like this, it could be a long year for some folks.
Still can't believe they shut down UGA at the goal line multiple times last year. Can't just line up and whip those guys like it was possible in the past.
And then for them to take over a mile away from the end zone and score a touchdown to tie it right before half-time, they have to believe that they're going to win this game.

Four Trips inside the ten-yard line
at home, and we can't punch it in against Tech? They hustled to the ball and got our guys stopped. Then our vaunted o-line can't create a seam. Didn't this happen a long time ago?
Meanwhile, they run the ball up the gut all day long.
Totally disgusting.
Paul Johnson has a team, folks, and we may not win again for a while. Hate to say it, but when we can't stop the dive play, we're in big trouble. This game amounted to UGA being hopeful for opportunistic miscues. And with a good quarterback, there will only be so many.

When Tech's Line Outplays Ours,
we're in a heap of trouble. Even if their line plays us even, with the option trickery, they may one day blow us out.
Won't be today, but our 17 to 14 lead is very slim.
We may win, but this game could be the start of a very troubling trend. They can run the ball, but we can't. And then on defense, seeing Tech stone us on three separate possessions from within the five yard line, makes this the type of game that they might steal.

Four Fingers Held Up
Game has moved fast.
I think Paul Johnson has his qb. It's a real series, now. They're playing hard.
Georgia has the ball at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Let's score a td, Dawgs.

Jarvis Sanks is Smiling
They deserve that one.
Reminds me of the Tony Taylor (?) snatch and score. Think we had one like that a couple of years ago, too. Didn't we? Who was our linebacker that ripped the ball out as Tech was about to score? That play changed the game around.
Maybe Tech will feel so down, they'll fold the tents. Our defense better get bowed up.

I Take That Back!
Touchdown! Damian Swann runs it back 97 yards. Previous play is under review.
Touchdown! Woo-Hoo!

Looks Bad, Folks
They took the ball first in the second half and drove it down our throats. Ball is at our two-yard line. We can't stop the run.
Quadfecta?
Ughh!
1. Yesterday afternoon, Mizzou beats Arkansas, keeping Georgia from winning the SEC East and ending all hope of UGA advancing to the first NCAA football playoffs.
2. UGA loses last night in basketball to Minnesota, a game that on paper we probably should have taken. Mark Fox and the hounds are playing .500 basketball yet again.
3. Now, two UGA lost fumbles at the goal line. Tech has their option game going, converting two fourth down plays and moving the ball 80 yards. They even scoring on a fade route. Tied at half.
4. Losing to Tech at home would be unthinkable, especially during a season that they won their division and we didn't.
What's that, a "quadfecta?" Is that even a word? Hard to describe how bad that would be.
I think Georgia still wins by 14, but they're scaring me. We'd better play hard during the second half. Four sports reversals in one weekend is too much to bear.

Hats Off to Auburn
They did what we could not do. Took it to Alabama and beat'em.
We came close. They finished the drill.
Hoping that Missouri beats Texas A*M. Much rather have Missouri represent the East than South Carolina. While I'm in prediction mode, I think Texas A*M beats Missouri. Hoping I am wrong again.
I tell you, Nick Marshall is going to be a tough guy to deal with. He's got serious wheels and a powerful arm.
Maybe Hutson Mason can use today's game as a springboard and give us a championship next year. Still football to play this season, but if Mason can get the job done, our defense will have a year to grow, we get several skill guys back, our backfield will be loaded, and it could be our year.

Great, Great Win for The Dawgs
I gave up. Shouldn't have.
Maybe I should stick to basketball.
Great win for Mark Richt!
How about Grantham's D? Did they step up or what? Incredible. 20 to nothing and they held those guys to 7 more points in regulation.
Wow! Great job by all the Dawgs. Congrats to all! Go Dawgs. Tech, losers again! 12 out of 13!

Yawn. Dawgs Beat Tech.
Hardly worth a post. Just doesn't do much for me. Hard to get fired up about the game. Of course, I definitely don't want to lose to them. It's just sort of anti-climatic when we win.
Their coach is definitely not happy. Scowling on the sidelines. Mark Richt, class all the way, gracious in victory.
I will say this, however. If Georgia Tech ever gets a really good running back like the guy that used to play for Georgia Southern (Peterson?) and a dual threat quarterback, then look out. They don't need Tim Tebow or Cam Newton. Just someone big enough to take a hit and talented enough to throw reasonably accurate passes.
Then I'll get worried. As for now, I'll just enjoy Georgia's victory until this time next year.

Miami Beats Tech
As I said, one of the keys to defending the option is recognizing that the snap count will always occur when the pitch man is either right behind the quarterback or just a couple steps away. If your defensive linemen know when the ball will be snapped, they can get upfield, prevent Tech's offensive linemen from diving at their knees, and keep Nesbitt from reaching the corner.
Miami had an advantage because Dwyer was hurt. But the principles remain the same. Force Nesbitt to throw the ball. On occasion, he will connect on a a big play, but he's not accurate enough to do it consistently.
Miami wins.

Tech wins
I thought Tech would have a greater margin of victory, but they got the job done and won the game.
I'm no Tech fan. I rooted for Clemson the whole way. As I said, however, the option is a tricky offense. If you're not accustomed to defensing it, the cut blocks at the line of scrimmage are just effective enough to give the dive-back room to operate, and the crack-back blocks on the outside give the pitch-man access to the corner.
Clemson made some incredible adjustments as the game wore on, for the most part shutting down Tech's option in the second half. The defensive stands gave the offense a spark and after trailing 24 to zip, Clemson came storming back to take the lead, 27 to 24.
Georgia should carefully watch the tape of this game. The key to stopping Tech is to make them a passing team. And the way to make them a passing team is to attack the offense. Don't wait to have to react to where the football is. Take away the quarterback keeper by hitting him every time.
If they run the pitch man behind the quarterback, you can almost time the snap count for exactly the point at which the pitch man crosses the quarterback's back. I'd blitz a linebacker from the side to which Roddy Jones is running.
Clemson did it. Got to Nesbitt. Made him throw the football, and he was very inaccurate. Was 1 for 10 at one point. He did, however, make a key throw on Tech's last drive, which led to the Tech victory. I must say that Clemson lost the momentum after it was penalized for a questionable holding call, which negated a long-gainer.
The question for me, after having watched Clemson, Georgia Tech, and a little of Miami and FSU, is when will Georgia show an offensive spark? These other teams seem to have more creativity in blocking schemes and play-calling.

Richt and Johnson Ready to Practice
It's hot out there, but Coach Mark Richt is ready to start practice. And with an opener at Oklahoma State, his guys better match his intensity. Oklahoma State could blow the Dawgs out. Don't think it will happen, but that game is a tough one to have as the first of the season.
Coach Johnson over at Tech is chomping at the bit, too. Should be interesting to see what Tech does. I remember Georgia Southern running well against UGA a few years ago, and I thought then that if Paul Johnson ever got real D-1 talent, he would have a lot of success. I expect Tech to win the ACC this year.
