Stat of the day

Not bad for a walk on…

… but not exactly a ringing endorsement of UGA’s rich tradition at quarterback, either.

    We are the Chicago Bears of the CFB, the bears have never had a 4k yard passer in their history.

    Combine it with JT’s stats and you get to 3,500+ yards, 36 TDs and 10 INTs. If one QB had those stats through the entire season, no one would be questioning the QB position. Just my $.02.

    Surprising. I would have thought Murray would have done it in 2013 but I guess injuries derailed him. Also figured Mason would have done it given the points scored in 2014.

    The irony is that UGA at one time did have a rich quarterbacking tradition. when John Rauch finished his UGA career he was the NCAA’s all time passing leader. A few years later Zeke Bratkowski broke his record and finished his UGA career as the new NCAA all time passing leader. Fran Tarkington, of course, was the NFL’s all time leader in passing yards, passing completions and passing TDs when he retired. Larry Rakestraw set the all time single game yardage record. All these college records have since been broken, but at one time held by UGA QBs. Georgia was know for innovative passing offenses.
    What happened? We hired as a head coach a guy who had been not much of a passing QB in his own college career. Everybody knows that Zeier and Murray set career SEC records.

    Zeier might be the best pure passer Ga has ever had. Every D knew that we would run the same 3 pass plays 50 times during a game and Zeier would hit covered receivers over and over. Our D sucked, our coaching staff sucked and he was still great.
    Also, he was a very nice guy. I hope he still is.

        Yep. Great guy. Ran into him when he was playing and there was no “I’m the star qb” attitude at all. He had that swagger when he was playing tho.

        Its a shame he had a bit of a sophomore slump when he had the best compliment of backs, receivers and defense he was going to have at Georgia. It was really an embarrassment of riches on offense: Hearst, Hastings, Mack, Mitchell and Eric had 12 tds and 12 ints in 1992… fuck me…

        We really shoulda woulda coulda played bama in Birmingham in the inaugural seccg. I won’t claim we would have won, but it would have been epic.

          The 1992 Dawgs are one of the best teams we’ve ever put on the field. They deserved a better fate. 2 points to Spurrier and a field goal to Tennessee. Brutal.

            Yeah that was tough. Bobo came in a saved the day with a couple of strikes as I recall. Same thing happened to Murray two decades later and once again the back up came in and got it done.

      Wayne McDuffie was a hell of an offensive coordinator during that time. The problem was we had Richard Bell and the Swamp Fox Marion Campbell on the other side.

        There is a pretty big difference between what we had in 1991-92 and 93-94.

        People forget, or don’t know, that we only gave up 15 tds in 1992. Thats pretty damn good. Of course, HALF of those were in close losses to UT and UF.

        After Hearst declared early we became chuck and duck his last two years and it was UGLY…

          My only point is that Bell’s defenses found a way to break at the wrong time.

              Thank you for posting that. I watched the whole thing, lol. It was my last year in the redcoats and I remember how intense that game was and it was my last game over there so I was pretty emotional.

              After the game out in the fields the redcoats had to stay in tight formation with the women inside, people were attacking us. One of the trombone players had to drop his trombone on the ground and an AU fan actually ran over it, forcing his vehicle through the middle of the band. It was nuts.

    Mr. EE,
    Mcduffie would have been a great NFL OC. Our D sucked so bad, I guess we had to throw the ball 50 times a game (score fast) to have any chance. A better D would have been great for Zeier
    (great for the whole team). I am not throwing the whole problem on McDuffie. Ray was the head man and that says all you need to know concerning my fillings about Goff A fish rots from the head.

      I’m only making the point that the total staff didn’t suck. McDuffie brought the Georgia offense out of the “toss sweep is a pass play” era. He did it pretty darn well. Without Wayne McDuffie, there is likely no EZ.

    I’d rather a QB take us to Atlanta and beyond than to the Heisman ceremony.

      The only good aspect of having someone on the team win the Heisman award is the potential recruiting benefits. Otherwise, I could give a rat’s ass about the thing.

    Considering in 2012 we were throwing a lot more and our starter played most of the snaps except against cupcakes I was say it is not bad at all.

    Helps when a qb plays in 15 games, but I could care less of he threw just -17 yards & still won us a natty.
