2009 OUTLOOK
2009 GEORGIA BULLDOGS
The 2008 football season ended with 10 victories, including a bowl title, giving Georgia double digits in wins for the sixth time in the past seven seasons. The Bulldogs accomplished the 10-win season despite a rash of injuries that led to a domino effect of attrition, depth issues and altered practices. As the Bulldogs embark on the 2009 fall camp, Coach Mark Richt has made it clear that he and his staff are hungry for a championship just like the fans. And Richt, who is starting his ninth season in Athens, said he is going to have a renewed emphasis on attention to detail and accountability. “The main thing for us is we absolutely want to maximize our potential in every area of our program,” Richt said. “I want our coaches to get better, for myself to become a better leader, our players to become the best possible players they can be in the off-season, spring ball, academically, socially. I want everything to improve. We’ve got a tremendous base of talent, outstanding coaches and tremendous support. We’ve got the ingredients. Each player, coach, everybody involved, we need to make sure they are hungry and get after it. We play in a tough league and everybody else is trying to do the same. We’re going to bang heads and be the best we can be.” That approach was never more apparent than at the Capital One Bowl workouts in Orlando, where the Bulldogs tackled more than they had for most of the regular season. The end result was a 24-12 victory over Michigan State in the bowl. Georgia had similar workouts during the spring camp. “We practiced different (in 2008), and it was attributed to the number of injuries starting in pre-season camp,” Richt said. “We addressed that in the way we practiced for the bowl. I think our defense improved in that time frame. They tackled better and had more of a swagger in that game. That’s part of it, practicing the way we need to practice.” The Bulldogs have an important fall camp in front of them as they look to replace several key players, including their top passer, rusher and receiver from a year ago. Georgia will return 49 lettermen, including seven starters on offense, six on defense and the placekicker. Here now is a position-by-position look at the Bulldogs heading into fall camp:
6
QUARTERBACKS With the early departure of overall No. 1 draft pick Matthew Stafford to the NFL, the Bulldogs will turn to the venerable Joe Cox (6-1, 198, Sr.) to lead the signal-callers. Cox has been the consummate teammate during his career, serving as an at-the-ready quarterback and encouraging his fellow Bulldogs. Cox saw action in just three games last year, but he has appeared in 13 career games, including one start. Despite his limited playing time, Cox has delivered five touchdown passes (about one per every six completions) and has impressed the coaches with his arm strength and game savvy. Most memorable is his fourthquarter performance off the bench in leading the Bulldogs to two touchdowns to beat Colorado 14-13 in 2006. Logan Gray (6-2, 192, RSo.) returns to give the Bulldogs a quarterback entering his third season in the system. Gray did not attempt a pass in 2008, but he logged valuable playing time as a sure-handed punt returner. The Georgia coaches also will take a look at highly regarded freshmen Zach Mettenberger (6-5, 234, Fr.) and Aaron Murray (6-1, 206, Fr.). Mettenberger and Murray enrolled early at Georgia and participated in spring drills. RUNNING BACKS In addition to Stafford, the Bulldogs said goodbye to firstround draft pick Knowshon Moreno, who also decided to pursue his NFL aspirations early. Moreno, an All-American tailback in 2008, had 2,734 yards and 30 touchdowns in just two seasons as a

Clint Boling, Chris Davis and Shaun Chapas are among the returners on offense this season.
Bulldog, leaving new running backs coach Bryan McClendon with big cleats to fill. Caleb King (5-11, 210, RSo.) finished as the Bulldogs’ second-leading rusher in 2008, gaining 247 yards with a touchdown. Richard Samuel was the team’s third-leading rusher in 2008 with 133 yards. Carlton Thomas (5-7, 178, RFr.) was impressive in workouts during his redshirt campaign and he scored the only touchdown in the G-Day Game. Dontavius Jackson (5-10, 200, RFr.) and Kalvin Daniels (5-10, 193, Jr.) will give the Bulldogs additional options. At fullback, the Bulldogs lost bruising stalwart Brannan Southerland to graduation. Fortunately, Shaun Chapas (6-2, 238, Jr.) stepped up a year ago as Southerland missed the first part of the season with an injury. In addition to his blocking and rushing, Chapas became a reliable receiver out of the backfield, catching nine passes for 120 yards and one touchdown. Fred Munzenmaier (6-2, 224, Jr.) also brings valuable experience, having played in 11 games in 2008. Justin Fields (6-1, 215, Sr.) gives the Bulldogs additional depth. WIDE RECEIVERS For new receivers coach Tony Ball (who shifts over from the running backs), the loss of Mohamed Massaquoi to graduation is tempered by the return of SEC Freshman of the Year A.J. Green (6-4, 207, So.). Green earned several Freshman All-America and All-SEC accolades after hauling in 56 passes for a team-best 963 yards and eight touchdowns in 2008. Michael Moore (6-1, 207, Sr.) had perhaps his best collegiate game in the Capital One Bowl with six receptions for 97 yards and one touchdown. Georgia also returns Israel Troupe (6-1, 215, RSo.) and Vernon Spellman (6-1, 185, Sr.) at flanker. With Kris Durham expected to miss the 2009 season with an injury, Tavarres King (6-1, 178, RFr.) will enter camp atop the depth chart at split end. King showed signs of contributing early in 2008 before an injury derailed his season. Marquise Brown (5-11, 179, Jr.) and special teams ace Zach Renner (5-11, 195, RSo.) provide additional depth.

RECORD BOOK
SPECIALISTS Blair Walsh (5-10, 180, So.) earned Freshman All-SEC honors by admirably handling the place-kicking duties his rookie season. Walsh went 50-for-50 on extra points and 15-of-23 on field goals, including a 52-yarder on his first collegiate kick. Andrew Jensen (6-3, 219, Jr.) and Jamie Lindley (5-11, 170, So.) could factor into the Bulldogs’ plans, particularly on kickoffs. Drew Butler (6-2, 203, RSo.) will look to take over the punting duties for Brian Mimbs. Butler was the Bulldogs’ coffin-corner specialist in 2008. Trent Dittmer (5-9, 175, RSo.) will back up Butler, who also will serve as the holder on placement kicks. Ty Frix (6-1, 206, RFr.), Rich and Billy Johnson (6-0, 225, RFr.) are the top candidates to succeed Bo Fowler at snapper. Miller, Gray and Reshad Jones will handle the punt return duties. Miller averaged 21.2 yards last season on nine returns, including one for a 92-yard touchdown against Alabama. Gray and Jones had 12- and 19-yard averages, respectively. Boykin and Thomas are penciled in as kickoff returners entering camp.
OPPONENTS/ REVIEW
DEFENSIVE ENDS The Bulldogs are making it a priority this season to come up with more pressure on opposing quarterbacks from the perimeter. Georgia battled injuries throughout last season at the end position and finished with only 9.5 sacks from that group. Justin Houston (6-3, 259, RSo.) is Georgia’s returning leader with sacks at 2.5 a year ago. Houston totaled 19 overall tackles, including 4.5 for loss, primarily in a reserve role. Kiante Tripp (6-6, 270, Jr.) is back on defense after a stint on the offensive line to shore up the Bulldogs’ depth. Cornelius Washington (6-4, 217, RFr.) and Jeremy Longo (6-3, 241, RFr.) will enter the mix after redshirting. On the other side, the Bulldogs have Roderick Battle (6-4, 259, Sr.) and DeMarcus Dobbs (6-2, 274, Jr.) bracketed atop the
DEFENSIVE BACKS Despite cornerback Asher Allen’s decision to leave a year early for the NFL and the graduation of safety CJ Byrd, the Bulldogs figure the secondary to still be formidable in 2009. Strong safety Reshad Jones (6-2, 214, Jr.), who decided to return rather than pursue the next level, followed Curran with 76 tackles last year and paced the Bulldogs with five interceptions – none more critical than the one to preserve victory at the end of the South Carolina game. Georgia also will get a look at Bacarri Rambo (6-0, 208, RFr.) and a healthy Quintin Banks (6-2, 213, Jr.) this fall. At free safety, Bryan Evans (5-11, 190, Sr.) returns after moving from cornerback during the 2008 season. Makiri Pugh (6-0, 196, RFr.) will vie for playing time. Prince Miller (5-8, 198, Sr.), who had 50 tackles a year ago, is back to hold down one of the cornerback slots for the Bulldogs. He will be spelled this fall by Vance Cuff (5-11, 177, Jr.). On the other side, Brandon Boykin (5-10, 182, So.) gets the first crack at replacing Allen. Sanders Commings (6-2, 214, RFr.) and Chad Gloer (5-10, 193, Jr.) also will be competing.
2009 PLAYERS
DEFENSIVE LINEMEN Georgia’s strength in the trenches won’t be limited to the offensive side of the ball. On defense, the Bulldogs will be returning several all-star candidates and experienced veterans. Geno Atkins (6-1, 290, Sr.) started all 13 games at one of the defensive tackle spots and paced the linemen with 34 tackles, including 7.5 for loss, in 2008. Kade Weston (6-5, 320, Sr.) will back him up in camp along with Brandon Wheeling (6-3, 276, Sr.). Georgia will get a boost at the other tackle with the return of Jeff Owens (6-3, 306, Sr.), who was lost for the 2008 season with a knee injury suffered in the first game. DeAngelo Tyson (6-2, 294, So.), a 2008 Freshman All-SEC selection, Ricardo Crawford (6-1, 303, Jr.) and Brandon Wood (6-1, 275, Jr.) are slated as reserves.
LINEBACKERS This should be a strength for the Bulldogs in 2009 as they have a solid mix of veterans and up-and-coming newcomers. All-SEC performer Rennie Curran (5-11, 222, Jr.) paced the Bulldogs with 115 tackles a year ago, nearly 40 more than the closest teammate. Curran, who had five games with double digits in tackles in 2008, will anchor the defense from the Will linebacker position. Nick Williams (6-2, 219, So.), who picked up valuable playing time on special teams a year ago, and Christian Robinson (6-2, 216, RFr.) will serve as his backups. At the Sam spot, Darryl Gamble (6-2, 250, Jr.) is the secondleading returning tackler among the linebackers with 60 last season. Gamble also picked off two passes and returned them for touchdowns in the Bulldogs’ win at LSU in 2008. Darius Dewberry (6-3, 231, Sr.) will get back in action following rehab from surgery. Georgia also has Jackson Griffeth (6-2, 197, RFr.) and Devin Hollander (5-11, 231, Sr.) at the position. Akeem Dent (6-2, 226, Jr.) returns to lead the charge at the Mike slot. The Bulldogs also get Marcus Washington (6-0, 256, Sr.) and Charles White (6-1, 224, RSo.) back from injuries that kept them off the field in 2008, and they return Marcus Dowtin (6-2, 228, So.), who saw valuable playing time as a rookie.
COACHING STAFF
OFFENSIVE LINEMEN A year ago, the Bulldogs averaged 426 total yards and 31 points per game. While those numbers speak to the talent Georgia had at the skill positions on offense, they also show the effectiveness of the Bulldogs’ offensive line despite starting three freshmen and dealing with numerous injuries. A year older and healthier, the offensive line should be a considerable strength. Clint Boling (6-5, 297, Jr.) will anchor the Bulldogs’ line at left tackle after his All-SEC season a year ago during which he played both guard and tackle. Trinton Sturdivant (6-5, 306, RSo.) will back him up after missing all of last year with an injury. A.J. Harmon (6-5, 310, RFr.), who made the switch from defensive line during his redshirt season, also will get a look. Tanner Strickland (6-5, 328, RSo.) tops the preseason depth chart at left guard. Chris Davis (6-4, 290, Jr.), following off-season surgery, is the backup and the Bulldogs also have Jonathan Owens (6-4, 294, RFr.). On the right side, the Bulldogs are flip-flopping 2008 guard Cordy Glenn (6-5, 330, So.) and 2008 tackle Justin Anderson (65, 328, RSo.). Glenn will head into fall as the No. 1 right tackle, followed by Casey Nickels (6-4, 274, Jr.), Vince Vance (6-8, 325, Jr.) and Josh Davis (6-6, 300, Jr.). Vance and Davis are both coming off injuries that caused them to miss spring workouts. Anderson is listed atop the depth chart at right guard, with Ben Harden (6-6, 303, RSo.) as the backup. At center, 2008 Freshman All-American and 10-game starter Ben Jones (6-3, 294, So.) returns. Kevin Perez (6-3, 264, Jr.) and early enrollee Dallas Lee (6-4, 293, Fr.) will back him up.
depth chart. Battle is a 20-game starter for Georgia, while Dobbs had an interception return for a touchdown against Central Michigan and a critical pick in the Kentucky victory last year. Neland Ball (6-6, 236, RSo.) also will give Georgia some options.
2009 PREVIEW
TIGHT ENDS At tight end, where the Bulldogs lost veteran Tripp Chandler to graduation, Aron White (6-4, 227, RSo.) will enter the fall atop the depth chart. White had two touchdowns among his three catches a year ago, including one in the Capital One Bowl. Parttime starter Bruce Figgins (6-4, 260, Jr.) also is back, and the Bulldogs will take a look at Derek Rich (6-2, 256, Jr.) and Bryce Ros (6-4, 242, RFr.).

Georgia Among Best in the SEC Under Richt
Georgia is tied for the lead with LSU in the SEC since 2001 with a 82-22 record. In that span, LSU and Georgia have met five times, each winning on their home fields once and in Atlanta for the SEC title. The Bulldogs topped the Tigers 52-38 in Baton Rouge in 2008 to give Georgia a 3-2 edge in that span.

‘Moore’ To Georgia’s Receiving Corps Than Just Green
Wide receiver Michael Moore got a jump-start to 2009 with a career performance during Georgia’s win over #19 Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl. Moore finished with a game-high 97 yards and one touchdown on six catches against the Spartans. His touchdown capped a 10-play, 96-yard drive that gave the Bulldogs the lead for good over Michigan State. In the bowl game, the Spartans limited A.J. Green and Mohamed Massaquoi to two catches for 22 yards. Green and Massaquoi combined to be the best receiving duo in school history after recording 114 catches for 1,883 yards and 16 touchdowns. Other potential targets for the Bulldogs include split ends junior Tony Wilson and redshirt freshman Tavarres King. Wilson is slated to start at split end after an injury cut his season short in 2008, while King looks to make an impact after playing in four games last season. In addition, redshirt sophomore Israel Troupe had a team-high five catches for 38 yards in the spring G-Day game. Georgia’s projected starter at tight end is redshirt sophomore Aron White (3 rec., 88 yds., 2 TDs). White capped his spring by snagging three catches for 50 yards at the G-Day game.
Battle In The Backfield
HISTORY
After All-American Knowshon Moreno became the 12th overall pick during the 2009 NFL Draft, Georgia’s “veteran” tailback options include sophomore Caleb King and sophomore Richard Samuel. King appeared in 11 games and gained 247 yards and one touchdown last season. Samuel, who will miss the spring due to wrist surgery, saw action in 11 games and gained 133 yards on 26 carries. Samuel proved to be more of a threat as a kick returner after having 19 returns for 401 yards (21.1 yards per return). The Bulldogs got their first extended look at redshirt freshmen Carlton Thomas and Dontavius Jackson during the spring. Thomas led all rushers during the spring G-Day game with 59 yards, highlighted by a 20-yard touchdown to end the game.
ACADEMICS
Georgia sophomore A.J. Green (56 rec., 963 yds., 8 TDs in 2008) looks to build on a successful freshman season where he ranked first in the SEC in receiving yds./game at 74.1. Green led the SEC in receiving yardage, yards per game and tied for first in TDs by receivers. Green was the first freshman to lead the SEC in receiving yds./game since 1999 (Auburn’s Ronny Daniels, 97.1 yds/game). He became the first Bulldog to lead the SEC in receiving since Brice Hunter (59 rec., 799 yds., 7 TDs) in 1994. Green fell just short of reaching the 1,000-yard mark. In school history, Georgia has had only one 1,000-yard receiver, Terrence Edwards in 2002 (1,004). Green was the first freshman to lead UGA in receiving since Edwards (53 rec., 772 yds., 9 TDs) in 1999. Green did establish a school record for catches by a freshman. He set the mark against Georgia Tech. Edwards had the record with 53 in 1999. Following his freshman campaign, Green was named to FWAA Freshman All-America Team as well as to CollegeFootballNews.com’s and Phil Steele’s All-Freshman First Team. In addition, Green was selected to Sporting News’ All-Freshman Team, named Freshman of the Year by SEC Coaches and named First Team All-SEC by Associated Press. He also earned the team’s Newcomer of the Year Award on offense Now Green looks to try and post big numbers as a sophomore like Hunter did in 1993 when he set a school record with 76 catches. Hunter gained 976 yards and caught nine touchdowns. Hunter’s 976 yards still ranks second in school history.
RECORD BOOK
Green Gunning For Standout Sophomore Season
When the 2008 season began, Shaun Chapas moved into the starting role at fullback due to a injury to then senior Brannan Southerland. Chapas ended up with six starts and appeared in all 13 games. Chapas showed his pass catching skills throughout the 2008 season and actually ended up with more receptions than rushing attempts. He had nine catches for 120 yards and one touchdown plus seven rushes for 25 yards. A powerful blocker, he helped pave the way for All-American Knowshon Moreno to tally 1,400 rushing yards last year to go along with 16 touchdowns.

Cox’s career stats
Georgia started five different tackles (three at LT and three at RT; Clint Boling made starts at both) in 2008 following a rash of injuries at the position. There were five different starting lineups on the OL in 2008. Georgia allowed only nine sacks in its last eight games and 17 total last year. By the end of the season, Georgia’s starting unit featured Boling (LT), Cordy Glenn (LG), Ben Jones (C), Chris Davis (RG) and Josh Davis (RT). This group helped Georgia have the league’s top passing offense (277.7 yds./ game) and ranked second best in total offense (426.0). The Bulldogs were third in the league in scoring offense (31.5 ppg.). The Bulldogs return freshman All-American Trinton Sturdivant (redshirt sophomore, 6-5, 306) who missed the entire 2008 season due to a knee injury and subsequent surgery. Sturdivant started all 13 games in 2007. Another veteran lineman returning from an injury will be Vince Vance (senior, 6-8, 325), who made six starts before going down with a season-ending knee injury. Guard Justin Anderson (redshirt sophomore, 6-5, 328) also returns after missing some time with a foot injury in 2008. Anderson appeared in 12 games and made seven starts at either guard or tackle. Vance is the only senior among the aforementioned linemen. Redshirt sophomore Tanner Strickland had a strong showing during the spring and is expected to be vying for a role at guard by the fall. Chris Davis, Josh Davis and Vance are slated to be back by fall camp after missing the spring with injuries.
COACHING STAFF
Senior Joe Cox will begin the fall as the Bulldogs’ starting quarterback. In his career, Cox has appeared in 13 games with one start. He is 33-for-58 for 432 yards with five touchdowns and one interception. Cox’s lone start came as a redshirt freshman in 2006 at Ole Miss. The Bulldogs beat the Rebels 14-9. In the spring G-Day scrimmage, Cox led the Red Team to a 13-3 win after going 9-of-16 for 105 yards. Last season, Cox appeared in three games and was 11-for-15 for 151 yards and two touchdowns. His touchdown passes came against Georgia Southern and No. 5 Florida in Jacksonville. One of Cox’s most memorable moments in his Bulldog career came as a redshirt freshman when he led Georgia to a fourth-quarter comeback over Colorado. He tossed a game-winning 20-yard touchdown pass to tight end Martrez Milner with 46 seconds left. It capped a five-play, 43-yard drive to beat the Buffaloes 14-13. Cox has not lost a game as a starter since his middle school years. The Charlotte, N.C., native was 31-0 as the starting quarterback at Independence High School. Georgia’s depth behind Cox includes redshirt sophomore Logan Gray and early enrollees Aaron Murray and Zach Mettenberger. Gray enjoyed a productive G-Day performance, going 9-for-13 for 91 yards. Murray excited the crowd with the longest completion of the day, a 43-yard scrambling strike to Marquise Brown.

DOG TRACKS
THE DEFENSE
SEC’s Top Returning Tackler Back
Junior WLB Rennie Curran is the top returning tackler in the Southeastern Conference after leading the Bulldogs with 115 stops. He was the Bulldogs’ top tackler nine times this season. Curran was the first Georgia defender to register 100 tackles in a season since safety Thomas Davis in 2003. Davis tallied 130 that season and eventually earned All-America honors and was a first-round pick in the 2005 draft by the Carolina Panthers, the 14th player selected overall. Curran was one of four SEC players to have at least 100 tackles in 2008. Senior Dominick Douglas of Mississippi State led the league with 116. Curran followed up his career-high 15 during the road win against Kentucky with a team-high nine against Auburn and team-high 11 against #18 Georgia Tech. Also in 2008, he had 14 stops against No. 11 LSU and No. 8 Alabama. He was one of three Bulldogs who finished the year with a team-high three sacks. Curran provided one of the season’s biggest defensive stops in the SEC opener against South Carolina and earned SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors for his efforts. With the Gamecocks aiming for a tying touchdown in the fourth quarter, Curran hit Mike Davis on the 1-yard line and caused a fumble that was recovered by junior Asher Allen in the end zone. This stop proved pivotal as the Bulldogs won 14-7.
Bulldog sophomore Blair Walsh scored 95 points in his rookie campaign. That tally rankedsecond behind All-American tailback Knowshon Moreno, who finished with 108 points. As a freshman, Walsh went 15-for-23 on the year in field goal attempts. Three of his misses came from 50+ yards and he was 2-for-5 from that range. He scored a career high 14 points on four field goals (34, 20, 41, and 28 yards) and two PATs against Tennessee. Walsh was a perfect 50-for-50 in PATs in 2008. His first career field goal was good from 52 yards out against Georgia Southern. Walsh became the first Bulldog true freshman to kick in a season opener since All-American and eventual College Football Hall of Famer Kevin Butler (father of current Georgia punter Drew Butler) in 1981. Walsh’s field goal was the longest ever by a Bulldog freshman at Sanford Stadium. Walsh’s original kicking teacher was Nick Gancitano, who kicked for Penn State against Georgia and Kevin Butler in the 1982 Sugar Bowl.
A Look At The Secondary
With the graduation of Brian Mimbs, redshirt sophomore Drew Butler will handle the punting duties. Butler, who saw limited duty behind Mimbs, had three “pooch” punts for an average of 35.7 yards. He will also follow in the footsteps of Mimbs as he will serve as the holder for Walsh. Mimbs finished his career at Georgia as one of the school’s all-time best punters. His career average of 43.1 ranks second in school history.
The Bulldogs’ projected starting unit will feature senior Prince Miller and sophomore Brandon Boykin at the defensive backs and junior Reshad Jones and senior Bryan Evans at the safeties. Miller set a career high with 11 tackles against Kentucky and recorded his first career sack against the Vols (one play later, Miller returned a punt 27 yards). Evans, who played defensive back his first three seasons, tied his career high with seven tackles (all solo) versus Arizona State. Jones had an INT to clinch the 14-7 victory over South Carolina. The Gamecocks were driving for a potential game-tying TD when Jones picked off a Chris Smelley pass on the Georgia 3 yard line. Jones tallied eight tackles and one INT to lead Georgia over Vanderbilt. Jones added interceptions against Vanderbilt, LSU, Georgia Tech and Michigan State to give him a team-best five last year. He ranked second on the team with 76 tackles, including a career-high 12 in the win over #11 LSU. A host of players got valuable experience last season and are expected to be called upon in 2009. Vance Cuff and Sanders Commings should get playing time at defensive back while Quintin Banks, Bacarri Rambo and John Knox will be expected to contribute at safety.

Houston Headlines Bulldog Defensive Ends

SPECIAL TEAMS
Walsh, The Incumbent At PK
With a half a dozen Bulldogs sidelined due to injuries this past spring, Georgia’s defensive front will likely look much different in the fall. Georgia’s healthy veteran defensive ends include Demarcus Dobbs and Justin Houston. Houston exploded for four tackles for loss, including a team-high three sacks, during the spring G-Day game. Both Dobbs and Houston had 19 tackles each and combined for 4.5 sacks in 2008. The Bulldogs will also get to take a longer look at redshirt freshman Jeremy Longo while junior Kiante Tripp makes the transition back to defensive end. The 6-6 Tripp began his career as a defensive end before moving and seeing action as an offensive lineman in 2007 and 2008. He also trained at tight end after the Bulldog suffered injuries at that position before returning to defensive end. Dobbs had two big interceptions during the 2008 season. He preserved Georgia’s win at Kentucky with a one-handed grab at the Georgia 13 yard line. Against Central Michigan, Dobbs snagged a pass that teammate Prince Miller tipped and returned it 78 yards for a TD. Dobbs’ INT for a TD was the first for Georgia since 2006 (Tra Battle, Auburn). Georgia has a trio of defensive ends who were injured durnig the spring but are expected to be back for the fall: senior Rod Battle, redshirt sophomore Neland Ball and redshirt freshman Cornelius Washington.
Defensive Front Featuring Three Standout Seniors
The Bulldog defensive line will feature three senior veterans as Jeff Owens returns from an injury to rejoin Geno Atkins and Kade Weston. Atkins anchors Georgia’s defensive tackles with 18 consecutive starts after tallying 34 tackles, including 7.5 for a loss, and a team-high 32 quarterback pressures in 2008. Another returning veteran on the inside is Weston, who finished 2008 with 18 tackles, including 3.5 for a loss, in just 10 games. Although he was limited during the spring, the Bulldogs will welcome back Owens to the lineup after he suffered a knee injury during the first quarter of the 2008 opener versus Georgia Southern. Owens bypassed the NFL Draft to return for one more season of wearing the red and black. A fourth Bulldog senior to to keep an eye on is Brandon Wheeling. He was a two-year starter at West Georgia (2006, 2007) before joining Georgia’s squad and redshirting during the 2008 season.
2009 MEDIA GUIDE
Butler To Handle Punts
Frix Following In Footsteps
Redshirt freshman Ty Frix enters the fall as the projected starting snapper for the Bulldogs. Georgia was looking for a new snapper after two-year starter Bo Fowler completed his career. Frix’s father, Dr. Mitch Frix, was the snapper for Georgia from 1979 to 1982 and was part of three SEC championships, one national championship and three Sugar Bowl appearances. He is now an orthopedic surgeon in the Atlanta area. Along with Frix, the competition for snapper includes junior Derek Rich and redshirt freshman Billy Johnson. Showing his versatility, Rich had two catches for 44 yards from his tight end spot during the spring G-Day game.
The Return Game
Georgia welcomes back veteran punt returners in Prince Miller (9 for 191, 21.2, 1 TD), Logan Gray (6 for 72, 12.0) and Reshad Jones (2 for 38, 19.0). The 2008 Bulldogs set a single season record for punt return average at 17.6 yards/return. The old mark was 16.5 set by the 1980 national championship team. The top candidates for returning kickoffs in 2009 will be sophomore Brandon Boykin and redshirt freshman Carlton Thomas. Sophomore Richard Samuel, who missed the spring due to a wrist injury, had 19 returns for 401 yards last year. The Bulldogs must replace Ramarcus Brown who graduated and finished as Georgia’s record holder with a 25.6 career average.

Among the highlights of his first year was redshirt freshman quarterback David Greene being named SEC Freshman of the Year after a season in which Greene set the school record for passing yards (2,789) and passing TD’s (17) by a freshman. And in ‘02, Greene led the SEC in passing efficiency and was the consensus choice for All-SEC first team. By the end of his career, Greene had become the SEC’s all-time leading passer (11,528 yards) and set the NCAA Division 1-A record for career victories by a starting QB with 42. D.J. Shockley followed Greene in 2005 and led the SEC in passing efficiency. Matthew Stafford came next (2006-08) and set the Georgia record for season total offense in 2008 (3,499 yards) and finished third in career passing yardage (7,731).

ead Coach Mark Richt came to Georgia with the motto, “Finish the drill.” After eight seasons between the hedges, he’s demonstrated what that means by winning two SEC Championships (2002, ‘05), three SEC Eastern Division titles and tied for another, and his 82-22 record is fourth best in the country in winning percentage among active coaches (.788). And his emphasis on graduation has come to fruition as 102 Bulldog players have earned their degrees since December, 2004. His 2008 team finished 10-3--the sixth time in the last seven years the Bulldogs have won 10 or more games and also finished among the nation’s top 10 teams in the final national polls. Richt was named SEC Coach of the Year in both 2002 and 2005. His record against non-conference teams is 34-3 and his teams are 30-4 when playing in an opponent’s home stadium. He is one of only nine head coaches in Division I-A history to record 60 or more wins in his first six seasons and 70 or more wins in his first seven seasons and one of only seven to reach 80 wins in his first eight seasons. Richt is also one of only six coaches in history to win two SEC championships (2002, 2005) in his first five years, and one of only five head coaches in SEC history to record four straight 10-win seasons (2002-05). The excitement produced by Richt’s teams on the field has been matched by many other aspects surrounding the program. Richt has generated an atmosphere of excitement and unity among the Georgia people. Georgia supporters and fans became impressed with his sincerity, openness, family values, and the casual and genuine way he carried himself. They liked his ideas on building a football program, his commitment to discipline, and the importance he placed on standards of excellence on and off the field. And they liked the way he refused to set limitations on what would be a satisfactory season. “I like to set our goals high,” he said. “I never want to put a ceiling on what we

HEAD COACH MARK RICHT Richt himself was a consensus choice as SEC Coach of the Year and was a finalist for the Bear Bryant National Coach of the Year Award. In addition, the ‘02 Bulldogs led the SEC in both scoring offense (32.2 ppg) and scoring defense (15.1 ppg). 2001: By the time his inaugural season in 2001 came to a close (84), he had become the first Georgia coach since H.J. Stegeman in 1920 to win eight games in his inaugural season. He had also handed Tennessee its only regular season defeat (in Knoxville on national television) and beaten arch rival Georgia Tech (for the first time since 1997).
2009 GEORGIA BULLDOGS
The Road To Athens His career as a Bulldog began as a Christmas present that actually came the day after most gifts had been opened. On Dec. 26, 2000, Richt was named head coach at the University of Georgia after serving on the staff at Florida State for 15 years—the last seven as offensive coordinator. Richt, a 1982 graduate of the University of Miami, coached the quarterbacks for 14 seasons at FSU. As offensive coordinator, he developed offenses that were among the most prolific in college football history while becoming one of country’s most respected coaches. His personal and professional development paid off as athletic director Vince Dooley introduced him to the media and the Georgia people as UGA’s 25th head football coach at a day-after-Christmas press conference.

Building a Family
Richt married Katharyn in 1987. They have four children. Two came along the usual way — Jon and David. But two came in a very special way. “We were in Sunday School class one day talking about the ills of society,” said Richt. “We explored questions like ‘who’s in charge of taking care of the poor and the elderly.’ We felt like the church should do its share.” Also, Katharyn’s brother and sister-in-law had previously adopted children from the Ukraine. Months later, Katharyn was in the Ukraine, a former republic of the Soviet Union, arranging the adoption of two children, classmates in the same orphanage. She spent 31 days there while Mark spent about eight days. When they returned in July, 1999, they had Zack and Anya, in tow. “They have been a special blessing to all our family,” said Katharyn.

Veteran defensive coach Jon Fabris was named defensive ends coach at UGA in January, 2001, after serving as an assistant coach with the NFL Cleveland Browns during the 2000 season. In his eleven seasons as a defensive ends coach, Fabris has had eleven defensive ends taken in the NFL draft. During his eight years at UGA, he has been part of a staff that has led Georgia to 82 victories, two SEC championships, three SEC Eastern Division titles, six bowl victories, and six top ten finishes in the final national polls. Since 2001, UGA is the only punt return team in the nation to finish in the top 15 six times, the Dogs have recorded six of the top ten punt return averages in UGA history and six of the top 11 players in career sacks have played at UGA. Fabris' 2008 punt return unit averaged 17.6 yards per return which was first in the SEC, fourth nationally, and broke the school record set in 1980. In 2007, the UGA defense finished first in the SEC in quarterback sacks, and DE Marcus Howard led the SEC in sacks while also being voted Sugar Bowl MVP. Also in 2007, punt returner Thomas Flowers broke a 56 year old UGA record ending his career with a 14.9 yards per return average which is third in SEC history. Fabris helped the 2006 UGA defense finish eighth nationally in total defense while DE Charles Johnson led the SEC in tackles for loss. Fabris' 2006 punt return unit led the nation in punt return yards (505), finished 7th in yards per return (14.9) and tied a 50-year UGA record for punt return TDs with three. In 2005, the UGA defense finished eighth nationally in scoring defense, and DE Quentin Moses made 1st Team All-SEC. Fabris' 2005 punt return unit finished 14th nationally at 13.8 yards per return. In 2004 the UGA defense finished in the nation's top 10 in both scoring and total defense as well as leading the SEC in quarterback sacks. Fabris' 2004 punt return unit finished first in the SEC and 14th nationally averaging 13.8 yards per return. One of his defensive ends, David Pollack, became the most decorated defensive player in Bulldog history, in 2004, by being named a first team All-American for the third straight year, SEC Player of the Year for the second time, and walked off with most of the nation's most prestigious defensive awards: the Rotary Lombardi Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award, Ted Hendricks Award (second straight year), and the Ronnie Lott Trophy. Pollack also ended his UGA career as the all-time sack leader with 36. In addition, Pollack was selected most Valuable Defensive Player of the 2004 Capital One Bowl and MVP of the 2005 Outback Bowl while leading the SEC in sacks and tackles for loss in 2002 and 2004. Another Fabris protege, Damien Gary, ended his career as Georgia's all-time leader in punt return yardage (1,253 yards) and third in SEC history. In 2003, Fabris helped UGA finish third nationally in scoring defense and fourth nationally in total defense. Fabris was an integral part of the 2002 Bulldog defense that finished first in the SEC and fourth nationally in scoring defense and first in the SEC in quarterback sacks. Fabris' 2002 punt return unit set single-season school records for blocked punts (five) and punt return yards (746) and finished 10th nationally in punt return average (14.92 ypr). The 2001 punt return team finished first in the SEC and ninth nationally with a 14.1 yards per return average. Prior to coaching with the Browns, Fabris coached the defensive ends on a 1999 South Carolina team that finished 20th nationally in total defense. He spent the 1997-98 seasons at Kansas State where he helped develop the Wildcats' defensive and special teams into some of the nation’s best. In 1998, KSU was third nationally in total defense and tied for sixth in scoring defense, and in 1997, finished fourth in the nation in total defense, sixth in scoring defense and second in QB sacks. Fabris' 1998 K-State punt return unit led the country (21.3 avg.), returning an incredible five punts for TDs while becoming the first school in NCAA history to return a punt for a TD in three straight games. In 1997, the Kansas State punt return unit finished 13th nationally at 13.0 yards per return. Fabris spent the 1995 season as a graduate assistant at Notre Dame where he handled all kick return and coverage units and assisted with the offensive line. Notre Dame’s punt return unit improved 89 places from the year before to finish 17th nationally at 12.2 yards per return, while the Irish kick off return team moved up 64 places to also place 17th nationally at 22.0 yards per return. In January 1996, he was promoted to wide receivers coach. Fabris spent eight seasons at Iowa State (1987-94) coaching linebackers, kickoff coverage and punt returns. His kickoff coverage units ranked in the nation’s top 10 from 1991-94 and during that four-year period, the Cyclones finished first nationally, allowing just 14.9 yards a return. His punt return units ranked among the top seven nationally from 1991-93, and Iowa State, again, finished first nationally in that three-year period averaging 15.8 yards per return. Fabris coached at Washington State from 1982-86 where he assisted with the defensive backfield (1982) and coached tight ends (1983-86). The Cougars finished in the nation’s top 10 in total offense in 1984 and 1985. He and his wife, Marcy, have two sons; Jack, 5, and Mike, 3. "Coach Fabris coaches us to play the game like it is meant to be played. He never lets us settle for anything less than perfect and I think we all are better players at the end of the day because of his coaching." – ............ DE Roderick Battle

He added the duties of Running Game Coordinator in 2009. In each of his first two seasons he took offensive lines with three freshman starters and molded them into formidable units that were instrumental in the Dogs' 11-2 and 10-3 records and top ten final rankings. A native of Trion, Ga., and 1990 graduate of Auburn, Searels was an All-America lineman for the Tigers in 1987 when he was a teammate of current Georgia defensive line coach Rodney Garner. Prior to joining the LSU staff, he coached the offensive line at Cincinnati (2000-02), Appalachian State (1994-2000), and served as a graduate assistant at Auburn (1992-93). LSU’s offensive unit in 2006 finished first in the SEC in total offense and scoring offense and was third in rushing offense and passing offense. Searels made a habit of producing All-America linemen for LSU. He coached two First-Team All-Americans in Stephen Peterman and Rimington Award winner Ben Wilkerson and a Second-Team All-America in Andrew Whitworth. Five of his Tiger linemen earned spots on NFL rosters. In addition, during that four-year stretch, LSU’s offensive line produced a pair of First-Team Academic All-Americas in Rodney Reed and Rudy Niswanger. LSU had an offensive lineman named First-Team Academic All-America four straight years. Niswanger became the most decorated student-athlete in school history in 2005, winning the Draddy Award as college football’s top scholar-athlete as well as being the inaugural recipient of the Wuerffel Trophy. Searels joined the staff at LSU after a two-year stint as offensive line coach at Cincinnati. While with the Bearcats, Cincinnati played in two bowl games as well as winning the school’s first conference title since 1964 by capturing the 2002 Conference USA crown. Prior to joining Cincinnati, Searels served as an assistant coach at Appalachian State from 1994-2000, helping the I-AA squad to five playoff appearances and a pair of Southern Conference titles. While at Appalachian State, Searels was presented with the NCAA Award of Valor, which has only been awarded eight times and honors those who “when confronted with a situation involving personal danger, averted or minimized potential disaster by courageous action or noteworthy bravery.” He was recognized for his act of courage following a head-on collision involving a van carrying members of the Mountaineer football team and support staff on Sept. 30, 2000. With the Appalachian State van burning, Searels pulled out two staff members, that were trapped in the vehicle (11 other passengers in the van were able to escape on their own). Moments after Searels got the two staff members to safety, the van was engulfed in flames. Searels got his start in coaching as a graduate assistant at Auburn in 1992, working with the Tiger squad that posted a perfect 11-0 mark in 1993. As a senior in 1987, Searels earned First Team All-America honors from both the Associated Press and Football News. Searels was a three-year starter for Auburn, blocking for Heisman Trophy winner Bo Jackson in 1985 and All-America Brent Fullwood in 1986. He also participated in four bowl. A First-Team All-Southeastern Conference selection as both a junior and senior, he was honored with the team’s Ken Rice Award as the school’s best blocking lineman in 1987. He played in both the Japan Bowl and the Senior Bowl following the 1987 season. In 1990, the Birmingham Post-Herald named Searels to the Auburn team of the 1980’s. Searels was a fourth round draft pick by the San Diego Chargers in 1988, playing two seasons there before moving to the Miami Dolphins for the 1990 season. He ended his professional career in 1991 with the New York/New Jersey Knights of the World League of American Football.

GEORGIA SOUTHERN
Aug. 30, 2008 • Sanford Stadium – Athens, Ga.
Sept. 6, 2008 • Sanford Stadium – Athens, Ga.
Georgia’s Matthew Stafford threw for a career-high 275 yards and tailback Knowshon Moreno rushed for three touchdowns as the top-ranked Bulldogs earned a 45-21 season opening victory over Georgia Southern in front of sellout crowd of 92,746 at Sanford Stadium. Georgia scored on its first two possessions to take a 10-0 lead and held a 31-0 advantage at halftime. Georgia rolled up 535 total yards while holding the Eagles to 290 to improve to 8-0 all-time in season openers under Mark Richt. The Bulldogs built a 38-0 lead before Southern got on the board in the second half. Stafford went 13-of-21 for 275 yards and two touchdowns. He had scoring passes of 61 yards to Kris Durham and five yards to Demiko Goodman. Reserve quarterback Joe Cox went 4-for-6 for 48 yards, including a 4-yard scoring toss to freshman A.J. Green. Moreno gained 59 yards on eight carries, including scoring runs of two, three and 23 yards. He also had two receptions for 53 yards. Tailback Caleb King led the Bulldogs with 95 yards in his Georgia debut. Georgia’s other points came on a 53-yard field goal by kicker Blair Walsh. That was the longest field goal by a Georgia freshman in Athens. Walsh also kicked all six extra points. Tackle Corvey Irvin and linebacker Darryl Gamble paced Georgia with six tackles each. Linebacker Dannell Ellerbe added five tackles and an interception in the end zone to thwart a Georgia Southern scoring chance.
Sophomore running back Knowshown Moreno rushed for 168 yards and tied a career-high with three TD runs as No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs defeated the Central Michigan Chippewas 56-17 in front of 92,746 fans and a FSN regional television audience at Sanford Stadium. Matthew Stafford completed 18-of-28 passes for 213 yards, hooking up with Mohamed Massaquoi on a pair of TD passes. DE Demarcus Dobbs rumbled for a 78-yard score after picking off a deflected pass. Georgia raced to a 28-0 lead over the Chippewas just before halftime, and stymied any hopes of a comeback with two big scoring plays early in the third quarter. After Central Michigan closed to 28-14 on Dan LeFevour’s second TD pass, Moreno put it away. The sophomore took the pitch on a sweep around right end, burst upfield when he spotted a hole, stiff-armed defensive back Eric Fraser and crashed off the pylon for a 52-yard score. Moreno capped a 99-yard drive with a 21-yard TD, the last of his 18 carries and equaling his three-score performances against Florida and Troy. He’s off and running again with the seventh 100-yard game of his career. LeFevour, who put up similar pass-rush numbers a year ago to Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow, was 23-of-43 for 248 yards, but ran just four times for 20 yards.

2008 GAME SUMMARIES ARIZONA STATE
A four-yard TD run by RB Knowshon Moreno in the third quarter proved to be the game-winner as the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs earned a hard-fought 14-7 victory over South Carolina before 83,704 fans at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, S.C., and a CBS national TV audience. Georgia (3-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) forced two turnovers by South Carolina (1-2, 0-2) in the fourth quarter. The first time came with about eight minutes left and South Carolina on the Georgia 2. TB Mike Davis tried to leap the pile when linebacker Rennie Curran jarred the ball loose and into the arms of cornerback Asher Allen. South Carolina got a final chance and drove to the Georgia 17. Reshad Jones intercepted Chris Smelley’s pass with 13 seconds left at the 3. The Bulldogs held South Carolina to 18 yards on 16 rushes making sure the Gamecocks didn’t ruin a second straight shot at a championship season. The Bulldogs trailed 7-6 midway through the third quarter. Georgia had already muffed a scoring chance near the goal line, settling for Blair Walsh’s 23-yard field goal after having a third-and-goal at the South Carolina 1. Moreno, who finished with 79 yards on 20 carries, ran left, then took a hard cut up the middle with his feet sliding out from under him. Moreno steadied himself with his right hand, then slipped through for his seventh touchdown of the year. Quarterback Matthew Stafford converted the 2-point try on a pass to receiver Kris Durham and Georgia led 14-7.
Knowshon Moreno rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns and A.J. Green caught eight passes for 159 yards to lead No. 3 Georgia to a decisive 27-10 victory over No. 24 Arizona State in front of 72,955 fans at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Ariz., and an ABC national television audience. It was Georgia’s first regular-season trip to the West since a 1960 visit to Los Angeles to play Southern California. The Bulldogs (4-0) allowed just four yards rushing against Arizona State (2-2), the Sun Devils’ lowest rushing total since 2002. The Bulldogs scored three TDs in the second quarter. The first score came on a run when Moreno took a handoff at Arizona State’s nine yard line, sped around right end and catapulted into the end zone from the four yard line. The Bulldogs’ next score came after a fumble by Arizona State tailback Dimitri Nance. Five plays later, Moreno burst through a gaping hole in the middle of the line for a three-yard TD to put the Bulldogs ahead 14-0. Arizona State trimmed the lead to 14-3 on a 25-yard field goal by Thomas Weber. The kick capped a 10-play 75-yard drive -- and 40 of the yards came on Georgia penalties. Georgia responded as Matthew Stafford first hit Green for 23 yards. Then he found Green between two defenders for a 31-yard reception. Three plays later, a wide-open Green caught a 14-yard pass in the end zone for a 21-3 Georgia lead. The Sun Devils took the second-half kickoff and marched 71 yards in nine plays, scoring on a 6-yard pass from Rudy Carpenter to Andrew Pettes. But the Bulldogs answered with a 29-yard field goal by Blair Walsh to push their lead back to 24-10 heading into the final quarter. Walsh made it 27-10 with a 22-yarder midway through the fourth quarter.

2008 GAME SUMMARIES #8 ALABAMA
Oct. 11, 2008 • Sanford Stadium – Athens, Ga.
No. 8 Alabama scored on all five offensive possessions in the first half and raced to a 31-0 lead as the Crimson Tide defeated No. 3 Georgia 41-30 in front of 92,746 fans at Sanford Stadium and an ESPN national television audience. The loss snapped Georgia’s 11-game winning streak, which was the nation’s second longest active streak of any Division I-A team. Alabama quarterback John Parker Wilson completed his first seven pass attempts and finished 13-of-16 for 205 yards in leading the Crimson Tide to their first victory over the Bulldogs when both teams were ranked. The Bulldogs scored 30 points in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to overcome their largest halftime deficit since 1999. Prince Miller returned a punt 92 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter to pull Georgia to within 31-17, but Alabama responded on the ensuing drive with a Leigh Tiffin field goal to make it 34-17 with 9:45 left. The Alabama defense stifled the Bulldogs’ ground attack, limiting Knowshon Moreno to just 34 yards on nine carries. Matthew Stafford completed a career-high 24 passes for the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs donned their black jerseys for the third time and ESPN’s College Gameday visited Athens for the first time since 1998.
Matthew Stafford passed for a career-best 310 yards, Knowshon Moreno ran for 101 yards and No. 10 Georgia beat Tennessee 26-14 at Sanford Stadium before a sellout crowd of 92,746 and a CBS national television audience. Freshman kicker Blair Walsh kicked four field goals. His final one came after a 17-play drive consumed 10:55 in the final quarter. Georgia gained 458 yards on 81 plays and held Tennessee to 209 yards on 45 plays. Tennessee netted only one yard on the ground. Stafford was 25-for-36 and a touchdown. Georgia didn’t punt in the first half and gained 273 yards, including 211 passing by Stafford. Leading 13-7, the Bulldogs took the ball on their 3 with 2:17 left in the first half after freshman Richard Samuel bobbled a kickoff. When Georgia faced a third-and-8 play, Tennessee called a time-out in hopes of getting the ball back in good field position. Instead, Stafford passed to Moreno for 14 yards to spark a 97-yard touchdown drive. Tennessee was hurt by two personal foul penalties on Georgia’s long drive. Safety Demetrice Morley drew a helmet-to-helmet penalty for his hit on receiver Mohamed Massaquoi, knocking Massaquoi out of the game for a few plays. Cornerback DeAngelo Willingmam was called for a late hit on receiver Demiko Goodman on the Vols’ sideline after Goodman’s 17-yard reception. Willingham’s penalty gave Georgia a first down at the Tennessee 7 with 26 seconds left. On third down from the 9, Stafford passed to an open Massaquoi for the touchdown and a 20-7 lead. Massaquoi had five catches for 103 yards.

OPPONENTS/ REVIEW
Darryl Gamble returned two interceptions for touchdowns including one on the game’s first play as No. 9 Georgia defeated 11th-ranked LSU 52-38 in front of 92,904 at Tiger Stadium and a CBS national television audience. Knowshon Moreno’s 68-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter gave the Bulldogs (7-1, 4-1 SEC) a three-touchdown lead, and the Tigers (5-2, 3-2) would never get closer than 14 points for the remainder of the game. Moreno finished with 163 yards on the ground. Georgia had the edge at quarterback with Matthew Stafford calmly delivering clutch throws including a 49-yard touchdown to A.J. Green while the Tigers brought heavy pressure on third-and-10. Stafford was 17-of-26 for 249 yards and two touchdowns passing, and also ran for a 7-yard score in the fourth quarter while improving to 24-5 as a starter. After the Bulldogs took an early 7-0 lead on Gamble’s first interception, LSU tied the score on the ensuing drive, Georgia marched 78 yards to take a 14-7 lead, and Moreno ran for 47 yards on the first play of Georgia’s next drive, setting up a touchdown on a five-yard fade that Stafford and receiver Kenneth Harris made look easy for a 21-7 lead. Mark Richt improved his record in opponent’s stadiums to 28-4.
2009 PLAYERS
Georgia got two touchdown passes from quarterback Matthew Stafford and a rushing touchdown from tailback Knowshon Moreno to hold off Vanderbilt 24-14 at Sanford Satdium in front of a sellout crowd of 92,746 and a Raycom Sports television audience. The Bulldogs (6-1, 3-1 SEC) put the game on ice with 17 seconds remaining as kicker Blair Walsh converted on a 40-yard field goal. Walsh also kicked the three extra points for the Bulldogs. Stafford passed for 194 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown to receiver A.J. Green and a 9-yard scoring strike to receiver Mohamed Massaquoi. Green finished with 132 yards receiving, including a 49-yarder to set up his touchdown. He became the first Bulldog to record multiple 100-yard receiving games since Reggie Brown and Fred Gibson in 2004. Moreno had an 11-yard touchdown run for the Bulldogs. He ended the game with a season-high 172 yards on 23 carries and became the 13th Bulldog in school history to eclipse 2,000 yards for his career. The touchdowns by Green and Massaquoi were set up by interceptions from safety Reshad Jones and linebacker Darius Dewberry, respectively. The Bulldogs twice built 14-point leads and had a commanding 425245 advantage in total yards. Vanderbilt’s touchdowns both came on scoring passes from quarterback Mackenzi Adams to receiver Jamie Graham. A pair of pass interference penalties set up Vanderbilt’s first touchdown. Trailing 21-14, the Commodores turned the ball over on downs at their own 26 with 2:08 remaining and lost their second straight to fall to 5-2 and 3-2.

Tim Tebow accounted for five touchdowns, Percy Harvin scored twice and the revenge-minded Gators defeated the Bulldogs 49-10 in front of 84, 649 fans at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium and a national television audience on CBS. Florida (7-1, 5-1) held Knowshon Moreno to 65 yards, took advantage of Georgia’s numerous mistakes and avenged last year’s 42-30 lossto the Bulldogs (7-2, 4-2). Matthew Stafford was 18-of-33 for 265 yards, with three interceptions. He was sacked twice. The Gators won for the 16th time in the last 19 meetings, and this one was one of the most lopsided of all the affairs. Florida’s largest margin of victory in the series was a 47-7 win in 1996. Tebow was 10-of-13 passing for 154 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for three more. He also ran 12 times for 39 yards. Harvin ran four times for 37 yards and caught three passes for another 52. By the time it was over, it was the biggest margin of defeat in Mark Richt’s eight-year career as Georgia coach. A big play in the first half came when Prince Miller intercepted a pass from Tebow, but the play was nullified by defensive end Jarius Wynn’s personal foul. The penalty gave Florida a first down deep in Georgia territory and set up Harvin’s 13-yard TD run. Florida led 14-3 at the half and then used a 21-point third quarter to pull away for good.
Matthew Stafford’s 11-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green with 1:54 left put Georgia ahead, and Demarcus Dobbs intercepted a Randall Cobb pass with 46 seconds left as the Bulldogs held on to defeat Kentucky, 42-38, in front of 70,626 fans at Commonwealth Stadium and a regional television audience on Raycom Sports. Georgia (8-2, 5-2 SEC) jumped out to an early 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter, but the Wildcats (6-4, 2-4) responded with a pair of touchdown drives to knot the score. The Bulldogs scored on the ensuing drive to take a 21-14 advantage at halftime. After a Lones Seiber kick to pull the Wildcats to within 21-17 early in the third quarter, Kentucky blocked a punt that set up a nin-yard touchdown to give them a 24-21 lead. However, Georgia responded with an 8-play, 80-yard touchdown drive to reclaim a 28-24 edge. The two teams continued to trade touchdowns until Stafford found Green in the corner of the endzone on third-and-goal from the Kentucky 11 to finally put the Bulldogs ahead for good. The drive was set up by a 78-yard pass to Mohamed Massaquoi on the first play of the drive. Kentucky marched 50 yards on its final drive of the game, but Dobbs snared a screen pass at Georgia’s 18-yard line to seal the win for Georgia. Stafford finished with a career-high 376 yards, and Massaquoi had a career-high eight catches for 191 yards.

The No. 18 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets snapped a seven-year losing streak to No. 13 Georgia with a 45-42 victory before a CBS national television audience and 92,746 fans at a rainy Sanford Stadium. Georgia Tech running back Roddy Jones rushed for a career-best 214 yards, including a decisive 54-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 24-of-39 for a careerhigh 407 yards and a school-record tying five touchdowns. He became the third quarterback in school history to throw five TDs in game. David Greene and D.J. Shockley also did it. Bulldog senior Mohamed Massaquoi had a career-high 11 receptions for 180 yards. Georgia’s Knowshon Moreno rushed for 94 yards and scored on a 32-yard run. After building a 28-12 halftime lead, the Bulldogs (9-3) fell victim to Georgia Tech’s triple-option offense, which piled up 409 yards on the ground. On the first play in the second half, Dwyer broke off a 60-yard touchdown run, then got in on the two-point conversion that made it 2820. Jones, a redshirt freshman, averaged 16.5 yards per carry and scored twice, including the long run that gave Georgia Tech a 45-35 lead with 7:13 remaining. Stafford added a 12-yard scoring pass to A.J. Green with 4:04 remaining, but the Bulldogs comeback fell short.

Redshirt sophomore Knowshon Moreno rushed for 134 yards and caught a pass for a touchdown as No. 13 Georgia held off upset-minded Auburn for a 17-13 victory in front of 87,451 fans at Jordan-Hare Stadium and a Raycom regional audience. The Bulldogs (9-2, 6-2) went ahead for good with 8:24 to play on a 17-yard pass from Matthew Stafford to A.J. Green and then stopped two late Auburn drives to seal the win. The final chance for Auburn (5-6, 2-5) came on a fourth-and-1 play from the Georgia 14 when quarterback Kodi Burns overthrew Ben Tate in the end zone with one second remaining. Stafford completed 15 of 24 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns. Stafford drove Georgia 60 yards in six plays for the winning touchdown. Auburn had taken the lead with 11:05 left after grinding out an 11-play, 90-yard drive. Auburn went for it on fourth-and-1 at its 20 and Burns converted with a 1-yard sneak. Auburn’s touchdown came on a winding 35yard run by Mario Fannin.The drive took up almost six minutes of the third and fourth quarters. It started after Georgia had extended its lead to 10-6 at 1:48 in the third quarter on a 27-yard field goal by Blair Walsh. Georgia’s win gave the Bulldogs a 54-50-8 lead in the Deep South’s oldest rivalry that began in 1892. After 112 games, Georgia has outscored Auburn by 49 points. Georgia started the game fast on a cool, cloudy day, as Moreno rushed for 11 yards over left tackle on the first play from scrimmage and the Bulldogs took off on an 80-play drive from their own 17 to the Auburn 3. But it ended there when Auburn’s Tez Doolittle blocked a field goal attempt. The Bulldogs took a 7-6 halftime lead thanks to Moreno, who took a screen pass from Stafford and outran much of the Auburn defense down the left sideline for a touchdown with 3:08 to play in the half.

#19 MICHIGAN STATE
Jan. 1, 2009 • Capital One Bowl • Orlando, Fla. Quarterback Matthew Stafford threw three touchdown passes in the final 18 minutes against No. 18 Michigan State, hitting Knowshon Moreno for the clinching score in the 15th-ranked Bulldogs’ 24-12 Capital One Bowl victory in front of 59,681 fans and an ABC national television audience. Ranked No. 1 by The Associated Press to start the season, the Bulldogs (10-3) gave coach Mark Richt his sixth bowl win in eight tries and put a happy ending on a season that didn’t live up to expectations. The first half was ugly for Stafford, projected to be an early first-round NFL draft pick, and Georgia. He was just 6-for-14 and an interception in the first half and Michigan State (9-4) led 6-3. In the second half, he looked more like the quarterback NFL teams covet. He completed 14 of his final 17 throws, including three TD passes. Stafford started the comeback by directing a 10-play, 96-yard drive midway through the third quarter. He went 6-for-6 for 92 yards and capped it with 35-yard touchdown toss to Michael Moore. Stafford and Aron White hooked up on a 21-yard TD toss with 9 seconds left in the third quarter to put Georgia up 17-6. Stafford was picked as the game’s MVP, completing his performance by showing a nice touch in threading a 21-yard TD pass to Moreno late in the fourth quarter. Stafford set a single-season school record with 25 touchdown passes. The Bulldogs were able to make Michigan State quarterback Brian Hoyer hurry his throws. Hoyer completed 16 of 31 passes for 159 yards with an interception. He threw 21 yards to Mark Dell on fourth-and-22 late in the fourth quarter, and followed that with an interception in the final 40 seconds. Georgia 3 Michigan State 3

What Parents Say
“Academically, Matthew enjoyed that part of his experience at Georgia. Athletically, he loved the time he had on the team. He made great friends and was very happy with the whole coaching staff. He loved Athens, especially with his sister Page also attending UGA.”
Margaret Stafford
What Parents Say
“Shon was surrounded by fantastic people at Georgia. The people at Georgia helped take care of him, and he made friends that he will have for years to come. The coaches were just fantastic. He had a great rapport with them, and I’m happy that he found coaches like that to be in his life. Shon really, really liked it at Georgia.”
Mildred McQueen
“I am so grateful that Mohamed got the opportunity to go to Georgia, where he became a better citizen and a better man. I know that he was at a school where the coaches and teachers guided him in a way that was right. Everything I heard from Mohamed was always positive, and as a parent that made me feel good.”
“It was a wonderful experience to watch Ron, Champ and Boss represent the University of Georgia as student-athletes with dignity and pride and become positive men in today’s society. I deemed it an honor to have worn the red and black among the fans, faculty and coaching staffs.”
“The UGA Football program provided opportunities for Matt and Jon to develop spiritually, socially, academically and physically. Our eight-plus years as a part of the program were wonderful and positive for our family.”
The Stinchcomb Family
Elaine Bailey
Sarah Gaye
“UGA is exceeding our expectations academically as well as athletically. As parents of a student-athlete, we are very pleased with the coaching staff and administration. Brandon is enjoying his experience in Athens. We look forward to his continued growth on and off the field.”
Alfred, Lisa, and Alfred Boykin Jr.
“Surrounded by extraordinary people in both the athletic and academic departments, Shaun has excelled on and off the field athletically, academically and spiritually. It has been a pleasure and privilege to watch his development at the University of Georgia. Shaun feels very much at home at the University of Georgia and is building friendships that will surely last a lifetime. We could not be more pleased with his development as both a man and student-athlete.”
“We are grateful that Joe has been able to attend the university of his dreams. Not only has he received an excellent education, he has had the opportunity to represent one of this country's premier football programs. The coaches and staff at Georgia have cared for Joe, nurturing and guiding him toward becoming a better man and citizen. We could not be more thankful and proud.”
“We have always tried to teach Tavarres to be a good person and a strong man, with good character, high morals, and Christian beliefs. The more time we spent with Coach Richt and the rest of the UGA football staff, we found that they shared our beliefs as well. We are lucky to have such good men and a great university teaching our son.”
“As parents of a student-athlete, we couldn’t ask for a better university to meet our son’s needs. The staff at UGA — coaches, counselors, trainers, administration — exceeded our expectations. We felt very comfortable leaving our son in their care.”
“Bottom line, Kade is pleased with the whole program. He enjoys everything about being on the football team, including the camaraderie with the other guys and the coaching staff. All of his expectations about going to school at Georgia have been met.”

What the Pros Say
What the Pros Say Champ Bailey
Quentin Moses
Terrell Davis Benjamin Watson
Richard Seymour Herschel Walker
“I don’t believe there is any better opportunity than to have the chance to become a Georgia Bulldog. Georgia is a great school with outstanding tradition in both athletics and academics.” Herschel Walker, TB 1982 Heisman Trophy Winner 1999 College Football Hall of Fame Inductee
“Playing at Georgia made all the difference in my life. Bulldog fans are the best in college football, and you can feel the electricity every time there is a home game. I really felt the coaches and all of the great athletes I played with really prepared me for the NFL and life after football. When people ask me what is the key to my success, I always point to my days as a Georgia Bulldog and the support I received from the University.” Hines Ward, WR Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl XL MVP
Hines Ward
“I’m always talking about Georgia in the locker room and what a great experience I had there. I met a lot of players, students, and coaches who are now life-long friends during my time at UGA. I’d do it all again if I had the chance. I have a son now and if I could send him to any school it would definitely be Georgia.” Richard Seymour, DT New England Patriots
“Being from Athens, I knew that everybody bleeds red and black, but to go to school and have a chance to play the biggest sport at Georgia was definitely a blessing. I was able to establish the foundation for my career on and off the field with Coach Richt and the coaching staff. The coaches at Georgia push you to your limit, but I know now that’s my backbone. The NFL is a ‘show-me’ league, but I don't think anything can happen to me in the NFL that I can’t handle because I came from such a structured college program.”
“One of the greatest feelings in my athletic career was putting on the Red and Black and running onto the field ‘between the hedges.’ Being a first round draft choice and playing in the NFL on Sundays was something I dreamed about all my life. Being a Georgia Bulldog was a big part of making that dream come true.”
“Playing at Georgia was both an honor and a privilege. Donning the Red and Black is a feeling I will never forget. There’s nothing better than stepping onto the field in front of 92,000 screaming fans at Sanford Stadium. My time at Georgia and the coaching of Rodney Garner prepared me well for the NFL experience.” Marcus Stroud, DT Buffalo Bills
“The University of Georgia provided me the unique combination of elite competition and quality education. My experience there not only prepared me for the NFL, but more importantly it introduced me to a network of wonderful people who have been and will continue to be instrumental in my life. As Terry College graduates, my wife Kirsten and I are both proud to be Bulldogs.”
“Georgia has the excitement of big time college football. Playing for the Bulldogs helped me prepare for the many challenges I’ve encountered in the NFL. I loved my time at Georgia.”
“My experiences at Georgia were really good. The hard work the University of Georgia requires is outstanding and prepares you mentally as well as physically for the National Football League. The coaching staff does an excellent job of getting guys ready to go to the next level.”

Strength & Conditioning
Strength & Conditioning
“The strong shall survive…”
T
hat is one of the mottos used by UGA strength and conditioning coordinator Dave Van Halanger and his staff in the weight room. Under Van
Halanger’s guidance, the Bulldogs have a year-round program to ensure that the players are in peak physical condition during the season. Georgia’s weight room features the most progressive equipment in the nation. Offering words of encouragement and guidance, Van Halanger and his staff — which includes full-time assistants Keith Gray and Clay Walker — tailor a customer-made weight program specific to each student-athlete’s needs and goals. Their offices are conveniently located within the weight room, so they are close to the action at all times. Another integral part of the program is the Leon Farmer Award. Given in honor of Athens businessman Leon Farmer, who was a major contributor in the funding of the Butts-Mehre expansion, the award is presented annually to the player whose dedication to the strength and conditioning program results in a significant contribution to the football team.

Georgia Tradition
Georgia Tradition
Tradition: “The handing down of beliefs, legends, and customs from generation to generation.” Georgia played its first football game in 1892. Since that time the Bulldogs have built the tradition that is the standard in college football. Through the years, hundreds of young men of great character have accepted the challenge and come to Athens to become part of that tradition. They have become a part of the legends of the past, and the legends that are molding the future.

ACADEMIC HONORS PROGRAM G e o r g i a ’s two-time AllAmerica and Academic All-America roverback Terry Hoage probably best characterized the ideal of the student-athlete. For his achievements both on and off the field, Hoage became Georgia’s first recipient of the NCAA Top VI Award at the NCAA convention in January, 1984. The Top Six Award is presented annually to student-athletes who have achieved athletic success, shown leadership qualities and displayed academic prowess. He set a school record with 12 interceptions during the 1982 season. He placed fifth in the 1983 Heisman Trophy balloting — the highest finish ever for a defensive back at that time.
One of the the most decorated players in Georgia football history, Matt Stinchcomb, was honored with the 1998 N C A A To p Eight Award. The Top VIII Award is presented annually to eight student-athletes for their achievement in athletics, academics, and leadership. A twotime All-America OT, two time Academic All-America, and national Academic All-American of the Year in 1998, Stinchcomb also was a twotime member of the AFCA Good Works Team recognizing outstanding community service. A finalist for the Rotary Lombardi Award, he received post-graduate scholarships from the NCAA, National Football Foundation, and won the Burger King Scholar-Athlete of the Year for Division 1-A. He graduated with a 3.96 grade point average in business.
Following in the footsteps of his older brother Matt, Bulldog lineman Jon Stinchcomb became the third Georgia football player to receive the prestigious NCAA Top VIII Award, presented to eight student-athletes for accomplishments in both academics and athletics as well as character and leadership. A semifinalist for the 2002 Lombardi Award, Stinchcomb was named to the Walter Camp All-America team and the Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America squad. A first-team AllSoutheastern Conference selection by the AP and the SEC Coaches, he anchored the Bulldog line in leading Georgia to a record-setting 13-1 record, SEC title and Sugar Bowl victory. He was the male student-athlete representative to the University's athletics board of directors. He held a 3.75 grade point average in microbiology.
Billy Payne, president and CEO of the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games, (ACOG) received the Theodore Roosevelt Award – the NCAA's highest honor – during the annual convention in January, 1997. The award is presented annually to a distinguished citizen who is a former college athlete and has exemplified the ideals and purposes of college athletics by demonstrating a continuing interest and concern for physical fitness and sport. Payne, a three-year letterman for the Bulldogs (1966-68), graduated from Georgia in 1969 and earned his law degree from the University in 1973. After a successful law practice in Atlanta, he began his work of bringing the Olympic Games to Atlanta in 1988.
NCAA SILVER ANNIVERSARY AWARD
(presented to former student-athletes, on the 25th anniversary of their senior year, who have distinguished themselves in their chosen career field)
Fran Tarkenton, All-America quarterback at Georgia and All-Pro with both the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants of the NFL, became the Bulldogs’ first recipient of the prestigious NCAA Silver Anniversary Award in 1986. A native of Athens who first played in Sanford Stadium as part of the Athens YMCA’s youth games prior to Bulldog contests, Tarkenton was a two-time first-team All-Southeastern Confernce selection and led Georgia to the 1959 SEC Championship. After throwing four touchdowns in his first NFL game, Tarkenton enjoyed an illustrious 18-year pro career and was named the league MVP in 1975. When he retired from the NFL in 1978, Tarkenton was the league’s all-time leader in passing attempts (6,467) completions (3,686), yardage (47,003) and touchdowns (342). Vikings coach Bud Grant said Tarkenton was ‘‘the greatest quarterback ever to play the game.’’ The same year Tarkenton received the NCAA’s Silver Anniversary Award, he was also inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. The following year, 1987, Tarkenton was enshrined into the College Football Hall of Fame as well.

HISTORY
Former University of Georgia AllAmerica center Dr. Tom Lyons, director of the Center for Women’s Care and Reproductive Surgery in Atlanta, was one of six selected nationally to receive the 1996 award. Lyons was chosen to present the acceptance response in behalf of all Silver Anniversary winners at the 1996 NCAA convention, a group which included football legends Joe Theisman of Notre Dame and Jack Youngblood of Florida and track great Marty Liquori of Villanova. Since beginning his medical practice full time, Lyons has become one of the nation’s leading physicians in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. A two-time All-America and All-SEC lineman (1969 and ’70), Lyons was awarded the prestigious NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship and National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame Post-Graduate Fellowship. He was a six-year starter with the NFL’s Denver Broncos, attending medical school and completed his internship and residency at the University of Colorado during his NFL playing career.

TRADITIONS The Chapel Bell
The Arch
The ringing of the chapel bell after a Georgia victory is a tradition that contin ues even though freshmen are no longer ordered to do the chore. In the 1890’s, the playing field was located only yards from the Chapel and first year students were compelled to ring the bell until midnight in celebration of a Bulldog victory. To day, students, alumni, and townspeople still rush to the Chapel to ring the bell after a gridiron victory.
The historic Arch which sits on the edge of North campus was installed in 1864. For years, freshmen were forbidden to walk under the Arch. Violators risked punishment from upper classmen. Once rigidly enforced, the tradition of hazing of freshmen became passe’. However, many freshmen, learning of the tradition during orientation or from other sources, still choose to honor the century-old tradition.
The "G"
In 1963 after becoming the Bulldogs’ Head Football Coach, Vince Dooley redesigned the football uniform choosing a red helmet with a black “G” on a white background as the domi nate feature of the new uniform for the 1964 season. He discussed with his staff that a forward-looking “G” would be an appropriate emblem for the helmet of the Georgia team. Dooley had just hired John Donaldson, former Georgia player from 1945 to 1948, as backfield coach. John was keen on the idea of a new image and volunteered his wife, Anne, who had a BFA in commercial art from UGA to design a logo for the new Georgia helmet with the general specifications Dooley had outlined. Dooley accepted Anne’s original “G” which fit his vision for a forward look to Georgia’s new emblem. Since the Georgia “G” though different in design and color was similar to Green Bay’s “G”, Coach Dooley thought it best to clear the use of Georgia’s new emblem with the NFL team. Athletic Director Joel Eaves called for permission which was granted. However, since its inception in 1961, the Green Bay “G” has been redesigned several times and now looks like Georgia’s original 1964 “G.” Georgia is proud that the Packers apparently liked the special nuances of the Bulldogs’ forward-looking “G.” Georgia’s oval “G”, eventually replacing Georgia’s old block “G” as the official UGA symbol, has stood the test of time. It made its first appearance in the opening game in 1964 and was an immediate hit with the Georgia fans, especially after Dooley’s first three teams were so successful—highlighted by the 1966 SEC Championship.
2009 GEORGIA BULLDOGS
‘‘Bulldogs’’
140
‘‘Glory, Glory’’
Among the University’s oldest and most lasting tradi tions is the school fight song, ‘‘Glory, Glory’’ which is sung to the tune of ‘‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic.’’ It was sung at games as early as the 1890’s, but arranged in its present form by Georgia’s immortal musiciancomposer Hugh Hodgson in 1915. There have been many Bulldog songs through the years and at least two collec tions dating back to 1909 have been published, but none have enjoyed more acceptance than ‘‘Glory, Glory.’’
‘‘How ‘Bout Them Dogs’’
This is a slogan of recent vintage, but one that has become a battle cry of Bulldog fans probably because of its obvi ous grammatical slur. It first surfaced during the mid to late 1970’s especially during the 1978 season when the Bulldogs posted several remarkable, come-from-behind victories. It gained national attention and exposure when Georgia won the national championship in 1980. A major wire-service used the phrase in its story of Georgia’s victory over Notre Dame and many newspapers picked it up in glaring headlines across the country proclaiming ‘‘How ‘Bout Them Dogs!’’
Many oldtimers say Georgia acquired the nickname, ‘‘Bulldogs,’’ because of the strong ties with Yale whose nickname is Bulldogs. Georgia’s first president, Abraham Baldwin, was a Yale man and the early buildings on campus were designed from blueprints of the same building at Yale. But on Nov. 3, 1920, Morgan Blake of the ATLANTA JOURNAL wrote about school nicknames and said ‘‘The Georgia ‘Bulldogs’ would sound good because there is a certain dignity about a bulldog, as well as ferocity.’’ After a 0-0 tie with Virginia in Charlottesville on Nov. 6, 1920, ATLANTA CONSTITUTION writer Cliff Wheatley used the name ‘‘Bulldogs’’ in his story five times. The name has been used ever since.
‘‘Silver Britches’’
Silver Britches were an innovation of Coach Wally Butts, who took over as head coach in 1939. The handsome pants, compli mented by a bright red jersey, made for a striking uniform. Through the years, fans referred to the Bulldogs’ silver britches in their chants and on banners, but the phrase really caught on in the early fifties with a cheer, banners, and colorful vests that proclaimed ‘‘Go, You Silver Britches.’’ Coach Vince Dooley re-designed the uniform when he came in 1964 and used white pants; however, he re-instituted the silver britches in 1980 just prior to what turned out to be Georgia’s national champion ship season.
2009 MEDIA GUIDE
‘‘Between The Hedges’’
A reference to Sanford Stadium that dates back to the early 1930’s. The famous Chinese privet hedges that surround San ford’s playing field were only one foot high when the stadium was dedicated in 1929 and were protected by a wooden fence. It was natural for a clever sports writer, referring to an upcoming home game, to observe ‘‘that the Bulldogs will have their opponent ‘between the hedges.’’ At least one old-timer says the phrase was first coined by the legendary Atlanta sportswriter Grantland Rice.

GEORGIA'S ATTENDANCE RECORD

SANFORD STADIUM Nothing like being "Between the Hedges" at Georgia's Sanford Stadium With a $25 million expansion completed in 2003 and another $8 million in 2004, Sanford Stadium added a second upper deck on the north side and 27 new north side SkySuites bringing the new stadium capacity to 92,746--the sixth largest on-campus stadium in the country. Named for the late Dr. S. V. Sanford, former president of the University and Chancellor of the University system, Georgia's Sanford Stadium celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2004. An overflow crowd of 30,000 saw the stadium's first game on October 12, 1929, when Yale University made its only trip South. Georgia won the now famous game when a young sophomore end from Macon, Vernon "Catfish" Smith, scored all 15 of the Bulldogs' points. Final score, Georgia 15, Yale 0. Through the years, the stadium has experienced various expansion
projects. In 1940, lights were added to the field level paving the way to the first Sanford Stadium night game, a 7-7 tie between Georgia and Kentucky on October 26, 1940. Eventually, the East end of the stadium was enclosed, more lights added, and the capacity increased to 82,122. The 1991 project cost the University Athletic Association $3.7 million and enclosed the West end. The price tag was rather hefty, considering that the original price to build the stadium was a mere $360,000. Legendary Sanford Stadium added yet another chapter to its history by hosting the medal round of the 1996 Olympic men's and women's soccer competition watched via television by over 3 billion people around the world.

HISTORY
DR. STEADMAN V. SANFORD Born August 20, 1871, Dr. Steadman Vincent Sanford joined the Georgia faculty in 1903 and instantly became one of the University's most popular people. He founded the Henry W. Grady School of Journalism in 1921, served as University Dean from 1927-32, and held the post of University president and chancellor until 1935 when he was named chancellor of the entire University System of Georgia. He also held the position of faculty chairman of athletics while on the UGA faculty. He was the force behind the construction of Sanford Stadium in 1929 and was termed many times as "the best friend of athletics." He was largely responsible for persuading the Bulldogs of Yale to make their first trip ever south of the Mason-Dixon line to play the dedication game of Sanford Stadium in 1929. He died September 15, 1945.

For 60 years, Thanksgiving Day was a special day in the history of the Georgia - Georgia Tech rivalry. It was on that day that the Georgia and Georgia Tech freshman football teams, and in later years the junior varsity teams, met at Tech’s Grant Field. The game, played from 1933 to ’93, annually benefited the Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital and became a nationally-recognized event. During those years, freshmen were ineligible and each school played an annual freshman or junior varsity schedule. As such, many who would become the greatest players for both schools were showcased in this annual game. Among the many who played in the annual classic were legendary Georgia players like Fran Tarkenton, Bill Stanfill, Frank Sinkwich, and Charley Trippi and Tech greats like Ray Beck, Buck Martin, Pepper Rodgers and Kim King. The charity game had its origin in 1930 when teams representing the northern and southern divisions of the old Southern Conference played an all- star game. In 1933, Georgia coach H.J. Stegeman and Tech coach William Alexander convinced a group of Atlanta businessmen to serve on a committee for the purpose of selling tickets to a freshman game between the two schools. The proceeds were designated to Scottish Rite. The Governor’s Cup was presented each year to the winning team. The game became a southern tradition and prospered for decades. However, scholarship and roster limitations caused discontinuation of the game in 1993; but in 1994, a “Legends Game” was held to maintain the tradition of the game. The NCAA, at the schools’ request, agreed to recognize the varsity rivalry and beginning in 1995, the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta annually presents the Governor’s Cup to the winning team.

FORMER HEAD COACHES Dr. Charles Herty (Georgia), 1892
was Georgia’s first coach, but in those days he was referred to as the “trainer.” Commonly known as the father of Georgia football, he was a member of the University’s faculty working as a professor in the chemistry department. Herty was a graduate of Georgia and received his Ph.D. at John Hopkins University. While at the Baltimore school he saw a different version of the sport of Rugby, referred to as football. Herty returned to Athens in the fall of 1891 as a member of the faculty. He gathered some students and told them of the games that he had seen. Herty initiated the formation of a team by helping the students prepare a field of play or “gridiron”. The University’s Glee Club contributed the princely sum of $50.00 to finance the removal of rocks and the filling of holes on the field. Goal posts were set up and Herty became the first coach of a Georgia football team. Herty later earned national fame as a scientist in the development of the turpentine and pine pulpwood industry. Georgia’s football field was later renamed in his honor.
Ernest Brown (Georgia), 1893
was a Georgia graduate student who volunteered to coach the Bulldogs during the 1893 season. Brown led the Bulldogs to a 2-2-1 season, and also played halfback that season.
Robert Winston (Georgia), 1894
2009 GEORGIA BULLDOGS
was an Englishman and former Rugby player and coach who had coached Yale, Amherst, Rochester and Syracuse prior to arriving in Athens in the fall of 1894. Winston was Georgia’s first “paid coach” and was known to put Georgia’s players through some rigorous training prior to the season. He coached Georgia to a 10-8 win over Auburn and four other victories during that 5-1-0 season.
172
Glen “Pop” Warner (Cornell), 1895-1896
is a name that is synonymous with the game of football . Warner, a Cornell graduate, came to Athens in September of 1895. He was signed to a $34-a-week salary for ten weeks in his first season and received an increase to $40 for his second season. He coached the Bulldogs, then known as the Red and Black, for two seasons, and led Georgia to one of its three undefeated seasons—4-0 in 1896. Warner later went on to coach at the Carlisle Indian School, where he coached the legendary Jim Thorpe, and later at Pittsburgh and Stanford.
2009 MEDIA GUIDE
Charles McCarthy (Brown), 1897-1898
a Brown University graduate, became Georgia’s fifth head football coach andwas almost the school’s last. McCarthy inherited a fine Georgia team from Warner, including an outstanding quarterback named Richard “Von” Gammon. Gammon was critically injured in a game against Virginia, and died later that day. Although many called for the abolishment of football, the sport survived after a plea to state government officials by Gammon’s mother. In 1898, with football safe from politically ambitious humanitarians, McCarthy coached the Georgia squad to victories over Tech and Vanderbilt, but suffered a controversial and disputed 18-17 loss to Auburn.
Gordon Saussy (Cornell), 1899
was a former Cornell player who came to Athens from Savannah and at the age of 26, coached Georgia for only a single season. During the 1899 season his Bulldogs defeated both Georgia Tech and Clemson and played Auburn to a controversial 0-0 tie. The Tigers led, 11-6 with a minute to play when the contest was disrupted by an unruly mob that prevented the official conclusion of the game. Saussy went on to become Mayor of Savannah and Chairman of the State of Georgia Bicentennial Celebration (1933) bringing President Roosevelt to Savannah. He was awarded the first Lucas Trophy by the City of Savannah and later brought o Savannah Dr. Charles Herty, the father of pulp paper production and Georgia's first coach. Dr. Herty was living in Saussy's home when he passed away.
E.E. Jones (Princeton), 1900
succeeded Saussy at the helm of Georgia’s program, but didn’t fare much better. He was a Princeton graduate that came to Athens on the recommendation of university benefactor Arthur Poe. His team finished 2-4, lacked offensive output, and was outscored 159 to 28 in their six contests.
Billy Reynolds (Princeton), 1901-1902
came to the University from the University of North Carolina where he had coached the previous four years. Reynolds, a Princeton graduate like his predecessor, inherited a below average team, but in two seasons he was able to turn the Georgia program around. After a woeful 1-5-2 season in 1901, his 1902 squad went 4-2-1, with victories over Alabama and Auburn.
M.M. Dickinson (Georgia), 1903, 1905
came to the University at the turn of the century as a transfer from Mercer University. While at Georgia he played football and baseball on the 1900, 1901 and 1902 teams. In football he was a halfback and baseball a catcher. He was captain of the 1901 baseball team. After graduation he coached both sports at the University in 1903, leading the football team to a 3-4 record with wins over Tech and Auburn. He played professional baseball in the Texas League in 1904 and returned to Athens in 1905 to coach football and baseball. The 1905 team won only one game against Dahlonega, 16-12, and lost five. Dickinson left Athens in 1905 and entered the newspaper business, where he worked until his death in 1950.
Charles A. Barnard (Harvard), 1904 Bostonian, was none too popular with his players and became more and more unpopular to fans as his team lost five consecutive games after their opening 52-0 win over Florida.
W.S. “Bull” Whitney (Syracuse), 1906-1907
was a Syracuse graduate that came to the University in 1906 from North Carolina A & M where he had gone undefeated the previous season. He did not achieve the same success, however. During the 1906 season, the forward pass was legalized. Whitney tried to take advantage of this new play, but it was an errant pass that led to Georgia’s first defeat of that season. His 1906 team went 2-4-1 and was part of the “Ringer” controversy in the 1907 Tech game that forced his vacating the coaching duties to interim coach Branch Bocock who coached the final three games of that season. Whitney was very superstitious and would not reveal his starting lineup until just before kickoff.
Branch Bocock (Georgetown), 1908
was a Georgetown graduate and former player who took the reins of the Georgia program after Whitney. Bocock worked in the law office of Judge Hamilton McWhorter, and it was McWhorter that allowed Bocock to leave the office in the afternoons to train the Georgia team. Bocock led Georgia to a 5-2-1 record in 1908. Perhaps his biggest coaching win was when his Georgia team upset Auburn 6-0 in 1907 when he was the interim coach after Whitney left Georgia after the Tech game.
J. Coulter and Frank Dobson (Brown), 1909
served almost as “co-coaches” of the Georgia team in 1909. Coulter, a Brown University graduate, had no previous head coaching experience and was unable to get the Georgia offense in gear. So he hired Frank Dobson, a Roanoke, Virginia, native who had assisted John W. Heisman at Tech. He inserted several trick plays into the Georgia offense, and they became the talk of Athens, but that still didn’t prevent the Red and Black from going 1-4-2. Dobson moved on to Clemson in 1910, where he was Clemson’s first paid football coach and also the school’s baseball and first basketball coach.
W.A. Cunningham (Vanderbilt), 1910-1919
gave the Georgia program what it had so desperately needed at that juncture in its history— continuity and a winner. Until Cunningham, a Vanderbilt graduate, arrived in Athens, the Georgia coaching post had been held by 13 coaches in 18 years. Cunningham was hired by Dr. Steadman Vincent Sanford and remained coach for nine years.
FORMER HEAD COACHES
Herman J. Stegeman (Chicago), 1920-1922
Wally Butts (Mercer), 1939-1960
HISTORY
georgiadogs.com
ACADEMICS
came to the University as an assistant under one year head coach Joel Hunt and remained for 22 years at the head of Georgia’s program. He was known as the 'Little Round Man' to most of the fans, but as a bona fide coaching genius to others in the profession. He led the Bulldogs to previously unparalleled success with six bowl appearances, four SEC championships, 140 victories and an undefeated season in 1946. He was known as an advocate of the passing game and brought that to the forefront of offensive thinking in Southern collegiate play. He coached a Heisman winner (Frank Sinkwich, 1942), a Maxwell award winner (Charley Trippi, 1946), and the “Peerless Pilot” Francis Tarkenton. Butts resigned in 1960, but stayed on at Georgia as Athletic Director until his retirement in 1963. He later went on to a highly-successful career in the insurance business until his death in 1973. The Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall on the University of Georgia campus is named in his honor.
is the most successful coach in Georgia history. He guided the Bulldogs to over 200 victories in a quarter century at the helm of the Georgia program and is one of the best known and most highly regarded coaches in the country. He was hired in January 1964 by then Athletic Director Joel Eaves to bring life back to the Georgia program and succeeded beyond all expectations. His teams became known for their 00 outstanding toughness, sound fundamentals, and finding a way to win en route to a career record of 201-77-10. He became only the ninth coach in NCAA Division I history to win over 200 games. The Bulldogs won one national championship (1980) and six SEC Championships under his direction. He took his teams to 20 Bowl games and coached a Heisman Trophy winner (Herschel Walker, 1982), a MaxwellAward Winner (Walker, 1982), an Outland Award Winner (Bill Stanfill, 1968), 40 First Team All-Americans and 10 Academic All-Americans. He was named NCAA National Coach of the Year by every major poll in 1980 and by Chevrolet-WTBS in 1982. A former president of the American Football Coaches Association, Dooley was named SEC Coach of the Year seven times and NCAA District Coach of the Year on six occasions. During his tenure, seven of his players earned the prestigious National Football Foundation post-graduate scholarship and 11 former players received the equally-coveted NCAA post-graduate scholarship. Seventy-seven of his players earned Academic All-SEC recognition. He holds the unique distinction of being inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame in two different states, Georgia and Alabama. Dooley is a 1994 inductee into the National College Football Hall of Fame.
RECORD BOOK
came to the University in the winter of 1938 and remained for only one season. He was a star player at Texas A&M and won that school’s award for being the top athlete in 1929 when he scored 19 touchdowns for the Aggies. After serving an assistantship at LSU he came to Athens and guided the Bulldogs, captained by Quinton Lumpkin, to a 5-4-1 record in the 1938 season. Hunt never captured the favor of Georgia’s fans and alumni and left Athens after just one season. Perhaps Hunt’s greatest accomplishment was leaving a little-known line coach behind to succeed him, Wally Butts. Hunt went on to coach at the University of Wyoming and later returned to LSU.
Vince Dooley (Auburn), 1964-1988
OPPONENTS/ REVIEW
a captain and star on the 1911 Georgia team, returned to his alma mater in 1923 as its head football coach. Woodruff introduced the Notre Dame “Box 4” shift offense to southern football. He had witnessed the effectiveness of the offense when the Fightin’ Irish destroyed Tech 35-7 in 1923. He decided that he wanted to implement the same system at Georgia. Woodruff brought three of Rockne’s disciples, Frank Thomas and Harry Mehre, and later Jim Crowley to tutor the Georgia men about the finer points of the most popular offense of the day. Woodruff, an extremely successful businessman from Columbus drew a salary of only a dollar per year, and Georgia got more than its money’s worth from him. Woodruff’s 1927 squad went 9-1 and won the Southern Conference Championship, and he went on to compile a 32-16-1 record over his five seasons at the helm. His most notable accomplishment might be that he gave three legendary coaches their start in the profession: Thomas of Alabama, Mehre of Georgia and Ole Miss and Crowley of Michigan State and Fordham. The football practice fields behind the Butts-Mehre building are named for Woodruff.
Joel Hunt (Texas A&M), 1938
was a former Bulldog player and member of the undefeated 1946 team, and succeeded the legendary Butts by taking the reins of the Georgia program on January 6, 1961. Griffith was known as an excellent recruiter in his days as a Georgia assistant from 1956-1960. He was unable to establish a winning program in those years after Butts, and was a combined 1-8 against Florida, Auburn, and Tech. His biggest coaching victory was a 30-21 upset win over Auburn in 1962. He did coach one of Georgia’s all-time greatest passers, Larry Rakestraw, who is still prominent in the Bulldog record books. Griffith resigned his coaching duties in December,1963, and later went on to establish a successful construction business in Atlanta. He became a tireless worker in behalf of the State of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame and was selected for induction into the Hall in 1997.

George Cecil “Kid” Woodruff (Georgia), 1923-1927
came to the University as an assistant coach on the recommendation of Knute Rockne. Mehre took over the head coaching duties in 1928 and led Georgia to a 59-34-6 record in his ten years as coach. He was a master at getting his team prepared for the big game, and perhaps none bigger than Georgia’s 15-0 victory over Yale in the dedication game of Sanford Stadium in 1929. Mehre was the only coach in the country to knock off Yale five straight times when Yale was at its height. These victories over Yale and other eastern schools brought Georgia to national prominence. Mehre also led the Bulldogs to a 7-7 tie against the “Seven Blocks of Granite,” undefeated Fordham, and knocked them out of the Rose Bowl. Mehre left Georgia in 1937 to assume the head coaching duties at Ole Miss where he remained for eight seasons and compiled a 39-26-1 record. Mehre left Ole Miss in 1945 and became a soft drink wholesaler and football analyst for the ATLANTA JOURNAL for 22 years. The Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall on the University of Georgia campus is named for him.
Johnny Griffith (Georgia), 1961-1963
COACHING STAFF
was a 1919 graduate of the University of Chicago, where he played under the legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg. He was sent to Athens by the Army to install a physical training program for the University’s R.O.T.C. students. Stegeman also doubled as an assistant under W.A. Cunningham and later assumed his role as head coach of the program in 1920. Stegeman was the coach of the original “Bulldogs” of 1920 that went 8-0-1 and won the Southern Conference Championship. Stegeman coached two more years and had a 20-6-3 career mark at the helm of the Georgia program. Stegeman’s contributions to the University were not solely limited to coaching the football team. He also coached baseball, basketball, track, and held the positions of Athletic Director and Dean of Male Students. Stegeman remained at Georgia for 18 more years as Athletic Director and Dean of Male Students. Stegeman Coliseum on the Georgia campus is named in his honor.
Harry Mehre (Notre Dame), 1928-1937
2009 PREVIEW
He coached Georgia’s first All-American, Bob McWhorter, and the legendary George “Kid” Woodruff. He led Georgia to seven winning seasons, and an overall record of 43-18-9. Cunningham entered the Army when the United States entered World War I, and came back to coach one more year, before re-entering the Army where he reached the rank of General.

FORMER HEAD COACHES Ray Goff (Georgia), 1989-1995
succeeded Vince Dooley in 1988. He was a former player and All-SEC quarterback under Dooley from 1973-1976, and captain of the Southeastern Conference Champions in 1976 when he was named SEC Player of the Year. After serving three years as an assistant coach at South Carolina, he became one of Dooley’s assistants at Georgia from 1981-1988. In seven seasons, Goff coached the Bulldogs to a 46-34-1 record, four bowls (with victories over Arkansas in the 1991 Independence Bowl and Ohio State in the 1993 Citrus Bowl), and an eighth place national ranking following the 10-2 campaign in 1992.
Jim Donnan (N.C. State), 1996-2000
In Jim Donnan’s five years as head coach, he compiled a 40-19 overall record including 25-15 in SEC play (5-6 in ’96, 10-2 in ’97, 9-3 in ’98, 8-4 in ’99, and 8-4 in 2000). The eight wins or more in four straight seasons set a school record. And for the first time in school history, the Bulldogs won four bowl games in four consecutive seasons (def. Wisconsin, 33-6, in ’98 Outback Bowl; def. Virginia, 35-33, in ’98 Peach Bowl; def. Purdue, 28-25, in 2000 Outback Bowl; and def. Virginia, 37-14, in the 2000 Oahu Bowl). Under his direction, Georgia also finished in the nation’s top 20 a school record four consecutive seasons—10th in ’97; 14th in ’98, 16th in ’99, and 17th in 2000. In addition, Georgia set two home game attendance marks averaging 85,618 per game in 1998 and in 1999 and 2000 sold out every home game for an average of 86,117 in 1999 — fifth best in the country—and 86,520 in 2000. A native of Burlington, N.C., and graduate of N.C. State, Donnan came to Georgia following a record-setting run at Marshall. In his six years with the Thundering Herd, Donnan’s teams won 64 games, one national championship (1992), three national runner-up finishes (1991, ’93,’95), and earned five consecutive trips to the post-season playoffs. He was named national 1-AA Coach of the Year twice (1992,’95). He had previously been the architect of Oklahoma’s high powered offenses from 1985-89 where the Sooners won 49 games in those five years including 27 straight Big Eight contests and the 1985 national championship. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2009.

Vince Dooley The University of Georgia Director of Athletics, 1979-2004 There may be no more decorated director of athletics in the country than Georgia’s Vince Dooley who served as head football coach at UGA from December, 1963, to Jan. 1, 1988, and as Director of Athletics from 1979-2004. He was a man of great foresight in times of charting the future, stability in times of change, and vision in critical times that shaped the path of college athletics. His national stature is evident by his most recent honors: 2004 James J. Corbett Memorial Award presented annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), the highest honor one can achieve in collegiate athletics administration; the 2004 John L. Toner Award presented annually by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame for superior administrative abilities and outstanding dedication to college athletics; 2005 Francis J. “Reds” Bagnell Award Contributions to the Game of Football by the Maxwell Club; and the 2004 Contributions to College Football Award presented by National College Football Awards Association and ESPN. He was also selected to the Georgia Trend Magazine Hall of Fame in 2004 and was named by the magazine one of the Top 100 Georgians of the Century in 2000. Under his watch as athletic director, Georgia teams won 20 national championships (ten in his final six years) including an unprecedented four during the 1998-99 year (women’s swimming, gymnastics, men’s tennis, men’s golf). During Dooley’s tenure Georgia athletic teams won 78 SEC team championships and numerous individual national titles in both men’s and women’s sports. In the annual Directors’ Cup national all-sports competition, Georgia teams earned top ten finishes in five of his final seven years as Director of Athletics. He was also a standard-bearer for academic excellence. Under his leadership, more than 100 Georgia student-athletes were named first team Academic All-America, more than 50 received NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarships, seven were named recipients of the SEC’s Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, seven NCAA Top Eight Award winners, three NCAA Woman of the Year recipients, two Walter Byers Award winners, and well over $275,000 was awarded to the University’s general scholarship fund through performances by Georgia student-athletes.

SCHOOL COLORS, STOLEN GIRL FRIENDS, AND YELLOW JACKET TREACHERY
“Turf wars” involving Georgia and its ancient rival, Georgia Tech, beganwith the playing of the first football game in the series. And the effect of the opponent’s underhanded ploy in that 1893 contest resulted in the senior institution’s removing the color gold (or yellow) from its official school colors. In the December 1891 issue of The University’s literary magazine, the editors-selected members of the Demosthenian and Phi Kappa literary societies-had proclaimed those colors to be “old gold, black, and crimson”. This selection extended an earlier custom of each class’ selecting its colors and publishing them in the yearbook. However, Dr. Charles H. Herty-faculty member, “the father of intercollegiate athletics” at The University, and her first football coach-saw “yellow”, as he called it, not gold when he spied the hues on the cover of The Georgia University Magazine. The 24-year-old holder of a doctorate from Johns Hopkins had led initial efforts to stimulate and harness school spirit, organized the school’s

first Athletic Association, and saw to it that yellow was eliminated from the colors. Speaking with student leaders, “We all agreed we didn’t want yellow around Georgia athletics”, reflecting extreme distaste for anything “yellow”, or cowardly. (Early on, the “crimson” became good ol’ Georgia “red”.) A mailed glove, however, was laid across the face of Georgia athletics that day the rivalry commenced. It was the “somebody-stole-my-gal” maneuver perpetrated by “the Teckity Techs” of “93. Earlier that season, the Techs had chosen as their colors white and gold. And they proceed to deck out 200 young ladies from all-girl Lucy Cobb Institute in those very hues to cheer on Tech’s varsity at old Herty Field. Alas, the finishing school’s campus lay just about a mile and one-half from the playing field-in Athens! “These are our girls!”, the cry arose. So, until this very day, when a Georgia Bulldog smells out a Georgia Tech "Yellow Jacket," he sees Red. ----Mike Cheatham

Going Through Stuff
Art Eckman, Former WXIA Sports Anchor Since cutting back my work schedule and tripping into semi-retirement after more than 40 years in the sports broadcast business there have been few excuses to avoid going through boxes and shelves of stuff. Unlike many pack rats who have collected stuff with the rationale, “I might need this stuff someday,” munch of my stuff rekindles the what’s, where’s, and when’s of personal episodes. I recently found the mother of stuff, photographs I took while on one of my all time favorite assignments – Georgia’s 1980 national championship football season. Before the season opener Eddie “Mean Cleaver” Weaver told me on camera,“We’re going to win the National Championship.” I used the sound bite thinking this guy ought to be in show business. Did he scrimmage without a helmet in practice? The bond that 1980 Georgia championship team formed went far beyond athleticism. At the team’s 25th reunion in 2005 I once again got a chance to bare witness to the team’s very special camaraderie. Seeing Freddie Gilbert (below), a freshman reserve defensive lineman in 1980 turned on my memory machine. It prompted me to say, “Freddie I think I have a picture of you and Jimmy Payne (above) (both future All-Americans) on the sideline giving me the biggest smiles while depicting your team’s national ranking.” Gilbert’s face lit up saying, “Oh I wish I had a copy. It would be very special. You know we were best friends, as close as you can get. I married his first cousin.” That, I didn’t know, but I remember his best friend, Jimmy Payne looking like an Adonis physically while possessing the warmest of hearts emotionally. Jimmy was one of the greatest defensive linemen ever to play between the hedges. He would have been the last person you’d suspect of passing prematurely, but leukemia has no rules. He was only 38 years old. When stuff becomes more than unspecified material it’s no longer stuff. The photos I found brought back a spirit. They are reminders of the past when Freddie and Jimmy’s eyes demonstrated their friendship and their smiles reflected joyous times.

1942 Heisman Trophy Winner Jersey Retired in 1943 1940, ‘41, ‘42 (Capt.)
In 1942, Frank Sinkwich became Georgia’s first Heisman Trophy winner after leading Georgia to an 11-1 record, SEC championship, and victory over UCLA in the Rose Bowl. It was the culmination of a great college career highlighted by the Heisman Trophy and AllAmerica selection two consecutive years. In his three-year career (1940-42), Sinkwich rushed for 2,271 yards, passed for 2,331, and accounted for 60 touchdowns—30 rushing and 30 passing. Born in McKees Rock, Pa., Sinkwich was an outstanding high school star at Cheney High School in Youngstown, Ohio. In his record setting senior season with the Bulldogs, Sinkwich gained 795 yards rushing and set the SEC passing record with 1,392 years, a mark that stood for eight years. He set the SEC total offense record of 2,187 yards that same season. Sinkwich led Georgia to another SEC record — 4,725 yards of team total offense. Although playing with two sprained ankles, he scored Georgia’s only TD in 9-0 victory over UCLA in the Rose Bowl. In 1941, Sinkwich set an SEC rushing record with 1,103 yards which stood for eight years, and gained 713 yards passing for a new SEC total offense record of 1,816 yards. He led Georgia to a 40-26 victory over TCU in the Orange Bowl New Year’s Day in 1942 with a performance still considered by many as the best in all bowl history. Sinkwich gained 139 years, completed 9 of 13 passes for 243 yards and three touchdowns — a total offensive effort of 382 yards. That season, Sinkwich played from the third game on with a broken jaw in a protective mask. Sinkwich was All-Pro with Detroit in 1943-44, but a knee injury received in the Air Force game in 1945 ended his playing career. He was inducted into the National Football Hall of Fame in 1954.

1946 Maxwell Award Winner Jersey Retired in 1947 1942, ‘45, ‘46
Charley Trippi is still regarded by many as the greatest all-around athlete ever to play for the University of Georgia. Trippi began earning Hall of Fame distinction as a sophomore by leading the Bulldogs to a 9-0 victory over U.C.L.A. in the 1943 Rose Bowl game in which he was named the game’s outstanding player after rushing for 130 yards. Born Dec. 14, 1922, in Pittston, Pa., Trippi was a unanimous All-America selection in 1946 after leading Georgia to a perfect 11-0 record, SEC championship, and victory over North Carolina in the Sugar Bowl game. His senior season, he led the SEC in scoring with 84 points and finished the year with 1,366 yards total offense (744 rushing and 622 passing). He was runnerup for the Heisman Trophy in ’46 and won the Maxwell Award, given annually to the most valuable player in the country. He signed with the Chicago Cardinals following his collegiate career and in his rookie season, led them to the world championship. In the championship game, he scored twice on a 44-yard rush and 75-yard punt return. He played with the Cardinals for nine seasons. Following his playing career, Trippi was selected to the National College Football Hall of Fame, National Pro Football Hall of Fame, Rose Bowl Hall of Fame, and State of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. He is one of only four Georgia players to have his jersey retired. Trippi became a regular halfback on the 1942 SEC championship team that finished 11-1 and earned the Rose Bowl invitation. He gained 1,239 total yards (672 rushing on 98 carries and another 567 passing completing 30 of 58). He spent 1943-45 serving in the Air Force, but following his discharge, he returned to Georgia to play the final six games of the 1945 season. One of his most memorable performances was leading the ‘Dogs to a 33-0 victory over Georgia Tech—a game in which he set the SEC record for yards gained passing (323) and also total offense (384 yards on 323 passing and 61 rushing). Against Florida that same year, he set the SEC record for rushing in a single game with 239 yards. In his junior season, he led Georgia to a 20-6 victory over Tulsa in the Oil Bowl at Houston, Jan. 1, 1946. Trippi was also an All-America baseball player in 1946 and played with the Atlanta Crackers in 1947. He later served as an assistant coach at Georgia (1958-62) and with the St. Louis Cardinals.

#40 THERON SAPP, FB Jersey Retired in 1959 The University of Georgia 1956, '57, '58 (Captain)
On Sept. 2, 1985, the jersey (#34) of 1982 Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker (L) was retired during halftime ceremonies of the season-opening Georgia-Alabama game. In a rare collection of former UGA superstars, Walker was joined by the other three former Bulldogs who have retired jerseys: #40 Theron Sapp, #62 Charley Trippi, and #21 Frank Sinkwich.
2009 MEDIA GUIDE
He will always be known as "The Drought Breaker" for his great touchdown against Georgia Tech in 1957. His score was the difference in a 7-0 Georgia victory which ended an eight-year losing streak to the Yellow Jackets. But that single score sometimes overshadows a great career at Georgia which included being named All-SEC in 1958 and his election as team captain. He was drafted by Philadelphia in 1960, and was in the lineup when the Eagles defeated Vince Lombardi's up-and-coming Green Bay Packers in the NFL championship game. He was traded to Pittsburgh in 1963 and responded by rushing for over 500 yards and helping the Steelers to the eastern division title.

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY Fans everywhere remember freshman sensation Herschel Walker leading the 1980 Georgia Bulldogs to a perfect 12-0 record and the undisputed national championship. However, most don’t realize that over the more than 100-year history of Georgia football, five Bulldog teams have actually been declared national champions at season’s end by at least one of the national polls recognized by the National College Football Hall of Fame and included in the official NCAA Football Record Book. Two of those, 1980 and 1942, were consensus selections being chosen by at least half of the recognized polls. Three other Georgia teams — 1927, 1946, and 1968, were recognized by polls such as the Williamson, based on a power ratings system, and the Litkenhous, a difference-by-score formula.
The Consensus National Champions
1980 - Vince Dooley’s 1980 national championship team was the most compelling after recording a perfect 12-0 mark including a 17-10 victory over Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. Freshman sensation Herschel Walker helped move the Bulldogs up the poll ladder after being virtually unranked prior to the season. Georgia had moved up to number two after defeating South Carolina, 13-10, in a battle of top 10 teams in the season’s eighth game. The following week, it appeared Georgia’s run was over when Florida led the ‘Dogs, 21-20, with a minute and a half to play and UGA set for a final possession on its own seven yard line. But quarterback Buck Belue, on third down and 10, hit receiver Lindsay Scott on a 93-yard TD pass with 1:04 to play to lift the ‘Dogs to a 26-21 victory. The next day, Georgia was elevated to number one in the polls. After victories over Auburn and Georgia Tech in the final two regular season games, Georgia met perhaps the most storied school in college football history—Notre Dame—in the Sugar Bowl. Led by freshman sensation Herschel Walker’s two touchdowns, Georgia defeated the Irish, 17-10, to lay claim to its undisputed national crown. Virtually every major poll declared the Bulldogs No. 1 following a season in which Georgia was the only undefeated, untied Division 1-A team in the country.
1942 - In 1942, James Wallace Butts of Milledgeville, Ga., molded what was regarded as the Bulldogs’ most powerful team in the first fifty years of Georgia football. Georgia was led by All-Americans Frank Sinkwich, who would win the Heisman Trophy following the season, and end George Poschner along with a young back named Charley Trippi who would years later be called perhaps the greatest all-around athlete ever to play for the Bulldogs. Georgia knocked off nine consecutive opponents and ranked No. 1 in the nation. But Auburn ambushed the ‘Dogs in Columbus, 27-13. Georgia, however, came back to win a Rose Bowl bid by blanking previously unbeaten Georgia Tech in Athens, 34-0, in the regular season finale. Georgia then edged U.C.L.A., 9-0, in the Rose Bowl to finish the season 11-1. In the final polls, Georgia was declared national champion in six polls recognized by the NCAA—DeVold, Houlgate, Litkenhous, Williamson, Poling, and Berryman.
The other three....
1982 - Led by Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker, Georgia marched through the 11-game regular season undefeated and untied and was ranked No. 1 heading into the bowl games. But second-ranked Penn State upended the Bulldogs, 27-23, in the Sugar Bowl to claim the national crown.
1927
2009 GEORGIA BULLDOGS
- Georgia’s famous “dream and wonder team” of Coach George Kid” Woodruff won its first nine games, including the Bulldogs’ first win ever over Yale, a college football power of the 1920’s, in New Haven, Conn. It ranked No. 1 in the nation with one regular season game remaining. However, Georgia Tech spoiled the perfect season by upsetting the ‘Dogs in the rain, 12-0, in Atlanta. But the ’27 ‘Dogs were still voted number one in two final recognized polls — Boand and Poling. This team marked the culmination of five year’s work by Woodruff who had brought in several Knute Rockne proteges to install the Notre Dame box formation: line coach Harry Mehre; Jim Crowley, one of the four horsemen; and Frank Thomas. All later became great head coaches (Mehre at Georgia and Ole Miss, Crowley at Fordham, and Thomas at Alabama).

1946
- The 1942 juggernaut was dismantled by the events of World War II. But Charley Trippi and several of his Rose Bowl teammates returned to school in 1946 and led Georgia to a perfect 10-0 regular season and 20-10 victory over North Carolina in the Sugar Bowl. But despite Georgia’s perfect record, Notre Dame was declared national champion by the majority of the polls; however, the Bulldogs were voted No. 1 in the final Williamson poll.
1968
- In 1968, another of Vince Dooley’s teams went through the regular season undefeated, but tied twice, finishing 8-0-2 and earning an invitation to the Sugar Bowl. Despite suffering a 16-2 loss in the bowl game to Arkansas, Georgia was still voted No. 1 in the Litkenhous poll.
Some that came close....
Several other Georgia teams have flirted with a national title. Following the 1980 national championship season, Georgia had a magnificent run that produced three straight teams that had a shot at winning the national title—1981, ’82, and ’83. Two of Mark Richt's teams also came close.
1981 - Despite an early season loss to Clemson, 13-3, in which the ‘Dogs had nine turnovers, Georgia fought its way back to a No. 2 national ranking by winning the final eight regular season games. But a loss to Pitt in the Sugar Bowl in the final 20 seconds extinguished any chance at a second consecutive national title. 2009 MEDIA GUIDE
1983 - One of Georgia’s favorite teams, the defensive-minded Bulldogs headed into the bowl games with a 9-1-1 record but faced undefeated, untied, and second-ranked Texas in the Cotton Bowl classic at Dallas. Despite being heavy underdogs, Georgia’s defense stymied the Longhorns and the opportunistic offense scored a touchdown with 3:22 to play to give the ‘Dogs a 10-9 upset. The nation’s top-ranked team also lost that day but the final polls ranked Georgia fourth. 2002 - Head coach Mark Richt's second team won more games than any team in UGA history--13--and won Georgia's first SEC championship in 20 years. Only a 7-point loss to Florida in Jacksonville kept the Dogs out of a shot at the national championship game. The 13-1 Bulldogs, after defeating FSU in the Nokia Sugar Bowl, still finished the season ranked No. 3 in all major polls. 2007 - Although not selected for the national championship game, the 'Dawgs finished 11-2 with a No. 2 final national ranking.
And some others that had a shot....
1976 - The SEC champion ‘Dogs finished 10-1 in the regular season and went into the bowl games ranked fourth but had a shot by playing No. 1 Pitt in the Sugar Bowl. But the Panthers, led by Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett, defeated Georgia, 27-3, to claim the national crown.
1971 - Sophomore quarterback Andy Johnson led Georgia to nine straight
victories before undefeated Auburn ended the ‘Dogs hopes of a national title with a 35-20 victory in Athens. Despite the loss, Georgia still finished 11-1 by beating Georgia Tech in the final regular season game and defeating North Carolina in the Gator Bowl.
1966 - Georgia soundly defeated SMU in the Cotton Bowl but could not overcome a single regular season defeat to Miami by a single point as the ‘Dogs finished the season 10-1 and ranked No. 4.

UGA, OUR MASCOT In the last 100 years of intercollegiate football, Georgia’s Uga has established himself as the nation’s most well-known mascot. The line of pure white English bulldogs, which epitomizes everything Georgia, has been owned by the Frank W. “Sonny” Seiler family of Savannah, Ga., since Uga I first graced the campus in 1956. Through the years, Uga has been defined by his spiked collar, a symbol of the position which he holds. He was given his name, an Uga VII abbreviation for the university, by William Young of Columbus, a law school classmate of Seiler. Each of the Uga mascots is awarded a varsity letter in the form of a plaque, identical to those presented to all Bulldog athletes who letter in their respective sports. As determined and published by the Pittsburgh Press, the University of Georgia is the only major college that actually buries its mascots within the confines of the stadium. Ugas I, II, III, IV, V and VI are buried in marble vaults near the main gate in the embankment of the South stands. Epitaphs to the dogs are inscribed in bronze, and before each home game, flowers are placed on their graves. The memorial plot attracts hundreds of fans and visitors each year. For the past 20 years, Uga’s jerseys have been custom-made at the beginning of each season from the same material used for the players’ jerseys. Old jerseys are destroyed. Uga’s on-field home is a permanent air conditioned doghouse located next to the cheerleaders’ platform, providing comfort in the heat of August and September.
2009 GEORGIA BULLDOGS
Uga I, 1956-66
“Hood’s Ole Dan” • Record: 53-48-6 The current Uga line of solid white English bulldogs began with Uga I, Hood’s Ole Dan, born Dec. 2, 1955, in Columbus. Uga I was given to Cecelia Seiler by a friend, Frank Heard of Columbus and appeared in his first game in the 1956 home opener. As recalled by Sonny Seiler, “...his original red jerseys were made by Cecelia. It was necessary to take up children’s t-shirts to fit the dog in the right places. There is no telling how many of these jerseys he wore out. During the early games in Athens, especially the hot ones before he had a dog house, the large green hedges that surround Sanford Stadium afford welcomed shade in the heat of battle. Unfortunately, the hedges constantly tore these jerseys and new ones had to be made.” Epitaph: Damn Good Dog
Uga II, 1966-72 “Ole Dan’s Uga” • Record: 42-16-3 Uga I was succeeded by his son, Ole Dan’s Uga at an impressive pregame ceremony
Uga I

Uga II
2009 MEDIA GUIDE
at Homecoming, 1966. With the Georgia Redcoat Band lining the field, Uga II was led to the center of the field by Charles Seiler, son of Sonny and Cecelia. The student body erupted in a cheer that was picked up by the entire stadium, ‘‘Damn Good Dog!’’ Uga II had an impressive reign as he watched Georgia participate in five bowl games and win two SEC championships. Epitaph: Not Bad For A Dog
Uga III, 1972-80
“Seiler’s Uga Three” • Record: 71-32-2 Born October 9, 1972 , Seiler’s Uga III was present for Georgia football’s finest moment as Herschel Walker took the Bulldogs to the 1980 national championship. He led Georgia to six bowl games in nine years and closed out his career in ultimate fashion winning the 1980 NCAA championship. Uga III retired on the 100th football game of his career, marking the season-opener of the 1981 season. He died just weeks later. Epitaph: How ‘Bout This Dawg
Uga III
Uga, VI Uga IV 1981-89
“Seiler’s Uga Four” • Record: 77-27-4 Uga IV was perhaps the most active of all the Georgia mascots, standing as the only one to attend a bowl game every year of his service (1981-89). He took over for Uga III in the 1981 season opener and over the next nine seasons, led Georgia to a record of 77-27-4. The highlight of his career was his personal appearance at the Heisman Trophy Banquet with Herschel Walker in New York on December 9, 1982. Uga IV was escorted through the banquet hall by the president of the Downtown Athletic Club, and was earlier photographed with Walker by news photographers from across the country. The proud Bulldog donned his game jersey for the outing but added the formal touch of a collar and black tie. Uga IV was the first mascot invited to the Heisman Banquet. Declared ‘‘Dog of the Decade’’ by Vince Dooley in 1991, Uga IV was posthumously awarded the highest honor available to University of Georgia mascots — the Georgia varsity letter.

“UGA IV’s Magillicuddy II” Record: 65-39-1 In the first game of 1990, Uga V officially began his reign as the Georgia mascot taking over from his father Uga IV, who passed away at his home in Savannah on Feb. 26, 1990. Uga V was the last pup sired by Uga IV and was born on March 6, 1990. Named in honor of one of the greatest Bulldogs, Dan Magill, former Assistant Athletic Director for Public Relations and longtime tennis coach and sports information director. Surprisingly, the Seiler family became aware that Uga IV’s mate was expecting only 10 days before the litter was due. This notice came a week after Uga IV had passed away at his home in Savannah from kidney failure. There were only three pups in the litter and the last one born on March 6 was the only solid white male. Uga V had been perhaps the most well known of all the Bulldog mascots highlighted by his appearance on the cover of the April 28, 1997, Sports Illustrated which declared him the nation’s best college mascot. Rocketed to stardom, he also appeared in Clint Eastwood’s “Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil” — filmed in his hometown of Savannah, Ga. Uga V also presided over Georgia’s most successful collective sporting effort in department history as the Bulldogs claimed four NCAA team titles during the 1998-99 season — women’s swimming and diving, women’s gymnastics, men’s tennis and men’s golf — and placed second in the Directors’ Cup race. He died on Nov. 22, 1999, just over two months after his retirement. Epitaph: Defender Of His Turf
The pregame passing of the bone ceremony from Uga V to his heftier and friskier son, Whatchagot Loran, took place at the 1999 Georgia-South Carolina contest. Only a year old at his coronation, Uga VI stands as the biggest of all the Uga mascots weighing in at 65 pounds — 20 pounds heavier than his father. His first season climaxed in a magnificent come from behind victory over Purdue at the Outback Bowl in Tampa. The comeback from a 25-point deficit marked an unprecedented feat in Georgia annals and the largest comeback in collegiate bowl history. The 2000 season ended in Hawaii, but due to the distance and a quarantine rule, Uga VI missed the O’ahu Bowl, marking the first time the Georgia mascot had missed a postseason game since the 1969 Sun Bowl. Alongside first-year head coach Mark Richt, Uga VI saw his third consecutive 8-4 season.The 2002 Bulldogs won a record 13 games (to only one loss), and topped Arkansas to win the program’s first league title since 1982. And Uga VI roamed the sidelines as the Bulldogs defeated Florida State in the 2003 Nokia Sugar Bowl, 26-13. The wins kept piling up for Uga VI and the Bulldogs in 2003, as the team posted an 11-3 record, returned to the SEC Championship game before falling to eventual national champion LSU. Georgia held on for a 34-27 overtime victory against Purdue in the Capital One Bowl in Orlando. In the 2004 season, the Bulldogs posted a 10-2 record with a 24-21 win against Wisconsin in the Outback Bowl. Year 2005 ended with a record of 10-3 and a loss in the Nokia Sugar Bowl 38-35 against West Virginia on January 2, 2006. The game was played in Atlanta, Ga. due to destruction in New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina. Georgia returned to Atlanta, Ga. to defeat Virginia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl on December 30, 2006 to end the 2006 season with a 9-4 record. The Bulldogs defeated the Hawaii Warriors 41-10 in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on January 1, 2008 in the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, La. ending the 2007 season ranked second in the AP poll.

Uga VII
The seventh in the Uga line of Georgia mascots was introduced to the Georgia fans on Saturday, Aug. 30, 2008, during pre-game ceremonies of the Bulldogs’ season opener against Georgia Southern. “Loran’s Best” officially became “Uga VII,” when he was introduced. Uga VII was escorted onto the field by members of the Frank W. “Sonny” Seiler family of Savannah who have owned the continuous line of mascots since
Although the University of Georgia is now known as the home of Uga, the pure white English bulldog, several mascots led the Red and Black before Frank W. Seiler provided the current lineage.
The Goat, Feb. 22, 1892
Georgia’s mascot for its first football game against Auburn, February 22, 1892 in Atlanta, Ga., was a goat. Old newspaper clippings indicate that the goat wore a black coat with red U.G. letters on each side. He also had on a hat with ribbons all down his high horns, and the Auburn fans yelled throughout the game “shoot the billy-goat.”
2009 GEORGIA BULLDOGS
Trilby, 1894
204
In 1894, Georgia’s mascot was a solid white female bull terrier owned by a student, Charles H. Black, Sr., of Atlanta. Trilby, named after a novel by George Du Maurier, served Trilby with owner as the campus pet and mascot for the Charles H. Black Chi Phi fraternity. Disputing stories speculate the origin of the Bulldog nickname, and the story of Trilby provides yet another opinion: “...every day Trilby took herself down to old Herty field with her master for football practice. She ran signals with the best of them and became an accustomed figure on the athletic field...One morning, Trilby failed to appear for her breakfast and after a frantic search she was finally discovered proudly washing the faces of her newborn family, 13 white puppies...Late one dusky fall afternoon, Trilby appeared for a grid workout and scampering after her came her 13 children, darting through players’ legs, barking and pace. ‘Well,’ suggested one of the players, ‘Trilby has brought us a name, Bulldogs.’ ...Every time a game was played on Herty Field, the boys would floss Trilby and her 13 offerings up with red and black ribbons, and so attired they have gone down in history as perhaps the first ‘sponsors’ in southern football.” —Ruth Stanton Cogill (Atlanta newspaper) “After the reign of Trilby and her family, chaos developed in the mascot department at the university. Many games had several, depending on which alumnus got his dog to the game first.” —AJC, Nov. 18, 1962
Mr. Angel, 1944-46 Mr. Angel, a brindle and white colored English Bulldog owned by Eastman, Ga., physician, Warren Coleman, filled a void during some of the war years. There was no mascot roaming the sidelines and Coleman took Mr. Angel to games and stood with him on the sidelines. His picture on the field and with the Georgia cheerleaders appears in the 1945 and ’46 UGA annual, the Pandora. 2009 MEDIA GUIDE
Uga I took up the mantle in 1956. The first year was a success for the laidback mascot. He was not bothered by flying in an airplane, taking photos with excited fans and was oblivious to the crowd noise during games. Uga VII, at 56 and one half pounds, completed the 2008 season with a 24-12 win at the Capital One Bowl in Orlando and ended his first season with a record of 10-3.
Butch, 1947-50
Butch was a brindled English bulldog owned by Mabry Smith of War ner Robins, Ga. He was spotted by students who were attending the 1946 Georgia-Georgia Tech game in Athens, and the canine appeared to be suited for the mascot position. Smith agreed to loan Butch to the University during the football season along with a female puppy named Tuffy. The female died of a heart attack following the GeorgiaKentucky game in 1948, but Butch continued to serve. Spending the off-season at Smith’s home in Warner Robins, Butch was tragically shot in the summer of 1951 by a policeman after the dog escaped from his pen and was found roaming the streets. Butch is buried behind Smith’s business along Watson Boulevard. In 2004 plans for a marker honoring Butch in his hometown were put into motion by longtime Warner Robins resident Guy Fussell.
Mike, 1951-55
Butch was succeeded by Mike, another brindled English bulldog, owned by C. L. Fain. Mike The bronze lived in the field house on statue of Mike campus and died of natural canine causes in 1955. As his master’s thesis, Gene Owens of Fort Worth, Texas, cast the bronze statue of Mike, which is located at the entrance of Memorial Hall.
Otto, 1986
Although Otto was not pure white like his father, Uga III, he was called upon to fill in for his younger brother, Uga IV, who injured ligaments in his left hind knee when jumping off a hotel bed before the Vanderbilt contest. In four games during the 1986 season, Otto led the team to a 3-1 record and also co-mascotted (along with Uga IV), a victory over instate rival Georgia Tech. After winning his first two games, fans cheered, “2-and-0 with Otto!” Dooley, serving as head coach during Otto’s brief tenure, favored the substitute the most. “I have always had a great affection for those who came off the bench and performed, and he did that and had a great time,” Dooley said. Otto is buried in Otto the Seilers’ backyard.

COACHING STAFF
The University of Georgia Redcoat Band is considered by many to be the "heart" of the Bulldog Nation. The 425-member marching band of the Hugh Hodgson School of Music was the first SEC school to receive the prestigious Sudler Trophy for musical and visual excellence in 2000. Dr. Michael C. Robinson is the Director of Athletic Bands and the Director of the 105th edition of the Redcoat Band. Dr. John Lynch is the Director of Bands, Dr. Gregg Gausline is the Associate Director of Bands, and Dr. Nikk Pilato is Assistant Director of Bands An extensive staff is vital to the operation of the Redcoat Band. UGA alumnus Tom Wallace prepares the band's musical arrangements while alumnus John Cypert oversees the scoring and instruction for the UGA Drumline. The auxiliary units of the band (Georgettes, Majorettes, Flagline, and Feature Twirler) are under the leadership of Auxiliary Coordinator Candy Byrd and Flagline sponsor Lucie Ausbern, both alumna of UGA. The Properties Crew, under the leadership of Allie Chambers, is responsible for the band's logistical concerns. Kappa Kappa Psi, a band service fraternity, undertakes many projects serving the entire band program. Graduate teaching assistants and other staff include Amy Knopps, Josh Byrd, Katie Byrd, James Henderson, Chuck Arnold, and John Schnettler. The talented students of the Redcoat Band are the key to the organization's success. Being a Redcoat requires an academic background of significant accomplishment, and a great deal of talent and preparation in one's area of performance specialty. Redcoats commit themselves to 6-8 hours of rehearsal per week, while maintaining some of the highest grade-point averages at UGA. Though some 30% of its members are music majors, many are pursuing degrees from many of the academic disciplines at the University of Georgia. The uniquely diverse student population that makes up the Redcoat Band contributes to an organization of which Georgia supporters can be justifiably proud. Its colorful presence, limitless school spirit, and exciting music and motion are a part of what makes college football so special to Bulldog fans.
2009 PREVIEW
A pioneer in the integration of higher education and athletic competition, the Southeastern Conference stands ready to advance intercollegiate athletics into the 21st century after celebrating its 76th anniversary in the 2008-09 year. Since its formation in 1933, the SEC achieved both stature and stability by designating governing/voting power to the presidents of the member institutions. They have determined the policies of the conference and through the years this involvement has been the principal source of strength in the evolution of the SEC. Throughout its 73-year history, the SEC has provided leadership on the vital issues facing intercollegiate competition. In 1993, the member institutions adopted The Principles of Gender Equity. Committed to increasing the quantity and quality of women’s athletic opportunities, each school will provide at least two more women’s intercollegiate programs than the number of men’s. Faced with the task of conference realignment after competing with 10 members since 1966, the SEC welcomed the University of Arkansas on Aug. 1, 1990, and the University of South Carolina on Sept. 25, 1990. Joining charter members Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt, on July 1, 1991, Arkansas and South Carolina became the first schools added in conference history. Fully incorporated into conference competition by 1992, Arkansas and South Carolina participated in SEC championships for all sports except football during the 1991-92 academic year. The SEC was again at the forefront, introducing football, basketball and baseball divisional play and the nation’s first ever Division I football championship game. SEC schools began athletic competition with one another almost 100 years ago as members of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Seven institutions (Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Sewanee and Vanderbilt) attended the SIAA organizational meeting of faculty representatives, called by Dr. William L. Dudley of Vanderbilt, in Atlanta Dec. 22, 1894. The first football game in the Southeast was played April 9, 1880, on the ground now called Old Stoll Field at the University of Kentucky. Kentucky A & M (now UK) organized a team and in November 1881, played Transylvania College in a three-game series. By 1895, 11 current SEC members were playing football. In the 1979-80 academic year SEC championships for women were recognized in basketball, tennis and volleyball. The following year golf, gymnastics, swimming and track and field were added. Softball became a recognized women’s sport in the SEC in 1997. The administration of women’s athletics officially came under the auspices of the conference office on Sept. 1, 1984. The SEC currently regulates nine men’s sports and 11 women’s sports: Men - baseball, basketball, cross country, (indoor and outdoor), football, golf, swimming, tennis and track . Women - basketball, cross country (indoor and outdoor), golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and volleyball.

DR. MICHAEL ADAMS, PRESIDENT
Dr. Michael F. Adams was named the 21st president of the University of Georgia on June 11, 1997. He immediately focused on securing UGA’s future as one of America’s premier public research universities. Widely recognized as a leader in higher education administration, he also has held a number of significant leadership positions in intercollegiate athletics. He is currently the chairman of the NCAA Executive Committee, the highest governance body in the NCAA. It is composed of 13 campus presidents and chancellors who oversee association-wide issues. The committee is charged with ensuring that each division operates consistently with the basic purposes, fundamental policies and general principles of the association. He has been chair of the Southeastern Conference and is a member of the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics. A college athlete himself – he lettered in track at Lipscomb University – he values athletics as an important part of the college experience
for athletes and non-athletes alike. Dr. Adams recently completed a term as chairman of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities, formerly known as the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges. He is the only person to have served as chair of the American Council on Education, the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities and APLU. He has been chair of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the accrediting body for higher education in the southern United States, and in 2005 received the James T. Rogers Distinguished Leadership Award, the highest honor given by the agency. A strategic plan, completed in 2001 at his direction, identified three themes for UGA’s growth in the first decade of the 21st century: Building the New Learning Environment, Maximizing Research Opportunities and Competing in a Global Economy. Under Dr. Adams’ leadership, student quality has risen steadily and the University of Georgia has been ranked as one of America's top 20 public universities for eight of the past 10 years by U.S. News & World Report. External funding for research, public service and instruction totals more than $200 million annually. Private giving to the university is at its highest level ever; UGA completed the Archway to Excellence campaign on June 30, 2008 with more than $630 million, well above the $500 million goal. The total value of construction initiated during his tenure approaches $1 billion, financed through the innovative use of state, federal, internal and private funds, and includes the Student Learning Center; new residence halls and a dining commons on East Campus; the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center; the Paul Coverdell Center for Biomedical and Health Sciences; the Animal Health Research Center; the new Lamar Dodd School of Art and an expansion of Sanford Stadium and the Women’s Athletic Complex. More recent
facility additions and improvements include the new Dodd School of Art, the expansion of the Tate Student Center and an addition to the Georgia Museum of Art. Moore College, Candler Hall, Phi Kappa Hall and Myers Hall have been renovated and Old College, the University’s first building, has been renovated as the home of the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. He holds a bachelor’s degree in speech and history from David Lipscomb College. He earned a master’s in political communications and a doctorate in political communications, with a cognate emphasis in educational administration, from The Ohio State University. At OSU, he was named a University Fellow, the highest academic recognition given by the graduate school. He holds an academic appointment as a professor of speech communication at UGA. Dr. Adams was born in Montgomery, Alabama and attended public schools in Georgia from first grade through ninth, graduating from high school in Chattanooga in 1966. He began his professional career on the communication faculty at Ohio State, later serving as vice president for university affairs at Pepperdine University. He was president of Centre College in Danville, Kentucky for nine years before coming to Georgia. He also served as chief of staff for Senator Howard Baker and as an aide to Governor Lamar Alexander of Tennessee. “The people of the state of Georgia deserve a flagship institution every bit as good as the citizens of Virginia or Michigan or California or North Carolina,” Dr. Adams said when he was named president. “I am committed to making the University of Georgia that kind of institution.”

Faculty Athletics Representative
UGAA Highlights During Evans’ Tenure
COACHING STAFF
GA letter winner and double degree holder Damon Evans was selected as Director of Athletics in December 2003, and assumed the duties officially on July 1, 2004. At the time he was just 34 years of age, and one of the youngest athletic directors in the country. However, he had already established himself as an up and coming athletic administrator. Evans has received several honors including the Street and Smith’s Sports Business Journal “40 Under 40 Award” for 2004, 2005, and 2007, the UGA Terry College of Business Award as the “Outstanding Young Alumnus”, and Sports Illustrated’s “101 Most Influential Minorities in Sports”. Today, Evans oversees a nationally recognized program with 21 intercollegiate sports teams involving more than 600 student-athletes, an $84 million budget and a 260 person staff. He is a member of several Southeastern Conference and NCAA Committees, Chairman of the NCAA Division I Leadership Council, and is involved in volunteer and community service roles across the state of Georgia. He was born in Nebraska, but spent much of his youth in Gainesville, Georgia where he graduated from Gainesville High School after a stellar career both athletically and academically. During his football career at Georgia (1988-92), Evans earned a starting assignment four consecutive seasons, played in three bowl games (‘89 Peach, ‘91 Independence, and ‘92 Citrus) and was a member of the ’91 and ’92 teams that won nine and ten games, respectively. He earned two degrees from the University of Georgia, receiving a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1992 and a master’s of education in sports management in 1994. Evans joined the staff at the University of Missouri, serving as Director of Compliance and Operations (1994-95). After holding the positions as a Director and Assistant Commissioner for Eligibility and Compliance Services at the Southeastern Conference (1995-98), he returned to his alma mater. Before his appointment as UGA Director of Athletics, he held titles of Associate and Senior Associate A.D. for Internal Affairs. He is married to the former Kerri Budd of Atlanta and they have two children, Cameron and Kennedy.
