re: Have the once proud Georgia Bulldogs

Has Georgia been losing a lot of recruiting battles the last few years? I know they've had a lot of off-field issues resulting in dismissals, but as a marginally knowledgeable observer of UGA it seems like something is missing. There don't seem to be any Thomas Jones type players on the defense like UGA had throughout much of the 2000's. Has the resurgence of Alabama and Florida State to a lesser degree negatively impacted UGA recruiting? Are teams like South Carolina and Tennessee pushing harder for Georgia in state talent? For whatever reason it just seems like Richt has gotten stale while some of the other programs in conference have had much smoother transitions of coordinators and assistants.

It's not even that. Florida State, Tennessee, Auburn - they've always gotten guys out of Georgia and always will. For Tennessee and Auburn, it's a necessity. Alabama is going to get guys if they make the state a priority, but it isn't as important for them.

The problem is that UGA, though they've recruited well from a rankings standpoint, hasn't filled their needs well.

There are guys playing out of their natural position, and from a football IQ standpoint, it definitely shows.

Put Jones at ILB, that's his more natural position, the position he practiced at all last year, and the guy who gives you the best chance for competent play.

Having Drew, Gilliard, and Herrera on the bench while a walk on plays is just more of the same at the fans, IMO.

Samuel will not be moving back to LB...our new MLB is walk on J Suleck (Herrera & Gilliard will play) he did a great job Sat. nite....


Man....
At least it only took 1 game for the UGA Hype to end.

yea, but you guys have them beat in the "making a fool of yourself with the uniform gimmicks." Please tell me the black outs, the different combinations, new uni crap is over.

I am willing to bet we see the Pro Combats again this season.

I have alreday heard soem people predict Mullen to UGA. What say ye bulldawgs fans. (both)

This season the same laughing stock will be made out of Ole Miss and Auburn this year. The league itself is not what it's been in recent memory.

Now thats what I'm talking about!!!

Boise State fans are praying that UGA rise up from the ashes and compete in the conference. The real truth is that this UGA team is the same as last year without it's star WR. Georgia will not win the East and will probably end up tied or behind Kentucky. Richt seems more lethargic on the sidelines than Urban Meyer did last year.

That game was won by one thing... Coaching. Boise does not have better athletes, just much better coaches that given time to prepare, ran circles around the dawgs. Peterson maybe the smartest coach in cfb right now. The guy knows how to not only game plan but how to coach up a team. Hat's off to them, thumbs down to Richt.

I think that's right for the most part but would also agree with the poster who pointed out Boise has a very very good front four on D

And yes, I think Richt is on his way out at UGA - in their great run in the SEC they were much more dominant out of conference than in conference (between 2002 and maybe 2007)... they won an unbelievable percentage of their out of conference games (against BCS opponents)

UGA against OOC BCS opponents 2002-2007:

vs ACC: 10-0
vs Big 10: 2-0
vs Big 12: 2-0
vs Big East 0-1 (west va in Sugar Bowl)
vs hawaii (sugar bowl) and boise: 2-0

In the last 12 months they have lost to Colorado, Central Florida (it was UCF in the bowl game right?), and now Boise. There is no shame in losing to Boise when they are pretty good this year - but there are just no good excuses for losing to UCF and Colorado
