Quarterback Joe Cox may have finally silenced his critics with his performance against the Arkansas Razorbacks. Cox posted career numbers, finishing 18 of 26 for 375 yards, 5 touchdowns and 1 interception. He looked comfortable in the pocket and displayed a confidence in his ability to operate the offense. Tailback Richard Samuel also posted career numbers, rushing 104 yards and 1 touchdown. Caleb King resurfaced and finished with 59 yards and showed that he’s improved his pass protection blocking. The Samuel and King tandem is going to be dangerous.
Wide receiver A.J. Green is a beast and I’m happy he’s a Bulldog. Green finished with 137 yards on 7 receptions and 2 touchdowns. Michael Moore is emerging a legitimate second threat, especially on those beneficial but dangerous middle crossing routes. Freshman receivers continued to show glimpses promise, especially Tavarres King (64 yards and 1 touchdown) and Orson Charles (62 yards and 1 touchdown). Aron White finished with 21 yards and 1 touchdown.
Although the score reflects that the Hogs put up 41 points on the Dawgs, the G-Day Defense locked Arkansas down when they had to do it. At the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter if your defense bleeds yards and points, as long as they man up when the game’s on the line and tonight they did just that. Ryan Mallett looked awesome most of the game, but couldn’t hit the side of a barn at the end of the fourth quarter because Georgia stuffed the run and play tight coverage.
This year’s Georgia team may be “light” on “superstar talent” but its high on heart and determination, and that’s a good thing because it seems like some of our highly touted “superstar” teams often lacked heart, especially when faced with adversity. Tonight, the Bulldogs proved that they can take a team’s best punch (Mallet’s 3 touchdowns in the first quarter) and offer their own counterpunch. I’m proud to be a Georgia Bulldog tonight.
Next week: Arizona State Sun Devils
