My thoughts about the UGA game

Duck, if you stop giving your opinion, then you are a sell out. Nothing wrong with what you have said, that is your opinion. Have never found you to be accusatory, sometimes words get tangled. You go Duck.

Thanks for your support Buc!!!

Sorry guys, I gotta disagree!...Mistakes are part of football, its how you adapt and recover that makes the difference. Arron Murray's fumble was kicked from his hand as he attempted to evade a sack, something he did ALOT of because UF was bringing the house, early and often. Murray's first INT was as much Green's fault and his, the CB jumped the route, Green should have adjusted, Murray should have thrown a better pass. Murray's second INT was a tip drill. White should have caught the ball. Scoop and run versus falling on the ball,...it happened twice, same result...perhaps coaching might have been a factor afterall?!?!

Ok,on the Green blame. He did just stand there. But he is a player not a coach. I really hope that you aren't seriously blaming coaches for the NON fumble recoveries. That is taught in little league so there are a lot of coaches to blame because apparently, not one coach ever told Cummings how to react in that situation. He just messed up. HE being CUMMINGS


What I saw was a remarkable gameplan developed by CUM and excused relatively well by UF. The first few series from either team wasn't successful, but UF was the first to develop momentum and as it grew, their players responded. The UF players were coached up and ready for a war. CUM rotated in and out of offensive game plans, used hurry up sets and managed to keep us guessing most of the first half. Likewise, they stacked the box, brought multiple blitz packages and dared AM to beat us with his arm.

Looked ready for war. 2 yds in their first 15 plays. That is great offense. Gets easier to score when you are doing it on a short field. Had one drive where they weren't set up with great field position. On another, Cummings didn't make a play on the ball and let Thompson go get it. Coaches had him in the right position. Apparently, it is their fault because they did not pick the ball for him

On the other side I saw the same, tired gameplan carried forward, again! A first half reactionary defense that faired better after halftime adjustments. An offensive front line that started strong but finished with a whimper. Murray was unsettled for most of the first half, throwing many an errant pass, but did settle down and played quite well in the second half. Murray had numerous passes that were dropped, tipped, slipped through hands and otherwise fell incomplete, or intercepted. In my opinion, Murray had only one, terribly inept play. Uunfortunately, it was that freshman mistake that ended the game.

Murray didn't play terrible. Actually played well enough to win, but they didn't. The fumble was tough. One pick was White's fault. The pick in OT was his. Stared Green down. If a man can come off his guy to make a play on another receiver, the QB has to just be locked on.

It's real easy to lay this one at the feet of individuals, but having the season we've had this year, and the seasons past. I am less inclined to do so. This game, IMVHO, is the culmination of what we have and will continue to have, under the present leadership. We will continue to recruit well, picking up blue chippers here and there. We may very well rise up again, ala the 2010 GameCocks, but we will continue stand in the shadow of Miles, Saban and Meyer. If that is acceptable to you, fine!...It's NOT acceptable for me!

Coaching early on was a problem. I am not going to act like it wasn't. But to act like the coaches are to blame here, that is the most ludicrous thing I have heard since turning on the news to hear Obama was our President. Have been a Bobo critic all year. I still want the man gone, but to try to blame him for scoring 31pts and tallying 439yds of offense. Not bad against a UF defense. Especially, considering the 2nd half that Bobo called. Pretty much perfect. Cannot blame the coaches here. Want to blame them for some of the other loses this year. I am totally behind you. Blaming them for this however, it probably the most ridiculous thing I will hear this year.

Wlayton, sorry to apply that you were the one with the rose colored glasses. I know you and Buc have been very vocal at your displeasure with CMR. I guess I just get so tired of others on here that continue to want to keep CMR and give it one more year ect. I do get carried away and I do not proof read my notes, so I do know that there are errors, but I did not know this was a spell check forum.

I did not mean to step on anyone toes and claim to be an expert, and it seems everyone else can give their opinion without being bashed. I guess I just try to write how I feel and Hope I can make others see the faults in the program.

No worries my friend, no worries . We are all upset and only want the best for UGA. We should be in NC talk every year....without fail. We are all irritated, depressed, mad, embarrassed etc.... me especially (I live with these gators, very hard to take). We certainly should be able to vent to each other......kinda like we do in our family life. With THAT being said.....we all "live and breathe" UGA football and will stick together no matter the opinions we all have (that's what makes this forum the best, right?).

Thanks for the forgiviness Wlayton. Everyone on this site is wonderful and I really enjoy reading all posts. I don't post much, for as you can see it gets me in trouble.
