Georgia 42 Kentucky 38
LEXINGTON, KY- Whew!!! Close one….. The Dawgs used a “clutch” play on offense and a key defensive stop to survive upset-minded Kentucky this weekend. In an ugly win, the Dawgs got back in the win column after surviving several special teams mistakes. The Dawgs gave up a 96-yard kickoff return, an 18 [...]

JACKSONVILLE, FL- Botched onside kick? check. Interceptions? check. Missed field goals? check. It was a perfect example of “How to shoot yourself in the foot”, Saturday for the Georgia Bulldogs.  Georgia’s offense turned the ball over 4 times versus Florida’s zero turnovers in a battle for the SEC Eastern Division.  But, it was a combination [...]

BATON ROUGE- The Dawgs were impressive against LSU, putting up 52 points on the Tigers in “Death Valley”. Georgia linebacker Darryl Gamble returned an interception for a touchdown on the first play of the game, and, the Bulldogs never looked back.  The LSU crowd was kept quiet as Georgia rolled to a 52-38 stomping of [...]

BATON ROUGE- The last time these two teams went to war was in the 2005 SEC Championship, in which Georgia whipped LSU 34-14.  Mark Richt has gone 2-2 against LSU. Richt lost by a touchdown in Baton Rouge, lost in the 2003 SEC Championship game,  came back to dominate LSU in a 2004 game in [...]

ATHENS- If you look at Vanderbilt’s statistics, you wouldn’t find much to be concerned about. However, the Commodores are sitting pretty with a 5-1 record and are in a 3-way tie with Georgia and Florida for the SEC East lead. A closer look at the ‘Dores and you see that they lead the SEC with [...]

ATHENS- The Dawgs started it’s most difficult stretch of games with a win over the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday.  In a preview of this game last week, I had listed the “keys of the game” as: Dawgs D-line vs Vols O-line, win the penalty battle and Stafford must stay sharp. Sure enough, the Dawgs defensive [...]

ATHENS- A year ago, Georgia went into Neyland Stadium and took a 35-14 loss to the Volunteers. That one loss kept Georgia out of the SEC Championship game and possibly kept Georgia from a National Championship appearance.  Since then, the Dawgs have reeled off 11 straight wins, before loosing to Alabama last weekend. Something tells [...]

ATHENS- Georgia had a golden opportunity to step back into the #1 ranking after USC was upset by Oregon State on thursday night.  However, Alabama used an overpowering offensive line  and an equally-impressive defensive line to win in Athens 41-30. They say that the game is won in the trenches and this definitely held true [...]

ATHENS-  ESPN and the college football world is descending upon Athens….. Coach Mark RIcht has called for a “Blackout”….. His opponent has the SEC’s best rushing offense….. Richt’s  team has the SEC’s best run defense….. Something’s gotta give. Folks, It doesn’t get any better than this!!!!  Earlier in the week Bama’s strength and conditioning coach [...]
