I hope your top tier team enjoys watching our "mid-level" team play in the dome.

I guess what's happened in the past is what is always going to continue to happen...
I don't like most Alabama and LSU fans because no matter how they play or who they lose to, they are always better.
Alabama should have 2 losses right now, LSU gave up a late td drive. That should have been Bama's wake up call, but what did they do, came out the next week and got beat by a very talented freshman QB.
I'm by no means saying its going to be a one sided game, but as a faithful UGA fan I'm getting pissed off with the lack of recognition along with complete disregard for the fact that Georgia, CMR and Aaron Murray all deserve to play for the SEC championship. And if we win, also deserve to play for the National Championship!
Bama has not won the west yet. Talk about couting chickens before they hatch. Look at Oregon and Kstate last week. They thought they were in the BCSNCG.

I didn't go to UGA, I go to Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia Canada. My father moved to Huntsville 12 years ago, I didn't even know that college football existed but I started watching because it's a way of life in the south. I don't know why or how I started pulling for UGA but I did. I have been a huge fan ever since, I live and breathe SEC football every Saturday, am I not a worthy fan because my degree is from somewhere else...?

HAHAHA, Funny that this "Mid Level" program has gone 2-2 against the almighty LSU Tigers since Miles took over. Do some research before you bring that weak sauce bullshite

Who ever stated what your record was against LSU jackass!! I said you will always be a mid-level SEC team as long as Richt is your coach. That has nothing to do with what your record is against Les Miles! You know it's true just like everyone else. Your team chokes in big games! It sucks but its the truth. Deal with it! The last 2 yrs you have dodged the 3 best teams in the SEC. Had you played LSU,BAMA,& A&M you would not only have 1 loss right now!
Posted on 11/20/12 at 1:10 pm to jddawg58
Not worried. CMR is 3-1 against Bama.
Posted on 11/20/12 at 1:13 pm to TigerFan2211
LSU, Bama and A&M dodged us!
Go Dawgs!!
Go Dawgs!!

Would not being able to cross mid field until the start of the second half qualify as choking in a big game?
If so, frick you, frick your mother, and then go frick your cousin/wife (IDK what you are calling her these days)

B-b-b-b-but, Les Miles is a .500 coach against THAT "mid-level" team.
But hey, I tip my hat to the corndogs and that awesome win over Auburn. Impressive! And...and...and... y'all just barely lost to Flarda. Of course, y'all just barely beat Ol Miss too.

Kinda like LSU vs Bama the last 2 times y'all played???
Gotta hand it to y'all, when you frickin' choke you do it on the big stage. CBS Saturday night at home with the whole world watching, or in the BCSNCG. Talking about epic chokes...
2007 is getting smaller in your rearview mirror every year.

Then why has Richt been so successful in his career? He's won the east 5 times (which averages out to just about every other year that he's coached), the SEC twice (could change in 2 weeks), been to 3 BCS bowls, finished in the top 10 over half the years he's coached (finshing in the top 3 twice so far), and has the following records against our biggest rivals, in order:
GT: 10-1
UF: 4-8
AU: 8-4
UT: 8-4
SC: 7-4
Not to mention he has one of the best career winning percentages of any coach in the country. You can say "he'll never win a national title at UGA", and that's fine. I can see why people think that. But to say he's "mid level" and we can't win big games is just mind bogglingly stupid.

That is what happens when you get thrashed by South Carolina.

The issues that most concern me regarding this game are:
1) Can Georgia's offensive line handle Hubbard, Mosley, and Williams?
Earlier this year, Georgia faced an excellent and excited South Carolina D-line that took over that game. However, Georgia's offensive line also faced Florida's D-line, which is more similar to Bama's and did not allow a sack. I am hopeful that the more recent result against Florida is indicative of the O-line that comes to Atlanta but concerned that a true freshman right tackle, Theus, and junior college left tackle, Beard, will face a Saban designed pressure/blitz system.
2) Will Georgia be able to stop the run without bringing additional help into the box?
If Georgia is forced to step Rambo/S. Williams down, the probability that a receiver breaks free becomes a major issue. However, I am certain that D.J. Fluker will have his lunch eaten by J. Jones or J. Jenkins during this game. He doesn't appear to have very quick feet, when facing an elite edge rusher.
3) Will Georgia make another special teams mistake?
Last year's SEC championship game turned on poor special teams play and coaching. This year Georgia has one of the poorest special teams units in the conference. Georgia cannot return punts, cannot hit extra points, cannot trust its punt return team (ask Ace Sanders), and does not flip the field with its punter. If Georgia loses this game, it would not surprise me that a special teams mistake caused the loss.

After SC I would have said we're the worst in the country. They've played much better though since the loss.

Georgia cannot return punts
Agree, although Mitchell has the potential to. A lot of times we fair catch it though which hasn't really seemed to hurt us.
quote:
cannot hit extra points
The last one he missed was UK, I believe he's hit 19ish in a row. Seems to me whatever issues he's had have been corrected.

Outside of 1 PR that we gave up for a score, has anyone had a long PR on us? Idk so I'm genuinely asking. I feel like we haven't really given up much other than that one.

Really? Have you seen our punting lately? Against AU we dropped like 3 inside the 10 yard line. Our punters have been doing very well in November.

And that punt return had one of the most egregious block in the back I've ever seen. But I digress..

I watched Morgan warm up after halftime at AU, and he missed a 25 yard attempt by at least 20'. I have no confidence that his issues are completely behind him. I do, however, like the range he provides (a long of 52), especially in a dome, and his improvement is promising.
As for punting, Georgia is 13th in the conference in net punt average at 35.8 yards per punt and 12th at 40.6, if you use average punt. In contrast, Alabama is 7th in net punting at 39.1 and 5th in average punt at 43.9. To make matters worse, Georgia is 13th in punt return average at 6.7 yards per return, compared with 6th for Alabama at 10.2. While Barber has done better, his average suggests that he is not flipping field position. Further, punts inside the 20 are not indicative of the ability to boom a punt that flips field position.
As for fair catching punts, which was caused by Mitchell's inability to handle them, Georgia is giving up opportunities for big plays and 5-10 yards of field position. Over the course of the game, those yards add up and force the offense to drive that much further. I agree that it has not been an issue, yet, but given the talent on this team (Scott-Wesley, Marshall, Gurley, King, Connley), Richt should use special teams as an opportunity to win games.
When Ace took that punt back 70 yards, it put UGA down 21-0 and allowed USCe's defense to pin their ears back and dominate. Last week, Beckham took a punt 89 yards and changed the LSU v. OM game. Last year, Mathieu changed the Arkansas and UGA games for LSU. If you believe fair catching is the answer, then you are completely eliminating a phase of the game that results in electrifying, back breaking scoring opportunities. Alabama has not eliminated punt returns from its arsenal of weapons used to win games, and that is an advantage for them.
I want Georgia to win but would not be surprised if special teams caused UGA problems.

Bama wins, cause our QB is 22-2 as a starter.
(5-2 v ranked teams.)
Aaron Murray is 1-10 as a starter v ranked teams.
