Fall Camp, August 30, 2011

From the editor : vance leavyIt is with great care and even some nervousness that I kick

things off for this issue of Bulldawg Illustrated. Yes, we find our-selves again starting the journey of another University of GeorgiaBulldogs football season. I often joke with people that the lead upto the first football game is the best time of year because our belovedboys in red and black are undefeated like everyone else in the land.

However, we all know that only one team can be crownedchampion of the SEC and the nation each year and that’s why mystomach is churning as I tap away on my laptop. By Sunday ourhopes and dreams for a special season will either be off to a roar-ing start or a gut-wrenching halt.

As Jeff Dantzler points out in his column on page 5, there area ton of advantages to playing a quality opponent when openingthe season. And oh boy, do our Bulldogs have that in the BoiseState Broncos. In just a short time, they’ve gone from being theDavid of college football to now being one of the elite in America’sgreatest sport.

Yes the task won’t be easy for the Dawgs, but you gotta thinkthe fan advantage in the Georgia Dome will have a lot to do withthe outcome. Because of this, we at BI went with two symbols ofGeorgia football on our cover to remind the Bulldog Nation of theirpart for the season opener.

You can only imagine how excited I was to learn that JackDavis had provided one of his famous drawings for this issue. Andis there not a better backdrop for the proud 2011 Bulldog ridingthe Bronco than the Wrightsville, Ga. barn? Throughout the years,the message on the dilapidating structure has inspired and amusedBulldog fans traveling north to Athens on Highway 15 and thecaretakers of it have certainly delivered to begin the 2011 season.

NO COMPLAINING! GET ON THE BUS! HUNKERDOWN!

These three phrases should remind us all (fans, players andcoaches) that it’s time for the Bulldog Nation to rally and that be-gins Saturday night in the Georgia Dome.

In this issue, everyone on the BI team has chipped in to pro-vide some awesome content that is sure to have everyone readyfor the big game.

On the football front, our cover-age includes the game preview (page6), the Five Key/rosters pullout (page12, 13), three pages (16, 17 and 18)about Boise State and the Top 25 (page20). And if you’re looking for somebulletin board material, then definitelydon’t’ miss the Boise State fan on theScouting Report page raising the ques-tion on a message board, “Does yourfootball team even resemble an SEC

program anymore”? Wow, that’s a bold statement. I guess we shallsoon find out!

And hopefully by now, everyone out there knows an issue ofBI isn’t complete without some social/lifestyle coverage. On pagefour, Murray Poole is kicking off a series he will write this footballseason about various fans throughout the Bulldog Nation. Unfor-tunately his subject for this issue, Tom Lively, is no longer with us.Murray’s tribute to Mr. Lively seemed like the perfect way to beginthe series because there wasn’t a man who loved Georgia footballmore. And for all the right reasons. Enjoy.

And if you happen to shed a tear or two reading about MrLively, then you better hang onto your Kleenex when reading TravisRagsdale’s wrap-up (page 21) of a very special event that occurredin Athens last week. The football coaches’ wives joined forces withChildren’s Healthcare of Atlanta in support of one of their own, theOlivadottis.

For the tailgaters out there, be sure not to miss Cheri’s “In theKitchen” feature on Henry Worthy of St. Simons. Henry is a per-fectionist with his cooking and his Mexican Green Chili shouldscore big with your gameday crew.

I would mention our picture pages, but by now, you’ve prob-ably grown tired of my long-windedness and have already foundthem. Nonetheless for the readers bearing with me, don’t miss ourshots from the Suits & Sneakers event (page 8,9), the UGA Relayfor Life kickoff (page 7) and Picture Day at Sanford Stadium (page14,15).

Whew … that pretty much covers everything, except for tworemaining items.

First, I’m pleased to remind folks that our Bulldawg Leadersfeature series is back again this football season. However we beginthe series a little different this year. Rather than beginning with oneplayer and his parents answering questions, we decided to let BenJones talk about all the players that we will be featuring over thenext three months. Ben is a real ham with the media and didn’tdisappoint with his answers. However, I hope you’re like me afterreading them and come out of it feeling like this 2011 team is a veryclose-knit group who have the capability for something special.

That leads me to my final item and that’s Coach Richt. Givethe man credit as he has faced the last few disappointing seasonshead on with a renewed rigor and passion for 2011. Through ameeting with the Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith and thebook he recommended, The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon, Richt hashis players focused on getting on a bus where no negativity is al-lowed.

Now it’s time for those players to represent their coach withexceptional play so that everyone in the Bulldog Nation can havethe ride of their lives. Stop number one begins Saturday night at 8p.m in Atlanta. Get on the bus and I’ll see you there!!!

Saturday night’s showdown withfifth-ranked Boise State is one of themost highly anticipated openers inGeorgia history. Playing a strong op-ponent in the first game of the yearwhen at all possible – and any collegefootball coach and athletic director willtell you that putting together a sched-ule is not the easiest thing to do – is asmart move for three reasons. First ofall, there is plenty of preparation time.Secondly, a coach and team know a lotmore about themselves after one gamewhen playing quality opposition. Fi-nally, the Bulldogs have a great historyof going on to championship seasonswhen opening against a heavyweight.

With the season opening on LaborDay Weekend and the SoutheasternConference Championship Game setfor the first Saturday in December, theway the calendar falls, teams get justone open date. For Georgia, which hasdone an excellent job of playing amajor out of conference opponent inaddition to the eight yearly SEC gamesand the annual date with Tech, itmakes sense to play a tough foe first.Assuming that most seasons’ scheduleswill be like this one, there are eightleague games, Tech and another toughone. That leaves the one open date andtwo “punching bag” opponents whichshould always result in easy wins.Those three dates must be wiselyspread out and positioned between andbefore monster showdowns.

Since the first game is essentiallybeing played coming off of an opendate, to play a “tomato can” in theopener is a waste. The Bulldogs sched-ule this season lays out very nicely.Following Boise State and South Car-olina, Georgia hosts Coastal Carolinabefore playing four straight weeksagainst SEC foes. Then comes theopen date before the Florida game.New Mexico State falls between theGators and Auburn.

Give Florida credit for being thefirst SEC power to play one of thoseeasy games late in the season. Theyfigured, why burn an open date forFlorida State when Florida Atlantic orThe Citadel fits nicely into that slot?Save that open date for LSU, Alabama,Georgia or Auburn.

For teams breaking in a new quar-terback, it can seem to make sense toplay an easy one to start things off. Butwhat do you really learn?

Georgia looked good in last sea-son’s 55-7 blowout of Louisiana-Lafayette. The Bulldogs then lost fourstraight.

Though the Bulldogs lost their2009 opener at Oklahoma State, Geor-gia’s next three games were victoriesover South Carolina, Arkansas and Ari-zona State. Surely, that strong openingopponent had the Dogs ready to roll atfull speed.

These past two seasons have beendisappointing for Georgia, but the Bull-dogs have high hopes for 2011. His-tory could be on the Bulldogs side.

Most of the greatest teams in Geor-gia history – and that includes theMark Richt era – have come in yearsthat opened against strong opposition.

Georgia’s national and SEC cham-pions of 1942, led by Heisman winnerFrank Sinkwich, Charley Trippi andGeorge Poschner, nipped Kentucky 7-6in a game played in Louisville. TheBulldogs would famously go 11-1, routFlorida 75-0, pummel second-rankedTech 34-0 and then down UCLA 9-0 towin the Rose Bowl, earning nationalchampionship accolades in six pollsand capturing the school’s first SECchampionship.

Trippi, Johnny Rauch, Jack Bushand Joe Tereshinski led Wally Buttssecond SEC championship team. Theperfect 11-0 Bulldogs of 1946 wonevery game by double digits, cappedwith a 20-10 Sugar Bowl victory overNorth Carolina. Georgia, named na-tional champions in one poll, rolledClemson 35-12 in the season opener to

set the tone for one of Georgia’s great-est seasons.

In 1948, the SEC champion Bull-dogs didn’t play a big name foe in theopener, but nipped tough Chattanooga14-7.

It would be 11 years until the Bull-dogs would win another SEC title.Georgia opened the 10-1 campaign of1959 with a 17-3 victory over Ala-bama, headed by second year coachBear Bryant.

Year three of the Dooley eraopened with a heart-stopping 20-17win over conference foe MississippiState in Jackson. The 1966 seasonended with a 10-1 record, SEC titleand No. 4 national ranking.

In 1968, star-studded Georgia –featuring Bill Stanfill, Jake Scott KentLawrence, Mike Cavan, Steve Greer,Charlie Whittemore and Billy Payne -tied Tennessee in Knoxville 17-17 andwent on to win the SEC title with an 8-0-2 record. The Bulldogs should havewon at Neyland Stadium. It was thefirst year that the clock stopped afterfirst downs, and with the Volunteersdown 17-9 on the closing drive, Ten-nessee got a bunch of extra time thenscored on a controversial TD and tied itwith a two-pointer.

With Andy Johnson leading theway, Georgia went 11-1 in 1971. TheBulldogs opened with a 56-25 rompover Oregon State of the PAC-10 andtheir 300-pound coach Dee Andros,who looked like a giant pumpkin inthe Beaver Orange.

Another SEC championship camein 1976, as the Junkyard Dawgs en-joyed a stellar 10-1 regular season thatbegan with a 36-24 victory over Caland the Golden Bears high octane pass-ing duo of Joe Roth and WesleyWalker.

Georgia just missed out on theSEC title in 1978, going 9-1-1. TheDogs opened the year with a 16-14 winover Baylor, led by All-American line-backer Mike Singletary.

The 43-4-1 Golden Era of the early‘80s featured season openers with Ten-nessee, Tennessee, Clemson and UCLA.

Herschel Walker burst upon thescene in Knoxville, leading the 1980national champions to a stirring 16-15victory over the Vols.

Georgia began its SEC title defensewith a 1981 season-opening 44-0pounding of Tennessee.

The most highly anticipatedopener in Georgia annals came be-tween the hedges on Labor Day Night1982, with the 1980 national cham-pion Bulldogs topping 1981 nationalchampion Clemson 13-7, despiteWalker forced to limited duty wearinga cast protecting a broken thumb.Georgia would go 11-0 and win a thirdstraight conference title.

In 1983, Georgia went 10-1-1,opening the season with a thrilling 19-8 victory over UCLA and quarterbackRick Neuhisel. The Bulldogs wrappedup the campaign ranked No. 4 in theland.

Fast forward two decades. Georgia’s great 13-1 SEC champi-

onship team of 2002 opened the sea-son with a 31-28 victory over Clemson.The Bulldogs finished No. 3 nationally.

The following year, Georgia fell inthe SEC Championship Game, butwent 11-3 and finished No. 6. Geor-gia began its season with a 30-0 pastingof Clemson in Death Valley.

Capturing its last SEC title in2005, Georgia opened the season witha 48-12 mauling of highly touted BoiseState between the hedges.

The Bulldogs great 11-2 team of2007 that finished No. 2 nationallyopened the year with a 35-14 win overOklahoma State between the hedges.

What’s the best way to predict thefuture?

Study the past. History and the simple math make

playing strong teams to start the seasonis a no-brainer.

A quality opener provides many benefits

Page 5: Georgia-Boise State 2011

Sometimes we in the media focus somuch on the Georgia teams and individualplayers, we often neglect the real heartbeat ofthe Bulldog Nation.

It’s the Georgia fans, those folks who fillSanford Stadium to the tune of 92,000-plusevery home game in the fall, who follow everymove the Bulldogs make and who, withoutfail, generously support the university and itsathletic program with annual monetary gifts.

So this football season, which of coursecomes roaring in Saturday night in the Geor-gia Dome against fifth-ranked Boise State,we’re going to be using much of this columnspace to pay tribute to some of those loyalDawg supporters … men and women whohave literally bled red and black downthrough the years and will always have anundying love for the University of Georgia andtheir football team.

And to kick off this column series, I’mhappy to be able to talk about one of my long-time associates and best friends. That wouldbe Tom Lively, who passed away suddenly onJuly 26 of this year at the age of 83 in a Fer-nandina Beach, Fla. assisted living facility.

The first thing you should know aboutTom Lively is here was a guy that supportedGeorgia and contributed to the athletic fundfor well over 60 years … despite the fact henever attended the University of Georgia.

Tom’s association with Georgia actuallybegan when he was a basketball player at hal-lowed Duke University. After a standout bas-ketball career at the old Boys High School inAtlanta, Lively received a scholarship offer toDuke and it was there, on the Blue Devil cam-pus in Durham, N.C., that he became best offriends with a football player named FrankInman. Although Inman was a senior at thetime and Lively a freshman, the two quicklyhit it off and would become roommates, liv-ing in the athletic dorm at Duke.

After earning his degree in business ad-ministration from Duke in 1950, Tom wouldfind his home in Brunswick, being transferredto the coastal Georgia city with General Mo-tors Corporation. And it was there, whileworking for Coastal Chevrolet, Tom wouldmeet the love of his life, Exer Armstrong, whowas employed by the auto dealership as abookkeeper. The two would enjoy a long andblessed life together before Exer passed awayin 2010, barely over a year prior to her hus-band’s death.

After going their separate ways fromDuke – Lively into the automobile businessand Inman into the coaching ranks – the twoformer Blue Devils maintained a very close re-lationship and after Inman coached Rich-mond Academy to the state prep footballchampionship, he joined Vince Dooley’s first-ever Georgia coaching staff in 1964. Inmanwould remain on the Bulldogs’ staff as assis-tant coach, offensive coordinator and recruit-ing coordinator until 1979 – the year beforeGeorgia won the consensus national champi-onship – when he left to become the athleticdirector of Glynn County Schools.

And the reason Inman came to GlynnCounty, where he was most instrumental ingetting a new 12,000-seat stadium built andserved as executive director of the annualGolden Isles Bowl which helped finance thestart of middle school athletics in Brunswick,was because of … Tom Lively.

Lively, then a member of the GlynnCounty Board of Education, was heavily in-volved in the search for a new athletic direc-tor for the local school system. So, as Tom toldit, he approached his old friend, Inman, aboutthe matter. “Frank, do you know anyone whomight be a candidate for our AD job?” askedLively. “Yes, I do,” replied Inman. “Who?” Tomasked. “You’re looking at him,” said Inman.

So that’s how Frank Inman made his way

out of Athens and became an athletic fixturein Glynn County, continuing to make hishome there until he passed away in Novem-ber of 2008.

While Lively became one of UGA”sbiggest supporters over more than fivedecades – he easily accumulated more than50,000 points in ticket priority access – healso remained most loyal to his alma materand his love for Duke basketball equaled thatof his fierce passion for Georgia football (hewas buried with both Georgia and Duke hatsin his casket). Many, many times, after at-tending the Bulldogs’ home and away gameson the gridiron down through the years, Tomwould escort friends to the ACC basketballtournaments in Charlotte, Raleigh and thelike.

Candler Meadors of Athens has knownTom Lively since their days at old Boys High.After they went their separate ways after highschool graduation, they didn’t see each otherfor many years but because Meadors workedin the automobile business also, their pathswould cross again one year in Washington,D.C.

“I was a freshman football player at BoysHigh when Tommy was a senior,” relatedMeadors. “Being a freshman, I was scared todeath but Tommy was just a really nice guyand he helped me and looked after me.Tommy was a heck of a good basketballplayer and when he went on to Duke, I basi-cally lost track of him.”

But, as fate would have it, Meadors andLively would meet once again at an Oldsmo-bile dealership convention in the nation’s capi-tol. “In 1958 I became general manager of theChevrolet business in Athens and later wentto work with Heyward Allen’s Cadillac deal-ership,” said Meadors. “Well, when Heywardand I went to the Oldsmobile dealers’ meetingin Washington, on the last day there we weregetting on the bus to go to the Kennedy Cen-ter and there sat Tommy and Exer. I had ba-sically lost track of him, didn’t even knowwhere Tommy was all those years. But, afterthat, we developed a real friendship again andstayed in touch almost 365 days a year. Wedidn’t just wait for football season. Tommywould get us season tickets for the game andhe helped us recruit back when you couldhelp (the coaches) recruit. Of course, you can’tdo that now. Heck,” said Meadors, “if it had-n’t been for Tommy, Georgia wouldn’t havegotten Willie McClendon.”

“But Tommy was a great Bulldog,” addedMeadors. “He was one of those silent Bulldogsthat would get something done for you if youasked him to do something. He came to allthe games, was a very good fan and just agreat guy.”

Meadors mentioned Willie McClendon,the Bulldogs’ SEC Player of the Year in 1978who set a new Georgia single-season rushingrecord that Herschel Walker would erase justtwo seasons later.

When McClendon was starring at tail-back for Glynn Academy, he quickly cameunder the watchful eye and tutelage of TomLively.

“Mr. Lively was a great mentor for meand we developed a great relationship,” saidMcClendon, who spoke at Lively’s funeralservice at First Baptist Church in Brunswick.“The first time we met, we mutually liked oneanother. We found out we both thought a lotalike logically. Mr. Lively liked the fact that Imade logical decisions, as opposed to mak-ing a decision on the spur of the moment andones that would be harmful to me.”

McClendon said he was actually all setto sign with Georgia Tech but that was beforeLively and then assistant Glynn Academyprincipal William “Buck” Crosby had a littlechat with Willie’s mom.

“My mom put a halt to that after talkingwith Mr. Lively and Mr. Crosby,” McClendonrecalled. “Mom wanted me in a school livingon campus in a dorm with a curfew, one thathad tutors and she also wanted me on a mealplan. And Georgia Tech, being in the middleof Atlanta, was just the opposite of all thatthen. Well, when they talked to my mom,both of them knowing that I liked GeorgiaTech, she told Mr. Lively and Mr. Crosby,‘Don’t worry, I’ve got him.’”

McClendon, who would meet with Tomand Exer Lively for breakfast at the Continu-ing Education Center every Sunday morningafter home games, noted that after his UGAand Chicago Bears playing careers, he wenton to receive his degree in education from Val-dosta State University. “And the day I got mydegree,” recalled Willie, “I called two people.The first was my mom and the second wasMr. Lively.

“I think, most of all,” McClendon re-flected, “Mr. Lively was a fan and a big believerin Willie McClendon and it just happenedthat I was a member of the Georgia Bulldogs.”

Tom and Exer are survived by a daugh-ter, Melinda L. Laager of St. Simons Island,and a grandson, Matthew T. Laager of Savan-nah, definitely the apple of Tom’s eye and thebeneficiary of many choice Georgia footballticket, thanks to his granddad.

“We all have interruptions in life, somethat are great and some that are not so won-derful,” said Melinda Laager. “I will never for-get, as a child, the cross-stitch framed sayingthat hung over the breakfast table. ‘We inter-rupt this marriage for Football Season’ with alarge “G” over the football. I will have to say,that was one of the best interruptions in lifethat my Dad shared with us. Luckily (momand I) we all loved football, the Dawgs andthe SEC.

“Dad always had the dogs on his mindeven at the most serious of times,” Melindasaid. “I will never forget him telling me as Iwalked down the aisle to take that ‘seriousstep,’ ‘You know …if you weren’t getting mar-ried, we could be headed to the Sugar Bowlabout right now, what do you think?’ That’salways stuck with me. I am not sure if thatwas his way of stopping my tears or his. Welaughed all the way down that red carpetedaisle!”

And what you must know about TomLively, until he passed this summer, he was soanticipating the Bulldogs’ upcoming 2011season. “We’ve got to get this thing turnedaround and if we can get by these first twogames (Boise State, South Carolina) I thinkwe’ll be on our way,” Tom said, his mind stillsharp as a tack even in his 80s.

A great Dawg ... Tom Lively poole shotsBy Murray Poole

Page 6: Georgia-Boise State 2011

6 Bulldawg Illustrated

o it begins....When Georgia’s 2011 football schedule originally came out, the Dawgs firstgame of the season was set to be against the Cardinals of Louisville. Instead,AD Greg McGarity decided to take a leap of faith with the Georgia football

program and accepted an invitation to one of the biggest college football games ofthe opening weekend ... the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta.

Do not take the Boise State Broncos lightly, Georgia fans. Consistently in thetop five rankings in the country for the last four years, the Broncos mean businessand are going to give the Dawgs all they can handle this Saturday. Boise State haselectric weapons all over the field and those are spearheaded by quarterback and2010 Heisman trophy finalist Kellen Moore. Having thrown for 3,845 yards, 35touchdowns and just six interceptions, Moore is about as serious a threat at quar-terback as a defense can get. Lining up behind Moore in the offensive backfield willbe powerful Doug Martin at running back. Listed at only 5’9, Martin still packs apunch when he hits the hole with his 209-pound frame. In 2010, he ran for 1,260yards and 12 touchdowns. There are question marks for the Boise State offensethough, mainly at wide receiver. Much like Georgia, Boise State lost their top twowide receivers from 2010 and will need to establish a presence at that position.

Center Ben Jones said just last week that Boise State has one of the best frontsevens in the country. It would be hard for any college football expert to refute thatstatement. They are experienced and while they may not be the biggest group,they fight tooth and nail on every play. Anchored along the defensive line by sen-ior Billy Winn, Boise State boasts a plethora of experienced veterans. However,much like the offense, the Broncos defense has holes as well. The most glaringone of those will be in the defensive backfield where they lost three of four startersfrom 2010.

The Battle in the Trenches

Like in so many college football games, the team who controls the line ofscrimmage will control the game. Luckily for the Dawgs, they may have an ad-vantage on both sides of the ball in spite of Boise’s experience. This advantagemay come from the enormous advantage in size that the Georgia lineman haveover Boise State. The Dawgs average 329 pounds across their offensive line whileBoise State averages 285 pounds across the same position. In fact, Boise State hasonly one offensive lineman that weighs over 300 pounds. This could prove to bequite a problem for the Broncos as all of Georgia’s starting defensive lineman areover the 300 pound mark. While Georgia has a definitive size advantage, it doesnot necessarily mean that Georgia will dominate the line of scrimmage. Boise StateHead Coach Chris Petersen has an uncanny knack for “getting more with less”and you can expect that out of both his offensive and defensive lines. On paperthough, the advantage has to go to Georgia.

Murray and Moore, Makers of Magical Moments

Every college football team hopeful of being successful has to have one spe-cial player that seems to have the unique ability to make plays when the game ison the line. Kellen Moore has proven time and time again that he is that player forBoise State. It also appears that Georgia has one of those players as well in AaronMurray. Time will tell if Aaron Murray will ever reach the level of Kellen Moore butMurray has already shown flashes of greatness in his young career. Still though,the advantage here as to go to Moore with his Heisman-worthy campaign last year.He may not have the weapons he did last year at receiver, but he will still find away to spread the ball around and create plays. Moore is also exceptional at han-dling pressure, he gets rid of the ball just as fast as he gets it so it’s going to be atough task for the UGA defensive line and linebackers to put the star quarterbackon his back.

Grantham and Petersen,Matching Wits

Boise State head coach Chris Petersen is known across the country for thecomplex offensive scheme that he has installed for the Broncos. They are likely tocome out this weekend with formations and plays that no one has seen before (re-member the statue of liberty play against Oklahoma a few years ago?). Although,Georgia’s defense is just as complicated. The 3-4 defensive scheme defensive co-ordinator Todd Grantham has installed is probably one of the most complex in thecollege game. Grantham has been in the film room all off-season studying theBoise State offense and Chris Petersen’s tendencies. But on the other side, Petersenhas been studying Grantham’s defense as well. Both of these stellar coaches will bethrowing intricate plays at each other in the hope that they might better the other.Chris Petersen has been at this a long time and has been successful for a long time.Grantham is innovative yes, but Petersen has the nod on this one.

Intangibles

Just shy of 73,000 fans will be in attendance Saturday at the Georgia Dometo see the Dawgs play the Broncos in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. Of those73,000, the far and away great majority of them will be dressed in red cheering onthe Dawgs. In fact, only 9,000 tickets were allotted to Boise State. Even with thatnumber, a ton of these tickets were bought ahead of time by Georgia fans. It wouldbe a safe guess that no more than 6,000 Boise State fans will actually be in atten-dance. This, of course, is a huge advantage for the Dawgs as it will essentially bea home game with the crowd advantage. Boise State has played in a lot of biggames over the past several years but they have never played in the environmentthat they will experience in The Dome.

Another distinct advantage that the Dawgs have going into this game is thepre-game prep that Georgia was able to do in The Dome. This past Friday, theDawgs traveled to Atlanta, strapped on the pads and new uniforms and practicedfor two hours in the Dome. This is an advantage that Boise State does not have thebenefit of doing. The Falcons have a pre-season game this Thursday and on Fri-day night, Georgia State has a home game in The Dome. So, the Broncos will nothave the opportunity to actually get into The Dome until the day of the game.This provides a distinct and measurable advantage for the Dawgs.

It will take more than an extra day of practice in the Georgia Dome for theDawgs to take this game though. Its going to be a hard fought battle throughoutSaturday evening and whichever team can turn their early energy into momentumwill take this pivotal first game of the season.

Dogs vs. BroncosGeorgia must use huge advantage in size andfan support to start season on a winning note

]ith another Georgia football season set totake center stage Saturday night in theGeorgia Dome, Bulldawg Illustrated is

kicking off its annual team leaders/foundation ques-tion-and-answer series.

Each week of the 2011 season, as we’ve done inprevious years, the top Georgia players and theirmoms will provide answers to a list of questions thatwill give the Bulldog fans a keen insight into eachplayer, both as to their performance on the field it-self as well as their personal interests away from theplaying arena.

But before the question-and-answer formatunfolds in next week’s South Carolina issue, whobetter than one of the Bulldogs’ very top leaders –four-year starting center Ben Jones – to give a quickrundown on his fellow teammates that will be fea-tured in this series … the guys who must stand tallin the role of leadership this fall if Georgia is to re-gain its rightful status in the SEC championshiprace.

Jones, an All-America candidate who has beennamed to Georgia’s Team of the Decade, offered thefollowing sentence comments on some of the Bull-dogs’ top performers, primarily upperclassmen withthe exception of sophomore quarterback AaronMurray:

Brandon Boykin – “The most talented, he cando anything. He can play offense, defense or specialteams.

Blair Walsh – “He’s our offensive safety net. Allyou have to do is get across the 50 and he’ll kick itthrough.”

Bruce Figgins – “He’s a quiet guy but gets thejob done.”

Aron White – “The teacher of the tight ends.He knows his role, can play and is extremely smart.He’s always helping Orson (Charles) and the rest ofthe guys.”

DeAngelo Tyson – “The quietest guy on theteam and will be there no matter what. He’s alwaysgoing to do his job.”

Justin Anderson – “He has the fastest feet onthe team and is the most powerful guy on the team.”

Orson Charles – “He’s like Aaron Murray. He’sone of the hardest working guys on the team and isalways putting in the work whether it’s in the filmroom or the weight room. He’s always pushingeverybody.”

Cordy Glenn – “He’s Aaron’s best friend be-cause he’s protecting his blind side. He may neversay a word but always does the right thing.”

Ben Jones – “I just try to lead by my actions.I’m going to put in the work and hope everybodysees it.”

Drew Butler – “He’s so dedicated. He’s alwaysout there working extra hard on his craft. He’s al-ways putting in the work to be the best punter in thecountry.”

Tavarres King – “He has a lot of talent; whenhe’s on the field he can make plays.”

Aaron Murray – “The hardest worker on theteam.”

“I’d definitely say all of these guys come towork every day,” said Jones. “They all have a win-ning attitude. You never see them coming out notwanting to practice so they’re just a pleasure to haveon your team.”

And Jones is fully aware of the strong parentalsupport behind each of the Georgia leaders andwhat it means to each player’s well-being both onand off the football field.

“You learn both your leadership role and yourhard work from your parents,” said Jones, the son ofVickie Jones and the late Stephen Jones of Centre-ville, Ala. “You grew up seeing that. It was installedin you early on and it definitely helps out in the fu-ture.

“Your parents are always there behind you,whether you win or lose,” Jones added. “Mom willbe like, ‘why did you miss that block or something,’and I’ll say, ‘Mom, why weren’t you watching thequarterback or the running back?’ And she’ll say,‘No, I’m watching you.’”

In the kitchen with Henry Worthy

1 1/2 pounds ground beef1 1/2 pounds ground pork3 cloves garlic, minced4 anaheim peppers, chopped2 bell peppers, chopped5 cups whole kernel corn, fresh6 cups chicken stock12 tomatillos, chopped1 Tbs. oregeno2 Tbs. chili powder1 Tbs. cumin1 Tbs. paprika1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped4 (4 oz.) cans green chilis, chopped3 cups onion, chopped2 (28 oz.) cans of green enchilada sauce (Las Palmas is best)

Brown ground beef and pork in onion, garlic, anaheim and bell peppers. Salt and pepper meat mixture. Drain when meat is browned. Add remain-ing ingredients to drained ground meat mixture and simmer for several hours on low heat allowing it to thicken up gradually. Season with salt and pepper to taste and adjust heat if necessary. Garnish with corn tortillas, sour cream and cilantro.

Hanging out in the Worthy kitchen on St. Simons Island is a real treat. Betsy and Henry Worthy are outstanding cooks and entertainers. I love to watch them in action. We share a passion for cooking so it is fun to share recipes and recent dining experiences in such crazy detail and know it is not lost on the listener. I loved learning that Betsy and Henry met at UGA while both attaining degrees in Psychology. After that, they came to raise their family and start a pool business in the Golden Isles over twenty years ago. Henry was an SAE at Georgia in the late 80s hailing from Cedartown, Georgia and Betsy grew up in Atlanta attending The Lovett School before her time in Athens. Now they work together as owners of Worthy Pools and raising two neat young daugh-ters; Lucy, 9 years old and Caroline, 14 years old. Cooking is a family affair for them and I had a ton of fun hanging out with the whole crew on a Sunday afternoon learning how to prepare Henry’s Mexican Green Chili. Henry led the show with Betsy on hand as his sous chef available for rounding up ingredients or making homemade fried tortillas as the garnish for his renowned chili. Lucy told me her friends actually request the chili if they are coming over for a sleepover. Kids are smart these days! Henry is the type that reads cookbooks like novels and thoroughly enjoys good meals prepared by others all the while studying the culinary craft and honing his own tastes and skills. He is able to recreate a chef’s creation after dinner at a great restaurant but he adds his own flair and it turns out even bet-ter. He is relentless at perfecting a dish. Henry created this Mexican Green Chili after much tweaking. It isn’t your typical chili as it has no tomatoes and lots of green peppers. He insists you must use the Las Palmas enchilada sauce as others he tried were not as good. The mexican oregeno is a must as well, regular oregeno has a totally different flavor and doesn’t cut it. Trust me the end result is incredible. It is fresh and so unique. Visit guide2athens website to see more of the photo shoot and “how to” for Henry’s Mexican Green Chili. Take it to your next tailgate. It will be a huge score! Bon appetit- Cheri Leavy

Georgia BulldogsJeff Dantzler’s five keys torockin’ the Georgia Dome

1. Trench Superiority – Boise State will start one 300-pounder, left tackle Nate Potter (6-6, 300). Georgia will starteight, five on the offensive line and three along thedefensive front. Obviously size isn’t every-thing, and it’s not like the Broncos aren’t bigand strong, too. But Georgia’s superiormuscle should come into play andgive the Bulldogs a distinct fourthquarter advantage. Boise State hasan excellent defensive line, andGeorgia’s offensive front has somequestions. But if it’s tight, if the Bull-dogs are able to push the Broncosaround, Georgia’s running game couldmake the difference.

2. Offensive Patience – If Boisewere to hit a trick play – think thehook-and-latter and statue of libertythat delivered the famed 2007 Fi-esta Bowl victory over Oklahoma –and a big play with Kellen Mooreand Doug Martin and jump out infront by a couple of touchdownsearly, it’s vital for the Bulldogs tostay with the game plan. Run,mash and let Aaron Murray makeplays with his arm and legs. Pan-icking and chunking every playwould play right into Boise State’shands. Of course this is a worst-case early scenario, but to maximizethe strength advantages up front,Georgia must stay patient throughoutthe contest.

3. Pressure Moore – One of college football’smost accurate passers of the 21st century, Kellen Moore haspicked apart almost every defense he’s ever faced. Espe-cially if he has plenty of time to throw. Boise State, like Geor-

gia has to replace a couple of outstanding receivers who wereNFL Draft choices. But Boise State, like any other highly suc-cessful program, has had to deal with attrition through theyears and the Broncos have shown no signs of slowing down.

The bottom line, if the Dogs don’t get to Moore, the sec-ondary will have some serious problems. If Georgia isable to get to the stellar senior lefty, the Bulldogs canget negative yardage plays and turnover opportuni-ties.

4. Contain Martin – When profiling DougMartin as one of Boise State’s best players, I com-pared his running style to that of former South-eastern Conference great backs Emmitt Smithand Mark Ingram. He’s got power and balance,

giving Boise State a physical dimension offen-sively. He’s tough to track and bring

down. With Martin, Boise can leadwith the run, and if he’s not con-

tained, Moore throwing consis-tently off of play-action is a

recipe for defensive disaster.

5. Kicking Supremacy – Over thelast two seasons, placekicker Blair Walsh andpunter Drew Butlerhave formed one ofcollege football’s topc o m b i n a t i o n s .They’re back for athird season and give

the Bulldogs quite aweapon – especially in-

side. With a 14-12 recordthe last two years, the Bulldogs obviously haven’t fully

cashed in on their abilities. Georgia is hoping 2011 is a dif-ferent story and the opener is a great opportunity to help de-liver the Bulldogs a victory and set the tone for the remainderof the season.

Location: Boise, Idaho

Conference: Mountain West

Enrollment: 20,000

Record:12-1 overall last season including 33-30 opening win over nationally-ranked Virginia Tech in Washington, D.C. The Broncos, whohave racked up a record of 112-17 in the 2000s – best in the nation – defeated Utah 26-3 in the Las Vegas Bowl with their onlyloss in 2010 being a 34-31 setback to 18th-ranked Nevada.

Mascot: Buster Bronco

Why Boise State could win:The No. 5-ranked Broncos, led by Heisman Trophy candidate Kellen Moore, can put points on the board with anybody in the coun-try. Last season, while finishing fourth in the Heisman race, the 6-1, 191-pound Moore, a left-hander, threw for more than 3,800yards and 35 touchdowns, while amazingly just having six interceptions as he ranked No. 1 in America in passing efficiency with amark of 182.63. Georgia’s defense, which struggled mightily in its first season in the 3-4 alignment, simply can’t allow Moore andhis top returning receiver, Tyler Shoemaker (6-1, 213, Sr.) to stage a passing clinic in the Georgia Dome on Saturday night. And,too, Boise State can hammer at the Bulldogs on the ground as senior running back Doug Martin (5-9, 215) raced for 1,260 yardsand 12 touchdowns last season. Defensively, with eight returning starters including all-conference candidates Shea McClellin (6-3,258, Sr., DE), J.C. Percy (6-1, 222, Jr. LB) and George Iloka (6-3, 216, Sr. SAF), the Broncos are fully capable of complementingtheir explosive offense and making things tough on the Bulldogs.

Why Boise State could lose: The Broncos, despite their scoring prowess and experience on defense, will be at a great size disadvantage against the SEC Bull-dogs. If Georgia can line up, power the ball right at the Boise defense and establish a strong running game early on, thereby keep-ing the Broncos offense on the sidelines for long periods of time, then this season opener could be a long night for Boise State.Too, with the Georgia Dome surely to be covered in red, how are the Broncos going to handle the boisterous Bulldog crowd andthe noise level that’s sure to envelop the blue-and-white clad guys from Idaho? Boise State is going to have to overcome tremen-dous odds to leave Atlanta with a victory.

What Boise State’s coach is saying:“While we know this game will be a tough game for our players and coaches, we look forward to the challenge of playing a pro-gram like Georgia’s,” said Broncos head coach Chris Petersen. “The Chick-fil-A Bowl and ESPN did an outstanding job of putting thisgame together and the nationally televised broadcast will be a great way to start the college football season.”

What Boise State’s fans are saying:“Seriously, anyone outside of Georgia or Idaho expects BSU to win this game,” said one ultra-confident Bronco fan. “That is whywe are No. 5 and they are No. 19. BSU is expected to show up and do their thing, win the game and then fly home. Georgia, theyare expected to lose, which they have done a lot of lately. So, I'm going against my earlier advice and taking the bait. Georgia fans,I'm calling you out. Does your football team even resemble an SEC program anymore? We will see on Sept. 3rd.” But another BoiseState fan is taking a cautious approach, especially when it comes to the Bulldog defense and, in particular, linebacker Alec Ogle-tree. “Sophomore Alec Ogletree has the size (6-3, 235) and speed (played strong safety last season) to create BIG problems forthe Bronco running game,” he said. “He loves to tackle and has a nose for the ball - as evidenced by his team-leading tackles dur-ing their first two scrimmages. I worry that the Hampster (Doug Martin) may not break free as often as we’d like with Ogletree fill-ing the gaps as quickly as he can. I’ll definitely be keeping my eye on No. 9 during the 'Bout in the South. Who will you be watching?”

Noteworthy:Saturday night’s battle in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game will be only the second-ever meeting between the Bulldogs and Broncos, Geor-gia having romped over Boise State 48-13 in the 2005 opener in Athens, when quarterback D.J. Shockley passed for a school record-tying five touchdowns.

#22 Doug Martin, TB5-9, 215 Sr. Stockton, California Kellen Moore rightfully receives national accolades as one of thenation’s premier offensive players. He and Doug Martin giveBoise State a dynamic backfield duo. And make no mistake, Mar-tin is much more than just a counter-puncher who picks up“garbage” yardage against pass-first defenses. Boise State can leadwith the run. Martin has excellent balance and quickness. Hehits the hole quick and is a top flight cutback runner. Picturethe style of Emmitt Smith and Mark Ingram. He’s tough to get ahandle on, and once defenders do, Martin’s size and power makehim extremely tough to bring down. After splitting time andpicking up 769 yards (with an average of 6.0 per carry) and 15touchdowns as a junior in 2009, Martin stepped into the leadrole and came through with a monster season. Averaging 6.3 perpop, Martin chalked up 1,260 yards on the ground with 12touchdowns, and emerged as a top target out of the backfield,hauling in 28 receptions for 338 yards and a pair of scores.Boise’s version of the “M and M Boys” are the number one reasonthe Broncos are ranked No. 5 nationally heading into the season.

#92 Shea McClellin, DE6-3, 258 Sr. Caldwell, IdahoBoise State is more than an offensive powerhouse, the Broncoshave become a much better defensive team under the watch ofhead coach Chris Petersen. Shea McClellin headlines a veterandefensive front, which features a senior starter at all four posi-tions on the line. Billy Winn (6-4, 295) and Chase Baker (6-1,296) give the Broncos muscle on the interior, while McClellinwas the Western Athletic Conference’s premier defensive end ayear ago - and figures to hold the same stature in Boise’s first sea-son in the Mountain West. McClellin rang up 9.5 sacks and 13.5tackles for loss a year ago. His finest performance came in theseason-opening victory over ACC champion Virginia Tech. Mc-Clellin dominated the Hokies with 2.5 sacks and four tackles forloss. He became the first Bronco defender since 1999 to score atouchdown on an interception and fumble return in the sameseason. Named to the Ted Hendricks Award watch list, given an-nually to the country’s top defensive end, McClellin, who hasstarted 24 consecutive games, has proven to be one of collegefootball’s best defenders.

#11 Kellen Moore, QB6-0, 191 Sr. Prosser, WashingtonWe could fill up a couple of pages raving about the accomplish-ments of Boise State’s superb senior southpaw signal caller KellenMoore. A Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award and Davey O’BrienFinalist, the WAC Player of the Year a second team All-Ameri-can, Moore had the most decorated season in Boise State annals– topping himself from the year prior. He hit on 273 of 383passes for 3,845 yards and 35 touchdowns with just six inter-ceptions last season en route to a continued smashing the BoiseState record book. Moore’s passer efficiency rating of 182.63 led

the nation in 2010, and he’s the country’s leading returnee in thecategory. As a junior, while leading the Broncos to a perfect sea-son, he threw for an astounding 39 touchdowns with just threeinterceptions. For his career, Moore has thrown for 99 scoresand 19 interceptions, while racking up 10,867 yards. All kindsof career college football records are in his grasp. Even thoughBoise State must break in new starters at both receiver spots, tightend and on the right side of the offensive line (the lefty Moore’sblindside), it’s a good bet that with Martin to help alleviate de-fensive focus, he’ll have another stellar season. Moore has an ex-cellent arm, pocket savvy and is clearly a tremendous decisionmaker. But his best attribute is sharp-shooting accuracy. Moorehit on an unreal 71.3 percent of his passes last season, and hasbeen on the mark for 68.2 in his career. Over the last three years,the Bulldogs have squared off against the likes of Tim Tebow,Mark Ingram and Cam Newton – all Heisman winners. Moorehas all the credentials and numbers, and now, against a royalSoutheastern Conference foe, has the chance to show that he’s inthis elite class and vault to the forefront in the race for collegefootball’s most prestigious award.

Head Coach Chris PetersenBoise State’s rapid rise as a Division I-A college football powerunder the watches of Dirk Cutter and then Dan Hawkins gottaken to a different level when Chris Petersen as the Broncoscoach in 2006, following Hawkins departure for Colorado. Pe-tersen has put together an incredible 61-5 record, highlighted byundefeated seasons in 2006 and 2009, which earned him thePaul Bryant National Coach of the Year Award on both occasions.Each of those campaigns concluded with Fiesta Bowl victories, anunforgettable historic thriller over Oklahoma and topping ofTCU. A heart-breaking 34-31 overtime loss at Nevada kept Boisefrom another perfect season, as the Broncos finished last yearwith a 12-1 mark. In 2009, Boise State beat PAC-10 champ Ore-gon 19-8 and last season the Broncos clipped ACC champ Vir-ginia Tech 33-30. Petersen led Boise State to four WACchampionships over the past five years, and his Broncos are thefavorites to win the title in their first season in the MountainWest. What has separated Petersen from his Boise State prede-cessors (which also include Houston Nutt), is the overall strengthof the football team on the field. Boise State has maintained itshigh powered passing attack, but has also become an excellentrunning and defensive team. The Broncos ranked second na-tionally in scoring and total defense last season, and 21st in rush-ing offense. Petersen has obviously attracted a great deal ofattention from traditional powers over the past few years. He’shandled success very well, and by staying at Boise State and con-tinuing to succeed at an incredible pace, Petersen has positionedhimself where if he ever does want to go, it can be to a truly spe-cial job. For now though, his aim is to continue to churn outchampionship teams with the hope that one day things maybreak right and the BCS-busting Broncos could perhaps get ashot at the big crystal ball.

ob Behler, the voice of the Broncos, is aGeorgia graduate and former broadcasterfor the baseball and women’s basketballprograms back in the 1980s. He gives us

his insights into the big battle in the big dome inAtlanta.

Kellen Moore is the total package, hisaccuracy is what stands out most to me.Talk about what he brings to the table.

His vision and decision making are great.He understands the offense and opposing de-fenses real well and seems to be at his best inthe hurry-up/no-huddle - when he can take ad-vantage of those things. He'll be the first toadmit he has a very good surrounding cast.

Having an outstanding back like DougMartin to go along with Moore gives theBroncos a “dynamic backfield duo.” Hisemergence last season made Boise extratough to defend, can you talk about hisstrong suits?

He has a nice combination of strength andspeed. He hits the hole well and is tough totackle. The Broncos have another back returningfrom a knee injury - DJ Harper who gives BSU asolid one-two punch.

Chris Petersen has made Boise Statetougher on defense and vastly improvedthe run game to go along with the highoctane pass defense. Is that overalltoughness what stands out to you as thebiggest difference between him and someof the program’s other highly successfulcoaches?

I can't compare him to any other coaches atBoise State, as he was already here when I gotthe job in Boise. But here is what I can sayabout Coach Pete...His organizational skills areamazing. He surrounds himself with an out-standing group of assistants. He's the kind ofperson you'd want your son to play for. Histeams do a tremendous job of focusing on whatthey need to focus on. He's 61-5 in six seasons.

“Coach Pete” hasdone so well, have theBoise people had tosweat it out a coupleof times to keep him,or has his dedicationand success put him ina spot where he wouldonly leave for a dreamjob?

The grass isn't always blue-er somewhereelse.

The offense gets most of the attentionfor Boise State, but the defense was ex-cellent last season and starts almost allseniors, what are the expectations on thatside of the ball?

It starts with the defensive line- all seniorsin the first unit. They are the tone setters. Theywant to force more turnovers than last yearwhen the numbers were down from 2009. Theydo a very good job of swarming to the ball andtackling.

What are the biggest questionsoffensively?

Would have to be at wide receiver whereTitus Young was a second round pick of the Lionsand Austin Pettis was a third round pick of theRams. They are looking to replace them by com-mittee. Tyler Shoemaker is the leading return-ing receiver and he's going to lead a group thathas a lot of promise.

Do you think the lost practice daysfrom NCAA penalties will affect the teamin the Georgia Dome?

Probably not.

With an open date following the gamein the Dome, that has to have given BoiseState time in the preseason to focus extrahard on Georgia.

In each of the last two seasons BSU hasopened with a "marquee" opponent - Oregon andVirginia Tech - I think it really helps focus things

in the dog days of August. I think with the travelto Georgia - back to Boise - and then to Toledoin week three - they wanted a bye week there.Plus Georgia is extremely physical...it worked outwell doing the same thing last year. VirginiaTech - bye - Wyoming.

What’s your take on Georgia? Sounds like they have recruited extremely

well and have a lot of talent back. It sounds liketheir off-season has been focused and they havereally taken care of business. It should be agreat game.

As a proud Georgia alum and formerbroadcaster for Bulldog baseball andwomen’s basketball, what are some ofyour fondest memories of your days inAthens?

On the broadcasting side, covering the runthat the women's basketball team put on to getto the NCAA Championship Game in 1985 is atthe top. Coach Landers had a marvelous teamwith Edwards, McClain, and Harris and he treateda young broadcaster great. It was a pleasurebringing their exploits back to the Bulldog Na-tion. Working in the sports information office forClaude Felton, I learned so much about collegeathletics and working with people. Without myexperiences at UGA, I wouldn't be where I amtoday.

Personally, as someone who came from Cal-ifornia, everyone in Georgia made me feel realwelcome. I wanted to see a different part of thecountry for college and attend a college with agreat broadcasting school and athletic depart-ment. I got everything I wanted. To this day Ihave many close friends from my days in Athens.

20 Bulldawg Illustrated

The season is here, and the two biggest games of the first Saturday of the campaign both involve royal South-eastern Conference programs in “neutral” site showdowns against Western powers with national championshipdreams. The Big XII, which now has 10 teams, is very strong. A Wisconsin-Nebraska Big Ten (which now has12 teams) Championship Game and an ACC showdown for the league title between Florida State and Virginia Tech,combined with the always enormous SEC Championship Game, could give college football a grand day on the firstSaturday in December. It’s time for the march to begin. Enjoy. Because it flies by. Every year.

1. Alabama – The Crimson Tide lost a lot of talent, four first-rounders, including 2009 Heisman winner Mark Ingram, Marcel Dareusand Julio Jones. But Nick Saban’s last four recruiting classes have allbeen ranked in the top three nationally. How many programs could suf-fer these kind of losses and still be the favorite in the stacked SEC. Aftersome down years in the 2000s, Nick Saban again has the Tide rolling.

2. Oklahoma - Bob Stoops has led Oklahoma to four BCS Cham-pionship Games. Since 2000, the Sooners have won seven Big XIIchampionships. Texas two. The schedule has some awfully tough testswith Florida State, Texas, the Aggies and Oklahoma State. But Stoopshas another very talented squad.

3. Oregon – What a game to open the season in Dallas. The Ducksand LSU go head-to-head at the Cowboys Stadium. The PAC-10 mightnot have a slew of top ten teams, but there are plenty of schools capableof pulling off the upset. If Oregon beats the Bayou Bengals, a return to theBCS Championship Game could be in the cards. If the Ducks lose, theycould run the table to the PAC-12 Championship Game.

4. South Carolina – Marcus Lattimore is on his way to being anall-time great back. Alshon Jeffrey is one of the country’s best receivers,and the defense has some impact players. They are clearly the team tobeat in the SEC East and Cam Newton-less Auburn comes to Columbia.Stephen Garcia’s performance will likely dictate whether the Gamecocksare good or great.

5. LSU – The Bayou Bengals have a brutal schedule, opening withOregon and fighting through the teeth of the SEC West. LSU lost a lotof talent on defense, but there are some threats at the skill positions.The Tigers could go something like 8-4 and still be a top ten quality team.

6. Florida State –Florida is not what Florida was while dominatingthe ‘Noles in the ‘2000s. Miami is in disaster mode. Jimbo Fisher has achance to really make a move at Florida State. The Seminoles have theACC’s best talent.

7. Nebraska – What an opportune time for the Cornhuskers to bemoving to the Big Ten. With Ohio State’s issues and a shaky hire withlow talent at Michigan, the window is open. Don’t be surprised if Ne-braska wins the Big Ten championship within its first couple of years inthe league. The Huskers and Wisconsin may well play twice this seasonwith big stakes.

8. Wisconsin – Russell Wilson’s decision to enroll at Wisconsin haselevated Wisconsin from prime Big Ten challenger to a national titlecontender. He gives Wisconsin an extra element to go along with theBadgers superb meat and potatoes style that has garnered a lot of victo-ries.

9. Boise State – If Boise State beats Georgia, the Broncos will havethe credibility to get a crack at the BCS Championship Game if they goundefeated and there aren’t two big boy unbeatens. Kellen Moore andDoug Martin are a tremendous one-two backfield punch. And the de-fense is loaded with seniors.

10. Oklahoma State – Mike Gundy has a good thing going in Still-water. There’s only one problem. The Cowboys play in the same stateas Bob Stoops and the Sooners. As usual, Oklahoma State will be ableto score a ton of points. The Cowboys have a ton of talent at the skill po-sitions.

11. Virginia Tech – The Hokies lost some talent off of last season’sACC championship team, including star quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Butthe schedule couldn’t set up any better for the Hokies, who don’t playFlorida State – until the ACC Championship Game.

12. Stanford – Jim Harbaugh did incredible things on the Farm,most notably posting winning records over both Southern Cal andNotre Dame, and leading the Cardinal to a No. 4 national finish lastseason. But he’s up the road coaching the 49ers now. Andrew Luck issome kind of special quarterback. He would have been the top pick inthis past draft, and certainly will be next April.

13. Texas A&M - Mike Sherman, slowly but surely, has Texas A&Mturned back around. The Aggies made some serious history last season,beating Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas. Von Miller will be tough to re-place and the Aggies enter this season with high expectations for the firsttime in several years.

14. Ohio State – These are hard times in Columbus and thebiggest question is whether Urban Meyer will be ready to returnto coaching in 2012. If not, Ohio State will have to go in an-other direction. Despite all of the embarrassment heaped on“the Blackeye Nation,” they still have one of the Big Ten’s mosttalented rosters.

15. TCU – Gary Patterson has done a tremendous job and isthe toast of Fort Worth. This is the Horned Frogs final year inthe Mountain West before jumping to the Big East. The firsttwo games are at Baylor and Air Force, and both will be toughtests. The Horned Frogs were undefeated and won the Rose Bowllast year. Who would have ever dreamed that? TCU goes toBoise on November 12th.

16. Arkansas – Losing sensational tailback Knile Davis to asevere ankle injury is a devastating blow to the Razorbacks.They’ll still be one of the SEC’s best teams, but the schedule isof course tough, and having to replace both Ryan Mallett andDavis likely squishes any SEC Championship dreams.

17. Arizona State – Back-to-back October road games atOregon and Utah will tell the story on just how good the SunDevils. This is a darkhorse team. Arizona State has 14 startersback from a team that that lost to Wisconsin, Oregon, SouthernCal and Stanford by a total of just 17 points. And Dennis Er-ickson knows how to win.

18. Auburn – On the heels of the dream season, it will bedifficult for Auburn to repeat as SEC champs with the loss ofCam Newton, Nick Fairley and most of an awesome offensiveline. But Auburn is loaded at tailback and has some serious bigplay ability at receiver.

19. Mississippi State – Dan Mullen has done a great job atMississippi State, and the Maroons have high hopes for 2011.Chris Relf, who was lights out in the Gator Bowl bludgeoningof Michigan, is one of the SEC’s top quarterbacks. MSU is phys-ical and they’ll hit anybody. There’s no intimidation factor.State won’t be able to sneak up on anyone this year after sack-ing Feorgia, Florida and the Wolverines

20. Michigan State – The Spartans put together one of theirgreat seasons of all-time, going 11-1 and sharing the Big Tenchampionship last year. Then came a mauling from Alabama.Will they be able to bounce back and not be hung over from thathumiliation.

21. Texas –Getting heralded tailback Malcolm Brown is a bigstep in getting the Longhorns back. Texas just hasn’t had anoffensive identity. Mack Brown shook up the coaching staff andthe Longhorns figure to use last season’s embarrassment and anassumed unified coaching staff to get back on track.

22. Georgia – The Bulldogs have questions at tailback, theO-Line and receiver. But the schedule is more than manage-able. The big question is whether the defense can make a bigjump? Georgia needs immediate help from a talented freshmancrop, most notably tailback Isaiah Crowell.

23. Florida – Will Muschamp’s defense should be one of thebest in the SEC. There are questions on offense, most notablyat quarterback. The schedule is extremely tough, especially inOctober. If Florida falters, there will be inevitable comparisonsto Ron Zook.

24. Utah – Kyle Whittingham has done an excellent job,continuing what Urban Meyer was able to accomplish. NowNorm Chow has come on board as the Utes offensive coordina-tor. Year One in the PAC-12 will obviously be a major challenge,but the schedule breaks Utah’s way, as the Utes miss both Oregonand Stanford.

25. Southern Mississippi – This is a program that has pulledoff numerous upsets through the years and been a bowl regular.The Golden Eagles have some defensive standouts this seasonand a schedule that makes them the team to beat in ConferenceUSA.

ith the football season fast approaching there are oftenthings that get lost in the shuffle of kicking the season offon the right foot. Something that shouldn’t be overlookedhowever is an event that was held by the UGA coaches

wives this past Saturday. Around the first part of June, 4-year old Kasyn Olivadotti,

daughter of UGA linebackers coach Kirk Olivadotti, was diag-nosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (A.L.L.). In an effort toshow support of one of their own, the UGA coaches wives, headedby Katharyn Richt and Paige Grantham and teamed with Chil-dren’s Healthcare of Atlanta, held a fundraiser to benefit pediatriccancer research and reassure the Olivadottis. The event includedan exclusive VIP tour of the Butts-Mehre building, a “chalk talkand team update” from strength and conditioning coach JoeTereshinski and concluded with a luncheon emceed by ChuckDowdle at the Georgia Center. Other guests included former play-ers Russ Tanner, Jon Stinchcomb and David Greene, as well as,former head coach Ray Goff.

This event, which will now be held annually, shows just howgreat the Bulldawg nation really is. The biggest game that Georgiahas played in years is just days away but people close to the pro-gram took time to do the right thing and show support to a mem-ber of the Georgia family. Because that’s what Georgia is all about,win or lose, we are a family.

10 things that must happen

Gruff & GrumpBy Chad White and Al Hickson

1) Beat Florida.

2) Coach Mark Richt must set the tone ofaggressive play in all phases.

3) Coach Mark Richt must set the tone ofaggressive play in all phases.

4) The coaching staff must play to win.They must recognize the right time to takechances. When the opportunities presentthemselves, no matter what point in the game,we must take them. No more field goalsinside the three yard line with only inches togain ... in almost any imaginable scenario, thiscan not repeat itself.

5) Aaron Murray must find a way to repeathis tremendous freshman year without thesecurity of AJ Green.

6) The starting unit at offensive line mustremain injury free.

7) Isaiah Crowell must be as advertised. TheDawgs need an immediate impact from thefreshman. No playmaker in the offensivebackfield, no second trip to the dome.

8) The defensive line must dominate the biggames. This position has depth on a teamwithout much depth. A veteran group withloads of experience, this is an impressive unitat just maybe the most important position tobe impressive. Simply put, they must dominate.

9) The secondary must force turnovers andbig plays. The safeties must play much betterif the Dawgs are gonna return to the nastybunch everyone yearns for them to be.

10) Coach Richt must set the tone foraggressive play from every phase of the game.
