Just as I expected last week the UGA offense looked fine tuned as A.Murray had all skill players to work with. And as I stated last week A.Murray is a stud, in my humble opinion he is the best freshman QB in the country.
All the good news from Athens was short lived as we found out Monday that Caleb King was arrested for not appearing in court to pay a speeding ticket, and there are other rumurs emerging but that is all we know for now. As it stands I don't see how King can play this weekend since Coach Richt stated that he a zero tolerance policy a couple of weeks ago. He said that he was done with all the BS!!!! (Stick to your guns Coach)
So once again we will be missing a few key skill players that could affect this game. Word is King and Thomas may be out at RB, thats your #1 and #3 on the depth chart. Ealey (#2 RB) may be a better runner but his pass blocking skills are terrible and Ealey can't seem to hold onto the ball inside the 10 yard-line. He has already lost 2 fumbles at the 1 yard line and his only carry against Tenn inside the 10 yard line he fumbled out of bounds. The coaching staff has no confidence in this kid inside the red-zone. Also, WR Kris Durham may be out due to a neck injury.
This week is very different than last week. All UGA was focused on was winning and now this week they are dealing with more off field issues and injuries.

OK guys its official. Caleb King Recieved a 2 game suspension. Good Job Coach. I really think he is trying to take this team back. I'm so glad CMR handled this early in the week. It sound like we will pulling the redshirt of a freshman RB Malcome for this game. I need to get some info on this guy. All I've heard is that he is big and fast.
This is a good thing in Athens. Taking control back. Also, last week former LB Boss Bailey absolutly ripped the players in a pre-game speech. Basically stating that these guys don't know what it means to be a UGA football players. Saying that this program is bigger than them. They say many many players took it to heart and showed last Saturday but that was last Saturday.

Although, I do argree that Caleb has never panned out to be the back that he was touted to be, he still was our number 1 back and he is a great pass blocker for A. Murray in which is VERY important since 90% of UGA pass plays are play action. Do you remember the sorry block that Ealey put on the Arkansas player at the end of the game that almost killed A. Murray. REMEMBER? Not to mention King has 44 carries for 244 yards 5.2 yards a carry. Not bad. Also I said that Ealey was a better runner but do you really want to give him the ball inside the 10 yard line right now?

I thought Richt had a "zero tolerance" policy now? Didn't he kick another guy off the team a couple weeks ago for some minor offense? I guess "zero tolerance" only applies if you're not getting a whole lot of playing time.

I'm kinda torn between kicking him of the team and the 2 game suspension. I guess it fits the crime or lack there of. It was a speeding ticket that he didn't pay. It wasn't a DUI or something of that nature. Also, you got to look at the player. Caleb is a Senior and has really never been in trouble. I think 2 games is probably good in this instance. I mean why kick the kid of the team for speeding. I don't know maybe he should but I think 2 games fits this type of violation.

Before we move on and cap this game I must take better look at the state of this program. My post last week into more detail on UGA schedule. I want to remind everyone I love UGA but I love my money more. I watch all UGA games twice and if you read my post last week that I started but couldn't finish I was exactly on point with this Offense.
1. How good is UGA? UGA lost to probably the best S.Carolina team they have ever put on the field along with Arkansas. After what USC did to Bama over the weekend a 17-6 loss in Columbia doesn't look that bad when you consider Ealey fumbled the ball at the 1 yard-line in the 4Q that would've tied the game. Miss St game was situational betting at its best. UGA was down just like Tenn heartbreaking loss to LSU. Before the Miss st game UGA fought its way back from being down 2 td's in the 4Q to tie Arkansas only to lose in the last 15 seconds on a blown coverage. Colorado was a terrible loss and I have no explanation to give.
2. UGA could easily be 5-1 or 6-0 this season. They have been in every game but have beat themselves with TO's and penalties. Like I said last week you are what you are.
3. UGA has a ton of talent and they are not a 2-4 team. They've had a incredibly bad start.
4. Has this team gotten away from Coach Richt? NO, off field issues are bad and it seems like they are happening alot lately but some of the best teams in the country have the same issues and they still WIN. The problem with this team started in the preseason when CMR decided to have no contact and no two a day practices until there first game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF? They have a new DC and are supposed to be a top team in the SEC they aren't hitting until there first game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were not ready for the season..............Quick name another team that did the same thing................Southern Cal............... and neither team has looked physical until UGA's game last week against Tenn. So what changed? Well, CMR admitted that his decision backfired on him and promised to field a more physical team and that started last Monday when UGA practiced in full pads and I quote CMR "That was one of the most physical practices we've had since I've been at UGA". UGA has never practice in full pads on a Monday. CMR is making the changes to turn this sinking ship around and the players are responding.

Atlanta Journal Constitution reported yest. King had been arrested previously in 07 also. See line down to 15 -15.5 few spots now. think they cover that ?

AJ Green is the X factor for UGA. When he is on the field it changes every from the Defense to coaching to the crowd. Check it out in 2 games he has 13 catches for 215 yds with 3 TD's and 1 rush for 40 yards. In games that he didn't play in UGA offense averaged 352 yards a game and the 2 games he has played in they average 405 yards a game.
A. Murray is so solid. Hitting 62% of is passes for 1366 yards with 10 TD's and 3 picks along with 45 rushes for 122 yards with 4 TD's but if you take away the 14 sacks his rushing numbers look like 31 rushes for 223 yard for 7 yds a carry. If you have not seen this kid play you probably need to sit down on Sat and watch him because he is only getting better.
I just don't see how Vandy can cover AJ Green hell who has. Go ahead and double him and that will leave Kris Durham open. I think UGA has turned the corner on offense and will score. There is to much speed and talent on this offense and the line coach has moved players around to get the right guys out there. And OC Mike Bozo is trying to keep is job so you are seeing more of the play book instead of RUN, RUN, PASS.
The only team that Vandy has faced that has the speed and talent UGA has is LSU and I want to point out that LSU racked up 392 yards on this defense in nashville at night. LSU offense has been terrible this year with JJ at QB and Ole miss put up 385 yards in a loss and UCONN put up 375. I see UGA being able to put up high 30's to low 40's on this defense.

Just as Kroch said Caleb is not that good. He is a good pass blocker.
And to be honest I don't really care if there was a loophole for CMR. I'm on here to try and win money not debate the punishment for this kid.
And yes I know he was arrested in 2007 for driving a SCOOTER on campus with a suspended liscence. In athens if you are caught driving anything on a suspended liscense you are arrested.
Again none of this sounds thugish just a plain dumbass but you can make the call. Don't really matter to me.

Nice loophole for Richt & Co. I wonder if King would have gotten a 2 game suspension had he been a scrub on the scout team?
It's GEORGIA. DO you know how strictly thet enforce the speed limit in that part of the country? Georgia and the Carolinas give out speeding tickets at 20 times the rate that Texas does. I got tickets (and warnings) all the time when I lived there. And the fines are probably way higher than they were when I was in Athens 20 years ago. I think a two-game suspension is really harsh considering what other kids do, like Delone Carter of Syracuse.

Just saying... Richt is being a hypocrite. He kicked some other no-name off the team a couple weeks ago, in order to demonstrate to the world his "zero tolerance policy." Now a more prominent player gets arrested(for failing to show up to court, NOT for the speeding ticket), and he gets a two game suspension. And lo and behold the two games are Vandy and Kentucky.

All year long UGA defense has been hurt by the big play (blown coverages) or the mobile QB. In every game it seems like UGA is putting there opponent in 3rd and long only to have the mobile QB bounce out of the pocket to pick up the 1st. Truth is from a yardage standpoint UGA ranks 28th in the country. Not bad considering they have a new DC and moved from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense. Also remember there was no hitting in preseason. UGA does not have the players to run a 3-4 yet but there has been improvement each week. CMR admitted that the D is letting to many teams pick up the 3rd down yardage. They realize what the mobile QB has done to them and stated they will have a game plan for Larry Smith. So I look for UGA to bring the safeties up and use a spy to counter Larry Smith's mobility. Vandy has no outside threats that can't be covered one on one. The key to this game with be 3rd down and just like Tenn last week Vandy ranks 117th 27% on third down conversions. (2 UGA wins TENN 116th and ULL 98th 34.9%) and (4 UGA loses S.Carolina 3rd 55.2%, Miss st 14th 50.6%, Colorado 22nd 48%, and Arkansas 80th 37.7).
I think UGA gets it done here fellas. There is to much talent on offense and the D should be able to stop Vandy on 3rd downs. Even though UGA has flopped this year they gained a tremendous amount of confidence last week. There will be a big crowd for Home Coming but most important they will introduce UGA VIII "Big Bad Bruce". Laugh all you want but this is a big deal to the UGA program and the Fans.
The line has dropped from 16.5 to 14.5. Why? Vandy always plays UGA tough but UGA never goes into this game with the same emotions as Vandy. (Except last year 3-3 UGA beat Vandy 34-10 in Nashville w/ Joe Coxucker at QB). UGA is 2-4 they will be focused and ready. Also, they are putting to much wieght on the Caleb King suspension. Its a "Here we go again" or "CMR has lost this team" scenario. He has not lost this team yet. The coaches, players, and the alumni don't want to see a TD/FG win. They want results.
UGA -14.5 Final Score UGA 38-10/41-14. I hope the line keeps moving down, atleast to 14.
UGA BIG!!!!!!!!!
Remember last week everyone was saying UGA shouldn't be DD favs to anyone!!!! Line also moved from 12.5 to 11 at GT.
