Jarvis Jones only Bulldog to make Coaches’ first-team All-SEC
Following is UGA’s news release on six Georgia players being named to the Coaches’ All-SEC team on Tuesday. Junior outside linebacker Jarvis Jones, who was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Year by The AP on Monday, was the only Bulldog named to the first team. . . .
ATHENS — Six members of the Georgia football team were voted to the All-SEC Coaches’ Team, according to announcement by the league office on Tuesday.
Junior linebacker Jarvis Jones was named to the first team, while junior guard Chris Burnette, freshman tailback Todd Gurley, senior nose guard John Jenkins, junior linebacker Alec Ogletree and senior free safety Bacarri Rambo were named to the second team.
Jones has recorded 77 tackles this season, including 22.5 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks, one interception, seven forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 11 games. Jones currently leads the NCAA in forced fumbles per game and tackles for loss per game, and he is one tackle for loss shy of David Pollack’s single season school record.
Gurley has rushed for 1,260 yards and 16 touchdowns this season, becoming just the second true freshman in Georgia history to rush for 1,000 yards. He currently ranks second in the SEC and first among tailbacks with 96.9 yards rushing per game.
Burnette has helped pave the way for 184.2 rushing yards per game for the Bulldogs and the SEC’s second-leading rusher in Gurley. He also helped quarterback Aaron Murray rank in the top-five in the SEC in both total offense and passing yards per game.
Jenkins has accumulated 50 tackles this season, including 17 in Georgia’s last two games against Georgia Tech and Alabama. He has registered two tackles for loss and a fumble recovery to go along with 15 quarterback pressures.
Ogletree leads the Georgia defense with 98 tackles in just nine games. He has been the Bulldogs’ leading tackler in the last five games, including a career-high 15 stops against Georgia Tech on Nov 24. Ogletree also has 8.5 tackles for loss, an interception, fumble recovery and returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown in the SEC Championship Game.
Rambo leads the team with three interceptions in nine games this season and has 16 for his career, which is tied for the most in UGA history. He is ranked second on the team with three forced fumbles to go along with 67 tackles.
The SEC individual award winners will be released on Wednesday and the SEC All-Freshman Team will be announced on Thursday.
Georgia (11-2) will face Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl in Orlando, Fla., Jan. 1 at 1 p.m. ET.

Seems like when you have a losing record versus good competition, you should not make any ALL STAR team.
Only UGA fans are apparently impressed with Murray.

Maybe Aaron Murray has finally shaken the “big game jitters”? He should come back for another year if he wants a chance at being drafted high. Even if he does come back, Richt should find every opportunity to get the backup QB(s) some playing time next year, rather than padding Murray’s stats against creampuff teams.

QB in the SEC has ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT WINNING, not high flying, circus act, empty yards.
The A&M QB and the Alabama QB earned ALL SEC for obvious reasons. Johnny Football s up for the Heisman and McCarron WON the SEC.
Murray? He has done noting of merit, while at UGA, beyond TDs and yards vs cupcakes. Hs list of accomplishments over three years s no reason to make him ALL SEC this year, we lost our TWO biggest games and in one,Murray was horrific.

Stats are for geeks. Wins garner recognition. I don’t care if Murry re-writes every passing record in UGA history and spends all his free time “watching tape” as we always hear. He doesn’t WIN when the stakes are high. He’ll be a solid coach one day. Agree with his omission from All-SEC teams.
David Greene didn’t set a lot of records…except for WINS!!! See his resume and you’ll see what is most important to SEC coaches…and presumably fans

As long as the SEC Championship game is played in ATLANTA, and if UGA is in it, they have home field advantage. Don’t argue ticket amounts, just look around at the facility, outside the dome, and the entire city itself, it’s “dressed” in red and black. I was there and was dressed in my R&B too. It was apparent that the Tide rolled into Atlanta and won on the road. Oh-I’m a eighth gen Atlanta boy, a UGA alum, and my first family member graduated from UGA in the late 1800’s so I know of which I speak. SEC ball rules, all the other drools.

Oh, and by the way…Murray is a great QB, but Manziel beat Alabama and McCarron beat UGA. By sound logic, even though Murray is great, he still finishes third. If Murray had beaten Bama at the end, who knows?!

I don’t think an SEC coach could look anyone in the eye and honestly say they wouldn’t take Gurley as their primary back out of all SEC RBs this season. Zander Ogletree could have racked up 200 yards vs the Dawgs in the SEC title game with the holes that were opened up for Lacy and Yeldon by their O-line.
Gurley’s season was WAY more impressive than that of Crowells last season…unlucky for TG that Johnny Football happens to be a freshman and he’ll be without Freshman of the Year hardware.

It is way too early to talk about next year, but the SEC East will be in great shape if all of the players eligible to return at their schools do return. UF, UGA, SC, LSU,Bama and possibly Vandy will all be loaded if that happens.
It was a great season. Merry Christmas to all and good luck to all SEC Teams in their respective Bowl Games.

Before becoming an expert on the Florida running back…..maybe learn how to spell his name.
GILL…..IS…..LEE…….Gillislee. And he was…..with no doubt…..the most important offensive player on the Florida Gators this year….and he became the first 1,000 plus RB in many years for the Gators.
Is he as gifted as Gurley. NO. But he more than deserves the recognition he is gettting this year. He is also going to be a good pro. I hope the Falcons draft him. Not only is he a very good runner….he can really block…..and he catches the ball well out of the backfield…..and I think the coaches recognized all that about him.

While people are bemoaning the Murray omission and criticizing his play, what about the elephant in the room that no one really blames?: The defense. John Jenkins and Alec Ogletree are on the All SEC team and their play was the greatest case of over-hype in the game today.
Granted they are good at times but in the two most important games of this season Jenkins was manhandled and frequently seen being pancaked by Bama lineman (not to mention Kwame Geathers,the other component of Georgia’s 700 pounds of nose tackle) and Ogletree was a bit player in the SEC championship, tackling Lacy and Yeldon AFTER they were 15-20 yards down the field a la Keith Brooking.
Georgia lost the game not because of a tipped pass but because of 37 minutes of possession time by the Tide, 512 total yards, 350 yards rushing on 51 carries and seven yards per bum-rush. Not apologizing for Murray or even Richt or Bobo but for all of the hoopla around Grantham he couldnt make a single adjustment to the juggernaut which was the Alabama offensive line. Murray is what he is, a good but not great QB but that defense has, in my opinion, two people who deserve it far less than Murray.

Coaches flubbed it too, but they got it half right. Lacey and Gurley are clearly the top running backs in the SEC. I don’t understand the appeal of Gillislee given his stats. Agree also that Manziel and McCarron are top two quarterbacks. Murray is good but McCarron has a higher rating and he’s playing the in national championship game. Murray is not. Manziel is well…Johnny Football.

To “KenThe Diesel”. Anyone, and I mean anyone who knows football– could see how much the UGS DL’s were being held–and no holding calls. A great rep. by the Bama OL is responsible for that.
As for Murray, he outplayed McCarron by a lot (103 yds. to be exact.) Had UGA spiked it at the end and scored– all you would hear would be about Aaron Murray. It was that close.

Hey, get mad and call me whatever you want, it still doesnt change the facts. I did play the game and I know offensive football regardless of what that illiterate moron says in the comments about trailer parks. I am a UGA grad and not so homerish as to distort the facts. Those numbers did not invent themselves and it you want to blame Richt or Murry or Bobo for that loss, be ignorant and continue.
I still say that neither of those guys played one second of defense so if you disagree that the loss should be put on a guy being paid 825,000 a year just for those games, for big time defense, championship defense, then YOU have no concept of football and the fact that you win at the line of scrimmage, where Jenkins and Geathers were frequently seen being pushed out of the frame or outright flattened. If you base who deserves All SEC on money games then Jenkins and Ogletree deserve accolades no more or less than Murray, who at least had the Dogs in position to win despite a defense leaking rushing yards like a sieve.

GANG, UGA lost the big game.
Murray is in a system that can showcase the QB. Murray OBPVERTHREW UGA’s #31 Conley very late. HE had beaten TWO Dbacs by two r three yards and was WIDE OPEN down around the Tide 30. Had Murry delivered the bal we would habpve scored and taken a much larger lead or won it. I believe this was one of the final three UGA possessions.
AM has NOT won anything odd consequence beyond hisvtwo wins over Florida. In 2010, his lousy play cost s the Florida game, In 2011 Murray’s LOUSY play cost us the SC game.
Aaron Murray is a wonderful kid and student. His career will, like Eric Zeir’s, will only be remembered for empty stats and NOTHING big, just like the Matt Stafford era.
In the SEC, great QBs manage the games and WIN THE SEC CG. Murray has not.
DJ SHockley and David Green will be, like Belue, remembered as game managers AND WINNERS OF THE SEC. Zeke Bratkowski, Johnny Rauch, Zeir, Murray, Stafford as gun slingers.
CASE CLOSED.
