Never gets old.
I admit I’m a little ticked we never got to welcome ol’ Geoff between the hedges. But I’ll get over it, probably well before the end of the first quarter, if the game today goes the way I expect. Statistically, on the offensive side especially, it’s a brutal mismatch, as Josh indicates.
Defensively, he describes them as improving since Key took over. (Hint: see low bar for improvement.) One area where the Jackets are doing well statistically is turnover margin. For the season, the Jackets are +11 in that department, good for seventh nationally. Bottom line, though, Tech has a big mountain to climb to make this game competitive.
I don’t think motivation will be an issue today. It’s senior day. The team is on the cusp of another undefeated regular season. Plus, this:
“It is important to me because it is important to the people that back me while I am out there on the field,” Smith said this week. “I want to be able to win for myself, the seniors, the rest of my teammates and the coaches, but especially Coach Smart. I know what this means to him.”
In addition to Smart, Smith hears a lot about Tech from his position coach, Will Muschamp, who played safety for the Bulldogs from 1991-94. In fact, Georgia could send a complete unit onto Dooley Field on Saturday with staffers who participated in this game while they were attending UGA. That group would include receivers coach Bryan McClendon, tight ends coach Todd Hartley and offensive analyst Mike Bobo.
The spirit of Erk lives today. Dawgs, big. No mercy, Kirby.

Every running back stiff arms opponents face masks with impunity..but today they call it on a long Georgia run. Calls you never see.
