Georgia Bulldogs v. Kentucky Wildcats Game Day Open Comment Thread

Georgia Bulldogs at Kentucky Wildcats, Nov 8, 2008 12:30 PM EST


At long last, game day is upon us! Hopefully, the Bulldogs will be able to get back on the winning track in Lexington this afternoon, and, as you cheer the Red and Black on, please feel free to share your comments on the contest in Commonwealth Stadium, and on all the day’s college football action, below.

This also marks the occasion for naming this week’s Dawg Sports honorary game day captain. Today’s honoree is none other than Rex Robinson, whose 29-yard field goal with three seconds remaining on the clock enabled the 1978 "Wonderdogs" to overcome a onetime 16-7 deficit and claim a 17-16 victory over Kentucky on the road.

The Georgia team that took the field 30 years ago did not win a national championship, just as the Georgia team that takes the field this year will not . . . but Robinson would go on to a stellar career, one that included an extra point in Knoxville to give the ‘Dawgs the 16-15 win that began the 1980 national championship drive.

Go ‘Dawgs!

"Bob that head"

I think its very appropriate for Raycom to be sponsored by Rascall Flats. And its very appropriate to play that song as we are in Kentucky.

Well that was efficient

About 7 plays for 65 yards in less than 2 minutes. That’s the way we needed to respond!

Make that 4 plays

Playcalling looks more sensible today

Nothing fancy just doing what we do best. It does seem we are throwing it more until we got close the the endzone on that last TD play.

WWhat do you guys think the odds are . . .

That we could end up in the Cotton Bowl, as opposed to the Cap One. I know that will require winning out, and that the Cotton Bowl usually picks a West team, but I think would enjoy seeing a Big 12 match up in the Cotton.

i dont know the bowls well enough to know -

but i would be very happy with a Cotton bowl and a big 12 opponent. none of us want a Cap One.

Oh – and if they put a Patsy up against the dogs in a bowl again this year – Richt will run the score up 70-0 this time.

by tankertoad on Nov 8, 2008 12:58 PM EST up reply actions  

Really?

The sound of the Cotton Bowl seems fun…until a Big 12 team starts passing on our secondary. I would prefer a drive to Dallas than Orlando, but I feel “safer” about matching up against the Big 10.

Good job of Moreno of driving through the "attempted" tackles

I say attempted bc none of the defenders tried to wrap him up, they looked like they were just trying to knock him over, Moreno has good balance, and trying to merely knock him over is not smart or sound tackling. Sea of Blue mentioned that they were having trouble tackling.

I have a hard time seeing how we have been ranked so hig against the run.

It seems like we have been repeatedly gashed in several games this year, and I am concerned what we’ll do against Yech’s triple option.

A different thought -

Can we go hire Elway for 6 months to work with Stafford? I dont think Bobo can coach him, Staffords arm is beyond most people’s understanding. Stafford needs to find balance and poise along with his God given talent. And Bobo needs to stop throwing the bomb.

I dont know what is going on with it - but somethign is simply not right

Stafford uses his arm as his brain, and then the play calling just doesnt make sense. Something isn’t right. I thought Bobo was the QBs coach – but i spend a lot of time in Iraq and sometimes miss these things.

It has to boggle everyone's mind

That we can score effortlessly in four plays in the very first series of the game, and then get the ball at the opponents’ 38, and proceed to move it 4 yards in 4 downs…

NO

We just havent had a “team” under this class. We havent had spirit, leadership and it seems at times the players are more worried about wearing black then finishing the drill. But they have the talent, and CMR is an outstanding coach. We may have too much talent – a lot of these guys come from HS programs that never lose a game. They don’t seem to respond well to adversity. They dont maintain composure.

CMR needs to take this team on an offsight – or find some team building exercises.

The Dawgs Need -

Stafford to be the leader. But it doesnt seem to be in his character. He is slow on his reads and tries to force plays with his arm. He needs to be coached by someone that can relate to his abilty, which isn’t Bobo. Moreno continually breaks through and makes plays, only to be let down. Moreno displays character, but this team is going to have to be led by the QB.

The D is, again, flat, and continually out of place, always on the wrong side of the block, feet out of position, etc. The D needs to find some unity and get electrified.

I dont know if it is Bobo or Stafford, but the continual

play action bomb causing a 2nd and 10, followed by a run leading to 3rd and long is not a good game plan. Maybe Bobo does a good job, maybe not. But the play action bomb x 10 formula doesnt rest well with me. If our Defense is struggling and we are in a shootout – how about control the ball and clock a little? I now Stafford can throw the ball 1/2 a mile, and our RVCR core is better this year than ever, but I would like to see poise and control and work the game, not the heave ho over and over.

Congratulations on the first-rate effort today. After Georgia went up 14-0, it looked like the Wildcats were in for a long day, but they more than made a game of it.

With the improvement Kentucky, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt have shown in recent seasons, the S.E.C. East has become the most bruising division in college football, with the arguable exception of the Big 12 South.
