Gilliard, Walsh Earn SEC Honors
ILB Mike Gilliard was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week and College Football Performance Awards National Linebacker of the Week after the Dawgs' victory Saturday over the Vols in Knoxville, featuring a fine defensive performance.
Blair Walsh got his mojo back, hitting a pair of field goals and a pair of extra points, earning the Conference's Special Teams Player of the Week honors.

not a knock on Walsh
because he did all that was asked, but it must be a bad week for special teams. 2 average field goals and 2 PATs gets the nod?

I guess they couldn't give it to LSU's punter,
… since he behaved so callously and made some Gators cry.
And our punter couldn't even get it to our first down marker!

I sort of thought that, too.
Made 2 field goals under 40 yards and 2 XP’s? Special teams player of the week?
Maybe they figured Walsh really needed the attaboy to get his groove back. If that’s the case, I’m totally cool with it!

Mike Gilliard
had a great game. He’s going to be tough to bench when ’Tree returns. Amarlo Herrera (true Freshman) is developing into a monster quite quickly. He should also have a fumble recovery on his resume. Exactly what game were the officials in the replay booth watching anyhow?
Georgia’s linebacking corp has a ton of young talent.

It's definitely looking like
Grantham’s hires were great ones. Olivadotti is living up to his reputation. He’s doing a great job. Lakatos is looking to be a pretty damn good hire as well. Very excited about this staff. Hope we can keep them together for several years to come.
I also wonder what we’d look like with a similar upgrade on the other side of the ball.

guess we all just gotta keep our fingers crossed
and hope that we score in bunches suddenly to end the season and some small school swoops in and “steals” coach bobo away.
hopefully, coach richt learned his lesson with martinez and wouldn’t do something like promote coach ball to be the new OC.
Bring Searels back as OC
He was running game coordinator after all….

As productive as the running game was with him here
I could see why you’d want to do that.
Personally, I’d prefer someone who would score points and gather bunches of yards.

it's a decent show
Even if it’s pretty raunchy at times….kinda gives you an inside look at the way college football really is.
