Georgia Can and Must Do Better Against LSU

I went to the Georgia/ASU game last Saturday in the torrential rain. Arizona St. does have a decent team, but once again, the Dogs made it possible for the Sun Devils to have a chance to win at the end. If it hadn't been for A.J. Green's spectacular block of a filed goal with about two minutes left, ASU would have probably done just that.

Penalties such as offsides, fumbling the football, interceptions. The Georgia Defense has saved the Dawgs' rear ends so many times. They gotten a bad rap this year for giving up so many points in their first three games, but let's face it. If they didn't perform in the rain Saturday, Arizona St. would be flying back to Tempe having upset a top notch SEC team on their home field. The Dawgs are near the bottom among FBS (Football Bow Subdivision) teams in penalties.

There is no way they will survive the likes of LSU, Florida, Auburn or Georgia Tech if they don't clean up the silly penalties and take better care of the football. Richard Samuel and Caleb King must run hard yet hold on to the ball, the line must block better, and Joe Cox, who played great against Arkansas and South Carolina, must make better decisions with the ball. This all sounds like I'm stating the obvious, but it's obvious that we (I'm a Georgia fan) are escaping because of the play of A.J. Green and our defense. Green, by the way, needs to get the ball more. In short, the Dawgs can and must do better against LSU this Saturday and the remaining riggers of the SEC.
