We need Marshall to come to Georgia. Its obviously that Crowell is talented, but its also obvious that he is not an every-down back. We need another highly talented RB to join this team and provide a viable option of fresh legs. Lets face it, if Crowell and Carlton Thomas are that effect spelling each other, imagine the duo of Crowell and Marshall….

Crowell does not seem to be an every down back nor does he want to be. This should be a good sign for Keith Marshall. If he comes to UGA/Tailback U, he will get plenty of carries. An SEC team needs more than one TB and having to great TB’s like Crowell and Marshall would make quite a tandem. It’s all good if you are a Bulldawg these days.

Its a shame when you see the flashes of brilliance that Crowell isn’t as tough as some of our favorite backs of the past. Remember Knowhon? No matter how hard you hit him, he bounced right back up and was ready to go again. Boy I miss seeing that. Remember Hershel, he would carry it 30 or 40 times a game and be ready for more. My favorite Hershel quote, “the ball ain’t heavy!”

The kid is young and you can tell he is growing up slowly but surely, and becoming a real team player. He is finally starting to realize he will have to play with those little dinks sometimes and just tighten up his chin straps and ignore little aches and pains. Take an example from the big uglies that played the game. They are hitting the opposing player each and every play. They never get used as a decoy, to throw off the other sides players. IF UGA can get Marshall in the stable to go along with Crowell, I think the offense will have a great capability to score a lot of points and keep a lot of defensive coaches awake at nights before a game against UGA. Even, if UGA misses out on Marshall, I think we will recruit another pretty good back and if we can keep them healthy, we do have some back ups as well. We do have a couple of OL recruits but I hope we can pick up a few more this year. I think a CB or two would be nice also, but over all UGA is not in too bad a shape overall for next year.
We have the All SEC QB already and he has really started to put it together this year, so there is still more upside to come. We have some of the future stars at WR in the SEC, and we are a tough bunch on the DL.
We seem to have suddenly learned how to call an offensive game and the kids are able to follow that plan and score. We have probably one of the top two defensive coaches in the SEC, if not the NCAA and we are only in our second year of the 3-4 setup.
Best of all this year, is we are hearing with just a few exceptions, a lot of other teams saying they will need a good recruiting year and then they will be back on top and powerful again. UGA is in the position where they can now say, that they already have the men, they just need to get more experience and they are improving every game. When was the last time UGA could actually say that? The future is very bright for these young kids UGA has and next year, while these other teams are looking to improve each game, they will be forced to play a battle tested, extremely skilled and still hungry UGA team.

Crowell DEFINITELY is not an every down back! Tons of talent, but not enough heart. Waitin’ for the NFL, but he is gonna be suprised….they pass REAL licks in the NFL! Meanwhile, if we get fortunate enough to go to the SEC Championship game, lets see how long it takes LSU to send him cryin’ to the sidelines. Proud of UGA,; wishin’ the best for Crowell.

“If I’m gassed or I’m hurt I want to come out because I want to be able to give 100 percent for my team,” Crowell explained. “If I’m not able to do my best I’d rather somebody else come in and do their best. When I get ready and think I can do my best then I’ll go back.”

Those are the words of a true teammate.

Crowell has proven he is an exceptional running back when healthy. Although most of his yards came in the second half of the game Saturday when Auburn had pretty much given up, it was still an impressive total for he and Thomas. We need both of them at or near full strength for the SEC Championship game. If I’m not mistaken, the win over Auburn was our first this year against any team with a winning record. We need the running game to have any chance at all to become this year’s SEC champions. It is encouraging to have both the running game and the passing game doing so well at the same time. With our defense playing at the level it is, we just might have a chance!

Crowell is plenty tough. It’s been pretty obvious to anyone who’s paid attention during games that he’s taken a beating all year long. Getting dinged up doesn’t make you not tough. Not playing hurt is what makes you not tough and IC has fought through his injuries all season.

If you go back and watch the highlights of the 2nd half of the Auburn game you can really see Crowell’s skill. He’s a pretty unorthodox runner but his acceleration and stops/cuts are elite even at the college level. I try not to come down on the guy too hard because he’s an 18/19 year old kid and I remember how tough my freshman year was without football.

Keep in mind Knowshon had a redshirt year to practice and come in under the radar. Give Crowell some time–he’ll be fine. And get Keith Marshall splitting carries with him! Georgia will have a mean offense with some of these up and coming linemen and receivers growing up.

We have a new joke in our section at UGA games. When someone leaves to go get a coke or hotdog, he pats himself on the head and says “I’m out!” like Crowell does. I went to my first UGA game in 1976 and have never seen a player as talented as Crowell take himself out so much.

I’m sure Crowell was rarely touched in high school much less hit like he is getting hit now. The ability is there and with maturity and age he should get better. He must become more responsible off the field as well. 10X better than Ealey, 5X better than King.

I very much remember folks calling Knowshon’s heart into question for coming out of games. Which I didnt agree with, either. Crowell average 19 carried per game, (as a true freshman) which is same as Knowshon ever did. 2 less than Richardson, as a reference. That as much as Lattimore carried it last year.(when he was considered a workhorse) So it’s a bit of a reach to say he is not holding up his end of the load. The fact that he has carried it so much with the dings is all the more remarkable if you ask me.
No idea why his desire or willingness is coming into question.

Crowell is as immature as he is talented. That’s not a knock on the kid, it’s just how it is.

Crowell will come into next season more mature and ready to be one of the SEC’s premiere backs.

Marshall is taking notice of Crowells accomplishmets, and the more support he sees from the fans the better.

Some Ga fan’s should give the kid a break and just be happy that he’s a dawg.

6. Isaiah Crowell, Georgia, RB: I was tempted to pick Malcolm Mitchell as the top Dawg freshman, but for as dynamic as he’s been he’s missed a bunch of games with a hamstring injury, while Crowell continues to pile up yards and give QB Aaron Murray a lot of support. Best thing about Crowell’s impact: he’s played in seven SEC games and gone over 100 yards in four of them.

The SEC is a running Conference that’s why the best running back’s end up in the SEC. How can anyone complain about a FRESHMAN who should get over 1000 yards . Going from high school to college is bad enough but if you chose the SEC you know it is the toughest conference in college football on running back’s . Everybody needs to lighten up on the negative mess about Crowell. Let CMR handle it. Every running back can’t hang with the demands of the SEC , as Ealey found out.
So far I think Crowell has handled himself okay to be a Freshman and seem’s to want to improve and I think he realizes that he has a lot more to do before he will be considered a successful running back in the SEC.

He simply hasn’t been hit in his career like he has this season. if, IF, he keeps his head on straight, he could get some Heisman talk in a year or two. But, the off-season sure is a long time to get himself into some trouble.

In other news, I heard that Drew Butler has made some comments to people close to him that he’s had a hard time adjusting to the three blockers right in front of him when he’s kicking. That as he’s kicking the football, he basically still see’s 3 bodies right on him and it’s messing with him…This makes some sense, but, could sound like an excuse too..

Keep in mind that only a year ago he was playing high school ball, taking high school hits from high school defenders. And because his team was usually dominating, he never had to play a full 4 quarter game.

The complaints about our running backs “taking themselves out of games” are beyond absurd. Almost every college football team rotates running backs. If they don’t they have a serious problem. People who complain about this know absolutely nothing about football and should go root for Tech where they will fit in better. Shut up about it.

Crowell is doing an excellent job. The suspensions are unfortunate but hardly warrant the character assasinations that have come his way. 1,000 yards as a true freshmen in the SEC is a remarkable accomplishment and doesn’t happen based upon talent alone. Crowell needs to stay off the internet blogs, ignore the morons, and keep doing what he’s doing. He will be fine.

Thanks.

Well we all know the SEC is a slober knocker of a conference, and you definitely know when you’ve played an SEC team. With the speed, athleticism, size, and number of superb athletes on each team, you are going to get dinged up, and everyone knows this within the conference. Crowell will toughen up and realize this isn’t high school ball, as I’m sure he has already. He’ll eventually get to that level of a Lattimore or Dyer when he realizes the NFL won’t take a sissy or someone that tears like paper. I’m gonna allow him this year, and see what he has to offer next year before I call him soft, but for now I’m gonna use growing pains as his issue. Some learn the hard way.

“If I’m gassed or I’m hurt I want to come out because I want to be able to give 100 percent for my team,”

I don’t see that as a team statement. More like “I wanna tote the rock when I want to tote it”. I don’t know why the coaches permit the mindset. When Crowell comes out of a game, seems to me he’s showing a hand to the opposing defense. Certainly the run threat isn’t as great.

Crowell will continue to improve. I have no problem with him taking himself out of a game to get rested so he can bust off some more big runs. We have depth at the position and it’s nice to have a change of pace. However, I am thoroughly unimpressed with Richard Samuel’s talent. I love his heart but he runs like Herman Munster, standing straight up and susceptible to ankle tackles. If he had a lower center of gravity and more cut ability he’d be a player. Unfortunately, he just tries to bust through the line and usually stumbles for a couple of yards. I don’t think he can change his style. I’d like to see Boo Malcombe in the game and yes, Keith Marshall, please come play for the Dawgs. We’ve seen your video and we want you badly.

ARDawg- I think his sentiments about wanting to let another back get carries when he’s gassed actually shows a lot of maturity. As he gets bigger and stronger and becomes more of the center piece of the offense he won’t have to come out as much. There’s nothing wrong with wanting your hard working teammates to get opportunities as well. It’s a learning curve and I think he’s doing well.

I think this kid can really be a good back but we must remember he came from a AA high school and his competition was nowhere close to what he is facing now. He probably never took the kind of hits he is taking in the SEC because on talent alone he could shake and out run his competition. I would like to see the comparisons to how many times Lattimore was taking himself out of games over at the other USC

I have no problem with him taking himself out of a game to get rested so he can bust off some more big runs.

More big runs? He only has 6 rushes over 20 yards and none over 30. If he needs to take himself out to save strength to run 20 yards then you should probably find a new RB.

In this day in age if you only have 1 RB to hand to you’re not going to get maximum production for a 60 minute time frame…. I hope MR.

@altamaha: good perspective. if you’d told the folks on this board at the beginning of the year that crowell would be 3rd in the conference in YPG and is on track to rush for 1000 yards, everyone would have been thrilled with that. we’re definitely not 8-2 without him. i say leave the kid alone and let him help the team the best way he can.

and keith marshall is all dawg. the deal with him has always been whether CMR would be back. clemson is a distant second. we’re also co #1’s very promising back from NC named todd gurley. he’s a hurdling champion with good size and INCREDIBLE speed. and like marshall, he’s a high character kid and extremely hard worker. i’m sure many of you will find reasons to hate both of them if we’re lucky enough to ink them, though.

Crowell is the best back UGA has had in years. Bar none! He is a true freshman and is doing very well. Saban wanted this kid badly as did everyone else in the league. Now, you must respect UGA’s run offense and that is why AM is having such a good season. The run game opens everything up where last year no one respected us running the ball. Crowell is the main reason for that. I personally think Crowell will have his biggest game Saturday with about 200 yard rushing.

CR Dawg, I have sounded like a broken record sometimes, but folks don’t need to yearn for a big and powerful SEC back…we have one. His name is Malcome. They finally put him in on the last series against Auburn. The first play it took 7 War Eagles to stop his momentum. I know they were tired and he was fresh, but you can’t keep moving a pile with six or seven people without some serious power. Boo needs to make sure he has a good attitude, and the coaches need to breathe a little bit of encouragement into him and put him in the game with the 1s against the Cats. We will likely need his power against LSU. IC is a great back and a delight to watch, but raw power is one of his very few weak points…weak points is too strong, let’s say power isn’t his strength. Thomas and Harton are great backups for IC, but we really need somebody who can pound the rock with biggest and toughest. I think Malcome is our best back for that, far and away.

IC is a talented RB just out of HS. The kid needs to buff up and add 10-15 lbs of muscle and that will lessen these minor injuries in a very physical league. It takes a few seasons in the weight room and off season conditioning to get into the shape needed for the pounding a RB takes especially in the SEC. Very few RB’s come out of HS like a Herschel Walker who was a man among boys at 221 lbs of muscle. He dealt out as much punishment as he took. Even AL’s RB’s who were/are among the best in the country got better in their 2nd and 3rd years. You could see the difference in their physical appearence they were bigger and stronger by adding lbs of muscle.

If IC can stay healthy and avoid any serious injury (aka, Lattimore) he’ll play more downs as he puts more time in the weight room and adds some bulk. Right now you cannot ask more of the kid then what he’s given his team. He can only get better provided he stays out of trouble and spends time in the weight room. I also liked what I saw from Boo malcome at the end of the AU game. He moved the pile and made the final 1st down to run out the clock. Would like to see more of him in the future.

I think if you check that he has been pulling himself out of games from game one. It’s obvious that he doesn’t get hurt as often as he pulls himself out, He, also, pulls himself in the first quarter when conditioning is not an issue, So what’s left? Character & toughness issues. He is costing himself a chance to make millions in the pros where it’s even tougher.

Honestly, I just don’t see him staying for four years. I would be surprised if he even makes it to three. I believe he has a ton of talent, but he still has to prove that his heart belongs to UGA.

___________________________________________________________________

I don’t think that’s a fair comment. The kid grew up wanting to be a Dawg his whole life. He ALWAYS talks about doing his best when he’s in their to help his team. I think he made a stupid mistake like most 18 year old kids do these days. Hopefully he has learned an important lesson. He is still young and new to college football but still is on the verge of rushing for a thousand yards. He has run hard when he gets the ball and like Gary Danielson said, “when the light comes on for him on how to be a RB in the SEC he’s going to be special and the light is close to coming on”.

Running backs get hammered in the SEC so I don’t expect him to be out there every play. That’s why you recruit other running backs. That’s why UGA is going after Keith Marshall. You have to have more than good running back on a team because it is the position that takes the most pounding.

The fact is, the human body was not made to take the kind of beating that Crowell, and these other RB’s are taking, we can sit around here, and question his heart, but even Lattimore couldn’t take the beating all year long, if y’all remember he missed time last year, and this year had a season ending injury, I guess some of you would rather see Crowell stay in, and risk a season ending injury, instead of taking a few plays off.

4.9 is not a great average. I will give Walker the benefit of the doubt though. He rushed 385 times that season. If you are running that much then yes you are bound to get tired on some plays. Crowell will finish with a little over half that many carries which makes his average look terrible.

UsCrowell’s problem is he is a kid acting like a kid. He is learing how to live quasi on his own, being responsible for himself for the first time, and having to balance school, football, and free time. The thing he hasn’t do too great at it, hence the trouble. But tink about how many freshmen actually do, even the ones that don’t play football. He is a freshman and it shows. Not only is he a freshman trying to learn life, football, and eveything else. He is a rockstar around Athens and has a lot of expectations to live up to. I think he would be one of Georgia’s greatest running backs if he played with half yhe heart as Harton. He has the talent. But that is the difference in a redshirt sophomore with everything to prove and a freshman with little to prove, just do what is expected. We will learn a lot about crowell next year, when we can see how much he matures. It will also give us time to see if he corrects the discipline problems.
I’m like many other I think we need another runningback. Marshall may be the guy, I don’t know. All I know is right now with Samuel out, we don’t have anyone that is proven up the middle. Crowell has the size to do it, but not really his style. Thomas and harton are too small ( they may can run between the dlines legs), malcomes yet to prove himself. If we gat another back or two it increases competition and makes everyone better. You never know when you bring someone in and hqve to redshirt them because someone else stepped up, or they come in and blow everone out of the water. More bqcks would also bring us back to where we used to be when we were a breeding ground for backs.

Coach Richt you need to fix this problem, you created it so fix or bye! Because you will never have a top rated team as long as you and I say YOU let this childish behavior comtinue.

In case Isaiah Crowel doesn’t realize it, he is a running back. Running backs live with dings and little things all year, that is just par for the course. What separates the running backs is what is above the shoulder pads. It has been readilly apparent that he does not have the heart nor the desire to overcome the little things and play. Most of the season he has been awol in the fourth quarter, a time when his team needs him the most. Until Crowel conqueres these issues and plays in the fourth quarter, he will never be considered a top running back.

Even though I am a Georgia fan, you are in no shape to question Marcus Lattimore’s toughness. The guy shouldered the load of a crappy quarterback last year and took his team to an SEC Championship as a TRUE FRESHMAN. He has completely KILLED our defense the only two years he’s been on campus, and averages almost 30 carries a game. No one has been able to stop him. It’s sad that he tore his ACL, because he is as tough as they come, and as gifted. I wish he was at Georgia. I hate South Carolina, but I think it is pathetic that anyone question his toughness or poke fun of him for getting hurt when he has carried that program for the year and a half he’s been there.

Many NFL teams would be glad to have a healthy Knowshon. If his careeer is over because of his torn ACL, that has absolutely nothing to do with his talent or heart, you moron. I’m sure I could fing many other quotes from NFL experts, even today who would say good things about him. Finding one negative quote proves nothing. Hell, I could probably find one person who says Occupy Wall St is an intelligent movement, wait, Nancy Pelosi endorsed them, so it must be good.

GTBob and everyone else. Crowell is ranked 44th in the nation in total production as a TRUE freshman. The closest Tech rusher is the QB and is ranked 66th and that’s all you guys do in your system. IC is currently 3 yards ahead of Lattimore in total production with only 7 more carries. Lattimore is a stud and so is IC. For any RB to go against the huge D-lines of the SEC and average close to 100 per game is a feat in itself.

Hey Be a Man about it…. You are right – only played in HS – not college, and you?

So, Tech has had a 1000+ yard rusher for 5 straight years and guess what, that pre-dates the current scheme. 2 years before the option, GT also had 1000+ yard rusher actually ~1400 yards with more than 5 YPC.

And Brewmaster, when you do look at the top 20 RB as far as yards per game – 18 out of 20 of them are averaging more than Crowell, so 4.8 is not a great average – for college…. For the pros, yes, but for college – meh….

Brewmaster, the quote I gave has from the previous Broncos coach well before the season started and Moreno tore his ACL. Here is another dandy of a quote for you:

“What I do know — from someone who worked closely with Josh and is someone I trust to tell me the truth — is that after the draft, McDaniels and the staff believed privately they made a big mistake on Moreno. He was not what they thought. He hasn’t been tough, smart, motivated, if that’s what you’re asking. He has been a bust. I’ve said it before. He’s not a great clubhouse guy. Interpret that how you want, and he’s been a wimp on the field.”

Again though, how many of these players ahead of Crowell are true freshman? Also, your little boy “Just Sayin” doesn’t seem to realize that the 1,000 yard mark isn’t all that. The reason they are making a big deal about Isaiah getting there is because he didn’t even start his first two games and missed another game and a half altogether.

3rd and short: 7 carries
4th down: 2 carries

I’m not sure about on the goal line. All I can find is stats in the red zone. Either way these 9 carries aren’t going to affect his average much. In fact, the 4th down carries are bringing his average up. It’s not like other RB’s don’t have the same issue anyways.

10 out of the last 12 years have been decided by 1 score or less in the series – why can’t UGA win bigger over such an inferior opponent.

This is purely speculation on my part but… I would assume that he racked up his yards easily and his high school team was ahead by a comfortable margin therefore he didn’t really ever have to play 4 quarters of physical football in high school. Also, UGA needs to use him on a “as needed” basis. If he is unable to play our run game goes down the toilet. It wouldn’t bother me to see him filling water cups on the sideline against Kentucky. OUr offense should be fine without him for that game.

Give the kid a break, he’s a freshman. Lattimore has been hurt twice now over the last two years and missed multiple games and nobody is questioning that kids toughness.

Florida always beats Georgia. Now that NONE of that has happened, all we here is, well look at your really soft schedule, and the stars aligned, and my personal favorite .. look at the powerhouses from the SEC UGA has played. Well here is a tip for ya .. you ever notice what happens come bowl season nearly EVERY year? Yup, even the “cupcake” teams from the SEC win their bowl games more often than not. Face it, whatever team you are a fan of can’t hang and if it’s GT, you should never be allowed to talk on a blog about UGA’s schedule until you can consistently win out of conference games, including bowl games. And no Kansas doesn’t count, especially since they sucked last year and still layed you out.

I’d like to know were you got the 30 att a game from? I wouldn’t trade Crowell for Lattimore. I don’t see were he has been any tougher than Crowell, in fact he’s missed more games, if your playing hurt, your a liability to the team, playing hurt is stupid, not tough, Lattimore may never be the same, because he push himself pass what his body could take, and now he’s injured, Coach Spurrier does not care about the players, like Coach Richt, he just cares about winning at all cost.

This is a young kid. With his size and talent level, he rarely had a hit of any kind laid on him in high school. Now, he’s having SEC-caliber licks laid on him week-in and week-out. He’s having to adjust to the sharp spike in competition level. He was just playing high school ball last year, folks!

I just don’t agree with hanging a “soft” tag on this kid at this point. Immature? Yes (two suspensions already). Under-conditioned? Maybe, but I have a feeling this kid is going to come back next year, one year of experience under his belt, and make a statement in the SEC. He’s looked great in spurts this year. With a little maturity and experience, he may end up being a dominating back. I think this is the path IC will choose and he’ll be a wonder to watch starting next season.

The real quick wide toss out pitch to a speedy back who is all almost full speed when he catch’s it….and their bread and butter QB pitch to a back way outside right when the QB is about to get hit with a WR coming across and knocking the DB outside as to create that crease…..Shut those two plays down, they won’t get 200 yards of offense.

Saw this mentioned in another blog…

UGA has to make a choice….

Take extra time to prepare for GT or prepare for an SEC Championship Game

If we beat GT (which I think we will), our chances our not good for the SEC CG. The last 11 teams that have beaten GT over the past 3 years have lost their very next game (without exception). That is quite a statistic and there was another mention that over half the losses that GT had came from teams with more than 1 week to prepare.

Why is that and how can we win both?

Most of the Starters should get a big break this Saturday and only play a half, plus it rewards the other guys and gives them game experience. We have a New Mexico State situation coming, but the good news, we don’t have to pay them 900K for the whupping.

Mobile Dawg, I just think sometimes that he is getting a bad rap. I’ve never read anything about him being a selfish player, or having a big ego. I have read that he is mostly a quiet humble kid. Who knows about this marijuana thing. I think it was interesting that all 3 were RB’s. And the older one was Carlton Thomas whose already been in trouble in the past. How do you know he wasn’t following his lead? I read somewhere that the 1st Quarter of the Vandy game was because he missed a class. Apparently as a UGA football player you are not allowed to miss any classes. I know when I was in college I skipped one or two. I just think everyone needs to ease up on the kid.

Teams going 0-11 after beating GT is more of a streak than the 9-1 we have against them. If we are going to take the good statistics, we have to look at history and see how we can change the future.

Obviously, I would like to win both games, but given a choice, I would rather win the SEC – that is much more prestigious than winning against GT (especially lately).

My point being – let’s not get caught up in preparing for an anomaly that we lose are rythim and get totally embarrased nationally the next week in the SEC CG.

Yea its funny Dawg48 how you sharted yourself in the 2nd half of last years game and it came down to Tech beating Tech by missing the extra point – UGA had nothing to do with that. You were so confident last year about holding tech to under 200 yards for the game and 400+ rushing yards allowed later by Grantham’s defense.

How can Tech ever believe they could even beat UGA.

ACC has much more parity – UGA would not win 8 in a row if they had to against Miami, UVA, UNC, Clemson, and VT.

Let’s face it the SEC is more unbalance this year than ever with AL, LSU, and Ark being head and shoulders above the rest. I am not sure UGA is there because they have played none of those 3 SEC teams and don’t have a signature win given the rest of the SEC is awful this year.

Why Malcome? Just look at the tape from G day, or the tape from the last couple of minutes in the AU game to see the answer. He pushes a whole bunch of War Eagles in his three runs. The kid is clearly very powerful. The coaches do see a lot more; I will grant you. Maybe he doesn’t block, or maybe he has a bad attitude. I am inclined to think he is just a bit discouraged. He had an aggravated groin, which could explain why they think he belongs 4th on the depth chart. And then sitting on the pine, when you feel like you can compete, is very frustrating. He’ll get his chance, and I suspect they will run him this week. We’ll see. We could use a really tough and powerful back. Finally, much as I love UGA, we do have a problem with leaving TB talent unused. Some of our TBs have been buried on the depth chart, and they go on to have NFL careers! One even wound up All Pro.

I agree and think GT would have walked through UGA’s schedule with the exception of Boise State. GT would have beaten USC as USC was lucky to escape with a win against Navy who runs our offense.

The BEST offense that UGA has beaten was ranked #68 in the nation and UGA’s average defeated foe offense ranks #90 out of #120 schools.

I am just saying that UGA seems to think GT will always be a cake walk and the 9-1 does not tell the story of 10 of the last 12 being decided by 1 score or less.

DawgMa

November 17th, 2011
1:57 pm

I can’t imagine GT beating us. If Jarvis Jones and Washington are given QB responsibility, the QB will have to pitch everytime. And then if we cheat up the safeties to take the pitch man, either Rambo or Williams will do the job. We can also switch up the coverages and bring in Boykin or Cummings for the pitch responsibility. There is no way the middle will ever be open for a dive. Of course the thing to stop us doing this would be a passing attack. But where is GT going to get a passing attack? We put 8 in the box and let GT try to live by the pass…….no way we lose.

I agree Joe. I wasn’t passing judgment on the ACC (although I do) with that comment. Just factual. ACC teams generally tend to not win very many in a row. That’s mosty conference so all’s fair. The SEC does about the same thing with about 8 teams, and then there are 2-4 team that are in another class, and that varies from year to year.

KerryB; I disagree on Moreno. He didn’t do it as often. And I think in Crowell’s case, it’s why I NOTICE him taking himself out of games more…because he talks SO much and the fumbles and the hits that make him take him out of a game usually come right after. He could learn a lot from how Latimore does it (and no…I’m not a SC fan). The bigger issue is that he WILL get called for it at some point because team leaders and coaches don’t seem to ‘take him on’ about toning it down some, and he is going to get a penalty in a HUGE situation. It is coming…

Same thing was said last year about stacking the box and GT came away with 411 rushing yards against UGA. Yes, GT lost on the scoreboard due to a missed XP, but Boise State and GT are both Top 20 offenses and the next 2 highest offenses UGA faced were #53 and #68.

DawgMa

November 17th, 2011
2:06 pm

No No No GT Joe, Washington and Jones are opposite LBs. They have QB responsibility when the play is to their side. Otherwise, they have backside responsibility or drop back pass protection. Same with the safeties. This is CTG second year to figure out that silly offense and he will do it. Dawgs have to much talent for GT offense.

GT Joe

AltamahaDawg

November 17th, 2011

I think people beleive UGA to be good against the run because they are, at the very least, a more than casual observer of the game, and they know what it takes to defend the run. The fact that a team does something well against a lesser opponents is NOT proof they can’t do it against better teams. YOu have to look at why they did so, and make a judgement as to it that would translate further.

DawgMa: yes, dawgs have much more talent. But CTG can’t “figure out” this offense, because it can’t be “figured out”. There is an answer to EVERY defensive scheme.

UGA is good against the rush as they have not even faced a top 30 rushing attack. Boise St and USC were 2 of the best UGA faced at #32 and #43 and those both went in the Loss column.

Wait, so LSU, Bama, and Arkansas are in a class by themselves (nobody disputes that) but the ACC has parity?????? Outside of VT and MAYBE Clemson who are the ACC powerhouses???

UGA couldn’t survive a stretch in the ACC including UNC, Va, MIami and FSU????? HAHAHAHAHA!!!! SInce Va Tech came into the ACC it’s been Va Tech and everyone else. 1 fluke year (Tech winning the ACC or the SEC East being down) doesn’t mean jack.

I’m not saying that UGA doesn’t have a good defense. I’m saying their competition is horrific. Easiest schedule in college football when looking at opponent offensive ranks.

So that #5 defensive ranking is bogus.

boy: “Outside of VT and MAYBE Clemson who are the ACC powerhouses?”

THAT’s MY POINT. ACC teams are not far apart in quality, games are typically competitive. SEC, on the other hand, is 3 good teams and 9 dwarfs. Any of the 3 good teams can go undefeated.

And thanks for the history lesson; doesn’t have anything to do with this year though.

That’s pretty Armchair, if you ask me, not so much “if you know what to look for”. You would need to do a ton more research about opponents defensive stats, SOS, etc. with other division to begin to draw definitive conclusion. But if it’s yards. I guess so, Great.

None of which is compelling eveidence that georgia does not have a a very good defence.

and GT rushes for so many yards because they are one dimensional. if you run the ball twice as many times as a traditional offense then you end up with alot more rushing yards. how does GT stack up in passing yards and total offense?

Crowell is frustrating for sure. The kid shows flashs of brilliance running the ball and then does something moronic. It drives me crazy when he is out of the game for a quarter and then comes back and tears of a 15 yard run without breaking a sweat. Why the heck was he not in there the whole game?

I will agree with the rest of Dawg nation in hopeing we get another solid durable back for next year. It doesn’t even have to be Keith Marshall though he would be great. Just someone who can give Crowell some competition so the kid won’t think he is so entitled.

The SEC is no longer “vaunted”? Because of one year? Well after 5 straight BCS titles I think the SEC may have earned the right to have a slightly “down” year if you consider 2 teams in the top 5 of the BCS a down year. Also Arkansas in the Top 10 and UGA slightly outside of the top 10. If that is a down year what would you call the ACC since its incorporation of the “vaunted” U and Va Tech? I guess that would be a colossal failure when such great hopes where pinned on those programs.

I’m sorry, but you’re an idiot. You are a complete fool if you wouldn’t take Lattimore over Crowell. The 30 carry average was a talking point, and it is proven he is like Trent Richardson in that he only gets better as the game progresses and his touches increase. I am a Georgia fan and obviously respect a player more when he chooses my school over another, but the production of Lattimore has been more consistent and valuable to his team. Just think if we had Lattimore last year, I guarantee we don’t kick a field goal against Central Florida on a 4th and 1, we stick his 230 pound butt up the middle and test their toughness. I like Crowell, hope he matures, and reaches his potential, but saying you’d take him over a Lattimore just shows that your football intelligence ceases to exist,

Let’s take a look at the ACC vs SEC debate. The ACC fans are pounding their chests because of an ESPN blog projecting that the ACC would go 3-2 vs the SEC. According to the same source’s power rankings, here are the matchups:

Clemson (1) vs. Auburn (6)
Clemson (1) vs. South Carolina (5)
Florida State (3) vs. Florida (7)
Wake Forest (6) vs. Vanderbilt (8)
Ga Tech (5) vs. Georgia (4)

Of course, one is already in the books. And with the SEC likely to get two teams in the BCS as usual, and the ACC only one, the Chick-fil-A will pit ACC (2) vs SEC (6) and the Music City will pit ACC (6) vs. SEC (8). So if the SEC does win 2 out of the next 4 and 3 of the next 6, I would say that is pretty good. There still won’t be a question of which is the dominant conference.

There is a reason why the Chick-fil-a Bowl has the match up the way they do, and it’s because a middle-of-the-road SEC team is about as good as a top tier ACC team. Since the Peach Bowl has gone to the ACC-SEC matchup the ACC leads 10-9. Pretty even, but it had to be stacked the way it is to such parity.

Nice article. For all the skeptics he’s had coming in and all the critics he’s had since (and some of it was self-inflicted), the kid has already proven to be as good as advertised on the field. For those of us who understand he game, we KNOW that it’s a big diference between ANY high school division in the nation and the SEC. IC could run for 150 yards on 8 carries at Carver High School (CTown) and sit the entire fourth quarter. It’s a “transition”….we’re talking about on the field here. Off the field….also a transition. All the meeting, sessions, the media, etc….a transition. The Drug Suspension…that was 100% Isaiah’s fault. It upset me just like the rest of you, but I can’t hang that over his head. Selfish…yes. Unforgiveable…not at all. As long as he learned his lesson and his team forgives him…hey…I’m okay and he’s okay with me. Back to the FIELD. It’s a bigger stage, more pressure to live up to, and it’s the SEC. ON THE FIELD…the kid has passed with flying colors. There will NEVER be another Herchel Walker….NEVER. Those comparisons should not even be spoken. But Isaiah Crowell will be a star in this league. He’s not a bad kid…he’s not a problem. We’re just in a media age and his every move can be moniored and reported. I WILL admit that he’s always been a Rock Star…and I can’t say that’s his fault. That’s where CMR and his staff come into play. Bring him down to earth and make him more TEAM focused. I think it’s happening and I look forward to two more years of great things from the kid and hopefully three years of Keith Marshall. GO DAWGS! Beat Kentucky, Tech, ARKANSAS, and win a BCS Bowl!!!

That Crowell fella can runs pretty good! I don’t think I would wan’t to tackle him. I sure hope Herschel told him about the sit-ups and push-ups. A couple of thousand each day and he will be inflicting bumps and bruises. I will say that red sure does look good on him!

Amazing video of a high school senior from Columbia TN who kicks the ball dead straight 75-80 yards in the air. He was successful on 54 of 54 attempts this season….100%. Now he needs a college team. For some crazy reason, he wants to go to Georgia…not sure why?

The jury is still out on Crowell,but the biggest reason our Dawgs are playing for the east is the DEFENSE LINE. Coach Gratham deserves a lot of credit. The o-line is the second reason.I sure didn’t think I would be saying that with how thin we were but, GO YOU HAIRY DAWGS!!!!!

Despite his off field problems, perhaps immaturity and inability to Wide Open Throttle for 4 qtrs, this kid could be one of the greatest.

If this lad could be taught some self control off field, self responsibility and field toughness then I believe he could easily surpass Moreno………………..Herschell?…………maybe!………It’s all up to I. C.

dogdawg,

I couldn’t have said it better.
I never thought The Dawgs would win the East (probably) and have a real shot at The SECC.
Yep, the schedule has certainly helped them this season but that is decided years in advance.
The O Line should have been able to stop Boise State (they just lost to TCU for God’s sake!) and Garcia tried to give us the SC Game but we were too inept to take it.

If our Dawgs can win or show a respectable loss to LSU then I’m a believer again.
If we are rolled over then Richt and his band should be dismissed like an afterschool misbehavior class at 6:00!

GT Joe,
I see where you conveniently left four of Tech’s first six opponents out of your Total D list: Kansas, at 120 out of120 rated, Maryland at 108, and Western Carolina and Middle TN. You don’t think that might have skewed the stats do you? Plus four of the top 10 Ds are in the SEC, with two in the East and two in the West. Florida is just out of the top ten. When you play top 10 Ds on a regular basis, it hurts your offensive stats, but the competition makes you better. So maybe Bama, LSU, SC, and UGA really have strong numbers because SEC offenses are weak? That could be what the stats tell us, and your theory could be correct…I doubt it, though.

Yo, kerryb, I happened to catch a replay of the Florida game in a hotel room in Baltimore and I had forgotten how tough Crowell ran when we needed some first downs. Check the tape and see what you think, mon ami. And as they say down here in Baton Rouge, “Geaux Dawgs!”

Crowell is gonna put up some good numbers for 3 years at Ga….probably the most since Walker. Ga will use him to win games and Maybe a couple championships and he will use Ga to get to the NFL. My hope is that somewhere down the line he really becomes a Bulldog. Since his signing it’s all been about him. HW was a Bulldog from the beginning. But I would rather have him ( IC) than not.

CMR learned a lesson when he didn’t play Moreno his Freshman year. That’s why he play’s so many Freshmen now. Grantham believes in the best players should be on the field and I think CMR also, believes that now.
After Spurrier ran Lattimore 37 times against Georgia last year I said it only a matter of time before Lattimore go’s out with an ACL. By the way sorry to hear that Moreno tore his ACL last week. He’s a DGD and I only wish him the best with a full recovery.
The point is I don’t think that CMR will let Crowell carry more than 25 times per game and hope’s to keep that around 20 times per game. If your running back get’s too tire from over use I think it improves their chances of having a major injury. I think CMR feel’s that way too. So Crowell running a few play’s and then wanting to come out , as he said so he will be at full speed when he is in there , is a good thing.
Who we need to convince is Marshall , that two tailback’s are needed at each SEC school and don’t think that Crowell will get more running time than he will. Georgia need’s two great running back’s for the next 3 or 4 year’s.

I don’t think it’s his heart and his skill that are missing.I think he needs to do a little self-evaluating and decide if smoking (cigarettes) is worth missing plays. Or if partying with the guys is worth the risk of another suspension. Gotta listen to achedemic advisors and start showing up on time for work-outs. He was a prima donna in high school but son, this ain’t high school! Grow up Isiah and become a Bulldawg! Make this Bulldawgnation proud!

Spaceman, I watched a lot of video. They are calling him “the next Tim Tebow” which has to be more unfair to a kid than about anything next to “the next Herschel Walker”. The thing is, after watching as much as I did, I think the kid, if he has the work ethic his coach says he has, he could play wherever he wants. He has great ball skills but isn’t overly fast (every Murray basher picked on his 4.7 speed, but this kid is coming in slower than that). It’s hard to tell but it may be a case where he is used on offense in an h-back situation or wildcat formation. I don’t think he fits what Grantham is trying to do on D honestly. He needs his LBs to be a little faster.

1,000 yards rushing for any back is quite an accomplishment…even more so for a true freshman. I have been, and still are, a bit critical of Crowell for the things mentioned in this article – lack of – conditioning, toughness, fumbling and off the field stupidity. However, I do think he has a real talent for running the football, things you can’t coach. I hope he has his best game and most carries (like 25 each game) against Kentucky and GA. Tech – and reaches the 1,000 yard mark. Then, lets hope he will stay out of trouble from now on.

Who you telling? Like a Dyer/McCalebb combo. Those two together would rush for 200 a game .. EVERY GAME! Run off tackle with Theus and all will be well.

By that time, Murray would be a senior I believe. I for one think the next few years show possibility…of course there are those who will jump on that statement faster than a nerd on a Dawg’s statement…

One thing for sure, they need to keep CTG – pay him whatever, but they need to keep him. I have no problem w/ Bobo calling things (for all the critics, look at our offensive production)…

Hang in there IC and continue to grow. We’re all proud of the way the Dawgs persevered this year.

God I can’t wait to play the Nerds. I may have to go to that game and rub it in their Nerd faces. If any of them show up and stay past 5 minutes into the third quarter.

Dragon Con isn’t that weekend is it?

Spiff, if you are still out there, I have a question for you. LSU has 2 marquee wins this season, Oregon and Alabama. What game would you say is the marquee win for the pups this season??? Whom have they beaten that is any good?? Tennessee? How about Coastal Carolina or Ole Miss? Auburn? At least they were ranked. Would it be the crippled Florida team that they squeaked by? You know, the same team that LSU beat by 30 points. Who have they beaten this season that would qualify as a marquee win??

Paul Finebaum said earlier in the week that UGA has taken advantage of their easy schedule. He also said that everyone knows that had they gone to Arkansas, they would have lost; had they gone to Baton Rouge they would have lost and had they gone to Tuscaloosa, they would have lost. Mark Schlabach said something similar on TV, and he is a UGA grad. He said that while they have improved during the season, alot of the improvement could be attributed to the easy schedule after the South Carolina game. Bottom line, they have not played and BEATEN anyone of any merit all season, just a bunch of bad teams or teams having a bad season. Just think, if you beat Ga. Tech, you will have finally beaten a team that has at least 8 wins this season. Aaron Murray has not seen a pass rush and pressure like LSU will bring. And Crowell will not finish the game without getting hurt…AGAIN.

Sure is nice not to read anything from the Ritch haters. Patience is rare in Athens-ville now they are on Crowell. Chill out.

Great job Dawgs: Crowell is a joke, he has missed more time in 11 games that most backs miss in 4 years. We need Hartons heart in Crowells body.Any player that sits while his team is playing for the SEC east is a WUSS.Your either tough or you ain’t and he ain’t.
