Notebook: QB Hutson Mason hopes he doesn’t get called on

GEORGIA FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

ATHENS — If all goes as Hutson Mason hopes, he won’t play Saturday against Buffalo. If he gets his way, he won’t play all season.

That may seem like an odd aspiration for a backup quarterback at an SEC school, but it makes perfect sense to Mason, a junior quarterback from Marietta.

Mason is the Bulldogs’ clear No. 2 quarterback behind three-year starter Aaron Murray. But the Lassiter High graduate hopes to redshirt this season in order to put a year of eligibility between him and Murray. That way he will have at least a year to possibly run the offense as the starter after Murray graduates.

“I never really pictured it to go this way,” said Mason, who set the Georgia high school record for passing yards (4,560) and touchdown passes (54) as a senior. “It’s so funky and there are so many what-ifs.”

The main what-if is Murray. Mason has backed up Murray the past two seasons and has been very impressive in doing so, completing 27 of 47 passes for 356 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. But Mason has had few snaps in meaningful games. Almost all of his work has come in mop-up duty late in blowouts.

Much of that is a testament to Murray’s durability. Mason has called his good buddy “Superman” because he never gets hurt. Mason hopes that if he gets a year between him and Murray, he could lead the Bulldogs in some marquee games.

“I’ve never hoped Aaron gets hurt,” Mason said. “I love Aaron.  I’m knocking on wood hoping Aaron lights it up and stays healthy.

“But it’s basically the same thing for me this year. Coaches have told me that I’m the No. 2 guy, and if Murray goes down I’m going to go in. But then you’d have to figure out how long he might be out for and that kind of thing. So I’m just treating it the exact same way and preparing the same way I did last year. I’m hoping I don’t play but, at the same time, I’ve got to get ready.”

That’s what Georgia’s coaches are saying. Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Bobo has made it clear that Mason is his second-best guy and, half-jokingly, refuses to acknowledge that redshirting is an option for him.

Meanwhile, redshirt freshman Christian LeMay is available to take snaps in a blowout scenario such as the Bulldogs could have Saturday against Buffalo. But he apparently is not quite ready to jump into the firestorm that is SEC play.

Coach Mark Richt wasn’t even guaranteeing snaps for LeMay on Saturday. “Our plan is to line up with Aaron and try to win the game,” he said. “We don’t have a plan like with D.J. [Shockley] back in the day where we knew he was going to play in the first half. We’ll just see how the game goes and sub if possible.”

Dantzler OK as gap-filler

Line coaches often refer to plays such as Watts Dantzler as “puddy” or “caulk.” It’s meant to be a compliment, as in “you can plug him into any gap and he’ll fill in.”

That’s the role that has befallen the hulking sophomore heading into the season. Though he began preseason camp No. 1 at right tackle, he ended it as No. 2 at as many as four positions. Center is the only position at which he hasn’t taken snaps in August.

“I actually took some snaps at center this summer,” said Dantzler, a 6-foot-7, 320-pound sophomore from Dalton. “If they wanted me to I would do that but I don’t think Boss would like it. Other than that I’ve played just about every position. And I think it’s helped me. I’m very confident in the playbook and the calls.”

Dantzler was beaten out at right tackle by freshman John Theus, a five-star signee who has been impressive since the outset. After that Dantzler began to get a lot of work at right tackle. In last half of camp he started to work at left tackle and guard.

“It’s difficult switching positions., especially having to switch stances on the left side,” Dantzler said. “But I think I’m versatile and know what to do at any given position. So I think that helps out.”

Dantzler said he was disappointed to not win the job at right tackle, but said Theus deserves to start.

“I have a lot of things I’ve got to work; I’ve got to get better, definitely,” he said. “I’m happy for the ones. I think we’ve got a great offensive line. The starting five is really good and I think me and Austin [Long] are both definitely ready to step in and contribute when our time is called.”

Practice report

The sixth-ranked Bulldogs completed their 26th practice of the preseason on Wednesday with a 90-minute practice in jerseys, shorts and helmets Wednesday.

“We’re ready to go,”  Richt said. “Let’s play some football. We’re about done, we’ve got one more day of practice.”

Thursday the Bulldogs will have a brief non-contact practice walk-through Saturday’s game plan.

Etc.

Asked what positions most intrigued him to see in action Saturday, Richt said “punters and kickers.” Also, “it’ll be fun to watch our backs.” … Tight end Jay Rome remained “limited” in Georgia’s practice Wednesday with a hamstring strain and is questionable for Saturday’s game. … Nose guard Kwame Geathers (shoulder bruise) and defensive end Cornelius Washington (neck sprain) returned to practice and will be able to play Saturday.

Just so you know…..Dawg fans……Phil Steele……the most accurate preseason prognosticator for college football (he picked Georgia to win the East last year)……picked the Gators tonight on ESPN to not only win the East but to seriously challenge for the SEC title in the championship game…….saying Florida has the best defense in the SEC….one of the best special teams in America…..and will improve dramatically on offense under Pease this year. Just so you know…..all of you saying the Gators are doomed under Muschamp.

I agree that Florida is a very good team but my question is do they have a leader. Not knowing exactly who the Quarterback will be is a huge problem for them. The entire team feeds off the Quarterback.
I will admit that Georgia should have lost last years game against Florida. For some reason Murray completely go’s off the deep end when we play Florida. He has not been able to control his emotions or patience. We will just have to wait and see if he has finally learned to be the leader that Richt and Bobo have hoped for.

Huh?

Bigdawg…comparing what happened to UGA in 2007 to what happened to Bama last year is a ridiculous arguement. The only thing those two teams had in common was that neither won the conference title.

2007 was 5 years ago. Let it go.

I don’t like the backup QB situation. So if Murray just sprains his ankle in week 2, and just missed the game against Mizzou (and comes back the next game), then Mason replaces him and loses the ability to redshirt over just part of ONE game???? Makes no sense. LeMay SHOULD be ready. That says a lot about Bobo as a QB coach, IMO.

Also, doesn’t each team have 29 practices available over the summer, or am I wrong?? Even if the practice over the next 2 days, that’s only 28 practices. You’re telling me this team is so good they can afford to leave a practice unused?? THAT says a lot about Richt’s abilities to coordinate a schedule, IMO.

It is utterly pointless to argue who will win specific games two months from now because everybody knows that anything can happen between now and then; however, I am going to agree with Tampa Gator and Phil Steele on this much–the Gators are being overlooked in a serious way, and they are much better than people realize. The D should be awesome. In fact, trying to rank UF, USC, and UGA is tough right now. I think the SECE is much stronger than the media think. I also think the West is slightly weaker than last year, but still the strongest. I expect SC or UF to beat either UA or LSU in a game and I expect both to beat ARK. The Dawgs are dependent on the O line and not getting injured in key spots. If our O line is strong we will be very hard to beat by anybody, and if they are weak we will likely come up short. They have huge challenges in front of them in SC and UF. The season is largely on their shoulders imho.

@Galen Hall……

FSU had less that 100 yards of total offense in that game. And yes, John Brantley was and is horrible….and he is gone. So are the scat backs that were better suited for the spread. And that is all the Gators lost last year. Gillislee is going to be a much better back in this offense and Pease’s offensive scheme will significantly improve the Gators O this year.

@7576….

As Phil Steele stated last night……Bama started last year with the inexperienced McCarron and Sims alternating in game one……and McCarron stepped up in that game and Bama did OK after that. Driskell and Brissett are very talented QBs and I expect the battle between the two of them is going to turn one, or maybe both, into outstanding QBs for the Gators….this year. But time will tell.

Tampa Gator,

I don’t think the Gators are doomed. I’ve always maintained that it’s crazy to think that Jax is a foregone conclusion based on athleticism alone. But, what I want to ask you is where does a prognosticator line up on the field? I don’t care what Phil Steel or any of them predict.

I too have read him over the years….and I beg to differ with you.

He is considered an expert in evaluating teams after the previous season and during the preseason. He crunches data and evaluates it like no other.

Dawgs have not beat a top 20 team in years. Lost last 2 games played in 2011. Sounds like a championship program to me!? Only team getting more undeserved hype than the Dawgs are the Clemson Tigers. Clemson humiliated in last 2 games (SC and WV). Beat somebody (Dawgs only play 1 top 20 team, SC) then you can crow. Until then, we all know who is top team in SEC East, South Carolina!

Changer, if Murray gets blocking this year, I think he is a serious Heisman contender. He has been rated higher than Mett and Barkley in competitions in the past. Bottom line is that if we block for Murray, he can pick anybody apart.
Run East, I realize you are anti-Dawg, but that is a dumb argument buddy. Look at the 1926 Yankees. They lost the World Series (the big games at the end of the season), but the next year they became one of the truly legendary baseball teams of all time. What changed about Ruth, Gehrig and company in the one year? Last year was last year and this year is a whole new ball game.

Tampa Gator, I don’t doubt you are correct quoting Phil Steele’s prediction, but I’m not sure I understand it. His web page, dated today, has UF at #24, SC at #10, and UGA at #6, yet he says UF will win the East? If he’s that confident the Gators will be much improved in 2012, wouldn’t he rank them higher? Must be some sort of new math………

He has LSU at #1, Bama at #3, and Arkansas at #7. Who did he pick to win the West?

On the QB issue, I noticed on the ABH site (also one of my favorites) the media are beginning to talk about Lemay being African American, and I saw this–that they asked Christian what he thought about being the third AA to potentially start there (after Q Carter and DJ), and I was just shocked. These poor guys have *totally* forgotten one of our most exciting QBs to watch–James Jackson, and another great Dawg–Wayne Johnson, both from the 80s. I hope the ABH will run a piece on both of those guys as an act of repentance!! Go Dawgs.

Murray is not a finished product, but practically every QB does better his last two years than his first two.

As to Murray’s skills, I will defer to the likes of Archie Manning, Nick Saban, Steve Spurrier, and other coaches who rate him highly, over Gamechanger and other posters whose credentials I suspect are inferior to those mentioned.

Real easy folks

Murray is better than Mason
Mason is a lot better than Lemay
Lemay has not played a meaningful game in 2 years and has never taken a snap in a real college game

If Murray goes down, Mason is the best option and yes, his redshirt will be blown. If it is for a considerable amount of time, the QB position at UGA for 2012 just got worse.

Lemay not being ready to play has nothing to do with Bobo and this so called inability to get a QB ready. It has everything to do with learning the playbook and inexperience.

It will be exciting to see many of the new guys we have in the rotation and what they can bring to the table potentially against real competition.

Until our o line can show a dominating performance against a top opponent – and frankly we may not meet that criteria until SC -then all bets are off. We need to come out next week in the other Columbia and dictate the game by completely controlling the LOS on both fronts, most specifically Will Friends group.

Phil Steele like all of the other talking head prognosticators starts out with a 50% chance of being right. His record on UGA picks must be somewhere around 15-20%. You mentioned that he picked UGA to win the east last year. He picked UGA to win a NC in 08, then to win the East in 09 and 10. I like Steele as he measures where many others do not but, I caution you to not hang your hat on his predictions

Murray may or may not be better than Mason, most of us won’t know because we haven’t seen him in game conditions. I believe there were opportunites last year where he could have been significantly more involved in several games, giving him more game experience should Murray go down. I have to wonder why Richt gives him the minimum playing time possible. Is it to pad Murrays stats, or is he worried he may have to make a tough decision.

robodawg

@Tampa Gator – I definitely agree no one should count the Gators out. The prognosticators who don’t give you a chance in the East aren’t paying enough attention. That said, “best defense in the SEC” is a bit of a stretch.

robodawg

August 30th, 2012

@Mobile Dawg — This has been a problem for years. One reason our backups don’t get much playing time is that we’ve had more trouble than we should putting opponents away. It was the same when Joe Cox was backing Stafford.

Back when we were making sure Shockley got put in games behind Greene it definitely eased the transition to 2005 and led to an SEC title.

Hutson should have been a starter for a top College program as a freshman or at least Sophomore. Hopefully he will get to start next year and show the NFL his great skills. I watched him over the years at Lassiter H.S. and he really is special.

I am a Dawg fan and cannot wait for this season to start. Also, I am as anti-Florida as they come. With that being said, we as Dawg fans shouldn’t bash Muschamp quite so much. Remember, he is a Dawg. No matter what is said, he loves Bulldawg Nation. He’s just trying to advance himself and make a fat paycheck like the rest of us. Don’t be so hard on him ha Go Dawgs!

This is worrisome to me and my DAWGS that our backup QB is not ready and scared to play in a game already! This must be a total TEAM effort to win this ballgame….Mason seems more of a me-first person than a team-first person. We don’t need players like that on OUR TEAM! Goodbye and good riddance Mr. Mason!

Here lies the problem with UGA, All in this article. Murray is REQUIRED to stay HEALTHY.
Mason has NOT played against BIG time competition. The OL is so untested and may lead to more issues than expected by many on these blogs. If Murray does not have great games each week against SEC opponents or is forced into making poor decisions then it will be a downer for the bulldawg nation.

As for Florida. The folks who have seen many practices in the spring and summer camps say that UF is not as well off as Tampa Gator is selling his program. The UF defense will be good, but if their offense leaves their defense on the field like they did last year then their lack of depth will show up very very quick. However UF does match up well with UGA better than they do with USC.

My suprise team that may contend is Vanderbilt. They are now a physical team who are smart and do not make dumb mistakes. I guess tonight we will see the two teams that may push UGA for the East title.

Let me say it now, If Goergia beats SC in Columbia, they will win it all. William Brice stadium has turned into a menacing place. We sat in the stands 2 years ago and watched ML run over the Dawgs. Then after the game, we had to basically fight our way through drunk tailgating(game) cock lovers throwing obsenity after obsenity our way. I will never spend another dime there.It was a hellish enviroment both in and outside the stadium. GO DAWGS!

___________________________________________________________

Not taking sides here, but you could substitute that with a UGA home game against the USC and their fans would tell you the same thing about UGA and SOME of their fans. The Wisconsin fans did a poll last year with their fans on who were the worst fans they played against and UGA came in 2nd after their bowl game in Tampa a few years back. Maybe it was SEC bias? Either way we all have dumb, drunk fans who show no class.

This is so typical of Georgia when it comes to Black QB’s to always look at them to be unprepared. I could go back and bring some history, but I’ll digress. I watched this kid in the spring game, and I know without a shadow of doubt that LeMay could lead this team. Truth be told this wasn’t Murray’s team to lead, but Mattenberger. Murray got this job by default. Now do I think Murray is a decent QB? Yes, but I know Mason or Lemay could lead this team and Bobo as and evaluater is a joke. Isn’t this the same Mike Bobo that Everybody in the state knew Hines Ward should’ve been playing in front of? The Hines Ward thing kinda worked out. LeMay will Transfer Out next year, and unlike Shockley will get more snaps. somewhere else.Georgia, if you haven’t noticed Clemson, Florida State, Auburn, LSU, UF, Tenn, Texas, Neb, OU, Just to name a few have played and won nat’l titles with a Black kid.

ARdawg, You are wearing your Red and Black Colored Glasses Today. I am a female with three kids who are Big Time Football fans and two years ago we attended the Arkansas UGA Game in Athens and my kids were yelled at, Barked at, Cursed and Abused by Some Drunk Barking Georgia Fans for 3 quarters. Some very nice Older Gentlemen with a Red Blazer on it came over and finally told the group to sit down enjoy their game and keep their vulgarity to themselves or he would insure they would never step inside the stadium again. After the game we were cursed and treated like we were from another planet with our Razorback clothes on. My kid ages 5, 9, 12 at the time said they never wanted to go back to a Georgia game. Our nephew played at Arkansas at the time and he said that Georgia fans were very close to LSU fans when it came to drunks and bad behavior.

These are student athletes, not pros and some fans just have no class. I am sure our Razorback fans have some idiots and misbehave. I just do not think painting some glorious pictures about how nice Athens is really is not honest.

I think the SEC East is grossly overlooked this year. Tampa Gator, I agree that Florida will be better than what most think. UGA fans seem to forget that allot of sucessful teams have run a dual QB syatem and have had success, UGA being one of them. TN is going to be significantly better than last year. They may have one of the best Olines in the SEC and Bray is the real deal. SC is strong, but I question Lattimore’s resolve and his willingness to sacrifice his body like he did before ACL surgery. He’ll be productive, but I am unsure of how much. No more Alshon Jeffrey and I’m not convinced that Connor Shaw is any better than Joe Cox. FLA, TN, UGA, and SC are all better than what people think.

As a dawg fan, we need TN to be undefeated and ranked when we play them, to do that they will have to beat Florida in Knoxville, which isnt out of the question. I think all 3 teams – TN, SC, and FLA (possibly Auburn) will be ranked in the top 25 when we see them .

@Matt, I believe Murray actually earned his degree this past May, and all the “talk” is that he plans to head to the NFL. He even filed the preliminary paperwork at the end of last season out of what he called “curiosity”, just to see his projected NFL draft status. So odds are he’s only here for one more season, trying to “up” his draft status. But, who knows, for some reason, he could stay and to your point, Mason could be screwed…….

Not really. Redshirting will do nothing but put a year of separation between Hutson and Murray. If Murray goes pro and Hutson redshirted the year, then he’ll still have two years eligibilty. Murray decides to stay a year then Hutson will still have one year of eligibilty. Good move on Hutsons part. He pretty well knows he’s got the job if Murray isn’t there.

Do you understand that The Schedule of UGA is going to be their downfall this year? Not playing anyone of substance outside the conference is going to have other schools leapfrogging UGA all year. Name the ranked schools that UGA plays?

USC, UF, Auburn……

The conference schedule is uncontrollable, the outer conference is controllable. When you line up each year with an outer conference foe that is ranked year in and year out, and keeps those on your schedule you know your program has reached the level of success others are yardsticks by.

Lemay is the future and Ramsey should be next in line. CMR shouldn’t give the keys to Mason just because he stayed with the program. CMR really had no choice with Joe Cox so learn from Cox and move forward. Mason is not the future for the program, Lemay and Ramsey should be the guys groomed to lead the program into the national spotlight and championships.

Same coaching staff that said Cam Newton was a tight-end. With this coaching staff the opposite of what they say is the real truth. Therefore, LeMay is the best QB, then Mason and last Murray. Bet on it!

The word is “putty,” not “puddy.” Damn, man!

[...] QB Hutson Mason hopes he’s not called on this year [...]
