It’s worth noting that the Rebel Black Bears aren’t dreadful, and I mean that as a sincere compliment. Everybody – and I mean everybody – expected Mississippi to be the SEC’s worst team this season. I think I posted something in the preseason about the RBBs needing to get a win or two in September because it was hard to see when they’d get one afterwards, and yet here they are with two conference wins under their belts and a legitimate shot at making a bowl game. That ain’t bad.
However, a little perspective is in order here. Ole Miss hasn’t beaten a team with a winning record, although it had a chance to do so with Texas A&M. It’s been pesky more than threatening against better opponents (check out the defensive split stats against teams with winning and losing records). Although you have to admire any approach that gets under Saban’s skin the way Freeze’s offense did.
If there’s a danger for Georgia this Saturday, I don’t think it’s so much about coming out flat – although Seth Emerson’s column about emotion is worth a read, I think the crowd and the national broadcast will help combat that – as it is about maintaining patience on both sides of the ball. Ole Miss is going to get some yardage and some points, most likely, but it’s important for Georgia’s defenders to play good assignment football and to be as opportunistic as they were against Florida. As David Ching notes about quarterback Bo Wallace,
Wallace is fifth in the SEC in total offense at 239 yards per game, but he has also made his share of mistakes in his first season as the Rebels’ starting quarterback — as evidenced by his 10-9 touchdown-interception ratio. The Bulldogs need to rein him in as a runner like they did against Florida’s Jeff Driskel and pressure him into errors that will make a victory easier to achieve.
Defensively, Ole Miss, which has some talent, but is both young and a little on the smallish side, seems tailor-made for what Mike Bobo likes to call: pound ’em hard with Gurley, Marshall and the running game and use that to set up play action. The good thing here is that Bobo showed in the Florida game that he knows he’s got a good enough horse to ride with his freshmen running backs to stay with them.
If you want to talk about the psychology of the game, I think Ching gets this right:
Ole Miss is a program that is only learning how to win under a new coaching staff. The Bulldogs need to break their will early in this game. Alabama jumped out to a 27-6 halftime lead and was able to cruise to a win, but Texas A&M fell behind in Oxford and had to battle back in the fourth quarter to win. The Rebels are capable of winning this game if Georgia doesn’t come to play.

Here’s the deal – I can get critical that we haven’t always played up to our potential or beat enough good teams over the last few year. I think that’s a legit stat and a legit concern, and something the team and coaches have to wear.
However, it’s not fair to CMR to say, well, TN, Auburn, Tech, etc are having down years in their program, and that’s why you’ve been beating them. Because CMR has kept UGA from *becoming* those teams. So yeah, he gets credit for the fact that in 10+ years we’ve NEVER had downswings anywhere close to what those programs are experiencing.
In years like last year, where CMR’s Dawgs are not competitive against the class of the league, you can hardly brush off the fact that we still beat 80% of the league. So yes, that “reasoning” is very sound, and it is often overlooked that for most of his tenure and for the last 14 months or so, CMR has gone about 16-0 or whatever against teams Georgia was really favored against. That is hard to do, and he deserves credit for it – these Dawgs may not pull off a lot of upsets, but they aren’t often upset, either.

(I did, and you’re right – – what was posted wasn’t smack. Poor choice of words on my part.)
I am sticking to my original point, which regarded the dangers of looking past or not giving due credit to Ole Miss. I believe the “First Thoughts” post does just that. So sue me. OM is 2-2 in the SEC (with a road win that was pretty surprising) and their hurry-up made Saban cry. If we (team or fans) don’t maintain focus on the immediate objective, things can happen. Bad things. Gamecock-type bad things. I am certainly guilty of being Munsonesque when it comes to this style of approaching games, but I don’t see the downside to remaining cautious for now. Truth be told, where others see the final four regular season games as gimmes toward a date in Atlanta, I see four potential trap games against longtime rivals for whom derailing a UGA shot at the top would be a dream come true.
I’m also sticking to my point that the Gators are a good, not great team. Of course, I only see two great teams on this last day of October: Bama and Oregon, and neither has been much tested yet. We (UGA) have been tested – – three times (I include the Mizzou game because of the unique circumstances) and are 2-1. That’s good, not great too. But this team still CAN be great – – one game at a time. It’s certainly the most talented offensive/defensive combo I can recall in Athens in many moons. Jacksonville was a terrific start.
How my expression of worry got turned into supposed incrimination of CMR, I don’t know. He has long been and remains (along with Jarvis) the cheese, pickle, onion and mustard on the steamily delicious Krystal burger that is my Dawg fandom.

I simply felt his original post wasn’t so unreasonable to get sharp responses. With recognition that everyone has different ways of dealing with caution or confidence for unplayed games, it is fair to say this team has only played solidly on both sides of the ball and with emotion in 2 of our 8 games. Now that we have a ranking that inspires a chance for a great memory for the weaker teams, we have to accept we will get the best effort from all the remaining teams.
You acknowledge the “any given Saturday” truism; add the closeness of Auburn’s play at home against LSU earlier this season, and the unorthodox Ole Miss offense and expressing some concern is fair. Not saying that you dismissed it, only that everyone knows what we are capable of but we have 4-5 WTF games already. The team needs to know it only takes one more to spoil what they have going. I think we win them all, but can easily accept why these two conference games need to have caution flags posted. Too much riding on them. I am glad the Ole Miss game is at home, we spent a lot of emotion last week and may need a boost in the 2nd half.

Hi MSC,
I think you ought to keep posting and not just be a lurker. I agree with you that we need to keep our intensity up this week, and I do think a lot of the writers don’t give Ole Miss *quite* enough credit. That said, I still don’t think they’re there yet, and I still think UGA handles this one reasonably handily.
By the way, I didn’t think you were being anti-CMR, I was trying to point out that the line of reasoning is this – regardless of how ugly we play against some inferior teams, we do beat them, and we tend to beat them every time. I’ll roughly define an “inferior team” as one that Vegas says we’re supposed to beat by, say, 8 or so points or more. So there is a real trend and a statistical reason to think we’ll beat Ole Miss this weekend beyond just the spread, so it’s not quite right to say “good luck with that one”.
And from there I was just pointing out how CMR doesn’t get credit for the fact that for the last 18 or 20 or so games (since UCF) Georgia has not lost to a team it was supposed to beat, and that’s not something we ought to take for granted – but you never hear that stat. Did not meant to pin that POV on you.

Agree, Ole Miss has the type of offense that has always given us fits so it could be an ugly win. Defense will have to be disciplined or we will see some drives extended on 3rd and longs. Those aggravate me the most. I do think the defense has to be enjoying their new-found fame and will play better the rest of the way, Saturday’s defensive performance was very impressive and some of our young pups grew up.
The plan to pound the ball is a solid one against a smallish defense but Bobo still needs to take whatever they give us, regardless of the advance plan. Kentucky stacked the box and got a heavy dose of AM, same could be the right way to attack the Rebels if they leave that door ajar. If we do find a power running approach is best, I still don’t see why Boo isn’t a part of that plan. He could be part of a three-headed running attack where each RB has a different skill set and should be utilized, imo. I am as excited as anyone about the two freshmen but I favor using all our weapons. If we see a Bama/LSU front in Atlanta, he may be the best option in situations.

This is a good, strong and rising Rebel team, I am concerned that their QB and receivers will be kinda UTish on us, and do not expect the same level of intensity as the Cocktail Bowl.

Granted, 2 of those were OOC cupcakes, but one was Ky, which often gives us fits (killed ’em in ’04), so there’s no compelling evidence of a post Gator win drop off, at least in the Richt era (I will NOT revisit what happened in ’97).
So this Dawgfan guesses this: our D will play better than UT-SC-KY, not as well as vs. UF, but it won’t matter too much because our O will be on, on, on. Ole Miss will get some points, but we may double ’em up.

The Rebs are not the kind of team you want to be playing at this time of the season for the Dawgs. CMR was not happy about Tuesday’s practice. Freeze and staff are very good. Some preason guys picked them not to be much of a factor. Guess they were not smart or they are slowly realizing the Rebs are very productive [think that is the word CMR used]. Their offense can move the ball. Their QB really does not care about his completions to interceptions ratio. Neither do their coaches in that offense. The reason he runs the show is his ability to move the chains, create downs and space, and put points on the board.
Maybe their D is not Florida. But let’s go back to the UF game and revisit the O. 4 times in that game the Dawgs started downs inside the Gators 45 and 3 of those times inside the 26. 10 points and 6 turnovers from the boys from Florida. Florida’s D played very well against the Dawgs offense. Carolina played better. And UK, well they made it very interesting.
So I offer this question, where in hell is the Dawgs offense, lately? If the Rebs jump out to a 10- 17 point range on the Dawgs D, well, they are going to be in a shot-out with them. Not good. Can not get behind and play from behind. Neither can you get out front, coast, and let them get back in the game where they are a play or two from winning. Why? Well, their QB has the skills and mindset to win. Do not care what their record has been. They were 3-3, but now have two wins in a row. They are comfortable in their offense. 8 games in and they have confidence in their O…big time.

I know that is a lot but some of the above is bound to happen. Oregon hasn’t really played anyone good yet. K-State hasn’t really either (we now know that WV and Oklahoma were pretenders, not contenders). The teams that ND beat were thought to be good when they played ND, but now have been exposed (Michigan, Michigan State, etc.).
