Aaron, just cut down on the slow starts and turnovers….

Erin,

Please increase your number of Interceptions vs. Georgia Tech. And please keep posting photographs of yourself in compromising positions throughout the offseason.

Georgia, you all need a team leader on the defensive side.
Somebody that won’t be some troublemaker but who will keep the whole team cohesive.
The offense will be just fine as long as they don’t just sit and relax acting like they’ve arrived!

I won’t rile you Dog fans for now.

the problem with uga this year3 is going to be defense,who it will be lacking in inexperience and youth. the offense should be better and uga will have to outscore with large numbers to be competitive.

our new schedule will be another issue, as we add Clemson and Lsu.

this combination will have a negative impact and it will be reflected with worse results in 2013.

I will forecast a record of 9-3 if not worse!

I love all these pre-season predictions. Recruiting isn’t over, so we don’t know which freshman can play right away; we don’t know how many JUCO prospects will be signed, adding more college experience/talent; we don’t know how players will improve during off-season workouts/spring training; we don’t know if a player who has previously been an underachiever returns for fall camp and a major contributor; we don’t know who may get injured and miss significant playing time or an entire season; we don’t know if Grantham will alter his current defensive scheme to reflect the players’ talents; we don’t know if the offense will change its blocking schemes to adequately block that monster defensive end from South Carolina; we don’t know how the offense will expand the role of Keith Marshall in the passing game; we don’t know if the offense will use sets with Gurshall in the game at the same time; and we don’t know if the kicking game will improve.

The same goes for other programs. Indeed, everything is an unknown until teams line up and play.

The only thing we know for certain is that football will be played during the fall of 2013 (unless, of course, the Mayan calendar was off by a month or so).

So let’s give it a rest. Now’s the time to try and trick the IRS out $$$$$$ so we can buy season tickets!

Murray’s our best chance for a championship next year.

The weak link has become Grantham and his defense. He either mans up next year and the D improves or else we need to fire him. The buck stops with Richt so if he can’t get his D to wrap up instead of NFL style throw downs while trying to steal the ball we should fire him too. Absolutely zero discipline on defense.

Really glad Murray is returning. He’s a DGD!

Chip, having read the Mayretta Daily News article, I knew it wouldn’t be long before some writer took his words out of context. Yes, he said he’s “frustrated”. Who wouldn’t be if you’re a competitor?

What he said was, ““It’s frustrating because I was hoping for the opportunity to compete to be the guy this year.”

He further stated, “Coach Richt is a straight up honest guy. He can’t make Aaron’s decision for him. Nobody promised me anything….I’ve enjoyed my time learning and (playing) behind Aaron. He’s a classy guy and I only wish him the best in whatever he does.”

And finally, “I would like to see my (college) career end at UGA,”

Like many Bulldog fans, I’d like to see Mason get some ‘meaningful’ playing time this year; not just mop up. We have a real quandary now with Mason and Bauta, not to mention Ramsey. But it’s a nice problem to have.

Then we also have LeMay and P Welch. What’s their future look like?

For those of you who actually read the article and din’t come on here to talk trash about Aaron Murray because he is better than your team’s QB… Did anyone pick up on what Aaron said he’d like to improve on? I’ve said for a couple of seasons that I thought Bobo hamstrung Murray by not allowing him to run, Now either Aaron is being diplomatic or he chose to concentrate on being a pure pocket passer. Personally I think this conscious effort to do this has greatly contributed to his tendency to be tight in big games. By not playing instinctively, ie: not using his wheels when he appropriate, he overthinks the situation and thus is way tighter than he should be. What if Manziel consciously made an effort to not run the ball when under pressure? What would his game be like? I’ve said this for years, Bobo needs to take the muzzle off. Well now it seems that Aaron needs to take the muzzle off because I think you will see a much more relaxed playmaker next year because of this. Now I am extra excited.

Aaron – please learn how to throw the touch pass, that little flair where you hit the halfback in stride, maybe a rainbow over the D-end, and the screen (how to set it up and execute it), and the the little drop off pass over the middle to the tight end. You have got a huge arm, are an excellent student of the game, throw a great long ball but sometimes you throw it too hard, need to learn to sometimes float it a little more. Welcome home!

Best QBs in 2013 in the SEC

1. AJ McCarron (won like 2 national championships)
2. Johnny Manziel (won the Heisman, beat Bama at Bama at night in front of the world)
3. Conner Shaw (wins most of his big games)
4. A Murray (nearly beat Alabama after Alabama had spent to much time celebrating a game winning interception)

Now you can say, but Murray is so much better! Yeah, statistically he’s better than Johnny Football… but how did that translate on the national scene? Here’s the Heisman voting results, I don’t see Murray. Probably because the nation recognized junk yards against bad teams when it sees it.

1. Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M; 2,029 (474 first-place votes)
2. Manti Te’o, Notre Dame; 1,706 (321 first-place votes)
3. Collin Klein, Kansas St.; 894 (60 first-place votes)
4. Marqise Lee, Southern California; 207 (19 first-place votes)
5. Braxton Miller, Ohio St.; 144 (3 first-place votes)
6. Jadeveon Clowney, South Carolina; 61 (4 first-place votes)

I don’t think AJ has the weapons Aaron has. And yet he does better.

I think there are a lot of college players who come out early ignoring the advice of the NFL and end up not drafted. Murray was smart to listen, but he can’t improve much on what he’s done this year which evidently wasn’t enough to impress the NFL.

Keep in mind, this is expected to be a very bad QB draft. It’s nothing like last years. And Murray still didn’t impress. It’s the height and inability to win big games, other than this year where they beat Vandy, an embarrassing UF team and a Nebraska team that let Wisconsin put up 70 points on them.

He’s Rex Grossman II… but without the quality wins.

In 2010, UGA beat 0 teams that finished the season ranked including a bowl loss to UCF.

In 2011, UGA repeated that feat and didn’t beat a single team that finished the season ranked.

In 2012, UGA beat 3 teams that finished the season ranked. Vanderbilt, Florida and Nebraska. Vanderbilt did well given where they’ve always been and they’re improving. But Murray’s best game against the 3 teams was against Vandy. Florida finished in spectacular fashion, the nation watched and laughed. Florida also turned the ball over six times against UGA, which helped UGA win considering Murray turned it over 3 times as well. Then there was Nebraska, who lost 70-31 to Wisconsin who went on to lose to Stanford. Note, 70-31. UGA was still tied in the 4th quarter.

In big games Murray does not win. Look no further than the biggest game of the regular season was South Carolina, and he went 11/31, 0 TDs and 1 INT.

The reality is the NFL does not like short QBs because they don’t work. They usually work in college because they’re scramblers, see Johnny Football. Murray is not one of those.

The NFL didn’t want him. Tough pill to swallow. They’d like to see if he can put up Drew Brees numbers but Drew Brees was always good, Murray hasn’t been. So much so there were a lot of Dog fans that wanted him benched mid season and blamed him for all of the problems.

If they thought Murray was the second coming of Drew Brees, they’d put him higher in a weak QB draft. They did not.

In its last two games, Nebraska’s defense gave up over 1,220 yards and 115 points or an average of over 600 yards and 57 points per game.

In it’s prime time AT HOME game against Texas A&M, Alabama was only able to rush for 122 yards. Against Georgia, Alabama ran for 350 yards. Interestingly, Johnny Football against Bama ON THE ROAD went 24/31, 253 yards, 2 TDs and added 92 yards rushing. Murray went 18/33, 265, 1 TD and 1 INT.

Both QBs are the same size. But Manziel, like the even shorter Russel Wilson, runs. Makes a difference. The NFL can accept a short QB, but only in the bottom half of the draft.

So Murray is not going to truly improve his NFL standing by staying another year. Not with a worse defense and tougher schedule. What he’s doing is trying to get drafted in 2014, he might not have in 2013.

The other thing that would be kind of funny is when Murray goes to be measured by the NFL in the combine. One NFL analyst doesn’t believe he’d be over 6 feet tall and he’s probably right.

Does he have the arm strength to throw in lanes? Probably. Good mechanics? Sure. Mobile? No. Good decision making? If the team is not ranked, sure. When he’s against a good team, not so much. Aided by talented WRs against DBs that are not as talented? Yes.

LSU game last year is a great example of playing against NFL quality DBs. I think Tony Dungy tried to help Murray out, maybe he likes Murray given his son works out with him, but it’s obvious Dungy was way off even with a bad QB draft crop with Barkley physically broken.

You know I saw an interesting stat, total defense for 2012. Georgia was ranked… 32? So Ogle, Jones, Jenkins, Rambo, and three other defense starters are leaving and you’re starting off against 3 top 13 teams in the first four games. When Murray gets on the field, he’ll face a very well rested defense. That’s why I’m surprised he didn’t bolt being that he could be a 2nd or 3rd round pick… but I think it’s as obvious as the fact he’s not 6′1″, that he’s not top 2nd or 3rd round.

At some point, you’re going to admit it. Probably when you egg his house again.

Texas A&M plays a very easy schedule next year which will help them . The only team in the West that can beat them is Alabama. L.S.U. is losing way too many stars to the Pro draft and Mettenberger is not a very good Quarterback. Alabama will win the West next year and will beat Texas A&M by at least 14 point if not more.

Great news that Murray is coming back. Georgia will average over 500 yards a game and Murray will throw for over 4000 yards. Those bloggers on here who are bad mouthing Murray is either related to Mason, you don’t like Georgia and wish Murray would just leave because Georgia is so good with him or you are delusional and it doesn’t matter if Murray breaks every record in the book it still wouldn’t be good enough. Either way why don’t you save yourself a lot of grief and don’t log back on to this website
until 2014 because unless Murray gets hurt he is going to be Georgia’s Quarterback in 2013 and we don’t want you as a fan at Georgia if you hope he gets hurt.
We just went 12-2 in the hardest Conference in football and just missed playing for and probably winning a National Title. We finish 4TH in the only poll that counted because Ohio State didn’t deserve to be rated by anyone. Georgia should have been rated 3RD in both polls if it had been done right. I see no complaints . Grantham’s Defense shut down the passing game at Alabama but they ran for 350 yards and if it had not been for Murray we would have never come close to Alabama.

Just as a quick review, 7 BCS National Championships in a row for the SEC. 0 from UGA.

3 from Alabama, 2 from UF, 1 from LSU and 1 from Auburn.

Top 6 teams in the SEC were 30-0 against bottom 8. That’s not typical SEC ball. It shows a weak bottom 8 which includes UT who has been off for a while, a ARK team decimated by its coach and an AUB team who quit. Basically, if Vandy is winning, something ain’t right. And if UGA is winning the east two years in a row, something is way off.

Don’t get me wrong, Murray is a phenomenal QB… if the team is not ranked. The chances are extremely high for a 1-3 start, which is why you have to question why Murray returned knowing he could supposedly be in the 2nd or 3rd round. If he’s looking for millions and wants to be first round, returning to this Georgia team in 2013 ain’t how you do it.

Or get r dune.

It would take the second coming of the lord to make the browns competitive, no matter who the coach is. This is probably the most consistently mismanaged club there is in the NFL. Right next to the over bearing owner of the jets.
Coach Grantham will have a good defensive unit for UGA on the field. They will be young, but after taking a few lumps in the early games, they will be a much more cohesive unit than they were in 2012. UGA had a lot of defensive stars but they didn’t jell well as a unit together, most of the time. The young kids on the defense this year, will be hungry and I think, once they get their feet wet, will be just fine.

I have to say, I had hoped Murray would leave as I beleive and always will that Hudson is as good or maybe better. That’s nothing against Aaron- its more against this coaching staff that cant find a way to utilize both. Slow starts and turnovers will again be the flavor next year as that will not change with murray. We will somehow find a way to lose a game we should not and maybe still sneak into the SEC game next year- but one thing did hit home watching bama game……these coaches do not have the same drive…..yes, I think we would have won had we been there but there would have been alot more drama- e.g. interceptions, slow starts……CMR would have NEVER gone for 4 and 1 at the end of half- we would have trotted out and missed a FG…….or even worse…3 runs up the middle and give ND the ball back ….same story for us, just a different year

Alright Coach Todd Grantham, highest paid asst. coach in program history, you pissed and moaned about getting help from Bobo last year, now it is all on you. You have not stopped ANYONE’S up-the- gut run game, including Buffalo, Kentucky, ect. The defense fell considerably short of hype and expectations. Now you must do more with less. (Actually, you may have MORE, considering the stupidity of several of your starters breaking rules). Everyone will be focused on YOUR side of the ball in 2013 looking for much needed improvement, just as they were looking at Bobo’s side last year. I do not care what any of you idiot Bobo bashers say, at this point he has shown great improvement since taking over in 2006, and has passed the test. Now it’s YOUR turn Grantham, you have been an NFL coach, you have tons more worldly experience than Bobo, and it is time for it to show up. Bobo had to pull off record setting offensive play with a green OL. An OL that was under the gun for the entire 2012 preseason and beyond, by media pundits as being Georgia’s weak link. Bobo has committed his entire adult life to UGA football. He is a DGD of the highest level in my book. All of his real experience has come as a coach at UGA. He has not had the opportunity to gain a wealth of experience from the NFL, or even other major college programs. He got it all in Athens, and in my opinion, he has become a top notch OC. Coach Grantham, your job now is to produce a run stopping defense while maintaining the level of play on pass defense. Bottom line is Bobo produced a championship caliber offense with what he had to begin 2012, now it is your turn. You are either worth the money, or your not.

Ga needs to focus on the D Line. It looked as though strength and conditioning was a problem. I think they should junk the 3-4 and go back to the 4-3. Could not stop the run all year long. The lineman did not do a good job at shedding blocks and getting to the ball carrier. Hate to say it….but if you looked at the defensive lineman for Ga and compared the players to other defensive lineman… Ga’s looked out of shape. Its a shame because Big John Jenkins is an absolute load of talent….I think the coaching and strengthening could have been better. I’d think about getting a new D line coach or at least change some things up. D line was way to weak and porous.

Hi Buckeye, You do realize your season was a mirror image of ND except they played a little bit harde schedule than you. Beating up on the Big Ten apparently is pretty easy. Sort of like being a bully in the fifth grade if you are the only kid who had a growth spirt over the summer. Walk into another class room and you will get pounded. It really amuses me how much trash you talk on this blog. Your worthless team has NEVER beaten Georgia. Gets its a$$ handed to it everytime it plays an SEC school. Your wimpy team walked away from home and home games with the Dawgs. We were really looking forward to extracting some serious revenge on Urban in the Big Ten. He can’t hide behind Tebow anymore. Even if you manage to carry your weak schedule undefeated again you will have to play a 1 loss SEC team no matter what in the NC game next year after what ND did. You also have to hope Oregon looses and the Big 12 don’t have an undefeated team. You play in the fourth best conference just ahead of the ACC. Everybody knows it. No one respencts it. The SEC will continue to crush it. You went 2 and 5 in Bowl games. Northwestern was your shining moment. What color in the sky in your world?

Does he really want to come back and lose to Bama again? I doubt they get any more gift 10 pt swings on blocked field goals turned into tds to turn a statistical blowout into a seemingly close game. If we meet them again in 2013 it will be a beatdown on the scoreboard that more closely resembles the beatdown that took place on the field in 2012.———————————————————————————————————————————————-

Just like the gift calls for Bama. McCarron gets hit by Ogletree and jumps up and crys like a baby to the Refs. gets call. Murry gets blatant HTH contact takes it like a man, yet the ref, who is 3 yds. away claims he didn’t see it.

As for the 10 point swing. Wasn’t it the mighty Tide O Line blocking on that blocked FG? Why yes, yes it was. Wasn’t it our weak underclass O Line that allowed the most yds rushing by any back on Bama this year? Why yes, yes it was.

Statistical beat down? Didn’t the mighty Tide defense give up 400 yds. and 28 points against the poor UGA Offense
Statistical beat down? Rushing yes, passing no.

Our entire line will be back. Bamas, not as many.
This is not a response to Bama. fans, many who are my friends and whom I respect. They realize what a damn tough, close game it was.

I said the whole season he needed to run more. While I believe all qb’s should be pass first, if they can run they should. I remember in the bowl game murray threw a pass away when he was scrambling to the sideline and could’ve easily picked up 5 yards and stepped out instead. Those are the kind of runs he needs to be making, smart/safe runs.

As for mason, I feel bad for the guy but there is always that possibility. When murray leaves mason has to be much better then the other backups. If the other guys are on the same level as him, or if he is only slightly better, it would be to UGA’s benefit to start a younger guy and let him start getting his playing time. DJ was an exception to the rule, JoeT and Joe Cox are the norm.

You are also lucky that the Gamecocks did not loose…. they had to pull that one out of their arse to win at the end.

This is the same Gamecocks team that totally embarrassed the bulldogs (even worse than Bama embarrassed the Golden Domers).

Yea…. maybe the SEC should just get rid of the SEC-East… as the SEC-W has 5 of those. If it weren’t for UF, the SEC east would have 0. Bama is good and can beat anybody given more than a week to prepare….

How does an average Texas A&M come in from outside the SEC and dominate with a 3* recruit?

All I am saying is that a 1 loss SEC team will always be placed higher than a Non-SEC team due to perception…. so teams like Oregon get left out if they slip up.

TA&M or LSU and FL would have been in the SECCG if it weren’t for the scheduling that was mentioned earlier… but the refusal of the SEC to add more conference games despite having 14 members now is the reason the SEC benefits.

When you only play 2 out of 7 teams on the other side of the division…. it makes for cupcake city for many teams each year.

Alabama and UGA both enjoyed cupcake city in the SEC this year…. it was a Little Debbie Diet.

Did you notice that the SEC was favored to win every one of their bowl games?
Would have loved to see the SEC face some team with an offense (teams like Oregon, Stanford, etc…).

2 out of the top 4 SEC teams did face a team with an offense and both of them lost. Just a shame the Rose Bowl has its lock.

I guarantee you this…the SEC will not dominate the 4 team playoff.

Also Hunker Down… how many NC’s do the Bulldogs have of those 7? Seems like UGA is just living off the scraps from the SEC perception.

Defense does win Championships… that is what the SEC is known for. While I agree that we almost beat Alabama, it was because we got turnovers worth 17-24 points on the board and Alabama only got 3 points from us on turnovers.

Everyone is hung up on that one play, but remember, Saban made the same timeout mistake going into halftime …. do you honestly think that Alabama would not have been able to score from the 3 on 1st and goal.

Reality Check is we were lucky to be even close and BAMA would beat us 9 times out of 10 games played.

Only 2 teams in the SEC had offenses this year… UGA and the Aggies…. the rest won with Defense and when you look at our history of SEC success, it is Line Play and Defense.

Which brings us back to Alphare’s point…. our Defense gave up 300+ yards of RUSHING in 3 out of the last 4 games of the season (not counting 240 to Nebraska). For us to have so many NFL starters on the team this year… you have to think that was a bit of underachievement.

What would have happened if we were to have held Bama under 200 yards rushing…. our defense gave up more rushing yards to Bama than any other team on Bama’s schedule this year.
