Hello from Orlando...

Well, here we are just two days away from the last game of the season. I love bowl season, but at the same time, I hate this time of year. We now have to wait nine months for the next game. Yes, I am one of those nuts that enjoys reading about our recruiting class and I enjoy the G-Day game, but the rest of the year my wife has to put up with me talking about what went wrong the season before...and there will be a lot to moan and groan about this off season. I don't know how long it is going to take to get over the Tech loss...maybe by the end of next November??

A quick analysis of the Capital One Bowl:

We have all heard about Javon Ringer. Yes, he is a work horse, but he is The MSU offense, so as long as our D can contain him then it should be a good day. Paul Westerdawg on the Georgia Sports Blog did some research that shows that Ringer failed to go over 91 yards against MSU's 5 "quality" opponents (including Wisconsin and Iowa).

Overall, MSU's offense is average and their Defense is not much better. I doubt that they have faced an opponent with the balance that we have. So, I believe that if our offense plays the way that it is capable of playing then we should be fine, and that it will be a very enjoyable Capital One Bowl.

PREDICTION:
UGA 38 - MSU 17

The History of Jan Kemp

ESPN's Pat Forde discusses the lasting impact that Jan Kemp had on college athletics.

Quick notes...

Did anyone see the turnout (or lack there of) for the ACC Championship game?? Each year has been pretty low, but this has to be the worst to date.


Georgia has 4 1st Teamers on Phil Steele's All-SEC Team. Knowshon, Green, Curran, and Mimbs were all on the 1st Team. Stafford, Massaquoi, Jones, and Boling were named to the 2nd Team. Atkins and Allen were named to the 3rd Team.


Here is a little info to put Georgia's "disappointing" season in perspective. Prior to Coach Richt, UGA had 22 9+ win seasons (with twelve 10+ win seasons). This year was Coach Richt's 7th straight season with atleast 9 wins. A bowl win will give UGA six 10 win seasons under CMR. That says a lot about how CMR has raised the bar of excellence at UGA.

Moreno All-American

For the first time since 2005 (Greg Blue and Max Jean-Gilles), UGA has a 1st team All-American. Knowshon, along with Shonn Greene of Iowa were selected as the two 1st team RB's for the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) AA team. Knowshon is the 1st UGA RB to be named to the team since Garrison Hearst in 1992.

Knowshon has averaged nearly six yards per carry en route to a 1,338-yard rushing season through 12 games making him just the second player in Georgia history to record more than 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons (Herschel Walker, 1980-83). Moreno, who also has 27 receptions for 329 yards and he has scored 17 touchdowns his season, the most by a Bulldog since Garrison Hearst’s 21 in 1992. Moreno leads the SEC in scoring with 102 points and rushing with an average of 111.5 yards per game. He is currently seventh in UGA history with 2,672 yards rushing in only two seasons.

Bowl Picture

The Capital One Bowl will be waiting until Sunday to announce the teams that they will be inviting to Orlando. However, it looks like it will be UGA - MSU. The Capital One almost always selects an SEC East team, and that leaves UGA. However, there is the slight possibility that Ole Miss could be invited since they finished within one game of Georgia. The most likely scenario though has them going to the Cotton Bowl, USC(e) going to the Outback, and LSU going to the Chick-fil-a Bowl.

Dawgs in the Draft

Here is a great article from David Hale and the Bulldog Blog. He interviewed Todd McShay to get some insight on UGA's draft eligible players.

http://dawg-extra.blogspot.com/2008/12/dawgs-in-draft.html

UGA-GIT Breakdown

Every year about this time I realize how important this game is and how big a rival Tech truly is for us. The thought of losing to the Nerds is absolutely unbearable! Just knowing how bad they want to beat the Dawg's makes it that much bigger. It is almost laughable how infatuated they are with UGA, if you ask 10 nerds what they would rather do, beat UGA or win the ACC, I guarantee that 8 out of every 10 would say beating UGA. That is CRAZY! Of course we haven't lost 7 in a row to them so who am I to judge!

Okay, on to the game. Leading up to this game all of the talk has been focused on our Defense against Tech's Offense. Rightfully so too, given how Georgia's D has played the last 5 games. However, I have to say that I am glad that there has been so much talk about our defense. If this doesn't motivate them then I do not know what will. Tech's Triple Option has been well documented this year. They are in the top 5 in rushing offense in year one of the CPJ administration. It is scary to think what he will be able to do when he has "his guys" running this offense. They employ a cut blocking system that is very controversial and is very near illegal. It is a very touchy subject for CPJ, which makes you think he knows that it is a borderline technique. At the end of the day it is going to come down to one thing, assignments! UGA has to play smart, disciplined football. I know, scary thought huh? However, I think that our guys are very capable of playing a solid game. They have had 2 weeks to study and prepare for Tech's gimmick offense, and just as importantly they have had two weeks to get healthy.

Something that has not been discussed a lot this week is how UGA's offense will fare against Tech's defense. Our offensive line has to be motivated, because as usual the media is saying that they cannot handle the opponent's D-line. Yes, Tech's D-line is very experienced and very talented. The whole group very well may play on Sundays. However, we have a very talented line that at this point is no longer inexperienced. They have given up very few sacks this year, however, #7 has a lot to do with that. UGA's WR corp should have a solid advantage against Tech's patched up secondary.

So, what does it all mean??? Everyone knows that Tech is motivated. They hate us, and the inability to beat UGA is probably what got Gailey fired. Paul Johnson is a heck of motivator and he has this group of players believing that they can play with anybody. After seeing the UM game you have to believe that our guys will be ready. Our guys know what this streak means, and no one on this team wants to be the group that lets it end. Tech will get their yards on the ground, however, at the end of the day I believe it will come down to the big 3 (or 4). Stafford, Moreno, Green, and MoMass (and Curran) will lead the Dawgs to victory, making Coach Richt 12-2 after a bye week.

UPDATE: The weather! This has already been pretty much over analyzed by everyone at this point. Everyone has an opinion on who it will help and who it will hurt. My opinion for what it is worth is that it will hurt Tech. They have been prone to fumbling the ball this year, and it is my guess that a wet slippery ball will not help the tossing, etc. that they will attempt to do tomorrow.

It will be a close hard fought game as usual, but when it is over, the Dawg Nation will be chanting 8 in a Row!

UGA 34 - Tech 17

Tech takes out the U

By now everyone has heard about Tech's stellar victory on the Flats last night. 470+ yards rushing and 40+ points with most of the damage coming before halftime.

So, what does this mean to the Dawgs?? Well, who knows, but my first thought was oh sh_t. After a little more time to digest the dominating victory I think the win by Tech last night was a good thing. Sound crazy??? Yeah, I love to see Tech lose, but by dominating The U like they did last night it had to open up the eyes of our players and coaches. If they didn't know before last night then they should now. Georgia cannot win this game just by showing up Saturday. This is not Gailey's Jackets anymore. No, this team has a little bit of, I hate to say it, "Swagger". They live to TRY to Beat Georgia, after all their fight song says To Hell with Georgia no matter who they are playing.

Flashback to 2007...

Dawgs look to make it 8 in row over the Nerds...

The Dawgs began preparations today for the regular season finale. They began the week by reviewing game tape of Saturday's win against Auburn. Good thing too, there are plenty of things that they need work on if they expect to extend their domination over the North Avenue Trade School.

The defense needs to get back to the basics over the next two weeks. If they don't begin to tackle better, then Dwyer and Co. could have a huge day on the ground. The penalties are another matter unto themselves entirely. I do not believe for one minute that our defense will lose any intensity by being more mindful of the number of penalties. There have been some who have claimed that our defense began its' downward slide when they began trying to reduce their penalties.

Don't Go Dawgs!

As some of you may have heard, some diehard fans have created a website to try and convince Moreno and Stafford to return for one more year.

It is http://www.dontgodogs.com/, you can check it out and sign the guest book.

Dawgs Make it 3 in a Row over Tigers!

Alright, so it was not pretty...again. But we won...again. We are 9-2 and now have a bye week to prep for GTI. I saw plenty of areas that need some work today (didn't we all?). The defense, though they held AU to only 13 points there were still WAY too many missed tackles and WAY too many penalties. The lack of discipline is very disturbing.

However, you have to believe that AU probably played one of their best games of the year today. They were motivated for numerous reasons; their coaches job, their pride (two thumpings in a row by the Dawgs), and for bowl eligibility. There are over 20 kids on that roster from GA that would have loved nothing more to beat their "hometown" team.

I am disgusted by the number of penalties. I am sickened by the poor tackling. However, considering the many obstacles the team has faced this year I am somewhat pleased to be at 9-2 with a shot to finish 11-2 for the second straight year. Some of you will disagree and talk about it being a disappointing season and I can definitely understand why.

Well, that is all for now. It has been a long day on the Plains after leaving out at 6 AM this morning. It was a successful trip. Bring on Tech and let's make it 8 in '08!

UGA - AU Breakdown

Alright, here we go, the last SEC game of the season. It is coming a couple weeks earlier than we had all hoped at the beginning of the season. However, we can still finish with an 11-2 record which in just about any other season (about any other program) would be considered a success.

At this point in the season both teams have been discussed and analyzed to exhaustion. So let me say this. Auburn's offense, to put it nicely sucks. There is no way, if our offense "clicks" Saturday that AU can hang with the Dawgs.

So, the main question is can the Dawg's D contain Cody Burns?? A week after UK's Randall Cobb had his way with our defense, we now face a more experienced mobile QB. The defense held a players only meeting to declare "enough is enough", time to step up and play. Good, my only question is why they waited until Game 11 to decide they had had enough!?!?!

Auburn, as always has a solid defense. However, if their offense cannot sustain drives then they will get worn down by our offense.

My prediction, Georgia goes over 30 for the 4th straight meeting to win by double digits.

UGA 34 - AU 17

Football in Alabama...

Here is an article about a shooting in Alabama this past Saturday after the Bama/LSU game.

Wow, those folks just never fail to amaze me...

Georgia - Auburn Game Time Set

The UGA-AU game will be played at 12:30 and will be televised on Raycom Sports.

Time to go Willie Mo...

Here is a quote from Corvey Irvin in today's Athens Banner Herald:

"It ain't like you haven't practiced for it," defensive tackle Corvey Irvin said. "We practiced for that all week. We were prepared for it, but we couldn't stop it. We had missed tackles and missed assignments. We weren't very focused today."

Okay, not very focused?!?! I have now heard that excuse from someone on our defense after each of their meltdowns this season. I can MAYBE understand it once, but for them to time and again come out "not focused" is a joke and that responsibility rests squarely on Willie Martinez's shoulders.

Dawgs Escape a Shootout in Lexington

First things first. The Dawgs won! We are 8-2, CMR now has 80 wins through almost 8 seasons, and the offense played great!

However, the Defense flat out stunk! UK came in averaging 16 ppg in SEC play and yet they hung 38 on the Dawgs! We have now given up 41, 38, 49, and 38 in 4 out of our first 6 SEC games this year. We are near the bottom of the SEC and in the middle of the NCAA in every defensive statistical category, except Rush YPG (even though the best teams have ran the ball with ease against us). I have defended Willie Martinez throughout the last 4 seasons, but I can no longer. Our offense came out today and played with passion, marching the ball down the field on it's first two drives. On the other side of the ball our defense played without emotion, played out of position, and missed tackles. There is no excuse for UK to put up 38 points on this defense. Our defense has always been a perceived strength for CMR coached teams, yet this year it has become a liability. In Willie's first few seasons the Dawgs would have about one defensive meltdown per season, this year we have had 4, with 3 games to go.

I am very pleased with the win, and I am glad that our guys were able to come out on top in a tough game after being embarrassed last week in Jacksonville. Yet this team is lacking a killer instinct on defense. I know we have 3 games to go this year, however I can't help but look forward to next season. If we expect to compete for an SECCG next season then some serious changes are going to have to be made on the defensive side of the ball.

UGA - UK Breakdown

Alright, I am back...sort of. First let me say that I hope that the team has done a better job forgetting about the UF game than I have, if not then we are in trouble!

I trust that our guys don't want to let UF beat them two weeks in a row, so hopefully they show up for the game and show up on time (not in the 2nd half like they have been known to do).

As for the game itself, let me start by saying that if the team that pounded LSU shows up then they will not have a problem. However, seeing as how that team has only shown up once this year I have to admit I am a little nervous.

UGA's offense should be able to move the ball against the Wildcat D. Yes, UK has a fairly solid defense, but we saw what a dynamic offense can do against them when UF put up 100+ pts on them two weeks ago. I believe that Knowshon will show up and possibly have the game of his life after the way he was called out this week in the local media. (I would like to point out that I raised the topic first here on this blog before the AJC or Rivals wrote about it!). Anyways, if he can get off early then we will be able to control the game.

UK's offense is anemic. It has averaged about 16 ppg against BCS opponents this season. That is just not going to get it done. Of course, if UGA turns the ball over like it did against UF then that is a different story. The UK offense is not set-up to come from behind, so if UGA can get out front early it could very well spell trouble for the Wildcats.

The bottom line:
UGA is going to come out hungry to erase last weeks performance. I expect Knowshon to carry the ball 25+ times after all of the discussion this week about him taking himself out of the game at inopportune times.

Final score: UGA 34 - UK 17

A few thoughts about the Saturday massacre...

Well, after a little over 48 hours to digest the game now known as the World's Largest Crap Yourself Party I will share a few thoughts.

First, let's address the onside kick. One word, STUPID! I thought at the time it showed desperation, and I still think now it showed desperation. At the time UGA was down by 4 (7-3), and our Defense had done a good job of containing UF. Once we attempted and failed the onside kick Florida could smell blood in the water. By attempting the kick, it showed a total lack of confidence in our players and our team by CMR.

Next, the red-zone issues. I am going to give Blair Walsh a pass for now because the FG's don't really matter at this point. We needed TDs not FGs. I felt that each time UGA got inside the red-zone they turned to gimmicks instead of using our talent! We have a plethora of WRs that we can line up (MoMass, Green, Harris, Moore, etc) that all have heighth advantages over the UF secondary. So, line them up and take 3 shots at the end zone. I would much prefer this than to see Stafford try to run.

What about Moreno?? Something that I had noticed throughout the season is that KM often takes himself out of the game after 2-3 runs. I understand him needing to catch some air, however, when we have marched the ball down to the opponents 20 yard line that is not the time to take yourself out of the game. I wish he had the same attitude of another notable UGA RB that often said, "the ball ain't heavy".

Finally (for now), the defense. Okay, I know the Offense consistently put them in a bad position, however, they still made way too many mistakes and still lack the discipline necessary to win against top competition. Also, there were numerous times where our players were out of position and didn't know where they were supposed to be, which led to big plays and blown assignments.

So, where does this leave us?? This team still has the ability to finish 11-2, albeit the most disappointing 11-2 season UGA has ever had (is that possible?). UGA's goal(s) now should be to extend our win streak over Tech to 8 straight, have another 10+ win season, finish in the top 10, and play in the best bowl game possible (Capital One, Cotton, or Outback).

UGA - UF Game Analysis

Well, here we sit, 7-1 (4-1) in control of our own destiny. What a enviable position, as USCe and UT would kill to be in our place. The Dawgs and Gators have kept quiet this week as both coaches issued gag orders. However, nothing needs to be said. The winner goes on to Atlanta and has an outside shot at the MNC and the loser probably goes to the Outback Bowl to face some weak Big 10/11 squad.

As for the 800 lb. gorilla in the room that both teams have tried to ignore, nice try. My take on the Celebration is this: UF had the entire game last year to get "fired up" and get a little payback against us. However, they did not and therefore, I believe that the advantage sits squarely in Georgia's corner.

As my neighbor and I were discussing earlier tonight, this situation is very similar to something that often took place in the Spurrier Era. Every year the HBC would say or do something that would make our team and fan base mad, and the team would focus on payback for those comments or act. By focusing on the Celebration, the Gators are going to be taken out of "their game". They will be so focused on payback that they will play without control. On the other side, the Dawgs are coming in to prove that last year was not a fluke and that we can beat the "Mighty" Gators in back-to-back years.

So, without getting too much into how each unit matches up against the other I will make a couple of points.

I believe our offense, lead by the 3 (or 4 if you count MoMass) headed monster is impossible to stop. If you focus on taking one out of the game, Bobo will dial up the other and beat you with that one.

On defense, we have very fast and physical LBs. We have a strong interior defensive line, and DEs that are starting to show signs of life. The improving health of Rod Battle is key to getting pressure on Tebow. Yes, UF has more weapons this year, but I truly believe in Georgia's ability to stuff the run. Last week LSU was able to move the ball on the ground because their big O-line was able to get to the second level of our defense and put a helmet on our LBs. However, this week I believe our D-line will be able to occupy the O-line so that Rennie, Ellerbe, Dent, etc. will be able to step up and shut down the ground game. Stopping the passing game will probably be Georgia's biggest challenge. Martinez has finally made some changes in the secondary including, moving Evans over to back up Reshad Jones, and moving Prince Miller over to Evans CB spot. Hopefully these changes will help to invigorate this unit. I feel that this unit is going to come out with a chip on their shoulder ready to show the country that they can stop the Gators.

Florida definitely has an advantage on special teams. Here Georgia's mission is just to prevent the big play. Contain Brandon James and protect Mimbs and Walsh so that they can get their kicks off. Georgia has faced very solid return men the last three games and have performed well in each contest.

I believe this will be a high scoring game similar to last year's contest.
My Prediction: UGA 48 - UF 31

Comparing UGA and UF Opponents To Date...

When digging into the numbers of each of the teams competition through Week 9, there are many similarities.

Rankings of UF's Competition:
Average Scoring Offense of Opponents - 70th
Average Scoring Defense of Opponents - 60th
Average Total Defense of Opponents - 43rd
Average Total Offense of Opponents - 79th

Rankings of UGA's Competition:
Average Scoring Offense of Opponents - 71st
Average Scoring Defense of Opponents - 40th
Average Total Defense of Opponents - 37th
Average Total Offense of Opponents - 74th

UGA and UF have two common opponents to date, Tennessee and LSU. As we all know, UGA totally dominated UT, it just didn't correlate to points on the scoreboard. UF also dominated UT, but in a different fashion. UF set the tone early against UT with special teams. The most recent common opponent of the two teams is LSU. Again, both teams dominated LSU. UF did so in the "Friendly" confines of the Swamp, scoring 51 points while only surrendering 21 points. UGA beat down the Bengal Tigers in one of the most (if not most) hardest places to play in the SEC. UGA scored 52 points, while giving up 38. However, I have to say that our team looked to relax each time they got up by 3 TDs. Hopefully they realized that against the more explosive teams in the SEC you cannot take your foot off of the accelerator until the final horn sounds (or Chapel Bell)!

So, what does all of this mean??? Absolutely nothing! But hey, it gives us something to talk about until 3:30 Saturday when the two teams tee it up at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium (how many times are they going to change the name of the place?!?)

Urban Meyer on Why The Gators lost in '07

Here is another reason I do not like Urban Crier. When asked about last year's game, here is his explanation as to why the Gators lost:

"The reason we lost the game a year ago is because we were very, very poor on defense," he said. "We didn't tackle well, we were out of coverage a couple of times and we didn't protect the quarterback. It's not because the sun was a certain way, the color of shoes we wore. It was those three reasons, and if we don't fix that, we won't be successful again this year. … We were a very soft, really selfish outfit a year ago."

Huh...so it had nothing to do with Georgia being the better team, or the Dawgs just outplaying your sorry Gators?? Really?? I see.

TD

First Time Ever

Okay, so by now you have probably heard that this was the first time that a team had hung 50+ points on LSU at home in 15 years. Also, this is the first time ever that LSU gave up 50+ twice in the same year.

ESPN did a little research and here is what they found:

From the start of the AP Poll era in 1936 through last year, only two defending national champions ever gave up 50 or more points even once in a season. Both cases involved Notre Dame, and both should give plenty of hope to Florida and Georgia fans.

The only defending champs to give up 50-plus were the 1944 Notre Dame team, which lost 59-0 to Army, and the 1974 Notre Dame squad, which lost 55-24 to USC. Why is that good news for the Gators and Bulldogs? Army eventually won the 1944 national title and USC eventually won the 1974 national title. Florida and Georgia square off Saturday.

DAWGS POUND LSU: 52 - 38

Well, the Dawgs should be on their chartered flight by now headed back to Athens. They went into Death Valley and executed brilliantly on offense. The defense left a little to be desired, but hey you got to have something to work on, right? Now it is on to the Cocktail Party (Sorry Dr. Adams). Next weeks showdown is going to live up to every bit of its preseason hype. The winner moves closer to Atlanta, and stays alive in the MNC hunt!

Does Vegas "Know" Something?

Since the opening line on Monday, UGA +2.5 Pts, the line has drawn closer and closer. As of Friday night, 3 out of the 4 major sports books have reduced the line to UGA +1 Pt. Considering that the home team usually gets about 3 Pts for homefield advantage, you have to like Georgia's odds Saturday.

Summary of sports books

Interesting Factoids:

• Since 1960, LSU has won 77% of its home night games (207-59-4), compared to 48% of its home day games (21-23-3).
• UGA is 4-5-1 all-time at Tiger Stadium

ESPNU: UGA - LSU Preview

Is the LSU D Overrated??

Okay, so here we sit at the mid-point of the season and yet LSU's "dominant" defense ranks near the middle of the SEC in nearly every statistical category.

Total Defense - 9th
Scoring Defense - 9th
Rush Defense - 5th
Pass Defense - 9th

Georgia's rankings:
Total Defense - 3rd
Scoring Defense - 8th
Rush Defense - 1st
Pass Defense - 10th

Here is some additional analysis from ESPN Research:
LSU's usually dominant defense has been somewhat pedestrian through the first half of the season. The Tigers are allowing 21.5 points per game, their highest total after six games since giving up 22.0 per game in 2000 (Nick Saban's first season). LSU also has given up 28.3 points per game in its four SEC contests.

The Honorable Lou Holtz

This is a great article from the Bleacher Report written by Brian Scott. It says what most of the country feels about Holtz and his total lack of professionalism and objectivity on ESPN.

UGA vs. LSU Analysis

So, we have finally arrived...the meat of our SEC schedule is now upon us. First up, the Bengal Tigers of LSU.


This game stands to be a true dog fight. While LSU may have the advantage when it comes to the lines of scrimmage, UGA has the advantage at all of the skill positions. Georgia's young line has been more than servicable the last two weeks as they have given up ZERO sacks.


Since the 1st half of the Bama masacre, Georgia has played some of the best all around football in the league. They went out and scored 30 in the 2nd half against Bama, essentially moved the ball at will against the #1 defense (at the time) of UT, and put up great numbers against Vandy.


So, where does this leave us as we head in to Death Valley?? I believe the Dawgs are ready to breakout. I know if you are a Georgia fan you have heard, probably even said it, "remember 2007, we were mediocre through the first half then caught fire." Well, I truly believe we are in the same boat again, maybe even better this year. Going in to the UF game last year UGA was not leading the league in offense as they are this year. All they have to do is put 7's on the board instead of 3's this Saturday and if they do, they will walk out of Baton Rouge with a W.

My Prediction:

UGA 27 - LSU 13
