AllDawgs5, for the past month or so have tried to get a handle on Mark Richt. Whether the outcome this season will be any different, don't know. I do know that Richt is doing some things differently, whether that results in wins, don't know. This could be a very good year for Mark Richt as a head coach, or it could just as easily . . . . fill in the blanks.

This UGA Football Team has as much talent as I have seen in a very long time, maybe more talent than I have ever seen. Big statement, it is however only a guess, season starts Saturday night in Columbia.

Buffalo game is a thing of the past, Missouri Tigers are looking us dead in the eye. Can't remember when I have been this excited about an unranked opponent that is lying in wait for the Red and Black. These are the games that move a program forward.

Latest AP results . . . UGA dropped 2 notches in the ratings. Like it or not, that is what "messing around" can do to a team. I will be greatly surprised if the Red and Black do not come out flying Saturday. Could lead to a lot of flags early, hope not, again, let them play.

Another thought . . . . UCF in Memphis. That still remains in my thoughts at a time like this. Teams like UCF, Buffalo and others don't care what the media has to offer. These young fellows just play football to their capabilities. It will always be a team game.

I have been away for awhile, good to catch up.
My two cents,,,,,, First game are not necessarily an indicator of a team's success. We got the W.
Maybe, just maybe, the Georgia running game is back. Give the ball to Gurley and Marshall, make our opponents stop the rush. These two kids are going to be great players and leaders.
I expect Grantham to kick some butt this week. He could not be happy with his team's defensive performance.
Finally, when do our coaches eliminate the cocky arrogance that has seemed to poison the Georgia Football program?
Take no team for granted. Our recent losses against far less talented teams have yet to sink in.
I don't blame the coaching staff for every thing but I sure as hell blame them for that.

Hey averagedawg, the bench or a lot of stadium steps might cure that problem.

Welcome back.

The thing that stands out to me about this game is that all the cards are on the table as far as expectations go.
Missouri is looking to make a statement in their first SEC game, and the Dawgs know that the game will be a test. Still, the fact remains that Missouri still has to face Georgia. Think about that for a second. Despite the effort against Buffalo, our D is almost ridiculously loaded with talent. The offensive strike power is potent with our running game and if, IF, AM is on his game, air Georgia is going to be running sorties all night long. O line has to play better, sure, but did anybody notice how easily Christian LeMay moved the ball last week. Point is, we DO have options, and good options to boot.
I think we win in a squeaker, which means some of you will feed me fodder for the post game analysis, but a W is a W.
