Video: What’s all the fuss about Gurley, why fewer in injuries and who’s returning kicks?
Cinesport’s Brian Clark dialed me up and wanted to ask me about Georgia’s freshman tailback Todd Gurley, the lack of injuries in preseason camp and some other things. Click the video below and you can hear all about it.

If we are smart like I know Richt is. lol We will start Gurley from the begining of the season. Lets stop being loyal to back up players like Samuel, Malcom. Marshall at this point of his career is a third down back at best. I don’t wan’t to waist anytime in Gurley big game growth. By the time we get into the beef of our schedule, Gurley would be ready. If we keep holding him back, when big games come he would still be in that freshman mistake mold. Treat him like Latimore from SC and watch the young man carry us to a SEC title.

I agree we should be cautiously optimistic…I was one of those last year who thought Crow was a saviour…well we see how that turned out. I just wanna see these guys(the whole team) play hard and maximize their potential. I hate a loss but what is worse is to see those winnable games get away. Im not expecting a NC or even to get back to the SEC…Im just gonna be fired up and root for these guys as hard as I can. GO DAWGS!!!

@ SC Dawg:
If talking smack about UGA with the competition is really high among your priorities then you have a much, much bigger problem. urley had a couple of long TD runs but other than that he is averaging about 2 to 3 yards/carry. Marshal is getting injured a little too frequently but we will have Malcome and Samuels to rely on early on.
With all the bitching and negatives on here by DFINO will continue to hurt UGA especially in recruiting so maybe you should save up your sick leave for Mondays after UGA plays on Saturdays.
I expect great things from the Dawgs this year but it not only takes a great team to go undefeated, you must have few injuries and some luck. I will be pulling for the Dawgs evert game but it is insane to let it take over your health and mind!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheer up!!!! It is just a game but I live and die with the Dawgs as much as anybody. Nobody goes undefeated ALL the time and some even win the MNC without winning their conference or their division!!!!

@ Dawg For Life:
Either you are new on here or you don’t pay attention or both, At least 90% of those on here know my affiliation. I AM A BIG BOY and received a scholarship to play LB. I am on here to have fun and harass a few people including those who are DFINO or so-called dawg fans that bitch and moan about most anything UGA and I believe you fall in the latter category.
If not then I apologize and if you need any references as to who my favorite and only team is you may check it out with KING DADDY!!!!!
Nother thang. It doesn’t bother me one bit to be called a GT fan or most any other name except AW BARN or USCe(aka Chikun U )

Totally dillusional doggie fans – let’s review the probable losses for UGA this year:
MO – 50/50 game (UGA has stunk against B12 teams on the road – see OSU and Colorado).
Tennessee – 50/50 game – upset special – UGA thinking about Columbia and TN will be better than
many are giving them credit.
South Carolina: 30/70 – USCe will win this game as they are a better program. Spurrier vs Richt as HC? Spurrier vs Bobo as OC? USC will make it 3 in a row as they beat the over-rated doggies.
Florida -40/60 – Gators will be favorite – this team is more athletically talented than UGA and wll have a better defense. They will find their offensive identity by this game and they have a talented OL. Look for this team to be a very physical running team.
Auburn – wow wish both teams could lose this one. A second rate university in Alabama vs the state university of georgia which is a football wannebe team. What has uga exactly done on a national level? 2 national titles – one during WW2 when half the country did not field teams and the last in 1980? wow – really impressive, georgia …….really impressive.
and one mo thing suckas……………… ROOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL TIDE!!!!

Tide4Life…chauk up a loss against Michigan in the first game. Your defense has too many holes to plug this year…..I see a three or four loss season in store for the Tide this season. When Ga. Southern can light you up like a Christmas tree last year no telling what the Woverines are gonna do to you….and we’re laugh our ass’es off.LOLLOLLOL

Start Gurley! He has won the competition at running back. Mix those other guys in. Marshall skhould have a screen game package in for him to untilize that speed he has. The other backs like Malcum and Samuel should be used to wear down the defense and let Gurley finish them off!

Question? Wasn’t it supposed to be competition for the running backs as well as the other positions on the team? Well, the answer is that Gurley won the competition and deserves to start against Buffalo. Stop worrying about hurting someone’s feelings such as been the case with Aaron Murray for the last couple of years. Putting Gurley in for the Buffalo game will be great experience for getting him ready for the Missouri game and the DAWGS will sure as heck need him as well as the others then! GO DAWGS!!

Samuel had a good run against Arkansas and played a really great quarter against Florida.
That’s no reason to have to kiss him on the lips. He’s a serial underachiever according to the facts.

Calm down dog nation. As usual there is no place for the number 6 ranked team to go but down. The only tough game on your schedue is the last one and my prediction is that that loss will send you to another minor bowl. And Buffalo is better than you think.
