Whats up with the running game?

54 yds against Colorado? How can that be? I personally believe that platooning the backs like we do may be somewhat counter productive. Im not the coach by any means but I do believe we need to at least try and get one of those 3 guys into a groove and see what happens.

How come nobody is talking about Danny Ware? Through 4 games he is the #1 rusher and the # 2 reciever on the team? This kid should get more touches in my opinion. Here are the stats from CNNSI.

Rushing
Player ATT YDS AVG TDS
1. Ware 29 181 6.2 2
2. Lumpkin 35 178 5.1 2
3. Brown 39 134 3.4 1
Totals 129 610 4.7 7

Receiving
Player REC YDS AVG TDS
1. Milner 7 111 15.9 1
2. Ware 6 100 16.7 0
3. Harris 6 96 16.0 0
Totals 51 703 13.8 4


Tell me what you guys think.

Go Dawgs!!!!

Everone saw how Georgia's running game was demolished by the Colorado's Defense was it the play calling or can we blame it all on the Offensive line?
We as a team is suffering from suspensions, and injuries caused by recent weeks of harsh practice and great games.
hopefully in the upcoming games against Ole Miss and Tennessee we will be ready with new play calling and a fully healded offensive line.
Ole Miss is one of those teams that can scare you if your not ready to play witch we all saw what could happen if your not ready to play a team in Division 1A.
Tennessee is a quality opponent that may just beat on us if our offesive line doesn't block. Also our deffensive line needs to start thinking about putting just a little more pressure on that running back and not letting the quarterback run loose like Mike Vick.
Contain, Contain, Sack and Sack that is the main goals for our Deffensive lines.

But don't forget how we decide to run the ball right to the middle of defenders inside the twenty on third and long. We need to prepare better for underestamated teams such as last week and weeks to come.

I agree somewhat with tryin to focus on one back....but with three that good, man it's tough.

Speaking of the UGA running game...how many of you "Old Dawgs" miss this number??

I was very dissapointed in our running game. Let's not forget that Colorado has an excellent defensive front line. My big concern is offence inconsistancy. We need a strong showing this week against Miss..

A one-running game is good, but having two other running backs on the sidelines will give us 4 fresh legs ready to run. Our running game will tire out the D-Line of the opposing team.
