ASU Game

Time for kickoff. I hope we win the toss and elect to put our defense on the field.

First series. Two runs and an incomplete pass. Not the end of the world.

DUMB PENALTY COUNT: 1. Jeff Owens gives ASU a first down.

Good D on the first series. One dumb penalty but we held tough overall.

I know the blog is called "Run the damn ball" but that was a very nice call to throw to the fullback.

I stand corrected again. WOW. A.J. Green is a man. What a catch and juke for 6.

UGA 7 ASU 0

Would I be the first to ask whether or not our secondary is questionable? It seems like any team out there that wants to chuck it 20 yards or so is welcome to do so.

Lucky to hold them to a field goal.

UGA 7 ASU 3

Nice series on offense. Again...we benefit from a dumb penalty on ASU. Caleb King looked great. Go Dogs.

UGA 14 ASU 3

DUMB PENALTY #2: Prince Miller pass interference allows ASU to keep the drive going. Followed up by an ASU receiver pushing off on us to complete a follow up 13 yard catch. Jesus he got away with one.

DUMB PENALTY #3 : holding moves our offense to first and 20 from the 10. Can't start an effective drive like that. Suddenly, it's 3rd and 18. Dropped pass makes it 4th and 18. Penalty put us there. Sorry to be negative but I believe it to be true.

Gamble and Curran are studs. Our defensive seems to look better when those guys are turned loose.

Not sure what this means about the perceived value of this college football match-up but I've seen at least 4 commercials for the "In Styler" hair straightener. Huh? This is college football and there are 2 minutes and 2 seconds of ad space. An ad for female hair straightening instruments tells me that there are A) shitty ad sales guys at ESPNU B) a lot of chicks from ASU watching.

I'm increasingly impressed by the touch of Joe Cox. To the degree that Stafford had arm strength, I believe Cox has accuracy. Pretty impressive.

By the way...Kevin Butler's kid is our punter and he leads the nation so far. Nice.

DUMB PENALTY #4 - Instead of our first sack....we have a holding in the secondary for an automatic first down for ASU. About a 20 yard swing. Gives ASU a shot in the arm and possession in our territory. Most importantly, it's UNEARNED.

Thankfully, our back-up safety Rambo picked one off. Go Dogs.

HALFTIME: UGA 14 ASU 3

Yikes. UGA is MINUS SEVEN on the turnover margin for the season. Caleb King gives ASU the ball inside the Georgia 35. Wow. We would be an incredible team without the self inflicted wounds.

...and there you have it. Georgia hands ASU the ball on our 35 and allows them to score a touchdown. ESPNU focuses on the small crowd from Tempe...full of half-assed football fans and bullshit artists screaming meaningful things like..."that's what I'M talkin 'bout".

Ugh...please don't let this team hang around for God's sake.

UGA 14 ASU 10. Really? Jesus boys. Step up and put them out of it.

...and there you have it again.

Joe Cox throws an interception for a touchdown.

UGA 14 ASU 17.

The announcers are SO excited to give credit to the Sun Devils when in reality it is all UGA killing themselves. Wake up boys.

4TH QUARTER

Dogs ball. 3rd and Goal from the 1. Hats off to the Sun Devils for not being total pantload PAC 10 opponents. I hope to beat them of course but they're showing some courage.

Now if you'll excuse me...i'm watching an important ad about the InStyler again.

I don't know how to express disappointment and yelling thru this blog but boy oh boy...they just showed the AJ Green catch and there's no doubt he tapped a toe for a touchdown. Somehow though...SOMEHOW..these dipshit refs concluded that there was no touchdown. How dare you. UGH. Even the ESPNU guys were shocked.

I realize that we have played poorly and put ourselves in a position to fail thru bad calls. I realize it's our fault...but....UGH!!! It was a brilliant catch for a TD. No doubt.

UGA 17 ASU 17.

Dogs ball around the 50. Tied at 17. We've already gotten all the bad calls and made the dumb turnovers and penalties. 13 minutes left. If I know the Dogs...we'll drive and score a couple times to secure the ugly victory. Key term...Victory. I hope I'm right.

Let's be honest Dog fans. That pass interference call on ASU was a make-up call. We just got a huge break.

DUMB PENALTY #5. Holding. March the Dogs backwards after a big run play. Jesus.

Big 2nd down play. Decent 3rd down call. TERRIBLE SPOT. Come on, man. Good God.

We've put ourselves in a place where douche bag refs can give false hopes to a team we should have already put away. Our fault. Not mad at AZ.

WOW. We have opened ourselves up to total nonsense. Their safety just totally shoved the ref and he threw a flag...oops. NOPE...he took the flag back. Now we call a belly dive and fail. JESUS. We are losing the game all on our own.

Ok...we have the ball. 7:45 left. Tie game. We run it for 9 yards. Amazing right? We can run the ball. How about this? Let's run the ball 60-something yards and stick it in and then hold them for the win.

Nah...let's throw it into coverage and almost give up another pick 6. ASU ball with 6 minutes left in OUR territory. We have tried at every turn to give this game away.

Let's go D!!

Wow. ASU dropped 2 passes. They are trying to give us the game too. Shall we take it? Yes, please.

OH NEVERMIND!!! We throw another pick. GOD BLESS IT!!. ugh.

Ok...so then we get down to a field goal and AJ Green blocks a kick to save the game? Are you kidding me? These guys are trying to kill me!!

Go DOGS!!!

We've got 4 minutes for a game-winning drive. Please. Please. Please. Do something good.

Wowzers...the long toss to Green. This kid is making his bones on every play!!!

Looks like we can run it down to a few seconds and kick a field goal. Standby.

Ok. That's EXACTLY what we're doing. Go Dogs. Go Walsh.

Timeout called with :02 left.

Fingers crossed.

I'm not gonna lie. I just jumped up and down like a little kid...clapping, whistling and shouting.

GO DOGS!!!!

W. That's all that matters. Big ole capital W.

UGA 20 ASU 17

SUCK IT PETRINO!!!!!

p.s. - I hate Florida with all my heart but I hope Tebow is OK. He took a huge shot in the UK game. I would never truly wish injury on an enemy. Additionally..to wish injury on a dude of that character would make you just evil. I hope, for real...that Tebow has no serious injury.
