yahtzee-
You concede far too easily. UF is a good team, but not better - just better coached. Here is this DAWG'S objective opinion why.
Why UGA didn't win-
1) Coach/offensive UNcoordinator took David Greene out after he led a 5-5 drive with a perfect audible for a TD and then put in Shockley. Stupid move. Greene was on fire and in control of the game. In a big game you ride the hot hand. QB dabbling may have worked for him with superior athletes at FSU vs. inferior ACC teams, but not in the SEC against anyone!
2) UGA did not mix up their run and pass to keep UF off their toes. They always have TWO weeks to prep for Georgia and they were well prepared. We needed to run more options out of a formation like UF did with their deep pass off their WR screen. This truly hurt when UGA got the ball on the 5 at the end of the first half. By the way - the tight end WAS set and the TD should have counted.
3) Rex Grossman played great DEFENSE. UF intercepted Shockley and ran it back for a TD. UGA intercepted, recovered a fumble, and both times Grossman made a TD saving tackle. As much as I don't like him, that was a HUGE difference in this game.
It was sad to see the DAWGS defense play incredible. Stopped Florida's run and their offense - they only allowed two offensive TDs. Too bad our offensive game plan was truly that.
Hope I am flying the line to Jax for the game next year!

Hey y'all,

I just caught onto the Jacksonville thread creep around here. Be glad you didn't have tickets. It was an absolute nightmare, at least the parts I can remember. I'm tired of people doggin' on TE though. We should have never been in that position to begin with. But the weekend was a great one, minus those 3.5 hours. I truly hate the state of Florida and everything about it now. They own us, but they still wear jean shorts.

Coincidentally, I went to the game with the true life son of "Dr. Bukk". You should see his teeth. They are straight as an arrow and pearly white.

In the words of a great American Lewis Grizzard -

Floridians were bermuda shorts, sandals, and dark socks - 'nuff said! (at least those are the old guys ) the young ones wear wife-beaters, jean shorts, and mullets!

Yeah Edwards dropped that pass, but should never have been that close that it would matter so definitely not all his fault. Head coach and offensive coordinator caused the loss after watching the defense play the best game I think they've ever played. If we win out and win in Atlanta SEC game and a BCS game, we'll all want to slap Richt around even more for tinkering with an experienced and proven QB opening his biggest game on a very hot streak! Gosh that was a stupid coaching move!

Oh well time to focus on the next bowl of DAWG FOOD!

Still hoping my wife (LSU) and I (UGA) can watch both teams in the game together in Hotlanta for the SEC championship!

Still swimming in the deep end of the SWA pool....
