New Mexico State, November 1, 2011

From the editor : vance leavyWell I don’t know about you, but I’m completely worn

out from the glorious feeling of seeing our Bulldogs downthe Gators in Jacksonville. My oh my, doesn’t it feel grand?Now this is what Georgia-Florida is supposed to be like.

In this space last week, my last line was to make MarkRicht’s 11th take at Florida a beauty. Well I think we will allagree there won’t be any Oscars doled out for this one, butdoes anyone in the Bulldog Nation care that much with awin over the Gators? Instead the memories from St. Simonsto Jacksonville will be something we will all cherish for along time. My favorite was coming down the escalators fromthe stadium with the sound of “It’s Great to Be a GeorgiaBulldog” bellowing throughout. Man, it truly was great to bea Georgia Bulldog.

I know Coach Richt has to be proud of his team be-cause despite falling behind 3-17, no one on the Georgiasideline ever gave up. Instead, they kept fighting and even-tually the scoreboard read 24-20 in favor of the good guys.

The biggest kudos of the game has to go to the Georgiadefense led by one bad dude, Jarvis Jones. Florida could donothing with the football in the second half and it was ablast to see.

On the other side of the ball, it wasn’t easy, but whenbig plays had to be made someone with the Georgia G ontheir helmet was there to step up. Folks like Michael Ben-nett, Chris Conley, Tavarres King, Richard Samuel IV andAaron Murray simply were not going to let the Bulldogs loseon this Saturday on the banks of the St. Johns River.

And the same could be said for Georgia’s 12th man, thefans. The stadium was rocking with folks of all ages nevergiving up. Losing to Florida one more time wasn’t an optionanyone was willing to settle for.

However as great as the victory was, now we must alltuck it away in a special place in our heart and get ready forwhat the remainder of the 2011 season holds. Thankfully

this week’s homecoming oppo-nent, New Mexico State falls at theperfect time. Nothing against theAggies, but I’m certainly thankfullythere’s not an SEC opponent thisSaturday. In the perfect world, ourboys in red and black can mustersome fire power early with thehopes of giving the reserves plentyof playing time in the second half.

Unfortunately, the victory over the Gators didn’t comewithout some injuries. Let’s hope our team can do whatgood teams do and overcome them. Without question, theyshowed amazing resolve against Florida. Let’s hope it onlygets better in the final third of the 2011 season.

Now, I’m sure there are plenty of our readers who wantme to jump on the disappointing play of our special teams.Rather than do that, I encourage everyone to read KevinButler’s comments in his weekly players of the game spaceon page 21. He declined to name a player in that categorythis week. Instead he stressed the importance of everyone inthat department stepping up in order to fulfill the team’s sea-son goals. He’s dead-on when saying that improvementmust be achieved if dreams of making it to Atlanta for theSEC championship are to be had.

And surely our coaching staff is going to have to tinkerwith some adjustments this week in practice. And whoknows, a special teams coach that everyone has rightfullybeen asking for may soon happen. I know I have my fingerscrossed. Surely, there’s some extra money somewhere in thathefty department? And if not, I’m here to offer my service forno charge. Tell me when to report.

In all seriousness, let’s savor this Georgia victory. To saythey haven’t come that often in the last 20 years versus theGators would be a crude understatement. And let’s alsosavor the fact that this team has now won six games in arow. And it’s not the worst thing in the world that there’s stillplenty of room for improvement. Imagine what could hap-pen if that does in fact occur over the coming weeks as weface big rivals ... Auburn and Tech.

Enjoy this issue of BI. There are exactly 100 fan photosfrom the multiple days of frolicking that goes on before, dur-ing and after Georgia-Florida. And please do take the timeto read Murray Poole’s column on a page 5. Murray coveredhis 50th straight Georgia-Florida game and obviously a Bull-dog victory certainly made it extra sweet for this veterannewsman.

Now it’s time to go because I’m creeping up on mypress deadline and still have several more pages to go. ButI’m not complaining because there’s nothing like doing thisjob with the visual of down on their luck reptiles. Ain’t lifegrand.

See you on Saturday for Homecoming as we celebrateour awesome university and its football team that has cer-tainly given us plenty to be proud of.

IT ' S GREAT TO BE A GEORGIA BULLDOG !

Best selection of UGA apparel

1068 Baxter St. 706-546-0618

So hungry for a victory in Jacksonville, alot of things didn’t go right, but Georgia founda way and downed Florida 24-20. The Bull-dogs had infamously lost 18 of 21. That isnow history. Will Muschamp is 0-1 in the se-ries, the first Florida coach to have a losingrecord at any time to Georgia since interimGary Darnell lost to Georgia 17-10 in 1989.

Steve Spurrier, Urban Meyer, Tim Tebowand all of Gators mojo is gone. Florida is nowin the shoes of just about every other programin the country. The Gators have questionmarks and concerns. And because of the in-credible success of Spurrier and Meyer , twoicons sandwiched around the Ron Zook era,the pressure to succeed will mount forMuschamp. If the losses continue – and be-fore burying Florida, remember the three priorto Jacksonville came to the country’s two bestteams and the defending national champions– the comparisons to Zook will be inevitable.

What’s most important for Georgia, nomatter what the rest of this season or the futuremay hold, is that Muschamp’s Gators head tonext year’s game 0-1 against the Bulldogs andit will be an opportunity for a second straightwin.

It hasn’t been the soundest, most picture-esque football, but since an 0-2 start, the Bull-dogs have won six straight and have theopportunity to have an outstanding seasonwith a “win-out” over New Mexico State,Auburn, Kentucky and Tech on the flats.

Georgia had to do it against Florida with-out star freshman receiver Malcolm Mitchell,who didn’t even make the trip due to an in-jured hamstring, and a pair of defensive regu-lars who were suspended for the first half. Nocrocodile tears from the Gators, who’s quar-terback John Brantley was hobbled.

Despite another nightmarish specialteams performance and a passing game thatwent stone cold in the second half, the Bull-dogs got clutch power running on the go-ahead drive from Richard Samuel, hit threecritical throws, and played awesome secondhalf defense.

After the final defensive stand, the Bull-dogs were able to eat up the clock, the gameending on the Gators one-yard line with theGeorgia people collectively breathing an enor-mous, joyous sigh of relief.

In last week’s edition of Bulldawg Illus-trated, these are the five keys that I pointed tofor a Georgia victory:

Five Keys to Gigging the Gators

1. Avoid Major Special Teams Break-downs – Returning Drew Butler, Blair Walshand Brandon Boykin, the kicking game figuredto be a major strength for Georgia this year.Unfortunately, far too many times, specialteams has been a disaster. Walsh has strug-gled this season. The Bulldogs have gottencaught with their pants down on fake punts,most notably against South Carolina and Van-derbilt. The Dogs nearly lost to Vanderbilt ona late blocked punt. Georgia allowed a puntreturn for a touchdown against Ole Miss anda kickoff return for a touchdown at Vander-bilt. Florida has tremendous speed and, likethe Dogs, has had a week off to get ready.Georgia better be ready for the kitchen sink.

Result: It was awful yet again. Georgiagave up a kick return for a touchdown, an-other long kickoff return, missed a couple offield goals and had a couple of short punts.But the defense and some big plays saved theday.

2. Win the Turnover Battle – So manytimes in Jacksonville, tight games have beenbroken open by the Gators with interceptionsand fumbles – almost all of which have beenreturned for, or directly led to, touchdowns.There was a critical pick six in 2000 withGeorgia winning. Another in 2002. TheGators ran a fumble back for a score in ’06. JoeHaden had the 86-yard return that put theDogs away in ’08. Florida had a pick-six in’09. Last season, the Gators nearly scored onan overtime interception return. Georgia fanshave these painful memories. Remember thewin of ’07? There was Asher Allen’s recoveryand long return, and then Tim Tebow’s fum-ble that the Bulldogs recover to clinch the win.Florida also had a pick-six in that one, too.

Result: This is one of Georgia’s greatestareas of success. After an early interception

that led to a Florida field goal, the Bulldogswon the turnover battle and cashed in. Down17-10, the Bulldogs recovered a Gators fum-ble and converted a second fourth-downtouchdown of the game to tie it at 17-17.Without those two plays, the Dogs likely don’twin.

3. Run it Strong – In Georgia’s threewins over Florida in the last 21 years – yes thatdoes sound downright awful and unbeliev-able – the Bulldogs have had a 100-yardrusher. Robert Edwards scored four touch-downs and eclipsed the century mark in theBulldogs 37-17 win in Jacksonville in 1997.Danny Ware hit 100-yard plateau in the Dogs31-24 win in 2004. Knowshon Moreno hadthe signature performance of his career in2007, as he carried 33 times for 188 yards andthree touchdowns, leading Georgia to a 42-30win. Mark Richt is 44-5 as the Bulldogs headcoach with a 100-yard rusher.

Result: Mixed, but when the Bulldogsneeded it the most, Georgia came through.Richard Samuel ran hard and tough. He hasheld strong through position switches and in-juries. This was his crowning moment.Samuel powered the go-ahead touchdowndrive, capping it with a four-yard TD and thenended the game with a power run up the gutto the Gators one on fourth-and-three in theclosing seconds. The defense and runninggame gave the Bulldogs a big edge in time ofpossession, which can be overrated – i.e., oneteam scores a bunch in quick fashion – butcertainly wasn’t in this one.

4. Touchdowns in the Red Zone –Along with the defensive touchdowns, theother disastrous common denominator inJacksonville disappointments have been redzone failures – compounded by missed fieldgoals with those nasty winds off the St. Johns.In the three wins over the Gators, largely dueto the strong running attacks, Georgia haspunched in touchdowns. The Bulldogsscored five touchdowns in 1997, four in 2004and six in 2007. A big reason the Bulldogslost to South Carolina was three red zone tripsearly in the game that turned into two madefield goals and one miss. Vandy hung aroundbecause Georgia tried six field goals. The Bull-dogs don’t beat Florida when trying fieldgoals.

Result: Mixed, but when Georgia neededit most, trailing 20-17, the Bulldogs got thebiggest points of the game. It was the first timesince the ’07 win that Georgia had even ledthe Gators. The two fourth-down passes forscores and the final drive hook-up with im-pressive freshman Chris Conley will go downas three of the biggest completions for Geor-gia in recent series annals.

5. Strike First – Looking for commondenominators in the wins over Florida, strik-ing first against the Gators has been anotherkey to success. Georgia jumped out to 7-0leads over the Gators in 1997, 2004, and2007. Yes it got the Dogs lead, but just as im-portantly, it gave the Dogs confidence. Let’sface it, when Florida came up with an inter-ception on the first play last year, how manyBulldog fans said “here we go again?” If fansare thinking it, usually a lot of players are too.A good start is a near must as Georgia tries toopen the Muschamp era with a feeling heknew well as a Bulldog player in the series –losing.

Result: Didn’t happen. Got down 7-0,cut it to 7-3 and then the Gators ran the kickback to go up 14-3. They made it 17-3. ButGeorgia held tough, led by a gritty defense.Jarvis Jones, with four sacks, was the highlightplayer and the Bulldogs MVP. The defense al-lowed Georgia to hang around and then windespite the horrendous special teams displayand a second half stretch of nine straight in-completions.

This victory was enormous for the Geor-gia people and the program in every way,shape, form and fashion. That game-weektrip to the Golden Isles and the banks of the St.John’s will be much more enjoyable next sea-son. There will be a golden opportunity for asecond straight win and the realization onboth sides of the stadium, river and rivalry thatthis series may well have turned back Georgia’sway.

There’s nothing like beating the Gators

As the annual bash between the Bull-dogs and Gators approached this pastweek, I have to admit that I looked to thisparticular game with a little more anticipa-tion, a little more sense of excitement thanI have in recent years.

The 2011 Georgia-Florida gamemarked my 50th and, no, I’m not talkingabout my 50th birthday – I’m a few yearspast that already. Nor am I referring to my50th wedding anniversary, still have someyears to go before that big milestone ar-rives.

You see, this year’s Dogs-Gators clashon the banks of the St. Johns River in Jack-sonville was the Golden Anniversary of myGeorgia-Florida game attendance. Eversince I attended my first game at the oldGator Bowl stadium in 1962, as a studentat UGA, I’ve been fortunate and blessed tobe able to be present at every Georgia-Florida battle since. And this past Satur-day’s 90th hookup of the Bulldogs andGators was my 50th straight. Only an houror so ride away, I covered the majority ofGeorgia-Florida while serving as sports ed-itor of The Brunswick News and now, ofcourse, I do the same for this publication,Bulldawg Illustrated.

A number of people have asked if Ithought much about building this fairly re-markable attendance string for this partic-ular football game and my answer is alwaysthe same: No, I hardly ever dwelled on ituntil, that is, the streak climbed to 40straight or so. And only then, when folksbegan wondering how many of these greatborder wars I had attended, did I begin re-alizing that this thing was building towardthe magic 50 mark.

And when Bulldog fans this past weekasked me how I wanted this special Geor-gia-Florida occasion to play out, I hit themback with the words of the late, great AlDavis, the head chief of the OaklandRaiders: “Just win, baby!”

I had watched so many great Georgiavictories down through the years in thisstoried series but, as all Bulldog Nation isaware, the times in Jacksonville over thesepast two decades have been very lean forall those who wear the red and black. Nomatter how good the Bulldogs have beencoming into the Florida game, no matter ifthey have superior talent over the Gators,they most always – since 1989 – found away to lose to Florida. And that was at-tested by Georgia’s three wins and 18 de-feats against the Gators over the past 21years, entering this season’s contest.

So, as I headed down to Jacksonvillevia I-95 Saturday, that’s what I wanted mostfor my 50th anniversary present … simplya Bulldog victory. One that would snap thepresent three-game losing string to theGators, keep Georgia’s SEC East title hopesalive and, most of all, give the Bulldogs theconfidence they sorely needed to beginturning this series back the other way andfinally give the Dog Nation something tolook forward to again when they make thelong trek to north Florida.

As I arrived in the EverBank Fieldpress box Saturday and began looking formy assigned seat, I thought it was most ap-propriate that the first person I came incontact with near press row was ... VinceDooley.

Sitting by himself on the level rightabove and directly behind my seat, theGeorgia legendary coach was in his placenearly a full two hours prior to the sched-uled 3:30 kickoff. And as Dooley lookeddown at the playing field, where his teamconfronted the Gators in so many historicgames and the coach compiled a sterling17-7-1 won-loss record in this series, Iwondered if he was reliving some of the fa-mous comebacks his Bulldogs had fash-ioned on this very site … the most notableof them of course being the 1980 epicwhen Buck Belue and Lindsay Scottteamed up on the 97-yard touchdown passwith less than two minutes remaining togive Georgia the 26-21 win over the Gatorsand pave the way for the Bulldogs’ onlyconsensus national championship.

Yes, I’m thinking the great memoriesof Georgia-Florida past had to be goingthrough Coach Dooley’s mind as he sat

quietly in the press box Saturday and pon-dered what was to transpire in this year’smeeting between the Red and Black andOrange and Blue.

And what Vince Dooley was about towitness was a football game that had to re-mind him of some of those stirring come-back wins his teams pulled off inJacksonville.

When Mark Richt’s Bulldogs fell into a17-3 hole in the first half Saturday, onecould almost hear a collective groan fromnot only the 40,000-plus UGA fans in thestadium but among the millions of Bulldogfans everywhere watching via the CBS-tele-cast. But, this time, the Georgia Bulldogsdidn’t fold their tent, as has often been thecase in recent years. This time, just likeDooley’s Georgia teams of the 1960s,1970s and 1980s, the Bulldogs valiantlyclimbed back up the mountain, dominatedthe second half and went on to cage theGators by a 24-20 tally, a win that made forjoyous celebration both down on the fieldamong the players and coaches and also upin the East stands among the thousands ofBulldog faithful.

Like so many of Vince Dooley’s formerGeorgia teams, this 2011 Bulldog editiondoesn’t overpower its opponents withspeed, strength and flawless execution. Infact, it’s just the opposite sometimes as theBulldogs will make crucial mistakes, stum-ble and bumble and allow the other teamto stay close in a game that Georgia shouldreally be putting away. But, also like manyof Dooley’s best teams, these Bulldogs usu-ally find a way to win. Ever since the badshowing against a very good Boise Stateteam in the season opener and then astrong showing, but still a defeat, in thesecond game against South Carolina,Richt’s Bulldogs have done what it takes tokeep putting the “W’s” up. With the bigwin over the Gators, the UGA victorystreak has now climbed to six, an accom-plishment that has Georgia very much inthe running to make it back to the SECchampionship game for the first time since2005 … a scenario that will take place ifthe Dogs can close out with wins overAuburn and Kentucky and South Car-olina’s Gamecocks stumble against eitherArkansas this week or Florida the nextweek.

I think a couple of quotes I obtainedfrom Georgia players and coaches imme-diately after the dispatching of the GatorsSaturday clearly illustrate the grit, deter-mination and resolve of this football teamto not throw in the towel when the goinghas gotten tough.

“This being my senior year, this is thebest feeling in the world,” said cornerbackBrandon Boykin. “It’s worth every singlething we did to get ready in the off-season.”

“The way we’ve been shutting downteams with the run (Gators a -19 yardsrushing) we don’t realize it until the end ofthe game,” remarked junior nose guardJohn Jenkins, playing in his very first Geor-gia-Florida game. “We just try to play everyplay like it’s our last play and I guess a lotof good things happen that way. Great de-fenses make plays and we’ve been trying tobe a great defense. Just to get that ‘W’ andkeep pushing forward toward our goal, it’samazing, man! This game is everything Iheard it was, and then some.”

“I think this (UGA win and emotionalcelebration) just stems from Coach Richt’smessage the whole year, that we’re in thisthing, we’re on this bus and we’re going tofight, no matter what happens good orbad, day-in and day-out,” said offensive co-ordinator Mike Bobo, “and that’s just a re-sult of how much hard work those guyshave put in it. Getting behind and comingback like that, our team could have easilyfolded and we could have easily foldedwhen we started out 0-2. I’m proud of allof them. The bottom line is winning ballgames and that’s what we want to keepdoing and keep fighting for.”

Echoing Mike Bobo, the bottom lineis always what counts the most and, in thecase of this humble scribe, I simply could-n’t have been given a better 50th Georgia-Florida anniversary gift than the one MarkRicht’s Bulldogs gave me this Saturday past.

ow sweet it is for the players and fans to be preparing for an-other week of football after a win against the Gators in Jack-sonville. This feeling has come few and far between in the last20 years and the Bulldawg nation is loving it. Celebrating is

fine and dandy but the Dawgs still have much work to be done to ac-complish their goals. The first step will be this coming Saturday againstthe Aggies of New Mexico State. It should not be too much of a challengefor this steam rolling Georgia football team.

Getting Some Rest

For the first time this season, the Dawgs come out of a game with amultitude of different injuries and banged up players. First and foremost, DallasLee suffered a fractured right fibula this past Saturday and will likely be out for theseason. This is really unfortunate for the Dawgs as Lee and cemented himself asvery high quality player at left-guard for Will Friend along the offensive line. He willcertainly be missed. With that injury, the offensive line for Georgia all of a suddenbecomes paper thin for the rest of the season. Another player that appears to beonce again banged up is Isaiah Crowell. This time it was with a shin contusion.Coach Richt and company will need Crowell at 100% for Auburn in a couple weeksso you may not see much of #1 this week against New Mexico State. If he plays atall, he may only receive ten to twelve carries. A player that has not gotten much at-tention of late may be getting quite a few of the those carries that Crowell will besacrificing. That will be Ken Malcome. Malcome has had trouble with injuries eversince he arrived in Athens two years ago. Nonetheless, he was a very highly re-cruited player coming out of high school. The reason Dawg fans may see Malcomeis that Richard Samuel suffered a high ankle sprain on the last play of the gameagainst Florida. He will be out at least a couple of weeks. That leaves Crowell, Carl-ton Thomas and Malcome as the only scholarship running backs that will be ableto go. Crowell will likely get rest so a heavy dose of Thomas and Malcome can beexpected. Fans won’t see Malcolm Mitchell either who will likely receive another fullweek of rest in the hopes that his hamstring will be ready against Auburn.

Aggie Defense

Even with all these players most likely not playing for the Dawgs, it should bea game where the offense can hang 40 or 50 points on the Sanford Stadium score-board. New Mexico State’s defense can be summed up as atrocious. They are givingup an average of 30.3 points a game. Their toughest opponent thus far? Hawai’i. Itcould get very ugly very quickly for New Mexico State this Saturday. #3 DonyaeColeman is a player on the Aggie defense to keep an eye on. He’s a strong safety butleads the New Mexico State defense in almost every defensive statistical category in-cluding tackles and interceptions. He’s a senior and will end up playing on Sun-days but probably as a cornerback and not a strong safety (he’s only 5’11, 187). Youmight even even see New Mexico State coaches try to match-up him up one on onewith Orson Charles. That, of course, won’t work out well for the Aggies but it showshow much confidence they have in Coleman. Even with a future NFL-er, the defenseas a unit does not play well together and it should be a field day for Aaron Murray,Mike Bobo and the rest of the Dawg offense.

Here it goes again ... special teams ...

Almost every single week the poor special teams play of Georgia has beenbrought up. It’s now become a glaring weakness that opposing coaches look to ex-ploit on a week to week basis. Changes HAVE to be made to this department andsoon. If there was ever a week to introduce a new type of kickoff coverage into thespecial teams scheme, this is the week. The Dawg’s will not be in a tough battle towin this game so some experimentation in the special teams department may be anapt move by Coach Richt. It’s not just kickoff coverage though. Blair Walsh had an-other disappointing day kicking field goals against Florida, Drew Butler had theworst punting game of his career and Brandon Boykin did not bring a kickoff pastthe 20 yard line. There needs to be a complete overhaul. Georgia was lucky that spe-cial teams didn’t beat them this past Saturday. If they keep performing like they arenow, then eventually special teams will cause them a loss. With an opponent likeNew Mexico State, coaches can install some things in preparation for the Auburngame. It would not shock anyone to see some different players and different strate-gies in the special teams department this Saturday. Now, with that being said, oneof the strongest points of this New Mexico State team are their special teams. TaveonRogers is an explosive return man for the Aggies. He already has two returns fortouchdowns this year and is averaging almost 30 yards a return. So, it will be quiteapparent whether the changes that are put forth will work against New Mexico Statebecause the one part of their team that isn’t a walk over is their special teams.

Intangibles

Yes, the Dawgs are coming off an emotional win against a rival in Florida. Yes,the Dawgs have another big game next week against the Auburn Tigers. Normally,it would be easy to say this is a trap game for the Dawgs. However, since New Mex-ico State has faired so poorly this year, they shouldn’t cause Georgia any problemsat all. It would be perfectly fine for Georgia players to look ahead a little bit toAuburn in their preparation this week. Another interesting little tidbit that shouldhelp the Dawgs is the fact that New Mexico State, on average, is in front of just over15,000 fans every Saturday. Can you say culture shock when they come out intoSanford Stadium on Saturday? 93,000 fans will be cheering against the Aggies.They’ll all be cheering hard for the Dawgs to continue their win streak and accom-plish their goal of reaching the SEC Championship game.

Record: 3-5 overall and 1-3 in the WAC after wins overMinnesota (28-21), New Mexico (42-28) and Idaho (31-24) and losses to Ohio (24-44), UTEP (10-16), San JoseState (24-34), Hawaii (34-45) and Nevada ( 34-48).

Mascot: Pete

Why New Mexico State could win: The ONLY possibleway the Aggies can defeat the Bulldogs is if New MexicoState catches Georgia coming off the big victory overFlorida and being totally flat and uninspired in a contestthat amounts to a sandwich game falling between theGators and Auburn next week. Don’t expect that scenarioto happen as the Bulldogs will fight to maintain their na-tional ranking but the Georgia secondary could receive an-other test from Aggies senior quarterback Matt Christian(6-3, 223) who passed for 432 yards and three touch-downs but was intercepted three times in the loss to Ne-vada. He also had a rushing touchdown.

Why New Mexico State could lose: Georgia has thesize and talent advantage on New Mexico State at almostevery position and unless the Bulldogs are caught totallylooking ahead to the Auburn Tigers, then this one won’t beclose. Make it Georgia by about 40-17.

What New Mexico State’s coach is saying:“We just have to use the Minnesota game (28-21 win) as an example as a BCS school,” said Aggies head coach DeWayneWalker. “They (Georgia) can lose just like anyone else. We just have to get back to work."

What New Mexico State’s fans are saying:“I have one word to describe the evening... disappointing,” said an Aggie fan after the loss Saturday to Nevada. “It’s timeto turn the page and learn from our mistakes. Georgia in less than a week...let's do this.”“An upset over Georgia would be bigger than any other game on the schedule,” chimed in another New Mexico State fan.“Remember, we compete to win..... Nevada lost to Texas Tech by one point, Tech beat Oklahoma. We can compete withgood teams. So put the best out there and play to win! I hate when people say ‘winnable!’”

Noteworthy:The Bulldogs and Aggies have met only three previous times in football and, of course, Georgia has been victorious in allthree. With the three games being played between the hedges, the Bulldogs won by 40-13 in 1995, by 37-0 in 2000 andby 41-10 in 2002.

New Mexico State scouting reportBy Murray Poole

By Jeff Dantzler#3 Donyae Coleman, S5-10, 175 Sr. Lynwood, Cal. (Compton Junior College) Far and away the Aggies best defender, Donyae Coleman is puttingtogether an outstanding season and has a good shot at All West-ern Athletic Conference honors. Coleman leads the team in tack-les by more than 20. He’s averaging right at 10 stops per game.Against the pass, he’s one of the nation’s best. Coleman has fourinterceptions, five breakups and nine knockdowns. He’s also re-covered a pair of fumbles. When Aaron Murray and / or HutsonMason is throwing, Georgia’s signal caller and receivers will have tobe aware of Coleman. And he’s mighty tough against the run.Coleman has a nose for the ball and a knack for making big plays.

#1 Taveon Rogers, WR6-0, 181 Sr. Lancaster, Cal. (Antelope Valley College) One of the top big-play threats in the Western Athletic Conference,Rogers is amongst the league’s leaders in receiving and kickoff re-turns. He leads the team in receiving yards, averaging just under80 yards per contest with six touchdowns. Rogers had one of hisbest performances in the Aggies win over Minnesota, as he hauledin four catches for 88 yards and a pair of touchdowns against theBig Ten Golden Gophers. On kickoff returns, Rogers ranks amongstthe country’s best, with an average of 29.9 yards per. He’s broughtback two for touchdowns, including a 100-yarder. With Georgia’sBrandon Boykin, who has three 100-yard kickoff returns in his ca-reer, these are two of the country’s best.

#3 Kenny Turner, TB5-10, 182 Jr. Olympia, Fla. (Fullerton College) New Mexico State has done an excellent job of getting the ball intothe hands of its most dangerous players, Taveon Rogers and KennyTurner. Amongst the top backs in the WAC, Turner is averagingover 80 yards per game, with a long of 78. He’s a good weapon outof the backfield as well, leading the team in receptions. If NewMexico State has a chance to pull off a major upset, Turner willhave to have a big day, and that will open up the passing game,where New Mexico State has threats. Turner had his best dayagainst Idaho, as he racked up 171 yards on 29 carries against theVandals.

Head CoachDeWayne WalkerIn his third season at the helm, DeWayne Walker took over for for-mer Kentucky coach Hal Mumme. He’s improved New MexicoState’s toughness. New Mexico State can run the ball and the Ag-gies have gotten much better on defense. That’s the side of theball he specializes. Prior to taking the job at New Mexico State,Walker was the defensive coordinator at UCLA for three seasons.He was the interim head coach – stepping in for the fired Karl Dor-rell – for the Bruins in the 2007 Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl. Under hiswatch, the Aggies are making the climb to the top part of the West-ern Athletic Conference. This season, New Mexico State has pickedup a pair of signature wins over woeful cross-state rival New Mex-ico and Big Ten foe Minnesota.

Dave Robertson showed up forthe Coastal Carolina game. He wasin Athens for the South Carolinagame, too. And he’ll be back forthe late season home games withNew Mexico State, Auburn, andKentucky.

You may think there is nothingso unusual about that. And youwould be right if you didn’t knowthat Dave lives in Toronto. Heprefers not to travel by air. Even ifhe did fly, it would be highly un-usual for someone who lives so faraway to attend more than oneGeorgia game each season. ButDave is not your average person.You no doubt now realize thatDave drives to the Bulldog homegames. While he will book a flightwith an airline when it is ab-solutely necessary, he prefers todrive. And drive he does—all 750miles.

He enjoys seeing the roadsides,the farms and the fields, the hillsand the dales, the mountains andthe valleys. Driving is relaxing forhim.

When his son Michael wasplaying high school hockey, Davecurtailed his trips to Athens. AfterMichael moved on from hockeycompetition, Dave got the itch toreturn to Athens. He began mak-ing the drive to Athens again andenjoys it.

“Especially if we win,” helaughs. The last couple of seasonshave been a little frustrating tohim, but he maintains confidencein the Bulldog program. “I’m adiehard, which is why I make theeffort to get to the games betweenthe hedges,” he said. “You do get aspecial sensation when you arehere.”

With friends in Monroe andrelatives in Loganville, Dave, aCanadian, enrolled at Georgia andfound Bulldog football too alluringto let go after he had earned hisdegree.

One of his friends called to tellme his story, and while I was no“Doubting Thomas,” I decided afew years ago to see for myself.One Thanksgiving afternoon, Iflew to Toronto and Dave pickedme up at the airport. After a nicedinner, prepared by his wife Diane,we turned in early. My wake-upcall — a tap on my door at 5 a.m..— was followed by coffee and a

sweet roll, and by 5:30 we were onour way South. We went throughthe border tunnel at Windsor be-fore daybreak, motoring over theAmbassador Bridge through De-troit, and began a leisurely drivethrough Ohio — passing throughtowns like Bowling Green, Findley,Lima, Wapakoneta, Dayton—andthen Cincinnati. Moving into Ken-tucky, our route took us to Lexing-ton and into Tennessee—Knoxvilleand Chattanooga. From Lexingtonto Atlanta, I was familiar with allthe landmarks that we would seeuntil arriving in Atlanta, where theGeorgia team was staying.

My recollection is that the triptook about 13 hours. Dave knewevery mile marker from Toronto toMarietta. This meant that he knewexactly where we should stop forgas, bathroom breaks, and a fast-food lunch. We wasted no time,and he did not drive excessivelyfast or recklessly. An excellentdriver, he put the cruise control onthe speed limit and literally flowedwith the traffic all the way down I-75. He could weave in and out oftraffic without touching the brakepedal. There is an art to drivingthe Dave Robertson way.

“I try to stay within the speedlimit,” he said. “After all, gettingthere 30 minutes or an hour earlierto say you have done it does notexcite me. Those speeding ticketsaren’t worth it.”

Normally, under those circum-stances — a driver to manage thetrip — I can fall asleep easily, but Iwas so excited about the experi-ence that I don’t think I nodded offa single time.

When we pulled out of Dave’sdriveway, a light snow had fallen.There was about two inches on theground, which I found emotionallystimulating. “If you lived here,”Dave chuckled, “and two inchesturn into two feet or more, youdon’t find snow all that exciting.”

Now that you know DaveRobertson’s story, you have to paytribute to his commitment and loy-alty to the Dawgs. He is a patientBulldog fan. He loves being inSanford Stadium during a homegame, and he appreciates the entireexperience too much to let themistakes of a 19-year-old kid causehim to want to fire some coach andgive up his tickets.

Dynamite Dawgs in Distinct DestinationsBy Cheri Leavy

Don’t hold it against Chris that his father was the director of our rival school Georgia Tech’s Fine Arts Program in Paris; they lived there for several years during Chris’ youth and it influenced his love of french cuisine but it did not influence his choice for college. While studying history at the University of Georgia and joining Chi Phi fraternity, Chris worked at DePalma’s Italian Cafe and it is said Chris created the beloved signature dish, Pasta DePalma. After Athens, he went back to France for several years and apprenticed under Chef Philippe Deschamps at Chez Toutoune.

Chris moved to Aspen from his hometown of Atlanta in 1996 where he had been working for Buckhead Life Restaurant Group. In Aspen, he started out as sous chef at Campo de Fio-ri and then the Caribou Club. Chris and co-owner Jodi Larner bought the popular French/American bistro, Cache Cache, in 2004. Chris has served as executive chef there since 2000. Aspen offers a fabulous lifestyle for his family. His son is already skiing the blacks.

Looking back at Justin’s longtime love of surfing and his studies at UGA in the early ‘90s now makes me think he has arrived exactly where he intended. He majored in Economics and minored in Spanish and now uses the skills he learned to work with clients for invest-ment opportunities for ownership of Capella Pedregal Residences located on the 5-star resort overlooking the breathtaking Cabo Bay on the coastline of Mexico.

Justin and his wife Lynette are enjoying their experience of moving to Mexico from our coast of Georgia where Justin grew up on St. Simons Island.

I imagine Justin’s brothers in Lambda Chi Alpha think he has figured it out living,working and playing in such paradise!

This talented artist moved to Brooklyn and over the last six years has built a national client base through commissioned portraits and enjoyed success in the business end of art through gallery management and promotion.

Moxt recently, Elizabeth is painting for an art studio that creates show room pieces for cli-ents such as Ralph Lauren and Tory Burch. In addition, she is pursuing a Masters in Mental Health Counseling at Brooklyn College. NYC has a great contingency of Bulldogs enjoying the hip scene and creative culture.

One of the joys of publishing Bulldawg Illustrated is getting to keep up with the incredible alumni and Bulldog fanbase. Let me introduce you to a few that have left Georgia and ventured to neat destinations like Brooklyn, Aspen and Cabo San Lucas.

Elizabeth’s self portrait


fter appearing in four games in his true freshman sea-son in 2008 before taking a redshirt due to a season-ending ankle injury, Georgia flanker Tavarres Kingbounced back strongly in the 2009 season by catching

18 passes for 377 yards and a touchdown including a career-high 109 yards on three receptions against Kentucky. For hisperformance, he earned one of the Bulldogs’ Newcomer of theYear awards for offense. In his redshirt sophomore year in 2010,King responded with 27 catches for 504 yards and three touch-downs. In Georgia’s overtime loss to rival Florida, the 6-1, 192-pound King, from Habersham Central High, snared three passesfor 104 yards including a 63-yard touchdown catch. Enteringthis season’s Florida game this past Saturday, King showed 22receptions on the year for 246 yards and four touchdowns. Inthis question-and-answer with Bulldawg Illustrated, King andhis mom, Sarita Davidson, provide Georgia fans with a personalinsight into the player who wears No. 12 for the Bulldogs.

What do you view as the most important quality in beinga leader for the team?

I think I lead by example but along with that I’m prettyvocal also. I talk a lot and if something is wrong I voice my opin-ion and try to fix it. When guys mess up I’ll tell them and expectthe other leaders on this team to tell me when I do so. For in-stance, after game one when I had two drops against Boise State,our leaders like Aaron (Murray), Orson (Charles) and Ben Joneskept me up and didn’t let me sink down in the dumps.

Who do you consider to be the most important mentor inyour life so far, and why?

It would be my parents. They were a big component inwho I am as a person and how I treat people and the way I goabout my business. They’ve always been there for me and havenever missed a game, home and away. I’m extremely blessed tohave the parents I have.

What fellow player on the team motivates you to be thebest you can be and why is that the case?

Orson Charles and I mess around with each other all thetime and say we want to be like each other. Orson gives 110 per-cent all the time and when I see that it always motivates me togive my all and be the best I can be.

What is the best play or game you’ve had while at Geor-gia and why?

My favorite play would be the long touchdown pass (63yards) last year against Florida. I got behind their secondary andAaron put it right on the money. And for my best game, I would

probably say last year’s Arkansas game (four catches for 91 yardsand a TD). A.J. (Green) was out and our receivers did a great jobstepping up, and I think I did my role … whatever I had to do.It was a fun game, even though we lost.

When you leave Georgia, what do you hope folks sayabout your contribution to the program?

I want them to say I was a guy who really hustled and thatI was a team guy, one who would block for my teammates whenthey needed it. Mainly that I was a team player and very un-selfish.

What regular Georgia opponent do you enjoy playing themost and why?

It’s always the Florida game. It’s just a fun and high energygame. Everybody hypes it up since the beginning of the season.The fans just love it and are excited about it and I feel blessed tobe a part of it.

Bulldawg leader: Tavarres KingBy Murray Poole

Foundation:Sarita Davidson

Parents names:Brian and Sarita Davidson

Siblings names:Keia, 28; Shaz, 26.

Main attribute that makes Tavarres a leader:I think he’s always been like that. He leads by exam-ple but he’s also very vocal and I think he got thatfrom me.

Best childhood story:I can remember when Tavarres was very young andI would always try to teach him to be a gentleman.Well, before we would get out of the car, he alwayswanted to open the door for myself and his older sis-ters. He didn’t want us to get out before he openedthe doors. He was a little bitty fellow and it was hardfor him but he continued to do that. That was what Ialways instilled in him, to be a gentleman, and I stillask him today, “You still opening doors for people?”

Best thing about his time at Georgia:Tavarres has grown a lot since he’s been at Georgia.He’s taken on the role of being a leader now, espe-cially with the receivers. When he first got there hewas a little timid due to the transition from highschool.

Nicest thing he’s ever done for you:I remember Tavarres being in a talent show when hewas young. He sung this song called “Moma, youknow I love you.” I think it was Boyz 2 Men. He gotthird place and dedicated it to me. I still cry every timeI hear it.

A few things about Tavarres outside of football:He thinks he can sing and he likes to play basketballand is pretty good at it. And, of course, he loves hisfamily time.

Most entertaining story about UGA fans:The Georgia fans are probably the most supportivefans I’ve ever seen. The thing that really made mesee that was when we flew to play Arizona State (in2008). I think we had as many fans as they did andit was absolutely amazing.

What has Coach Richt meant to Tavarres?Coach Richt is a good Christian man and I just thinkhe plays that role to his players and they really lookup to him a lot.

It is time for the most highly anticipated regular season college football game since 1971, when undefeated Nebraska toppedunbeaten Oklahoma 35-31 in Norman in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 battle for the ages. It will be tough for this one to live up to that, butLSU and Alabama have separated themselves by a wide margin from the rest of the country. LSU is a shade more explosive, Bamaa touch more solid. Either can score on any play under any circumstance. For the loser, what is really tough, is that in nine of 10years, it’s a national title team. The loser of this one won’t get to play for the conference crown. Oklahoma State continues to lookimpressive. For all of the October “panic” from the national media over a slew of unbeatens, the schedule and season continues totake care of itself.

1. LSU – The Fightin’ Tigers should be at full strength for one off the biggestgames program history. LSU beat Oregon 40-27 in the opener and has won everygame since by double digits. Les Miles has an incredibly talented squad that hasproven as well as any team in the country the last few years that they can win the biggame.

2. Alabama – Nick Saban has a defensive dream team. He’s got the best tail-back in the country and an awesome offensive line. Alabama had those heart-break-ers with LSU and Auburn get away last season, and Saban has used that as motivationfor the Crimson Tide, who are gunning for a second national title in three years.

3. Stanford – Holy smokes, what an incredible victory for the Cardinal, whocame back to tie it and then win it in triple overtime by 8, as a 7.5 point favorite.Gotta go for two starting in that third O.T. Andrew Luck was excellent, but Stan-ford has more. The Cardinal’s running game is outstanding, and that makes the toppick extra difficult to defend.

4. Oklahoma State – The Cowboys are flying high! In a big conference show-down with high-powered Baylor, Oklahoma State jumped to a 42-0 lead. The Cow-boys offense just may be the nation’s best.

5. Boise State – Kellen Moore continues to shatter records. Chris Petersen’srecord at Boise State – even though Boise State is not in a major conference – isnothing short of incredible. The Broncos will slaughter hapless UNLV in Sin City,then TCU comes to town.

6. Oregon – The Ducks have played great since losing the opener to LSU.Oregon just poured on the points against Washington State. Chip Kelly does someout of the box things, like going for two up 6-0 early in the game. The Ducks hadbetter not overlook Washington in Seattle before visiting Stanford for a PAC-12dandy.

7. Oklahoma – Coming off of a tough loss at home to big underdog TexasTech, the Sooners steamrolled Kansas State in the “little apple.” After their last 17losses under Bob Stoops, the Sooners are 17-0 with an average margin of victory ofover 30 points per game. The reeling Aggies visit Norman Saturday.

8. Arkansas – The Razorbacks are living dangerously. Just like in Oxford, theHogs fell behind Vanderbilt by double digits in the first half, came back and then hadto hang on for dear life. Down 28-20, a 94-yard fumble return for a touchdown goesdown as one of the big plays in school history. If LSU beats Bama, and the Hogs winout . . .

9. Clemson – The Tigers undefeated national championship dreams camecrashing down on the flats, as Clemson fell to Tech 31-17. Clemson still has the juiceand the schedule to play for and win the ACC Championship – with a big one againstthe Gamecocks to close the regular season.

10. South Carolina – Without Marcus Lattimore, the Gamecocks are diggingdeep and relying heavily on the talented defense. They came through with a mightytough, hard fought 14-3 win at Tennessee. Now comes an extremely tough test inFayetteville against Arkansas, which blew the Gamecocks out last year in Columbia.

11. Nebraska – Big Red is rolling. Since getting blown out at Wisconsin andfalling 21 points down to Ohio State, Nebraska has been a different team. The Corn-huskers were very impressive in a 24-3 win over Michigan State and should steam-roll Northwestern with a lot of fans on their side in Evanston.

12. Houston – Case Keenum continues to shatter records. He threw for ninetouchdowns – that’s NINE – in a Thursday night blowout victory over Rice. TheCougars are the nation’s most unknown unbeaten. If they keep winning and somethings happen, Houston may get a shot at a big boy in a major bowl.

13. Penn State – A late October snowfall provided a classic backdrop in HappyValley, as Penn State edged Illinois 10-7. The Fightin’ Illini missed a field goal on thelast play of the game to win it. The only loss is to Alabama. Now comes an open date,then a visit from Nebraska and trips to Ohio State and Wisconsin.

14. Virginia Tech – The Hokies survived a big time scare in sleepy Durham, es-caping with a 14-10 win thanks in large part to a trio of missed Duke field goals. Vir-ginia Tech and the Yellow Jackets both have Saturday off and then meet on aThursday night on the flats.

15. Cincinnati – The Bearcats have quietly put together a nice 6-1 campaign,with the only loss coming in Knoxville to Tennessee. Three of the next four are onthe road, starting with a trip to Pittsburgh. Then West Virginia comes to town.

16. Arizona State – The team to beat in the PAC-12 South blew out Coloradoand has a really good shot at finishing 10-2 then playing Stanford or Oregon in theleague’s first championship game. ASU will be favored at UCLA and WashingtonState, then Arizona and Cal come to town. But this is the PAC-12, so you neverknow.

17. Kansas State – The undefeated bubble was burst with authority by Okla-homa in Manhattan. Bill Snyder has again reguilt Kansas State into a competitive pro-gram, but there’s a way to go to get to the elite. Now comes a trip to Stillwater to facethe high powered Cowboys.

18. Southern Cal – It was a heart-breaker for the Trojans in triple overtime.USC has some talent, led by receiver Robert Woods. Nickell Robey, who had the go-ahead pick six for the Trojans late in the fourth quarter was a one-time Georgia com-mit.

19. Wisconsin – The Badgers have lost two straight heartbreakers Hail Marytouchdown passes at Michigan State and Ohio State. Wisconsin was flying high. TheBadgers beat up on a soft schedule and blasted Nebraska, but didn’t prove battletested for these two tight ones.

20. Auburn – The Tigers bounced back from an embarrassing loss to mightyLSU with a win over Ole Miss, which Gene Chizick called the best 2-5 team in thecountry. Michael Dyer is an elite tailback. The Tigers road schedule has been one ofthe toughest in the country.

21. Michigan State – It was a tough draw for Michigan State. Coming off ofone of the most memorable wins in school history over Wisconsin in East Lansing,the Spartans had to go to Lincoln. Next up is Minnesota. If the Spartans can pull ittogether, they could go 4-0 the rest of the way to finish 10-2.

22. Texas – The Longhorns have battled back since getting outclassed by Okla-homa and Oklahoma State. Texas has some good young players. The Longhornswill have a tough test at home in Austin from Texas Tech Saturday.

23. Michigan – The Wolverines have cashed in on a very soft schedule, losingonly once to Michigan state. Now come road trips to Iowa and Illinois before a verytough close at home with Nebraska and the Buckeyes.

24. Ga. Tech – The Yellow Jackets ambushed Clemson Saturday night on theflats. After losing two straight on the road, Tech returned to form, jumped all overthe Tigers, and posted a signature victory. When that offense gets rolling, it is mightytough to slow down.

25. Georgia – Oh did the Bulldogs need that in a bad way. After losing 18 ofthe last 21 meetings to Florida, Georgia overcame more special teams disasters, hitenormous passing plays and played excellent second half defense to knock off theGators 24-20. New Mexico State comes to Athens Saturday and then the old rivalAuburn.

Jeff Dantzler’s Top 25



JACKSONVILLE – Well, it finally happened. Georgiabeat Florida Saturday and for the first time since 2007, allthat side of EverBank Field decked out in Red and Blackstayed long after the final whistle to celebrate and rejoiceover the Bulldogs’ 24-20 comeback win over the Gators.

In a game where the Bulldogs again fell into a most fa-miliar hole at the outset – this one being by 17-3 – Georgiarode a valiant defensive effort the rest of the night as well asseveral clutch plays from a somewhat sputtering offense towhip the Gators for only the fourth time in the last 22 yearsand run their current win string to six consecutive games.

The Bulldogs (6-2, 5-1 SEC) step out of the conferencethis coming Saturday for the homecoming game againstNew Mexico State before then welcoming the AuburnTigers to Sanford Stadium for a contest that could possiblypave Georgia’s path back to the conference championshipgame.

Georgia sophomore quarterback Aaron Murray, whoexperienced an off night passing (15-34, 169 yards, one in-terception) but helped the Bulldogs rally with a pair offourth-down touchdown throws, likely summed things upthe best when he quipped, “It’s going to be a lot better forme now, going home to Tampa.”

“To God be the glory,” said Georgia head coach MarkRicht, after capturing just his third victory over the Gators(now 4-4, 2-4) in his 11 seasons at the Bulldogs’ helm. “I’mjust thankful for what just happened. I know it was just aballgame, but it seemed like a lot more than that. Just tosee our players and fans celebrate in this place especiallywas awesome. I’m very glad to be a part of this today.

“Thankfully, we got a couple of turnovers deep in ourterritory, and both of our touchdowns came on fourth downcalls,” said Richt. “They were very clutch plays. It takesthose types of plays to win this ballgame.

“This game was by far our toughest test since the SouthCarolina game,” Richt added. “We were battling somethings besides the Gators, our recent history in this gameand all. And we were able to exorcise a few things for thisone game.”

After surrendering a touchdown pass on Florida’s sec-ond possession, the Georgia defense shut down John Brant-ley, Jeff Demps, Chris Rainey and the rest of the Gatoroffense the rest of the evening, giving up only a pair of fieldgoals by Florida kicker Brad Phillips. Georgia’s specialteams, again having a rough night, yielded the Gators’ onlyother score, a 99-yard kickoff return by the mercurialDemps. For the second time this season, Todd Grantham’sdefense held an offense to minus yards rushing as it sackedBrantley six times and checked the Gators to -19 yards on22 attempts.

“We didn’t change anything (after Florida’s first score),”noted Grantham. “We just made adjustments as the gamewent on. We missed some tackles early on that hurt us.”

It looked like all the recent games in this series as theGators zipped into a 17-3 lead via a 31-yard pass fromBrantley to Jordan Reed, the 99-yard kickoff return by Jef-frey Demps and a 43-yard field goal by Phillips. The Bull-dogs’ score came on a 32-yard field goal by Blair Walsh.

But Georgia would then pull within 17-10 just beforethe halftime break. After Baccari Rambo recovered a ChrisRainey fumble – forced by Alec Ogletree – at the Florida25, the Bulldogs then converted a four-and-five at the 20-yard line, Murray throwing to redshirt freshman MichaelBennett for the touchdown. Bennett leaped high above aGator defender in the left corner of the end zone to comedown with the sterling catch.

The Bulldogs then tied the game with six minutes leftin the third quarter with nearly an instant replay of theirfirst touchdown. After a video review ruled that indeedShawn Williams had recovered a Gator fumble at theFlorida 18, Georgia could net only four yards to the 14. ButMurray then worked his fourth-down magic again, throw-ing to Tavarres King who, like Bennett, reeled the ball inover a Gator defensive back … this time in the right endzone corner. Walsh’s kick then made it 17-17.

But, once again, Georgia would be hurt by its kickoffcoverage as the Gators’ Andre Dubose returned the ball 63yards to set up a 40-yard Phillips field goal and put Floridaback up, 20-17. The Bulldogs then rode Murray’s passing

arm down to the Gator 19 but Walsh then misfired from 37yards, his second missed field goal of the day.

However, after the Georgia defense backed the Gatorsup at their own 10 and forced a short punt, out to the UF45, the Bulldogs covered the distance in nine plays to grabtheir first lead of the day at 24-20. A pass interference callkept Georgia’s drive alive and Richard Samuel, in for an in-jured Isaiah Crowell, capped it with a 4-yard run right upthe middle. Walsh’s PAT came with 13:18 remaining.

And that was to be the final tally as, time after time,the Georgia defense, spurred on by four sacks from soph-omore linebacker Jarvis Jones, halted Florida after theGators had gained favorable field position in Bulldog terri-tory. Then, the Bulldogs’ offense, behind the running ofSamuel and a clutch first-down reception by freshmanChris Conley, effectively killed the clock to protect the four-point lead. Georgia kept the ball the final 5:32 of the gamewith Samuel hammering out a first and goal at the UF 1-yard line before the Dogs let the clock run out.

What WorkedJust a determination and resolve to not buckle under

after they fell behind two touchdowns early – the downfallof so many Georgia teams in recent years against the Gators– was what worked best for the Bulldogs. “I didn’t see thedeer in the headlights look from our guys at halftime,” saidRicht. “What I saw was a bunch of guys focused and be-lieving. I thought our staff did a nice job of making adjust-ments to what they were doing. We had a good plan in thesecond half, and our guys executed well. And we finishedthe game without the drama at the end this time.”

And, of course, there was that Georgia defense, whichnot only shut down the Gator running game completely,but limited Brantley to just 12 completions in 34 attempts(for 245 yards) along with sacking the Florida QB the sixtimes.

What Didn’t WorkIt was again a horrific night for the Dogs’ special teams

as the Gators had kickoff returns of 99 and 63 yards, Walshhad his two field goal misses and even Drew Butler had anoff night punting, averaging just 34.2 yards on six punts.Also, although the Georgia offense made the plays when ithad to, there wasn’t much consistency against an athleticGator defense. “Year-in and year-out, Florida is the fastestteam we play,” said Richt. “They are so fast and our scoutteam just can’t simulate that kind of speed.”

Top PerformersNo question, Southern Cal transfer Jones was the ring-

leader of the Georgia defense with his five solo tackles in-cluding four sacks of Brantley and a forced fumble. Fellowlinebacker Michael Gilliard again sparkled with six totaltackles, and Ogletree made a successful return to the lineupwith five tackles. Also notching sacks in the win wereDeAngelo Tyson and Abry Jones.

Offensively, Crowell rushed for 81 yards on 18 carriesdespite giving way to Samuel much of the second half.Samuel, running tough down the stretch, added 58 yardson 17 trips. Tight end Orson Charles led the receivingcorps, which was missing freshman standout MalcolmMitchell and Israel Troupe, with four catches for 31 yards.King and Conley had three catches each while Bennett andMarlon Brown each pulled in two balls with Bennett andKing, of course, making the brilliant TD grabs. “We didn’talways throw the ball in their vicinity but when we did,they made clutch plays,” said offensive coordinator MikeBobo. “I was proud of all of them. Getting behind and com-ing back like that, our team could have easily folded andthey could have easily folded when we were 0-2.”

Aggies first, then the Auburn TigersBefore welcoming defending national champion

Auburn to town on Nov. 12, the Bulldogs will greet the Ag-gies of New Mexico State for homecoming this Saturday.

“Our seniors and coaches deserved this win,” said UGAlinebacker Jones, immediately after the long-awaited winover the Gators. “This was a big game for Coach Richt andwas a huge game for the SEC race.”

Game rewind: Dawgs 24, Gators 20By Murray Poole

Kevin Butler, former University of Georgia legendary kicker and a member of theGeorgia radio broadcast team, will each week during the 2011 football season se-lect his offensive, defensive and special teams players of the week for Bulldawg Il-lustrated. Here are Butler’s selections and reasons why for the Bulldogs’ 24-20 winover Florida Saturday in Jacksonville.

OFFENSE – Junior tailback Richard Samuel who came off the bench to re-place injured starter Isaiah Crowell and continually kept the sticks mov-ing by rushing for 58 yards on 17 carries and tallying the eventual winningtouchdown on a 4-yard run with 13:18 left in the game.“Richard has been asked to do many different things during his career,” said Butler.“He just went back to tailback from linebacker and could not have had a strongerperformance, even if he had not made the switch. We put the ball squarely on hisshoulders in the fourth quarter and Richard ran harder, stronger and with more bal-ance and determination than we’ve seen him run since he’s been here. He was re-lentless on the Gator defense right through until the last play of the game (9-yardfirst-down run to the UF one). His earlier score put the Bulldogs back in front andhe certainly deserves the game ball on offense this week.”

DEFENSE – Sophomore outside linebacker Jarvis Jones, who had fivetackles including four sacks of Florida quarterback John Brantley to leadthe Bulldogs’ outstanding defensive performance.“Jarvis had four sacks for minus-27 yards and the game-ending sack,” said Butler.“It was just an overall outstanding performance from Jarvis who was recently nameda finalist for the Butkus award. He clearly made his statement in a national gamethat he deserves to win that award as much as any other linebacker. Jarvis contin-ues to become more of a leader and his fresh outlook on the Georgia-Florida seriesis a great advantage in being able to know that he has never lost to the Gators.”

SPECIAL TEAMS – No award this week.“There was nobody that clearly stood out and this has been an Achilles-heel for usthe past couple of weeks, from missed field goals to touchdown returns on kickoffs,fake punts and underutilized punting,” said Butler. “These groups of men have tostep up to the challenge and take it upon themselves to complement the offenseand defense as a specialty team should. This is going to be a big part of the Bull-dogs’ ability to reach their goals this year as a team.”

This feels good

Gruff & GrumpBy Chad White and Al Hickson

Thoughts following the biggest game of the year ...Few things in life are better than the University of Georgia

beating the Florida Gators. That is exactly what we all re-membered this past Saturday night when the boys marchedon Jacksonville and won a gut check game.

Our players battled. There were several occasions a typi-cal Georgia team would have folded in this game. Not thisweekend. That was great to see.

Jarvis Jones is the best linebacker we have had on campussince Coach Richt has been here. That is saying something.

Isaiah Crowell reminds us a little of David Justice. He is asupremely talented player and he produces when he is outthere. He does seem to miss a good bit of time for being sore.

Richard Samuel stepped up big time. We love this guy’sattitude and effort. We may have better options most times.But, he plays hard and good things happened for both him andus this past weekend.

Our quarterback continues to struggle. But, he made somebig throws when we had to have them. Call him timely or callhim inconsistent. Both work.

Michael Bennett is a baller. Flat-out.Our special teams are what they call by-God awful. No

other way to put it. Just terrible.Florida is in a bad way. We helped further their misery.

Harkening back to the first point, doesn’t that feel great? Itis just a tremendous feeling.

The SEC East is really, really average at best this year. Wehave not beaten a good team yet this year. We may not haveto beat a good team to accomplish our goals. That is good for-tune. Let’s hope we can catch a break and be able to take ad-vantage of this good fortune. Hopefully it is not too late.Opportunities like this do not come around very often. Matterof fact, we can not remember a more favorable situation sincewe went to division play.

Thankfully they don’t use judges and SEC football isn’t abeauty contest. The Dawgs scored more points than thelizards. Our defense dominated that offense led by that coolersitting supposed coaching genius.

Will Muschamp is still a chump around Athens. He can’tenjoy coaching against the Dawgs.

Georgia beat Florida. Feels good. Feels right. Is good. Isright. Georgia beat Florida. Just keep saying it. It has beenawhile.

Go Dawgs!
