Thoughts on the D so far? (Or how the early suspensions might effect it?)

Also any word yet on Rambo or Ogletree?

I'm pumped about the defense. We may end up having the best front 7 in all of college football. We have excellent depth at D line, which is a big plus.

There's talk that Rambo and Ogletree will only miss one game, I'll believe it when I see it. Even with the suspensions, I think we should be fine for the first four games.

Offense should be okay. If Shaw will just play smart football, we should be able to win between eight and ten. We have a pretty deep backfield this year. Lattimore, Miles, Wilds, Carson, and Davis should be pretty good. The jury is out on our offensive line and receivers. Our tight ends are looking solid. Justice Cunningham and Rory Anderson have had a good fall camp, as has newcomer Jerrell Adams, who has been receiving high praise from Spurrier. Another new comer to keep an eye on is Shaq Roland at WR. Spurrier seems to be high on him.

Defensively, we should have a good line and a decent secondary. I fear teams maybe able to run on us as we appear weak at linebacker.

All in all, no excuse for us not to hit at least eight wins. I'll be back for my crow if we fall flat on our face, which is possible.

Supposedly, Morgan Newton took a snap and managed a 5 step drop without tripping over his own feet, which is promising. Also, the team went out for ice cream and a pool party last week for good effort in practice.

Kicking ass and taking names in Lexington.

As a Michigan State fan as well as a Vol fan, Denard can't do anything against good defenses. The Spartans have a great D, and they shut him down every time they play. Alabama has an even more talented D. Denard is so one- dimensional that it's hilarious. Outstanding athlete, but he is in no way a good quarterback. Plus, Saban was the former coach of the Spartans, so he understands the whole Michigan mentality. Plus, he has had forever to prepare for it. I picture the Capital One Bowl game against Michigan State happening again except this time, Saban won't call off the dogs.

Thank you.

Yes sir, I will definitely be there. I hope this is better than our trip there in 2008. I am a bit worried about this game. I feel like we should have a good season, but there is always a possibility that we may fall flat on our faces.

That first game is always nerve wrecking for me also. Vandy usually plays you guys tough for some reason, but I think yall gut stomp them this year now that Franklynn has a year of tape out there.

If they are available for the Mizzou game then you should be fine. If not, that game could get interesting.

A co-worker emailed me this just now. I guess it's from Rivals? Looks like the Dawgs aren't looking so hot right now.

As he sat down to address the media following Wednesday's second scrimmage at Sanford Stadium, Georgia coach Mark Richt took a moment to preface what he was about to say.

"I'm gonna guard my words a little bit," Richt mumbled, before rattling off some statistics, not all of which could be considered positive.

Neither side of the ball was spared.

On offense, even quarterbacks Aaron Murray and Hutson Mason drew his coach's ire.

Murray completed 8 of 14 passes for 158 yards and a touchdown, while Mason completed 8 of 18 for 67 yards and a score.

However, all Richt cared to talk about was the fact that each of the two threw an interception and lost a fumble, two of five fumbles the Bulldog offense committed during the 90-minute scrimmage, the team's second of the pre-season.

"They can make up an excuse if they want to, but the bottom line is - it's just like we told the running backs - when we run a play, you better bring it back to the manager, "Richt said. "I don't care if the whistle blew and it comes out. The ball never comes out."

Murray and Mason weren't the only quarterbacks with turnover issues.

Christian LeMay (who also had an interception) and Parker Welch also lost the ball, as did backup running back Brandon Harton.

"I saw some good things. There were some good things, but I saw a lot of bad things. There were three picks, just bad interceptions, bad throws - well, one that Corey (Moore) made was a good play so I'll give him that," Richt said. "But every time the quarterback got touched they fumbled the ball. They're not supposed to get tackled, but sometimes they'll get touched. Every time they got hit or touched a little bit they fumbled the ball. I wasn't too happy about that."

Neither was Murray.

"We've been pretty sharp all camp and haven't really thrown many interceptions. We had been doing a good job not fumbling, but today we didn't do as good a job with that," Murray said. "There were a couple of fumbles in the pocket, not keeping two hands on the ball at all times. We've just got to be more careful. When you've got those big bodies moving around you, you've really got to be sure you're protecting the ball."

Richt's barbs weren't relegated to the just the play of his offense.

The Bulldog coach lamented that the first-team defense allowed the second-team offense to drive the length of the field before scoring on a pass from Mason to freshman Blake Tibbs.

"Our No. 2 offense drove the field on our No. 1 defense and scored a touchdown - that was Tibbs' touchdown on a throw from Hutson . Harton broke a tackle in the backfield for a big first down to spark the drive. I didn't like that much," Richt said. "The No. 1 offense started out great, but after the No. 2 offense scored, the No. 2 defense stoned the No. 1 offense the next three drives and the one-minute drive. …The No. 1 defense got scored on at the goal line…I didn't like that."

Richt conceded there were a couple of positive notes, but even those did not appear to sweeten his mood.

For the second straight week, freshman running back Todd Gurley led all rushers with seven carries for 87 yards and two touchdowns, including one of 66 yards. Fellow frosh Keith Marshall also had a big day, rushing five times for 62 yards, including one of 56 yards.

Richard Samuel and Ken Malcome also enjoyed good days, rushing for 40 and 35 yards, respectively, and scoring one touchdown apiece.

Wide receiver Chris Conley led all receivers with four catches for 114 yards and a touchdown of 70 yards.

"I'm thankful for Coach (Mike) Bobo giving me some opportunities. I had some more deep plays, they put me in the slot and threw to me underneath a lot. I made some plays on the outside, some on the inside and I made some intermediate plays, "Conley said. "It was a good scrimmage for me - different areas of the field - I got to use a lot of different parts of my game."

Defensively, linebacker Chase Vasser led the way with three sacks, while freshman Josh Harvey-Clemons had four tackles, along with an interception and a sack.

"There were some nice plays and I think the running backs ran well, but like I told the team, I thought we looked 'good,' like a pretty good team. But you know, pretty good is about 8-4, but I don't even know if that's pretty good, maybe 9-3, but you know we'd like to do better than 8-4, 9-3, but that's about how we played today. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't great, either," Richt said. "Was there a great effort every play, No? Was there great effort lot of time? Yeah. Was every guy busting his tail every play? No. I don't know. I didn't see a team that was ready to be great. I saw a team that just wanted to be pretty good. I wasn't that thrilled about it."

Your title last year was in 2012, not 2011. Way to fail at calendar reading. Bama education, smh.
