With no Georgia game this week, it was a little hard to get into the games. It didn't help that there weren't many good games on paper this week. Obviously, they don't play games on paper.
First of all, we have to give credit where credit is due. Georgia Tech is now in the driver's seat not only to win the coastal division of the ACC, but the entire league. Tech overcame some demons by beating Virginia yesterday, and Clemson upset Miami to give the Jackets the lead in the division. You never know what might happen, but it will probably be too much for Tech to get in the national title picture. They were ranked 12 last week and will probably be in the top 10 this week. Tech might be on a collision course with Big East Champions Cincinnati in the Orange Bowl.
Florida and Alabama managed to hang on yesterday although neither looked like the best team in the country. They obviously are the best teams, but each better get right because anyone can beat anyone in the SEC. Florida has Georgia next week in Jacksonville. The problem for the Dawgs is that this kind of rivalry game isn't prone to big upsets. The Gators will be ready to play the Dawgs, and don't think for one minute that the Gators don't still remember the antics of two years ago.
Iowa hung on at Michigan State yesterday, and with that win, the horror story for the BCS. Iowa would be killed by any of the Big 3 teams the nation would be robbed of a huge game with the likes of Florida, Alabama, Texas, and USC.
It's Cocktail Party Week! Get ready for Jacksonville.

"Almost" Saturday: Week 7 Recap
How many times do you wake up on Sunday morning, look at SportCenter and realize that it was upset Saturday or blow out Saturday or even, disappointment Saturday? There always seems to be a theme, in hindsight, when it comes to college football.
Yesterday was, without a doubt, Almost Saturday.
In the Swamp, Arkansas almost pulled off the upset of the year yesterday by upsetting the Gators. A late field goal miss for the Hogs and a game winning field goal for Florida meant that the Gators survived, but after watching the game, I think Florida has some real problems. Obviously, Brandon Spikes didn't play, and he is the anchor of the defense, but my worries are with the offense. They just don't seem to be clicking on all cylinders. Next week they play Mississippi State against Dan Meyer an old Florida coach. Two weeks until the annual Bulldog Beat down in Jacksonville, but if Florida wants to hang with Alabama, they better get right on offense.
In Southbend, Notre Dame almost ended their losing streak to USC. The Trojans took a big lead at the end of the third quarter, and Notre Dame battled back to get within 7. Jimmy Clausen had a couple of shots at the end zone at the end of the game, but couldn't get the job done, and USC survived. The Irish believed that this was their season to beat USC, but they will have to wait at least one more year. Charlie Weiss just hopes he gets another shot at USC.
Ohio State almost got out of Purdue yesterday without a very disappointing loss. However, the highly hyped second year quarterback Terrelle Pryor turned the ball over all day and couldn't lead a fourth quarter drive to win the game. Pryor and the Buckeyes are now in serious trouble in the Big 10. They stand third in the conference behind undefeated Penn State and Iowa. Ohio State plays both of them in the next few weeks, however, if Pryor keeps turning the ball over, Ohio State will be playing in the Alamo Bowl instead of the Rose Bowl.
Virginia Tech almost escaped Atlanta with their national title hopes last night, but Georgia Tech managed to end the Hokies outside shot at the BCS's big game. Tyrod Taylor had a pretty good game, but just couldn't make the big play down the stretch to win it for Virginia Tech. For Georgia Tech, they are right back in the ACC title hunt with their first win versus a top 5 team at home in almost 50 years. Paul Johnson's Jackets just need to win out in the ACC and then everyone in Atlanta will be trying to figure out the ACC's tie breaker rules. Miami beat GT, VT beat Miami, and GT beat VT. Hmm, sounds like a crap shoot. Funny how Georgia Tech needs Virginia Tech to win out, because they lose a tie breaker if it comes down to just the Jackets and the Canes.
Finally, Georgia almost looked good yesterday against a terrible Vanderbilt team. Almost because Joe Cox was still ineffective for most of the game. He made some good passes, but he still didn't show the ability to lead the team with the passing game. The running game carried the offense yesterday, which is good. However, the Dawgs won't be able to be one dimensional against the Gators in two weeks.
Since the BCS Rankings will be released for the first time today, I'll give you version one of my Bowl Projections:
Music City Bowl: Georgia v. Clemson
CFA Bowl: Georgia Tech v. South Carolina
Orange Bowl: Miami v. Cincinnati
Sugar Bowl: Florida v. Iowa
Fiesta Bowl: Iowa v. Boise State
Rose Bowl: USC v. Penn State
BCS National Championship Game: Alabama v. Texas

Week 7 Preview
Locally it doesn't really feel like a football weekend.
Georgia is playing Vanderbilt and some people are wondering if the Dawgs have what it takes to beat Vandy in Nashville.
There isn't really a big game in the SEC this weekend. Florida and Arkansas is interesting for maybe a half. South Carolina has to beat Alabama to keep their hopes alive for an SEC Championship. But there are a lot of bad games this weekend.
If you want to know what will happen, here it is.
Texas will beat Oklahoma, and it won't really be a close game in the second half. Maybe Texas by two touchdowns.
Florida will play around with Arkansas, and then put them away late in the third quarter.
Alabama will destroy South Carolina. Nothing else to say.
Georgia Tech will come up short against Virginia Tech who is still in the running for a National Title.
Notre Dame will most likely be the biggest story on Sunday morning. They will beat a USC team that just isn't as good as years past.
Georgia will beat Vanderbilt, but don't expect to feel any better Dawg fans. Something like 27-16, won't make you think that the Dawgs are ready for the Gators.
Enjoy the games, if you can.

Reaction to Georgia/Tennessee
I had to work on Saturday, so I found out (through Tivo) about three hours after the rest of the world that Georgia embarrassed themselves in Knoxville Saturday. It's not embarrassing that the Dawgs lost to Tennessee. Tennessee is a good program, and they are very talented on defense. Neeland Stadium is a tough place to play, it would be foolish to think you can just walk into that stadium and win a game.
However, the Georgia loss to Tennessee was embarrassing because Georgia under preformed in almost every aspect of the game.
Let's start with the offense. 3 points! I know Tennessee has a good defense, but all we could manage on offense was 3 little points thanks to a 53 yard field goal? A 53 yard field goal! Georgia never took a snap inside the Tennessee 30 yard line. It wasn't that the offense didn't play it's best, or that we made some big turnovers in the red zone, we never got into position to score. The only reason we scored on offense was that Blair Walsh can kick the ball 3 miles.
Joe Cox didn't play well again, and at this point in the season you have to think that the Joe Cox we saw on Saturday is the real Joe Cox, not the Joe Cox that played so well against South Carolina and Arkansas. Washaun Ealey was a non factor, as was Richard Samuel. There wasn't even an attempt to run the ball in the second half. Don't forgot, this was a 24-19 game half way through the third quarter, and Georgia was lining up in the shot gun, throwing it around like we have a Heisman trophy quarterback under center.
The most telling play in the entire game for the offense was the fourth and 1 play with about 10 minutes to play in the fourth quarter. You have to go for it if you are Georgia, and Mark Richt made the right call to send the offense back out on the field and go for fourth and 1. Georgia lines up with 3 wide receivers, in the shot gun, with a running back set to the side of Cox. Joe Cox misses the tight end in the flat, and all hope of a Georgia win goes right down the drain. Now, please tell me where in the history of this great University we stopped having the ability to line up, man on man, power I formation, hand the ball off, and fight your way for one yard!? This isn't the PAC 10! This is the SEC! If you can't line up and get one yard in an attempt to save your season, you don't deserve to win! That is what is so sad about Saturday's game. After playing so well against LSU and coming up just short, Georgia deserved to lose, and lose badly to Tennessee.
The defense is a different situation all together. I wish I could say that I am surprised that Georgia's defense gave up all those yards passing to a quarterback who was on the brink of getting benched, but I'm not. This is what Georgia's defense is now. Forget the day's of Erk Russel. Forget the days of David Pollack. Even forget the days of Charles Johnson and Kellen Johnson. This defense is just bad. They don't tackle well, they don't get off of their blocks, and lord knows they can't cover a receiver down field to save their lives. Think back to the Arkansas game. How many times did you see the ball thrown to a receiver who didn't have a defensive player within 10 yards of them? Think back to Saturday. Didn't you just know, when Crompton dropped back and bombed that pass down field that you were going to see a receiver open, and an out of position Georgia defender running as hard as they can trying to catch up? Rashad Jones is not a good safety in coverage, and Brian Evans may be talented but he is out of position almost every time the ball is thrown deep.
You might be thinking that I'm being a little hard on the defense. We did return an interception for a touchdown on Saturday!
Look at the play again. The only reason Mr. Rambo was in position to pick the ball off after it had been deflected was that the defender was 5 yards away from him, and he had plenty of time to react to the deflection. He was out of position. He just got lucky.
The special teams obviously were one bright spot for Georgia. The blocked punt was nice to see, only because we haven't been trying to return punts or block them all season. Usually Georgia just sends the back up quarterback out there to throw a hand up.
So what does it all mean? Where should we go now?
Well, this season is over. I know we still have 6 games to play, but for all intents and purposes, it's over. Mark Richt is now a victim of his own success, and 3-3 is just not good enough in Athens. We are going to lose to Florida, we will most likely lose to either Auburn or Georgia Tech and we might just lose to both of them. We are looking at 8-4 at best and 6-6 is a very real possibility. Now the important thing is trying to build something for next season.
At quarterback, you have to make a decision. Is Logan Gray going to be your starter next season? If he is, then he should be playing starting this week at Vanderbilt. I have heard some amazing stories about Joe Cox. He said all that he ever wanted to be was the quarterback at Georgia. He told players in the huddle in 2006 against Colorado that if they couldn't score two touchdowns to win the game, they didn't deserve to put the "G" on their helmet. I can respect and admire the passion he has for the school and the program. But we can't let this season be a failure and then assure that next season will also be a failure. If Logan Gray is going to be the man, he needs to take his lumps now, so we can try to put together a bounce back season next year.
Here's the problem. Logan Gray is not going to be the man. Aaron Murry will be the starting quarterback next season, so Richt will have to take the red shirt off of him to get some experience this season. Some people might think that this situation is just like the 2006 situation with Matt Stafford. It's not. Stafford played in the first game of the season as the third string quarterback. His red shirt was lost from the start of the season. Murry has now sat out the first half of the year, so you would pretty much be cutting his eligibility by 6 games. I don't think Richt is going to play him at all this season.
So where does that put the program? Murry will start next season as a red shirt freshman, and he will play like a red shirt freshman. Remember that once Stafford took the starting job in 2006, we went up to Lexington and lost to Kentucky. On the other hand, we went to Auburn and beat the number five team in the country the very next week. Aaron Murry is very talented, and he is going to win some games, but in this conference, you have to take your lumps before you can win titles.
A lot of people want Mike Bobo gone. I don't think that is a good idea. He doesn't have the tools to work with this season, so you can't just put this at his feet.
However, Willie Martinez has to be fired at the end of the season. There are no more excuses. I know he is Richt's best friend, and I'm sure he is a good man with a good family. But none of that matters when it comes to his job. His job is to prepare Georgia's defense to win ball games, and he simply is not doing it. We have good recruits on defense, so either is defensive strategy isn't getting the job done, or he can't coach the talent he has. Either way he has to go.
If Mark Richt allows his personal relationship with Willie Martinez to play a role in his decision, then Mark Richt is not the leader Georgia needs.
Being in charge means making the tough decisions. It won't be fun for Richt, but its right for Georgia. Martinez has to go.

Week 6 Preview
What a weekend of college football we have for our viewing pleasure this Saturday! This is the best weekend of games in the SEC all season, and there are some good non-SEC games as well.
The pre-game story lines are almost so good, you don't think the games themselves can live up to the hype.
The focus of the college football world has been on Tim Tebow and the most analyzed concussion in recent memory. Tebow's status has been debated and discussed by everyone from ESPN to yours truly. Here is the simple fact about Tebow, if he plays Florida will win. If he does not play Florida will most likely win. Like I said before, if Tebow isn't 100% then he shouldn't play. Period. The worst possible outcome of this weekend would be for Tebow to suffer another concussion, win or lose and then miss significant time. I'm not just being a homer, but Florida is a long way away from the SEC title game, so they can't afford to lose Tebow for more than just this week.
Another big game nationally will be Alabama traveling to Oxford to take on Ole Miss. The Rebels were the trendy pick coming into the season, but couldn't live up to the hype against South Carolina a few weeks ago. For Ole Miss, this game can make or break the season. A scary place to be playing if you are Alabama. There is nothing more dangerous than a team with their backs against the wall.
Besides Tebow's head, no topic has gotten as much press this week as the Florida State head coaching situation. Bobby Bowden is one of the best coaches in the history of college football, and if they had a Hall of Fame for human beings, he would be a first ballot selection. He does not deserve to be treated like some scrub head coach that the boosters are trying to run out of town. If FSU wanted Bowden to step down, walk into the man's office, and ask him to bow out gracefully at the end of the season. Bowden is a man of integrity, no reason to put a black eye on the program that Bowden made during the 90's. Bowden and the 'Noles host Georgia Tech on Saturday Night.
Locally, Georgia has to figure out what type of team they are going to be. Are they going to be an offensive juggernaut that can put points up by the barrel full. Or are they an offense that can only muster 1 first down in an entire half of football at home? Traveling to Knoxville is never an easy task, and the Tennessee defense is for real (Just ask Florida). Eric Berry and the Vols aren't having a great season, and would enjoy nothing more than sending Georgia home with a 3-3 record.
Enough of the talk, let's get to the picks!
#3 Alabama v. #20 Ole Miss 3:30 pm CBS
For Alabama this is just another game on their way back to Atlanta and another showdown with the mighty Gators. For Ole Miss, this game is everything. Vaught-Hemmingway Stadium might not be the biggest in the conference, but it will be rocking like there are 90,000 fans on Saturday afternoon. The X's and O's don't add up, but sometime you just have to go with your guy. Ole Miss needs this one, and they are at home.
Prediction: Alabama 13 Ole Miss 16
#22 Georgia Tech v. Florida State 8 pm ESPN2
Tech's offense played well last week on the road in Starkville. Tech's defense is showing signs of coming around. Tech finally got the monkey off of their backs last year when they beat Florida State for the first time since Jimmy Carter was President. Florida State is in turmoil with big questions on the future of their hall of fame coach Bobby Bowden. Everything about this game is pointing one way. Win one for the Gipper!
Prediction: Georgia Tech 24 Florida State 34
#1 Florida v. #4 LSU 8 pm CBS
Will he play? Will he sit? If he plays will he be the same player? Bottom line: It doesn't matter! Florida's defense will win this game, the offense can kick field goals. LSU's offense couldn't score a touchdown on Georgia's defense for 3 1/2 quarters, what makes anyone think they will score a touchdown on Saturday night? They are at home, so they will play better. But Florida is in a league of their own.
Prediction: Florida 27 LSU 13
Georgia v. Tennessee 12:21 pm(?) SEC Network (Aka Peachtree TV)
Tennessee is not a good football team. Jonathan Crompton is not an SEC quarterback. You can't be one dimensional in the SEC. Georgia has to win this game. Mark Richt doesn't lose games on the road, and he has already lost one this season. Lane Kiffin might bring Tennessee back, but they aren't back yet. #24 is back for Georgia, that's all you need to know(shon). You can call him Elton John this weekend because Washaun Ealey is coming out! Not to metion that Georgia will have a lucky charm in the stands (My little brother!).
Prediction: Georgia 21 Tennessee 17
Enjoy the games!

Florida State is in turmoil with big questions on the future of their hall of fame coach Bobby Bowden. Everything about this game is pointing one way. Win one for the Gipper!
Prediction: Georgia Tech 24 Florida State 34
#1 Florida v. #4 LSU 8 pm CBS
Will he play? Will he sit? If he plays will he be the same player? Bottom line: It doesn't matter! Florida's defense will win this game, the offense can kick field goals. LSU's offense couldn't score a touchdown on Georgia's defense for 3 1/2 quarters, what makes anyone think they will score a touchdown on Saturday night? They are at home, so they will play better. But Florida is in a league of their own.
Prediction: Florida 27 LSU 13
Georgia v. Tennessee 12:21 pm(?) SEC Network (Aka Peachtree TV)
Tennessee is not a good football team. Jonathan Crompton is not an SEC quarterback. You can't be one dimensional in the SEC. Georgia has to win this game. Mark Richt doesn't lose games on the road, and he has already lost one this season. Lane Kiffin might bring Tennessee back, but they aren't back yet. #24 is back for Georgia, that's all you need to know(shon). You can call him Elton John this weekend because Washaun Ealey is coming out! Not to metion that Georgia will have a lucky charm in the stands (My little brother!).
Prediction: Georgia 21 Tennessee 17
Enjoy the games!
Pros and Cons for UGA v. GT in the Dome
In the past couple of days, there has been talk that the 2011 Georgia/Georgia Tech game could be moved to the Georgia Dome to be apart of the annual Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Classic. Obviously, there are many factors to consider when talking about this issue, so here are some of the good and bad points.
PRO National Exposure
At this point, the Georgia/Georgia Tech game does not have a high profile on the national level. When you talk about college football rivalries you think of Ohio St./Michigan, Florida/Florida State, Oklahoma/Texas, USC/Notre Dame. You don't think of Georgia/Georgia Tech unless you live in the state. One of the reasons that the game has no national significance is that Georgia has dominated the series for the last decade. However, Paul Johnson seems to have Tech in a place where they will be ranked on a consistent basis. The thought of Georgia playing Tech in a top 15 matchup to kick off the 2011 season, with ESPN's College Gameday parked outside the Dome is an intriguing proposition for both schools.
Con Loss of Tradition
The biggest con in this situation is the fact that the Saturday after Thanksgiving would become just another Saturday in the state. No matter how the season has gone for either school, Clean Old Fashion Hate can be a silver lining on even the darkest of seasons. Both teams would have to schedule games on that weekend, each team would be playing a non-conference, non-rivalry opponent for the last game of the season. Who could the two teams find to fill that spot this late in the scheduling process? The thought of a post-Thanksgiving weekend filled with a Georgia v. Western Carolina matchup, while Tech hosts the Citidel, can sober up even the most optimistic fan.
Pro More Prep time for Georgia
Probably the biggest pro for Georiga would be the fact that there would be more time for Georgia's defense to prepare for the Tech option offense. Most teams only get 1 week to prepare for Paul Johnson's unique rushing offense, which gives Tech an advantage almost every Saturday. If Georgia were playing Tech in the Dome to open the season, Georgia would have the entire off season to get ready for the Tech rushing attack. As we saw in the second half of the game last season, Georgia could use all the help they can get when it comes to stopping Tech's running offense.
Con The loss of a home game
Home games are valuable in college football. Every year you hear about big schools paying out six figure dollars to no-name schools to come into places like Athens, Gainesville, and Knoxville to get their butts kicked. The reason that it works financially for these big name schools to pay out that kind of money is that they make even more money for every home game. Even home games against teams that don't put up a fight for more than a quarter. Tech would be the team giving up the home game in 2011, but I'm sure that if they gave that game up they would expect Georgia to give up a home game at some point in the future.
Pro Tech could surprise Georgia
The advantage for Tech would be that they would get to play Georgia early in the season, before the Dawgs are at their best. Historically, Georgia has been a slow starter. Every year Georgia plays close games with South Carolina, despite Georgia's advantage in talent, because the Dawgs haven't worked the kinks out yet. Georgia has also played close games with the likes of Georgia Southern early in the season. With Tech still trying to catch up to Georgia in the talent department, the early season game would benefit Tech.
Con The loss of funds in Atlanta
The Atlanta Business Council is the group that sets up these games. While the appeal of a Georgia/Georgia Tech matchup is obvious, there is one huge drawback for the Council. With Georgia and Georgia Tech's fans already in town, or close enough to make a day trip to the Dome, the city will lose out on a lot of money. Hotels, restaurants, and other attractions would not draw the same type of crowds that they would if you had two teams bringing fans from outside the state.
In the end, I don't think the game will be moved and that is a good thing. Tradition is what makes college football special, and while the Georgia/Georgia Tech tradition doesn't mean much across the country, it means a great deal within the state. Let's hope that the Saturday after Thanksgiving is always a day for left over turkey and Clean Old Fashion Hate.

Should Tebow Play on Saturday?
The talk of the college football world seems to be the debate over whether Tim Tebow should play this Saturday for Florida. Coach Meyer has said that he will be a game time decision on Saturday night, which most people think is just a ploy to keep LSU guessing.
I have no doubt that Tebow will play on Saturday night. I just hope it is the right decision.
Despite the fact that Tebow plays for Florida, I think he is one of the best players I have seen in my lifetime. The way he leads his team on the field and the way he conducts himself off of the field makes you hate, not the person, but the fact that he doesn't play for your favorite team. The thing I admire the most about Tebow is his determination. Last year in the SEC Championship against Alabama, Tebow seemed to just will Florida to the victory. In the national title game, even watching the game, you knew Tebow would win, because that is what he does. He is a winner in every sense of the word.
His determination could be his biggest enemy this weekend. If left up to him, there is no doubt Tebow will be playing. My hope is that he has people looking out for him that care more about his well being than the Gators' record.
Tebow does not owe the Gator Nation anything. He has delivered one title to Gainesville and is on track to deliver another title this year.
Obviously I have no idea how badly Tebow was originally hurt, or where he is in his recovery. All I can say is that if there is even a chance that playing on Saturday night could jeopardize Tebows future, I hope there is a doctor, a parent, or a coach with enough humanity to tell him that he can't play.
The truth is Florida doesn't have to win in Baton Rouge to play for the National Championship. Even with one loss, Florida can still play for the title.
One game, especially this game, under these circumstances, is not worth sacrificing the future of a young man that has been an inspiration to his teammates and a role model to everyone in college football about how to handle stardom.

Tebow or Herschel Who's the Greatest of all time?
Tim Tebow is only a couple of rushing touchdowns away from breaking Herschel Walker’s SEC record. As the legend of Tebow grows, some believe that Tim Tebow is the greatest college football player of all time.
Obviously, when you start talking about the greatest of all time, you have to contend with issues like playing in different eras and in this case, players who play different positions. However, statistics are statistics, so let’s take a look:
Who is the Greatest College Football Player of All Time, Tim Tebow or Herschel Walker?
By the Numbers:
In 45 games, Tebow has for 48 touchdowns rushing and 73 touchdowns through the air. In 33 games, Walker scored 52 touchdowns.
Tebow has won one Heisman Trophy and led his team to one national championship. The same can be said for Walker.
Walker had 28 games with 100+ rushing yards. Tebow has rushed for a touchdown and passed for a touchdown in the same game more frequently than any other player in college football history.
So the statistics are impressive for both.
Here is the truth, like it or not.
Before Herschel Walker came to Georgia, they were not a great team. The ’78 Dawgs had won the SEC with a team that overachieved. In 1979 Georgia went 6-5. With almost the exact team (with the addition of Walker), Georgia went 12-0 in 1980 and won the National Championship. In fact, from 1980-1982 Georgia’s record was 33-3. They won 1 National Championship and lost to Penn State in the 1982 title game.
You can’t credit Tim Tebow with Florida’s 2007 National Championship. He was absolutely apart of the team, but he was used as a special teams player in that he came into the game is short yardage and other special situations. He was not the quarterback or the running back on that team. Florida went 13-1 and won the title in 2006, with Tebow playing a limited role behind Chris Leak. In 2007, Tebow’s first year as a starter, the Gators were 9-4. The four losses that Tebow had in 2007 were more than Herschel had in his entire career.
Florida had been a national contender since 1990 when Steve Spurrier began his career in Gainesville. Georgia was little more than an afterthought before Walker came to Athens.
Tebow is continuing a tradition, Walker created one.
Walker is without a doubt the greatest college football player of all time.
For now.
As much as I hate to admit it, Tebow has a chance in this, his senior season to pass Walker and every other player in college football history.
If Tebow comes back from this concussion, leads Florida to an SEC title, wins the Heisman trophy for a second time, and steers the Gators to another National Championship then, Tim Tebow will be the greatest college football player of all time.
For now, he’s looking up at #34, just like everyone else.

Recap of Week 5
Well everyone deserves a bye week, so let's just call last week my bye week.
Although I didn't post, obviously I did watch the games this weekend. Good win for Miami, Notre Dame stays alive, USC gets back in the title hunt, and Florida had the best week of all, not having to play with Tim Tebow still stumbling around Gainesville.
But let's be honest. Around here, there was only one game that mattered and needs to be talked about now.
Georgia, between the hedges, falls in the final seconds to LSU.
I want to do this differently than I have in the past. I would like to take a few minutes to disprove most of the theories I have heard about the game this past Saturday.
1. Georgia lost because of the excessive celebration penalty.
False. 15 yards does not a game make. Whether it was a good call or a bad call, here were the facts following the penalty. Georgia had a 1 point lead with 1:09 to play at home. Even if Georgia were kicking off from the Tate Center, you have to win the game when those are the circumstances. You have just made the play to win the game, so win the game! By the way, the call was crap, but not the reason Georgia lost.
2. Joe Cox's terrible first half lost the game for Georgia.
False. Don't get me wrong, Joe Cox was as bad in the first half as any Georgia quarterback has been this decade. He was missing on passes that my mother could have made. It wasn't like the decision making was bad, he was taking the easy throws on most of his attempts and just missing. There is no excuse for that kind of play from a 5th year senior quarterback. All of that said, as bad as Cox was the score was 6-0 at half time, and Georgia was still in the game. You can't blame Cox for losing the game, because his bad first half play was still good enough to give Georgia the chance to win the game in the fourth quarter.
3. Georgia's defense had another bad game, and cost Georgia the game.
False. On the contrary, this was by far the best game the defense has played all season. With 6 minutes left in the game, the #4 team in the nation had only scored 6 points. The defense sacked the quarterback 6 times, made an interception in the red zone early in the game, and tackled as well as they have in the past two seasons. The defense came to play. Can't blame them for this one.
4. Mike Bobo's play calling cost Georgia the game.
False. Bobo didn't have a choice in the first half. Georgia's backs couldn't establish the run and Joe Cox was not on his game. You can't just throw the ball around the field when the defense can just sit their safeties back waiting on your inaccurate quarterback to fling the ball down the middle of the field. Bobo was working with what he had. In the second half, they put the Knowshon look-a-like in and got something going on the ground. When that happened, Georgia found a passing game. All of a sudden, Bobo remembered how to call plays? No, Georgia had no momentum and ultimately, the players on the field half to execute.
So why did Georgia lose?
Simple. One simple reason. One play.
As Georgia was kicking off from their own 15 yard line, following the A.J. Green penalty, LSU returned the ball to the Georgia 37 yard line. This kick return cost Georgia the game. Think about it, if LSU starts that drive at their own 45 or even the 50, they have to be thinking pass the ball down field to get into field goal range. At the 37, they were content running three times up the middle and kicking the game winning field goal. So what their running back broke one for the touchdown, they were content just winning by 1 point, they didn't need 7. This one play cost Georgia the game. Any of the other factors could have been overcome, but this one play changed the game.
One more thing to remember, Georgia is not going to win the SEC this year. This is a 9-3 team at best that will be playing on New Year's Day in either the Outback Bowl or the Capital One Bowl. Try not to lose sight of the reality of this team. They just aren't talented enough to compete with Florida and Alabama this year.
Let's go on the road, beat Tennessee, beat Vandy, and then get ready to hunker down against the Gators in Jacksonville. A miracle in Jacksonville, and no one will give a crap about celebration penalties.
