Buc, you probably read Chris Low's ranking of SEC quarterbacks.
He has Murray no. 1.
Hopefully the OL can provide some protection.
God help us if he gets hurt.

yes no doubt AM should be #1

what is sad is that the RB rankings came out and we have NO ONE ranked and are ranked #9 as a team BELOW Ole Miss and above the Vols. (sigh).....will change with IC on board.....but it shows our running game has no respect right now.....

ogredawg, UGA football needed a solid shakeup. Players working hard under JTII, following the rules, don't see a lot of wiggle room for the teachers of "football science" when all coaches return to be with their pupils.

stanger was out with some of the troops over the last few days and he said that they are pumped and all are showing the benefits of S&C. Going with what ogredawg said and I agree, talk is cheap, show me. Show me on the field in Atlanta and the following Saturday in Athens. That makes sense to me. Good to have someone on this board that is close with some of the football team and willing to share. (Two of them, stanger and wlayton)

As far as the running game, UGA should never be without a top ten running back (in the nation). UGA known for running backs and tight ends. At some point someone forgot their "history lesson" the last few years. Here we are talking about Caleb King taking over the starting role, not in disagreement with stanger or anyone else. Can only place my bet on results, of which Caleb King has shown zero. If he comes out this year and burns it up . . . . that was what he was recruited to do. Right? Takes me back to Moreno sitting out and he was the best running back at UGA at that time, drafted #10 by the Broncos. Makes one wonder about the football professors when it comes to talent. Richt said that he probably made a mistake on Moreno, hope that is the last one at the running back position.

South Carolina, Auburn, Alabama and others in the SEC have passed us in this area of recruiting. Hold on. . . . . Isaiah Crowell might be the best ever, we however cannot say that at this point. I agree with wlayton about IC, watching film on youtube, will know a lot more in Atlanta against Boise State. I trust what wlayton has to say, feel sure he is right on Isaiah Crowell. Looking at the film, what is to disagree with? Other than the fact that he is now going to play in the best football conference in college, SEC.

So, Richt brought in one of the best RB's in the country in the 2011 class, maybe he learned something from the last two or three years of wandering about, I don't know. UGA is all about outstanding running backs.

Folks, I am not really beating Richt up, I am asking questions about talent.

Talent has always been in the state and in Florida also......we can't get them all just too many great coaches and programs out there..........but we should be able to get at the least 2 or 3 of the top 5 in state and steal another one or two from the state of Florida......exactly what we did this year with IC, Drew, Mitchell and Rome.....we are strong in the Jax and Tampa/central Fl. areas also.....and can always get 1 or 2 from the Carolinas......but in state is where it is at.......more and more SEC teams want that 1st game in ATL to begin the season......exposure....only going to get tougher....Tide, War Eagles and Seminoles hitting the state really hard......

Bump!

Good post. Buc, I think in this , one of the most important names you mentioned is mcgarity. He is the head of the corporation now, and I like his attitude. It all stems from there.

As far as Clowney is concerned, i watched him in an All Star game, and I have to say, he was BY FAR the most dominant player on that particular night.

BulldogShannon, from the film I have watched on youtube, Clowney is cat quick. Makes South Carolina that much tougher. Let's line 'em up and have a go at it.
