Barring an extremely unlikely confluence of events (something on the order of a combination of Georgia Tech shutting the Dawgs out and Mississippi State scoring 50+ in the Egg Bowl), Georgia is going to finish the 2014 regular season leading the SEC in scoring, both in conference and total. Not Texas A&M. Not Mississippi State. Not Auburn. Not South Carolina. Georgia.
Given that he’s coached with a truncated season from Todd Gurley, a quarterback who’s gotten little respect and a receiving corps that’s taken most of the year to round into physical shape, I think Mike Bobo is entitled to take a little bow.

Bobo should definitely take a bow. Well earned.
As for Mark Richt, it looks like laying his annual egg will cost us dearly, yet again, as Mizzou is poised to win out. So no chance at an SEC title, no chance to avenge our Bama 2012 loss, no chance at the playoff, all because he couldn’t get them ready for one of the worst Florida teams in 30 years. Take a bow, Mark Richt!

Tenn didn’t match up well with Mizzou – young QB vs a tough DL and pass rush. Ark does match up really well – excellent D and a pounding ground game. I think Ark can pull it off.

A few things give me pause about the MIZZ-ARK game. First, Mizzou has already beaten two teams (TAMU, UT) coming into the game with some momentum, like Arkansas will. Second, Arkansas’ QB left with an injury (not sure whether he’ll be back, or how much drop-off there is with his brother, the backup, or how much it even matters, given the Hogs’ run-first tendencies). And third, that Mizzou D-Line is playing with its hair on fire. They know that they have to shoulder the load for Mizzou to win. And as we showed, Arkansas is vulnerable to the speed rush.

Mizzou’s DEs are good at rushing the passer but only so-so against the run. Arky will run ’em to death.

I am pretty certain OSU dumped John Cooper for this reason. I think his winning % at OSU was similar to Richt’s. They hired Jim Tressel and his cheating ways. Won them a NC and an appearance in a couple of other games. He is the only one that I can think of.

Cooper was 2-10-1 against Michigan, that’s what got him fired. His overall winning percentage was .702, certainly not bad. Richt’s at .742 which is significantly higher and I don’t think anybody believe’s Richt would still be around if he had gone 2-10-1 against Georgia Tech. All told Richt is 12-1 against Tech, 9-5 against Auburn, 9-5 against Tennessee, and 5-9 against Florida. Donnan by contrast was 6-14 against those same four teams, and let’s not talk about Ray Goff.

“…a quarterback who’s gotten little respect “
I would like to think and believe that nonsense has come from a very small and idiotic minority and has not been the reaction by the majority of UGA fans this season. We’ve debated this ad nauseum to establish Hutson Mason’s likely legacy for Georgia…a DGD who did everything that was asked of him (including staying with the program, waiting his turn, working hard, and executing the offense as per his coach’s desires). Best of success to him whatever the future may entail.

I think a lot of Murray lovers don’t like the fact that he does not put the defense in impossible situations with turnovers like Murray did, repeatedly. In every big game, Murray was good for three turnovers and one was generally a pick six. Murray is/was the player version of Richt since 2007; good, but not great and loved by the fans regardless of his on field results. Great stats, but nothing of real value to show for it, again, much like Richt.
Mason is a great qb, I wish he had another year.

Your point is to do a little trolling and rile up the Murray crowd and make no mistake you can probably do that. But the facts are that Bray had an extra year in the NFL before Murray got to the Chiefs. Murray was rehabbing a blown ACL and Bray still couldn’t convincingly separate from Murray- even then. Chiefs never intended to get Murray right into the mix preferring instead to bring him along slowly. Glad Mett is getting a chance to start. It will give the earlier starter a chance to heal that thumb and ankle. Maybe he will even win a game who knows? Why the asshattery?

Tools like you bitched for years that CMR “chose AM when it was clear ZM was the winner of the spring game”. As if looking good in the spring game excuses lifting the skirt of a waitress, pinching her ass and then lying to CMR about the circumstances.
