Spring Issue, April 27, 2010

From the editor : vance leavyAhh, springtime in Georgia. There truly isn’t anything better

as the sun and the flora finally put old man winter in the rearviewmirror. And boy wasn’t this winter a particularly brutal one?

With the season change comes new opportunity. And for ourbeloved Georgia football team, a recommitment to getting back tothe basics is as refreshing as azaleas and dogwoods in full bloom.

We went with the photo of Coach Richt and Grantham for ourcover because the chemistry of these two men will inevitably de-cide whether our catch line “New and Improved” is accurate ornot.

On the face of things, Richt’s new hires are doing all the rightthings. Each coach is caring and compassionate about the student-athletes, but there is no slack being given if the players aren’t doingwhat is asked and expected of them.

And that most definitely is coming from Richt himself, whohad to make the most difficult decision of a head coach by bootingseveral young men from the program.

We won’t get into the speculation of what did or didn’t hap-pen with certain players. Thankfully that’s never really been our gighere at BI anyways. However, we do hope for the very best for theyoung men, who have gone from the joys of college life that in-cluded playing between the hedges, to being faced with very realsituations that will inevitably shape the rest of their lives.

With that, we turn the page and find a football team full of en-ergy that now must rally behind its quarterback, Aaron Murray andcontinue to absorb the complexities of a new defensive scheme.

I’m completely through the roof about the 3-4 defense. Folkshave been whining for years about our bend, but don’t break phi-losophy and now it is a thing of the past. Get ready because Oper-ation Attack has arrived at UGA and opposing teams’ QBs will begetting a belly full of presssure once the season starts in September.

BI writer, Murray Poole updates us on the progress of the 3-4 on page 22. We also take a look at how the players rank at eachposition with our depth chart coverage on page 6. Both featureswill get your juices flowing. I know that to be true because Cheriwas jubilant when she handing me the proofs. She even started

talking about being ready for football.Don’t you just love the South?

Speaking of which, please enjoyall the awesome photos from variousevents we have covered. There are over150 images, which means we’re doinga good job of ensuring that our publi-cation is aptly named.

What I like most is that we’re doc-umenting so many people contribut-ing in a positive manner. From former

Bulldog Marcus Stroud’s benefit to donor celebrations for academ-ics and athletics, it’s so inspiring to see. And don’t forget about UGAalum, Kelley Hollowell, whose love of English Bulldogs inspiredher to create an event to help dogs in need. Or how about St. Si-mons native and UGA student Lexie Love who helped organize agolf tournament in April benefitting the Boys and Girls Club ofAthens.

Speaking of the Love family and golf, I can’t begin to describehow incredible it will be when the PGA tour holds an event at theSeaside Course at Sea Island Golf Club in October. Davis Love IIIis one of most respected stewards of the game and will certainlydraw some top names as the host. Don’t miss Reg Murphy’s columnabout the McGladrey Classic coming to Sea Island on page 13.Who better to document this historic event than a Golden Isles res-ident that has spent his entire career bettering journalism and thegame of golf.

The PGA tour stop at Sea Island was the inspiration behindour Golden Getaways editorial feature in our center spread (page16, 17). While Cheri and I split time between Athens and the coastthese days, the Golden Isles is still our home. We thought it wasprudent to remind Georgia fans of what all our town has to offer.

We also encourage our readers not to miss some great hap-penings going on in Athens in the coming months. The NationwideTour tees off this week at the UGA Golf Course with the playing ofthe Stadion Athens Classic at Uga (page 30). And for music lovers,don’t miss Athfest, June 23-27. Also, don’t miss our Guide 2 Athensfeature on page 31. And when in Athens, look for our little blackbook that spotlights the best businesses in the Classic City.

I’m almost done with my self-promotion, but have to edu-cate some of our readers that might not know about our spin-offpublication of BI called Bulldawg Illustrated Athens. For the lastfour months, we have been covering all the other UGA sports andtheir fanbases in an every other week print product that’s deliveredexclusively in Athens. However anybody can read every issue viaour website at www.bulldawgillustrated.com. It’s been a thrill toproduce with the success of our Hoops’ programs and all the oth-ers. Kudos must go to the UGA Equestrian team for winning an-other national title. And the same goes for Coach Haack’s men’s golfteam who won another SEC (photos on page 18).

Finally, we would like to dedicate this issue to the memory ofUGA alum, Carolyn Carter who passed on April 21 on Sea Islandafter 91 wonderful years. Not many loved UGA like she did. I en-courage you to go to www.grady.uga.edu and learn more aboutthis awesome lady. Her esteemed life and career was surrounded byjournalism, so we sincerely hope this issue meets the standards shelived by and reflects her fun living spirit and her love of Georgia.

Recruiting, spring football, the NationalFootball League Draft and the Georgia depthchart have all been completed.

Renowned Atlanta Journal-Constitutioncolumnist Mark Bradley, in reverence to base-ball’s hot stove league, coined this time of yearfor passionate southern pigskin fans anxiouslyawaiting the upcoming season “the ceiling fanleague.”

Time for some facts, history, and well con-ceived opinions to further whet the appetite.

For a fifth consecutive year, Georgia didnot have a defensive player taken in the firstround of the NFL Draft.

Before the first Bulldog was drafted, line-backer Rennie Curran was a late third roundpick, Georgia’s rivals had a slew of players se-lected. The talent level argument? Prior toCurran, Florida had seven players drafted, Al-abama four, Tennessee and Tech three each.

Georgia’s record the last two years againstFlorida, Alabama, Tennessee and Tech is 2-5.Talent.

With that in mind, Georgia should surefire hold its own against the Gators, Volunteers,and Yellow Jackets – and, who knows, maybeBama too – this year. With what these schoolslost, especially the Gators, the window is openfor Georgia to make a major push at an out-standing year – and follow it up with a superbrecruiting class with an incredibly fertile PeachState crop for 2011.

Georgia hasn’t beaten Florida and Ten-nessee in the same season since the SEC splitinto divisions in 1992.

The Bulldogs last beat the Gators and Vol-unteers in the same season in 1988 – VinceDooley was the Bulldogs head coach andDamon Evans was a redshirt receiver.

Even though the Bulldogs, like Floridaand Tennessee, must replace its quarterback,the window is open for Georgia.

A big reason for optimism is the upswingof talent of the defensive side – if the progres-sion continues. Justin Houston, BaccarriRambo, Cornelius Washington, DeAngeloTyson, Abry Jones, Brandon Boykin and Bran-den Smith were all highly touted prospects andhave shown signs of progression. There aresome potential All-SEC players there. Houstonalready has been. And that means there arealso some potential first round picks.

In the 2000s, Georgia has had ten firstround picks.

Richard Seymour, Marcus Stroud, CharlesGrant, Johnathan Sullivan, George Foster, BenWatson, David Pollack, Thomas Davis,Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno arethe Bulldogs first round picks of the 2000s.

Pollack and Davis, who were a part ofMark Richt’s first recruiting class at Georgia in2001 are the last two defenders to be firstround picks, as both were selected in April of2005. They are also the last two Peach State na-tives to play for the Bulldogs who were firstrounders.

Stafford, a Dallas native, and Moreno,from New Jersey, are the lone first round picksover the last five years. Stafford was the No. 1overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft andMoreno was the first tailback selected, goingNo. 12 overall.

The fact that Georgia had the first quar-terback and tailback taken in the same draftshould certainly have premier prospects beam-ing about the Bulldogs. Georgia is amongst thefront-runners for a majority of the top in-stateprospects and some elite out-of-staters at thesetwo positions, plus many others.

Here is the quote that should have everyBulldog salivating. First year defensive coordi-nator Todd Grantham: "I have always be-lieved— and I believe to this day— that if wetook the best players in the state of Georgia andwithin a five-hour radius of our school, if theycome to the University of Georgia, then we canwin the SEC championship and compete for anational title. And I think you can be betterthan Florida, you can be better than Texas, andyou can be better than Southern Cal – if thoseplayers came to the University of Georgia . Sothat’s what excited me about coming here.”

In the Bulldogs 30-24 victory over Tech toclose out the regular season, 11 of Georgia’s 22offensive and defensive starters were out-of-state players. On Georgia’s powerhouse 2002SEC championship squad, 17 of the 22 offen-sive and defensive starters were Peach State na-

tives. Sometimes a new voice refreshes and re-

inforces the obvious. The talent in Georgia is amongst the na-

tion’s best. It is a major reason why the Bulldogprogram is never too far from excellence, andwhy the Georgia job is amongst the most at-tractive in college football.

There is the opportunity for Georgia to dosomething special in 2010 on the gridiron andthen follow that up with a top two or three na-tionally ranked recruiting class. These next 10months could produce big results and lay thegroundwork for some major championshipdividends in the near future.

Tidbits to whet the pigskin appetite

Too many missed tackles, the offensiveline not being able to provide space for therunning backs in the first half of the season,breakdowns in the special teams and a de-fense that surrendered points by the truck-load.

Yes, indeed, the 2009 Georgia footballteam was plagued by scores of fundamentalerrors as they struggled to an 8-5 final recordlast autumn … the worst won-loss mark forMark Richt in his nine years at the UGA helm.

That’s why, in this year’s recently-con-cluded spring practice, the Bulldog coachingstaff took their team back to the basics, puttinga heavy emphasis on pure blocking and tack-ling with designs of making the ’09 campaignnothing but a painful memory.

In fact, with former Dallas Cowboys linecoach Todd Grantham joining the staff as de-fensive coordinator, Scott Lakatos comingfrom Connecticut to assume the tutelage ofthe Georgia secondary and former Vanderbiltassistant Warren Belin coming on board tocoach the inside linebackers, it was almost likea new beginning for this football team as theBulldogs got back to what made them so suc-cessful during their championship seasonsunder Wallace Butts, Vince Dooley and Richt.

And I can tell you right now, after the re-cently-completed 15 days of spring practice,this Georgia football team seems well on itsway to evolving into a fundamentally-soundteam for the all-important 2010 season.

Take the Bulldogs’ annual G-Day gamefor example. In that April 10 skirmish be-tween the Red and Black squads at SanfordStadium, the increased emphasis on the basicfundamentals of football was apparent to the38,742 Georgia fans who came early andstayed late to glean an idea of what this up-coming Bulldog edition was all about. Espe-cially, the Dawg Nation had to be impressedwith the improved and crisp tackling ren-dered by the Black team, which was com-prised of Georgia’s first-team defense andwhich shut down the Reds, or first-team of-fense, by that final 17-7 tally.

And, hey, speaking of doing things right,how about there being just one measlypenalty assessed in the G-Day game … thatbeing a mere 5-yarder against the Reds forjumping offside in the third quarter? No 15-yard penalties for personal fouls, no 15-yardpenalties for clipping or pass interference. No10-yard penalties for holding. Although thiswas admittedly just a spring intrasquad gamewhere the officials might have overlooked afew transgressions, it was still a most positivesign for a team that has seen the yellow flagsfly in abundance over the past two seasons.

To a man – both coaches and playersalike – the Bulldogs think this reemphasizingof the fundamental elements of the game thisspring was something that was vitally needed,that is, if Georgia is to become a major playerin the Southeastern Conference champi-onship picture once again.

“Obviously in this game, you’ve alwaysgot to be fundamental,” offered Georgia assis-tant head coach and defensive line mentorRodney Garner. “The fundamental team usu-ally wins unless you’re just so much more tal-ented than everybody. And in the SEC, there’snot that many teams that have that kind ofseparation from a talent standpoint, so youbetter be fundamentally sound.”

New Georgia assistant Belin, who turnedout a number of All-SEC linebackers at Van-derbilt, said there’s no way this Bulldog de-fense can become formidable again withoutputting the basics back in place.

“I think (us going back to fundamen-tals) should pay off in the season,” Belin said.“In order to be a great defense, the funda-mentals of blocking, protection and tacklingand making big plays, those are the big thingswith Coach Grantham and this 3-4 defense,that’s what we’re looking for … guys that areproductive. We’re looking for young men toknow their assignments and just fly aroundand have some fun.”

The Georgia players, especially, reallyseemed to embrace the return-to-fundamentals theme in the spring drills.

“I think it’s good for us,” said junior cor-nerback Brandon Boykin. “ I think it’s some-thing we kind of got away from last year and

putting things back in perspective, it’s allow-ing us to know we were not as good as wethought we were, and so we’ve got to go backto doing those fundamental things that madeus good, and that’s good for us.”

“In the spring, you’re going in and tryingto get your mind focused back on footballafter the break,” offered senior outside line-backer Darryl Gamble, who made the movefrom the inside in the days leading up to theG-Day game. “The main focus is just learninga new defense. I guess since you’re in collegeyou already know all the fundamentals. Soyou’re just trying to retune and get to knowwhat’s going on in the new defense.”

Fellow junior outside linebacker JustinHouston thinks the Bulldogs’ getting back tothe basics this spring is going to pay huge div-idends in the upcoming season, when Geor-gia attempts to make a strong bid for the SECEastern Division title and the conferencechampionship.

“I think it’s going to pay off great,” saidHouston. “That’s the main thing, fundamen-tals and technique. I think that will play a bigrole in any level of college football.”

Likewise, on the offensive side of the ball,the Bulldogs say simply by re-emphasizingthe fundamentals, the Georgia coaching staffhas taken a big step toward avoiding some ofthe pitfalls the 2009 team experienced and, atthe same time, gotten the Bulldogs’ youngestplayers off on solid footing, technique-wise.

“I think we’ve done pretty well there(going back to basic teaching),” said redshirtfreshman quarterback Aaron Murray. “Hav-ing guys step up at new positions and espe-cially with the receivers, just making sure theyknow everything in and out, their routes andmaking sure they know it perfect. And knowthe playbook pretty good because we’re goingto be rotating guys in and out. We’re prettythin at receiver, don’t have a lot of depth there,so in case somebody gets injured they need toknow the ins-and-outs and be ready to stepup. And I think they’ve done a tremendousjob in the off-season learning their stuff. In thespring and summer, we just need to makesure we perfect everything and get ready forthe season.”

“That’s going to help us a lot because wehave a lot of young guys that really don’t havea lot of experience,” declared junior All-Amer-ica candidate A.J. Green. “So just keeping itsimple so they can play fast and understand ita little more really helps.”

But Richt is quick to point out that thisspring practice involved much more than justthe Bulldogs sharpening their blocking andtackling skills.

“We are working on fundamentals, thereno doubt we’re working on fundamentals,but there’s a whole lot of scheming going on,too,” said Richt, around the mid-point of thespring sessions. “These coaches are competi-tive and these players are, too, and they’rewanting to win the drills. We’re exposing ourplayers to this new scheme and there’s a cou-ple ways of doing it. You can go at a snail’space scheme-wise or you can just throw it allin there and let their heads swim for a whileand then the fog clears, and it starts to cometogether and we’ve taken more of that ap-proach, really. And it’s still a little foggy for boththe coaches and players quite frankly but thething I love the most is the high-energy levelout there right now. The tempo has been asgood as I can remember”

And it’s a Georgia Bulldogs’ tempo theteam and fans hope will carry over into theSept. 4 season kickoff against Louisiana-Lafayette, then on into the first major test ofthe new slate the following week in Colum-bia, S.C.

As many of the old-time and famousfootball coaches like to say, you can throw allkinds of frills and thrills at the opposing de-fenses and offenses these days, you can showa team all sorts of different looks on both sidesof the ball, but what’s going to separate thewinning team and the losing team when thefinal gun sounds is the one that simply blocksand tackles the best.

And because of the heavy focus they puton these areas in this year’s spring practice, the2010 Bulldogs are confident they will be thatteam.

NeverNX; the only brand that allows you to tell your “UGA” story, highlight your “UGA” journey and showcase your “UGA” spirit.

s everyone in Bulldog Nation knows, Georgia’s three-man quarterback race in this year’s spring practicebecame a two-man scenario when redshirt freshman Zach Mettenberger was dismissed from the teamon Sunday, April 18, due to his transgressions during spring break in a Lowndes County bar.

That action by head coach Mark Richt came after Mettenberger had sparkled in the recent G-Day gameby passing for 150 yards and two touchdowns.

Now, as everyone in Bulldog Nation is also aware Richt, this past week, listed redshirt freshman Aaron Mur-ray at the No. 1 position on the post-spring depth chart ahead of junior-to-be Logan Gray, who served as JoeCox’s backup last season.

Most Georgia football fans, before the spring drills even began, had projected Murray, the 6-1, 210-poundformer All-America from Plant High in Tampa, Fla., to be the successor to Cox in the upcoming 2010 cam-paign.

"We just see Aaron ahead of Logan right now,” said Richt this past Thursday while unveiling the Bulldogs’new depth chart heading into the off-season. “That's not a guarantee that he'll be the starter, but that's where itstands today. It's just a matter of consistency,” Richt added. “Basically, Aaron has performed better than Loganto this point; that's all there is to it."

And, yes, Richt said Murray would have topped the depth chart even if Mettenberger had not been bootedoff the team.

"I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but Aaron would have been No. 1," said Richt.And here is what Murray told Bulldawg Illustrated about the possibility of his becoming Georgia’s start-

ing quarterback.“It’s definitely a huge responsibility,” he said. “We’re a major, Division I program and we expect to win every

year. That’s our goal, to go out there and win the SEC and win the National Championship. So, yes, it wouldbe a great responsibility and also a great honor for me to be the quarterback for a great team, a great universitywith a great tradition. That’s my goal – I want to be that quarterback, I want to be that guy so I’ve just got to goout day-in and day-out and work my hardest and hopefully, great things will happen,” said Murray, pointingout that’s why Parade All-America players such as himself come to a school like the University of Georgia.

Over the three scrimmages this spring, Murray completed 31-of-53 (59%) passes for 380 yards, twotouchdowns and three interceptions. Gray was 23-of-42 (55%) for 280 yards, two touchdowns and one in-terception.

In addition to the quarterback saga, a number of other Bulldogs made a push on the depth chart thisspring.

Not all of them, mind you, elevated themselves into the starting rotation, but with their admirable workethic and subsequent performance over the 15 days of drills, they demonstrated to the Georgia coaching staffthey can be counted on this coming season.

Rising senior cornerback Vance Cuff worked with the No. 1’s almost the entire spring session and receivedthe superlative award for Most Improved Defensive Player of the Spring. Then, when Richt announced the newdepth chart last week, there was Cuff holding down the starting slot opposite fellow corner Brandon Boykin …with rising sophomore speedster Branden Smith backing Boykin.

DEFENSE

"He has really gained a lot of confidence andmade a bunch of great plays this spring," said Richtof Cuff, the 5-11, 177-pound former ColquittCounty all-stater from Moultrie. "He's playing withthe most confidence by far since he's been at Geor-gia. He has the athletic ability. He always has. ...He's really taken well to Coach (Scott) Lakatos'style. I think he's played the best of the corners inthe spring and is probably the most improvedplayer on our football team.”

All-America wide receiver candidate A.J.Green has taken note of the great strides Cuff madein the recently-completed practices.

“He’s getting more aggressive,” said Green.“Vance has the speed to go with anybody, but he’sgetting much better. He’s more slender, tall, and Ifeel like he can get his hands on you quicker thansome of the shorter ones because he has long arms.And he’s just jamming a lot of the receivers atboundary, and he’s been real aggressive.”

Cuff said it’s simply time he stepped up andmade his presence felt for this football team.

“As a senior you feel like it’s your time but thenext player coming along feels like it’s his time,too,” he said. Every day you’ve just got to come outand play hard. I’m just going to do my best and ifmy best can’t get it (starting CB job) then some-body else is better than me and they get it, it’s Geor-gia and I want what’s best for the team. But it’s abig learning experience, this whole spring. That’swhy spring ball is here so you can learn and getready for fall camp and then get in fall camp andworry about the season.”

Just a few other Bulldogs who caught thecoaches’ eyes during 2010 spring practice were thelikes of linebackers Justin Houston, CorneliusWashington, Akeem Dent, Darryl Gamble andChristian Robinson, defensive linemen DemarcusDobbs, DeAngelo Tyson, Abry Jones, KwameGeathers, Brandon Wood and Kiante Tripp, widereceiver Kris Durham, defensive backs Boykin,Bacarri Rambo, Jakar Hamilton, Nick Williamsand Shawn Williams, and young offensive line-men A.J. Harmon, Chris Burnette and Dallas Lee.

Said Richt of Kris Durham, the 6-5, 211-pound senior wideout who missed all of last sea-son with a shoulder injury but was one of theteam’s leading touchdown producers during thespring: “He’s doing good, and I know he’s excitedabout practicing again and playing football again.”

Among the linebackers, with Gamble makingthe move to the outside to assist Houston andWashington in coverage and getting after thepasser, the development of redshirt sophomoreChristian Robinson was one of the big stories ofthe spring as he moved into a starting role at insidelinebacker.

"Christian is improving each and every day.I've been very pleased with his progress,” said War-ren Belin, the Bulldogs’ new inside linebackercoach. “He's playing multiple positions for us atthe inside linebacker positions. He's a young manwho works very hard at the fundamentals and try-ing to do every single thing the right way. As hecontinues to grow in our defensive package, he'sgoing to make a great contribution. He's absolutelythe type of guy you want to step in the huddle andcall the defense. That's what all linebackers shouldbe, especially the ones who want to be the best,”Belin said.

And Belin has also been happy with the im-proved showing of rising senior Akeem Dent.

“I think Akeem Dent is having a good springthus far,” said Belin, near the midway point ofGeorgia’s workouts. “He’s stepped up in leader-ship and I’m excited about the direction he’s going

right now and hopefully he will continue to de-velop and give us good defense inside.”

In the Bulldogs’ defensive front, positioncoach Rodney Garner seemed especially pleasedwith the play of Georgia’s returning veteran play-ers.

“Right now,” said Garner, “you’ve got five guysmore consistent up front than the others and that’sbeen (Demarcus) Dobbs, (DeAngelo) Tyson,(Abry) Jones, (Brandon) Wood and (Kiante) Tripp.Take Kwame (Geathers), he had a good day oneday and another day, he had a very bad one. Wecan’t do that, we just got to keep working becausewe’ve got so much improvement we’ve got tomake. Those are big shoes to fill. We had Jeff(Owens) and Kade (Weston) out there watchingpractice one day. What I would do to have themright now.”

Starting senior defensive end Dobbs canvouch that both Wood and Tripp, who are back-ing up at both defensive end spots, were impres-sive this spring.

“I think Brandon Wood is coming alongwell,” Dobbs said. “There’s a couple of mental er-rors here and there, but his physical ability, you cansee it on film. You can tell the guy has a bunch ofpotential.

“Kiante Tripp, he has that big body. He has anNFL-type body. All he needed was an opportunity,and I think he’s taking advantage of this opportu-nity to really shine.”

Rising junior Nick Williams fared so well thisspring that he was listed No. 1 at strong safety – op-posite starting free safety Rambo – on Richt’s newdepth chart. The 6-2, 219-pound Williams, whohas switched back and forth from safety to line-backer three times since arriving in Athens, espe-cially fits the mold of large defensive backs that newsecondary coach Lakatos is fond of.

While the Bulldogs’ starters in the offensiveline – Clint Boling, Cordy Glenn, Ben Jones, ChrisDavis and Josh Davis – all enjoyed a top-notchspring, some of the younger guys in the O-line alsomade their presence felt.

Offensive coordinator Mike Bobo liked theprogress made by redshirt freshmen Chris Bur-nette and Dallas Lee.

Burnette is now the team's No. 2 center be-hind Jones, while Lee is No. 2 at left guard behindGlenn. True freshman Kolton Houston is the No.2 right tackle behind Josh Davis.

"Burnette has done a nice job,” said Bobo. “Iwas pleased with him in the scrimmages. He's gotto get stronger. He's got a good punch. He's got toget a little bigger but I like how he's played. Dallashas shown some flashes of doing some goodthings. He's just got to get consistent; he's just gotto practice.”

And junior tight end Aron White also noticedthe gains being made by redshirt sophomore A.J.Harmon after the 6-5, 310-pounder fromLouisville made the move to the O-line, that is,until Harmon missed the second half of springdrills with a high ankle sprain.

“He’s a guy who has a tremendous amount ofathletic ability for a guy his size,” White said of Har-mon, who had been getting plenty of reps with theNo. 1 unit at left tackle prior to the injury. “He canmove a little bit and was growing tremendously.As soon as he can mentally grasp everything we’redoing, he’s a guy who can come in and contribute.He’s the guy I feel has stepped up the most as faras all of our second-team linemen. He stood outthis spring.”

he Golden Isles without a professional golf tournament is like the Louvre without the Mona Lisa.Like the symphony without a violin.Like a high school senior without a prom date.

However you compare it, something big has been missing. For the islands are so rich in both golf coursesand golf history that they beg for events to celebrate their glory.

This autumn that void is being filled with the McGladrey Classic coming to the Seaside Course on St. SimonsIsland on Oct. 4-10, and it will draw 140 top-notch pros to the closing tour event of the year.

The evolution of a Tour event always is a tale of glimpses of the future, setbacks in negotiations, searching forsponsors and then an agreement that seems to fit for everybody concerned. This one has new wrinkles, but is in-structive of golf behind the curtains.

More than a year ago the PGA came to the Sea Island Company with the idea of bringing a fall tour event tothe Golden Isles. It sounded like a winner to everybody involved, but sponsors became skittish following the fi-nancial meltdown of last year.

One of the bright stars of the PGA, Masters winner Zack Johnson, brought the people whose name appearson his golf shirt, McGladrey, to the Frederica Club, also on St. Simons, for an outing. And they had such a goodtime they came back.

Having returned to a happy place, McGladrey decided it would like to sponsor a PGA event on the island. Why?Well, the Seaside Course would be ranked near the top if it were located anywhere. The confluence of land,

sky and sand that is St. Simons makes it that much more special. But that was only the beginning.This is the home of Davis Love III, a legend

around here for both his golf and his communityefforts. He has won the PGA Championship, amajor, and a total of 20 tour events, which giveshim a lifetime exemption into tour events.

More than that, the Davis Love Foundationcontributes heavily to charity works in his partof the world. Just because his name is not on alot of buildings does not mean he has been mea-ger with his resources.

As if that were not enough, Love, Johnsonand three-time PGA winner Jonathan Byrd alllive here. Between them, they have a horde ofquality players to call friends. They guarantee that fans will see a first-class, competitive and exciting tournamentfull of stars.

Like all PGA Tour events, community and national charities will benefit from the proceeds. In this case, fundswill go to Special Olympics, the Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Georgia and Safe Harbor.

When the tournament kicks off with festivities on Oct. 4, dozens of questions will hang in the air.Inevitably, a half-dozen pros will be struggling to keep their playing privileges for the next year. They will be

ranked either just above or just below the 125 line on the money earnings list. Those above the line get their tourcards for the next year; those below are not assured of getting into tournaments.

The tension of trying to gain some professional job security for the next year always is a gripping story—andit will be this year. Since this is the finale for the rankings, some nerves will be jangling like the phone ringing atthree in the morning.

What the pros will find at the course is 7,005 yards of grass, marsh, water and distracting beauty every stepof the way. Eagles will soar, blue herons will dive, alligators will laze in the sun, mullet will jump out of the water,seagulls will cry their strangled sounds—and fans will be as enthusiastic as anywhere in the world.

True, some of them will listen on their headphones on Oct. 9 when Georgia plays host to Tennessee in Athensin a SEC football battle. This is Bulldawg Country, after all. But many will choose to spend most of the week in theislands.

But the players will find something different than their regular travels. At most courses, they are playing overground that they have learned through the years, charted and committed to memory.

Seaside will be new. No recall of having made the same putt last year. No way to know where to hit the ballin a high wind. No idea of where to land the approach shot on the firm, sloping greens. Just their skills and intu-itions (and their caddies) to help them play this terra firma, which is identical to no other.

Ask the caddie whether it’s a driver or three wood to the fourth fairway? He may throw up his hands to con-fess he doesn’t know. (If you want to see the interaction between a player and caddie, go to the RSM McGladreyweb side. Zack Johnson and his caddie discuss their work on the course in several video interviews.)

So the Golden Isles have a new date for the prom. Hope they all have a great time.

fter watching the Georgia defense struggle mightily in recent years under formercoordinator Willie Martinez, the Bulldogs’ fan base has been clamoring for markedimprovement on that side of the ball. Rather than a defense that sits back and re-

acts, the Dog Nation has been yearning for a stop-em crew that is ultra-aggressive fromthe opening whistle … one that attacks unrelentlessly and stays in the opposing offense’sface the entire football game.

A defense that, well, can bring back the echoes of those once ferocious JunkyardDogs coached by the bald-headed defensive genius, Erk Russell.

Welcome to the Classic City, Todd Grantham.This guy Grantham, who joined Mark Richt’s staff in January after serving as the Dal-

las Cowboys line coach, has indeed brought that attacking-style defense – in the formof a 3-4 alignment – to the Georgia program, and although the results won’t be evidentuntil the Bulldogs tee it up in the 2010 season, both the UGA players and coaching staffseem sold on the new setup thus far.

First, listen to what Grantham said when he accepted the new coordinator’s posi-tion:

“We like what Coach Richt has done with the program … it’s headed in the rightdirection, there’s some continuity there and with that we can get the defense back towhat it was in the past and be very successful. We will be a 3-4 structure, more of an ag-gressive 3-4. We’ll be a one-gap defense, attack blockers up front and rush the passer.We’ll have two outside linebackers, three defensive linemen and two inside backers. Oursecondary will be the same. Our outside backers will be the edge setters and will be ag-gressive. They will be coming. They will be solid and we’ll develop those guys as passrushers. The inside-backers, whom we call Mike and Moe, will be downhill guys to theball. Saying that, we will always be multiple, able to match personnel. In other words, ifthe other team adds a third wideout in the game, we can add a DB into the game.”

And in the middle of Georgia’s recently-completed spring practice, Grantham madeno bones about why he thinks the 3-4 is the best defense going today. “It allows us tocreate confusion and hesitation in the quarterback, meaning that, where’s the fourthrusher coming from and where they’re coming from, and there’s indecision in the quar-terback so it can be a little bit disruptive mentally to the quarterback on where he shouldthrow the ball or what’s coming,” he said. “You can still create eight-man fronts out of itfor the run game so when you can create eight-man fronts you got all your gaps securedand should be solid on the run. And, you can be balanced on exotic formations whenpeople spread you out because you have two outside backers, two ends, two inside‘backers, two safeties, and two corners. You’re balanced with what you’ve got and canbe balanced in your structure. I think the biggest learning curve is just learning the con-cepts of each thing we’re putting in. In other words, what kind of split safety coverage isit? What kind of fire zone is it? It’s a man pressure but what does it mean? So I just thinkthat trying to apply those concepts because there’s a lot more things we could add butright now we’re just trying to put the concepts in and go from there.”

As spring practice moved along, Grantham’s fellow coaches – who haven’t previ-ously coached in the 3-4 – were undergoing a learning experience themselves, in thesame manner their players were trying to pick up the nuances of the new defensivealignment.

“I think every day there’s going to be some improvement but it’s a learning curve,”declared Georgia assistant head coach and defensive line coach Rodney Garner at nearlythe midpoint of the spring drills. “It’s a lot of moving parts, just a total different terminologyfrom what they’ve heard so they’ve got to get used to the terminology and just figure outhow everything fits and the patterns that he (Grantham) has. Once they get better knowl-edge of the patterns, it’s going to come along and make sense for them. Once it clicks,and the light comes on, they’re going to be, ‘Wow, I’ve got it now.’ But at what point thatlight will come on, I don’t know,” said Garner.

“I think it’s coming along, we’re putting in some new stuff every day,” said new Bull-dogs inside linebackers coach Warren Belin. “We’re also backing off a little bit and let-ting our guys concentrate, and so every day we install the new defense, it allows ourguys to get better. The main thing we’re trying to focus on is fundamentals as well as thescheme part of that.”

The Georgia defensive players, excited to be part of a new plan that allows them topin their ears back and attack both the other team’s quarterback and ball carriers, havenot only seemed to buy into Grantham’s system but are eagerly anticipating seeing theresults of the new 3-4 product when the real season arrives Sept. 4. At the same time,however, the Bulldogs realize they have so much to learn and perfect before that time gets

here.“It’s a learning experience for everybody, seniors and all,” offered senior cornerback

Vance Cuff. “Usually, going into your senior year, you pretty much have the defensedown but with this, it’s pretty much a learning experience with everybody asking every-body for help so we’re learning it all kind of ways right now. The competition is prettyopen with (secondary) coach (Scott Lakatos) having all the positions open right now. It’sa little different (with the new defensive coaches) but football is football, and there’s nottoo many things you can say that are different, especially at the cornerback position. It’sjust different terminology with the new guys. They’re pretty much teaching the samethings, just with different words. Coach (Willie) Martinez wanted you to play the man,the hand and basket … but Coach Lakatos, he wants the ball. Yeah, he wants the ball.And playing the ball, you’re either going to get beat or you’re going to catch the ball, it’son you,” Cuff added.

“We’re learning a lot right now in a short period of time but as practice goes on, we’restarting to get the hang of things so we’re getting better day-by-day,” said junior outsidelinebacker Justin Houston. “We watch film and talk about the things we mess up on andwe’re starting to do a lot better. I think once we get it right, it’s going to be trouble (foropposing offenses).”

Sophomore outside linebacker Cornelius Washington, for one, can’t wait forGrantham to turn loose this defense on some of the top offenses the Bulldogs will be en-countering in the 2010 slate.

“With this defense,” said Washington, “there’s going to be a whole lot of peoplecoming from everywhere, that’s the big difference, so I think it’s going to make it toughon opposing offenses. You have got two outside linebackers, two defensive ends and anose. The defensive ends have their hand on the ground all the time but at outside line-backer, we stand up most of the time but there are times we do have our hands on theground in a three-point stance. So it’s going to be confusing for those offenses.”

Georgia’s offensive players can vouch for that as in this year’s spring sessions, all themoving around by the Bulldog defenders on a given play made for many uncertain mo-ments for the offense.

“This defense definitely moves some bodies around, guys that were playing somedifferent positions,” declared junior tight end Aron White. “And it’s definitely some dif-ferent fronts than we’re used to so it’s going to be an adjustment for offenses not used toseeing this week-in and week-out. Not many see it, I believe Alabama ran it last year. It’sa defense that definitely allows you to do a lot, you never know what’s coming and theycan bring anybody they want. But seeing it day-in and day-out, I think we’ve gotten bet-ter as an offense.”

Along that line, Georgia redshirt freshman quarterback Aaron Murray and juniorAll-America wide receiver candidate A.J. Green are proud of the way the offense hasprogressed while going against a completely different look on the other side of the ball.

“With this defense, it’s pretty much every time they’re bringing someone (blitzingon pass rush),” said Murray. “Every play they’re bringing one or two guys so just figur-ing out where they’re coming from, stuff like that, is the challenge. But our offensive linehas just been great all spring. With that 3-4 defense, they’re bringing guys from all an-gles … safeties, they’re bringing two linebackers and a safety, I mean, our offensive lineis doing a great job of picking all that up and giving us a great chance to throw the foot-ball and that’s pretty big, and they’re doing a great job of communicating with each other.”

“Oh, man,” said Green, about facing the 3-4 each day in practice. “I’m getting usedto it, there’s a lot of studying and Coach (Tony) Ball is preparing us each day regardingpractice and all. He’s teaching us how to read defenses so I think it’s pretty easy for meright now. Our offense is picking up things real well. You know the 3-4 blitzes a lot andthe offensive line is picking it up and our backs are picking the right holes to run through.So I think we’re doing pretty good with it right now.”

Green said, under the tutelage of new secondary coach Lakatos, Georgia’s defensivebacks are getting increasingly tough to go against in practice each day. “They’re good,they’re getting real aggressive. He’s a great coach, you can tell. He’s just getting them ready.But I want it as tough as they can make it for me in practice. That will just carry on tothe game – that will make them better and can make me better.”

And that’s what both Bulldog players and fans are counting on mightily for the2010 season … that this new 3-4 defense brought to the program by Todd Granthamis going to make everything better for Mark Richt’s football team this coming autumn.

eorgia football fans have heard all about thenew 3-4 defense – the same alignment that hisDallas Cowboys employed – that ToddGrantham has brought to the University of

Georgia.But, just exactly, what is a 3-4 and what does it

mean? Indeed, what’s the difference in your football teamplaying a 3-4 as opposed to, say, a 4-3 or 6-2?

This is not exactly football information for dummiesbut what follows is Grantham giving the Bulldog faithfula good insight into a defense that he thinks is the mosteffective around and, also, what the responsibilities ofeach Georgia player will be in this defense, which fea-tures a nose, who primarily plays head-up on the oppos-ing center; two defensive ends whose hands are in thedirt most of the time in a three-point stance; two outsidelinebackers, who are mostly stand-up guys who will becoming after the opposing quarterback most of the timebut must also defend the pass at times; two inside line-backers who have run responsibilities but must also helpin pass coverage, and the secondary, which features twocornerbacks and two safeties who have pretty much thesame duties in pass coverage as did the defensive backsunder former Georgia coach Willie Martinez but will playmore press coverage and be responsible for coming up

and halting the run.Here is Grantham’s take on what each guy in his

defense will be expected to do:

The Nose“The nose is obviously a run player, gives you

some stops inside. You like to have a guy who canmove a little bit because you’re going to move himaround.”

Defensive Ends“Ends are your guys who are going to anchor the

C gap or the B gap based on the formation. C gap isoutside the tackle or outside the guard. They’re gonnaanchor those and they’re going to generate your in-side pass rush.”

Outside Linebackers“Your Sam and Will are the outside guys. They’re

gonna be the guys who should be your most produc-tive guys because you’re trying to get those guys onbacks and generally they’re pretty athletic. They arealso going to have some coverage responsibility butpass rush is real premium with those guys.”

Inside Linebackers“Inside backers, Mike and Moe, are pretty much the

glue as far as making the calls, getting guys lined up. Youneed a guy in there who’s a thumper, who can be realphysical. You also need a guy who can cover a little bit andscrape inside out on the ball. That’s pretty much your in-side guys.”

Cornerbacks“You like to have guys who can play man coverage.

You like to have guys that have some awareness to takeaway the proper leverages and be able to reroute guysand as a general rule, I think it’s real important that allguys in coverage are rerouting guys from disrupting. Don’tlet guys have what I call free access into the defensewhich means don’t let guys run free — you got to rerouteguys”

Safeties“Your safeties (free and strong) are guys that gotta

be able to come down and play the run when you play aneight-man front, they’ve got to be able to come down andcover guys, and then they’ve got to be able to give you alittle pressure when you call their name. So we put a lotof things on those guys.”

Warren Belin turned out many an outstanding linebacker whilea member of the Vanderbilt University coaching staff the past eightyears. And now that he’s joined defensive coordinator ToddGrantham and secondary coach Scott Lakatos as the new mem-bers of Mark Richt’s Georgia staff, the highly-motivated Belin – whoalso served as the Commodores special teams coordinator and re-cruiting coordinator – is expected to mold the Bulldog linebackingcorps into one of the top units in the Southeastern Conference.

In this question-and-answer session with Bulldawg Illustrated,Georgia fans are given a personal glimpse into their new mentor.

Wife and Children:Yolanda; Camryn, 8; twins Morgan 5 and MacKenzi, 5.Why do you think your players will buy into yourcoaching methods?No. 1 is building a relationship with your players. I truly be-lieve that in order to have any great relationship, any greatcore, players have got to trust their coaches and coacheshave got to trust their players. So honesty is No. 1. Treatthe players fair, treat them like men, then teach them to bethe best they can be on and off the field, that’s my goal.And also, give everything they’ve got, 100 percent effortboth on and off the field.Any hobby outside of football?I like to jog and also like to fish a little bit, freshwater fish-ing.Your favorite thing about Athens so far?I’m still learning Athens but the best thing about Athensright now is the relationships I’ve developed with CoachRicht and this staff and their families. They’ve been very,very supportive of myself and the new coaches here. I’mvery excited to be here.The most random television show you watch?Right now, my nose is in the playbook every night when Igo home so I don’t have time to watch TV right now.Your favorite team as a youngster, any sport?Probably the Pittsburgh Steelers, back in the day, was myfavorite football team.What impresses you the most about Mark Richt?That he is a man of integrity, a man who cares about hiscoaches and his players, and he’s a competitor and a win-ner. Those are the things I really like and he does it in afirst-class manner.Your greatest play as a football player (any level)?I really can’t name one. I had a great career at Wake Forest… a lot of plays.Why is your wife and family your rock?Absolutely, they are. My wife is a strong Christian woman,loves the Lord and puts her family first. She’s been very,very supportive of me the last 10 years we’ve been to-gether.What’s your immediate response to the Bulldog Nation?Go Bulldogs! I really think the support here at the Universityof Georgia is like none I’ve seen before, and it’s a great op-portunity for me to be part of the Bulldog Nation.

ay 1, Thursday, March 4In preparation for what is sure to be one of the most intriguing seasons in recent Geor-

gia football annals, the Bulldogs kicked off 15 days of spring workouts and head coachMark Richt seemed generally pleased with his team’s effort and enthusiasm.

“It was good just to get out there and practice football again. I enjoyed the day a lot,but I think the thing I enjoyed the most was I saw a lot of energy out there,” Richt said. “There wasa lot of enthusiasm out there. I saw a lot of guys moving quickly, coaches doing a good job of bark-ing out instructions and players working really hard to do what Coach says.”

It was also Richt’s first day to see new assistants Todd Grantham, Scott Lakatos and WarrenBelin in action for the first time.

Day 2, Tuesday, March 16The Bulldogs returned to the practice fields Tuesday for the first time in 12 days with a two-hour

workout in shorts and helmets and despite the layoff, Richt was pleased with the effort.Richt said he has been impressed with Georgia’s running backs after two practices.“I like what we’ve seen with Caleb (King) and Washaun (Ealey),” Richt said. “Carlton Thomas

has been practicing extremely well. He’s competing, and he’s not just going to sit there and watch com-fortably.”

Day 3, Thursday, March 18Georgia took the field Thursday for two and a half hours at the Woodruff Practice Fields.Richt said the team displayed positive energy and effort. Defensive coordinator Grantham agreed

with Richt’s assessment on how much effort the players are putting into learning the new system. “We need to come to work every day and understand where we need to improve and under-

stand the concepts,” Grantham said. “Once we understand the concepts then we can start addingthings and the guys can start playing at a faster pace. Overall I’ve been pleased with the effort andwhat I’ve seen out there.” At today’s practice, former Georgia tailback Richard Samuel made the moveto inside linebacker, after starting the spring at outside linebacker in Grantham’s new 3-4 Bulldog de-fense.

Day 4, Saturday, March 20The Bulldogs practiced for an hour and 20 minutes at Sanford Stadium under ideal weather

conditions on Saturday morning.The Bulldogs wrapped up their practice with an 11-on-11 scrimmage. This was the first time

that the defense had gone full-speed in pads since Grantham has begun to install a 3-4 defense.Day 5, Tuesday, March 23Under sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-60s, Georgia held a two-hour workout in full

pads. Richt announced that redshirt freshman quarterback Zach Mettenberger would likely serve aone-game suspension for his off-the-field incident earlier this month during spring break.

Also on Tuesday, Richt announced a position change for junior offensive lineman Justin An-derson. The 6-5, 330-pound Ocilla native will move to defense with nose guard a starting pointwhen he is healthy.

Day 6, Thursday, March 25The Bulldogs worked out for nearly two hours Thursday afternoon. The practice also marked

the start of Georgia’s annual spring football coaching clinic. “It was a great day,” Richt said. “We had all of our high school coaches here. There must be 300

to 400, and we’re excited about them being here. I think the defense is starting to catch on to whatcoaches are looking for and were a lot more competitive. It was a lot more competitive with offenseand defense.”

Day 7, Friday, March 26The Bulldogs worked out for approximately an hour-and-a-half as the team prepared for Sat-

urday’s first full-scale scrimmage of the spring.Sunny skies shone over the Sanford Stadium turf, a stark contrast to Thursday’s cloudy and wet

practice session. Friday's practice also marked the conclusion of the annual UGA spring high schoolfootball coaching clinic.

Day 8, Saturday, March 27Georgia scrimmaged for around an hour and a half at Sanford Stadium under clear skies and

windy conditions on Saturday morning.“Today was a good day for us,” said Richt. “The guys played fast, there were very few balls

dropped and very few penalties.”Richt said flanker Rantavious Wooten started the spring out slowly but picked up the pace on

Saturday by hauling in six catches for 146 yards, including a 65-yard touchdown catch from ZachMettenberger.

Flanker A.J. Green also had a 40-yard touchdown catch as tailbacks Caleb King (six carries,79 yards) and Washaun Ealey (nine carries, 64 yards) combined to lead Georgia’s ground attack. Met-tenberger finished 7-for-10 with 157 yards and one touchdown while Aaron Murray was 10-for-15with 125 yards, one touchdown and an interception. Logan Gray had six completions for 37 yards.

Day 9, Tuesday, March 30The Bulldogs returned to practice for more than an hour and a half Tuesday afternoon after

scrimmaging at Sanford Stadium on Saturday.“I would rank today’s practice ninth out of the nine we have had,” said Richt. “The tempo fiz-

zled on us and I had been satisfied with the tempo pretty much all spring before today. We aregoing to have to learn to push through when we’re tired. We didn’t practice like champions today,but the good news is that Thursday is another day to get it going.”

Day 10, Thursday, April 1With temperatures in the mid 80s, the Bulldogs held a two-hour workout Thursday after-

noon.“Today was the hottest day by far,” said Richt. “We shortened the practice by about 20 min-

utes for a few reasons. One was the weather. The other was that I wanted to make sure we had ahigh tempo practice and that we are fresh for our next scrimmage. Saturday will really be the lastscrimmage where we can do all the things we want to do schematically before presenting them tothe public (on G-Day).”

Day 11, Saturday, April 3The Bulldogs wrapped up another week of spring practice with a scrimmage at Sanford Sta-

dium under picture-perfect weather conditions.The Bulldogs recorded four touchdowns, all coming through the air. Kris Durham caught four

passes for 74 yards, including three scores. Israel Troupe had a touchdown reception among his fourcatches for 45 yards. A.J. Green added six grabs for 80 yards.

Zach Mettenberger threw two of the touchdown passes, while Aaron Murray and Logan Graythrew one each. Murray went 13-of-19 for 159 yards, Mettenberger was 10-of-16 for 126 yardsand Gray went 7-of-11 for 111 yards. Carlton Thomas paced the running game with 94 yards on16 carries.

Day 12, Tuesday, April 6The Bulldogs held a two-hour workout in hot and hazy conditions Tuesday.Richt noted that senior Darryl Gamble will move from inside linebacker to outside linebacker.

The Bainbridge native started 11 games for the Bulldogs last year and recorded 47 tackles.Day 13, Thursday, April 8The Bulldogs almost completed a full practice Thursday before being halted by thunder and

lightning.Richt was happy with the “energy and enthusiasm” of practice and encouraged by how far the

defense has come. “The defense is gaining more confidence in what they are doing and everythingis starting to solidify,” he said. “Mistakes being made are happening less and less.”

Day 14, Friday, April 9The Bulldogs held a light workout in preparation for Saturday’s G-Day game as the coaching

staff revealed the spring superlative awards. Junior guard Cordy Glenn was named the spring’s of-fensive MVP while junior outside linebacker Justin Houston received the MVP award for the defense.

Day 15, Saturday, April 10Georgia completed its 15 days of spring practice with the annual G-Day game at sun-kissed

Sanford Stadium. Nearly 40,000 fans turned out to see the Black team, sparked by the Bulldogs’ first-team defensive unit, defeat the Reds and Georgia’s first-team offense, by a 17-7 tally.
