and the team started to bog down – this had more to do with defensive adjustments MSU made to shut down our run and our coaches did not counter. Hindsight being 20/20, where were the screens. the quick slants, the things Boise did????
The things we did to USCe when we picked up the tempo with a quick passing game. This quick passing game opened up some running room – which MSU was dedicated to shut down.

Now – to your point – Murray made some poor decisions in two of the throws. give MSU some credit – but Murray is a very good QB and hopefully this will benefit him down the road.

Throwing Mason in to the wolves during a momentum shift would have been nuts.

You are confused my friend for not understanding this – hence confused out west.

I am more concerned with our horrible field goal kicking success rate. under 50% for the year – bad snaps, etc. This will bite us – as it did in a 3 point loss to USCe and a missed 29 yeard field goal earlier in the game.

Washington registered a .12 after not drinking for a couple of hours. That means he had at 5 or more drinks before he got into his car. Going 92 after drinking that much. He is very fortunate because it’s hard enough controlling a car at 92 M.P.H. sober let alone drunk. My question is why would anybody be stupid enough to get into the car with him. Because this is his first offense he got 1 game for being drunk in public and one for D.U.I. He will have a lot to make up to his team when he gets back , hopefully he will be a better man for it. I think the punishment is fair since nobody got hurt and it was his first offense. It’s not excusable but everyone should be able to make a mistake and learn from it as long as it didn’t affect other people much.

I think it may well come down to the game in Jax. We will probably be 4-3 coming into that game because it appears we’ll be starting a true freshman QB on the road against LSU and Auburn.

Not so sold that UGA loses this game, unless there is another second half fizzle. This has been the hallmark of the team for 3 seasons. Tyler Bray has yet to win a game outside of Tennessee, so that doesn’t mean he is all-world exactly. Plus Justin Hunter is out. UGA and CMR should be extra motivated to take it to….Da’Rick Rogers, regardless of what they say. He jumped ship in an under handed manner.

I have to agree with Ogeechee Dawg. For the real fans (and not trolls – read: rooster, 90, blah, blah, blah), putting Mason in during the wrong time would not produce desireable results.

He can absorb it in the film room when they look at it 17 times.

We have to realize that last year, AM had the best receiver in the SEC to throw to. Im sure there were alot of times that AJ went up and got the ball just because he was a better athlete then most.

It’s not about punishment IMO, it’s about getting his head in the game. Murray made a few pretty demn chitty throws that were not intercepted.

IMO, you can overlook mistakes and flaws to a degree but, when they begin to repeat themselves it is time for corrective action

Ogeechee – this is not a 1 game rash decision to offer some playing time to another QB. I cant think of another coach in the league that wouldnt give the backup playtime after the starter threw 3 INTs including a pick six that put the other team in the game. This is also not just 2 bad throw decisions but two years of combined issues in big games and a downward trend in passer rating.

Again, up that much against a team that we are dominating on defense isnt a big risk IMO. Yes it may give the other team some hope but we havent been massively up in any game for a couple years (minus pointless ones). You are completely right that the playcalling could have helped Murray a lot and so could the line. That does not make up for his poor decisions. Even the coaches have said as much.

In short – my opinion is just that – an opinion. I stand by Murray as the starter but also see some real questions in him and some real potential in Mason. I dont belive that makes me confused about the issue Ogeechee, I believe that makes me have a different opinion than you…

Yes Altamaha, we are in a rebuilding year and all bets are off. I would have to go back and review the plays and reads Murray saw before I could really say about USC. The pattern is that Murray is turning the ball over at a rate that will cost us some football games against good teams.

I was surprised at the way we dominated MSU, our defense really has a chance to be good, but against a Bama or LSU should we make it that far, a couple of turnovers would probably kill us, aka UF vs Bama Saturday night.

AltamahaDawg, your 1:49 post hit the nail on the head. I laugh at the thought of putting Mason in after the pick 6 because then its a 2 score game. So let’s take a guy that people already know doesn’t have SEC experience and put him in in a situation where a mis-read on a defense, a high pass getting tipped, or even an pass behind a receiver can result in another pick 6 with an ensuing onsides kick on the way and we all know the special teams this year have been struggling as well. People are quick to point out the picks but quick to forget the drives that got them the 3 TD lead in the first place.

What I”m saying is that putting him on the bench for a few series a game is another option that coupled with what you said might help accomplish the results we’re all looking for. In addition, it gets Mason a “little” game experience, which we could need. We all know we’re one play away from Murray being unavailable.

Georgia is 7-5 this year if they play in the West. The fact remains, however, that we play in the Eastern Division. Georgia will beat Tennessee, b/c they are a one-dimensional team. We will stuff the run, pressure Bray into making mistakes (a la Florida game), control the clock with IC, use play-action to open up deep threats on our side of the 20, and grind them down moving the chains and smothering them on defense. Vasser will take the TE coverage priorities, J.Jones will hold the majority of pass-rushing responsibilities, and the defensive secondary will step-up to force some big-plays. If we get up early, Neyland will be a void.

altamaha – you are correct – they probably would not have opened up the pass game as they didnt with Murray in the game. They could have allowed Mason to get some reps handing the balll off (same results as Murray would have had) and ALSO play some of the short dump passes that Mason did SO well with in the one game he played in. I do agree though with everyone that Bobo probably would not have made that adjustment – but that is a whole other arguement.

I will argue all day that while our defense was doing so well – they havent given up a real touchdown in two SEC games – it wouldnt have been dangerous for putting in Mason. Even if he did the same as Murray (ie handing off the ball) it would give him the feel of a real game that he needs if Murray goes out. It also has the POSSBILITY of letting him throw short quick passes and opening up the running game some. Murray with 3 INTs basically told the defense that we would not pass anymore. That turn everything very one dimensional. Putting Mason in would have confused them some and potentially offered some new play avenues.

What if Murray throws a 4th pick and then six without trying another QB and then they do the onsides….etc? EVERYONE would be against Richt (and maybe Murray) than a bad Mason play. Murray already has shown he can lose games with picks. He already has shown he can throw 3 picks in this exact game. Mason is a blank slate. While there is NO reason to think he would do any better than Murray for sure, there is NO reason to believe he wouldnt offer some difficulties to a MST defense and some new life to UGA with a quick set of short throws.

Again, this is all speculation but that is my point. We dont know if we have an option in Mason till we try him in what is a fairly safe but REAL game situation.

I hear ya confused, but I don’t think with the game still not completely in hand that that is the time to TRY out Mason. The team still has a chance to have a very good year. I think at this point, Mason should be getting about 50% of the snaps in practice with the first team offense to see what he can do there. But no way do you make the change mid way through the 4th quarter of an SEC game.

Give him those snaps, then if Murray struggles against UT, then maybe you give Mason 100% of the snaps before the Vandy game and let him start.

I’m not sure I get all the comments complaining about Richt/Bobo’s conservative play calling with the lead in the last couple games. When you are up by 3 scores and your offense is giving up more points in turnovers than your outstanding D, doesn’t it make sense to protect the lead and trust your D to do the job? If a more conservative offense doesn’t give up 21 points to SC, do the Dogs come out ahead in that one?

It’s obvious by comments on this article as well as other ones that CW’s actions immediately reflect on UGA, the team and the staff. Who knows what younger players and kids will do similiar things because CW and some of some of his past team mates did it.

If UGA controls Tenn. passing game, that ends their offensive output. Bray may be a good QB in the future, but like so many detractors and haters of UGA football, complain, what has he done against good competition? He didn’t do well against the one SEC opponent he faced, and his stats. have benn elevated by having played Montana, Cinn. and Buffalo. Darn, I am over 60 years old, and I might be able to pitch a couple of TD’s against that quality of an opponent. He didn’t look exactly like a game breaker against a quality defense, and UGA will bring a lot of pressure on him, so time will tell. Pressure him and give him happy feet, and those stats. will sink like a torpedoed ship. Worse even for this youngster, is the fact that after UGA, they play Alabama and LSU in a row. Welcome to big time SEC play young man.
UGA’s offensive output in the second half, is the direct result of how Bobo thinks he is suppose to manage a game. In a post game interview, he stated that if they get a lead in the first half, they try and slow down the offensive play calling in ther second half and basically leave it up to the defense to keep the win. This conservative play calling will get you killed in the SEC. Think Spurrier, Saban, or cheesestick are going to sit back and try and hold onto a lead in a game. Bobo, is just not my choice as the leader of the offense. When you have a team down, you don’t give them a chance to get up, you step on their back and keep them down.
Another thing I noticed and I think it explains a lot is that Murray is starting to get gun shy in the pocket because he has gotten sacked and battered a lot. This offensive line, will give the runners some holes , but they are not made for holding a block all day long, while Murray waits for a WR to get open 45 yards downfield. We need to use more slants, short out passes and short passes over the middle. We do not need to go for broke every other play. If you want to keep the other team off the field and keep them from scoring, keep the offense on the field with high probablility plays, instead of bombs. Run the heck out of the defense on the other side and make them stop you that way. A coach is suppose to play to the strengths of his players, not try to make the players conform to a style they are not suited for. WR’s like Mitchell will be just as successful, taking a pass, 10 yards downfield and then getting his yards after the catch. I hope that we utilize this fine bunch of young talent better in the future.

GO DAWGS and GATA

Merry Marr and you’re only concerned with spouting off stuff you know NOTHING about. Cleaning up the program? Compare it to soooo many others out there and their legal AND NCAA issues and you’re looking at a very very clean UGA program.

Thank God Damon Evans got most of this schedule. McGarity made the deal for BSU.

The most disturbing thing about the rest of the season is the article about ‘the dogs satisfied about where they are’ bs. Seems the ‘coaching down’ is taking hold. And the cheerleaders yelled,’Medi’. And the crowd responded,’Ocrity’.
Can we get a Kool-Aid product recall?
I’ve heard that Coach Richt and Nutt have petitioned the SEC to reinstate the provisions that allow for ties. 0-6-6 Bulldogs Coach Richt says ‘we were just a few plays away from a much different season, and we all look forward to the 2012 Dream Team’. He and Coach Bobo are putting together a few new wrinkles for the offense next year. On balance, Bulldog fans have a lot to look forward to in2012.

Honky Talkin’, News Flash, Bama and LSU make all other BCS schools second tier, not just the SEC.

I wonder what Ray Drew will get arrested for, and when? Surely it’s only time – every dawg has his day (in court).

Now is the time for Drew to step up. If he gets in the lineup he may never ride the bench again. His speed, feel for contact make this kid a NATURAL. His HIGHSCHOOL coaches love him (don’t they all?). If he can’t cut however there is a kid down here in ALAMO, WHEELER COUNTY that is lighting it up. He is only a middle schooler, but word is SABIN, PATERNO, and DENTON (Central Florida!!!) are watching this wunder kid.beat up running backs AND recievers alike. His name is Osmond Litchfield and he IS the real deal. GOOGLE the name, watch the film – wow what a football player.

@Joshua Barlowe

So you are one heck of a Dawg Fan I see? For your info, Ray Drew is an ordained minister and the son of a minister. He is by far, head and shoulders above the drunk and disorderly. Maybe next time you make a comment, know what youy are talking about.
