From Athens- Game Day Friday #6

Good Morning All,

Adversity is the mother of progress- MG

No question our team has had a dose of adversity dropped on it

There has been much too digest in a week’s time

I understand that some of what follows has been touched on by others here early in the week my thoughts are it is worth another pondering

There are many questions about how our team will respond when faced with this level of challenges

IMO it falls back on the talent we have to fill the void

It is not like we are entering a plow pony in the Kentucky Derby and expecting to win

We recruited this talent to play at Georgia not sit and look good

What’s lacking is game experience which I grant is huge

It seems the logical way to get such experience is get them into a game

However, the sticking point I am sure for both coaches and fans is they would wish for this happen when we are ahead and it is cleanup time at the end of a game.

Not having that choice -It is what it is-Next man up or more correctly men

On Saturday some pups will become Dawgs

Here we are leading the SEC East at 3-0

Blue Ribbon offense and a Swiss cheese /Leaky Bucket defense

ST that has more broken parts than can be counted on both hands

As Georgia said for her two cents worth before the LSU game

Home Game –Sanford makes the difference

She added it is going to prove even bigger this week. I agree

We need to Rock the Hedges v3.0 louder and longer noise

This will feed our young pups and give our defense a much needed lift

Like it or not this defense and ST is part of that 3-0 record

Hate to think the outcome if we had missed that FG-flashback to Tampa

Yes there are problems and I am not pumping sunshine or drinking K/A

Just not ready to make the leap that UT will be our last SEC win for this season

Me thinks Russ still has a strong bite-Saturday would be an excellent time to show it off

The bye week before UF just might become the key to winning in JAX

It is also time to pass on a thank you to this team for not quitting.

You have played your tails off and to those who have gone down to injury a speedy and complete recovery is our wish-DGD’s

Mizzo marks the half way point of the season-all goes by so fast

Pause and give thanks

Have a great weekend and a safe week

As always “Go Dawgs”!!!

YD1,
I've read many of your post and I have to say this posts hits the target at such an important time more than any others you've posted.

SO, I will be the first to say;

Thank you Dawgs and I couldn't prouder at this point. It's not over. Hang in there. Focus and be strong. You've done it more than once this year and now is no time to do anything but beat the 2nd Tiger. Saturday is just another day closer to finishing the drill.

Yes, thanks to the Dawgs! They continue to play hard and now need our support more than ever.

And yes, we do have problems. We will see what this team is made of. Great point made ... these players were recruited to play at UGA. If they were not WANTED, they would not be here. Step up and get the job done.

All of a sudden this game has great importance. After the LSU victory, the Missou and Vandy games seemed to be just bumps in the road to Atl. Now they are look like road-blocks. Nothing is to be taken lightly.

Man do we need that bye week! Get 'em ready coaches. Rally the troops

Go Dawgs! GATA!

Game against Missouri is going to give us a second look at a team that has many of the same ways and means as Clemson has.

Receivers, one in particular. Overall team speed. Quarterback that has talent, above average talent, but not on the same level as Clemson.

Missouri will face a defense that is last in the Southeastern Conference in scoring, giving up 32.2 points per game. Regardless of who we have played, many of us realize that had the players understood what to do, makes no difference what team or schedule each team has played. Could be the players fault, could also the the way they have been taught, or lack of same.

Ray Drew is coming on like gangbusters, expect the same from him the remainder of the season. If we do not protect the edges, Franklin will look a lot better percentage wise than he is.

No doubt that Franklin will try extra hard to get the ball to Dorial Green-Beckham. 6'6", has five TD's so far this season, almost 16 yards per reception.

L'Damian Washington, 6'4", also has five TD catches this season and almost 16 yards per reception.

Pretty simple actually, they are going to line up offensively and spread the field, with talent.

Our front seven have to play serious football, any confusion out of the ordinary, Tigers will take it to the house.

Other than the gloom and doom, Missouri does not match up with Georgia physically. Speed wise, they ain't slow. Here is hoping that the afternoon sessions between AM and his new group of receivers accomplished a lot.

Beginning to look like a run it down their throats kind of beginning. No doubt in my mind that AM can back the linebackers off of the line, that or they pay the price. Catch the football.

Appears that Shaq Wiggins is starting again from all I can find out.

Worried a bit about Herrera covering the slants. Stopping the run, don't have a problem with that.

Someone on this board mentioned this should be a tightends dream game. I agree.

Go Dawgs.

yankeedawg1, never hurts to rehash things, keeps us on our toes. Maybe that's what is missing from our defensive coordinator. Sorry, just don't like being the last in the SEC giving up 32.2 points a game. That is a number that should have dropped much sooner than now. Young talent, we know that, but we are also talkiing about real talent.

Who the heck knows, looking forward to noon tomorrow.

Again . . . . Go Dawgs.

I love the noon start Bloody Mary Brunch followed by some red meat and shrimp off the grill at night

Pulling for Zack to have a big game would love to see Muschimp pucker fun thing to watch

Will have an eye on the Hogs just might have a surprise for the ole ballsack

Feast weekend brothers life is good and we are blessed Go Dawgs

I think it is going to boil down to keeping pressure on their QB,and,making sure that AM is well protected, it might be just that simple this week.
