QB Hutson Mason considers transfer due to lack of playing time
ATHENS – Georgia backup quarterback Hutson Mason said he is seriously considering transferring due to a lack of playing time behind starter Aaron Murray.
Mason, a sophomore from Marietta, said he would prefer to remain at Georgia — “I love this place even more than I expected,” he said – and would consider taking a redshirt year next season to put a year between him and Murray.
In any case, Mason said he will have to make a decision after the Bulldogs’ season is completed with the Jan. 2 Outback Bowl against Michigan State.
“I’ll just try to sit back and get away from the every day stuff and people telling me what I should do,” Mason said. “I’ll go home after the bowl game and talk to my family and talk to people I look up to. I talked to D.J. Shockley. He’s somebody who has been very valuable to me. I’m just trying to look at it from every angle. I ponder on it a lot and it’s extremely tough.”
Mason (6-foot-3, 200 pounds) signed with Georgia in 2010 after becoming the state high school record holder for passing yards (4,560) and touchdowns (54) as a senior at Lassiter High. But after his second full season with the Bulldogs, he has gotten minimal playing time and then only in mop-up duty.
In two seasons, Mason has appeared in eight games, completing 57 percent of his passes for 356 yards with 3 TDs and no interceptions. His first college play from scrimmage was a TD pass to Logan Gray.
“He’s got an uncanny ability to hit the open receiver,” quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said. “He has great vision and feel. He has great pocket presence and a very quick release. He throws all the intermediate balls extremely well. The deep ball is something we continue to work on that he’s got to improve on. But his ability to get rid of the ball quickly and spread it out underneath, he does very well.”
Bobo said that the Bulldogs are considering redshirting Mason next season and have current redshirt freshman Christian LeMay and walkons handle the backup duties. But it’s not something they’ve decided on yet.
“It’s something we’re going to talk about after the season,” Bobo said. “I’d rather not get into it now.”
Redshirting is something Mason said he would consider.
“I would. It’s something I’ll have to sit down and talk to Coach Richt about and see how they feel about it,” Mason said. “I don’t think that would be something that they’d be opposed to. I want to stay here. I really do. I want to be here; I want to be at UGA. I love this place more than I expected I would. My goal is to stay here and I want to stay here. I just need to find out whether that allows me to play the most or not.”
Mason probably would have played more by now if he hadn’t been behind one of the most durable quarterbacks in the business. Despite taking numerous shots the last two seasons, Murray has missed only a couple of snaps in any significant, meaningful games.
“You can’t take away from Aaron being that tough,” Mason said with a laugh. “It’s just the way the ball rolls. You see guys have severe injuries when they barely get hit and then you see Aaron take a shot like he did against Auburn, where he did a quadruple flip and landed on his neck. I’m like, ‘he’s got to come out after that.’ But he just gets up and trots back to the huddle.”
Malcome on top of depth chart
Redshirt freshman Ken Malcome is currently running No. 1 at tailback for the Bulldogs. Leading rusher Isaiah Crowell is No. 2 and Brandon Harton is No. 3.
That’s the way it was as of Saturday, at least, as Richard Samuel (ankle) and Carlton Thomas (knee) remained sidelined. Samuel, however, was able to practice in a limited role on Saturday. He is returning for the bowl from Nov. 1 ankle surgery.
“We expect both those other guys back, but it’s hard to have a real full-fledged competition when they’re not getting an reps,” Bobo said. “So Ken and Isaiah and Brandon are the only three we’ve got right now.”
Injury update
Starting right guard Chris Burnette did not at practice Saturday due to an illness, line coach Will Friend said. . . . Middle linebacker Mike Gilliard (ankle) and defensive end DeAngelo Tyson (ankle), both starters, still were not practicing on Saturday. . . . Wide receiver Rantavious Wooten, out since late September with a concussion caused by a car accident, is practicing in a green jersey. He will not play in the bowl, however, to preserve a medical redshirt season.

Hey I’m not too huge on the Auburn rivalry. I was just kidding though about Reggie Ball being dumb, he’s a good kid. That tandem Auburn had though was potent and it is impressive that Reggie got a win against those guys. Maybe Aaron Murray can beat a top ten team sometime in his career.

Mason’s had some nice moments at UGA but anyone who saw his extended time under center in the Spring game knows he needs to transfer if he wants to play. Simple as that. Too much talent in and coming to Athens. He’s a DGD but them’s the facts.

I heard there is a kid on one of UGA’s intramural flag football teams who can throw the ball a mile and run like the wind. Surely somebody who has never even set foot on a college practice field must be better than everyone else we have. If Richt and Bobo knew half as much as us bloggers, that intramural kid would be our starting QB and Georgia would have won the last dozen national championships. Why don’t they see how green the grass is on the other side of the hill?

“Some of the greatest passes in UF History were between 65-66 to get Steve the Heisman . . . .”
You’re on to something there, “A person.” Sports Illustrated said the blown call by SEC official Doug Mosely on the infamous Lane Fenner catch at FSU in 1965 (or ‘66?) was “the play that won Steve Spurrier the Heisman trophy.”
Us Noles are still moping over that one.

No, the Greatest Pass in UGA history was the pass from Buck Belue to Amp Arnold in the waning moments against an over-sized Notre Dame to run out the clock and win the Consensus National Championship 17-10.
The Bulldogs took over with three minutes remaining, hoping to exhaust the clock. Highlighting the game’s waning minutes was Buck Belue’s first completion of the day to flanker Amp Arnold. The Bulldogs would go on to run out the clock on the game, and their national championship season.

Now the Richt/Bobo braintrust have decided to make Boo Malcome the starter now that UGA is decisive underdog in the Outback vs. Michigan St. Well why didn’t Richt and Bobo make this call vs. LSU in the SECCG ? No the man who knows “what the hell he’s doing”, starts lil ol’ 5-6″ Carlton Thomas and made injured Crowell his backup vs a talented two deep LSU defense. End result 42-10 LSU, and it could have been much worse. The Mad Hatter was having fun laughing on the sidelines and even I, a frustrated Georgia fan, laughed at the futility of Richt trying to challenge Miles. It was like Richt taking a pop gun to the Shootout at the O.K.Corral ! LOL ! Now UGA is facing it’s 4th loss against a team with a winning record. UGA is 10-0 versus bottom feeders, and will be 0-4 vs top twenty teams. Maybe Richt is feeling heat to win because his contract extension is on the table and put away pop-gun Thomas and finally installed big-gun Malcome to start at RB. Richt knows loss to MSU would expose him as a mediocre coach and validate not over-extending him. Point of this matter is Boo should have started in the SECCG, because he was the only healthy SEC-sized back in the stable, but Richt was not smart enough to start him because he was content to play to lose with smallish Thomas and a disabled Crowell. Why didn’t Richt and Bobo start Malcome in the SECCG? Why does QB Mason have to transfer? Why won’t anyone out there make a job offer to OC Bobo and why hasn’t he been demoted? Who lied and said Texas A&M had interest in Richt? Who started that lie that Adam Murray is a bona-fide NFL QB prospect in the mold of a Aaron Rodgers? LOL ! How bad will MSU beat UGA in the bowl? Why would UGA offer an extension to a coach who can no longer beat a ranked team? And finally, how much more coaching mediocrity must kool-aid drinking, homer Georgia fans ignore before they yell out : ENOUGH MEDIOCRITY IS ENOUGH? LOL ! (I’m tired of people laughing at UGA. I’m tired of people saying you guys can only beat Tech). All these dumb questions might go away in a couple of years when Jimbo Fisher fails at FSU and the Seminoles come and wipe the Richt problem off of UGA’s hands. Hopefully Richt will be back in Tallahassee at the end of 2013. Coach Grantham is a DGD at defensive coordinator and has the guts to make Dawgfans proud. He should definately be considered to replace gutless, holier than thou, Richt in 2014. WOOF, WOOF !!

Florida wasn’t any good at Football in 1980. Florida was a Joke. Florida found a way to lose to Georgia in Jacksonville, every single solitary year. Notre Dame ended up # 9 in the AP Poll and Florida end up NOT RANKED, as usual for Florida at the time.
Florida did not win ANY GAME AT ALL THE ENTIRE SEASON before. -0- Wins.

Great Scott, the National Championship Game was against a great Notre Dame team whom Pundits ALL said that we would lose to. They said that Notre Dame was so huge. They said Notre Dame would wipe the floor with us. Even with Herschel Walker injured and having to have his separated shoulder put back in place by UGA doctors on the sidelines, Notre Dame should have beat us; but, we kept the football from Notre Dame and eating up the clock with 3 minutes left was unbelievable. I was there. Trust me on this, that Buck Belue pass to Amp Arnold won us the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

There was another Buck Belue to Amp Arnold pass directly in front of my season tickets that stands out in my mind too. And, I was at Jacksonville in 1980. Were you ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atA0UUI7-u4
Georgia tek had gone ahead 20 to nothing over us in 1978, right after I graduated, my 1st year in my season tickets. Ball right in front of me, now 4th Quarter down 21-28 at the moment. 4th Down. 3 to go from their 42 yard line. Buck Belue sprints to his right, everyone converges. He appears stopped up. They reach to tackle Buck. He jumps up and finds # 82 Amp Arnold streak down the right side line in front of my seats. The pass hits him in stride and he runs in for the touchdown.
27-28.
Vince calls timeout again. Go for 2.
Georgia tek by 1.
Going for the Win, not the tie at Sanford.
Railroad Tracks ROCKING.
2 point conversion. Buck Belue throws the pass near the goal line and 2 Georgia tek defenders are there. 1 draped across the back of our receiver. Penalty. Now, half the distance. Ball on the 1.
Buck Belue sprints left. Georgia tek Defenders breach the line and once again are all over Buck Belue. They reach to tackle him again, and he pitches the ball just as they do. 6′ 165 lbs. Amp Arnold # 82 lined up in the backfield behind Buck Belue and to his Left. Wide Open Amp gets the pitch and walks into the open end zone, everyone having converged on Buck Belue.
28-27.
Buck Belue had many great moments at Georgia and baseball was another of his sports; I should know. I watched those too.
Marquee Wins Buck Belue ?
Absolutely.

80 % of his TD Passes came against teams not 1 of which ended the season in any top 25 of any poll.
Only 20 % of this TD vs the teams who ended up in the top ranked teams, lost every one.
Consistently inconsistent.
Slow.
Small.
Throws passes behind receivers, over their heads, poor timing, horrid footwork, has passes batted down at the line, stares down receivers, does a poor job of going through his progressions, he calls his own name more than half the time, is a Ball Hog, and Holds the ball too long.
Prefers make OL look bad taking sacks than throw ball away.
Doesn’t want to ruin his passing percentage, which of course, if you add in his 48 sacks as an incomplete pass. Aaron Murray should have thrown the football away when he holds it too long and is sacked. A proper QB would have thrown it away instead of trying to make his stats look good in pass completion percentage, which you just know he knows that he is NOT ACCURATE. Instead of holding the ball too long, his pass completion ratio for his career is only
427 completions out of 765 attempts only 55 percent completions career.

If Mason leaves, and it is probably the best move for him, LeMay, will be the backup and that will be the best move for UGA. LeMay might be ready to step up this year, with a year of learning the offense and all the practice he has had. It would appear prudent to me, to work LeMay slowly into some games, and if he really is as good as is claimed, I am sure, if Murray slipped up, LeMay could step in and hopefully do a good job.
I have confidence that the coaches went with the right guy this year. Our Ol line did a great job with rushing but not too great with the pass blocking. Murray can take a hit and get up. We don’t know, or didn’t know last year, whether Mason could do the same thing. If LeMay has put on a few pounds, he might be best to back up Murray anyway. With his speed, he adds another dimension to the QB play, and if I remember correctly, he has a rocket arm as well. We also have a 2012 recruit, named Eaton Bauta, who has good size, and he is also a dual threat back there, so we will still have good depth back there. Mason, I am afraid is like the meat between two slices of bread and I am not sure, that he can out shine Murray enough to warrant his starting over him. If LeMay is all he is advertised to be, he will probably spend this year backing up Murray and be ready to start next year. Murray will not leave early for the NFL, so he will be here at least two more years. If either Mason or LeMay can step up and show superiority to Murray, I would bet they would be named the starter, but Mason, didn’t show that much separation between Murray and himself, and Murray does have command of the offense when he is on the field. It is not always about who throws the ball the farthest or is fastest. Knowing the defense, preparing for the team ahead,, and other intangibles that Murray seems to excel at. He is a good field general and spends more time studying film about the upcoming opponent, than most anybody but the coaches.
If our running game develops as expected this year, Murray will be just fine. He made a few bad decisions last year, but every QB will do that once in a while. He sometimes tries to do too much, but with a more balanced attack, Murray will be just fine. Both LSU and Alabama didn’t have a QB, that would grade out as good as Murray, but they had the support around them, so that they could manage the game, and not have to worry about winning it all the time with their arm. Any QB. will only be as good as his supporting cast. Murray will have more experienced RB’s and receivers around him, so he doesn’t have to push so hard to complete plays. Considering the experience level we had last year, at RB and receivers, he did pretty good in my book. If Mason, truly was as superior to Murray as some claim he is on here, he would have gotten the starting nod over him.

It is what it is…Mason had zero interest from D1 colleges coming out of high school, yet UGA brought him in on scholarship…he’s worked with one of the best QB coaches in college ball and appears to be a quick study…is he better than Murray at this point? who really knows! the way the play calling goes at UGA is to build a lead and then sit on it and control the play calling of the other team by the our defensive coach forcing them to run plays that chew up the clock and what not…this works until you go up against a team that takes what they want and not what they’re given (LSU, Boise State, UF, Aub, UF…top tier coached teams)
Murray’s gone next year no matter what…so, RS Mason and he can hope to be better than LeMay, or just transfer and get with a team that needs a QB in a year…
running a pro-style offense after being in the HS spread all those years is tough to do…struggling with the various ball handling skills, turning their back to the line while dropping back and then finding the receivers and going thru the progression of where they are and who’s open and not…don’t forget about the weak blocking skills that seems to exist with most of the RB’s, and all the while counting 1 thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, and the ball better be gone
Now, not saying that Mason couldn’t do it, but at least give Murray some leeway when discussing Mason’s abilities against mop up duty, and Murray going against the other team’s best…so, I guess with some of your thoughts either Mason needs to start/transfer, or Lemay needs to transfer, because after next year UGA will be in the same boat…one thing about you DAWG you’re passionate, but fickle and never satisfied…Shockley over David Green, yea right! Shock was good to stick around and it payed off for him, will Mason do the same?

In the next couple of seasons I believe that CMR will not be able to keep signing QB’s like he has been able to do. Mason and LeMay both will be leaving I predict. Richt just refuses to give any meaningful game reps to anybody but the starter. Mason is probably better as a pure pocket passer than Murray is. This is not meant as any jab at Aaron, he is an excellent leader. But when you’re getting beat badly ( by LSU etc. ) why not put Mason in ? When you get up by 35 pts against Auburn…same thing. I have never understood CMR’s coaching ideas, and never will I guess.

I hope Bama and Saban stay on the schedule in 2012 so Richt can once more demonstrate to everyone why he won’t deserve the extension and probable pay raise he is going to get. Apparently beating ten nobodies means a lot at UGA. At least to McGarity. Mason should transfer so he can get a fair chance to compete for playing time at some other school…hopefully another SEC school where he, like Mettenberger, may get a chance to come back to Sanford Stadium and make Richt and Bobo look like fools.

“If either Mason or LeMay can step up and show superiority to Murray, I would bet they would be named the starter, but Mason, didn’t show that much separation between Murray and himself, and Murray does have command of the offense when he is on the field.”

Apparently, you have given up on the last game this season against # 12 AP Poll Michigan State with us # 18 AP Poll. As for if Christian LeMay steps up and shows Superiority to Aaron Murray that you think this Offensive Coaching Braintrust, will sit Aaron Murray – I have witnessed no such even tendencies on that front. As for Aaron Murray having Command of the Offense when he is on the field, it depends on whether you are referring to the 80 percent of his TD Passes being against teams who do not finish in the top 25, or whether you are referring to the 9 teams now he will have faced in his 3rd Year in this Offensive “System” who in fact end the seasons in the top 25 of which he has to-date LOST EVERY GAME.

“It is what it is…he’s worked with one of the best QB coaches in college ball and appears to be a quick study…this works until you go up against a team that takes what they want and not what they’re given (UF, Aub, UF…top tier coached teams)”
“Murray’s gone next year no matter what…so, RS Mason and he can hope to be better than LeMay, or just transfer and get with a team that needs a QB in a year…”

Florida 6-Loss Florida dictates what it wants on Offense ?
Auburn 5-Loss Florida dictates what it wants on Offense ?
You repeat yourself on Florida and say again they have an awesome Offense that can do whatever it wants to do on Offense, not sit back and be given only losing options Todd Grantham offers up to them ?
Leads ? We had leads against Boise State, LSU, South Carolina and will dictate with our Defense what Michigan State can do offensively, while none of those 4 did, instead, dictate what we were left with to do against their defenses ?
1 of the Best QB coaches in college ? Who would that be you are referring to ? Mark Richt, who is CEO not Quarterbacks’ coach ? Mike Bobo who is Offensive Coordinator not Quarterbacks’ coach ? Would this refer to the same “Quarterbacks’ Coach at UGA 1 of the Best QB coaches in all of college football who put Matthew Stafford # 4 on the Depth Chart in 2006 behind the likes of Joe Cox and Joe Tereshinski III ? Would this refer to the same Quarterbacks’ Coach at Georgia who has taught Aaron Murray how to properly do his footwork stating now his 4th year here on our campus, having started practicing with the best college qb coach of all-time in the history of college football nationwide since December 2008 bowl game against Michigan State ? This best college football qb coach nationwide, who taught Aaron Murray how to get his timing down ? How to not stare down receivers ? How to not hold the football too long ? How, given all these fantastic receivers such as Chris Conley, Malcolm Mitchell and TE Orson Charles that he is fortunate to have done so well – losing to every team who finishes in the top 25 every single year ? How to manage the game and take advantage of the talent on the offense # 7 average talent every single year for 12 recruiting classes now and taught the QB how to be a Leader ? Taught him how to Throw the Football Away, instead of taking his 52 sacks in 26 games to-date ? Those are the only questions I have for you about your post for us to study this morning, sir ?

CRO I am with you on Aaron. If you would read what I said a little more slowly, I say play your backup QB as much as you possibly can. At some point your starter will be injured. No sense at all in having Murray in there during a blow out game. Absolutly none…
