The Grantham Black Pack



I have only been worshiping the Georgia Bulldogs for about the past 15 years or so. The portion of my life prior to that was spent as a child that just loved Uga, Hairy Dawg, the Power G, and the colors Red & Black. That being said, I have rarely seen a Dawgs' defense play as well as they did last Saturday. I'm going to start calling this group the "Grantham Black Pack" (see T-shirt above).

I will be the first to realize that we were playing a significantly lesser opponent. Nonetheless, the defense was playing very disciplined, they were swarming to the ball, and the speed looked top notch at virtually every position.

It is exciting to see that we have a group that act like a bunch of ball hawks! I'll finish my rant with a few highlights from last Saturday.
-How about those first half stats!!!
-Chris Low brags on the defensive coaching at UGA. Haven't heard that since CVG!
-Spurrier says the Dawgs have the best pass rush in the nation!
-Akeem Dent and Boykin are going to thrive in this scheme!

  1. I'm the next big UGA fan, however lets leave the cheerleading to the pretty girls on the field. Maybe, just maybe you are getting a little ahead of your self. The fact is I agree. This coach is the fit we needed at UGA. But let play a few more games first. Lets stop a "decent" SEC team or two then lets make some bold statements about how great our defense is this year. just a thought

  2. Hey Anon,

    I did mention a disclaimer stating "I will be the first to realize that we were playing a significantly lesser opponent". So, please expand on how I am "getting ahead" of myself? I mentioned a few facts, then a few quotes from news articles. Maybe I should have linked to them...???

  3. It doesn't matter who you're playing, you still have to go out and execute the game plan and thats exactly what the defense did.

    We have NEVER shut down a spread offense like that and I don't care if it was a I-AA team, that performance was impressive.

    We've known all along that we had talent on the defense that just needed to be "coached-up". Yeah they still have to prove it against much better competition but there is no doubt that this defense is going to make some plays this year.
