Can UGA Vanquish Growing Pains?
GEORGIA can do a whole lot to begin to vanquish this season’s growing pains by pulling out a victory at Colorado Saturday night. We won’t recover from 0-3 in the SEC this weekend, nor this season, but we need – desperately need – to win a football game for the future of our not so […]
Grantham’s Defense Not The Problem
When Grantham took over as defensive coordinator after last season, Georgia was coming off an 8-5 campaign full of defensive pains. Georgia had had two remarkably poor defensive seasons in a row; resultant: Richt gave Martinez his walking papers. Martinez’s final defense was actually improved from the unit that held back a talented offense (Moreno, […]
Longest-Tenured SEC Coach Faces Must Win
Let’s face it: GEORGIA must win Saturday night in Starkville. Are we really going to plummet from a number 2 team at season’s end only 3 seasons ago, to a squad that is 0-3 in the SEC, coming off a 5-loss season? The season will be utterly unsalvageable if we start winless in the league […]
Reality Bites
When a promising season starts with by far your best player being suspended. When you go to 0-2 in the SEC and have no real home field advantage. When poor protection, obvious play calling and quarterback inexperience leads to six sacks and the last one does real damage. When a defensive breakdown leads to a […]
Tough Home Loss
Playing without starting fullback Chapas, starting tailback C. King and suspended all-world (selfish idiot) wideout AJ Green, Georgia trailed top SEC offensive squad Arkansas by two touchdowns late. The play calling had been so predictable that I called for an offensive coordinator change by day’s end. Suddenly, we showed heart and a furious rally was […]
Top Hogs in Town
Arkansas led the SEC in scoring last season. At right under 6-feet tall, Joe Adams is a super-quick senior wideout. The other starting wideouts in a three-wide formation are much taller and also proven: Jarius Wright is a playmaker, and Greg Childs went over 100 receiving yards vs. Florida, LSU and UGA last season. Tight […]
Can Ealey Shake Off S.I. Jinx
A regional cover of Sports Illustrated’s SEC preview featured young Washaun Ealey – quite a preseason honor for a true sophomore on the same team with NFL-bound wideout AJ Green. Ealey was not even an official starter yet; that distinction at running back given to Caleb King for his more consistent blocking. Ealey then drives […]
Looking at Division Schedules…Already
Thing about an early loss is: if you are going to drop a game, the most-recoverable games to lose in college football are definitely the earliest. You can recover and you know where you stand. We are currently last in the East. Our primary initial goal is to win the SEC East this season. We […]
Conservative Game Plan Fails
Why Georgia why? We have a head coach with a 4-1 record in Columbia. During those four tough DAWGS wins and now one ugly loss, we have scored a total of four offensive touchdowns. Trailing 14-6, Washaun Ealey dropped the rock on the Carolina three. They took over, and we never challenged offensively again. Conservative […]
This is Showtime
The SEC schedule gets underway at noon in Columbia, SC; televised on ESPN2. Should GEORGIA drop this game against a clearly improved Gamecocks squad on the road, the season and our aspirations for an SEC crown will be far from over. A win would do wonders for our confidence and give us the tiebreaker over […]
