Dig in, folks.
- If you’ve got questions about Coach Tereshinski’s goals as the S & C coach, go talk to Arthur Lynch.
- Expect to see this story get waved in our faces over the next week.
- ESPN‘s Edward Aschoff puts two Georgia offensive linemen on his SEC division all-star team. The only other school that gets the same treatment is Alabama. (By the way, the issue with eating at the Varsity ain’t about getting bloated.)
- The Zooker sure can pick ’em.
- See if you can spot the Freudian slip here. (My apologies – and admiration – to Low if that was a deliberate pun.)
- Shakin the Southland runs an analysis of SEC football attendance from a Clemson perspective.
- Check out Georgia recruit Quayvon Hicks’ new trim. (h/t Bryan Fischer)
- Hard to believe, but Georgia played a road game against VMI, of all schools, in 1966.
- This is hugely good news for Tennessee.
- And kleph charts SEC offensive and defensive red zone production. Mike Bobo comes off pretty well.

No, that’s not the way it’ll happen. He’ll put it in, rip the other side up with it… and then he’ll substitute out, run Carlton Thomas up the middle a couple of times and let the opponent back in the game.
But at least the offense will be balanced.

If Lynch really is going to be a monster on the line of scrimmage, we could design some unbalanced line formations for him. Add Charles at tight end, Figgins at h-back and Jenkins at fullback and you’ve got a terrifying array of options.
Not that I’m holding my breath. When was the last time we saw a really creative formation (or even a creative call) from Bobo?

Bobo had plenty of good, creative calls against Florida, Auburn and Tech last season.
His problem isn’t that he can’t be creative and productive calling plays. It’s that he doesn’t trust his own judgment enough to stick with things when they’re working.

Absolutely. The amount of talent on this team is nearly immeasurable. Reminds me of the 99 and ’00 teams that were LOADED and just needed the right leader/coach to mold them. I’d like to see Richt push this team to their potential – it would be something scary to see them overachieve. And if he can’t get it done then whomever McGarity hires (not some absurd search committee comprised of idiot, entitled donors) will have a pantry overflowing with tremendous athletes. And to think, should Richt do well this year (win 10), next year should bode even better talent-wise.

I really love good play action football and O designs that drag safeties out of position. They had to respect the run leading to a one deep and then the TE who you have to respect does a simple drag over the middle. Giving AM the option, deep if one on one, or underneath if the safety drops into coverage.

Three open receivers on that play (two TEs and AJ) – and Murray goes for the TD. Nice.

Seeing this just upsets me more. The Dawgs could have won that game if CMR and CMB don’t chicken out and instead keep the gas pedal pushed to the floor.

yeah i won’t forgive bobo for that one. i’ve always wanted some way to inform bobo that a 3 and out takes less time than a quick drive most of the time and that scoring sets your defense up for success more than a 3 and out does regardless of how little time you took to score.

I disagree, the problem was we could not block Fairly enough. I know he cheap shotted AM quite a few times. But the fact is, after that burst of Scoring, Fairly became a serious problem for the line to block. And once Malzahn figured out what we were doing against him, he was able to direct Cam in what needed to be done. Plus Cam’s just crazy ass talent.

I don’t disagree that there were coaching adjustments made by Auburn. That happens in every game. What happened in THIS game was that neither team could stop the other, then CMR/CMB blinked and Auburn got ahead forcing UGA out of its gameplan. The game really turned on 2 plays. The first was when Auburn onside kicked, recovered and then went on to score. The second was when UGA was faced with 4th and about 2 deep in Auburn territory and CMR/CBB kicked a field goal. That allowed Auburn to score a TD on its next possession and go up in the game 11 points which took UGA out of its normal offense. As for Fairley, if the UGA coaches had any guts when Fairley started playing dirty and hitting our QB late (going at his knees, etc.) the OL should have been double teaming Fairley on every down and going at HIS knees until the Aubies either took him out of the game or he was laying in a heap on the field. People won’t respect you if you do like UGA did in that game–just took it. That game was another reason I fell off the CMR band wagon–not the fact that they lost–the fact that he just took it without any retaliation. I hope he learned from this. But I doubt he did.

Have to take the Lynch interview with a grain of salt. I’ve read far too many such stories about how one of our guys “is going to be a beast”. If our combined TEs catch 45 passes/8 TDs, I’d consider it a good year. That’s less than 4 catches/1 TD pr game. 60 receptions/12 TD’s might earn the title “beasts”.

I see Lynch moving to a OL position. The best OL guys around started at TE. Some TE are not quick enough to be a great TE but are much quicker (i.e. foot work) than most OL. If they can carry the weight they usually end up making a lot of money at the next level.
