2011 Spring Outlook

To say Georgia’s 2012 football season begins with the spring practice would be inaccurate. According to Coach Mark Richt, it began around 6 p.m. the evening of Jan. 2 in Tampa, Fla. That’s when the 2011 Bulldogs pulled off the pads for the last time, minutes after their triple-overtime loss to Michigan State in the Outback Bowl. In the locker room, Richt thanked the members of the senior class for their leadership during the 10-4 campaign that included an SEC Eastern Division title. He then reminded the Class of 2012 that their watch had started. “Every year has a new challenge,” Richt said. “Every year, you have a new team. I knew when we left the Outback Bowl that team was gone and we’d never see it again. Every year brings new dynamics, new leadership, new chemistry, new unity. As coaches and players, we get to build it all over again.” Richt then paused and noted that some aspects of Georgia’s process will not be new: “We will try to get better on a daily basis, so that we can compete at the highest level we can when we get there.” The next step in that process is spring practice, 15 days of workouts that will culminate with the annual G-Day Game in San-ford Stadium on April 14. As the Bulldogs head into camp, there is plenty of reason for optimism. Georgia will return 15 starters from the 2011 squad whose 10-game winning streak was the school’s first since the1980s.Offensively, theBulldogs return their lead-ing passer, rusher and receiver, while the defense boasts 2011’s top performers in terms of tackles, sacks and interceptions. Arethereholestofill?Ofcourse.Everyteamdealswiththat,and newcomers will arrive this summer to bolster the depth chart. But the nucleus is in place for the Bulldogs to maintain their po-sition among the nation’s elite, and that group will strengthen its place during the upcoming spring practices. Competition breeds success, and that’s what Richt wants to see during March and April. “I feel like everyone’s excited about the future,” Richt said. “We’reallmovingforward.(Atthefirstteammeeting),wetalkedabout where we are and where we’re going, and I thought it was received well. As always, we want to compete in such a way and prepare in such a way that we have a chance to win every time we go out. Those goals won’t change. We want to win the East and have a shot at the SEC and a shot at the next one. That won’t change for us.”

QUARTERBACKS Aaron Murray (6-1, 211, Jr.) has established himself as one of the nation’s top quarterbacks, and he will enter the 2012 season as an All-America and All-SEC candidate. Last season, Murray completed 238-of-403 passes for 3,149 yards – giving him two straight years of 3,000-plus yards. He connected on 35 touchdown passes to set the school’s single-season record. Murray added two touchdowns rushing to establish the UGA mark for touchdown re-sponsibility at 37. Among SEC quarterbacks, Murray ranked sec-ondinpassingyardspergameandtotaloffenseandfifthinpassingefficiency.MurraywasnamedAll-SECFirstTeambyESPN.comand Phil Steele and Second Team by the Associated Press and the league’scoaches.Off thefield,Murraywasselectedfor theCo-SIDA Academic All-District Team. Hutson Mason (6-3, 196, Jr.) backed up Murray a year ago, seeing action in four games. Mason hit on 18-of-30 passes for 254 yards and two TDs in 2011 and is planning on redshirting this sea-son to create a year of separation between he and Murray. Christian LeMay (6-2, 198, RFr.) impressed Georgia’s coaches during his redshirt season and will enter the mix this spring. Florida native Faton Bauta (6-3, 225, Fr.) enrolled early is going through offsea-son conditioning and spring drills with the Bulldogs. Parker Welch (6-3, 204, RSo.), Greg Bingham (6-4, 223, RSo.) and Michael Tam-buro (5-11, 196, Jr.) are back and bring some additional depth.

RUNNING BACKS Heading into spring practice, tailback appears to be one of the deepest positions on the team. In 2011,Georgia’s topfive leadingrushers were tailbacks, and each player is returning this season. In ad-dition, the Bulldogs will be adding an early enrollee for spring drills. Isaiah Crowell (5-11, 215, So.) earned 2011 Freshman All-America and SEC Freshman of the Year honors as he rushed for 850yardsandfivetouchdowns.CrowellwaschosenastheSECFreshman of the Week four times in 12 weeks. Carlton Thomas (5-7, 163, Sr.) followed Crowell with 361 yards and two touch-downs. The Bulldogs also got 247 yards and a touchdown from Brandon Harton (5-6, 174, Jr.), 240 yards and a touchdown from Richard Samuel (6-2, 243, Sr.) and 174 yards from Ken Malcome (6-0, 226, RSo.). Each tailback, except for Harton, started at least one game in 2011. Keith Marshall (5-11, 190, Fr.) will throw his hat in the ring after enrolling in January. Marshall was rated by one recruiting service as the nation’s top high school running back after gaining 4,552 yards and 55 touchdowns during his career in North Carolina. The Bulldogs also will return Kyle Karempelis (5-9, 180, So.) and Alex Parsons (5-10, 194, Jr.). With the graduation of Bruce Figgins, Alexander Ogletree (5-10, 224, Jr.) enters the spring as the Bulldogs’ only experienced player at fullback. Georgia also will evaluate Dustin Royston (5-11, 242, Jr.), Merritt Hall (5-11, 216, RFr.), Greg Mulkey (6-3, 230, RFr.), Drew Wilson (6-2, 206, Jr.) and Chris Young (6-1, 230, Jr.).

WIDE RECEIVERS Excluding tight ends, theBulldogs return their topfive re-ceivers from a year ago. Tavarres King (6-1, 192, Sr.) paced the Bulldogs with 47 re-ceptions for 705 yards and eight touchdowns in 2011. He capped the season with six grabs for a single-game school record tally of 205 yards and a score in the Outback Bowl. Malcolm Mitchell (6-1, 184, So.) followed with 45 catches for 665 yards and four touch-downs to earn Freshman All-SEC recognition. The Bulldogs also return Michael Bennett (6-3, 208, So.), Chris Conley (6-3, 202, So.) and Marlon Brown (6-5, 222, Sr.). Bennett had 32 catches for 320yardsandfivetouchdowns,Conleyadded16for288andtwoscores, while Brown had 15 for 234 and three touchdowns. Rantavious Wooten (5-10, 185, Jr.) returns for 2012 after missing most all last season with a concussion. Also back are let-termen Taylor Bradberry (6-3, 192, Sr.) and Rhett McGowan (6-0, 190, RSo.). This spring, Georgia’s coaches will also look at Justin Scott-Wesley (5-11, 218, RFr.) who is running track for the Bull-dogs in addition to his football duties. Michael Erdman (5-10, 191, RSo.), Jamal Payette (6-3, 183, RFr.), Evan Wells (6-1, 174, RFr.) and Curtis Wyatt (6-1, 195, So.) bring additional depth.

TIGHT ENDS This position was hit hard with the early departure of Orson Charles to the NFL and the graduation of Aron White. Charles and White were the only tight ends with catches last year, as Charles hauledin45for574yardsandfivetouchdownsandWhiteaddednine for 101 yards and four scores.Charles finished the seasonwithAll-AmericaandAll-SECrecognitionandasafinalistfortheJohn Mackey Award as the country’s best tight end. Arthur Lynch (6-5, 272, Jr.) appeared in all 14 games last season and had a start, primarily in blocking situations and on special teams. Jay Rome (6-6, 254, RFr.), who joined the basketball team after foot-ball season, turned heads during his redshirt campaign. The Bulldogs additionally have Jack Loonam (6-0, 215, RFr.) at the position.

2011 Spring Outlook OFFENSIVE LINEMEN The graduation of NFL prospects Justin Anderson, Cordy GlennandBenJonesmeanstheBulldogsmustreplacethree-fifthsof their starting lineup from a year ago. With that trio leading the way, Georgia set school records for total plays and touchdown passes, and the Bulldogs rolled up 408.5 total yards and 32.0 points per game. Jones and Glenn each earned All-America and All-SEC recognition at the end of the season. Guards Kenarious Gates (6-5, 328, Jr.) and Chris Burnette (6-2, 313, Jr.) are Georgia’s returning starters. Guard Dallas Lee (6-4, 300, Jr.) garnered starting experience before a broken leg sidelined him, while center David Andrews (6-2, 280, So.) logged enough snaps to earn a letter. The Bulldogs also have Watts Dantzler (6-7, 310, So.), Zach DeBell (6-6, 273, RFr.), Kolton Houston (6-5, 291, RSo.), Austin Long (6-5, 304, Jr.), Hunter Long (6-4, 300, So.) and Xzavier Ward (6-7, 264, RFr.) to evaluate this spring. Mark Beard (6-4, 209, So.) transferred from Coffeyville Community College, where he earned NJCAA All-America honors, and he will enter the mix. Georgia also will look at Caleb Drake (6-1, 275, RFr.), Ben Reynolds (6-2, 255, Jr.), Eddie McQuillen (6-8, 264, RFr.) and Hugh Williams (6-5, 254, RSo.).

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN The Bulldogs lost just one player, DeAngelo Tyson, off the front end of their defense. At nose, Georgia returns John Jenkins (6-3, 351, Sr.) and Kwame Geathers (6-6, 350, Jr.). A year ago, they combined for 42 tackles – Jenkins even added an interception in the Outback Bowl – and did an admirable job engaging offensive linemen at the point of attack, freeing the skill positions to make the lion’s share of the tackles. Geoff Rapp (6-3, 230, RFr.) returns as well for Georgia.Abry Jones (6-3, 309, Sr.) and Garrison Smith (6-3, 294, Jr.) will lead the Bulldogs at the end positions. Jones had 48 tackles, in-cluding seven for loss and four sacks, and 20 quarterback pres-sures a year ago. He earned SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors after making four tackles against Kentucky. Smith pitched in 22 tackles, including three for loss. He was named the SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week with a career-best seven tackles against Georgia Tech. Derrick Lott (6-4, 303, Jr.), Mike Thornton (6-1, 287, RSo.) and Dexter Morant (6-7, 245, RSo.) give Georgia additional depth at end.

OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS With 2011 All-American Jarvis Jones (6-3, 241, Jr.) leading theway,thisfigurestobeastrengthfortheBulldogsthisseason. Jones garnered All-America recognition from virtually every organization a year ago after rolling up 70 tackles, including 19.5 for loss and an SEC-best 13.5 sacks, and 49 quarterback pressures. AfinalistfortheButkusAward,JonesledtheSECandwasfifthnationally in sacks per game. He also led the league and was 16th in the nation in tackles for loss per game. In Georgia’s win over Florida,Joneshadfivetackles,includingfoursacks,andforcedafumble to earn National and SEC Player of the Week honors. CorneliusWashington(6-4,269,Sr.)followedwithfivesacksamong his 17 tackles last season. He also posted 29 quarterback pressures. Ray Drew (6-5, 263, So.), Chase Vasser (6-3, 227, Jr.) and Reuben Faloughi (6-5, 255, Jr.) give the Bulldogs additional options. Vasser had 16 tackles, Drew added eight and Faloughi recorded three in backup roles last season. Drew was chosen as the SEC Freshman of the Week following the Vanderbilt game in which he had three tackles and a fumble recovery. The Bulldogs also return T.J. Stripling (6-6, 222, Jr.), Sterling Bailey (6-3, 259, RFr.) and Ricky Lowe (6-7, 258, Sr.).

INSIDE LINEBACKERS The Dogs boast plenty of experience at inside linebacker, led by returning starters Michael Gilliard (6-2, 220, Sr.) and Alec Ogletree (6-3, 236, Jr.). Gilliard ranked third on the team last year with 65 tackles, followed by Ogletree with 52 stops. Gilliard was chosen as a National and SEC Defensive Player of the Week with 12 tackles, a forced fumble and a pass breakup in Georgia’s win at Tennessee. Christian Robinson (6-2, 226, Sr.), who has 15 starts among his 37 collegiate games, returns as the veteran of the group. Last season, Robinson rolled up 47 tackles. Amarlo Herrera (6-2, 231, So.) filled in admirably a year agowhenOgletreewas outwitha broken foot and registered 37 tackles. The Bulldogs also have Ramik Wilson (6-2, 224, So.), Brandon Burrows (6-3, 240, RSo.), special teams ace Kosta Vavlas (6-0, 219, RSo.), Corey Campbell (5-10, 210, RSo.) and Taylor Maxey (5-10, 220, RFr.).

SECONDARY Despite the exit of Brandon Boykin, the Paul Hornung Award winner as the nation’s most versatile player, the Bulldogs return three starters among the defensive backs. Replacing Boykin won’t be easy as he not only had 55 tackles and three interceptions a year ago,butheadded103yardsandatouchdownrushing,fivecatchesfor 71 yards and two scores, 14 punt returns for 180 yards and a touchdown, and 850 yards in kickoff return yardage. However, the Bulldogs have their share of options in the secondary. Sanders Commings (6-2, 217, Sr.) and Branden Smith (5-11, 176, Sr.) both have experience starting at cornerback. Commings had 55 tackles and an interception a year ago. Smith notched 24 tackles and two interceptions, and like Boykin, he was a threat with the ball in his hands as he posted 100 yards rushing, 39 yards receiving, 70 yards on punt returns and 131 yards on kickoff re-turns. Damian Swann (5-11, 177, So.) earned a start a year ago and heplayedin11games,registeringfivestops. At safety, 2011 starters Shawn Williams (6-1, 220, Sr.) and Ba-carri Rambo (6-0, 218, Sr.) return. Williams was Georgia’s leading tackler a year ago with 72 and he added four interceptions. Rambo earned All-America honors after posting 55 tackles and a team-best eight interceptions. He led the SEC and was second in the nation in interceptions per game, and had the third-most interception return yards for a single season in school history with 157. Rambo (second), Commings(fifth)andWilliams(18th)rankedamongtheleaguelead-ers in passes defended per game. In the secondary, the Bulldogs also return Devin Bowman (6-0, 175, RFr.), Quintavius Harrow (5-11, 183, So.), special teams standout Blake Sailors (5-11, 186, Jr.), Corey Moore (6-2, 207, So.), Marc Deas (6-1, 197, RSo.), Connor Norman (5-10, 208, RSo.), Austin Herod (5-10, 191, Jr.), Luis Capella (5-10, 176, Jr.) and Jesse Jones (6-0, 190, RFr.).

SPECIALISTS The Bulldogs said goodbye to punter Drew Butler and kicker Blair Walsh, two of the best to ever play their respective positions atGeorgia.Butler,whowasa2009firstteamAll-AmericanandRay Guy Award winner, averaged 44.2 yards and pinned oppo-nents inside the 20-yard line with 21 of his 58 punts in 2011. Walsh completed his career as the SEC all-time scoring leader and ranked second in NCAA history in career points with 409, which included 10fieldgoalsof50ormoreyards.Lastseason,heledtheBulldogswith109pointson46-of-46extrapointsand21-of-35fieldgoals.The Bulldogs also lost reserve kicker Brandon Bogotay and the aforementioned Boykin for returns.Georgia signed prospects at both punter and kicker, but they won’t arrive until preseason camp. In the meantime, the Bulldogs will evaluate Adam Erickson (5-10, 168, RSo.), Ethan Jackson (5-11, 182, RFr.) and Cody Johnson (6-1, 200, RSo.) at punter, and Jamie Lindley (5-11, 177, Sr.) and Scott Eichler (5-11, 184, Sr.) at kicker.

Returning Starters On A Mission A majority of the returning starters on defense explored the possibility of leaving early for the NFL fol-lowing the 2011 season. Fortunately for the Bulldogs, all of them opted to return. This group includes a pair of All-Americans in junior OLB Jarvis Jones and senior FS Bacarri Rambo. Only junior TE Orson Charles decided to forgo his senior season and declare for the 2012 NFL Draft.

Non-Conference Success Under the direction of Mark Richt, Georgia owns a 44-8 record against teams from outside the Southeast-ern Conference, including 30-1 at home. Last year, the Bulldogs beat Coastal Carolina, New Mexico State and #25 Georgia Tech and lost to #5 Boise State and then #12 Michigan State in the Outback Bowl.

Since 1992, Georgia has always opened up the SEC schedule versus South Carolina when the Gamecocks joined the league. However in 2012, the Bulldogs will face Missouri in Columbia, Mo., in the Tigers’ SEC debut. The last time Georgia faced a team other than South Carolina in its SEC opener was in 1999.

No. 2 Signal Caller For The Bulldogs Hutson Mason played in four games at quarterback in 2011, going 18-of-30 for 254 yards and two touchdowns, and has appeared in eight games over the last two seasons. But in 2012, the decision has been made to redshirt Mason to give a year separation between him and junior Aaron Murray. Now, redshirt freshman Christian LeMay, a 2009 SuperPrep All-American, will be battling redshirt sophomore Parker Welch and true freshman Faton Bauta for the backup job. Welch played in two games last season and completed his only pass for 20 yards. Bauta enrolled at UGA in January after earning a No. 15 national ranking as a dual-threat quarterback while playing for Dwyer HS in Palm Beach, Fla. Plugging The Holes On The Offensive Line Georgia lost seniors C Ben Jones, LT Cordy Glenn and RT Justin An-derson after the trio enabled the Bulldogs to set school records for total plays and touchdown passes in 2011, as well as roll up 408.5 total yards and 32.0 pointspergame.Glennfinishedwith50starts,includingtheteam’slast47games, and tied the school record for the most starts for a Bulldog lineman (Clint Boling, 2007-10). Jones started 49 games in his career. Leadership now turns to juniors Kenarious Gates, Chris Burnette and Dallas Lee, who split time at the guard last year and have 31 starts between them. Sophomore David Andrews is expected to compete for the job at center while early enrollee Mark Beard, who was a NJCAA All-American at Cof-feyville CC last year, will give Georgia depth at tackle. In addition, sophomores Watts Dantzler and Hunter Long gained game experience in 2011 and will be counted on during the 2012 campaign. They will be joined by junior Austin Long, sophomore Kolton Houston and Xzavier Ward and Zach DeBell, who bothredshirtedlastseasonasfirst-yearfreshmen,assecond-yearOLcoachWill Friendfiguresouthislineup.

Also, senior Richard Samuel IV (240 yds, 1 TD) and sophomore Ken Malcome (174 yds.) will be available for the Bulldogs’ attack. An addition to the corps is freshman Keith Marshall, who enrolled with the Bulldogs in January. Marshall arrives in Athens after tallying 4,552 yards and 55 touchdowns during his high school career in North Carolina. Another NC high school standout, Todd Gurley, will join the Bulldogs in the summer. Senior CB Branden Smith also remains a threat on offense after carrying the ball 13 times for 100 yards and a touchdown last season. At fullback, junior Alexander Ogletreestartshisthirdfullyearandisaimingtofilltheshoesof departed senior Bruce Figgins. In addition, the 6-2, 245-pound freshman Quayvon Hicks is scheduled to start classes in the summer and will add depth at FB. Who To Cover? The Bulldogs attacked the opposition in 2011 with a wide variety of weapons at receiver. Six players recorded more than 230 yards receiving, with three of those having at least 45 catches, and all but one return this season. In fact, QB Aaron Murray threw touchdowns to 10 different Bulldogs last year. Senior Tavarres King led the crew with 705 yards on 47 catches and eight touchdowns, including a school record 205 yards and a score on six receptions in the Outback Bowl. Close behind King in last year’s standings was freshman Malcolm Mitchell who snagged 45 catches for 665 yards and four touchdowns in just 11 games played. A pair of sophomores - Michael Bennett, who was second on the team withfiveTDs,andChris Conley - give Murray another pair of targets. Ben-nett was fourth on the team with 320 receiving yards while Conley had 288 yards and two touchdowns in 11 contests. King is joined in the senior ranks by Marlon Brownwhomadefivestartsandwasalsowaspartofthe200-yardclub, including a 121-yard, two touchdown performance at Vanderbilt. Only TE and Mackey Award finalist Orson Charles (45 rec., 574 yds., 5 TDs), who left early for the NFL, will be missing from last year’s top six receivers.

Getting Defensive GeorgiarankedfifthnationallyinTotalDefense(277.2ypg),11thinRushing Defense (101.2 ypg) and 23rd in Scoring Defense (20.6 ppg) last season. The best news for the Bulldogs is that nine of 11 starters from that 2011 team return, including 12 of the 14 leading tacklers. Those nine returning defenders teamed with several key backups to account for 33.5 of the Bulldogs’ 35 sacks (2.50/g, which was second in the league) and 17 of their SEC-leading 20 interceptions. During the Bulldogs’ 10-game winning streak, Georgia surrendered 133 points (13.3/g). In that span, they allowed just 12 touchdowns. Also, UGA’s opponents reached the Red Zone only 16 times in those 10 games and that resulted in 73 points. The Bulldog defense allowed 27 touchdowns in 2011.

SEC Sack Leader Jarvis Jones Returns For More Junior OLB and Butkus Award finalist Jarvis Jones announced during the season that he was remaining at Georgia and not declaring for the NFL Draft, which instantly gave the Bulldogs a solid foundation at linebacker. The First-Team All-American led the SEC and was tied for fifthnationallywith13.5sacks(whichwasjustahalfsackoffDavidPol-lack’sschoolrecord14setin2002)lastyearinhisfirstseasonplayingunder Bulldog defensive coordinator Todd Grantham’s 3-4 scheme. The Columbus native was also No. 1 in the league with 19.5 tackles for loss. Thanksinparttohispersistenceintheopponent’sbackfield,theBulldogdefense was second in the SEC with 35 sacks in 2011 and 33 of those sacks came in SEC action.

Stellar Linebacker Corps Extends Past Jones While Jarvis Jones stacked up the accolades and broke into the headlines the most in 2011, the Bulldogs also return the other three start-ers at linebacker and a handful of their substitutes. Senior ILB Michael Gilliardassumedastartingroleforthefirsttimelastyearandfinishedthird on the team with 65 tackles, including seven for loss. His versatile inside partner is junior Alec Ogletree, who, despite missing six games with a foot injury, piled up 52 stops (7.5 tackles for loss) and forced a team-highthreefumbles.OgletreeledtheBulldogsduringtheirlastfivegamesintacklesandfinishedwithacareer-high13tacklestogoalongwitha tipped pass that teammate John Jenkins hauled in for an interception.

The depth continues at linebacker with the return of sophomore ILB Amarlo Herrera and junior OLB Chase Vasser, who have 11 starts between them, and promising sophomore OLB Ray Drew. Early in the season,HerreraandVasserfilledinwhenOgletreeandRobinsonweresidelined.Herrerafinishedwith37tacklesandmadeeightstartsfortheBulldogs. Drew, who played in seven games, was named the SEC Fresh-man of the Week after having three tackles, including 2.5 tackles for a loss, and a fumble recovery in the win at Vanderbilt.

DEFENSE & SPECIAL TEAMSStingy Secondary Mostly Intact The Bulldogs are hoping to lean on a secondary unit that only loses one starter from last year. Despite CB/return specialist Brandon Boykin taking his 55 tackles (11 for loss) and three interceptions from 2011 to the NFL, Georgia returns senior CB Sanders Commings and senior safeties Bacarri Rambo and Shawn Williams to its arsenal. Rambo was the most dangerous threat to opposing quarterbacks last season after managing an SEC-leading eight interceptions to complement 55 tackles. The AP First Team All-American also shot to third in the school record books by returning those eight picks 157 yards, including a return for a touchdown versus #24 Auburn. Williams led the Bulldogs with 72 tackles and was second on the team with four interceptions last year. Commings joined Rambo and Williams in deciding to stay with the Bulldogs for their season. Starting 11 games at CB and threeatoneofthesafetyspots,Commingsalsofinishedwith55tackles,including46 solos, to go with an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Senior Branden Smith, who like Boykin is a CB and a return specialist, will beacandidatetofillBoykin’svacancyondefenseafternotching24stopsandapair of picks. Sophomore Damian Swann also played in 11 games in 2011 and is gearing up for a breakout campaign in 2012. Fellow sophomore Corey Moore played primarily on special teams last season and is now ready to assume his role on the Bulldogs defense. Middle Losing Little The Bulldog defensive front loses only one member, DeAngelo Tyson, from its 2011 group. During Georgia’s 10-game winning streak, the Bulldog defensive front held its opponents to an average of just 75.7 yards and helped UGA rank third in Rushing Defense (101. 2 yds/g) in the league and fourth in Total Defense (277.2 yds/g). The Bulldogs are counting on more solid production from its two nose tackles in senior John Jenkins and junior Kwame Geathers. Jenkins started seven gamesinhisfirstseasonwiththeBulldogsandfinishedwith28tackles,includingsix for loss, and an interception in the Outback Bowl. Geathers added 14 stops in his 12 games played. At end, Abry Jones put the NFL on hold to stick around for his senior season after gathering 48 tackles, including four sacks, while starting all 14 games. Jones will be working with junior Garrison Smith, who earned SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors after the victory over #21 Georgia Tech in 2011 and started the last two games of the season after Tyson went down with an ankle injury versus the Yellow Jackets.

Searching For Specialists The Bulldogs lost a one-of-a-kind trio of specialists and will be looking for their replacements this spring. All-American punter Drew Butler was named the 2009RayGuyAwardwinnerforbeingthenation’stoppunterandfinishedastheschool’s all-time leader and second in SEC history with a 45.4 average. Place kicker BlairWalshfinishedhiscareerastheSEC’sall-timeleadingscorerwith412points,whichranksfifthall-timeinNCAAhistory,afterdrilling10fieldgoalsof50ormore yards. Return specialist Brandon Boykin completed his time as a Bulldog as the only player in SEC history with three plays of 100 yards of any kind and the Outback Bowl MVP ended up second on the all-time conference list with 2,663 kickoff return yards on 113 returns (24.2 avg). Georgia signed a punter in Collin Barber of Cartersville and a place kicker in Marshall Morgan of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. They will not arrive on campus until the summer. Branden Smith is the only returner with experience so competition to return punts and kickoffs for the Bulldogs will start this spring.

Quick Strike Again & AgainUGA led the SEC with 35 scoring drives under 2:00 in 2011. Against New Mexico State, Georgia had seven touchdown drives under 2:00, including four under 40 seconds.

99-Yard Touchdown Drive Vs. OMGeorgia scored on a 99-yard, eight-play drive that took 4:00 to give the Bulldogs a 17-0 lead over Ole Miss in the second quarter. TE Orson Charles hauled in a two-yard score from redshirt sophomore QB Aaron Murray to give UGA the longest drive in the SEC in 2011. This was the longest scoring drive for Georgia since the Bulldogs had a 99-yard touchdown drive versus Central Michigan in 2008.

Scoring Surge The Bulldogs took a 49-3 halftime lead versus New Mexico State. Georgia’s 49 points tied for the most in one half dating back to 1950.

2011 Game Summaries

#12 SOUTH CAROLINASept. 10, 2011 • Sanford Stadium - Athens, Ga.

Despite four touchdown passes by Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray, the Bulldogs dropped a 45-42 decision to No. 12 South Carolina on Sept. 10 at Sanford Stadium in front of a sellout crowd of 92,746 and an ESPN nationally televised audience.

With the loss, the Bulldogs slipped to 0-2 overall and 0-1 in the Southeastern Conference. The Gamecocks improved to 2-0 and 1-0.

Murray hit on 19-of-29 passes for 248 yards and the career-best four touchdowns, the last covering 33 yards to receiver Tavarres King with 2:33 remaining. But after the Bulldogs were unable to recover an onside kick, South Carolina ran out the clock.

Freshman tailback Isaiah Crowell gained 118 yards on 16 carries to establish his career high for the Bulldogs. He scored two touchdowns, one on a 17-yard reception and the other on a 16-yard rush.

South Carolina was led by sophomore tailback Marcus Lattimore, who had 176 yards and a touchdown. The Gamecocks also scored touchdowns on a fake punt, an interception return and a fumble return, and they had another touchdown set up by a fumble return.

Murray’s touchdown passes covered 26 yards to receiver Rantavious Wooten, 17 yards to Crowell, 19 yards to receiver Michael Bennett and the 33 yarder to King.

With just over six minutes left in the game, Georgia Tech strung together a 65-yard drive that culminated in a 16-yard touchdown run by Smith, but were unable to put any more points on the scoreboard.

Head Coach Mark Richt Head Coach Mark Richt came to Georgia with the goal of taking the lid off a program that had not won an SEC title in 20 years. After 11 seasons between the hedges, he’s demonstrated what that means by winning two SEC Championships (2002, ‘05), four SEC Eastern Division titles and tied for another, and his 106-38 record is fourth best in the country in winning percentage among active coaches (.741). And his emphasis on graduation has come to fruition as 201 Bulldog players have earned their degrees during his tenure. Richt was named SEC Coach of the Year in both 2002 and 2005. His record against non-conference teams is 44-8 and his teams are 38-10 when playing in an opponent’s home stadium. Richt is also one of only six coaches in history to win two SEC championships (2002, 2005)inhisfirstfiveyears,andoneofonlyfive head coaches inSEChistory to recordfour straight 10-win seasons (2002-05). The respect he has nationally was demonstrated in 2010 when Richt was named to the American Football Coaches Association Board of Trust-ees. The excitement produced by Richt’s teams onthefieldhasbeenmatchedbymanyotheraspects 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 excellenceonandoffthefield. 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 can accomplish.” Richt also had a reputation for developing quarterbacks at FSU and that has continued at UGA. David Greene was named SEC Fresh-man of the Year in 2001 and in ‘02, Greene ledtheSECinpassingefficiencyandwastheconsensuschoiceforAll-SECfirstteam.Bythe 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 theSECinpassingefficiency.MatthewStaf-ford came next (2006-08) and set the Georgia record for season total offense in 2008 (3,499 yards) and finished third in career passingyardage(7,731).In2010,AaronMurrayfin-ishedsecondnationallyinpassingefficiencyamong freshman quarterbacks and in 2011 set the school record for most TD passes in a single season (35 breaking the old mark of 25 by Matthew Stafford). The NFL is also looking Georgia’s way on a regular basis. Fifty-seven of Richt’s players have been chosen in the NFL draft over the last ten years including eight chosen in the 2002 NFL draft--the most Georgia players ever selected in a single year.

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 (8-4), he had becomethefirstGeorgiacoachsinceH.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 Geor-giaTech(forthefirsttimesince1997).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 mostprolificincollegefootballhistorywhilebecoming one of country’s most respected coaches. Under Richt’s direction, the FSU offense had been a national leader.

Richt sent six FSU quarterbacks into the

NFL between 1987 and 2000. In addition to Weinke (Carolina Panthers), Washington Redskin Casey Weldon was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy in 1991. His teammate at FSU, Brad Johnson (now Richt’s brother-in-law), was a Pro Bowl selection for Washington in 2000 and led the Tampa Bay Bucs to the

Super Bowl title in 2003. Other Richt pro proteges include Danny Kanell (New York Giants), Danny McManus (Kansas City Chiefs) and Peter Tom Willis (Chicago Bears). A native of Omaha, Nebraska, Richt played QB for the Miami Hurricanes under Howard Schnellenberger. Het spent most of his career at Miami as a backup to former Buffalo Bills star Jim Kelly. In one of Richt’s years at Miami, his QB teammates included Kelly, Vinny Testaverde, Bernie Kosar, and quarterbacks coach Earl Morral. Richt is married to the former Katharyn Francis of Tallahassee. The couple have four children - Jonathan (3/11/90), a senior quarterback at Mars Hill College, David (12/1/94), Zach (5/15/96), and Anya (2/13/97). Jon was married to the former Anna Cearley, in May 2010.

Head Coach Mark Richt

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, class-mates 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.

Uga, The Mascot Legacy

The Goat, Feb. 22, 1892Georgia’smascotforitsfirstfootballgameagainstAuburn,February22,1892inAtlanta,Ga.,wasagoat.Oldnewspaper

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.”

Trilby, 1894In 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 as the campus pet and mascot for the Chi Phi fraternity. Disputing stories speculate the origin of the Bulldog nickname, and the story of Trilby provides yet another opin-

ion:“...everydayTrilbytookherselfdowntooldHertyfieldwithhermasterforfootballpractice.Sheransignalswiththebestofthemandbecameanaccustomedfigureontheathleticfield...Onemorning,Trilbyfailedtoappearforherbreakfastandafterafranticsearchshewasfinallydiscoveredproudlywashingthefacesofhernewbornfamily,13white 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 aname,Bulldogs.’...EverytimeagamewasplayedonHertyField,theboyswouldflossTrilbyandher13offeringsupwithredandblackribbons,andsoattiredtheyhavegonedowninhistoryasperhapsthefirst‘sponsors’insouthernfootball.” —Ruth Stanton Cogill (Atlanta newspaper)

Butch, 1947-50Butch was a brin dled 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 Georgia-Kentucky 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 po-liceman 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.

on 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.

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 beginning in 1956.

Uga IV, 1981-89“Seiler’s Uga Four”Record: 77-27-4Uga 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 Ban quet with Herschel Walker in New York on December 9, 1982. Uga IV was escorted through thebanquet hall by the president of the Down town Athletic Club, and was earlier photographed with Herschel by photographers from across the country. The proud Bulldog donned his game jersey for the outing and added the formal touch of a collar and black tie.
