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

Congratulations to the Dawgs on the huge win. Even with all the defense’s warts, they made stops when it needed to, but enough can’t be said about how brilliantly Murray and the offense played, and about Coach Richt’s aggressive calls early to set the tone and give us a lead. Awesome, awesome game. This ranks high on my list of favorite wins of the the Richt era.

I did not think they’d win this game, and kept expecting they’d find a way to lose. I couldn’t be happier to be wrong.
Our O looked great (though I can’t understand how the line could look so bad last week and so good today). That said, SC’s defense was not impressive. At all. And, other than that miraculous 4th down stop, neither was ours. If I wasn’t so drained, I would have laughed when Richt told Holly Rowe after the game, “They’re young. They don’t know what they’re doing yet.”

That was a great quote. I heart CMR.

“…I can’t understand how the line could look so bad last week and so good today…” Last week they played away in a very loud stadium where the Georgia O had to go to a silent snap count. The Clemson D timed the silent snap count. Clemson’s defensive line got the jump on the Dawgs’ O-line on almost every play. Anybody who says that there is no such thing as home field advantage when it comes to UGA football is FOS. (Senator, I’m looking right at you.)

I have to agree with you Mayor. No UGA team ever would have won in Columbia last year. But many would have taken out the tigers last week.

Murray CAN win a big one eh? Can’t wait till the trolls try to find some way to minimize this. Without the drops he is 20 of 23 at worst, made great decisions looked fearless. Of course Gurley Marshall Hicks and Douglas rocked as did the o line. Give Bobo credit too, great game plan and Richt gets kudos for going on 4th and the onside kick. Just need the D to mature and it could be a great year. AND THE GATORS LOST! How great is that?

Nobody was happier than me to see AM get that monkey off his back with an incredible performance tonight, but that doesn’t mean people who took note of his frustrations before tonight were always either wrong or meanspirited about it – some of us – probably most of us – are big AM fans and were exasperated in large part because we like him so much and wanted him to do well personally, win or lose. But we can all celebrate tonight.

Murray was UNBELIEVABLE tonight. If it weren’t for the drops (one each by JSW, McGowan, Lynch, Reggie Davis, and Bennett) he would’ve been 22-23. I don’t remember the other incompletions. Tonight Murray was perfect. The game plan was great. Bobo called a great game and we had a good plan to neutralize #7. Tailbacks were amazing, especially Gurley (142 total yards). How good is Hicks, too?
Langley has a ways to go in coverage, especially in zone. Maybe we’ll see some of Wiggins next week. Good to see Corey Moore and JHC back on the field. This defense has the talent, but the secondary needs a lot of coaching and experience. We were VERY close to 2-0 and possibly ranked #1. Now, let’s heal up and go win 12 more.

Just for reference, the other incompletion was an overthrow out of the back of the end zone in the first half

Me, I’m not upset UGA didn’t punch in another score at the end of that brutal, beautiful, clock eating drive to end the game. I’m upset that we weren’t throwing it in the end zone with under a minute left, going for 2 after the score, recovering another onside kick on the ensuing kickoff, and then calling time out so we could kick a 50 yard FG on the last play of the game.
It’s not like the ol’ Ball Sack would hesitate to do it to us.
Other than that, yes, please. Props to AM, Bobo and the offense, and credit the D with making a play on the goal line when it mattered.

What a great game! I am curious as to what will be the new “Quote of the Day,” as there are so many gems from which to pick.
“It was a good tail-kicking,” Spurrier said. “Give Georgia credit. They ran it right down our throat. (Former Georgia coach) Vince Dooley probably has a smile on his face the way they played today.”
“We were tired of hearing about [Clowney],” Georgia center David Andrews said. “You don’t like seeing his highlights against you on ESPN. But we didn’t fear anyone, and we weren’t scared of anyone.
“We knew if we kept pounding them that we could make them quit, and that’s what we tried to do all game.”
“It’s just no fun to be 0-2 and 0-1 in the league and hoping somebody gets beat and looking at the gauntlet ahead of you,” Richt explained.
“You know it’s bad when you’re rooting for Florida,” said Lynch, referring to the predicament the Bulldogs faced last season following the loss to South Carolina. “You want to be able to control your destiny in every aspect, and we can say that right now in the East.”
“It was pretty obvious Georgia was the stronger of the two teams out here today,” South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said. “We couldn’t stop them.”
I like our chances against LSU and we ought to demolish Florida in every sense of the word.

Made it even sweeter. the SC fans were the the most obnoxious and over confident visiting fans I have ever seen. The look of utter shock on their faces leaving the stadium was priceless. I just got home and I told my wife that this game was the most fun I’ve ever had in Sanford Stadium. That place was LOUD and the boys responded. go Dawgs.

I was listening to some people from SC on a sports talk show on Friday. It was obvious that the thought that SC could lose didn’t exist in their under-sized craniums. They started celebrating the win right after the Georgia Clemson game ended. They honestly are the most dilusional fan base in the South. They need to start worrying about the post-SOS era. You know Spurrier looks at the talent and youth on the Georgia squad and knows he might not win his pet game again for a long, long time..He just might hang it up soon.

USCe is facing another, more immediate problem, IMO. The Ol’ Ball Sack isn’t getting any younger. I think he’s close to 70. Even before he leaves, how many top recruits are going to want to go to South Carolina when it is obvious that Spurrier isn’t going to be there much longer. The real reason behind FSU’s decline wasn’t that Bobby Bowden couldn’t coach any more or that he didn’t have quality assistants. It was that top players wouldn’t go there because they feared as soon as they showed up on campus Bowden would leave and they would have to endure a coaching change, maybe even have to transfer. I see the same in Spurrier’s future, and soon. This probably was his best chance to win an SEC Championship and play in the BCSNCG. Gone, gone, gone, between the hedges–the real Death Valley where, paraphrasing Les Miles, “Old Coaches dreams come to die.”

Good ONE GAME for AM. He’s had games like this before, usually against Auburn. Threw quick passes, scrambled away from easy sacks, and didn’t turn the ball over. All stuff he should have been doing for the last 3 years.
But it’s ONE GAME. AM usually tanks after games like this, so don’t get excited until he strings together TWO IN A ROW against great teams.
And don’t forget, the defense held South Carolina to 30 points, got a goaline stop, and forced and recovered a fumble, and Richt gave it to Gurley 30 times.
