“Tale of Two Saturdays”
In my humble opinion, the penultimate level of amateur athletics is American college football, and the end of year rivalries, including state championships, are just too savory not to be enjoyed. Tale of two Saturdays. Again. As it’s been so many weeks, so many autumnal years. Hanging with the #Marshall crew before the game today, […]
Offensive Mind
This is not nearly as hard as we are making it, y’all. When you have a running quarterback, you run him. When you have a tight end with the best hands on the team, you throw him the football quickly when the primary receiver is covered. When a veteran talent like Keith Marshall is netting […]
Division Crowns Still at Stake
Nick Chubb, out for the year with a devastating knee injury, set the school season yards per carry record in 2015 at a remarkable 8.2. The ypc mark was also previously held by him after his true freshman campaign and was intact before that since UGA dominated in the 1940s. We are basically where we […]
Vols Will Battle Dawgs
Last year’s tilt on Rocky Top was part of an ongoing injuries horror show. Receivers had dropped like flies for weeks, and we had seen star Todd Gurley fall to an injury the week prior, rolled up on by an overmatched Bayou Bengal. We survived LSU after beating Carolina by double digits. Those were home […]
What a Difference
What a difference a play makes. Ask Justin Scott-Wesley or Murray for Heisman. Had that been a pick instead of a touchdown pass Murray would not be over the hump as a player, UGA would be .500, Richt would be on the hot seat, at least with the fickle fans and perhaps even with the […]
The Xs And The Os, The Ws And The L
Then they stepped forward on a separation Saturday, the defending SEC West and SEC East champions many feel are on another collision course. BAMA — GEORGIA — one has won three-of-four national championships, while netting two non-consecutive conference crowns — the other is going for the three-peat in-division but has not worn a conference crown […]
No Time to Wallow in the Valley
South Carolina’s flagship institution is not the historic football power in the Palmetto State. That distinction falls to Death Valley, where Clemson edged geographic and traditional rival Georgia 38-35 Saturday night behind five touchdowns by stellar senior quarterback Tajh Boyd. Stud Clemson wideout Sammy Watkins went for over a hundred; their newly starting runner went […]
Depth Chart Battles (and Other Summer Tangents)
Sophomore strong safety Josh Harvey-Clemons is suspended for the huge GEORGIA-Clemson opener on August 31st (8:00 p.m., ABC, at Death Valley in South Carolina) yet is holding off another excellent athlete, junior Corey Moore, on the official team depth chart. The reality is Moore will start the next time toe meets leather, and he actually […]
The Strongest Unit
There seems to be no way for GEORGIA to struggle on offense this year. Last season, the Dawgs led all of NCAA football in a key stat: yardage gained per play (7.08). And everyone coming back has started big football games and really produced. Georgia lost two receivers from 2012 (TK and Marlon) but actually […]
Mike Bobo’s Legacy
Quarterback Mike Bobo was supposed to be great, after being very good in head coach Ray Goff’s last season at the helm. That was the year I lived down in Florida, and I was glued to an old television set as instant phenom Robert Edwards switched from defensive back to running back. The schedule didn’t […]
