Saturday's win was HUGE for Dawgs

Georgia is now 1-1 after the Dogs beat SC 41-37 Saturday night in Sanford Stadium. How big was the win? HUGE. Not going 0-2, HUGE. Gives us confidence going in to the Arkansas game, HUGE. Deangelo Tyson swatting down the PAT, HUGE. Rennie Curran knocking the last pass of the game down, HUGE. Boykin with a 100 yard kick return and a very athletic pick, HUGE. The game was riddled with HUGE plays but aside from that we also saw a completely different Georgia team than the week before...

*Joe Cox played much better
*The offensive line played great against a tough fat SC defensive line
*Samuel ran with authority, he looked great to me
*AJ Green played excellent again
*Branden Smith can absolutely fly - when he came across the line and the seam was closing quick the kid simply down shifted and smoked the SC defense!

What I didn't like? Bobo's play calling again...
Not using Samuel like I thought he should especially at times when Samuel would get in to a groove. I have reviewed the game a few times and I believe Marlon Brown was in the game for 2 snaps and Wooten was only in the game for 1. I still don't understand that, I wish Bobo or CMR would clear the air with why these guys aren't getting snaps? Logan Gray took one snap and attempted one punt return, that's it. Orson Charles makes plays, two great catches on Saturday but Bobo still isn't using him very much...I can't explain why?
Willie Martinez played a very soft defense. We let them throw the ball underneath all game and we left the middle of the field wide open all game long. In a way I can say he called the game ok. He changed the strategy in the red zone and the Georgia defense looked great.
The scheme was partly because Nick Williams LB and Dewberry LB missed the game with hammy issues. Rod Battle DE is out for the season with a torn ACL (We get Justin Houston DE back this weekend).


It wasn't exactly pretty but it was not lacking excitement! Georgia comes out with a win, more confidence and we shat on Spurrier...that's all I asked for!
But in truth it was a great night between the hedges and the Dogs are better prepared for the Hogs.
