*** Georgia at South Carolina: Poll & Game Thread

[Cockee Don]

Just one more thing, I would like to give a big thumbs up to the guys doing the player evaluations for South Carolina. They have assembled a very good team with players that "experts" didn't consider outstanding 5 star players. Their recruiting rankings have been pretty good, but they have brought in a lot of very good players that have far exceeded their ratings. Nice job guys!

Got to say...that was the worst performance I've seen from UGA
in a very long time, surely SCAR isn't that much better than UGA.

Sometimes everything that can go wrong does go wrong.

For what its worth, I thought on that punt return for a TD there was a obvious
block in the back.

Maybe you'll see in two weeks.

Hats off to Cockee Don for being the only one to pick USC by 10 or more.

What a perfect game.. just glad I was able to go.

I was not expecting that.

I thought this was interesting:

Saturday was a nightmare from the start for Murray, who was sacked just twice but terrorized countless other times. If only Murray knew that he contributed to his own demise. On Georgia’s first series, Jadeveon Clowney, one of the nation’s best defensive ends, noticed Murray was tapping center David Andrews’ hip when he wanted Andrews to snap the ball, because the crowd was deafening. Now, Clowney could get a jump on every play.

“I was kind of excited,” Clowney said. “I was like, ‘Well, I know when they’re going to hike the ball every time.’”

That's kind of the game in a nutshell. We played with emotion and smarts. Georgia didn't. The UGa defense jumping on the 4th and 2 deep on our end of the field was jaw dropping. That has to be frustrating for the Dawg faithful. One game isn't an entire season and we have a long way to go, but I don't know what to expect from Richt's team going forward. I'm just shocked.

UGA coaching staff just did not make any in-game adjustments, like either leaving a running back in for pass protection or making them chip Clowney on the way by. Simple things like this even a regular fan like me can see, but the coaches can't? Horrid coaching.

Why did Marshall even play after the first quarter? He was awful.

Congratulations to South Carolina on a totally dominant win.

I thought before the game that this was the best Carolina team evah and now I know it. With this head to head win in the tie breaker system...I can only see the Gators knocking them off the east throne...but I don't look to see this happen. There are still many doubters of the Cocks potential but I am not one of them...

Yep. Reminded of the UF and Alabama losses in recent years.

We suck.......BAD. I couldn't find tix. I wasn't going to pay more than $150 for a pair b/c I had a sneaking suspicion it might be not so pretty. Great win, Gamecocks. Spurrier is once again UGA's Daddy.
