PrintTennessee Tech Golden Eagles at Georgia Bulldogs, Nov 7, 2009 1:00 PM EST
Finally, it's here! It's the game to which we all have been looking forward all season long! It's the Tennessee Tech game . . . they're like Tennessee and Tech combined!
All right, so it's a 1:00 kickoff against a Division I-AA opponent being televised on pay-per-view. It's still Georgia football, and it likely will give me this sorry season's penultimate (or---gulp!---perhaps even ultimate) opportunity to update the Mark Richt Victory Watch, so let's savor this one while we can . . . unless it goes badly, which is too terrible to contemplate.
Yet contemplate it we shall, and, if you are inclined to take part in the conversation, please feel free to share your reactions and remarks for the good of the order in the comments below.
Go 'Dawgs!

First!
Nope…I don’t get the thrill from this those idiots on the AJC blogs must get. Got ESPN 360 fired up on the widescreen, warming up with Ark v. USC. ZZZzzzzzzz…..

Maybe!
TT did nothing in 3 downs, Dawgs driving with catch by A White down to their 15 yd line.
Run Lindsay Run!
So...
why exactly did ealey not start?
….blocking…… really?
All I can say is...
we better not draw any conclusions about “improved performance” or “executing properly” from this game. TT is really, really, really awful.
I mean really, really, really terrible
If we hear Cox, Bobo or Willie praising our performance, I’m going to lose it. We might as well be playing a high school team. They look that bad.
I'm getting frustrated anyway
our defense and offense are celebrating too much. Yeah, it was a great catch/run/sack/tackle, but you’re playing TT. You shouldn’t be that surprised.
i cant watch the game here, and i am not even sure i can PPV it here.
even if i could, not sure the $30 is worth it, unless it is to see Logan play.
I didn't bother with PPV
tho I"m sure it was available on Directv since it always is. I wasn’t sure it was worth it either and since I had to work, i stopped considering it all together.
For anyone with ATT internet service
ESPN360.com feed is free, but then again, those of you in the SE are probably blacked-out. I would NOT spend $$$ for this practice scrimmage. Radio is fine while you do the “honey-do” projects today.
Run Lindsay Run!
Prince Miller punt return TD called back
by Penn Wagers(!) for a holding call the announcers can’t see. Hmmm….
Run Lindsay Run!
Nice throw and catch by Cox/ Charles for a TD
I’m not sure what we’ll learn from this game.
Run Lindsay Run!
Picture that boring fake handoff and dive run of Logan's
at triple the speed against a High School team and you’ll have it. Hey…I’m no Munson, best I can offer.
Run Lindsay Run!
branden smith is the fastest guy i have seen wearing red and black in years
Once a Dawg, Always a Dawg. How Sweet it is!
I would suggest following David Hale's gameday blog...
…but I think he fell asleep.
Run Lindsay Run!
our offense is making me angry
So far, we have seen the no huddle, consistent play faking on first down, and Branden Smith taking a snap with Washaun Ealey in the backfield. Have we really been saving this stuff for the mighty Golden Eagles? We run a stangant and predictable offense against the hardest part of our schedule, and get creative against a 1-AA team? This is just frusturating. Its mind boggling. My mind is boggled (although part of that is from watching Smith run-OMG fast!!)

To be fair (and I don't know why, but)...
…our Oline is so dominating here, we can run anything we want. Not so true against LSU, FL, etc. But I would have liked to see more of this.
Run Lindsay Run!
I think we're running this against TT
because we can execute against them. I don’t think we’d get away with this stuff against any other opponent.
Why not?
It doesn’t matter who the opponent is, the easiest time to throw is on first down. The no huddle is all about your offense, not the defense you are playing. There is no legitimate reason for why it has taken this long to do something different.

Im ready for Gray or Murray!
though i dont think i will get to see the one i really want to see
Once a Dawg, Always a Dawg. How Sweet it is!
Although, I must admit
It is nice to see the Dawgs treating a 1 AA team like a 1 AA team. They never look this good against an overmatched opponent.

Egads! It is Buck broadcasting.
This crew is uniquely terrible. But at least they got Orsen Charles’ name correct.
Run Lindsay Run!
this team must really not trust their QB
we have stuffed their running game, yet they are still trying to run.
then again, their QB has been lying down for a lot of the 1st
Once a Dawg, Always a Dawg. How Sweet it is!
Clear the bench.
It’s HC, so let the seniors in and let’s see some Metzenburgher(?SIC) running! I think I’ll name my dog after him.
Run Lindsay Run!
p.s. i am glad that we have Penn Wagers for a game that we can win even with biased refs
Once a Dawg, Always a Dawg. How Sweet it is!
I noticed that Penn Wagers was the referee after the punt return that was called back.
I wonder who he ticked off so bad that he got assigned to a 1-AA game.
Yeah...love that dude since sitting in the upper deck, soaked, during the ASU game.
Run Lindsay Run!
he is kind of a jerk
sorry to burst your bubble.
he can play, but not well enough to make up for the fact that he is an a**
Once a Dawg, Always a Dawg. How Sweet it is!
ausdawg85, thanks for telling us about ESPN360, I am Now watching my Dawgs.
I could not justify 29.95 for pay per view, against Tenn Tech!

really Wagers?
letting TT play with 13 players on defense?
give them the advantage is fine, just dont make it so apparent

Logan Gray sighting

so maybe Gray isnt the best backup
Murray anyone?
and yes, i know im starting to sound like a broken record.

He's thrown and interception the last 2 times he came in, just sayin'......
I understand what your saying, didn’t mean to ruffle your feathers :)

Murray won't play
I believe he will start next year and would be a better back up than Gray, but it isn’t happening. I understand why the didn’t use him earlier in the year, but they won’t take the redshirt off this late.

In past seasons, I would be very pleased with this performance.
So why do I feel as if I’ve been lied to by a loved one watching this? And then CMR sounds like he’s at a funeral during his interview with Loran…what’s going on?
Run Lindsay Run!
Just a few thoughts . . .
when you’re averaging better than 10 yards a play for most of the a half, you should have 31 points on the board.
4 touchdowns, all by true freshmen. That pretty much sums up the state of the Georgia offense doesn’t it?
Christian Robinson just keeps getting more and more playing time. Perhaps Bacarri Rambo should ask him how he did it . . .
Scott Howard seems to have 7 seven games worth of pent up excitement all gushing out in one half of decent football. If we return the second half kickoff for a score, the poor guy’s head may explode.
Ark up on S. Car 17-16
Would be nice if the Gamecocks could lose this one.

Not on TV in Florida...
Looks like we’ve sorted out our problems on Defense. CWM figured out during the past few days his defense scheming is perfect for D2.
Try ESPN360, I'm watching the game on it.....

The Iowa "problem" in the polls is about to take care if itself.
1:27 left, 3rd & long at their own 30 or so, down 7.

Ballgame...Iowa going down.
Now I have to consider another 1 loss team for the Mumme Poll Top 5 and listen to the BSU people go berserk.

We have 5 sacks thus far today, nice, but we are playing TT
Or good we be making some adjustments on D?

wow, very cool of the students to give a "thanks troops"
and that is why we are G E O R G I A football – we have class.
Ealy with a good run, he is impressive

Cox is still in because:
A) He gives us our best "chance"of winning?
B) Gray got benched for the INT?
C) No one checked the scoreboard?
Run Lindsay Run!
I agree, makes No sense to me.

Even if CMR is clearly going to stay with JC through the end of the season
How can you NOT let Logan get better prepared in case of emergency???
Run Lindsay Run!
Anyone else
think we should just give ever hand of to Ealey?
arkansas is in command and will win against SC
there is never a reason to root for SC, they will never come through in a bind.
Gray needs to come in and get some snaps, imo...

Mark Richt (November 3, 2009)
I honestly think CMR believes he has to save Gray in case Cox goes down with an injury.
And does not want to be without a backup, so he doesn’t want Gray to get hurt. It’s a circular logic that will never make sense, but once you identify that your freshman are redshirting no matter what, I guess this is the corner you get backed into.

Yep, Bidford caught that pass with 3 red shirts surrounding him.

I want LSU to beat Bama
and the SEC West winner to beat FL in the SECGG, then the SEC beat Texas for the title. And then sulk all winter over this season until Spring practice.
Run Lindsay Run!
you know i love the SEC - but right now i got Texas with the rings
make sure yall quote that come Jan
Teasippers are like Tech.
First, they will very likely get upset before season’s end. And with no running game, unless Colt plays far better than he has so far, Gators or Bammer can take ’em.
Run Lindsay Run!
Clark Central HS Oline is now in for us.
I didn’t recognize a single name in the huddle other than Gray.
Run Lindsay Run!
Dawgs win! Dawgs win! Dawgs win!
Beats the alternative. Thus ends the banal rantings from Texas…all because Podunkdawg made it sound like she was all alone.

Dawgs Win! It 's been so long since I typed that, I was not sure I could :)

this week’s game didn’t hurt the way some earlier wins hurt. Maybe I should try working through the games more often?

For the record, though...
… it’s 13-0 at halftime, and the score is not indicative how how dominating the Gators have been.
Be careful what you wish for...
… because we saw a lot of Logan Gray today. And given his performance in a sustained amount of playing time against lowly 1-AA opposition, I think we can safely say that Joe Cox is the better quarterback.
It seemed at times to me that Richt and/or Bobo were consciously keeping Gray on the field in the 2nd half as if to make a statement to the fans. “See? This guy really does suck doesn’t give us a better chance to win than Joe Cox.”
I think the only time we’ll see Gray from here on out is when he’s fair-catching punts on the 20.
Oh, I don't know...
… if my math is correct, we’re going to have 10 starters returning on offense. It’s true that the one position not returning is the most important position in Mark Richt’s offense, but maybe all the experienced players around him will help the new QB pick up his level of play.
Don't forget....
David Greene and Colt McCoy both played as RSFr and did pretty well. I think Cox’s problem is more that he just doesn’t have the tools to be a good QB rather than lack of coaching.
