Georgia’s defense no match for Gamecocks
(Updated 11:50 p.m.)
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Remember the Georgia defense that ranked among the nation’s top five last season and expected to be even better this season?
It once again was nowhere to be found Saturday night.
The Bulldogs’ defense ranked an inexplicable 55th among FBS teams in yards allowed through this season’s first five games and looked even worse in Game 6, a 35-7 loss to South Carolina in Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday night.
The Georgia defense was porous on South Carolina’s first two possessions, allowing touchdown drives of 76 and 69 yards that gave the Gamecocks a 14-0 lead and set the tone for what was to be a long night for the Bulldogs. A special-teams touchdown –- a 70-yard punt return — stretched South Carolina’s lead to 21-0 with 5:18 still to play in the first quarter.
“We said we were going to fight back,” cornerback Sanders Commings said, “and unfortunately we couldn’t tonight.”
Any remote chance of Georgia getting back into the game seemed to slip away in the third quarter when the defense was burned on a long pass to the 1-yard line, setting up a score that gave the Gamecocks a 28-0 lead.
By the long night’s end, Georgia’s defense had allowed 392 yards. The Gamecocks ran for 230, including 109 on 24 carries by tailback Marcus Lattimore and 78 on 14 carries by quarterback Connor Shaw. Shaw, the dual-threat quarterback from Flowery Branch, threw only 10 passes but completed six of them for 162 yards, an average of 27 yards per completion.
“We just made a lot of bonehead mistakes,” Commings said. “Giving up big plays, jumping offsides — we just can’t do things like that and win ballgames. … It was just lack of focus on our part. When that happens, it’s easy for a team to make a big play, and that’s what they did.”
On South Carolina’s first possession, South Carolina receivers twice got behind Georgia safety Bacarri Rambo for long pass plays –- 42 yards from Shaw to Damiere Byrd and 20 yards from Shaw to Bruce Ellington for the touchdown. Rambo recovered on the first to the point of almost intercepting the pass, but Byrd took it out of his hands.
On the Gamecocks’ second possession, the Georgia defense yielded a methodical 11-play drive that included a 16-yard pass from Shaw to Lattimore and a 14-yard touchdown throw from Shaw to wide-open tight end Rory Anderson.
“We gave up two touchdowns right off the bat on explosive plays. You can’t do that,” Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said. “We had a chance to make a play there [on the 42-yard pass to Byrd]. We didn’t. Give them credit. We dug ourselves a hole.”
Another lowlight for the defense: South Carolina’s D.L. Moore ran past Commings in the third quarter and caught a 62-yard pass from Shaw, going down at the 1-yard line. Lattimore scored on the next play.
“Us losing like this, I definitely don’t think they’re that many points better than us,” Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones said. “We could have executed better, and we could have done a lot of things better than we did. We can’t make excuses. It is what it is. They played well. They executed. They made plays.”
Said Grantham: “It’s tough when these things happen, but the thing you’ve got to do is, you’ve got to take an evaluation of yourself and say, ‘What have I got to do as a player and a coach to get better and work through it and make sure that we improve so that when we play in two weeks we’re a much better football team?”

I have been a supporter of MR but it’s time for a change, he cannot get a team ready for the big one, he shows no emotion, and this team was not prepared to play, this defense played undisciplined and the offense played scared, something had got to change. If it is me I am calling Jon Gruden, he has something Georgia needs a spark and a fire for the game.

When we lined up in a power formation, we ran well… When we had a fullback and tight end in the game, we controlled the line of scrimmage enough… But 75% of our running plays were from the shotgun… We ran 4 plays from the 2 yard line out of the shotgun… That’s weak… Merritt hall and Lynch blocking and Gurley could get in every time from the 2…. You can’t run outta the shotgun against top defenses.. You must power the football… Exert your will… Bama powers it and plays a lot of 7 on the line of scrimmage inside and gets 1 on 1 on the outside… The bang it in in the red zone… Control the clock… Shorten the game… Our athletes are there but the formations don’t give them a chance… So frustrating… 4 plays from the 2 when we have Gurley… Block 2 TE, full back and power that thing in and break them… Every time we lined up shotgun spread, the SC defensive coordinator smiled… We could have run power… We did when we tried it but we didn’t stay with it… Florida ran 25 plays in a row on the ground with power formations today… How can you only put 5 on the line against them? Unbelievable

5 on the line of scrimmage… ? Seriously? Double both ends with 2 tight ends… Use the full back… Power running… Hershel would suck if he had to run against the pass rush out of the shotgun… Jesus…. I remember when Georgia ran the power I… our backs run 5 blockers on 7 defenders and they’re 5 yards deep on a slow developing bs read/draw lucky to get the line of scrimmage… Bs… I’ve never been more pissed at the coaches

Richt teams have no toughness. Never have, never will. He is simply too soft of a coach. McGarity should let the season play out, then fire every coach in December, then make a call to Kirby Smart. He has had to learn a lot from Nick Saban over the years, and Saban’s teams are tough, not a bunch marshmellows.

At last, I bow to the naysayers. Georgia has not, can not and will not beat a ranked team. CMR has superior athletes but loses to inferior teams. We are mid SEC tier and that is what it is. And tonight our D QUIT!!! Shame on them. But at least CMR kept his hair hand combed and his nostrils clean…DISGUSTING!
Oh, and the D quit while the O did not even show up. When does Brice Ramsey arrive on campus, next game?

Ga. has good skill people, but in the trenches we are terrible. I watched several of our Def. Lineman and they got pushed around all night long. Weight does not equal strength. Our Offensive lineman are not only slow, but weak as well. You’d never know they spent a second in the weight room.

The team is undisiplined because Mark is undisiplined. He wasn’t disiplined at FSU and he isn’t disiplined now. And on top of all this, he is just not the smartest guy or coach in the world. We have Georgia coaches at Florida and at Alabama, but not at Georgia. Something is wrong! He’s a nice guy who needs to be coaching at Duke.

I mean, you don’t ask Kenarious Gates or anyone else to block Clowney 1 on 1….. Or the other end, devin TAYLOR… Did you not read the scouting report? Could you have put Jay Rome and Kenarious Gates double teaming and frustrating Clowney all night? Could you not have employed Arthur Lynch on every down on the right side doubling taylor with the right tackle? A Full back to help with the run blocking? We’d rather run when we are outmanned and ask our backs to do everything on their own…. Could you not just put 2 Wide receivers out there one on one…. One on each end, you know, split ends? You know, like the #1 team in the country… South Carolina lined up to outman and overmatch us and we never realized the adjustment… We did for like 3 plays with lynch and Hall in the game and then we went right back shotgun on the frickin goal line….? 2 TE breaking down the middle after blocking? We have lost all the best parts of our offense… Those who love old school georgia football are sad to see such a pitiful gameplan on offense… To continually allow your line to be outnumbered and keep calling plays that you can’t block is ridiculous… When we had power formations(rarely). Gurley got 7-10 yds… But we wanted to go shotgun 4 plays in a row from the frickin 2 yd line…

Boo wouldnt have done sh@$ on the shotgun draw…. He ran well because of effort; but by that point he was running behind a full back and 2 tight ends out of the I formation… We shoulda done that from the 2, 4 times in a row in the first half….. Larry Munson would hate this team because he would never get to say, ‘Dawgs in the I’. Tailback U aint shotgun all night… Why not take pressure off the offensive line with TE’s and take advantage of premium backs…. Would’ve liked to see Marshall run behind lynch and hall.. What about a double TE formation with lynch and Rome and Hall FB… Those freshman would’ve got loose… Terrible play calling.. Pass happy bs bobo richt crapola…. You have to play power football… Where is grown man football… Mano e mano.. If u win congrats… SEC football is war… Dawgs try too much finesse… Too cute… =as@ whoopin… I’m so pissed right now I could lose it

I disagree. They held SCAR to 14 points from the 1st quarter to midway through the 3rd. They had 6 or 7 stops in a row. The offense couldn’t even get a 1st down after those stops.

If you can’t block them with 5 or 6(RB), you better try 7 or 8…. After 1 series, it was obvious that Gates couldn’t block Clowney…. And the other tackle couldn’t block Taylor.. But Georgia coaches did not give the tackles help except very briefly… We had 4 wideouts and 5 lineman getting manhandled… Did I mention I am slightly upset? Gurley and No blockers… Unreal

It’s one thing to lose – I never expected CMR to beat a top 10 team, let alone the OBC, but to quit amidst adversity is truly pathetic. Teams are a reflection of their coach , who has no fire in his belly to get his guys to ‘man up.’ With all our talent , we can’t compete against ranked teams , which is a pitiful reflection of inept coaching. I have supported CMR since he arrived in Athens, but now I agree with the naysayers- we have gone as far as we’re gonna go with Richt. It’s time to bite the bullet and start over with a new coaching staff who gets the most , not the least, out of his players.

Outer Banks: It’s like they had no idea that Clowney was going to be a factor in the game. No adjustment once they saw he was dominating #72. The entire team looked totally unprepared.
I know it’s a small complaint in a complete debacle but why did we sent out our fair catch punt returner at the end of the 1st half. We had a shot to return one into FG range and maybe even better and we sent out the white guy to fair catch the ball with 10 yards separation. It made no sense.

Totally agree with outer banks. That was the worst play selection and game plan. Put the power to one side of the line and let your big backs pound them. Carolina is good on D due their speed and pass rush. Why do you line up your back so deep to get into the running lane. All four of those plays inside the five were the mometnum killer for the O. Amazed where Bobo goes. Sends a 180 pound receiver over the middle. Note the receiver had two guys on him. Had a lineman within two yards who watched rather than pushed the tacklers and receiver into the end zone.
Look Dawg fans…you have to be able to run the ball in the SEC. CMR never ever understands that. He and his offensive staff do not recruit enough O lineman. Recruit some D lineman from high school and convert them if the talent pool is down. But Georgia has to do a better job of recruiting O lineman…and I mean some studs who can come of the line with their feet. Georgia has been the worst blocking team in the SEC for about 4 -5 years. Watch their damn pad level.
Not one damn time did Bobo get Carolina to reset their box. Man all night against the O and it worked. We went zone of D and they torched us for big plays. Second game back for Rambo and Ogletree and it showed.

I’ve had it and can no longer stomach Mark Richt. I’ve been backing him the whole time he has been at UGA. No more. The dawgs have been playing like a bunch of pansies. The only reason they’ve even won a game this season is because they were way more talented than the other teams. South Carolina show them just how good they really were. Which is not really that good at all. South Carolina punched them in the mouth from the get go and they folded like a tent in the category 5 hurricane. I hope the dawg player’s are feeling sick today. They should. They just got the crap punked out of their over rated arses. Jenkins a first round draft choice? Yell right. Only if you are drafting marshmallows. What has happened to Jarvis. Is he being tripled teamed. Dawgs will lose at least 2 if not more games this season. Florida is a loss. Mississippi State is a loss. He!! with that pathetic defense, GA. Tech may be able to out slug them. Auburn, Ole Miss, Kentucky and even Ga. Southern are now thinking that they also have a punchers chance against the much weaker than advertised dawgs. The only reason the entire coaching staff should be even showing up for school Monday morning is to collect their severance pay. Fire the dang lot of them.

Better to let Mark Richt know now that his service’s would be no longer needed at the end of the season and start looking for a head coach now instead of at the end of the year. That way you could give the new head coach time to pursade the high school kids to stay committed or do what ever they are going to do. Do you think for one second that Langley is considering UGA any longer? Wouldn’t be a damn bit suprised if the WR committed to BGA from SC flips. Hell I would.

Grantham is doing as well as any DC can do in a CMR program.
You can’t expect a defense under an 85 scholarship limit (which UGA is well under) to hold a very physical team forever.
The defense started shaky but held S. Car for majority of the 2nd and 3rd qtr forcing 3 3 and outs.
The offense had 2 turnovers. 3 3 and outs, 1 possession with a single 1st down and then an 80 yard drive with no points in the 1st half.
Where were Bobo’s big plays? The great OL opening holes? It was a shut out until late in the game.
1 Loss and screaming to get fired?
This isn’t just a DC, OC or special teams break down. ESPN published the stats against teams ranked at the yr end: 2-14 against all teams 0-9 against SECs team since ‘08? This is not a 1 year trend. Bobo and special teams deserve just as much blame, if not more.
I do expect UGA to only drop 1 more game this year (UF) but I do not see the program improving past this. The team is at about the same level this year as last, but 2 of the 3 best teams are in the East not West last they were last year 10-2 this year will likely be 3rd in the East, Bama likely wins the west with 1 loss at most.

Placing UGA at a debated 4th best in the SEC. Last year Bama and LSU were the top 2, Arky was 3rd best in many people’s opinions, placing UGA 4th.

Every year Georgia thinks its going to win every game. No one except Alabama does that. Your in a very strong conference. The fans go nuts when lose one game and they want to fire everybody…ridiculous.
I’m a Tech fan and its always a hoot to me to see all the hype about Georgia’s football team. You should have paid attention to the powder puff schedule you played before the S.C. Playing patsies really doesn’t help make you a better football team. Gets the fans all hyped up….next thing you know all the idiot fans that don’t know a football from a beer can think your going to win the national championship. Start beating Alabama …then you will have a chance at winning championships.
Beating Tech isn’t that big of a deal anymore. They don’t get near the talent that Georgia does…you should always be able to beat a team with less talented players. I have a funny feeling that this isn’t going to be the only game you lose this year.

I tried to tell you guys all off season not to get too hopeful about your awesome coordinator that averaged 39 pts to ranked teams
But you just wanted to blame it on the offense.
Then, you thought you had an awesome offense.
32 years boys!
