While some Dawg fans (myself included) have been super critical of the coaching staff, sometimes for good reason. Great job by Kelly Lambert of the Athens Banner Herald in capturing the scary moment.
Please notice a piece of what I think is Rambo's helmet blocking a portion of the seven in Fannon's jersey. According to Richt, Rambo was talking to his teammates and moving all his extremities. Rambo, who has been diagnosed with a concussion was alert when he was carted off the field. Rambo was knocked unconscious on this play and the game was delayed for 12 minutes while Georgia's medical staff attended to Rambo in what was one of the more scary scenes I had ever seen inside Sanford Stadium. Below is a picture of Rambo's play knocking the ball out of Fannon's hands. By the way a lot of Georgia's success on defense after Auburn's first to drives had everything to do with Rambo playing safety instead of Evans. While Rambo is a reserve safety he is clearly better than the starter Bryan Evans who was burnt for Auburn's first touchdown. The play of the game had to be the one Bacarri Rambo made to jar the ball loose from Auburn running back Mario Fannon on a pass play that would have given the War Eagles first down inside Georgia's 10 yard line. Furthermore, UGA only had four penalties so hopefully the punishment and embarrassment served up by Richt last week will continue to prove beneficial the rest of this season. Along with Cox not throwing an INT, UGA did not turn the ball over and Georgia now moves to 16-0 under Mark Richt when we do not turn the ball over. On Saturday we rushed for 169 yards and it seemed we got better as the game went along and that in my opinion is the sign of a good team.Īlong with the continued improvement in the running game, Joe Cox has now gone two games without an interception. In my opinion the running game had everything to do with us not losing anything on offense. We lose Green in the first half Saturday night and for the most part we do not miss a beat on offense. Earlier in the season AJ Green was our offense and the reason we started 3-1 not 0-4. If you read my game preview that I posted Thursday night you would have recognized how Georgia has improved in the running game since the second half of the Vanderbilt game and it is this improvement and commitment in the running game that allowed us to come back. My one question to this madness, how does this happen? I am not sure how but I am glad it did. For the rest of the game the yardage looked like this, Auburn 197 and Georgia 344. What made me more worried was the fact that after both teams had two possesions the total yardage looked like this Auburn 156, Georgia -2. Saturday night in Athens, Ga marked the 113th meeting of The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry and like many of the other contests in this series, everyone was in for made for a memorable experience 'Between the Hedges.' The Tigers/War Eagles/Plainsmen went up 14-0 nothing and I would be lying if I told you I was not a little a lot nervous.
