9/2010

From the editor : vance leavy It’s fitting that for this issue’s cover we went old school with nothing but Jack Davis’ incredible artwork. Just this past weekend at the Idaho State game, Jack received the Ole’ Faithful Dog award given by the UGA Lettermen’s Club for his longtime support of the University Georgia. There’s not a better Bulldog than Jack Davis … period. Like all good Bulldogs, Jack has suffered through this season knowing that our boys in red and black have been giving everything they could, but unfortunately few outcomes have gone their way. Nonetheless, Jack woke up inspired last week and created the magnificent cover with the hopes that somehow his artwork would inspire the team to dig deep when they travel to Auburn on Saturday. I hope Jack’s feeling that somehow, some way this team will execute the Plains Shocker is dead on because Mark Richt and his team need it in a big way. I say this because, while it’s commendable that the 2010 Dawgs have stayed together, they are still searching for a victory against a quality opponent. This is not a dig against La. Lafayette, Tennessee, Vandy, Kentucky and Idaho State, but, as Jeff Dantzler points out in the Georgia-Auburn preview on page 6, the five teams have a collected record of 13-33 this season. Hardly impressive. Nonetheless, Saturday’s game against Auburn gives our team the ability to relinquish some frustration on a season that no one expected. Could it be that everything is going to come together in all phases for one magical game? I sure hope so because it will take that to slow down the juggernaut that Auburn is this season. You name a position and pretty much the Tigers are loaded there. From Cam Newton, who seems unstoppable to a running back corps that is three deep with loads of talent to a stud receiver in Darvin Adams. And then there’s that nasty nose guard Nick Fairley

who looks like he belongs on LSU’s defensive line rather than Auburn’s. That guy wreaks havoc on every play. Still as Murray Poole points out in his column on page 5, the Tiger defense has given up a slew of points, which gives our offense led by Aaron Murray and A.J. Green a chance to do some damage. Let’s hope Mike Bobo’s game plan includes a steady diet of #8, which for whatever reason didn’t happen versus the Gators. Still, the Dawgs running game must establish itself early and often in order to keep Auburn’s Newton off the field. And please, Coach Richt, remember you are 41-4 when you have a running back go over 100 yards. But like is usually the case in the Southeastern Conference, Saturday’s game will come down to which team plays the best defense, which in turn equates to which unit wins the turnover battle. Would it shock you to learn that Georgia was minus six in turnovers in its five losses, including four catastrophic fumbles. The bottom line is that it will take a near perfect game for our Dawgs to have a chance Saturday. However in the South’s oldest rivalry anything is possible and I’m just glad to say I’ll be there to see it. There’s not a more rowdy stadium in the country than Jordan-Hare. And combine that with the fact that if Auburn wins they will punch their ticket to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta. Don’t you just know that will have the orange and blue faithful even more revved up? And then there’s that little sticking point that Georgia has beaten the Tigers four times in a row, which is a the longest winning streak since the late 40s. Needless to say, Aubie, the Tigers or War Eagles, whatever they are called, are going to want to kick our fannies on Saturday. So what will it be for this 2010 Georgia Bulldogs team? Will you stick together and win a big game or go into a much, needed open date still banded together, but sporting a losing record??? It’s time to relinquish some frustration. It won’t be easy, but I can’t wait to see it! Go Dawgs!!!

Throughout Georgia’s proud and storied football history, no school has taken more from the Bulldogs than Auburn. Make no mistake, Florida has been closing the gap, and at 18-3 against Georgia since 1990, the Gators have been quickly closing the gap on Auburn when it comes to handing the Bulldogs devastating losses. But through the years, without question, it’s been Auburn that has doled out the most heart-breakers and championship-takers. It started in 1942 when the Bulldogs, led by iconic Hall-of-Famers Frank Sinkwich – who would go on to win the Heisman Trophy – and Charley Trippi, were the best team in the country. Coming off of a 75-0 thrashing of Florida, the Bulldogs were ranked No. 1 nationally, and in need of just one more win to clinch the first Southeastern Conference championship in school history. Riding high, the upset struck. Georgia lost to Auburn 27-13. The Bulldogs fell to No. 5 and rebounded to register one of the greatest wins in school history, topping No. 2 Georgia Tech 34-0. That victory over the Yellow Jackets clinched the SEC title and earned the Bulldogs the Rose Bowl berth. Georgia beat UCLA 9-0 in Pasadena, with Sinkwich scoring the game’s lone touchdown and Trippi earning Most Valuable Player honors with 130 yards. Despite the loss to Auburn, Georgia was voted No. 1 in six polls, earning the consensus national championship. But unlike 1980, the Bulldogs were not the undisputed, unanimous No. 1 team because of the loss to the Tigers, which goes down as one of the worst and most painful in Georgia history. Another of those all-time bad losses in Bulldog annals came in 1971. It was arguably the most important game ever played in Sanford Stadium, and longtime Georgia fans still say it was the toughest ticket ever. One was sold to a friend for $150, that’s big money to a poor columnist and broadcaster today, and major cashola in 1971. Georgia, Auburn and Alabama all headed to November undefeated. The Bulldogs had dreams of a shot at the national title, and needed a win over Auburn to capture the SEC title. The Bulldogs were led by star sophomore signal caller Andy Johnson, while the Tigers ace was senior All-American quarterback Pat Sullivan. It was Sullivan’s day, as he delivered a signature performance was three touchdown tosses to Terry Beasley, wrapping up the Heisman Trophy as the Tigers won 35-20 between the hedges. With Johnson leading the way and Jimmy Poulos going over the top for the game-winner, Georgia rebounded to top Tech in a 28-24 thriller on the night of the famous 35-31 Nebraska win over Oklahoma. Despite an incredible 11-1 campaign, one of the best Bulldog teams ever was denied a share of the SEC championship with Alabama, which went on to top the Tigers, because of the loss to Auburn. From 1978-83, Georgia went 33-2-1 in Southeastern Conference games, winning the league title in 1980, 1981 and 1982. The three blemishes over the six year stretch all came to Auburn. In 1978, the 8-1 Bulldogs tied the Tigers 22-22 on the plains, costing Georgia a share of the SEC title with co-national champion Alabama. The Bulldogs followed it up with a memorable 29-28 victory over Tech between the hedges, then blew a big lead and lost to Bill Walsh’s Stanford Cardinal in the Bluebonnet Bowl to finish 9-2-1. The following year, Georgia was 5-4 heading into the Auburn game. The Dogs were awful against the ACC, losing to Wake Forest, Clemson and Virginia, plus South Carolina. But undefeated in SEC play. Auburn rolled between the hedges to a 3313 win, again costing the Bulldogs a share of the conference crown with national champion Alabama. Winning the national championship in 1980 and following it up with two more SEC titles, Georgia was in the midst of its greatest era ever. The Bulldogs won three in a row over the Tigers, clinching each of those conference crowns against Auburn.

Despite the departure of Herschel Walker to the United States Football League, there was one more season left in the Bulldogs golden era. Georgia roared through the 1983 season into another titanic showdown with Auburn between the hedges. The 8-01 Bulldogs, who tied Clemson 16-16, and 81 Auburn, who lost to Texas, met in a clash of No. 3 vs. No. 4 with the SEC championship on the line. Behind a great defense and Bo Jackson’s running, Auburn prevailed 13-7 to hand the Bulldogs their lone loss of the season, winning the conference title and denying Georgia a fourth straight SEC crown. The Dogs would go on to beat Tech and beat Texas 109 in the Cotton Bowl to finish with a 10-1-1 mark and No. 4 national ranking. Auburn beat Alabama and nipped Michigan 9-7 in the Sugar Bowl, finishing No. 3. In both 1987 and 1988, Georgia went into the Auburn game at 7-2 with just one conference loss, needing a win over the Tigers to earn a piece of the SEC title. Both times, Georgia lost. The Tigers won 27-11 in Athens in 1987. The following year, Auburn came back to down the Bulldogs 20-10 on the plains. Losses to Auburn directly cost Georgia SEC titles in 1971, 1978, 1979, 1983, 1987 and 1988. That would mean 18 SEC championships for Georgia instead of 12, just on those six games alone. When the SEC split into divisions in 1992 and added a conference championship game, the Georgia-Auburn contest obviously couldn’t determine the direct winning of the league title. But the Bulldogs still had gutwrenching losses to the Tigers that proved very costly. After rolling over Florida in 1997, the Bulldogs soared into the top ten – and then lost to Auburn 45-34. Georgia came back to post three straight wins, including a memorable victory at Tech, finishing 10-2 and ranked No. 10. But that loss cost Georgia a major bowl game and the chance to finish in the top five nationally. Auburn was ranked third and Georgia fifth in 2004. After some missed early opportunities for Georgia, Auburn took control. The Tigers downed the Dogs 24-6, again costing eventual 10-2 Georgia a BCS berth. Auburn would post a perfect 13-0 record, finishing No. 2. A year later undefeated Georgia lost a 14-10 heartbreaker to Florida. After an open date, the Bulldogs fell in one of the most thrilling games ever at Sanford Stadium, with Auburn posting a last-second 31-30 win. Georgia would go on to earn a spot in Atlanta and knock off LSU to win the SEC championship, but the most devastating back-toback losses in Bulldog annals cost Georgia a possible shot at the national championship. These losses to Auburn cost Georgia a slew of championships and numerous places in the national rankings. Since that last heartbreaker to Auburn, Georgia has topped the Tigers four straight times. That included a 37-15 upset of No. 5 Auburn by the 6-4 Dogs in 2006. Though Auburn has taken more from Georgia than vice versa, Tiger faithful are quick to point out that the Bulldogs as underdogs, like in ’06, have done a great deal of damage to their old rival. In 1970, Auburn was 7-1, ranked eighth nationally, while the Bulldogs were 4-4. Georgia pulled off a major upset, stunning the Tigers 31-17 on the plains, costing Auburn a shot at the SEC title and an Orange Bowl berth. Auburn was 8-1, ranked eighth in 1986, while Georgia was 6-3 after losing to Florida. The Bulldogs held on for an electric 20-16 victory, one that will never be forgotten because Auburn officials turned water hoses on the Georgia section of Jordan-Hare Stadium after some Bulldog students ran on the field. There’s no series quite like Georgia – Auburn. These are two schools that have excelled in inflicting misery on the opposition. And for all of the classics, upsets, stunners, and road winners, a Georgia shocker Saturday would be the unlikeliest of triumphs in the south’s oldest continuous rivalry.

Can Dogs stun Tigers on Plains? Go to the plains of Auburn and the Tigers’ Jordan-Hare Stadium ranks with the top college venues in the nation. The sounds of “War Eagle” reverberate through this “Loveliest Village,” the Auburn marching band begins stoking the crowd early when it parades around the field booming out the fight song (“War Eagle … fly down the field”), and there is no more magnificent sight anywhere than when the Tigers’ famed eagle mascot soars into flight from high above the stadium and lands at midfield to the long, drawnout chant of “W-a-a-r-r Eagle, Hey!” And with a capacity of 87,451, which ranked 10th in the country before Alabama’s expansion bumped everyone down a notch, this place can also get very LOUD … believe you me! The above description of Auburn’s stadium is from an earlier column this football season, when I discussed the uniqueness of the different football facilities in the Southeastern Conference. And now, this coming Saturday into Jordan-Hare Stadium on the plains of Auburn, the Georgia Bulldogs will go. And what a different season this has been for these two ancient rivals, who will be colliding for the 114th time (Deep South’s oldest rivalry) at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in a game to be televised by CBS. And I don’t have to tell you how even this historic series has played out down through the years, what with Auburn ahead of Georgia by a single game. The Tigers have won 53 of the meetings, the Bulldogs have won 52 of them, and there have been eight ties. While Gene Chizik’s Auburn team has stormed to a perfect 10-0 season and a No. 2 BCS ranking with designs now on beating Georgia and state rival Alabama and playing in the BCS national championship game, Mark Richt’s Bulldogs have struggled to a 5-5 season record and must defeat either Auburn or arch-rival Georgia Tech to even earn a lower-tier bowl berth. That being the case, most Deep South football pundits say it will have to be the Yellow Jackets that Georgia will have to use as a stepping stone to a bowl invitation. Because, these same “experts” say, there’s no way the Bulldogs are going to be able to stop this runaway Auburn locomotive that has lit up the scoreboard on everyone and is led by bona fide Heisman Trophy candidate Cameron Newton. And why wouldn’t everybody think that way? Newton has come to the plains and simply brought dynamite to Gus Malzahn’s Tiger offense. After the Tigers’ homecoming romp over Chattanooga this past Saturday, the 6-6, 250-pound junior continues to lead the SEC in rushing with 176 carries for 1,146 yards. He is averaging 114.6 yards per game and 6.5 yards a carry. Newton has run for 15 touchdowns including a 71-yard jaunt. Owning a terrific 182.77 QB efficiency rating, Newton has also passed for 1,890 yards and 19 touchdowns. He has completed 123 of his 183 attempts (67.2 percent) with only five interceptions with one of his TD bombs going for 94 yards. Pretty impressive stuff I’d say and because of Newton’s explosiveness both running and throwing the football Chizik’s Tigers have rolled up point totals of 52, 17, 27, 35, 52, 37, 65, 24, 51 and 62. Thus, the mighty challenge confronting Todd Grantham’s Bulldog defense this coming Saturday afternoon. Good running and passing quarterbacks have generally given Georgia fits the past few seasons and now, the Bulldogs are getting ready to face arguably the best combo QB in the country. Most people are now aware of Newton’s background. He came out of Atlanta’s Westlake High School and headed for the University of Florida where he played behind the fabled Tim Tebow as a freshman in 2007 before being redshirted in 2008 after playing only in the Gators’ season opener against Hawaii. After running into off-the-field problems, Newton left Gainesville for Blinn College, a junior

www.bulldawgillustrated.com

college program in Brenham, Tex. There, Newton began to show his immense potential at the QB position, leading Blinn to the 2009 NJCAA national championship while passing for 2,833 yards and 22 touchdowns and rushing for 655 yards and 16 more scores. That brought him a No. 1 quarterback (high school or junior college) rating by Rivals.com and, of course, led to his signing with Auburn to play his final two seasons of eligibility. So how can the Bulldogs slow down this guy, you ask, when no previous Auburn opponent this season has been able to do so? I, for one, don’t really think this Georgia defense, which has surrendered point totals of 31, 24, 29, 31 and 34 this season – to much less formidable offenses than Auburn’s – can put the clamps on Mr. Newton and the Tigers’ offense. I again expect Auburn to put an ample number of points on the JordanHare scoreboard Saturday. But now that I’ve extolled the merits and capabilities of the Tigers’ attack and their great, to date, quarterback, I’m not quite joining in with the crowd that is saying Georgia can’t possibly win this football game. Conversely I’m saying, yes indeed, the Bulldogs can win at Auburn on Saturday, and here’s how: By beating the Tigers at their own game, that is, putting a bunch of points on the board and outscoring the other team. While I alluded above to the huge numbers Auburn has put on opposing defenses this season, I also now direct you to the point totals the Tiger defense has surrendered in those victories. Arkansas State got 26 on Auburn in the season opener, Clemson tallied 24 in a three-point overtime loss, South Carolina scored 27 in an eight-point defeat to the Tigers, Kentucky chalked up 34 in a three-point loss to Auburn, the Razorbacks of Arkansas lit up the scoreboard for 43 in that wild 65-43 thing with Auburn, and after the Tigers did limit LSU to 17 in a one-touchdown win, Ole Miss put 31 points on the board in the Rebels’ 51-31 loss to Auburn in Oxford. So what I’m saying here is that the Tigers can be scored on and that Auburn secondary can be passed on. Aaron Murray, who threw for a career-high 313 yards and three touchdowns in the tough 34-31 overtime loss to Florida two weekends ago – albeit with three picks – and his receiving corps of A.J. Green, Kris Durham, Tavarres King, Orson Charles, Aron White and the like should be able to find plenty of passing openings in the Auburn secondary and will surely have to take advantage of them and be in an attack mode against the Tiger defense the game long. If the Georgia passing game can produce plenty of yards and points and the Bulldog O-line can take command and also give Caleb King, Washaun Ealey and Carlton Thomas some good running space, then I truly believe Georgia can hang in there Saturday, win a score-athon with these Tigers and thereby send Auburn on to its finale in Tuscaloosa with a 10-1 season worksheet. And, too, you know how the history of this series favors the Dogs, what with Georgia having loads of success through the years down on the plains and Auburn, in turn, winning many, many times between the hedges. Only reason prior to the season why I picked Auburn to defeat the Bulldogs was because I concluded the Tigers would be chomping at the bit to snap a four-game losing string to Georgia. I’m sure that’s still the case and now, Auburn is also trying to protect its undefeated season while locking up a trip to the SEC title game on Saturday. So, can the Bulldogs put it all together for once, rise up and slay the Orange and Blue giants on Saturday or will this simply be another in a string of stinging losses for Georgia this season? We shall see.

Dogs vs. Tigers A tale of two different seasons for Georgia and Auburn, but upsets aren’t uncommon in South’s oldest rivalry By Jeff Dantzler

C

oming off a pair of easy tune-up wins, Georgia and Auburn renew the South’s oldest rivalry yet again at the loveliest village on the plains. This has been one of the most unique rivalries in college football through the years, filled with a slew of upsets and road victories. To pull off a double – the upset and road win, of which there have been several – it would take one of the biggest shockers in Bulldog history. In the midst of a highly disappointing 5-5 campaign, Georgia has a tremendous challenge against the powerhouse 10-0 Tigers, ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the various polls. The Bulldogs have won four straight in the series for the first time since a five-game winning streak from 1944-48. But behind a stellar recruiting class, the Tigers have soared to the top of the Southeastern Conference are three wins away (Georgia, Alabama and either South Carolina or Florida) from playing for the national title. Unfortunately for the Tigers, a week ago, some controversy cropped up. Auburn is dealing with the off-field distraction swirling around the recruitment of Heisman Trophy front-runner Cameron Newton, the standout quarterback who signed with Florida out of Atlanta’s Westlake High, transferred to junior college and then became a Tiger. The Auburn administration denies any wrongdoing. If there were distractions involving Newton last week, it certainly didn’t show on the gridiron. Known more for his running – Newton leads the Southeastern Conference in rushing – it was his passing that delivered the knockout blow to Chattanooga in the Tigers 62-24 rout this past Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium. By the 13:48 mark of the second quarter, Newton had thrown for four touchdowns and run for a score. He wound up with a season high 317 yards on 15 of 21 passing with the four TD’s. Auburn’s star freshman tailback Michael Dyer had four carries for 76 yards, and the shifty sophomore Onterio McCalebb had two totes for 55. Both ran for long scores. It is that powerful Auburn running game that poses the Bulldogs their greatest problems. This is a season of what might have been for Georgia. Several near-misses, including painful last minute losses to Arkansas, Colorado and Florida have the Bulldogs saddled with their worst record since 1996. The Bulldogs have not been able to beat top flight competition. The combined record of the five opponents Georgia has defeated is just 13-33.

Coming off a heartbreaking 34-31 loss to Florida in Jacksonville, the Bulldogs came home to a good crowd on a crisp Autumn Saturday between the hedges. Georgia steamrolled outmanned Idaho State 55-7, scoring five touchdowns in the second quarter. The Bulldogs have now scored over 30 points in five consecutive games for the first time in school history. That offense will have to score in bunches to keep up with high powered Auburn. The Bulldog defense has had some serious struggles this year, and Saturday will be far and away Georgia’s sternest test of the campaign. The Bulldogs were gashed by South Carolina’s freshman sensation Marcus Lattimore for 184 yards and two touchdowns in the Gamecocks 17-6 win in Columbia. The following week, future first round pick Ryan Mallett cut through the Georgia defense with a trio of touchdown passes, including a last second game winner for the Razorbacks, who prevailed 31-24 in Athens. Georgia couldn’t come up with a critical fourth quarter stop in a 24-12 loss at Mississippi State. Lowly Colorado hung 29 on the Bulldogs, with Rodney Stewart running for 148 yards in a two point Georgia loss in Boulder. Florida had a season high in rushing yardage in the Gators win over the Bulldogs. In the Gators prior game, they lost to Mississippi State 10-7. There haven’t been many games in recent Georgia history where the Bulldogs would have been a bigger underdog. Here are some match-ups that will largely tell Saturday’s tale: Georgia Offensive Interior vs. Nick Fairley

Fairley is one of the most dominating players in the Southeastern Conference. He is just a beast on the nose. In Auburn’s signature 24-17 win over LSU, Fairley was as important to the Auburn defense as Newton, the nation’s player of the week, was to the Tigers offense. Georgia’s center Ben Jones will be at the point of attack. Jones, Cordy Glenn and the other guard, whether its Kenarious Gates or Clint Boling, will have to slow down Fairley for the Bulldogs offense to generate any productivity. If Fairley is blowing up the middle of the line, Georgia is in for a long day. Rolling Aaron Murray by design, and he’s been very good on the move, could neutralize Fairley and give the Bulldogs big play opportunities.

Georgia Front and Safeties vs. Auburn Stable

Through the years, Auburn has boasted some of the most impressive collections of talent in offensive backfields. In the late ‘70s, Joe Cribbs, James Brooks and William Andrews, all future pro-bowlers played together. There was Bo Jackson and the “Little Train” Lionel James. Then Bo and Brent Fullwood. Auburn’s great 2004 team that Tommy Tuberville coached to a perfect 130 season, had a trio of first round picks in Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown and Jason Campbell. Now Auburn has Newton and Dyer, who both the potential to achieve the highest of accolades and honors, leading the way along with McCalebb and Mario Fannin as standout counter-punchers. Georgia didn’t tackle well at all against Lattimore and South Carolina. Florida’s quarterbacks had great success running against the Bulldogs. Georgia’s defense will have to gang tackle and hit hard to stay in the game. Will the front, the linebackers and those safeties be up to the challenge? A.J. and co. vs. Auburn Secondary

Auburn has given up points and yards this season, and Georgia should have the opportunity to move the ball and score. The big key is whether the defense can keep the Bulldogs in the game by slowing down Auburn’s awesome offense. A.J. Green, Orson Charles and Georgia’s secondary receivers will get some cracks with Murray to chalk up some big plays. And it’s going to take a lot. Auburn has scored at least 35 points in six of its past

Auburn scouting report

Top Tigers #5 Michael Dyer, TB 5-9, 215 Fr. Little Rock, Ark. Along with South Carolina’s freshman star Marcus Lattimore, Dyer was one of the two most sought after prep tailbacks in the country. They have both lived up to the hype. Dyer has teamed with Cameron Newton and fellow tailbacks Onterio McCalebb and Mario Fannin to give Auburn the country’s most powerful rushing attack. Dyer had his biggest game in Auburn’s 51-31 win at Ole Miss, as he carried 21 times for 100 yards and a touchdown. In the monster win over LSU the week prior, he backed up Newton’s incredible showing with 100 yards against one of the country’s toughest defenses. Dyer had 100 yards against South Carolina as well. McCalebb is very quick and awfully dangerous in the open field. Dyer is strong, fast and powerful. He could be a Heisman candidate one day, too.

Tigers national hopes hinch on taking down the Dawgs Location: Auburn, Ala. Conference: SEC Enrollment: 25,078 Record: 10-0 overall and 6-0 in the SEC following wins over Arkansas State (52-26), Mississippi State (17-14), Clemson (27-24, OT), South Carolina (35-27), Louisiana-Monroe (52-3), Kentucky (37-34), Arkansas (65-43), LSU (24-17), Ole Miss (51-31) and Chattanooga (62-24 ). Mascot: Tiger VII (eagle) and Aubie (costumed). Why Auburn could win: The Tigers are favored to Photograph by Ryan Scates boost their season record to 11-0 at the expense of the Bulldogs and thereby set the stage for their Nov. 26 showdown with arch-rival Alabama. And Auburn should win this game by doing what it’s done all season long, simply running roughshod over the opposing team’s defense and putting plenty of points up on the Jordan-Hare scoreboard. Having rushed for an SEC-best 1,146 yards and passed for 1,890 more this season, Tiger junior quarterback Cameron Newton should put up big numbers once again against a Georgia defense that has struggled with strong running QBs. Why Auburn could lose: Look at the Tigers’ wins this season. They’ve given up a bunch of points nearly every game and the Auburn secondary, especially, has been vulnerable to good passing quarterbacks. Aaron Murray, A.J. Green and the rest of the Bulldog receiving corps could likewise put up big numbers Saturday against the Tiger defense and if Todd Grantham’s Georgia defense is able to slow Newton and company just a little bit, then the Bulldogs are capable of leaving the plains with a stunning upset of the BCS 2nd-ranked Tigers. What Auburn’s coach is saying: Auburn head coach Gene Chizik, regarding an investigation of Mississippi State’s recruitment of Tiger quarterback Newton out of junior college: “Here is the situation. I will make it real clear like I did the other night. Unfortunately, I can’t talk about the incident. Cameron Newton is eligible here at Auburn. He played today, and he played great. That is where we are going to let it lie.� And Chizik talking further about Newton after the Auburn QB passed for a career-high 317 yards and four touchdowns and also ran for a score in the first half alone in the rout of Chattanooga: “Let me tell you something. This is a great kid. I can speak intelligently on that one. This is a great kid. You can go back and you can talk to elementary coaches, high school (coaches). This is a great kid, and he has been a great kid at Auburn University every day that he has been around me, this staff and his teammates, and you bet I don’t know what is out there, and I don’t know what hits you are talking about, but I can assure you this – this is a phenomenal young man. Make no mistake about that.� What Auburn’s players are saying: Auburn’s 6-8, 319-pound senior offensive tackle Lee Ziemba didn’t dwell much on the Chattanooga win with Georgia coming up Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium. “We tried to execute some things up front and I thought we did a pretty good job, but we still need to improve on some things before Georgia comes to town,� Ziemba said. “I thought we threw the ball more than we usually do. The second group came in there and did a great job moving the ball. The running backs ran hard and then Cam did his thing, as usual.� What Auburn’s fans are saying: “I think both Georgia and Alabama will be really tough,� commented one Tiger fan after the homecoming romp over Chattanooga. “Georgia is playing really well on D and just seems inspired. Bama seems to not be playing as a ‘team,’ but it’s a road game, and Bama’s fans have written the “Auburn will never win a national championship� check, and now they have to try to prevent us from cashing it. Georgia will too.� But boasted another long-time Auburn supporter: “If Georgia couldn’t stop Florida they sure won’t be stopping Auburn.� Noteworthy: This, the oldest rivalry in the Deep South, is almost dead-even when it comes to wins and losses. In the 113 meetings to date, Auburn has beaten Georgia 53 times, the Bulldogs have beaten the Tigers 52 times and there have been eight ties. Georgia enters Saturday’s game riding a rare four-game winning streak over Auburn, with that string starting in 2006 when freshman quarterback Matthew Stafford led the Bulldogs to a stunning 37-15 victory over the then 5th-ranked Tigers. Georgia downed Auburn in Athens last season by 3124. - Murray Poole

#90 Nick Fairley, DT 6-5, 298 Jr. Mobile, Ala. Fairley and LSU monster tackle Drake Nevis are the two premier interior defenders in the Southeastern Conference. And I can’t imagine anyone in the country, save Ohio State’s Cameron Heyward – a Georgia native – is in their defensive tackle class. Fairley single-handedly disrupted LSU’s offense in Auburn’s 24-17 win over the Bayou Bengals. Auburn’s defense has had its struggles, but since the tight wins over Clemson and Mississippi State, they’ve been on the field a lot because the offense is scoring so many points. Fairley is putting up sack and tackles for loss totals that are seen out of ends and outside linebackers like Justin Houston, not interior linemen. It’s similar to what Johnathan Sullivan did for Georgia in 2002, when he ranked behind only his AllAmerican end teammate David Pollack in the SEC for sacks and TFL’s. #2 Cameron Newton, QB 6-6, 250 Jr. College Park, Ga. America’s best player in 2010, Newton has a great chance to join Auburn legends Pat Sullivan and Bo Jackson as Heisman Trophy winning Tigers. Both Sullivan and Jackson put the finishing touches on their Heisman campaigns of 1971 and 1985 with monster performances against Georgia – both in Sanford Stadium. Newton has been at his best on the biggest of stages. Newton gashed LSU in a battle of unbeatens for 217 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries. He ran for 198 yards and four TD’s in a three-point win at Kentucky and chalked up 188 with three scores in a shootout runaway win over Arkansas. Those came in three successive weeks. In the monster win over South Carolina, New had 176 yards and three touchdowns. With Ole Miss then focused on the run, he threw for 209 yards and a pair of scores, while catching a touchdown. - Jeff Dantzler

Jeff Dantzler’s five keys for the Plains shocker 1. Contain Cam – Cameron Newton is putting together one of the most impressive seasons by any quarterback in the grand history of the Southeastern Conference. This 6-6, 250 pound speedy, shifty powerhouse can do it all. He’s of course best known for his incredible running ability, highlighted by a 217-rushing outburst against LSU. But Newton has a rocket arm, his touch is improving, and he even hauled in a touchdown reception at Ole Miss. Nobody has been able to slow him down this season. He’s going to produce. But for Georgia to succeed, the Bulldogs have to keep him from having a monster day.

ceivers in Darvin Adams. He has hands, excellent speed and is a precise route-runner. The Dogs will have to have all hands on deck to try and slow down this phenomenal beast of a running attack, which means a lot of man coverage on Adams. When the running game is rolling, Auburn can annihilate teams on the play-action pass. Adams is the top target. Brandon Boykin will have to be at his best in coverage and in run support.

4. Score . . . a lot – In Auburn’s last two Southeastern Conference games, the Tigers beat Arkansas 64-41 and Ole Miss 51-31. Even with a superb defensive effort, this offense is going to put up a lot of points, yards and constantly keep the defense on guard. That means that the Bulldogs offense is going to have to maximize every opportunity and put up a lot of points. 31 wasn’t enough against Florida. 41 might not be enough against Auburn, unless the Bulldogs can come up with a bunch of turnovers.

2. Manage McCalleb, and

Michael, Mario – Freshman sensation Michael Dyer, speedy sophomore Onterrio McCalleb and Mario Fannin give Auburn one of the top trio of running backs in the country to play alongside the dominating Newton. Dyer is good enough to one day win the Heisman Trophy. And what a recruiting class that would be, one that produces a pair of Heisman winners. Newton gets so much of the attention, but all of these backs can really go, especially Dyer. McCalleb isn’t real big, but he has excellent speed and phenomenal cutting ability. He’s lightning dangerous in the open field.

Hang Tough – If Georgia can hang around and have the game tight and close in the fourth quarter, maybe, just maybe, the Bulldogs can hit that big play and put the pressure on Auburn. There is the obvious history between Georgia and Auburn, a series that is full of monumental upsets. Plus the Bulldogs have won four in a row against the Tigers and Auburn has one of the biggest Iron Bowls ever on deck against Alabama. If the Dogs are down by double digits, Auburn’s running game will deliver a knockout blow and lopsided score. But if Georgia can hang around, the pressure will be on Auburn.

Game rewind: Georgia 55 Idaho State 7 By Murray Poole

If only the Bulldogs could take a bunch of these points to the plains this weekend. Erupting for a 35-point second quarter following a first quarter that produced only a couple of Blair Walsh field goals, Georgia assumed a 41-0 halftime lead and, as expected, went on to bury the FCS Idaho State Bengals 55-7 Saturday in sunsplashed but chilly Sanford Stadium. The victory marked the fifth consecutive game the Bulldogs have scored over 30 points, a new school record. The Bulldogs now head for Auburn Saturday trying to put a dent in 2nd-ranked Auburn’s perfect season. After blowing out Chattanooga 62-24 and climbing to 10-0, the Tigers will host Georgia at 3:30 p.m. in a CBS-televised game at Jordan-Hare Stadium. After the Georgia offense proved sluggish in the opening period Saturday – perhaps still saddled with a hangover from the bitter overtime loss to Florida the previous week – the Bulldogs kicked it into high gear in the second quarter, tallying touchdowns via a 3-yard run by Caleb King, a 39-yard pass interception by Bacarri Rambo, a 3-yard pass from Aaron Murray to A.J. Green, a 46-yard touchdown strike from Murray to Green and a 6-yard pass from Murray to tight end Bruce Figgins ‌ Figgins’ second touchdown reception of his UGA career. Walsh’s field goals in the first quarter came on kicks of 38 and 53 yards, the latter equaling the longest of Walsh’s career. The Bulldogs then added just two scores in the second half on a 1-yard plunge by Shaun Chapas and a 30-yard interception return by Vance Cuff. “We did a nice job today,â€? said Georgia head coach Mark Richt. “We started off a little slow offensively, but the defense did a good job of making plays. We had a pick-six and another interception, and after that, the offense got into the flow. The defense and special teams really did ignite this thing today. “Aaron started a little shaky,â€? Richt added, “but we then got a couple of touchdowns on the board and Aaron started putting the ball on the money.â€? What Worked

The Bulldogs simply took care of business in this glorified scrimmage and tune-up for the Auburn Tigers. With Murray and Green putting up big numbers in the first half, Georgia roared into the 41-zip lead at intermission and that allowed Richt and his assistant staff to clear the bench in the final two quarters ‌ just as this script called for. And defensively, even against a 1-AA team, you have to say it was a pretty stout day for Todd Grantham’s unit as the Bulldogs blanked the Bengals until Idaho State connected on a touchdown pass

with just 8:51 remaining and limited the visitors to only 151 yards total offense and eight first downs. The Bengals could complete just seven-of-32 passing attempts with the Georgia secondary recording three interceptions. What Didn’t Work

Not much to complain about but considering the opponent – an FCS one-win team that would get blown out by Georgia’s scout team – the Bulldogs didn’t exactly knock the Bengals off the line of scrimmage when it came to running the football. Georgia managed only 181 yards on the ground and both the Bulldogs’ O-line and running backs will certainly have to step it up against the Auburn defensive front this coming Saturday. Top Performers

Despite playing only one series into the third quarter, Murray and Green had productive afternoons as the Georgia redshirt freshman completed 19-of-27 attempts for 228 yards and a career-high tying three touchdowns and Green snared six passes for 103 yards and the two touchdowns. It was the sixth 100-yard receiving day of Green’s career. Carlton Thomas, taking over after Caleb King and Washaun Ealey had retired for the day, led the Bulldogs in rushing with 64 yards on 14 carries. Defensively, Christian Robinson and Akeem Dent led Georgia’s balanced effort with four tackles each before turning the game over to the backups. Rambo and Cuff had their pick-sixes and Brandon Boykin also had an interception. Freshman Alec Ogletree, making his first start in the secondary, responded with three tackles and a blocked Bengal punt, and Branden Smith had a 40-yard punt return to set up a Georgia touchdown while also having three carries for 27 yards for the Bulldog offense.

Mighty Auburn on Tap

Not only will the Tigers be out to protect their perfect 2010 slate this Saturday when these two old rivals collide for the 114th time, Auburn will also undoubtedly be primed to avenge four consecutive losses to the Bulldogs. “We’re excited about the game with Auburn,� said Richt. “Every man on the team, I’m sure even before the clock hit zeroes, was thinking about going to Auburn and playing this game. We want the opportunity to play the No. 1 or No. 2 team in the country. I hope they get voted No. 1. I would love to play a No. 1.� “Auburn is a great team, and we are looking forward to the game,� said A.J. Green. “It’s going to be a great challenge but also a great opportunity.� Photograph by Rob Saye

A major(ette) sweep for the Dawgs UGA Majorettes win collegiate national championships By Colleen Murphy, UGA Majorette Captain

A

clean sweep. This is what the University of Georgia Majorettes accomplished this past July after winning three National Championship titles, including the entire collegiate division at the annual America’s Youth on Parade competition (AYOP) held in South Bend, IN. “It was an unbelievable experience, definitely something we will never forget,� said Taylor Brown, a junior from Bowdon, GA. Brown is one of the seven young women that made up the competition team that performed two different routines at AYOP. The halftime routine, which is judged based on entertainment value, was a bulldawg rendition of Can-Can featuring props that created a “Big Dawg Saloon� atmosphere for the audience. The more serious dance-twirl routine was a sophisticated Spanish theme, where the majorettes emphasized difficulty and intricacy of tricks. The majorettes also won the WOW Award for being the most entertaining collegiate team. Sophomore Mary Katelyn Williams from Jesup, GA said that the routines were “a crowd pleaser – the audience definitely got into our performances.� AYOP draws many competitors including other university majorette lines such as Penn State and the University of Florida. To win over these other prestigious schools, the UGA majorettes put in their fair share of hard work. They practiced twice a week during the past spring semester and every other weekend this past summer. “Although it was a big time commitment, it was so worth it to see our hard work pay off,� said junior Leslie Koch from Knoxville, TN. And the rewards keep on coming for these national champions. The team was presented before halftime at UGA’s first football game of the season in Sanford Stadium, as well as receiving National Championship rings from their coach, Ashley Clark. Also, several billboards in Athens, GA feature a picture of the majorettes along with their winning titles. The rings and billboards were “a total surprise,� said KayLeigh Gaines, a sophomore from Lavonia, GA, “we were so excited.� Now the majorettes are focused on performing on the football field. They perform pre-game and halftime at every UGA football game as part of the Redcoat Marching Band. They strive to wow the crowds with their winning performances for the rest of the season while cheering on the Dawgs!

Kevin Butler’s players of the game Kevin Butler, former University of Georgia legendary kicker and a member of the Georgia radio broadcast team, will each week during the 2010 football season select his offensive, defensive and special teams players of the week for Bulldawg Illustrated. Here are Butler’s selections and reasons why for the Bulldogs’ 55-7 win over Idaho State Saturday. OFFENSE – Senior tackle Clint Boling, whose leadership in Georgia’s offensive line helped the Bulldogs total 450 yards of offense in the rout of the Bengals.

“I think Clint not only in this game but all season long has been a leader and does whatever he’s asked to do,� said Butler. “After a slow offensive start, Clint got animated on the sidelines and got the offensive line going and focused and certainly led them by example by pushing around a lesser defense and taking control of the game.� DEFENSE – Freshman strong safety Alec Ogletree, who started the first game of his career for Georgia and responded with three tackles and a blocked punt.

“Our overall defensive performance in this game was everything it should have been,� said Butler. “And Alec performed well, hustled and was a factor in the disruption of Idaho State’s passing attack. For his first start, he certainly did what he was asked to do. We expect Alec to get better every week and become a force in our secondary moving forward.� SPECIAL TEAMS – Sophomore cornerback/punt return specialist Branden Smith, who returned a punt 40 yards to set up one Georgia touchdown and also lined up at tailback on offense and rushed for 27 yards on just three carries.

“Branden’s speed on the specialty teams brings another dimension to our punt returns,� said Butler. “When you look at Brandon Boykin on kickoffs and Smith on punt returns, they could be one of the toughest tandems in college football for return specialists. And we’ll need Branden’s big-play ability to rise to the top this week against Auburn.� Photograph by Rob Saye

Bulldawg Illustrated

His Foundation: Mother, Sandra Davis

Bulldawg leader: Josh Davis Georgia offensive lineman credits Jeff Owens and Clint Boling as being peers who pushed him

Parents names: Sandra Davis. Siblings names: Keith, 34; Erica, 29.

By Murray Poole

S

enior tackle Josh Davis has been a stable in Georgia’s offensive line since enrolling at the university back in 2006. After being redshirted that first year, the 6-6, 310-pound Jayess, Miss. native appeared in eight games during the 2007 season and then played in 12 games in 2008 while making three starts. In 2009 Davis appeared in only six games and started in all six after earlier having shoulder surgery in January and missing spring practice. This season, Davis has started at right tackle in eight of the Bulldogs’ 10 outings. In this question-and-answer session with Davis and his mom, Sandra Davis, Georgia fans are given a personal insight into the player who wears No. 78 for the Red and Black.

Main attribute that makes Josh a leader: Josh leads by example. He’s always worked hard and even now tries to set an example for others. Best childhood story: When Josh was about three years ago, we were at prayer meeting at church. Well, his dad was praying and it was one of those long prayer sessions. Josh looked at me and said, “Momma, daddy’s talking loud but he’s not saying nothing!” That was really funny and when people in our church today get up and become long-winded with a prayer, people always remember when Josh said that to his dad.

What do you view as the most important quality in being a leader for the team? To be a leader, I think you just have to be consistent. With the season we’re having things are not going great, but you still need to come in and lead every day.

Best thing about his time at Georgia: I have seen Josh grow from “I don’t know where this child is going to make it or not,” to all of a sudden having a big turnaround. Josh is now very mature and has really grown as a young man, and I’m so proud of him.

Who do you consider to be the most important mentor in your life so far, and why? I don’t know if I’ve ever had a real mentor and I guess it would have to be my mom. She’s had the biggest influence on my life. My dad died when I was 13 but mom never missed a step. She made sure we had everything we needed. She told me to stick with my core values and everything would work out fine. What fellow player on the team motivates you to be the best you can be and why is that the case? My best friend was Jeff Owens (former UGA defensive tackle). When I didn’t believe in myself at times, Jeff kept telling me to keep my head up, keep working, keep swinging and I would do something good. He came in (at Georgia) a year before I did … Jeff came in 2005 and I came here in ’06. Jeff really always supported me. And a guy on the team right now who’s really pushed me is Clint Boling. We try to do everything the right way and when things are not going right, we each look at the other and push each other and make sure everything goes in the right direction. What is the best play or game you’ve had while at Georgia and why? It would definitely be the Kentucky game this year and the Georgia Tech game last season. Everything was going right for us in those games. All five of the offensive linemen were just clicking in both of those games and that’s when the rushing yards came.

Nicest thing he’s ever done for you: Josh is always considerate to me and has always helped me take care of my mom. And he always remembers me on special occasions. Photograph by Rob Saye

Our technique and effort were good those nights and it allowed us to come out on top. When you leave Georgia, what do you hope folks say about your contribution to the program? I just hope that when I leave here, the coaches will say here’s a guy who did everything the right way for Georgia and put the team first at all times. I hope the coaches can point me out to the younger guys and tell them I did things the right way. What regular Georgia opponent do you enjoy playing the most and why? I love playing Georgia Tech. Being from Mississippi, I didn’t know anything about Georgia until I got here but it took only a couple of days to experience how intense the rivalry with Georgia Tech is. The Tech game this year will be my last regular season game and my last game in Sanford Stadium ever. There will be a lot of emotion down on that field and we want to go out with a “W.”

Women of UGA LinkedIn Lunch & Learn

A few things about Josh outside of football: There’s not much he does outside of football. He enjoys coming home to be with his family when he can and always makes our time together worthwhile. Most entertaining story about UGA fans: Georgia football fans are wild and I just love the spirit they have. And I’ve really made good friends with some of the players’ moms, like Geno Atkins and Jeff Owens’ moms. What has Coach Richt meant to Josh? I just think Josh has seen in Coach Richt everything a man should be. He has great character and Josh just really admires Coach Richt.

Jeff Dantzler’s Top 25 Auburn and Oregon are on a collision course for the national championship. There are still roadblocks out there for both, especially Auburn’s trip to Tuscaloosa, but if both win out, the Ducks and Tigers will meet in Glendale, Ariz. If one gets tripped up, then the door could be open for TCU to play for the big prize. This is one of those seasons when a lot of college football’s traditional powers are having down years. At the top of that list is Texas. The Longhorns flat out got embarrassed at Kansas State after losing back-to-back home games to Iowa State and Baylor. 1. Auburn – The distraction of the Cameron Newton saga has been tough on the Tigers. Auburn is a perfect 10-0 and now come the big two rivals, Georgia and Alabama. With Newton leading the way, Auburn has the country’s most dominating running attack. 2. Oregon – Washington hung around with the Ducks for a while, but Oregon blew things wide open in the second half. It was 25-16, then next thing you know Oregon had hung up “half a hundred” again. 3. LSU – The Fightin’ Tigers have won a pair of national championships in the 2000s, and Saturday’s thrilling 24-21 victory over Alabama goes down as one of LSU’s biggest wins of the past 10 years. Now the Tigers must avoid the upset against Ole Miss. 4. Texas Christian – The shellacking of Utah goes down as one of the biggest wins in school history for the Horned Frogs. TCU and Utah were both in the top five, and the Frogs responded with an incredibly impressive effort. If Auburn or Oregon fall, TCU has a crack to play for all the marbles. 5. Stanford – Jim Harbaugh has led a remarkable turnaround on the farm. Stanford’s only loss is to Oregon. The defense is strong and the offense is one of the country’s best. Andrew Luck is the trigger man, one of the nation’s best passers. 6. Nebraska – Big Red got a big time scare from Iowa State, which nearly pulled off back to back wins over Texas and Nebraska. But the faked two-point attempt came up short. Nebraska has firepower at quarterback and tailback, and the Big XII title is within their sights. 7. Oklahoma State – The Cowboys put up one of their most impressive wins in many years, blowing out Baylor 55-28. Oklahoma State, Baylor and Oklahoma all came into Saturday with one loss in the Big XII South, so the win was obviously huge. 8. Alabama – It was one of those instant classics in Baton Rouge, as Alabama came up short to LSU 24-21. There will be no national or Southeastern Conference championship defense for the Crimson Tide in 2010. 9. Boise State – The Broncos had no problems on the blue turf with Hawaii, which had to make the trip to the cold of the mainland. Nevada is the only legitimate threat to derail Boise State’s perfect season, but TCU is the “non-BCS” team that is in the lead for a crack at the national title. 10. Michigan State – Bouncing back from a blowout loss at Iowa, Michigan State came back in workmanlike fashion, easily defeating hapless Minnesota. Everyone has at least one loss in the Big Ten, so a share of the conference championship is well within reach for the men in green. 11. Wisconsin – Things got a little hairy for the Badgers early, but Wisconsin was able to come back and behind the Badgers power game, dominate Purdue. Wisconsin has lost only to Michigan State and has the Rose Bowl in their sights. 12. Ohio State – After blowing out Minnesota, the Buckeyes had an open date. Up next is Penn State in the horseshoe. Ohio State has its eyes on the Rose Bowl. Cameron Heyward is one of the best defensive linemen in the country.

From Formal

B= ==B0/::

13. Arkansas – Bobby Petrino got another signature win, as his Razorbacks destroyed South Carolina in Columbia. Ryan Mallett is one of the most dynamic passers in the country and the Hogs have found a running game and an improved defense. 14. Mississippi State – What an outstanding season for Mississippi State so far. The Maroons have beaten Georgia and Florida and sit at 7-2. Now Alabama, coming off the emotional loss in Baton Rouge, hosts MSU in Tuscaloosa. 15. Arizona – The Wildcats were overrun by Stanford. Arizona still has a shot at an outstanding season and a good bowl game, but the PAC-10 title hopes are all gone. Mike Stoops slowly but surely has Arizona turned around. 16. Iowa – Coming off of that impressive blowout of Michigan State, the Hawkeyes got a scare from Indiana. Iowa survived 18-13, and now the Hawkeyes have to avoid the sleepwalk in Evanston against Northwestern. 17. Utah – It was the biggest game in the history of Mountain West, but the “Runnin’ Utes” got blitzed by TCU. The Horned Frogs jumped all over Utah and handed the Utes an embarrassing home loss. Kyle Whittingham has an outstanding program in Salt Lake, but the Horned Frogs are the kings of the Mountain West. 18. Virginia Tech –The Hokies are sitting pretty in the ACC Coastal, on the verge of clinching the division title after their 28-21 Thursday night victory over the Yellow Jackets. Tyrod Taylor is having an outstanding year, and the Hokies are making big plays on defense and with the kicking game. 19. Nevada – The Wolfpack blew out Idaho Saturday night, rolling behind the pistol offense. Nevada is the only team that has a legitimate chance to knock off Boise State. The Pack visits Fresno State Saturday night. 20. Florida – After the open date, the Gators pulled out an emotional 34-31 victory over Georgia in Jacksonville, and then blew away Vanderbilt 55-14. Now comes the game that will determine the SEC East champ, as the Gators host South Carolina. 21. Southern Cal – Lane Kiffin and company escaped with an exciting last second win over Arizona State Saturday night. Matt Barkley is having an outstanding year, he’s one of the best quarterbacks in a league loaded with outstanding signal callers. 22. Oklahoma – Only Florida had more talent to replace than the Sooners, who had three of the top four picks in the draft. Oklahoma hasn’t lost to the likes of Missouri and Texas A&M very much in the highly successful Bob Stoops era. 23. South Carolina – If the Gamecocks beat Florida in the swamp, they go to the SEC Championship Game for the first time in history. South Carolina is limping to Florida after getting slaughtered by Arkansas. But Steve Spurrier will have his team ready. 24. Missouri – Tommy Tuberville’s Texas Tech Red Raiders chalked up a big time victory, taking down Missouri. That’s a big plus for Nebraska in the race for the Big XII North Championship. Mizzou has a good offense and still has a chance at a good bowl game. 25. Baylor – Coming off of that emotional win over Texas, things didn’t set up well for the Bears going to Stillwater. Oklahoma State rolled past Baylor, but this is still a fantastic resurgence for the once proud Baylor program.

Gruff & Grump By Chad White and Al Hickson

Let’s get it done on the Plains The Dawgs beat up good on the worst team we can ever remember watching inside of Sanford Stadium. Without trying to take away from any of the good play and without trying to be disrespectful, we can not help but feel this way. Idaho State was small, slow and had a quarterback with an arm no stronger than ours. It really was amazing that we had such a team on our schedule. These games are so boring and seem to serve such little purpose aside from a guaranteed victory. That was actually quite welcome after all that has transpired this season. While evening the record at 5-

Westlake High School star was offered by Coach Richt and the gang as a tight end, originally. We would sure feel better about this game if he were buried somewhere behind Orson Charles on our depth chart trying to learn to block. Instead, he has settled in quite well to his current residence after a merry go round of stops from his first two years of his college experience. Not a game goes by without Mr. Newton showing off his exceptional skills as a quarterback. Whether running or throwing, this guy could be more dangerous than any player we have faced since Coach Richt arrived in Athens. Todd Grantham

5, all phases of the game performed decently well. Though, the offense found it difficult once again to get going coming up with only two field goals in the first quarter. From that point on, an avalanche began that could only be stopped when the time expired. Both the defense and special teams outscored the potato people. Yawn is all we can really say. Just too boring to discuss any further. Up next is the hated Auburn Tigers. We have had our way with this bunch the past four years, winning every contest. Mark Richt has led our team on what is, surely, one of the best runs against this border rival. Just across the state line to the southwest, Auburn awaits us in that cow field we have visited so many times. This trip finds the enemy sitting at 10-0 and ranked #2 in the current BCS poll. Weather may be the only element that can slow down their offense. The Heisman Trophy could very well find its way to the campus in east Alabama if Cameron Newton remains on the roll he has enjoyed every time he has laced them up this season. He is a quarterback from right in our backyard in Atlanta. The

and our defense will definitely have their hands full. Though, there has arisen a bit of a storm surrounding his recruitment. Since, it has been learned the NCAA is investigating the situation. We know all about these things. Who knows what will come from this and who it really involves. But all we know is Auburn is notorious and a true Dawg fan should always assume the worst with them. Because of this and our hatred of this school alone, we are not backing away from insisting where there’s smoke, there’s fire. The season can’t really be salvaged but beating an Auburn team two games away from playing for all the marbles and becoming the reason they won’t do such would be a great thing. Certainly, the Dawg Nation could find itself galvanized if we can pull it out.

Let’s get it done on the plains Go Dawgs!
