Georgia’s Mark Richt gets 100th career win in dramatic fashion over UT
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Mark Richt won his 100th career game as Georgia’s head coach at the same place he recorded his first signature victory.
The Bulldogs pulled out a 20-12 victory over Tennessee Saturday night before a sell-out crowd of 102,455 at Neyland Stadium, where Larry Munson introduced the world to the hobnail boot. And Georgia nearly made it as dramatic.
The outcome was uncertain until Tennessee quarterback Matt Sims was sacked on the game’s final play. But that did nothing to quell the postgame celebration, which was said to rival the one Georgia had here 10 years ago almost to the day.
“We’re happy,” Richt said well after the locker room had cleared. “We had a great celebration after the game and it was a lot of fun. I’m very humbled at the way the players and coaches responded to me. One hundred victories is kind of hard to believe. But they belong to everyone that has played here and coached. To win here is very difficult to do.”
Made even more difficult when you lose 46 yards on two downs.
That’s what happened to the Bulldogs when they were flagged for three holding penalties and a facemask early in the fourth quarter. At the time they were eyeing first-and-10 at the Tennessee 23 and contemplating going up by at least three more points, which would have put them ahead three scores. Instead, Georgia ended up facing second-and-56 at its own 33. Two plays later they punted back to the Vols on fourth-and-58.
“I hate that there was that much drama at the end,” Richt said, now able to laugh about it, “but that’s what happens when you get fourth-and-58.”
Nevertheless, the victory was the fourth in a row for the Bulldogs (4-2, 3-1 SEC), who suddenly find themselves tied with South Carolina for the SEC Eastern Division lead. It was Georgia’s first win at Neyland Stadium since 2005.
The Gamecocks face road tests at Mississippi state, Tennessee and Arkansas in their next three games. The Bulldogs will be back in Tennessee next week to face Vanderbilt (3-2, 1-2), then get an off week before traveling to Jacksonville to face Florida.
Tennessee falls to 3-2 and 0-2 in the SEC.
Georgia broke open the game with a pair of touchdown runs by Isaiah Crowell in the third quarter. The Bulldogs’ defense, which has played so well in recent weeks, made it stand up. Crowell finished with 58 yards on 18 carries. Quarterback Aaron Murray was 15-of-25 passing for 227 yards.
“I expected it to be a war and it was,” Crowell said. “It was very physical, but we came out with the W and that’s all that matters.”
Crowell came out of the game with wrist and ankle injuries.”It’s all right,” the freshman from Columbus said. “It feels a lot better after a win. I’ll be ready to go next week.”
Georgia also lost dynamic freshman wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell in the game. Mitchell pulled a hamstring a 73-yard reception that turned out to be the most critical play in the game. He finished with three catches for 128 yards but could not play the game’s final 20 minutes.
“We don’t think he just blew it up,” Richt said of Mitchell. “He wanted to go back in. We’re hopeful he’ll be back by the Florida game. That’s what we hope.”
Tennessee lost starting quarterback Tyler Bray to a broken thumb in the fourth quarter.
Georgia’s defense was the main reason the Bulldogs were able to escape with victory. They held Tennessee to minus-20 yards rushing, recorded two sacks and kept the Vols’ quarterbacks under pressure throughout.
“I think the guys have gotten more confidence as we’ve gone along,” defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said. “We’ve played a lot of players. We’ve had safeties playing linebacker, we’ve had linebackers playing outside and inside. We actually had Abry Jones playing outside [linebacker] some today, just because of where we are with our depth because of injuries. I’m real proud of the way they’re playing and their efforts.”
Georgia was able to overcome some sloppy play in the fourth quarter in which it was penalized five times for 48 yards after reaching the Tennessee 23-yard line. Instead of at least getting a field goal that would have forged a three-score lead, the Bulldogs had to punt the ball from their own 31 on fourth-and-58.
Tennessee scored on a one-yard sneak by Matt Sims with 2:45 to play. It was just the second touchdown Georgia’s defense had allowed in the last 16 quarters. But Shawn Williams blocked the ensuing point-after attempts and the Bulldogs took over at the Tennessee 35 after the Vols onside kick went out of bounds.
With Tennessee out of timeouts, Georgia was able to run out clock before punting with 18 seconds remaining. The Vols took over at their own 20 and the game ended with Jarvis Jones sacking quarterback Matt Sims. Sims was in the game because starting quarterback Tyler Bray had been sidelined with a hand injury on the previous possession.
“We’re able to laugh about it now,” said quarterback Aaron Murray, who had 227 yards on 15-of-25 passing. “I wasn’t sure what we’d call on third-and-57, a take-off or what. We don’t want to do that. Our defense was playing great and we could have put it out of reach right there. We just have to learn from our mistakes.”
Georgia’s fortunes turned midway through the third quarter. Marlin Lane was awarded a touchdown on a 66-yard catch-and-run on third-and-long. But a protracted video review by officials determined that Lane’s knee was down on a tackle by linebacker Michael Gilliard at the Tennessee 47, three yards shy of a first down.
So instead of a touchdown, the Vols punted and Georgia took over at its own 7-yard line. Three plays later, the Bulldogs went ahead 20-6 on a 17-yard run by Crowell. The score was set up by Murray’s 73-yard strike to Mitchell on first down at Georgia’s 7.
“There was a discussion on what to do there,” Richt said. “There was that play or try to knock it out of there running the football. Mike [Bobo] wanted to throw that because he felt their coverage was going to give us the post. I said, ‘do it; throw Birmingham.’”
“I’ll be making sure Malcolm’s in the rehab room,” Murray joked. “That was the biggest play of the day. To get us down there to the 20 or so and then bunch it in right there changed the whole game right there.”

The athletic history of UGA is full of so many sordid, sleazy incidents – dating back to Vince Dooley and continuing through Mark Richt – that it’s impossible to overlook. The school has come to stand for drunkenness and lawlessness, coddling of illiterate athletes who should never have been admitted to college, and rampant cheating by coaches.
UGA and Mark Richt are an affront and an embarrassment to all decent people in this state.

All of you people calling people “fake UGA fans” because they are critical of Richt and his staff are the reason why Georgia will remain mediocre as long as Richt is the coach. We beat Tennessee because we were more talented not because of coaching. 2nd & 57 shows exactly how badly coached we are. We will lose games we should win becuase of Richt. It is time for a change.

With the contracts being done Coach Richt can focus on getting us Dream Team II and start lining up Dream Team III for following year. Then we really gets talent load stockpiled from players that can play with SEC speeds for most Christain coaching. That help restore Dawgs dominants for owning SEC.

Funny that when UF beat Tenn at home they moved up to like 13th in the polls and they were all the sudden “back.” Now UGA travels to UT and beats them just as soundly(they actually lost 10 yards rushing for the game) and UGA beat a cupcake. Just keep winning UGA and the little loudmouths here will continue to whine.

The bottom line is that Tech has not really been tested and I am not sure they will be other than Clemson. The ACC is so weak. UGA has not beat a top ranked team but we have been tested and we are making improvements and learning from the test we failed. Oh yea I can’t remember the last time we lost to Tech. You beat us and then what you say will mean something.

This is the year to keep Mark Richt from losing his job and not whether or not we win the SEC East. We have the easiest schedule (lucky for Richt) in the SEC. Forget getting to go to Big Bowl this year. We still play Florida, Auburn. and that Ga. Tech team.
1’s a psychological game (florida), then not sure about Auburn but then we have to play Ga. Tech that gets alot of yards on its ground game.
Dont forget Vanderbilt either, they played great against Bama’s offense. I will never be on the band wagon with Bobo cause he still calls stupid plays. You tried ball control late in the game and had several chances to not even make this a contest but instead they started to try ball control and lost their momentum.
Guys we have alot work to do on the OL, the front 4 on D and a QB that never looks for secondary recievers and throws the ball away instead.
Murray has alot of growing up to do before he’s a Stafford. I say try the other QB freshman for Vanderbilt game and lets see what he has. Tennessee hasnt played anyone up until last saturday and i really cant measure this game but Florida has and we’ll see who shows up 4 that 1.

Purity One,
Please take your moralistic B.S. to a blog where it will be appreciated. The only thing even remotely pure about you is most likely your ears. Every college has it’s students that will get into a little trouble.
It is part of the growing up experience in college and UGA is no different than any other major university in America. This is a blog about UGA football, not a revival meeting for you to express your opinion about the supposedly lack of morals at UGA.
Old Times are not Forgotten,
Perhaps you can join pure there for that tent meeting although I suspect that you are one and the same. Either way, you need to find an appropriate blog for your comments since nobody but you and Pure here are interested in your moralistic points of view, on a blog about Football. Surely there must be a blog somewhere that caters to your crap.

Atlanta Vol…that’s class. Thanks and good luck the rest of the season.
Purity…that’s just plain ignorant.
From Vince Dooley to…funny stuff. Do some tech-like research.
Flat Tire…very few Dawgs fans think that just because we beat Tenn, in front of one of the biggest and loudest crowds in college football, that we’re automatically going to beat Fla (or anybody else). Some of us are just saying, we won the dang game; give credit where credit’s due and not consistently find fault and bring up last year; or talk about how sorry the other teams are. We know our wins haven’t been against LSU nor Ala. All some of us are saying is, congrats to coach Richt on getting 100 wins. Congrats to the Dawgs for winning in a pretty hostile environment and stopping the #1 rated SEC QB. Congrats to the Dawgs for improving on 3rd quarter play. You and Thomas Brown, angry mangy, Pollyanna, Taxpayer and others jump on comments like “…if we had made that 1st down…” or “…if we had made that interception…” or “…if we had made that field goal…”. Well, y’all do the same thing with “…if we had Saban…” and “..if we had played LSU…”
angry mangy mutt…I was with you until you said, “…anything less than perfect should not be acceptable…” Now I understand from where you’re coming. And, I feel for ya.
The coaches and players have the SEC title as their goal, just like us fans. The players and coaches wish we had beaten Boise and S.C., just like us fans. The coaches and players also want the team to play great in all facets for four quarters. If you want perfection, you’ve picked the wrong endeavor of which to be a fan.
No, just because we’ve won four in row, we don’t think the team is perfect; nor that we’ll automatically beat Vandy or anybody else. We’re just saying…enjoy the win. Constantly berating and calling for the heads of coaches Richt and Bobo, even after a win and in the midst of the season, doesn’t accomplish a dang thing. It’s not drinking the Kool Aid; it’s bleeding Red and Black.
We all love being Monday Morning QBs; it’s fun and entertaining. But, there comes a point where constant negativity and finding fault is counter-productive. How do you know we won’t beat Flawda (or LSU or Ala)? You don’t. We’ll have a much better frame of reference AFTER the Tech game. Until then, Gooooo Dawgs!! Beat Vandy!!

The better team won, but Bobo continues to mystify even the most astute football observers with his strange choices of plays. UGA continues to under-utiize the tight ends they have (first round draft choices in the NFL draft) and adamantly refuse to run sweep options when the defense is presenting that opportunity (too much running up the middle for 2 yards). The season isn’t over, and many believe UGA will blow a game they should win because of the Bobo strategy (or lack thereof). Time to get ready for a very improved Vanderbilt, and team with a great D but no O. It’s great to beat UT ands make all the Atlanta-area Tennessee fans miserable (they mostly HATE Georgia), and no doubt they lost the game because of the refs, LOL. Again, the better team won.
