UGA freshman Keith Marshall challenges veteran Malcolm Mitchell to a foot race and . . .
So those of you who are pretty wired in via Twitter and Facebook have probably already seen the video of new Georgia tailback Keith Marshall racing rising sophomore wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell on Woodruff Practice Fields recently. If you missed it, I’m happy to provide it HERE.
Marshall
First, a little background. Apparently this was the third time these two young football stars raced in a 40-yard dash. The first time, Mitchell reportedly won and quarterback Aaron Murray didn’t get to see it and he complained about it. So they did it again the other day, with Murray shooting video and wide receiver Chris Conley providing color commentary.
Spoiler alert: Marshall, who supposedly came to Georgia with a 4.3-second 40-yard time (and similar GPA), wins the last two races by an eyelash. But I would suspect Bulldogs’ fans are more intrigued just by the fact Marshall was willing to compete against one of the teams’ established stars. Says a little something about his competitive nature, I’d say.
Mitchell, of course, emerged as one of the Bulldogs’ most explosive offensive threats as a true freshman this past season and finished as the Bulldogs’ second-leading receiver with 45 catches for 665 yards despite missing three games due to injury. Marshall is a 5-star prospect and the No. 1-rated running back in America, according to Scout.com. He enrolled early at UGA.
Anyway, just wanted to throw it out there for any of you folks who might have missed it. Besides, considering Mitchell’s problems with a hamstring injury last season, I suspect the coaches have seen this and already shut down the race track. I’m just guessing but, as Apollo Creed said in the first Rocky, “ain’t gonna be no rematch.”

DiLex but les only went with 1 for the BCS CG and it bit him on the butt. i don’t think the 2 QB systemis good but I do think you have to play the back-up in meaningful games. he has to play in the heat of battle when the best players are still in the game.

13-1 SEC East Champions 2012
January 17th, 2012

(1) Isn’t this where you all tell me to quit talking about the past 4 Losses Last Year ?
(2) Can’t I at least be positive about the next season (or substitute next game) like something has changed other than we played the single easiest schedule of all SEC teams 2011 and now 2012 have an even Easier schedule, yet ?
(3) Let’s get on to the 13-1 prediction with us handed our hats in The SEC Championship Game (again) not playing another team or maybe 1 who end up in the top 25.
(4) Or, that I said something other than ended up top 25, which we have lost 9 consecutive games and counting against. (Nice job Aaron Murray.)
(5) Or, that I said something other than ended up top 10, which we have lost 7 consecutive games and counting against.
This football team with Keith Marshall Captain and leader on offense and leader off-the-field will go 13-1 this season. We play at most 1 team who ends up top 25 all regular season. We have for my season tickets 7 sorry home games, not 1 good game in the whole season. Mizzou lost all their players. They return a running qb who cannot throw. They have no pass defense and no special teams. We get our hats handed to us in The SEC Championship Game (again) and our losses 11 to-date of the 27 Aaron Murray starts, and all games where the other QB on the other team was clearly and undeniably better that day than Aaron Murray.

Maybe this shows some competitive fire in Marshall. But what it really shows is that the veteran guys are making the freshman guys feel comfortable enough to hang out with them outside of practice. That’s important because we need the freshmen to feel comfortable going to the vets for advice about how to handle football and college life in general.

Our players are as big, strong and fast as anyone in the SEC now…Thats the difference! Willie Martenez might still have a job if we had scrapped Mat Drills about 5 years ago! We have highly conditioned studs now and thats the difference from 2 years ago. Hell we were giving our players $2000 at the beginning of the year and saying eat good boys. What do you think most 18 and 19 year olds did with that money! Joe T and the dietary staff are to thank for the improvements…Oh and Grantham is the bomb too We are gonna be so good!
We did you put my Kool aid??? That ain’t cool!

Can someone tell me WHY Marshall and Gurley didn’t make the Parade All-America team? Trey Edmunds of nearby Ringgold, Va made it. He can’t hold a candle to either Marshall or Gurley– and I’ve seen him play.

It doesn’t make a damn bit of difference how many 4 & 5 star players UGA has, they are still going to be coached by Richt and his adopted boy Bobo. Hey, McGarity how about a 5 year extension. Why just give 2 or 3? No confidence in Richt?

Look at the quarterback and runningback voids that were there after Stafford and Knowshon left…Im not saying whos fault that is but the qb’s and rb’s were pretty much junk. We’re back baby! You can talk about all the 4 and 5 stars you want but they havent been there for the key positions in a few years…But we got’em now baby! Everybody wants to play for Grantham on D and we have a legit crew on offense!

Falt Tire , Your head coaching list other that Gruden and possibly Patterson is pretty much a joke.Gruden probably not going to coach again. Mike Leach, PJ that Passes.
Chris Peterson, Would he be able to recruit? He wins 1 big game and lose 1 big game every year.
Kirby Smart , the Will Muschchamp thing is working in Florida well isn’t it.
If you don’t like Richt , cheer for Tech.
