Georgia has a ‘Marshall Plan’ for Nebraska in Capital One Bowl
Georgia's Keith Marshall breaks loose on a 62-yard touchdown run against Auburn. The freshman tailback has less yards rushing than Todd Gurley but led the Bulldogs in runs of more than 50 yards. (AJC photo by Brant Sanderlin)
ORLANDO, Fla. — After Todd Gurley ran for 1,260 yards this season – and 122 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries in the SEC Championship game – the tendency is to think that fellow freshman Keith Marshall is a less valuable back for Georgia at this stage in his young career.
Marshall had just two carries against Alabama. But offensive coordinator Mike Bobo insisted Saturday that Marshall remains more of a 1-B option to Gurley. Injuries and extenuating circumstances, he said, had more to do with Marshall’s reduced presence toward the end of the season than Gurley’s special talents.
“(Marshall) did not get as many touches in the Alabama game, but that’s just how the game went and how the other guy was running the ball,” Bobo said during a Capital One Bowl news conference Saturday at the Rosen Plaza Hotel. “But we’ve got a big plan for Keith in this game, and expect him to make plays and play well in this game. He’s running good.”
Marshall have fewer yards rushing than Gurley (723) and fewer overall carries (109 to 199). But he averaged more yards per carry (6.6 to 6.3) and had more runs of 50 or more yards (four to one).
Marshall was listed with a shoulder contusion heading into the SEC title game and he battled knee soreness the second half of the season. Bobo said the time off between the end of the season and bowl practices helped Marshall.
“He’ll be fresh and ready to go on Tuesday,” Bobo said.

This has to be a first P-Cola Dog.
Gurley and Marshall are an impressive duo. LSU has it’s own 4 headed monster in Hill, Ford, Ware and Hilliard and that’s after starting tailback Alfred Blue was lost early in the season.
Good luck again the ‘Huskers.

About 4 weeks to late for the Marshall impact. Bama managed to get both their backs into the game and UGA never even tried that night. I felt Marshall got tooled by Coach Bobo in Atlanta and his big plan for Marshall now is simply a makeup call.

I agree with Mcclenny_dawg. We need Gurley to be the “up the middle” power back, and Marshall to be the “outside blazer” back. Give Marshall a little space whether it be via a lateral, shuttle/screen pass, etc., and the end result could be just as effective as Gurley’s power running.

What is the fascination with this “outside in space run”, that has never ever worked? Marshall does his best work up the middle. The point is not how big he is, its how quick he is into the LBs before anybody can grab him.

I just hope the team doesn’t get over-hyped with the Wisconsin score and decide to coast. Stop the run and grind out first downs giving the defense a needed rest. Don’t worry about scoring too quickly, it wears the defense down putting them back on the field. Control the clock! I understand the Nebraska defense ranks about 96th. Bobo must be licking his chops! If that’s true, how in heck did they get to this bowl? Oh, I know, they must have seen UGA’s game films, especially vs. South Carolina.

Nebraska might be able to run the ball but they won’t be able to keep up with the Dawgs explosive O… We throw the ball 10x better than anybody that they have played and are way more balanced than any Big Ten offense they’ve seen. I expect the D to be better against the run… how we handle Martinez will be the difference. Georgia will put up points, the question will be whether it is a blowout or a shootout.

Great place to tailgate, great food, passionate fans, stadium earthquakes, etc. Florida on the other hand is as cool as a goiter. Gotta disagree with Moistdog about not rooting for rivals. Sometimes universities in the SEC are more alike than we’d care to admit.

TiDog… did you even read the article? Marshall was injured. He got a couple of carries and didn’t produce. I bet if we ran him later in the game and he didn’t produce you’d be saying that Bobo screwed up not going with Gurley. Jeez…

They should have mentioned his injuries before the Bama game instead of Bobo saying they were going to go with the hot back in Gurley. The two runs Marshall made were just up the middle poorly blocked…. I wonder how some of the back recruits feel about that kind of comment. This is not NFL Bobo needs to take care of his sarcastic comments. He will have a credibility weakness with recruits if he is not careful.

AltamahaDawg – Wisconsin ripped the Nebraska D on the edges… something that hardly ever works in the SEC. Our guys are as fast as Monte Ball and we throw the ball WAY better than any Big Ten team. We will try the edge if for no other reason than to spread them out. SEC defenses are way to fast to run outside against but obviously Nebraska has some speed deficiencies in their LB corps. Obviously they will try to reposition their LB’s to offset this… that creates other opportunities. Murray will check out of the play if they give him something juicier inside.

I would like to see Marshall play more in the slot while Gurley is in the backfield. I would have really wanted to see Marshall on the field more than Rhett McGowen. It would open the playbook up to more speed sweeps and screens if Marshall played more in the slot.

A bowl Game is nothing but DISTRACTIONS. In the old days the players didn’t have all the commitment when they arrived in the town. Sponsor Meet & Greet Meals, Children’s hospital visits and such Photo Ops. The Game is there but so are many other things to get in the players heads. Wait until the Playoffs start. The HOST cities & Sponsors will not have all this crap to make the players do because there will be no time for it. The Bowls will not like the playoffs I can tell you. The ROSE Parade will be a nothing event around the game. TV and far away fans will love the playoffs but the Host Cities and Old Bowl Sponsors will be MAD as Hell over the playoff in place of the BOWL Games. Just you wait and see.

There was the Chic-fil-A parade today in the ATL but if the playoffs are played back to back weeks on Sat the Bowl Stuff that makes the sponsors money and lets all the big wigs party will be gone. Just you wait and see. I bet the ROSE will pull out soon enough and want to have the Rose Bowl with the best match up it can get. I think the Sugar and NoLa will be wanting a BOWL PARTY game back and not just a weekend playoff game. I long week full of things to do for fans during the holidays makes these towns a lot of money that will go away with Playoff games in continuing weeks through the holidays. Just wait and SEE.

So BOOBOO says Marshall was hurt. Well if Gurley was so hot and doing so well, which he was by the way, why in the heck did BOOBOO abandon the run with that passing crap? Alabama ran because they HAD to, UGA shut down their passing attack!! Why did BOOBOO stop running the ball when it was working and had BAMA on their heels? Marshall not getting more touches is just another “lame” excuse by BOOBOO who can’t coach his way out of a paper bag!! He wastes more talent than any coach I have ever seen!!
It makes all the sense in the world to go recruit these highly talented 4 & 5 star recruits, only to have them ride the bench, ala Jay Rome in the 2nd half of the SECCG!! Everything was set up for Richt to FINALLY get his first NC as a head coach this year, with ND as the opponent and they BLEW IT!! As long as BOOBOO is the OC, UGA will NEVER win a NC until we get an OC who can call a game and USE the talent you have like they do at other programs!! It is beyind pathetic when you look across NFL rosters and see all the talent from UGA playing well, then wonder why didn’t they win more in college………non-coachiiiiing!!!

Bradley and Schultz will provide some insight when they write about UGA but this column seems to be little more than a PR puff piece. I would understand it if it were published in the Athens paper.
Cue the original hillbilly comments, keen observations about our coaching situation, insider analysis on the state of the UT football program, questions about why are you on a UGA blog, etc.

I dont know but it seems to me that Gurley came out of the gate alittle faster than Marshal did and thats why they kept him as their #1 RB but i think Marshall can make bigger plays than Gurley with bigger runs and he has more speed.
But what a blessing to have both at Georgia.
Marshall should get more carries but i didnt know he was injured.
Hang in there Keith and get well so you can play well because you have alot to look forward to in the near future.
Go out with a positive note to finish the season and beat Nebraska to let all these doubters see how good we are.

Moist Dawg, I pull for most other SEC teams, particularly ones that we played that season. When they win, it makes our BCS ranking improve, ie Vandy making a bowl game after we shellacked them – so I’m pullin for them in their game, UF going unbeaten other than their loss to us.
I always pull for LSU, because of the way they beat up on OOC teams, and Tech, no matter who they play, and I’m gonna pull for Bama to rout ND – I think we would have too.
SC is hard to pull for because of SOS, but I do anyway. Probably the only SEC team I haven’t pulled for lately is Auburn in 2010, for obvious reason.
I know this will “make you sick,” so get out the Pepto . . .

I hope our backs are healthy and strong as we go into this bowl game. I am looking forward to watching them run against a defense which clearly can be vulnerable. It will be even more fun if both the freshman get off some long runs, which I think quite possible. We are really fortunate to have both these guys; I hope Coach Bobo figures out how to use them to best advantage.
I’m not sure why, at this juncture, there’s such criticism of our coaches. Hey, I can be as hard on them as anybody, and I have been, but they were four yards short of playing ND for all the marbles. I find it hard to be critical of a year when we came that close to the national championship game.
I am a bit concerned about our defense going into the bowl. Alabama really ran on us (duh). Not to say that Nebraska is Alabama, but I hope we’ve plugged some holes. To win we need our offense on the field.
I will root for all the SEC teams in the bowls. If you don’t like it, that’s your problem, and I think you’re wrong if you don’t cheer every SEC victory. Every SEC victory improves the status of our conference and shows the world how difficult it is to have a winning record in the SEC. Besides that, as much as I hate Florida (and South Carolina, etc.), I hate a long list of other teams even more. Our close rival schools are friends as well as hated rivals. I will absolutely be rooting for LSU against Clemson, and would expect most Bulldog fans to be doing the same. Geaux Tigers!
I’ll also root for Georgia Tech in their bowl.
I’m very glad to hear that Keith Marshall is feeling on top of the world. He is a great Dawg. I look forward to watching some beautiful runs by him and his roommate on Tuesday.
I hope our other backs get a chance to run, too. If we can score 80 points that would be fine with me.
I’d love to see as many SEC teams as possible in the final BCS top ten. I hope Alabama smears ND, beating them by 50 points. I’d love to see Alabama, and Georgia, and Florida, and Texas A&M, and LSU, and South Carolina in the top ten. I think it possible that the SEC is so good relative to the other conferences that maybe that’s how it should be. We’ll find out in the next week or so.
The big boy games begin soon. I can’t wait.
Go, Keith Marshall! Go, Georgia Bulldogs! Go, SEC!

Every time an SEC team wins against a non SEC member, the Dawgs win. We reinforce how dominant our conference is and eliminates the ole, “they didn’t play anybody” argument. A strong conference makes strong teams. Don’t see how any true Dawg fan can pull for a Big 10, ACC, or PAC 10 team over one of our SEC neighbors.

I generally pull for the SEC team in any game outside the conference. Truthfully alot of times I wish they could both lose ala ND vs Bama. I sure don’t want Clemson going into the off season thinking they are “SEC killers” by beating LSU. I want all the questions about the ACC and how they can’t beat the SEC to remain valid going into next year. I want Clemson shaking in their boots…so yeah I’m going to hope LSU wins that one in particular. Does that make me less of a Dawg fan? No, I don’t think so.

UGa fans pulling for LSU is like Ford cheering for Chevy against Toyota. It is OK but not working that hard to cheer for another team. I was impressed with Duke against Cincy. Duke didn’t give up like I feared but I want not really cheering for Duke. I cheer for teams I like or coaches I respect or players I enjoy watching doing well. I don’t cheer of other teams in my league cause SOMEHOW it make my team better by association.

And because of Put in Timeout and other stinger sucking trolls like him I will force myself to pull for Lane Kiffin coached underachieving Trojans to roll over Tech and wonder aloud how that sorry a team was allowed to play in a bowl. Other than that I pull for SEC teams and they usually win. The other games remind me of when you turn on the TV and all that’s on is the Gwinnett Braves.

Moist, I look at it like this. I start the game pulling for let’s say Florida to win because they are SEC but if things go wrong I delight in their misery. Kind of a win win way to watch a game I really don’t otherwise give much of a damn about.
The Tech USC game will be can’t miss for me because somebody’s misery will be there to enjoy. Do you get it now?

DawgFan…..we can agree on something. I like some teams and hate others. I cheer more for a good game than a team that I don’t care about. I would like FSU to win for the ACC but I am not going to be cheering them on to win. If it happens so be it but if they lose I will not cry either. I actually like Clemson fans but not a Clemson Tiger football fan.

The dawgs will be fine on offense and put some points on the board. Overall, they played well against AL, which has one of the best D’s in the country. On the other hand, the D is still asking itself how it allowed AL to run 350 yds on them and will Neb be allowed to do the same thing? Will they be ready to play or even want to be there knowing injury could cost them a shot in the NFL? The outcome of this bowl game will rest largely on their shoulders. Don’t take Neb lightly. They could probably beat half the teams in the SEC and their D, like GA’s has something to prove after both got embarrassed in their last outing. Whoever has the most heart will come out on top. GO DAWGS.

Lot of Techsters on here w/o Tech degrees as well I am sure. Not that it matters but I’m class of ‘84 and I only respond as an azz when prompted by azzes, especially Tech azzes trolling UGA blogs. Also saying you like FSU to win is pulling for them or cheering them on whether you jump up and scream or cry or pull your whatever. It’s the same thing. Also since UGA sells out every game with screaming Red clad patrons like me there must be a lot of these bloggers that go to games. Techies need more of their bloggers to go to their games. Attendance is at an all time low at Bobby Dodd. Why do obnoxiously come on here to pick on others who cheer and support a team that’s successful?

It must be nice to be like Joey, or 1969. After the Dawgs game, throwing that UGA shirt in the corner and putting on that florida or bama shirt. What a disgrace. Like I said, the sec winning does NOTHING for UGA, UGA winning does.

Moist, have you tried meditation or yoga. Does wonders for the afflicted, angry soul. I may pull for rivals against for example Clemson who I hated more than anyone when we played them every year but I would never wear a UF shirt you idiot. No one said that about themselves and I would certainly feel sorry for someone like that. Picture this though. What if the SEC laid an egg in bowl games and SEC superiority came into question? Our high school players start going to Oklahoma, Clemson, Nebraska, etc. that’s why I pull for the conference over the alternative.

Add Dawgfan and Shane to the list of idiots.
Have you ever considered that maybe you don’t have to pick a side when watching a football game involving a team you should hate?
The only thing I’m rooting for in the nd/bama game is for me not to puke the entire 3 hours and as far as clemson goes, my 7 year old son tried rooting for clemson last season and I turned off the tv and wouldn’t let him watch anymore until he said he was sorry.
If UGA WINS it doesn’t matter what the rest of the conference does you morons. So go ahead and cheer for floriduh. I don’t know how you look at your wife, or children, or even the mirror for that matter.

Joey, you are spot on. My brother and one of my closest friends are Tech grads, and my wife and her family are Alabama grads. They all pull for UGA, except when their team plays us. Moist Dawg is full of it. I am a UGA grad and season ticket holder since 1969, and I pull for all SEC teams in bowl games and any other time they play outside the SEC. Yes, it is hard to root for Spurrier or the Gators, but they are all SEC brethren, and I am a conference homer and proud to say that. Red Stick from LSU has always been a good poster and SEC booster as well. Do well, SEC, make the conference proud!

I’ve played my share of ball growing up and one thing I know is most athletes respect each other from other teams and show sportsmanship after a game. They laugh at disgruntled fans who chant I hate so-and-so with folded arms while pouting. Fans have big mouths and attitudes at a stadium and nowadays, on a computer. My only point is to just be cool guys don’t go extreme one way or the other. I didnt bother to proofread this so apologize for any comedic typos..try and have a good day now

I have been a UGA fan since I moved to Atlanta 49 years ago and attended UGA…so I’m a UGA fan first and a SEC fan second and frankly anyone who doesn’t get that if a little slow.Hoping the Dogs come to play and we start 2013 in a winning fashion.

Bobo is just doing a “please don’t transfer to somewhere where you might actually get to start and become a star” to Marshall.

One thing i havent heard anyone mention is Nebraska’s #1 rated pass defense. I think Georgia will NEED to be able to establish the run. Im not predicting scores or bashing on your offense, but we have consistently had top 10 pass defenses under Bo. Also, the BIG 10 might not pass the ball so well this year, but last year we shut down Kirk Cousins, and Iowa’s Vandenburg(who had good numbers last year). This year we embarrassed Penn Sts Mcgloin who had an outstanding Qb efficiency rating. This is all not to mention that we just came from the Big 12 and they pass arguably better than any conference. So as worried as i am about my team stopping the run, i am not the least bit worried about the pass. Also if i were a Georgia fan wanting to get both of those backs on the field and I had this extra time to prep, I would run a two back wildcat and work in some read option. It gets both backs on the field and it has been a major weakness to the Blackshirt D. We are going to let the chips fall where they may. GBR

Gurley and Marshall two of the best freshmen running backs in 2012. Also two fine young men who are excellent students. Very proud of both of them for their hard work. Looking forward to seeing them run for 200 yards plus and Murray throw for 300 yards on January 1st.

Marshall is a good back who hits the hole quickly and fast. He was more touted than Gurley coming out of high school. I am glad that Marshall is not going to be thrown to the wayside. I believe he would be a great kickoff returner. They should test him in this game on special teams.

Bobo needs to occationally get Gurley and Marshall on the field at the same time.
Absolutely! I have been preaching that very same thing to my morning
armchair coffee club all season. It sure seems to me, Richt and Bobo
could come up with a package to have both on the field at the same time.
Defenses would surely have to divide focus if both were on the field at once,and that would create opportunities.

I’ve never been convinced that putting in (2) tailback at one time really “creates” any confusion or open any new holes. It seems like a waste of a potential blocker to me. Can’t really see any good defense being particularly fazed by it. An extra receiver or a good play action fake, would seem to me to be much more effective IF creating confusion was the goal. More so than which player is getting a handoff.
But I admit, I do not know what that play would specifically look like that you envision.
