Georgia has nothing to lose

It's that time of year again, the Dawgs are headed down to Jacksonville for a very lopsided football game. The line in Vegas is a 17 point cake walk for the Gators.

Georgia needs to play this game with nothing to lose - the Dawgs really don't have anything to lose. Everyone and their momma thinks we are going to be blown out - let's hope that provides some EXTRA motivation!

The truth is that the Dawgs have a small chance for an upset. Our defense has not played well this year and the Gators could really abuse us. If Georgia does come out and play well on defense, our next HUGE hurdle is the offensive line. If the Dawgs can't run block and get a ground game going Joe Cox will be in for a loooong day.

I don't like Willie's bend but don't break defense but we damn sure shouldn't be playing that way come Saturday. The defense just needs to play as aggressive as possible. Willie needs to let them have that this week, do not hold it back, play tight coverage, blitz, take it all out of the bag. Let the players show what they can do, let them play aggressive, give them the opportunity to make plays. The react after the catch defense blows - give these guys a chance to be proactive and change the momentum!


I talked last week about Nickell Robey the recruit out of Frostproof high school. As expected CWM and CBM made the trip down on Friday and talked to Nickell. He claims he is 100%Georgia because CWM assured him that he was not leaving Georgia. For all of you CWM haters and fans looking for a new DC, that might be your first sign of coaching changes - there will not be one.

Since the Dawgs didn't play this weekend, CMR gave the players Saturday off. Most of the players went different directions - some went home, some stayed in Athens, a few went to the Alabama vs Tennessee game, etc.

What did the coaches do on their off day?
Mike Bobo was out recruiting a 2011 QB out of NC.
John Lilly was down in Florida checking on recruits.
Willie and McClendon were also in Florida.
Garner was all over the place meeting with 2011 DL prospects.
