Blame Stacy Searels, the vaunted offensive line coach, who, by the way, hasn\u2019t done bupkis. Blame anybody you want.<\/p>\n<p>But it starts with Richt. It\u2019s his program. He sets the tone and establishes direction. He is the one coaching at a school that hadn\u2019t started a season so poorly since Jim Donnan\u2019s first year in 1996 (3-5 on the way to 5-6). Richt is the one whose team committed three more turnovers against Tennessee and ranks as the worst in the conference and among the dregs nationally with 16 giveaways and a minus-11 turnover ratio.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Things are bad, and they will probably get worse before they get better.<\/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>I have not written a lot about the ass kicking UGA took last week, but the ajc\u2019s Jeff Schultz has plenty to say on the subject of the Bulldogs miserable season.
