Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

I do tend to believe that the secondary shake-up brought on by the suspension threw the Defense off somehow — and Commings was sticking to some receivers alright. The use of a mobile QB could have been problematic for UGa, I reckon. Good thing the Cheesburglar stuck with his schematic advantage.

How ironic is it that had Walsh been his old, reliant self, we would have settled for three on both those fourth and longs? I hope our coaches notice this irony and learn from it. Most of the time, it’s a better bet to gamble just a little bit more (a fg is quite a gamble now) and get a possible payoff of 7 vs 3……Kick those two and make them and what’s the score? Truely it was the Dawg’s turn to win.

Yep. Same story all season. Lousy special teams and shaky offense (at best) when we play real teams. Those two problems could cost us another game this year.
I’ve been bullish on the DEF since Boise St and I’m still drinking the D kool aid. We have the D to thank for any and all success we’ve had this year. Grantham is earning his paycheck.
I guess we’re just not that good on offense, but I honestly don’t know about the special teams issues.

Well, it’s not like Samuel finally got good.. I thought Bobo finally figured out how to deploy him. Give him a crease and have him run north / south and power through. The key being that the O-line was able to create some holes for him to run through, and he sured played hard. Made me happy to see his hard work pay off and for him to get a TD in this of all games. Hope he’s back at it soon.

+100 – as I have mentioned all year. We should not be in a spread formation when Samuel is in the game. He is a “North-South”/”downhill” RB who is 230 lbs.

No one knows yet about Crowell, but Bobo gets the credit for running Foth’s heavy body against FU’s D formations that were begging for it. The credit has to be shared with the O line since the camera angle from behind the I showed the lane open precisely as he hit it. Bobo earned his bucks and our thanks tonight. The announcers thought it was a brilliant move for all that’s worth. The TD passes were based on the fact that the FU defenders weren’t turning around; therefore Murray threw into coverage. The O play was worthy of my name tonight. They all played with large cojones.
If this team ever puts everything together in one game, no one can stop them. Oh well.

Defense looking very solid these days, offense needs to step up of we are to win out, and compete in post season. I don’t even need to say someone needs to relook our STs. Now that we have more healthy bodies available, I want to see some athletes on coverage teams.
Enjoy Dawg fans, we are going back to a double digit edge in this series. Our players are young, and very talented….and they ain’t skeered!

Nothing wrong with having a “Mr. Inside, and a Mr. Outside” is there? I have always loved RS’ dawgliness, doing whatever was needed, but now we see RSIV unplugged and….wow! With that exra gear and 230 pounds hitting the whole I have a hole new confidence about our running game. And yes, that includes what IC brings. Don’t forget, Samuel is just a Junior so we have about a season and a half to enjoy the potential for these two together. No one questions Crowell’s talent, the lesson he could learn from RS is in the area of the heart. IC does seem to be missing a lot on drives, to me he needs to have more of Richard’s “whatever it takes” attitude for the team. (I am not suggesting he play when injures, just seems to need a lot of rest fo a 19-20 year old.)
Regardless of who totes the rock, we have unleashed the new modell of RSIV, and that is likely to make the other backs better. Additionally,we have a young team that seems to be getting better despite poor blocking, and horrible STs. Now we just have to remind RSIV that we hate Auburn even more after their dirty play last year. Would love to see every single Dawg player put paw tracks all over those white unis in two weeks!

Like I said above, I hope he doesn’t come out early because of the effect on next season. Even with the defensive flaws present at that time how many more games would the Dawgs team have won in ’09 if Staff hadn’t left early? The LSU and UK games at minimum plus probably a high scoring game at UT. That’s an 11 win season we should have had that year. Pardon me for being a little paranoid.

Of course we should bench Murray, all he is doing is leading the SEC in touchdown passes. Does he occasionally have some throws that make you shake your head, yes, but he also put the ball on the money on a couple of fourth down touchdowns to give the receivers the chance to make the great plays they did and the same to Conley on the big third down pass to help run the clock out. He also ran for 40 yards and helped keep some drives alive with his legs. At his best he is one of the best in the nation, he just has to be more consistent throughout games.

I think our offense is getting a little less credit than it deserves. I get that our ST points allowed makes our D look worse than it is. But Florida’s defense came into the game ranked pretty close to ours, despite having played LSU and Bama. I get that our D gave our offense great field position, but let’s not act like our offense was terrible. It wasn’t. Murray had some bad throws, but he had some clutch throws, too. I’ll take the clutch throws when it counted over some of those admittedly bizarro misses. We were also driving the ball consistently in the final minutes – one yard shy of another TD…

Not to put too fine a point on it, but what I meant was
Our defense had an awesome day against a fairly marginal offense,
and
Our O had a “better than marginal day” against a pretty stout defense.
So both did their jobs pretty good.

And that one yard shy was a class act. Some will attempt to put a negative spin on it that it was a lack of belief in themselves and they wanted to protect the ball after they had shown the cojones to throw two TDs on 4th down. They had the time and Figgins to ram it in. I say Good Dawgs!, one and all with classy coaches to boot.

I would exchange the Dom for a good 18 yr. old single malt, but those are some mighty fine sticks you got there.

Lions versus Bronchos: 5 minutes left in 4th quarter. Tebow’s passer rating a sterling 51.5 and Matthew Stafford at 130.8. Justice is served.

And A.J was the Bengals’ leading receiver. Again.
