thriller, for me, you are spot on. A win over UF almost trumps the rest of the year (almost).

And a great point saying the D really owed our offense.

I honestly feel that AM studies and cares SO much that he tries TOO hard and makes his mistakes by forcing the ball trying to make a play. He just needs a valium and accept the fact that an opposing D is going to win plays sometimes.......run it or throw it away.


Also agree with all of WD's posts. ENJOY people, stop the griping and enjoy we BEAT UF.....all's great in the world again for another 364 days.

Btw, I think CMR did the right thing during that ONE incident with CTG.......looked to me like CTG was all over a ref and that ref could have thrown a 15 yard penalty flag on CTG. I'm sure CMR was tired of senseless penalties.....certainly didn't need one on a coach, for crying out loud.

Was happy with CMR's intensity yesterday.....about time.

Pace a bit slower today, blood pressure down to near normal . . . .

Know that many of you record the UGA games and play them back. This particular game in JAX was a game that needs to be saved for several reasons. Win always comes first. Second comes from watching an intimidating performance by our defense. Did anyone on this board think that we would hold Florida to 9 points, if you did, not sure you are being honest. Not with the way we had played against Kentucky and others.

Garrison Smith had one heck of a game. Hate losing Abry Jones, but Garrison really stepped up and played "grown man football". Garrison has a mean streak and if you replay the game, it is evident. Hard to replace folks that fall or fail on the defensive line, Garrison Smith came in played a great game replacing a teammate that had manned the position for a long time.

Not going to go into what everyone in the country knows now or will by Monday. Jarvis Jones, I can't say anymore than has been said. Those are not "funny" or "inflated" numbers showing what he did in the game. Above it all, he is a true gentlemen and shuffles all of the back slaps and high fives to his teammates, he could care less. Might be the single greatest defensive effort I have seen watching UGA football in my lifetime. That is a loooooooong time. Jarvis is not 100% yet, scary, I think so.

Would really like to see Ogletree tighten his game up a bit more. For a lot of linebackers in the country, the game he played yesterday would be a really good game for them. Saw a couple of missed tackles that were simply because he did not wrap up. Other side of the coin, he was flying around all afternoon. When players have the talent that Ogletree has, so much more is expected of them and for good reason. Tree is head and shoulders above 95% of the players in the country that play the same position. If he ever comes close to what his God given talents are, there is no limit.

Jordan Jenkins, glad he is getting a lot of playing time. Grantham apparently knew that Jenkins was needed at UGA. Jarvis had some pretty lofty things to say about Jordan, in my mind, that is high praise coming from a real man.

Really like going back and watching games like this, can stop and look and look again and get a true picture of what is going on.

Just a couple of things that are crossing the gray matter today. Great win, defense finally looked like what most of us expected to see from the beginning. ogredawg said it, I believe it . . . . Ole Miss would love to cause some problems for a top ten rated team.

I did see what happened to Miss State yesterday. Yikes. Saw a quarterback doing his job, look closely AM.

Buc, I thought Jordan Jenkins played a great game and created a lot of havoc on the field.....he's going to be a real good one.

Also, did you see Muschamp and Jarvis talking after the game? The camera zeroed in on them.....while they talked, they kept the "hammer handshake" the whole time and you could see Muschamp telling him "great job" and much more for a good while. Really respected that from Muschamp, he didn't have to do that....

I am very pleased. This was the perfect victory. It accomplished everything that a win over Florida accomplishes, but the way the Dawgs won doesn't help the regime's credibility.

Watched Muschamp today on his Florida video link. I was amazed that he was as calm as he was. Most of his answers were one liners, hiding I am sure his deep feelings about the game. Did not see much of the meeting between the two, there was a lot of high fives and jubilation in the man cave.

wlayton, this upcoming group that has signed on to play with Muschamp are a very strong group. He is determined to play SEC football and both of us know that is a strong defense backed up by a offense that makes few mistakes. Check Saban and Alabama out, they just beat folks up. Not much razzle dazzle in the game plan. That is what Muschamp is shooting for . . . . in my opinion.

Another thing that I saw when looking again at the game film. We have all heard about Washington's speed, whether true or not, saw him out of the play at the line of scrimmage when Driskel took off, even had a man throw a block at him, nothing huge, however Washington caught Driskel in short order and Driskel is no slow poke. Impressed me.

Ole Miss game will tell us a lot about ourselves. Have to like the fact that our defense allowed only 9 points, no TD's. Impressive . . . . I think so. We knew that Florida's offensive line was not one of their stronger suits, but our defense ate them up most of the day.

I guess the thing that I like the most about this victory was bragging rights with a couple of folks down my way that I will certainly have some fun with. BACK TO BACK WINS.

CBS, Saturday at 3:30. Homecoming. We play with the same intensity, should at least win by a point or two. . . . . Ole Miss assuredly will not play dead between the Hedges.

Buc, agree with your assessment of what Muschamp is building. I'm very impressed with their D, they are very good and physical.....should be the same next year. Muschamp is doing it the right way imo.

Like ogredawg said, they better watch out for Ole Miss, they can RUN the ball well and if we resort back to our uninspired ways, it could be a long day.

Do believe we should light them up on offense though. AM, Gurley/Marshall and the WR's should have a big day. You know AM and the offense are going to want to make a statement Sat.

Beating UF is the highlight of the year for me....way to many gators in Jax area, right kd??

Ball's in the Dawgs court, let's see if they can take advantage of this mulligan.

wlayton, you mention Gurley/Marshall.

One thing that I have noticed about Gurley especially since the first game in 2012. Watching all of the games I have recorded, Gurley, especially in the Florida game, is letting the game come to him, and quickly I might add. Watching him against Florida, he was different in that the game has definitely slowed down for him. Does not take the really good running backs too long to understand that.

All of us knew quickly that we had someone special. His talent for the rest of the year and beyond, has no limits. Stays healthy, he will rewrite some of the efforts that players produced before him.

Get this offensive line a bit stronger and more playing time, along with a good recruiting class, maybe we get more of that national attention that plays a big part in bowls etc.

Great observation on Gurley, the game has slowed down for him. Really taking his time, following his blocks and using his vision better. Early on he was over anxious to get to the hole. That kind of patience reminds me of Lattimore......takes his time and then explodes through the hole. Hopefully the same will eventually happen with Marshall....he also has a ton of talent and we really need him.
