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 […]
An Ecstatic Homecoming
The dust has settled on a 9-6 (American League of baseball-like) slugfest Homecoming Saturday night Between the Hedges. Mizzou, the two-time back-to-back belt-holding SEC East champions gimped into the Classic City hungry for a win of any variety after being badly diverted at home by the upstart Florida Gators – the sudden clear favorite in […]
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 […]
Rocky Top Awaits
Nick Chubb set the school season mark for yards per carry as a true freshman last year and is on a pace to potentially surpass that mark this year. In fact, Chubb sits at second in the Heisman Trophy race after he ran for 136 yards and a touchdown on twenty carries. He had only […]
Special Teams Have Strong Special Teams
“Special Teams Have Strong Special Teams” Joystick era underway at UGA. 14 years post-Donnan season underway, and my little BHB itself has a 2007 origin way in the rearview. 7 years. 14 years. TOUCHDOWNS, baby! Make more touchdowns than your opponents and win. That’s football, we think. But field goals matter, too, more than most […]
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 […]
Eleven
High noon Between the Hedges, moments after a touching Senior Day ceremony ended. Without it being said by many, it was notable too for the number of NFL draft-ready Georgia juniors playing their final game in Athens. This team will look different next year, and the schedule will toughen significantly with the additions of the […]
Like It’s 1980
Private school glory for the remote control holders last night, as the Stanford Cardinal (without Andrew Luck) and the little Baylor Bears (without RGIII) beat the numbers one and two teams in the BCS. One and two had never before dropped games on the same day, and these upsets happened simultaneously last night. NCAA excitement! […]
