Let the Dawgs loose this weekend.

In 8.66 seasons, the Dawgs have scored 50 or more only 6 times, and 60 or more only once. (The good news is we've only been on the other side of that equation once.) I bring this up because I think CMR ought to let the Dawgs loose tomorrow. Sure, TennTech isn't a big time program, but nothing feels better than to beat down an opponent. Also, given our performance this year, I don't think we can be accused of overkill because we really haven't shown much. So, I say can we get at least 60 pts, Mr. Richt?

Donnan was 2 and 1 in this. Goff was 4 and 2, but did let the Dawgs score 70 against ULM in '94. Dooley was the man, though. 10 games of 50 or more points and not one time in 25 years did the Dawgs give up more than 45 pts (when Nebraska beat us down in the '69 Sun Bowl). In fact, Dooley's Dawgs were notoriously tough to score on. Only 22 times did the Dawgs give up 30 or more under Dooley (10.4% of games). By contrast, the Dawgs held opponents to less than 10 pts 97 times (33.6%). Of course, Vince had a pretty good DC most of those years, lol.

Okay, now I've bored you with absolutely useless statistics, I'm sending you back to your regularly scheduled day...

I agree, Limey, we should turn 'em loose. Unfortunately, even if Richt does, we may only score 24. Oops, sorry, dead horse again.

sadlerdawg, problem is....he's BEEN turning them loose....to no avail.


OOOOOH.......we're talking about the OFFENSE....sorry, I immediately thought DEFENSE. lol

That's what happened to Tony Dungy. He lost the NFC championship to the RAMS something like 9-3. That was the year that the RAMS had the worst defense in the NFL but set the all time record for points scored. Ownership called Tony in and said there would be a new OC whether he liked it or not. He refused to cooperate and ownership was forced to get OC without his consent. That was beginning of end. Nobody was going to tell Tony how to run his team and he barely concealed his efforts to make ownership appointed OCs fail. Ultimately they had to get rid of HC Dungy just to get a decent OC.

If Richt digs in I think we're headed for same place. Dungy had to learn his lesson the hard way and I think Dungy is better coach than Richt. If that the road ahead then we may as well just cut our losses instead of dragging it out.

As bad as I want WM out of athens , I hope THE DAWGS WIN EVERY GAME!! I could never hope for a loss. GGGOOOOOO DAAAWWWWGGGGGZZZZZZ!!!!!
