Tennessee

We put a pretty good whipping on Tennessee last season. Looking at all positions, felt we were better across the board. One season has passed, and supposedly UGA has improved its play from game to game. (Hope so 6-7 did not taste good) I agree that the defense has done that. Still not sure what I see happening on the offensive side of the ball. A huge back converted from tight end that never runs the ball. Makes me wonder.

On the quarterbacking . . . . AM is getting beat up pretty badly. There comes a time when you pick out a receiver and only one receiver. Might cost an interception, and has, but with our offensive line play, AM does not always have a choice. Would love to see a coordinator introduce our offense to the Hank Stram floating pocket. That is the type quarterback AM is and could improve our offense loads.

Read a couple of posts today about playing good first halfs, slumping in the second half. This is my question to that . . . Why can our offensive line that is so poorly rated do so well in the first half. All players on both sides of the ball are fresh. Second half, it looks like their players are ready to go and we can't get our cleats out of the turf. Is this changing the game plan at the half or is it their players are better conditioned than ours. I check the names on the jerseys and they remain pretty much the same for both the first and second half, on both sides of the ball.

sadlerdawg, I understand what you are saying and from this corner you are right. Why else would Richt say the defense under Grantham played great and the offense has to figure out what is wrong in the second half. I did not make that up, go to the UGA site and play the post game presser from Richt if you have not seen it. Think many of us know what the problem(s) are.

Beating Tennessee only comes in second to beating Florida in this household. Don't like urange. Hoping to see our defense continue on the same path that they are on. Seems as if the D plays the entire game, appears that Grantham, Lakatos and others understand what it will take for UGA to win football games. Maybe next year the other side will contribute in the second half.

Go Dawgs, not crazy about Dooley and company winning.

averagedawg, this UGA team could win and should win by 7.

This game is HUGE! Tenn plays LSU and BAMA following us. We have got to win this game or our season is toast and I'm pretty sure everybody will want to fire Richt...or do they already?

Buc, totally agree that they should move AM because of our lousy OL is getting him killed. Only bad thing about that is you are cutting the field in half for AM to find somebody open. They obviously "prefer" him to stay in the pocket so he can work the whole field but he's going to get killed if he does. So.......if he rolls out and his options are cut in half then he can also run, right?.......geez, he can get killed that way too. Best solution??? Recruit depth at OL !!!!!

Size Buc...we do have the largest O-line in all of football. That will give you an edge...at least for a while. We're able to push people around in the first half because we're bigger than them. Eventually, just from the physical demands of carrying all that weight, our legs start to tire out and the size advantage is "outweighed" (pun intended) by the fact that now we're not much more than 5 tired fat guys

Kept hearing Tim Couch pontificate Saturday about how good our OL is.
I wasn't sure who he was talking about.

lol I thought the same thing..

Then when he said "I like what Bobo did there".. my first thought was "well hang around for awhile
and I'll ask you again"
