Missouri player: UGA plays ‘old-man football’
Missouri does not enter the SEC shyly. Quite the opposite, based on comments by one player.
According to an article in the Columbia (Mo.) Daily Tribune on Sunday, Missouri defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson was asked after the Tigers’ 62-10 victory over Southeastern Lousiana Saturday night if he watched the Georgia-Buffalo game on television earlier in the day.
“I watched the game. I turned it off, too,” Richardson was quoted as saying. “… It’s like watching Big Ten football. It’s old-man football.”
Then this: “If we execute, nobody in this league [the SEC] can touch us. Period.”
Missouri, which officially became an SEC member on July 1, opens play in its new league by hosting Georgia at 7:45 p.m. Saturday in sold-out Memorial Stadium.
Georgia coach Mark Richt laughed when informed, on his weekly teleconference with reporters Sunday evening, of Richardson’s comment.
“’Old-man football?’ Well, I don’t know what he meant by that,” Richt said. “But bottom line is, we got to get after it and do what we do well, and they’ll be trying to stop everything we’re trying to get accomplished.”
The game provides multiple challenges for Georgia, not the least of which will be the emotion associated with Missouri’s much-anticipated SEC debut.
“It’s a huge game for them, no doubt,” Richt said. “It’s a huge game for us, too, though, because we’ve got our goals. And they’ve got their goals. Shoot, to me, it’s the biggest game of the year, no doubt. … It’s a monster game.”
Being the visiting team for Missouri’s SEC opener “is not the best draw,” Richt added. “But it is what it is.”
Aside from the sure-to-be-charged atmosphere, another major issue Georgia will face: Missouri’s spread offense, led by dual-threat quarterback James Franklin, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound junior who last season passed for 2,865 yards, ran for 981 yards and accounted for 36 touchdowns (21 passing and 15 rushing).
“It’s a problem,” Richt said of defending Franklin. “A quarterback who can run well is a problem. … And they’re going to spread you out. They’re going to get you in a lot of four- and five-wide looks. … It’s a space game, and space is the enemy of the defenses.”
Franklin had surgery on his shoulder in the off-season but reportedly did not have any problems with it in the opener against Southeastern Louisiana, an FCS team. He completed 13 of 21 passes for 131 yards and ran six times for 39 yards.
Comparing Missouri’s opener with Georgia’s performance in its 45-23 victory over Buffalo, “it looked like [on film] Missouri’s boys played harder than our boys played,” Richt said. But he added that the Bulldogs “probably played as hard we could” considering the heat and humidity in Athens.
Etc.
As of Sunday’s teleconference, Richt said he had received no updates on the status of any of his team’s injured players. … Richt on Connor Norman, a former walk-on who started at safety against Buffalo: “Overall, Connor did a good job. I can think of one play where he missed a tackle out there in space, but just about every safety in America is going to miss a tackle here and there when you’ve got too much space with a back.” Richt said Corey Moore “continues to push hard for playing time [at safety], but right now we think Connor is more ready to play.” … As expected, Richt stayed mum on the status for the Missouri game of suspended players Bacarri Rambo and Alec Ogletree. “We’ll know when the time comes,” he said. . . . Despite Ken Malcome’s hand injury and Todd Gurley’s huge opening game, Richt wasn’t ready to publicly commit to the freshman Gurley as Georgia’s primary running back for this week. “Well, he’ll definitely get the ball, that’s for sure,” Richt said.

Augusta Dawg, grow up on the “first” thing. Nobody cares. Regarding Richardson, why is this thug talking smack? Guess he doesn’t know what he and Missouri are in for in joining the SEC. Thanks for the buletin board material! If they execute, nobody in the league can touch them? Yea I would love to see how they do against Alabama.

Sometimes the ole man needs to get the new kid in shape. If the D plays as it should (better than this past Saturday) we should be fine. There was no pressure on the QB. Plow Franklin in the new turf and control the clock. Forget this 50 yard pass on every first down. Let murray get in a ryhtym first. He was way off early. Where are the 5-10-15 yard slants and all so he can get comfortable. Use the BEAST (Gurley). Like Marshall as well. He needs to catch better. Can’t believe he dropped Wootens pass. Maybe nerves. Can drop them this Saturday. Make a statement!

I’m sorry, Coach Richt, but I completely disagree with your assessment of Connor Norman. He was out of position all day and whiffed on more than one tackle. I’m not sure who is next in line (Josh Harvey-Clemons), but we need someone better out there.

I’m still worried about Gurley missing some blocking assignments against higher class opponents still, but man he looked good!

I think it will, especially now. I bet Grantham has that post up on the wall for the ENTIRE defense to see everyday before practice, after practice, and I’d be whispering it in their ear during practice. Why would you want to give a defense reason to play harder? Good teams shut up and play on the field. Idiots run their mouths.

You can hate if you want wise, but the kid showed excellent potential. I still think Malcome is the guy to start still. At least until Gurley proves himself. You need to give credit where the credit is due. Remember, the rest of the backs played against Buff too, and didn’t come close to making as much of an impact.

No one has anointed Gurley. We can celebrate his accomplishments and hopefully he can accept criticisms like the blocking that needs to improve. He has that burst and strength. Running through a group of people is still tough even if it is buffalo. He’s done that the past couple of years. I agree we shouldn’t annoit him, but fortunately he doesn’t have the baggage that IC had. He has a good head on his shoulders. I do hope IC gets it together. Too much talent.

Old man football is Wing-T and option. When was the last time you saw UGA run a pure option. We throw it in every now and then, but it doesn’t work very well in this league because of the hits your QB takes. Since the infasis is now on passing instead of running for the QB, the option has slowly faded out in the SEC. We play an older style of football, but if you run the ball effectively, the I formation is just as deadly as the spread…just ask Alabama how effective the power running offense is. If you run well, you can use play action which really stresses defenses. Not to mention, you can grind the clock and keep the other offense off of the field.

I think that UGA is way better than they showed against Buffalo. The offense is going to be fine and the defense will get better. If you guys remember Coach Richt said earlier in the week that he wasn’t sure what Buffalo would run. After halftime the defense executed and only gave up one score. Go Dawgs!

UGA the most dangerous defense in America? You’ve got to be kidding. UGA has beat exactly nobody with a decent offense the past three seasons. Your numbers are inflated by having a very favorable schedule. Any team you faced with a good offense has torched Grantham. If UGA would have played Alabama, LSU, and ARK last year they would have been a 5 loss team and their defensive numbers would be average. Mizz doesn’t have a great defense either but their offense is solid. Mark it down. It’s going to be a shootout, something like 34-30, either team could win.

ill take that Augusta, im just saying, not to diminish his work or accomplishments, IT WAS GREAT. but it was Buffalo there was nobody on the other side of the ball in his athletic league, thats why we paid them so much to come get beat, the announcers said there was only one person even close to his 4.3 speed, and that was like 4.41 and it was one person haha. Just saying id like to see him grow some have more games before we start the hype train up fully, he may have a good head but pressure to be our answer to our long Rb hunt can stunt growth, just my two cents.

James, you are a fool. The reason UGA lost a lot of the games last year was due to turnovers. Remember that LSU didn’t do anything against UGA’s defense for the first half. It wasn’t until bobo pulled the plug on running an agressive offense that LSU began to dominate. UGA looked exhausted because they were. They are better than you give them credit for. Numbers don’t lie, and as “favorable” as their schedule has been the last two years, they still play in the SEC which has dominated other conferences for several years…in other words, a “soft” SEC schedule is still better than a “hard” pac-12 or acc schedule.

8:22 pm
UGA all the way….no you are a fool. I am looking at the numbers. You are just making excuses? Turnovers and players being tired? Oh my. Welcome to football! Anyways, just look at Grantham’s time at UGA, in 2010 UGA gave up 287 points. In 2011 UGA gave up 288 points, almost identical despite a difference of several losses (6-7 in 2010 and 10-4 in 2011). I hate to break it to you but that isn’t good enough. If you want to win a national championship you have to be around 130-160 points given up. Defense wins championships and with the exception to Auburn in 2010, you can go back and see for yourself that championship teams win with less than 200 points. You can expect more of the same this year….and no one is impressed you are racking up wins against KY, VY, MISS, MISS ST, SC, deflated Auburn and Tennessee teams…it’s the SEC no doubt but the fact remains UGA has beat nobody in the past 3 years and some of those players are still on the team. Put your money where your mouth is…I will bet you $100 through paypal Mizz scores 30+
UGA all the Way
September 2nd, 2012
8:25 pm
Mark my words, UGA allows much less than 200 points in Grantham’s third year james. You can’t expect a team dedicated to a 4-3 scheme to just turn over to a 3-4 overnight. It takes time. If you don’t believe that, just look at what happened to bama when they did it. You don’t just start off winning. You have to recruit first to fit the scheme. That takes between two and three years. Mizz doesn’t score 17.

I doubt South Carolina’s front seven will even show up at Williams Brice, and if you back into another SEC east title, I know Alabama’s linebackers want none of those two! Richt and Booboo are certifiable. Y’all realize that don’t you? 68 scholarship athletes BEFORE attrition sets in.

The quote from the Missouri player is a gift, an absolute gift. Really, you couldn’t ask for much better bulletin-board material. I would assume that the Mizzou coach had a near-stroke when he saw the quote. I pray that the Dawgs are smart enough to use it as fuel this week. Part of me is terrified that the Dawgs will not show up, but another part is fired up for the opportunity to take a major step forward. Alabama clearly threw down the gauntlet, and it’ll be fun to see if we earn the right to take them on in December. And would be darn nice to have Mitchell, ‘Tree, and Rambo back on Saturday.

James Franklin is going to Cam Newton y’all’s ass. You got no depth. And once again Garner puts Geathers and Abry Jones out there “Out of Shape.” and Washington and Drew are soft AND inconsistant. And Franklin is not afraid of going straight at Conner Norman, I can assure you. It’s unbelievable! And with Booboo and his “3 and out offense” throwing the damn rock all over the place because YET AGAIN, you can’t pound it, your defense will get worn out against this high octane offense that apparently Booboo is incapable of executing. And how the hell do you scrimmage? You have 4 SEC caliber offensive linemen. FOUR! And two of ‘em don’t even start! What a joke of a program. 32 years.

Still thinking about Rambo and Ogletree. Do we know if a UGA program rule has taken effect, so that Richt has no choice but to suspend them for four games? Or is there some discretion. I would think that for them, having to watch the D give up three touchdowns on long drives to Buffalo would be punishment enough! I have agreed with most of the recent disciplinary actions, but we need those guys back on D now. There is no way around the fact that the Missouri game is huge. I mean, are we a legit force in the SEC, or not? And I have been in Richt’s corner throughout and continue to like him as our coach, especially every time another SEC coach does something embarrassing (e.g. Petrino). But he’s gotta win this game, period!
Unfortunately...
September 2nd, 2012
9:20 pm
…the kid only told the truth about UGA and the way they play – now stopping it is another deal altogether.
And, unfortunately, without the 4 suspended players on D I truly believe that UGA will have a difficult time slowing down the MO offense, as they could barely slow down UB, and MO is much faster all around – I l;ook for the game to be won by whoever gets the ball last – something like 48-45, but I have no idea who wins…

We played the Buffalo game like an NFL Preseason game. Our coaches absolutely showed

our opponent is overconfident. UGA has to jump on this team early and not let up. I think we are a better team the Missou hands down, the question is whether we play like it. Richt please let Rambo & Ogletree come back next week.

LB # 9 Alec Ogletree and FS #18 Bacarri Rambo are both in the hands of M. Richt and it will be very interesting to see how Richt handles this situation…. if he holds them out, he could end up shooting himself in the foot again….

This is how you get disrespected when you consistently come out and underachieve. Nobody talks about Ala. or LSU like that. Richt constantly defends the poor play of some players. If they are not getting the job done, put them on the bench. Connor Norman was a joke on the field and he needs to let Grantham decides who will be playing and why can’t UGA cover TE. This has been a problem over the past few years.

Few teams are as good as Alabama and LSU. When you win national titles, you get better recruiting and have more depth.

I’m sorry, but I’m not sold on South Carolina’s offense without Jeffery. They don’t have any receivers.

If Missouri beats Georgia, it will be because Georgia shot themselves in the foot with suspensions or because Murray turned the ball over too much. Missouri is NOWHERE close to being an elite team.

I’m as big a dawg fan as anyone on here, but to say that UGA was holding anything back against Buffalo it utter and total BS. Murray is the same ole Jekyll and Hyde QB he was last season. The D-Line was man handled by the Buffalo O-Line and the out side pass rush, what there was of it, was constantly over pursuing the QB and leaving gaping holes for the QB to run through. There was absolutely no inside push. Probably had something to do with Buffalo dominating our D-Line statement I made earlier. Where the he!! were the inside linebackers. They were playing so deep I couldn’t tell where the heck they were most of the time. Brandon Smith is not a D1 CB. Gurley and Marshall have earned the right to start at TB, so give them the starting nod. To early to judge the O-Line. WR’s were just average, the RB’s were pretty good,the QB not so much. The entire defense gets a failing grade. Punt coverage hasn’t improved any. At least the kick return defense looks to be better, probably because the kicker was sailing the ball into the endzone on all of his kickoffs. One things for sure. The dawgs will have there arses handed to them next week if they don’t get their heads out of their arses.

Other than Clemson like 8 years ago, I can’t think of a Richt team that opened the year guns blazing.
Last year Georgia lost to Boise. Then came out and lit it up against USCe. Had Aaron Murray not given them 17 points the outcome is probably different.
The key to the game is Murray. And well, unfortunately for Georgia, he blows every big game.
Jerry Seinfeld

Georgia seemed like they weren’t even trying to rush the passer yesterday, other than Jarvis Jones. It’s like the days of Willie Martinez. They didn’t blitz much at all and kept their linebackers way back to prevent the big play. Something tells me they will be much more aggressive against Missouri. I’m not going to give up on Murray. He’s got to get better when getting blitzed, but he’s had some really good games for us. If the running game helps him out, I think he can have a good game against Missouri’s defense, which isn’t exactly SEC-caliber.

He said one thing I liked is Murray didn’t have any turnovers, and Gurley was impressive. I can tell you he was clearly frustrated at the dropped passes. He said every time one of the receivers came over to the bench he would show them how to catch it at the top, but they just werent pulling it in. His mind is in a good place, he’s ready for missouri, and I have to believe they are going to get a pounding.

As a Tech fan, i hope Ga goes into mizzou next weekend and cleans this teams clock…Since when is a pro style offense “old man football”?. Talk about the arrogance of a program(player) that has barely been in the discussion on a national scene the last decade. I will say that Ga looked pretty bad against BU but I, unlike others that have stated a strategy to “hold back” or “hide” their plays, think it was the players thinking that they could just show up and win and therefore coming out flat. If Ga plays like they are capable, they beat up what used to be a nobody b12 team, nothing more, nothing less. With that being said UT looks like the team to beat in the east at this point..

We played with what we had Sat and we didn’t show our hand. Mizzou didn’t get any film on us and their coaches know it. A 19-year-old kid made an ignorant judgement and will probably eat every word. We used simple, off-tackle running plays and pitch-and-catch passing ones. The D played prevent all game long and we didn’t show our pass rush D hardly at all. Anyone who watched the game Sat and thinks that it was UGA football will be surprised this Sat. I think CMR played a little chess with Mizzou.

Because I think we could have 4 defensive starters out and maybe 5 , Georgia wins 38- 24. If we get Ogeltree, Mitchell or more back Georgia wins 38-17. Any win will be good news playing in Missouri and them trying to show they belong in the SEC. They also know we are co favorites to win the SEC east which they are in. One of the keys to the game will be if Murray can follow up his Buffalo play with no turnovers.

You practiced and trained in worse heat and humidity and Buffalo didn’t seem to have a problem with the heat and humidity so that my friend is a piss poor escuse! Wasn’t ready to commit to Gurley as the starting RB? WTF? He has no business being a head coach in the SEC! He is stealing money from the University for accepting a paycheck and being happy with halfass results. I have been saying since 2008 he was out of touch and he shouldn’t be the head coach of UGA and I will continue to say it.

Mike – I have to admit, Sheldon Richardson is a very good player. He was a highly rated recruit who shows more athleticism than most lineman. However, many people criticize his technique, and as you know he is coming off serious shoulder surgery. I suppose he could be a 1st round NFL pick, but right now they don’t predict him to go until well after the 2nd round. He’s gonna need a really good season to raise his draft stock that high, and his poor technique doesn’t indicate he can make that sort of jump. He wasn’t even all-big 12 last year. Is he the best Mizzou has to offer?

Frankly, the kid from Missouri is right about UGA. That was completely uninspired play the other day and after hearing all spring and summer about how hard everyone worked and ready to show how good they were, that was one piss-poor way to back it up. However, he is wrong about several teams in the SEC. He’ll find out all about execution when ‘Bama comes to town. Tennessee looks ready to play and South Carolina’s defense is pretty nasty. Maybe UGA will get there, but I doubt they will be ready this weekend. The Dawgs look like what has become a typical Richt team: completely unprepared to play high caliber football until mid-season. But I sincerely hope I’m wrong.

UGA played vanilla football against Buffalo and if Missouri wants to think that is all there is -good deal. It would be my guess that Bobo will use a pounding running game against Mo’s weak D and eat up the clock. Murray will burn their D backs when he wants to. The D tackle who made the moron statement about “old man” football will soon understand the value of keeping your mouth shut.

We are obviously overrated but Mr. Richardson’s big mouth is writing checks his team can’t cash. Not only will this be on Georgia’s bulletin board, it will also be on South Carolina’s, Bama’s, Florida’s and Tennessee’s bulletion board. He put all those teams on blast too. The SEC is a cruel, harsh and unforgiving place. He’ll find out soon enough.
This is slightly off topic but Bama looks pretty much unstoppable to me. We’re all playing for 2nd place, including the media darling USC Trojans. Anyone who thinks USC can hang with them needs to check themselves in to a mental institution. There is a dynasty in the making in Tuscaloosa.

We have had more talent than any team in the country but for some strange reason Mr Richt has neglect his rbs during his 11 yr tenor . It’s really simple coach – just run those boys the way Vince Dooley ran HW. Heck, HW admitted that he didn’t even no the playbook when he was introduce to the Vols but did that stop Vince Dooley from playing him? At some point Mr Richt has to learn to compromise in order to reach the top.

It’s interesting for a player to say that if they execute their scheme that nobody in the SEC can stop them when they lost 5 games last year – so, are we to assume their conference is tougher than the SEC? Nah…their defense is porus – if we run the ball and control the clock and play fundamental “old man” football this game will be ugly for Mizzou. Still, last weeks underwhelming performance does not ease the apprehension. We can only hope that the defense and offense were being throttled back so as to not reveal anything special. By the way , that little wide receiver pass was interesting…almost worked. Unfortunately, that is probably Bobo’s idea of expanding the offense. Let’s hope for a good showing on the road.

The “Spread Offense” ain’t that new – Spurrier ran his version of it 20+ years ago.
As far as it being a “gimmick,” some mighty big games (and championships) have been won with various versions of it.
The NFL would use it also, if not for the hash marks being so much closer together.

The offense and defense looked vanilla, for a reason. We don’t want mizzou to see what’s coming. If they want to laugh, laugh at the gators who squeaked by bowling green. It’s been said the offense finally knows the whole play book, but the frosh backs don’t know all. The defense is probably the same way. As long as out DB’s do good, and our front 7 I am sure will look more hungry than buffalo, then we should be ok. They were using a lot of toss’s straight back at the TB Saturday and I haven’t seen thay done in a while, but that’s all mizzou will have film for with the new guys back there.

We found out that a smart coach with a gameplan can equalize those deficits. I hope Richt has a plan for Mizzou, because our D, without all those starters just ain’t that great – and those of you who held your breath last Saturday when Bull’s QB tucked the ball and took off, James Franklin is a damn good QB – bigger and faster, and a MUCH better passer and runner than who was on our field.
Mizzou will score a lot more on our D than if we had all those starters, probably 30+ points. It may be a version of our SC game last season.

Nobody has their panties in a wad. We just think your team, who seem pretty high on themselves coming off a big victory over juggernaut Southeastern Louisiana, doesn’t really know what its in for.

prefferredduck, I’ll admit that you’re probably right about our offense last Saturday being “vanilla.” But I think Todd Grantham would want a shutout every week if he could get it.
I think he is so shorthanded, especially now with M Mitchell out, that what we saw last week is what we’re gonna get for a few weeks. Mitchell is our best cover CB, and Mizzou throws it all over the field.
It’s terrible timing – having to face Mizzou’s offense so shorthanded – especially w/o Ogletree and Rambo – two future NFL playmakers.

Dawg fans dont get to upset with the comment. All the Mizzou boys have heard is how they are going to get beat, they do not match up, they are too slow. He was tired of hearing it. Mizzou has a very good football team and they have allot of athletes and speed and they have allot of grinders also. I assure you they have tremendous respect for Georgia as I do. They just want some back. I am one Mizzou fan from Georgia that is going back for the game and looking forward to it. I root for the Dawgs except against Mizzou. Good luck.

I think the key number is 17. Georgia should be able to hold Mizzou to 17 points. If they do, they win. The offensive line needs to hold up, but I think Georgia should be able to score 24 to 31 points. Mizzou’s defense is not daunting at all. Marlon Brown will be back for Saturday’s game and really i thing Georgias recievers are the strength to this team becuase Bennette is a BEAST blocking and catching. I just hope the defense can get the job done. I know they will give up some points but they have to limit MIzzou and get off to a lead to take the crowd out of the game. Final score UGA 31 Mizzou 17

As for who is eligible to play and who is not – I think it is a huge advantage for Coach Richt to be able to hide who may play if he is not in jail or suspended or is just incapacitated until the fairies stop dancing in his head. That way, the other team doesn’t know who they should prepare for. Sly and Crafty that Coach Richt.

“Despite Ken Malcome’s hand injury and Todd Gurley’s huge opening game, Richt wasn’t ready to publicly commit to the freshman Gurley as Georgia’s primary running back for this week. “Well, he’ll definitely get the ball, that’s for sure,” Richt said.”
Gurley will not be the starter if Malcome is able to play. Why? Because Gurley is clearly the best back. Does this make sense? No. Is this one of many reasons why the so-called 6th best team in the country looks like they don’t have a clue on the field? It totally confuses and distresses players when the best players don’t get the nod from the coaches. They talk to each other and ask questions like, “What the hell is going on around here?”
In addition, when a team from upstate NY comes down here and is better acclimated to the heat and humidity than we are something is dreadfully wrong. Now our own coach is saying we didn’t play well because it was too hot and humid! Think about that! Shouldn’t the weather Saturday have been to our advantage and to a team from upstate NY’s disadvantage?
We are in deep trouble.

Well, here we are again, the expectations sky high and the inevitable comparisons to Alabama and poor first showing that’s typical of Georgia teams. To me less bright spots than the opener last year and last year we lost a couple, if that had been a boise or anybody decent we would have a loss. This Missouri team can beat us with our secondary having missing pieces we could be in for a barnfight. Obviously Gurley and I believe Marshall will be stars. We should have Marlon Brown back and he could easily be a star if Murray and the o- line have consistency. O line will be an issue all year I’m afraid. Defense missing half its players will surely be much better. You look at Alabama and you just say Wow, same team from last year. We have two potential great runners, they have 4 or 5. We have a shot, I thought Richt did his best job last year coaching them to the SECC , if he can do it again this year, we will have a chance at Bama.

Then of course there are the gaturs. It’s like Chris Berman says, that’s why they play the games. Dawg whisperer, I agree, Murray looks like he chugged three red bulls overthrowing a plethora of guys! When he makes adjustments throwing the ball (i.e. underthrowing) is when he gets in trouble, he will be doing that in practice this week, so some picks will probably happen in Missouri.

Just a bit more about ever having done “anything significant” on a football field. Mizzou owns road victories over the likes of Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame, USC, (Bear Bryant’s) Alabama — and 3/4 over Bob Devaney’s Nebraska teams, including two straight in Lincoln — all of which were played during those teams’ years of prominence. More recently, as another example, we defeated “Big Game” Bob’s Okies for the viewing pleasure of ESPN’s Game Day crowd. In our last Cotton Bowl, we destroyed Arkansas with our gimmicky ground game. And if Steve Spurrier has ever defeated Mizzou, I can’t recall the occasion. I’m not puffing up with regard to this Saturday, which figures to be a close game. I’m just saying that Mizzou on a football field is at least significant. Go “o-fer” in the SEC? Go ahead and bet on it, chum.

The Mizzou is right on his assessment of Georgia’s team… There games are horribly hard to watch and what he meant about Georgia’s games being old man football is that it’s coached very conservatively.. On the other hand, Bama, LSU and Florida, Auburn and Florida when Meyers was there are very wide open in their play calling and I think this is the reason why these teams have won championships! Georgia either needs to open up their playbook more or get an aggressive coach because you guys have beasts of athletes than can be just as good if not better than Bama and LSU….

We hope thousands of Dawg fans make it to Columbia for the game. Y’all will be welcome by friendly fans. And while we hope Mizzou wins, we hope y’all enjoy your time here. M-I-Z! S-E-C!!

Yes – USC puts lots of scrubs in the NFL. Add to those 3 guys (1 of whom has been a starting QB in the NFl for the best part of a decade) – Matt Cassell (starting QB), Mark Sanchez (starting QB), Troy Palomalu (former NFL defensive player of the year), Clay Matthews (former NFL defensive player of the year.

Richardson said they could’ve played Alabama (I guess they could’ve played the Patriots for that matter) this past Saturday.
Factual Note: “Mizzou” was 8-5 last year overall and 5-4 in their conference. The “student athlete” obviously can’t claim mathematics as part of his curriculum during his junior college stint at College of the Sequoias (huh?) as Alabama’s record was, I believe, somewhat better than 8-5.

Franklin is going to be tough to nail down, folks. He is built like a fast SEC outside linebacker, but he throws well, too. When a QB runs for ~1000 and throws for almost 3000, you had best look out. We are going to need a great game to win in Columbia, and to throw one of our favorite trolls a bone (T roll)–our O line is going to have to grow up fast and develop an attitude or we are going to struggle. I saw people getting around almost every one of them on three man pass rushes Saturday! The run blocking looked better to me. They are brand new, but they need to see the field as something they need to take over, not just block on. Go Dawgs.

I understood the thoughts behind Richardson comments, but felt it was a little out of line. Although SEla and Buffalo were potentially strong competitors, these games like this of Tier two and three teams against Tier one conference teams are normally blowout walk overs. Georgia didn’t salt their game away until the third quarter wereas Mizzou had the game from Quarter 1. But, if I was pinckel, I would have players concentrate on Game ahead, plenty of time to gloat after bowl games are all completed.

Hey Tide Roll, I was very disappointed that they didn’t recruit Anthony Jennings. Mr Richt needed a dual threat qb not a pro style qb because our OL doesn’t pass protect very well in his system.
When you see Todd Gurley rush for 7 yards on 1st down, Aaron Murray will sling it down field on 2nd down. That’s one indication that they will lose to Mizzou on Saturday night. I seen it happen many times before. Just giving ya’ll a heads up.

I watched both games, and I will say I expect Mizzou to win. But Georgia came out, did execute, showed some defensive issues, but unveiled a passing game to complement their running game. Gurley offers speed that Georgia often lacked in past. I have always said and will say so again, the outcome comes down to Georgia power game against Mizzou’s speed. As of todays posting, I give mizzous speed the advantage. More importantly, Mizzou exited game with no major injuries.

If we beat Missouri it will be a great hard fought game. Georgia does not take Missouri for granted. They have enough speed to play in the SEC. Richardson makes a point to say that they have played as good of team in the Big 12 and he is right. BUT
Missouri plays 2 sometime 3 really hard teams in a year. What Missouri will find is that out of 13 games in a year being in the SEC they will have to play 5 or 6 really hard teams. It is much harder to get up for and win a game when you have to play 6 really hard games . Depth is everything in the SEC. Right now there is only 2 teams that you don’t have to worry about playing in the SEC. Mississippi and Kentucky. Tennessee, Auburn and Vanderbilt can beat anybody if they are at full speed but they only need 1 or 2 of their play makers out and they become a lot easier.
Missouri will understand why it is so hard in the SEC at the end of the Season.

Missouri doesn’t need to have players going and running their mouths like this, but I do kind of see Sheldon’s point. Missouri is a legitimate contender in the East. With Georgia’s weak showing against the Buffalo QB, I have no doubt that James Franklin will have a good game against them, both running and throwing the football. Whether or not that translates into a win is another story. And South Carolina and Florida neither one impressed me week 1 either. My previous prediction of Missouri going 7-5 is looking right now as if it could be more like 9-3 or 10-2.

I remember watching a Mizzouri-Kansas game in a nonstop downpour at Columbia. What was once grass quickly turned into a mudhole. After the few snaps, you couldn’t tell which team was which — everybody was mud brown from head to toe! Mizzou won, 5-3. We have new artificial turf now, so no mud this Saturday, no confusing the two unis, and (I’m betting) no 5-3 final score. Could be a real classic! I’m excited! Trouble is, I’m sitting in a log cabin on an island in an Ontario lake, with Canadian satellite TV that does not provide ESPN2. If I want to watch this game, I’ll have to drive down across the border and spend Saturday night at a motel. Dang!

Richardson’s comment cannot be used out of context. It would be like someone taking one word in your sentence and using it in any other sentence and calling it your’s. He compared Georgia to the Big 10, a good league (but old men, heck they call themselves legends). It’s not disrespectful to consider your tactics as more creative or modern than someone elses. Either one can be more effective on a given day. It’s not disrepectful to the league to remind folks that your team was ranked #1 in the nation in the last few years, (2007), when Missouri had a similiar qb Chase Daniels. What is desrespectful is for sportswriters around the SEC to name 25 top players in the SEC and not name a single Missouri player,…or for sports broadcasters to barely mention your opening game,….or for coaches polls to leave your team out of the top 25 while putting texas 10 places above you in the rankings after you beat them not allowing a single touchdown just 8 months ago. Missouri has been backed into a position of standing up for themselves by the media (and a very small percent of less informed but vocal sec fans). Having said that I would quickly write that most Georgia fans are respectful and informed. You will be welcomed respectfully in Columbia this weekend. Just be preparred to help us celebrate our first win in the SEC, IF we happen to be the best team next Saturday. If Georgia is the best team and wins the east we will be you biggest supporter in the SEC championship game.

That’s why Georgia’s recent offenses are so lame, soft and docile just like it’s head coach. Richt’s offense is antiquated, old, and currently obsolete. Georgia will never win the SEC or National title under no killer instinct Richt from this point on. He will be gone in the next 2 or 3 years.

My main criticism of Bobo ’s play calling is he know’s Murray can not throw a screen pass because of his is too short. He also has problems throwing the short slant because of the same problem. Murray can only throw two type passes: Quick throw to the side line , which is high risk because the other team could intercept and run it back for a touchdown or the deep throw , WHICH IS ALL OR NOTHING.
Because of Murray’s limitation passing the ball I wish we would run the ball at least 35 to 40 times a game since we now have plenty of capable Tailback’s. This would also run out the clock on long drives which would keep the defense from being on the field all day.
Stephen A. Dogg: Richt=Al Davis
September 3rd, 2012
4:05 pm
Georgia does play outdated football under Mark Richt. In fact Richt reminds me of a legendary pro football icon.
Al Davis of the Oakland Raiders won 3 NFL championships in the late 70s and mid 80s. Mark Richt as a OC at FSU won a couple of national titles rings in the 90s.
Keeping Mark Richt around as head coach at Georgia is equal to when the Oakland Raiders kept Al Davis in charge after the mid 80s. Davis mandated every coach that he hired run offensive plays out of his 60s and 70s playbook. Coaches would do what Davis said and when the outdated play-calling didn’t work and Oakland lost more than it won, Davis would scape-goat the coaches and fire them to keep himself in charge. The Raiders now are a mediocre after thought in pro football and haven’t won the Super Bowl since 1983. The same can be said for mediocre SEC has been Georgia who hasn’t won the national title since 1980. Richt has been around for 12 of the 32 year national championship drought at UGA, but that’s still a long time. And Richt has failed to update his FSU hey-day playbook since his arrival in Athens back in 2001. He needs to do as Spurrier did at S.Carolina, and scrap his ACC pass-first offense for an updated SEC ground-based balanced attack. Saban destroyed Michigan with strong balanced offensive attack and strong attacking defense.
The Raiders just began the process of change after Davis died last year. Sadly only his death would allow Oakland the opportunity to try something new. Georgia will change only after Richt is gone and takes his outdated 90s FSU-ACC offense and talent wasting, 80s good ol’ boy, Smokie and the Bandit philosophy with him. Sadly Richt’s impending removal is the only way to move the stagnate Georgia football program forward. Richt had a chance to overhaul his outdated offense, but he kept the faith in it and it failed him. We cannot continue to allow Richt to fail at Georgia.

Mizzou will whip UGA, because somethings will never change. It’s not the team; it’s the program. UGA relies on superior athletes to beat lesser teams and hopes for breaks to beat the better ones. The breaks haven’t been coming. MO will get an early lead from the emotion and fan support. UGA will get close, but will wither when they realize that pure athleticism won’t win. Classic UGA. Murray has never won a big game against a talented foe. This is a big game. Remember Spurrier’s comments about counting on UGA having players on suspension. This is the SC game with MO instead. It’s just the way things are at UGA, and why anyone would expect this year to be different from the last few is beyond me. We’ll win more than we lose, but we’ll lose the ones that count.

That the UGA coordinator hasnt coached against and beat the spread offense many times? He must think is comments are not going to put is QB in danger Sat night? He must not think that every UGA DL, LB and DB will not have MUCH MORE RESOLVE AND INTENSITY RUSHING the QB and hitting thier WR’s and RB’S. I would not be surprised of big mouth does NOT make it through the game….
Another point is….you cant stop ANY team that executes like it should. That is where his problem comes in…he has got a defense that is NOT GOING TO LET THEIR OFFENSE EXECUTE WELL AND THAT IS THE CASE FOR EVERYBODY! THIS GUY ISNT TOO BRIGHT IS HE? The SPREAD has been around for a LOOOOONG time. UGA faced the BEST ever from Spurrier at Florida and Tebow under Meyer. This guy not only has a defense getting in the way of their execution, but has an oppostion that might be the best he has EVER faced of defense come Sat night and the offense isnt too shabby either…
Thank you so much for the motivation Sheldon Richardson. I hope you dont have any plans for after the game Sat….you certainly will not be up to them.

Yeah…this was JUST the kind of EXTRA incentive UGA needed. His coaches must have wanted to take him out behind the wood shed and may. I dont expect to hear too much from big mouth the rest of this season. The operative word in his opinion was “IF” they execute. I think UGA has some defensive players that might hinder that exectution slightly…. and they have to stop UGA so the question becomes….whose got the better defense? UGA is without several starters on defense so there will be NO excuses for Sheldon after the game…I would hate to be him come Saturday night….He is going to GET some old man football alright and good!

I’m all Dawg but I worry that they aren’t, in fact, man enough. Does anyone really think that the dawgs could do what VT did last night? Love em, just don’t see that relentless will to win in them.
Toggling to what the MU kid said, as inelegant as it was, seems to me that what he was trying to say is that the Dawgs just don’t go in for the kill. That’s gotta change or this year’ll be a rewind of last year.

I wonder if Richt has ever tried to imitate Bing Crosby.

Was this player off by saying what he did? I don’t think so, hopefully this fires up the team. Personally, that defense has a lot to get tightened up inside of a week. I’m just hoping that huge win over SE La. gave them the big heads and mediocre victory the Dawgs had over Buffalo woke them up.
I’d be lying if I was not nervous as a cat on a tin roof about Saturday night. However, there was a huge difference in the way the Dawgs played last year between the 1st and second game. Let’s hope there is that big difference again with the exception of a victory instead of a defeat. Bring it Home!
Go Dawgs!

Looking forward to a great game on Saturday! Sheldon is a big teddy bear that can rip your head off. He actually isn’t a jerk as many have implied. He sticks his foot in his mouth and is super passionate about playing football. He will be playing on Sundays. I guarantee you he ran a few ( dozen) extra drills for his public comment….Coach Pinkel despises these comments. So lighten up…it’s all in fun if you actually know Shelon. He’s a good kid that provided bulletin board material and now he has to put his money where his mouth is. Should be fun and welcome to Columbia to those visiting. You will enjoy the atmosphere.

So Mizzou’s entering the league with some confidence. Looks like it’s up to us to give them a proper introduction.

How many players do we get back this week from suspension? I know Rambo and Ogletree are most likely out. Commings is out two games. Does Chase Vasser come back? Everyone is talking about us missing five defensive players last Saturday as an excuse. But aren’t we still missing those same players this week against Mizzou?

Richardson needs to study game film, watch jarvis jones so he can see how old man football in the SEC is supposed to be played.
