View Full Version : Who'll Win: Georgia at South Carolina?

Out of the games involving SEC teams this week, I see two hard-to-pick games: UGA/SC and Ole Miss/Missouri.
Who do you think will win the Georgia at South Carolina game?
This is not a "Who do you want to win?" question, but a "Who do you think will win?" question.

My earlier prediction (http://www.sectalk.com/boards/showpost.php?p=142390&postcount=25)
UGA 28 SC 17
I'd say that UGA scores 3 on the ground, 1 by Joe T. through the air.
SC will score by way of Boyd TD catch, a rushing TD, and a field goal.
I figured I'd stick my neck out on this one and break it down score by score. Try it! It's fun. :wacko:
UGA's defense will keep a fiesty, and fired up SC team at bay.

I've got to go with South Carolina. I believe Spurrier will have the Offense ready to play when Georgia comes to town. The defense will be strong enough to rattle the QB and give SC a 21-17 win!

As sad as I am to say it..... I just don't think we're ready to unseat the Dawgs yet. :shrug:
Based on what I saw out of offensive line agains the Bullpups of MSU, I'm afraid that Jawja's D-line is going to eat us up. :eating:
I think the bottom line for us Cocks, is that until we build a first class line...on both sides of the ball, we're not ready for Atlanta. Based on the recruiting class the SOS went after, I'm confident that he believes that too...and with a couple more classes like that under our belt, we'll be rolling through Atlanta like Sherman :flame: But until then, we're still scrapping to win against the upper echelon....which includes UGA.
Without a doubt, this game has turned into a slugfest, with us performing ABOVE our abilities each year. But I'm looking forward to the time we can beat GA by simply playing TO OUR ABILITIES, NOT BEYOND THEM.
I think it'll be another good one, but just don't see us coming out on top. Hope I'm wrong...I'll gladly take a black-eye for missing this one. :blackeye:
GO COCKS!

I had to pick SC. The reasoning being I never pick against my team but truly I don't know.

i think South Carolina wins 21-20. i think Spurrier will use more screen plays and if the Oline plays like it did against MSU we will see more of Newton at QB. more play action, rolling the pocket left and right to find time for Newton to get the ball to Rice and Mckinley.
UGA all the way, until the Gamecocks show me that we can pass for over 300 and score some points or rush for over 160. Sorry, 248 yards (MSU game) and 23 ppg (last year's average) do not win SEC championships....

SC 19: 1 TD for defense either off a pick or a recovered fumble in the red zone. Succop gets 4 FG's.
GA 17: 2 TD's off picks, 1 FG.
It'll be light showers early then clearing, 68 degrees, 37% humidity, there will be 84,394 fans. 8 fender benders in the parking lot. 83,119 will have on a buzz that'll get worse when it's over. 3 arrests (hopefully not from either team). 13,208 co-eds will say yes or mumble yes at the appropriate time...oh yeah...and the winning lottery numbers for that night will be 2, 4, 14, 35, 39, with PB # 32.

The USC offense will come around, the defense will hold em at bay long enough, and it will be the loudest crowd ever at WB. Carolina wins a close one. Those who have given up on Spurrier and this team after one week, root for somebody else. J/K :thumbs:

I really hope you're right about the crowd noise GT. The UF game last year was EASILY the loudest game I've ever been to at WB....if we can keep that type of atmosphere going we can make WB an intimidating place to play.

Dawgs by 6-10 points. I dont see a highscoring and flashy game. Just a typical SEC game dominated by defense. I think it will be close until the last couple of possessions and add a garbage TD in the closing minutes to put the game on ice.
Of course, I could be wrong and it could be an incredible display of offense, but I just dont think it is very likely with unproven QB's on both teams and O-Lines that leave plenty to be desired on both sides.

I think Spurrier and South Carolina is going to look alot better this week than they did against MSU. O-line is going to be better, and Mitchel won't get injured.
MSU is alot better than Western Kentucky.
Georgia 10
South Carolina 13

I went with the numbers on this one. I think USC is perfectly capable of winning this one, but after the weak offensive performance against Mississippi State I have to say I'm leaning towards Georgia. Before that game I would have picked South Carolina in an upset. The good thing for yall is that the offense played poorly and Sidney Rice didn't get involved. If he had gotten involved more and the offense still played poorly then yall should be worried. But I think the solution to yalls problem is pretty simple. Give #4 the ball. GTech did it with Calvin Johnson in the first half. They stopped in the second half and look how many points they put up. Exactly. Go, Sidney, Go.

Got to go with the cocks, simple reasoning the cocks will score more points. T3's first road conference start he's gonna be a little spooked. Carolina's offense will score points, those of u judging the cocks offense by the state game need to understand that defense is always ready to play before the offense, playing on the road in conference against a tough front 7 to begin your season is not the way to get your offense pumping. Georgia will find that out on Saturday. Barring turnover's and special teams blunders cocks win handily. Spurrier has been licking his chops ever since almost beating them last year at the dogs house with a team he knew nothing about.

USC 24
UGA 17
A lot is being said about about our inability to score points and move the ball. I have faith that things will be fixed this week. No one knows what kind of team either team is right now. South Carolina played an excellent defense on the road in its first game, won by a 15 point shutout, and is catching nothing but hate for it. On the other hand, how can you judge how good an offense is when their only opponent to date is Western Kentucky?
A lot of questions are about to be answered. I hope they are favorable for my boys in garnet and black. Gosh, I hope our line shows up. If so, then this game is going to be as tough as any USC-UGA game I can remember.

I think the Gamecocks will win it. I think Spurrier still has some tricks up his sleeves. He just has this look about him during the interviews.

09-06-2006, 08:51 AM
I think our offense will bounce back, Spurrier finds a way to get the
ball to Sydney. Also Joe T will be flustered by the waves of noise from
the crowd and the defense in his face, can't win the pressure-packed
road game.
Winning a conference game was better for us than Georgia's win was
for them from a confidence stand-point.

I didn't say they wouldn't get hit but I think they were only sacked once in our opener.

Was the MSU D-line that good or was your O-Line just getting beat?

Mitchell WILL feel the heat from Moses and Johnson all night long...I can guarantee that.

As an outsider to this little spat, I'll throw in my $0.02. I believe it was a little of both. I believe MSU has a pretty good defense, but our O-Line needs to perform quite a bit better in the UGA game if we are to compete, and hopefully (at least from my perspective), pull out a win. As far as sacks, our QBs were sacked 4 times I believe.

Besides...I've been following Carolina football probably longer than you have been alive (I think I just told on myself :unsure: ). We have a LONG, LONG history of mediocre football with even more mediocre lineman. When we win the big games, it's typically because we are playing beyond ourselves. I think the day is coming when we won't have to play beyond ourselves....just play to our actual ability and we'll win all these games. The day is close....but I don't think we're there yet.

Trust me, he is ready. He is mature beyond his years...I've followed him all during the offseason and he is ready. He reads plays as good as David Greene read them, and he has the strongest arm I've ever seen out of a UGA QB. The kids realease is just so quick.

He may have the tools, training, and talent to be ready, but I seriously doubt he will perform as well on his first SEC Road game with 85k+ drunk, screaming fans. Honestly, he's got a shot to be better than Shockley, Greene, and Carter when he completely develops, but as for right now, Joe T. is your best bet for the road, because he has at least experienced a big road game... of course, he hasn't started or played in one either...

Nahh, Stafford may see the field, and he is ready. He'll be a nightmare to opposing teams in the future.
Anyway, back to the question at hand.
UGA's D line will be to much for SC. I don't remember his name, but SC's sophomore left tackle got murdered by MSU's DE. Quentin Moses will absolutely destroy this guy. Double team Q you say? Good, open up the middle for Weston and Owens to wreak havoc and to make matters worse, Charles Johnson is the other bookend waiting on you. Plus add in the option of blitzes (which we won't do) and it's gonna be ugly for SC.
UGA won't blitz because of Spurrier's small ball techniques. Screens and slant passes will be the theme of the day for SC. UGA will just keep what they can in front of them and we'll play it that way. Sooo, SC may move the ball a little in the 1st half, but 2nd half adjustments will be the end of that gameplan.
As for the offense, typical UGA offense. Run, Run, Run, open up pass.
So, as for my prediction..... I wouldn't be surprised to see UGA down at the half or even barely ahead. But in the end, UGA will wear down SC and win by 10.

It was both. MSU's line is very good, and our line did not play well at all. I'm hoping for the same thing to happen to UGA's line in their first road test of the year.
Keep in mind that your first opponent was against a 6-5 D-1AA team. It's really useless to compare stats until after Saturday night. Neither one of us knows what kind of teams we have right now. I think if WKU can find a way to score before halftime, then you can expect Spurrier to find a way to score.
We're going to blitz all night. That translates into a shutout versus teams like MSU. Against teams like UGA, that translates into big plays for the defense and for the offense. We'll blitz and sack whatever pawn UGA is fielding at the time, and then we'll blitz and get bit for a big gain for leaving parts of the field empty. I'm expecting it to be a back and forth game.

Joe T. Started and played in the Florida game last year in Jacksonville...Granted, it wasn't a real "road" game, it was still a pressure situation. Stafford can handle it. He is going to be one of those special QB's that come along every 10 years or so...

JT finished with a 40% completion percentage against a POS WKU team. :ohmy:

Like you said, that technically wasn't a "real" road game, and the majority of the crowd won't be divided between who to root for. It's going to be 85k vs. Joe T this Saturday... not the Florida Gator's section of people and such. This is just a totally different experience than the Cocktail Party in terms of how loud it's going to get for him. As for Stafford, yes, I agree with you he definately has a shot at being a special QB, but it doesn't matter how good you are coming out of high school... you're going to be shaken going against a very, very large crowd unlike anything you have ever played against.
And also, if you do want to use the Florida/Georgia game as an indication of how Terenshinski performs under pressure situations, then by all means do. Other than that nice trick play, he was pretty awful in that game... not to mention I believe ya'll would have won if Shockley had started.

JT finished with a 40% completion percentage against a POS WKU team. :ohmy:
Stafford threw a worthless TD against the same POS WKU team.
I'm sorry, I just wasn't that impressed with either of the QB's that played in that game.
Just being honest.
Neo...I dont think I have ever heard you say you were ever impressed by a Georgia team. Since I have been a member they have always been "overrated", underachievers, lucky, or any other negative term you want to throw at us.
Now I am not declaring UGA the team to beat in the SEC by any means, but it seems to be the same story with a lot of the gamecocks on here, no respect for UGA, every time we have beaten USC, we have been lucky, got lucky calls, you played bad...and on and on and on.

In response to the USC/UGA games, they are "Overrated" or "Underachievers". Your heralded David Green threw 3 INTS in that game. Shockley followed suit with 2 INTS. Hell, Quincy Carter threw 5 INTS. That's not negativity, those are facts. The fact of the matter is, we (USC make UGA Qb's look like sh&*!!!!

We have beaten you 4 out of the last 5 years...how can you say that it was luck that we won 4 and you lost 1? Now I am not saying that luck did not factor in at all...but the bottom line is that good teams make good things happen. If the record were 50/50 in wins for both teams, then you could claim that we were lucky. But we have won 80% of the time the last 5 years...that is not pure luck...its called being a better a team that made good things happen.

Every single year, we listen to the Dawgs predicting 20-30 and sometimes 40 point victories. What happens? They're lucky to squeak out a victory. It's about time the DAWGS got a realty check since apparently, they're still predicting blowouts.

As an outsider, we don't play either South Carolina or Georgia this year, so I am going on what I saw of each team in their opener. I like Spurrier, but he had a "no show" offense against a pretty pathetic Croom-coached Mississippi State. It was hard to tell whether the offenses were terrible on both teams are whether the defenses on both teams were good. I think some of both; both South Carolina and Mississippi State stunk it up on offense, so both of their defenses looked better than the are.
UGA appeared very solid, especially on defense, in their win, albeit against an inferior foe. They looked pretty balanced with fair running and passing, good O line blocking and QB protection, and a pretty good defensive secondary. Their linebackers looked good.
So, from seeing those two opening games, I am inclined to say that UGA is going to win the contest. South Carolina will find it very difficult to score on the UGA defense and UGA will find it a little less difficult to score on the South Carolina defense. UGA wins.

rabies isn't as scary as it once was. we'll just assume that all the bulldogs are diseased and vaccinate the gamecocks early in the game. might look shakey in the 1st half before the drugs kick in, but the 2nd half should be in our favor, especially if we give the bulldogs some sedatives while we're at it.

I was listening to the southeastern drive yesterday on my way home and it was some interview with a guy that covers Georgia, he said that the game could go either way because of the nature of it. He was just talking about how USC could be a crappy team one year and they still would not look past em'. Then another guy said Georiga would come out on top but would have to earn it.

Most have the right idea about this one, it will be closely contested and thus another down to the nitty gritty sorta thing. Can't take first games as very representative of potential, so a few of the more lopsided guestimates appear homeristically based.
Richt & SOS will play chess and whichever one of them can will his charges to execute THE play when its there should win it as there will not be many opportunities. Annual opponents tend to have their foes so well scouted that only extraordinary things tilt the contests away from appearing like loggerheads trying to shove each other outta the way.
Should be exciting and well worth all of our anticipation.

The closeness of the games recently and the uncertainty about both heading into it seemed to lend itself to such a thought, which I heard or read some years ago somewhere.
These two HC's are so well acquainted and trickeration aside, both know that limiting mistakes will be the key. The O/U is 39 and I'd be betting the under if betting, the line is currently UGA -3.5, which I don't find tempting enough as there are other games holding more promise of profit. :D

I know I'm an outsider on this one, but why are people busting balls because USC fans are picking their own team? Call them homers or whatever, but this game is usually so close; picking either team is founded. USC pitched a shutout when people questioned their D and scored 15 points on a top 30 D in 2005 that didn't lose any significant players. I honestly think UGA has too much talent and depth for USC to come out on top, but I don't blame anyone for picking their own team when it's close.

09-07-2006, 07:42 PM
well, I'm just a idiot....I meant to pick SC, but hit GA on the poll.....but I'm on record, now.
and I really don't have a clue....I think GA's OL is more prepared than SC's OL, and GA's defense looks to be more experienced than SC's. Our defense played lights-out last week, and I'd love it if they can play like that every week, but right now they're still young, and unproven, IMO. Anyone can have one great game, just as anyone can have one crappy game, so there's still too many ??'s right now. Of course, if SC's D plays lights-out again Sat., then I'm on that boat for good!
GA is the defending SEC champs, but they always have tough tussles with SC, as everybody knows, and the game is in W-B, with that great SC atmosphere, so there will be many home-field rep points for SC in that regard, that might help offset the disadvantage SC will have with it's thin OL and young D....
IMO, Boyd will need another strong running game, and Succop will need to step up again, if by nothing else, then by keeping SC with good field positioning all night. The OL will have to come of age fast on Saturday night, and hopefully Raysor will help anchor them a bit.
Mitchell will need to be a leader big time in this game, or I don't think SC can pull it through. He has to start off strong this game...certainly stronger than last week. And no forcing passes off his heels into heavy coverages, this time. We can't endure another INT to start off this game......if anything, maybe run a couple rushing plays with Boyd to start off the game, or some quick outs......
Since I can't get a good gauge one way or another to make a clear choice, then it's down to home field advantage, and I pick the Gamecocks! Please disregard my poll vote.......

as long as spurrier is here ...every year is the year for south carolina to beat georgia...
These players are reaching new heights — or new depths
September 7, 2006
Here are five players or teams on the rise -- and five more on the decline.
Rising
1. RB Darius Walker, Notre Dame: Continues to prove he can handle a heavy workload. Coach Charlie Weis says he wants to get Walker 25 touches a game. I'd give him more.
2. RB Yvenson Bernard, Oregon State: Remember Ken Simonton? Similar player, similar results.
3. QB Erik Ainge, Tennessee: He looked fantastic against Cal, but I still want to see how he reacts to SEC teams who know Tennessee's personnel, who know Tennessee's schemes -- and who will actually pull a freshman cornerback after he bites once on a hitch and go.
4. QB Anthony Morelli, Penn State: He looked sharp in poor conditions against a good MAC team. More impressive: he's in great physical shape. Considering the Lions' shaky pass protection, he's going to absorb plenty of hits.
5. Rutgers: A nice road win (at North Carolina) to add more credence to the administration's decision to ride out coach Greg Schiano's rough spots the first few years in Piscataway. If Rutgers can get one more tough road win (at Navy, Oct. 14), the Big East could have a fun game on Oct. 21 with unbeaten Pitt vs. unbeaten Rutgers.
Falling
1. QB Jordan Palmer, UTEP: He still makes poor decisions after nearly three years as a starter. He has thrown 11 interceptions in his last four games dating to last season, including three in last week's win over San Diego State.
2. The state of New Mexico football: The Lobos lost to I-AA Portland State, and the Aggies may as well have lost to I-AA Southeastern Louisiana (coach Hal Mumme's former team; a team that should be playing in Division II or III). The best part: these teams play each other this week. Oh, joy!
3. QB Joe Tereshinski, Georgia: I realize he played little against Western Kentucky, and that the real test is this week against South Carolina. But 7-of-17 against Western Anyone just flat out isn't cutting it. I can guarantee this: 7-of-17 against the Gamecocks will mean two things: A Georgia loss and a starting job for freshman Matt Stafford.
4. CB Syd'Quan Thompson, California: As ugly as it was for Thompson against Tennessee, think what it will be like in the pass-happy Pac-10. Who here still thinks the loss of CB Tim Mixon won't hurt the Bears?
5. Oklahoma offense: Clearly there has to be a better way to help QB Paul Thompson become more successful in the offense. If that means more max protection packages to give him more confidence, then shift away from the spread principles and do it. The Sooners must have some semblance of success in the passing game or it will only get harder for TB Adrian Peterson to run against eight-man fronts.

South Carolina has some of the best individual talent in the conference with players like Rice and Bennett....and Mitchell is decent QB at times. The Gamecocks defensive has SEC talent across the board(they're just yound and inexperienced).....Georgia on the other hand is a program oozing with speed at every position on the field.....their back field has more talent than anybody and their defense especially the front seven is once again scary...
Coach Spurrier is truly a genius but Mark Richt is in a position to just push the right buttons(averaging 11 wins per season last 3 years).....28-17 Dawgs

There really isn't a QB situation at UGA. CMR will not hesitate this week to throw Stafford in early if JT3 struggles. I think JT3 will be fine but he does struggle for say a quarter and a half, the future will be in the game. I know, I know, Stafford doesn't have the experience in a hostile environment....But he is ready guys. He isn't your typical freshman...If you watched the game on TV, he has a nice vibe about him that reminds me of David Greene and has an arm that reminds me of Peyton Manning. His release, according to scouts, is the quickest since John Elway. I may be proven wrong but I have enough confidence that the kid is ready and that JT3 will be fine.
I know, I know, Stafford doesn't have the experience in a hostile environment....But he is ready guys. He isn't your typical freshman.
He's still a freshman. I actually hope he gets put in. The USC crowd is going to eat him alive. :laugh:
He may not be your typical freshman and we hear that all the time from everybody with a freshman QB. The fact is, he's a freshman and USC's crowd is a lot different from a HS crowd. :mellow: You know as well as I do, that the USC/UGA is going to be a big game and the USC fans will be jacked up so high it won't even be funny.

Yea...I know the noise will be something he has never experienced if he gets in the game. The pressure of being the #1 QB prospect in the land may help him out. CMR is always discussing with his QB's about defining moments in their careers. David Greene was a freshman win he drove down the field in Knoxville with the "hobnail boot" to beat Tenn. CMR said in the post game of last weeks game if he thought the noise and crowd would get to Stafford if he were to get in the game and Richt said something along these lines:
"Staff is one of the most poised freshman I have ever seen. He's polished and was well coached in high school. I have no doubt he can handle the noise."
I too hope he gets in the game...there hasn't been this much excitement about a freshman QB in at UGA since Eric Zeier.

Gonna be a good one. I am thinking close like the USC-MSU game. However, we have enough offense to put some points up unlike MSU. If it gets into the 20's I would be shocked.
Those ESPN guys are all idiots. They only truly follow four teams; Ohio State, Southern Cal, Texas, and Oklahoma. Mark May hates the SEC, Herbie is an OSU grad, and Corso is an idiot (picking Cal as your NAtional Champ proves that).
I think the Cocks can beat us if we come in flat like 2004, but I'm hoping the Dawgs come in fired up and score some early to take the crowd out of it some. I'm just glad I don't have to work at the game this year.
Losing Henderson ig going to hurt and I wan't impressed with JT3 or the O-line last week. Hopefully, they can turn it on this week.

There really isn't a QB situation at UGA
Really? You've got a SR with 2 career starts and a FR with NO career starts...the fans want the FR to play, but the SR will get a shot...if that's not a "QB situation" I've never seen one. I'm not flaming UGA...I think T3 could be a very good QB with experience and from what I've heard, Stafford's future is bright...but his is a FR playing in the SEC.
After watching USCE at MSU, I just don't think the Cocks are good enough on offense to beat UGA...however, I'm very cautious with that statement. I think Spurs might have been a little "vanilla" vs MSU...who knows. But as of now, I see UGA winning a close game with neither offense rollin' up a lot of yards and both defenses playing hard.

And GN, there has been whispers that SC was running a very vanilla offense that night to throw people off. Hence the reason we ran about 4 different plays (run up the middle, run off the tackles, screen, and deep bomb), exempting the trick play.

That's all you can do is imagine it, for an unfortunate tragedy has struck the DawgNation this morning which will no doubt add some extra incentive for the Dawgs tomorrow night.
Legendary Dawg DC and founder of the highly successful program at Georgia Southern, Erk Russell, he of the bloodied forehead before games, died from injuries suffered in an auto accident this morning near Statesboro, Georgia, his adopted hometown. So recent is this info that there aren't any news stories out other than its mention, so details aren't available.
Not that incentive is needed, but the mood of the team and its fans will be different tomorrow as this news becomes widely known. Erk was as loved as any figure in the State and from the early board responses, many are joining me in sorrow over his passing.

This is coming from someone that every year, predicts blowouts against USC and thinks his DAWGS are going to win the MNC. Our chances to go 4-0 into the Auburn game are a lot better than yours. :laugh:
After UGA, we have Wofford and then Florida Atlantic. Let's look at some of your famous predictions:
USC vs. UGA in 2005
UGA 48
USC 3
The Dawg Pass D will victimize him just as it did the Zman the week prior. SC manages some garbage time points, if at all.
9/11 takes on a new meaning for chikin fans this Fall, for after an absolute and total annihilation at the hands of the Dawgs, the stark realization of the job SOS has before him will be crystal clear.
Forget last year, it's in the past! The losses of key players who contibuted greatly to that effort are now gone. Expecting so many newbies to attain that level of proficiency after but one Fall practice session and one game vs. a pitiful opponent is so far detached from reality as to be pitiable.
South Cacklelacky ain't and never has been an Elite and won't magically become one this Fall. FACT! And it won't in '06 either, for it takes a 'shirt year and the practice & conditioning to properly prepare recruits to be the best they can be, not to forget the teaching.
South Carolina will be fortunate to win 5 games this Fall and one of them will not be in Athens, not Greece, but Georgia! Dawgs will hang 30+ and SC will be lucky to score at all.
Dawgs by 21+ and a great silence settles over SC....
Won't be me 'feeling' it and the auc is the tekkiemite's rag btw. As much as you cackalakians are running your pieholes, I wonder if the State will be able to figure out a way to spin what happens to SC on 9/10 and beyond. Starting out with a win over the creampuff and then two devestating beatdowns won't play well even with the homers at that rag.
You are in no position to make predictions when calling out scores like this. :whistle:

i think SC has a good chance to win this one, but they have to play better than they did against MSU. they have to get the ball to Rice and Boyd cause those are the playmakers. if they can do that and put up some points, i think that the young but solid-looking defense can hold what looks to be an awful Georgia running game and Tereshizinski to few enough points to get a W.

09-08-2006, 01:27 PM
These players are reaching new heights — or new depths
September 7, 2006
Here are five players or teams on the rise -- and five more on the decline.
Rising
1. RB Darius Walker, Notre Dame: Continues to prove he can handle a heavy workload. Coach Charlie Weis says he wants to get Walker 25 touches a game. I'd give him more.
2. RB Yvenson Bernard, Oregon State: Remember Ken Simonton? Similar player, similar results.
3. QB Erik Ainge, Tennessee: He looked fantastic against Cal, but I still want to see how he reacts to SEC teams who know Tennessee's personnel, who know Tennessee's schemes -- and who will actually pull a freshman cornerback after he bites once on a hitch and go.
4. QB Anthony Morelli, Penn State: He looked sharp in poor conditions against a good MAC team. More impressive: he's in great physical shape. Considering the Lions' shaky pass protection, he's going to absorb plenty of hits.
5. Rutgers: A nice road win (at North Carolina) to add more credence to the administration's decision to ride out coach Greg Schiano's rough spots the first few years in Piscataway. If Rutgers can get one more tough road win (at Navy, Oct. 14), the Big East could have a fun game on Oct. 21 with unbeaten Pitt vs. unbeaten Rutgers.
Falling
1. QB Jordan Palmer, UTEP: He still makes poor decisions after nearly three years as a starter. He has thrown 11 interceptions in his last four games dating to last season, including three in last week's win over San Diego State.
2. The state of New Mexico football: The Lobos lost to I-AA Portland State, and the Aggies may as well have lost to I-AA Southeastern Louisiana (coach Hal Mumme's former team; a team that should be playing in Division II or III). The best part: these teams play each other this week. Oh, joy!
3. QB Joe Tereshinski, Georgia: I realize he played little against Western Kentucky, and that the real test is this week against South Carolina. But 7-of-17 against Western Anyone just flat out isn't cutting it. I can guarantee this: 7-of-17 against the Gamecocks will mean two things: A Georgia loss and a starting job for freshman Matt Stafford.
4. CB Syd'Quan Thompson, California: As ugly as it was for Thompson against Tennessee, think what it will be like in the pass-happy Pac-10. Who here still thinks the loss of CB Tim Mixon won't hurt the Bears?
5. Oklahoma offense: Clearly there has to be a better way to help QB Paul Thompson become more successful in the offense. If that means more max protection packages to give him more confidence, then shift away from the spread principles and do it. The Sooners must have some semblance of success in the passing game or it will only get harder for TB Adrian Peterson to run against eight-man fronts.

if what came out against WKU was one of the best backfields in the nation, then i feel very good about LSU's chances to win a national title. granted, they may have had an "off" day against WKU, but it sure wasn't impressive.

They have proved it over the past two seasons. Danny Ware, Thomas Brown, and Kregg Lumpkin all average above 5 yds/carry. Its not uncommon for a good team to struggle against a weaker team. Its hard to play up to your potential when you are playing a much inferior team.

This is why:
The Georgia Bulldog
Posted by: Dawg151 on Fri Sep 8 2006 7:22:38 PM
I've been sitting behind my desk all day trying to figure out why I'm
so upset over the passing of a man I never met, Erk Russell. I never
met him. In fact, no one I know ever met the man. We never got to
have a chat with him face-to-face. We never got to hear him tell one
of his stories. We never got to sit around with him and smoke a
cigar. However, one thing that binds all of us is the fact that we
were very well aware of who Erk Russell was and what he did for a
living. It was the same way with so many other Georgia legends
throughout the years. I've never met Herschel Walker, but I certainly
know who he is and feel like I know him. I never met Vince Dooley,
but I certainly know who he is and feel like I know him. I've never
met Larry Munson, but I certainly know who he is and I fell like I
know him. Coach Erk Russell was one of those guys that was known by
people throughout the state and around the southeast, and despite the
fact that a relatively small number of people actually knew them
personally, they feel like family.
Out of all of those Bulldog legends, Erk was a guy we could all
connect with on a different level. He wasn't flashy. He was one of
us; a good 'ole boy from the south that loved football, lived his
life the best he could and carried himself at all times with dignity
and honor. How do I know he did all of this without ever having met
the man? Well, you could tell.
"If you don't have the best of everything, make the best of
everything you have." - Erk Russell
Whether it was through something he said to a reporter or from the
images of him head-butting his defensive players to the point of
having blood streaming down his bald head, you could tell he was
sincere and he was one of us. He cared just as much or even more than
we did. Further endearing him to all of us was the fact that he loved
us just as much as we loved him. He made no bones about that.
"The railroad track crowd. These are my people because they love
the Dawgs almost as much as I do...they choke me up!" - Erk Russell
Yeah, when you hear something like that, you know you're talking about
a man that doesn't bemoan the fact that the average fans are
passionate. You know you're talking about a man that considers
himself no better than any of us. You're talking about a man that
loved us and thought as much of us as we all thought about him. There
was nothing phony about Coach Erk Russell, and that fact and the way
he expressed it and made it a reality made all of us who had never met
him love him even more.
It went deeper than just a mutual love of the Georgia Bulldogs. Coach
Russell was a man that we admired for the way he led his life and
conducted himself. We could tell, without ever having met him, that
he cared about each of his players. It was more than football
succes...it was his desire to see these kids succeed and grow in their
lives. He took many of these kids he coached and taught them how to
be men of character. He gave them lessons not only in how to GATA,
but how to live. Coaches around the country have done that for a long
time and they continue to do that to this very day, but in Erk
Russell, we had a man that devoted himself to that and continued to do
it long after others would have moved on for fame or glory or personal
gain...or just because they were simply tired and exhausted. It was
part of who Erk Russell was. Despite having never met the man or
speaking a word to him, he made it abundantly clear, both here in
Athens and in Statesboro, that he had a vested interest in each and
every one of the kids he coached and he continued to do it long after
those kids grew into men and moved on with their lives.
It's very rare that a man can touch and influence so many people he
had never met, but Coach Russell was one of those men. He set an
example with the way he carried himself and that came across loud and
clear every time we saw him on the sidelines or read something that he
said.
"Fame wasn't important. I didn't even know it existed. I saw my
name in the paper and my picture in the paper a lot, but I felt like I
could overcome that." - Erk Russell
He set an example without even knowing he was doing it and he set that
example by doing everything he did with 100% effort, never failing to
give his all for his team and the team's fans. He was so sincere that
he even set an example for his rival coaches. Today, you'll find
quotes from a variety of people who coached against Erk and they'll
all describe him in the most glowing and affectionate terms possible.
So, why do I feel such a sense of loss over a man I never met and
never talked to?
It's because he was one of us and he was a man who possessed qualities
we should all strive for. He was an example. He was a Bulldog..the
very definition of a Bulldog; tough, loyal, tenacious, friendly and
fair. This is why we all loved him. This is why we all feel such a
sense of loss. Erk Russell was the very essence of the Georgia Bulldog.
Erk, there are many of us that never met you, but we know you can see
us from up there. We just want to you know that we cared about you
just as much as you cared about us.
"We lost a 3-year-old at one time, a child, and that is real pain.
But time, blessed time, is the greatest healer...it ain't gonna quit
hurting until enough time passes." - Erk Russell
Erk, we ain't gonna quit hurting until enough time passes."
I met the man when I was 14 at the 1971 Gator Bowl. He was all those things and possessed an ability to so endear himself honestly to you in such a rare way that I've only experienced it a couple of times since in my 50 years. We always miss the best folks and Coach Russell was one of 'em. I pray all will find such persons in their own lives.

Erk Russell died from injuries suffered in an auto accident this morning near Statesboro, Georgia
I am deeply disturbed to hear of this tragic loss of a great figure. I remember Erk Russell stomping around on the sidelines goading on his "junkyard dogs", under the legendary Vince Dooley. I admired his move to Stateboro and his building of Georgia Southern into a football powerhouse, with numerous national titles to his credit, many concurrent. His legacy remains, for GSU's gridiron success has been maintained to the present date.
His memory is assured in the annals of college football lore, forevermore.

Yall do have a great RB tandem but they really didnt look all that impressive against Western Kentucky. I'm sorry but the entire UGA offense didnt look good against a I-AA team. They will be better against USC most likely I'm not doubting that. Also I read that you guys are starting two receivers who have had 2 combined starts between them. One of them is a fifth year senior and the other is either a RS freshmen or sophomore I think, correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok, for all the lack of offense UGA had, UGA still scored 48 points..... and they did it in 53 plays. 53 plays !!!!! that's all it took to put up 48 points....they weren't all offensive points (I think 10 or 13 were SP points), but still 30+ points in 53 plays is pretty impressive ratio. And OF COURSE you all know WKU was so hard UGA had to really OPEN UP the playbook to beat them. Jeez, give me a break, the Cocks are gonna fall in this one hard.....

Hello everyone! New here - just found this site.
Here's MY prediction:
Dawgs down by a score of 14 to 6 with only two field goals by the middle of the third quarter. Joe T. has an ineffective day and gets pulled. Stafford comes in and leads the Dawgs to two touchdown drives - one in the late third quarter and one in the fourth and the Dawgs win a tough one 20-14 or 20-17. Matt becomes the starting quarterback after this game, replacing Joe T. I do believe though that this is probably SC's best chance to put in a win against Georgia as they will get in the next 3 or 4 years.

starts really doesnt matter...what matters is how the wrs timing is with the qb and how much they want the ball....rice played his first game ever in college against georgia and he did pretty good....i know our corners will have to play better then last week...our corners let the wrs get behind them...leaving them open for 3 big yardage plays....

Hello everyone! New here - just found this site.
Here's MY prediction:
Dawgs down by a score of 14 to 6 with only two field goals by the middle of the third quarter. Joe T. has an ineffective day and gets pulled. Stafford comes in and leads the Dawgs to two touchdown drives - one in the late third quarter and one in the fourth and the Dawgs win a tough one 20-14 or 20-17. Matt becomes the starting quarterback after this game, replacing Joe T. I do believe though that this is probably SC's best chance to put in a win against Georgia as they will get in the next 3 or 4 years.
As much as I am looking forward to tommorow I think we are gonna have some historic battles in the next 3 or 4 years. The closer we get the more "UGA wasn't that impressive" Kool-Aid I am drinking. Another reason I love the UGA game is because I work with fans of pretty much every different team in the SEC and ACC both. I have been hearing all week from everybody, "man I'll be hollering for you guys this week, this is the one game I hope ya'll win by 50." Even the Klempsun guys are Gamecock fans this week, it's great like the whole state is Garnet and Black.

Im a Bulldaog fan and i have all the respect in the world for the gamecocks they have a great rising star QB but i think this year it will be UGA 13 USC 10.
Welcome to SECTalk!
Thank you for your service to our country. :thumpsup:

... Anyway, I still stand by my prediction of a GA 40-13 win over the 'Cocks from an outsiders view.
There's absolutely no way GA is gonna' crush USC. The game will definitely be close, although GA could win by up to two touchdowns max. However, I predict it will be its usual closely contested battle.
I think USC can spring the upset if we play well. In this annual battle of close games, its our turn to win. After all, you can't win them all. Sooner or later and occasionally, you have to lose one of those close games. Just ask TN (last season), as our games with them have been close the last few years.

My prediction, so I can go on record: UGA 27, USC 10. (No problems here if I have to eat crow..) I have a good feeling about this one. We will see!
Go Dawgs!!!!

I didn't see the game, but I heard UGA had a lot of trouble running the ball last week. What happened?
And if UGA's running game is legitimately in question--I can't believe it really is--then I can understand why cock fans are feeling optimistic. An inexperienced QB could prove problematic if the cocks can shut down the run.
USCE will have to play a perfect game on offense if they're going to beat a talented UGA defense, but I guess I'm picking UGA because (1) the running game should work, at least enough to be balanced on offense and (2) UGA's defensive speed will force USCE errors.
Should be a great game, though.

And thanks for your insightful series prediction of "it's just a matter of when we will beat you." Still haven't figured out punctuation yet?

I would get mad at the madness of this post but then I saw who it was posting.............shankastank, first off this isnt even your business so its apparent you look for my posts, second of all we won both of our first games so there thats just your goofy old self that im sure your friends and family have come to love.
we have had a couple of tough games, Tennessee is evidence that when you play an offense that is radical, comparitively, it can throw your game off and Vandy showed what can happen when you fumble twice going into the end zone can do to your score
what time is it shankastank................time to go take your blue pill

Haha touche! That was probably an unneccesary post on my part. Good luck to you guys this year! I can't wait till we play you guys. We have a bad taste in our mouths from last year courtesy of the TIDE.
