In the case of the home cooking in Stillwater, Georgia had a couple of huge calls go against them, including one personal foul that set up the backbreaking TD to put Cowboys up for good at 24-10.<\/p>\n<p>How bad was the call?  The announcers continued to talk about it for at least 10 minutes.  It was that bad.  With that said \u2026<\/p>\n<p>I really thought that good things were in store for the Dawgs after they opened up on a great drive, but it because quickly apparent that on offense the Bulldogs could not sustain any sort of rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>Cox is not the answer.  Probably a good kid; smart \u2026 nice \u2026 all the intangibles, but if Georgia drops the South Carolina (home) or Arkansas (road) game, it will be time to bring this <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.ajc.com\/jeff-schultz-blog\/2009\/09\/05\/it-looks-a-lot-like-georgias-offense-left-town\/\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/blogs.ajc.com\/jeff-schultz-blog\/2009\/09\/05\/it-looks-a-lot-like-georgias-offense-left-town\/', 'experiment');\" target=\"new\">experiment<\/a> to a close and concentrate on next year\u2019s QB.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A college football team loses a quarterback and a running back in the first round of the NFL draft, and what do we hear? That they\u2019ll be more of a team. That they\u2019ll be better up front. That they\u2019ll spread things around and function as well \u2014 maybe even better \u2014 as before. Nobody in Athens ever said, \u201cMatthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno were holding us back.\u201d At times, it just sounded that way.<\/p>\n<p>Well, try this. Georgia just opened the season scoring 10 points against an Oklahoma State defense that ranked 93rd in the nation last season, which has been fairly the program standard. How does that make you feel going into SEC play? If can they manage only a field goal in their last 11 possessions against a defense poor by even Big 12 standards, how will they fare against South Carolina, or LSU, or anybody?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What else did we learn?  The Bulldogs have to figure out how to get more touches for Green (4 receptions for 52 yards).  I wonder if Samuel is the answer (20 carries for 87 yards); he looked tough enough, but often went down on ankle tackles.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia has one week to right the ship before the Fighting Chickens come a calling.  When was the last time Georgia started 0-2, or maybe 1-2?  This year may go south in a hurry.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8-2 on Saturday play, unfortunately I was wrong on the Georgia game.
