And the party broke out in Georgia: Georgia Florida football 2007

Wow! All I can say is wow! The Georgia-Florida game was awesome! The final score was 42-30, Georgia winning the game!

We were the UnderDAWG!

No one thought Georgia would win, everyone thought Florida would win. Every announcer on ESPN or CBS thought Florida would prevail and come out with another win, but they were clearly so wrong. They were wrong from the very beginning when all the Georgia players ran out onto the field.

Don't know what I'm talking about? Watch the video at the top of this post.

Clueless in Jacksonville

My favorite part is when the Florida players don't know what's going on.

Celebrate Good Times! Come On!

There was actually a lot of controversy over this celebration. Many people thought it was classless and wrong. They thought Georgia was dissing the Florida team, when Mark Richt and the other Georgia players have said many times that they weren't trying to diss anybody, they were trying to get pumped up themselves. After the Georgia players ran out onto the field the Florida players started jumping up and down too. Were they being classless when they were doing that? No I don't think so.

Kickoff Catastrophe?

Georgia got penalized anyways. 30 yards for 2 celebration penalties. Georgia had to kick off from the 7 yard line, we got penalized. Stop being sore losers and get over yourself, you were beaten it's over and done with. OBVIOUSLY THE BETTER TEAM WON!

Bruised shoulder? More like bruised ego!

Another thing the Florida fans are complaining about is the fact that Tebow had a hurt shoulder. Well guess what people? If your quarterback was so hurt then why the heck was he playing? If he was so "hurt" then don't you think you should bench the guy? You do have a back-up quarterback, right? What makes the discussion even more pointless is that the shoulder that was hurt was his non-throwing shoulder. Maybe if Urban Meyer didn't run him so much "Superman" wouldn't be so hurt. Looks like "Superman" found his Kryptonite.

Again I have to say it, stop being sore losers and get over yourself. You lost!

Defense

Georgia's defense was on fire Saturday! They ended up sacking Tebow 6 times! Out of the last 7 or 8 games he has only been sacked 5 times. In this one game he was sacked 6! How amazing is that! Georgia's defense made sure that Florida's offense wasn't going to get much done. They ended up making Tebow have - 15 yards.

Offense

Georgia's offense did a pretty good job of keeping up with their defense as well. Redshirt freshmen Knowshon Moreno ended up carrying the ball 33 times and going for 188 yards. He scored 3 touchdowns as well as catching 2 balls giving him an additional 17 yards.

Moreno wasn't the only person on the Georgia offense to get some points on the scoreboard. Sophomore quarterback Matthew Stafford threw the ball for 217 yards including an 84 yard pass to Mohamed Massaquoi and a 53 yard pass to Mikey Henderson.

Who's in the top 10?!

Before this game Georgia was 18th in the BCS standing. Now we are #10. Florida was 11th after losing to Georgia they fell to #20.

I love SEC football!

The Drought is Over

Hey everybody! This is Scoop Dawg 2, and I am in an especially good mood today because Georgia has finally beaten the usually dominating Gators. Today, I just want to share a couple thoughts on why I think we finally pulled off a victory in Jacksonville.

BYE week

One of the main reasons the Dawgs won is because we finally got a BYE week before playing Florida. For anyone who cares: the team with an off week before this game is 15:2 and for the past fifteen years, the winning team has been Florida. Finally, Georgia lucked out and got the off week which allowed us to recuperate and have more time to study and practice for Florida while Florida was still recovering from a tough game against Kentucky. Hey, it paid off. Maybe Mark Richt should request a BYE week before Florida every year.

Bruised Shoulder

Another key to the game, although I hate to admit it, is that Tim Tebow's right shoulder was bruised, keeping him limited in his running game. Because "Superman" was hurt and because of the Dawgs' amazing defense, we managed to keep Tebow to minus 15 yards and sacked him 6 times. That's more than all of his previous game sacks combined. Of course Florida is going to be using the excuse of his shoulder for 12 months, but sorry Tebow: A win's a win's a win's a win.

Mighty Moreno

I don't think the game would have been quite the same without my man, Knowshon Moreno. This red-shirt freshmen had an amazing game and rushed for a career high 188 yards in 33 carries and 3 TD's. Moreno also had 2 catches which added 17 yards to his total yardage to bring up a total of 205 yards. Carrying the weight of all of our running backs, Moreno came out huge and was named the SEC Player of the Week.

Richt's Out of Character Move

Another huge reason for the win over Florida was the excitement shown by the players and coaches from the very beginning of the game. As soon as Moreno scored his first touchdown, the entire team ran wildly on to the field to celebrate. Even though it resulted in almost a 30 yard penalty, I believe it was worth it because it kept the excitement and momentum on our side the whole rest of the game. Mark Richt told CBS that the penalty was planned. He said that if his team didn't get an excessive celebration penalty after our first score, he would get his team up at 5:45 in the morning and run the heck out of them. Some say it was very out of character for Richt to do something like this, especially after chasing his team off of the Vandy field just two weeks before. In response, Richt says that he meant know disrespect, he was just trying to get his team hyped up for the game. Personally, I think he was tired of going to Jacksonville and getting beat every year. My hat goes off to him for keeping the momentum on our side throughout the whole game. Congrats on the 42-30 win Coach, you deserve it.
