Wonder What Brittany Was Doing Last Night?
In a day where Saban got out coached, Oklahoma State needed all 60 minutes to beat Kansas State, I screwed up remembering one of the most iconic plays of the last ten years, UCLA took control of the Pac-12 South, and Mark Richt called a timeout right before the half to score a sixth touchdown of the quarter, there was nothing like than seeing South Carolina's pact with the Devil expire.
Yeah, they've played good defense, but when teams just give you defensive and special teams points on a platter, that isn't hard. It also isn't hard to lose when that is a feature of your scoring plan.
Now, it is up to the Dawgs to TCB.

Consider 2012 for a moment
Given the slow pace of this week with the expected beat down of New Mexico State, I just wanted to mention the following....
In 2012, Georgia returns 9 of 11 starters on defense including 20 of 22 on the two deep. We only lose Tyson and Boykin.
On offense, we should return 7 or 8 depending on what Orson Charles decides to do. We lose three long time starters on the offensive line, and we lose Bruce Figgins. By my count, there's only one other senior (Aron White) on the entire offensive two deep. That's the most returning talent I can remember.
Losing Butler and Walsh will mean less experience at the specialists positions, but it doesn't necessarily mean a downgrade from FG production that we've seen this year. Punter will likely drop off, but we've always had good punters.
Additionally, there's a reasonably high probability that the 2012 schedule will weaken. The rotational assignment for cross division play will change with the addition of Texas A&M and likely Missouri. Even if the SEC goes to nine conference games, the odds are better than average that we will not rotate into Bama or LSU next year. Swapping Bama (on the road) for Missouri (anywhere in the universe) certainly increases our chances of making the SEC title game.
I would feel much better about our chances of making a big run next year if we see a mammoth Juco OT commit and potentially the move of Artie Lynch to OT. We just need to shore up the OT position so we're not relying on FR. Otherwise, I really like the make up of this team going forward.

Is There A Way To Blame Martinez for the Special Teams Issues?

| Who has two thumbs and coaches an under-performing special teams unit? (Image: Hipple) |
Oklahoma does spread out the special teams among assistants, and the Sooners are also having their special-teams struggles this season.It does make me wonder...

Game of the Week
You know, South Carolina vs. Arkansas? While the game of the Centrury of the Week is being played in Tuscaloosa, likely for the right to beat the bejebus out of the SEC East winner play in Atlanta for the SEC Championship, South Carolina and Arky are playing, with very much on the line for Georgia. For my money, I'll be watching the game on ESPN.
As for that other game, some Alabama fans have concocted a nearly perfect dish of the game. Warning, it starts with a bacon weave.
Corndog casserole. Where healthy hearts go to die.
