Yaw, Yaw, Yaw Bleaux Out

I'll make this short because we're moving right along to Tennessee Week.

The Georgia vs. Ole Miss game wasn't televised, and you wouldn't learn anything from reading the box score.

Georgia's offense started off pretty strong after a jittery first drive. We put up around 280 yards of offense in the first half, and landed 17 first half points. But the first half story was the defense. Georgia was gashed for 2 quarters and 9 minutes of the third quarter by the Ole Miss offense. (Image: Hipple)

In fairness, the Ole Miss offensive line is positively massive. For all the Rebels' problems (and there are many), beef and strength along the Oline isn't one of them. When the second half started with a nine minute, 18-play drive touchdown drive from the Rebels, things looked a bit troublesome. However, as the Rebels tied the game 17-17 on that lengthy drive, the entire Bulldog team woke up and brought out the whooping stick.

From that moment, Georgia outscored the Rebels 28-0. During the next quarter and a half, Georgia converted an onside kickoff, heavily pursued a punt block, showed flashes of domination along the left side of our offensive line, ran the ball for a country mile and completely shut down the Ole Miss offense.

Were the Dawgs flat initially? Well, the offense sure wasn't.

Other thoughts:

-- Brandon Miller had his second best game as a Bulldog. His Ok State game would be his other huge highlight. He had an interception and two punishing tackles in this game.

-- Mikey Henderson made a shoe string tackle in the open field on a punt return attempt that was positively brilliant.

-- Thomas Friggin' Brown ran buck wild. You can read about that in any of the papers.

-- Booing Chandler: If you boo your own college football players, you're an asshole. There's no ifs, ands or butts. You are complete and total douche.

-- One theory on the onside kickoff came from ScenicCityDawg. He theorized that the two blocked kicks last year vs. Ole Miss really pissed Coach Fabris off. Fabris, a former Ole Miss player, dug deep into his bag of tricks for this one to settle the score after our special teams looked anything but special last year.

-- That said...our kickoff coverage still mostly blows. We regressed after tremendous progress in the Alabama game.

That's all I can think of right now.
