the O line for 2012 will be laden with talent but untested. No doubt Friend can coach em up. Takes time and real game experience for them to gel and become a unit. Mizzou will be a major test early on.....and they will need a confidence boost early on also......a 4th and 1 or 2 can be a major boost for this unit..and with the talent of our incoming RB's 4th and 1 or 2 should be a no brainer....but CMR/Bobo team will go for the FG and give them no confidence early on

hahaha No Thanks Buc. I don't mean to be so negative but until the coaches show me that they are playing to WIN I will continue to be critical

Maybe I am wrong ogredawg, don't take your posts to be critical. From my point of view, more in the constructive thinking department. Nothing wrong with each of us posting what we as individuals see. Not like we are going to some of the blogs and banging on others, we are putting personal thoughts out for those on this UGA board to agree or disagree with. Gets fiesty sometimes, but that usually takes care of itself in time.
Crossed fingers for Josh . . . . reminds me of Jake Scott from back in the day. He will have the fans in Sanford Stadium roaring when he begins playing on Saturdays. What a great help he could also be with the talent coming from your high school in the future and there is a lot of that residing year after year in Lowndes County. Getting closer Brother . . . .

averagedawg, I really hope that I have gotten the right impression from McGarity. If I have gotten the message that I think he sent, he will tighten the screws another round this coming season. There is not a doubt in my mind that our Athletic Director did not like the outcome of the Outback Bowl. For more than one reason. Any way that I slice the pie, I keep coming back to either mistakes or miscues in the recruiting process. I believe that if Friend has the talented players to coach, he will do his job and do it very well.
At this point in my way of thinking, if the offensive line is only thirty percent or so better than last season, this group of returning backs and receivers will be hard for most teams to stop. Still boils down to the young men that do the dirty work on every play, no time off on the line of scrimmage.
Buc, I really HOPE the OL is 30% better but think with the inexperience we have on the OL, we might actually be worse........at least through the 1st half of the season. The second half of the season and 2013, the OL should be very good.......Friend certainly has his work cut out for himself.
Let's hope we have some great focus and improvement during the spring.

wlayton, guess I am trying to say much the same things you are. These young puppies need a considerable amount of time to get to "know each other". Physically, there is talent ready to play, just that mental part that is so important. Sure hope that Ben's understudy left him in a favorable position at center. Supposedly there is some of that "attitude" that Ben had remaining in Athens.
Said in another thread that I am worried at this point about Avery Young, lots of talk down south about Miami. I was/am hoping that Theus and Young would come in together and go through Spring with Friend. If the running game starts moving forward, this could as you say be a better than average offensive line by the end of the season. Friend has to have a much better feel of the talent he has around him with another year under his belt. Read elsewhere that Theus said he is ready, left or right tackle. For sure Theus is coming to play, that is heartening. This offensive line could be a huge surprise before the year is over.
Edit: Also read somewhere that Theus and Marshall would be rooming together. Like that a lot.

UGA places Commings on probation, orders community service, anger management
ATHENS — Sanders Commings has reached an “informal resolution” with the University of Georgia in the wake of his domestic violence arrest last month.

The school conducted its own independent investigation after Commings was arrested on Jan. 21 and charged with domestic violence/simple battery. Commings was determined to have “engaged in physical abuse, physical intimidation, coercion and/or other conduct that...

UGA not only football program dealing with domestic violence issues
ATHENS – I was traveling yesterday when UGA announced it had decided on a two-game suspension for starting cornerback Sanders Commings at the start of next season.
Even though Georgia coach Mark Richt has avoided commenting on the subject so far, a spokesman told me Richt decided on the two games Wednesday after a series of meetings with Commings and conducting his own investigation into the matter. Commings, 21, was arrested by UGA police on Jan. 21 and charged with domestic violence/simple battery for allegedly hitting his former girlfriend.
Commings is scheduled for a March 22 arraignment before...

Georgia CB Sanders Commings gets 2-game suspension
Georgia starting cornerback Sanders Commings has been suspended from the first two games of the 2012 season by coach Mark Richt as a result of Commings’ arrest last month.
