If you walk under the Arch while you are a freshman, legend has it that you will never graduate. History points to a UGA alumnus, Dan-iel Huntley Redfearn (Class of 1910), as the originator of the legend.

When Redfearn arrived in Athens from his home state of Florida, he only had with him a trunk, a suitcase, less than $200 in his wal-let, and a fierce determination to graduate. As he approached the gate-way to the campus on Broad Street, he vowed to himself he would not walk under the wrought-iron Arch until he had a diploma in hand.

Redfearn kept his word even when a freshman hazing ritual called for him to run with his classmates under the Arch in his underwear before the Georgia Tech football game (Redfearn ran with his classmates, but ran around the Arch).

One of Redfearn’s professors learned of Redfearn’s promise and an-nounced it to his classes, starting the tradition- -which became lim-ited to freshman- -that holds to this day. Redfearn never forgot the inspiration he found in the Arch and provided in will that $1,000, the original cost of the Arch, be used for its maintenance and care.

October 30, Ole Miss

From the editor : vance leavyI don’t know about you, but I’m slap worn out after the

celebration that ensued when the clock hit zero in the Dawgsamazing 17-9 victory over Florida.

Later, Gator!Doesn’t that have an awesome ring to it? Needless to say,

I shouted it to every dejected Florida fan slithering back totheir car. Yes, I know we Georgia fans are supposed to be hum-ble in our victories, but this one was too sweet not to have alittle fun.

In our last issue, I reminded everyone how long it hadbeen since Georgia had beaten Florida in consecutive years(1988-89). Well now that awful drought has finally ended, ashistory will forever show two Wsin the years 2011 and 2012.

Later Gator!Even though the game was

sloppily played, kudos go toeveryone involved with the Geor-gia football program. Our boyscame ready to play from the open-ing whistle and never wavered forall four quarters. And while AaronMurray had his worst half of foot-ball during his career at Georgia,his teammates picked him up.And that was only fair because itwas Murray who did most of theheavy lifting the week before in Lexington.

And what more can you say about Jarvis Jones other thanBEAST. I hope you enjoy our BI photographer, Rob Saye’s killercover photo of Jones. He named it “King of the Gators” and Ibet everyone in Gainesville hopes they’ve seen number 29 forthe last time.

Beyond Jarvis’ masterful performance, the rest of the folkson our defense were just as nasty. Sacks, picks, fumble recov-eries … you name it. Yummy, yummy, can I please get more?

I sure hope so because as awesome as the Florida win wasit will mean very little if everyone in theBulldog Nation doesn’t quickly get theirheads back down to earth with Ole Misscoming to Athens on Saturday. The Rebelsare playing the best football since Eli Man-ning headed to the NFL. And the 3:30 p.m.nationally televised CBS game will havethem ready to show the nation that thingsare moving in the right direction in HottyToddy land.

Without question, Ole Miss is going to spread our de-fense out and give our boys their best shot. Now the ques-tion is can our guys equal the same intensity fromJacksonville? Or was that emotion a one hit wonder?

I definitely don’t think that’s the case and fully expectSaturday’s homecoming game to be an extension of the goodparts of the Georgia-Florida contest. However, if you’re a fre-quent reader of mine, surely you didn’t expect my offeringto be all sunshine, did you?

The unnecessary penalties in the Florida game wereatrocious. Just awful. I love how hard each player competed,but please for the love of Georgia, can we please start acting

like we’ve been there before.Make a big play or make a bighit and then get your fannyback to the huddle or side-lines. If you want to be theelite of the SEC, then start act-ing like it. You won’t see aNick Saban Alabama team playwith such silliness.

Okay, I’m done with mybickering, but mainly becauseI’m tired and really want to getthis sucker to the printer, so Ican get some shut-eye. I hopeyou will enjoy this issue.

There are plenty of awesome photos from all the Georgia-Florida festivities. And JD, Murray and Travis get our mindsfocused on what it will take to continue the positive mo-mentum versus the Rebels.

And as I mentioned earlier, it’s homecoming weekend,so I encourage everyone to load up the family and get toAthens. The parade on Friday is always a blast and seeingthe former cheerleaders and band members return on theday of the game is truly special.

Gotta run now, but not before saying goodbye to a goodfriend of Bulldawg Illustrated. Dr. Don Parkerson passedaway last week and Cheri and I will certainly miss our chatswith him. His love of Georgia was undeniably displayed inhis weekly newsletter that he sent all across the globe. Dr.Parkerson was laid to rest on the day of the Georgia-Floridagame, so there’s no doubt in my mind that his spirit certainlyhad something to do with our team’s inspired play.

Let’s keep this thing rolling Bulldawgs! We will be therewith our bells on this Saturday!

At this point, Georgia’s hard-fought, knee-knocking 17-9 victory over Florida is the pro-gram’s biggest and most significant over the pastfive years. The question now, and it starts witha talented, high-powered, up-and-coming OleMiss team loaded with playmakers, is if Georgiacan maintain the physical and mental toughnessdisplayed in Jacksonville? If the Bulldogs canplay like they did in Jacksonville, then Georgiacan run the table, post an 11-1 record, and re-turn to Atlanta to play for the Southeastern Con-ference championship.

If the Dogs blow one (or more) of these lastfour games, starting with Ole Miss, where thefocus clearly must be, then the significance of theFlorida game will be reduced to a great rivalrywin, not the cornerstone victory of a specialteam.

This victory over the Gators was enormous.It ended a string of ten consecutive losses againstranked opponents, and in one day, exorcised asecond demon. For the first time since 1988-89, Georgia has beaten Florida two straight years.Florida winning 18 of 21 is done. Since 2011,Georgia is now 2-0 in Jacksonville, and WillMuschamp – a hard-nosed walk-on safety forthe Bulldogs in the 1990s, who was 0-4 againstFlorida – is 0-2 as Florida’s head coach.

This one deserves a rewind. Here were the Five Keys to Georgia Jack-

sonville Jubilation in last week’s issue, and the re-sult:

1. Competent Kicking Game – Throughthe years of losses in Jacksonville, the Bulldogshave had a devil of a time with special teams.There have been a slew of costly missed fieldgoals, fake punts and ill-fated kick returns. Evenin last year’s win, the Bulldogs surrendered a 99-yard kickoff for a touchdown. For a team as tal-ented as Florida, when the Gators can cash inand score on special teams, it makes the moun-tain all that much taller to climb. Georgia hashad some plusses on special teams this year, buttoo many struggles as well. Caleb Sturgis is aweapon for Florida, one of the country’s topkickers. Georgia must make the plays and atleast play Florida even in the kicking game tochalk up a second straight win in the series.

Georgia hung in there. Yes there was amissed field goal, penalties and a couple ofunwise decision to run kickoffs out of the endzone. But Georgia didn’t lose the game onspecial teams. That was essential.

2. Avoid the Devastating Turnover –Through the drought of the 1990s and 2000s,the other constant in Georgia’s losses to theGators were catastrophic turnovers that theGators turned into touchdowns. There wereenormous pick-six’s or fumble returns for FloridaTD’s – or to set up TD’s – in 2000, 2002, 2006,2008, 2009 and 2010. Again, as is the case withthe special teams, when a program as talented asFlorida gets those “extra scores,” they are awfullyhard to beat. On the flip side, remember back tothe turnovers Georgia created last year and howhuge they were, especially the fumble with theDogs trailing 17-3. The Bulldogs defense cameinto the 2012 campaign praised as potentiallyone of the country’s best units. This is the day,they can truly make their mark.

Holy smokes, Georgia didn’t do this.The Bulldogs threw three first half intercep-tions, including one when Georgia could havecreated some distance. But the Bulldogscame through and forced six Floridaturnovers, including the big one when theGators were driving for a potential game-tying score. The entire defense was tremen-dous, highlighted by Jarvis Jones. You mayhave to go back to Herschel Walker’s incred-ible three-year run against the Gators to finda Georgia player who has produced betterback to back games in Jacksonville. He hadfive sacks last year. This past Saturday, Joneshad three sacks, five tackles for loss, two re-covered fumbles, 13 total tackles and heforced a pair of fumbles, including JordanReed’s into the end zone inside the five whichwas recovered by Sanders Commings to putthe Gators five and a half feet under.

3. Red Zone TDs – Going back to KeyNumber One and the numerous missed fieldgoals through the years in windy Jacksonville, itis vital for the Bulldogs to chalk up touchdownswhen knocking on the door. In 1997, Georgiascored five touchdowns and won. In 2004, theBulldogs scored four touchdowns and won. In2007, Georgia scored six touchdowns and won.Last year, the Bulldogs scored three touchdownsand ended the game inside the Florida five andwon. If Georgia is forced to settle for field goals,

the Dogs have gotta make ‘em. But when theDogs are in close, it is essential to strike for six.Those two fourth-down touchdown passes weregame-winners for the Dogs a year ago. Simplygoing for field goals in those spots would haveled to defeat.

Well Georgia didn’t knock this out of thepark either. Interceptions. But Todd Gurley,the sensational freshman struck from tenyards out as Georgia drew first blood. It wasa lead the Bulldogs never relinquished. Thatwas huge.

4. Win the Rushing Battle – This is an-other no-brainer. Richard Samuel ran like a manpossessed last year in the fourth quarter, and wasthe Bulldogs offensive Most Valuable Player. In1997, Robert Edwards topped the century markand scored four touchdowns. In 2004, DannyWare ran for over 100 yards. In 2007, Know-shon Moreno ran for 188 yards and three touch-downs. Georgia has a special back in ToddGurley, a big play counter-puncher in Keith Mar-shall and power with Ken Malcome and Samuel.Florida has a senior stalwart in Mike Gillislee. It’sheld pretty strong in this series, the team thatruns better wins. Georgia must stay patient. Thebeauty of a strong running attack, even if it’s notgoing great, if you keep pounding away, eventu-ally you’ll break one – like LSU did to South Car-olina two weeks ago.

Put a big check mark in Georgia’s col-umn here. Win the rushing game and theturnover battle and you win in Jacksonville.Georgia did. Todd Gurley ripped off 116yards, highlighted by his touchdown andclinching run on the Bulldogs final posses-sion. In the Bulldogs five wins over Floridasince 1997, Gurley joins Robert Edwards,Danny Ware and Knowshon Moreno as 100-yard rushers in victorious Jacksonville per-formances. Richard Samuel didn’t quite getthere a year ago, but his performance on theground combined with great defense and atrio of magic passes provided the victory.

5. Pop a Long One – Another commondenominator in Georgia’s four wins over Floridadating back to 1997 has been hitting big plays inthe passing game. Strong running attacks lenda great advantage in play-action passing. Therewere the fourth-down TD’s and the fourth quar-ter completion last year. Mohammed Massaquoiand Mikey Henderson hauled in long scores in’07. Reggie Brown caught a deep pass to set upthe game clincher by Fred Gibson in ’04. HinesWard and Corey Allen had deep grabs in ’97.The Dogs must grind away, and take advantagewith explosive plays in a passing game that hasseveral weapons – most notably MalcolmMitchell.

Great players must make plays in the biggames. Gurley did. Jones did. So did Mal-colm Mitchell. He had a silly penalty – one ofGeorgia’s 14. But came right back to haul inGeorgia’s lone third down conversion in tentries (shades of 1/1/81 and that one preciouscompletion), and broke loose for a 45 yardscore (with a major burst at the end after ahard fast cut inside) that – following the PAT– put Georgia up 17-9.

This was a legacy win, and after two straightdecades of disappointment, to win twice in a rowin Jacksonville has the Bulldogs flying high.

Pretenders lose to upstarts following winslike this. Great teams use wins like this as start-ing blocks for a run to glory.

This was a legacy win ...

Burgess recalls good ol’ days on the railroad tracks

Tim Burgess is a South Georgia native whogrew up along the Flint River doing what he lovedbest – hunting and fishing.

Burgess also had a love for competitivesports and prior to his teen years, competed inmost of them such as football, basketball andbaseball. However, as Burgess tells it, when hereached his high school years, he was “too smallto play football, too short to play basketball andnot good enough to play competitive baseball.

“So that’s when I converted to tennis andplayed tennis all through high school,” Burgessrelated. “And I was on the ROTC rifle team inThomaston as well. I went to Robert E. Lee HighSchool and one of the unique things about thathigh school was it had a mandatory ROTC pro-gram so all the boys that went to that high schoolwere in ROTC. I was a captain in the ROTC andI was on the rifle team. R.E. Lee had a very goodrifle team and we won the national championshipwhen I was a junior in high school.”

Burgess today is a very important manner ofthe Bulldog Nation. He is not only the Universityof Georgia’s senior vice president for finance andadministration but his early love for sports is re-flected in the fact he also serves as treasurer of theBoard of Directors of the Georgia Athletic Associ-ation.

Burgess, a veteran public servant with nearlythree decades of experience in Georgia govern-ment – including four years as the state’s topbudgeting and finance officer – is a 1977 gradu-ate of Georgia, where he earned a bachelor’s de-gree in political science. He also holds a master’sdegree in public administration from GeorgiaState University. In addition to his role on theUGA athletic board, Burgess also is treasurer forthe UGA Research Foundation, finance directorfor the Arch Foundation, and chair of the UGAReal Estate Foundation. He and his wife Carlahave one child, Nicholas, 9.

As a veteran member of the athletic board,Burgess is justifiably proud to see the develop-ment and enhancement of all the athletic facili-ties on the Georgia campus, including SanfordStadium which today, with its capacity of 92,746,ranks as the seventh largest on-campus stadiumin the nation. However, as you can see later in thisspace when he talks about his favorite UGA sportsmoment, Burgess also has fond memories of thedays when Sanford Stadium wasn’t so mammoth… when the East end zone wasn’t closed in andthe UGA students camped out early on the rail-road tracks to watch the Bulldogs frolic downbelow. Burgess was one of those students.

In the following question-and-answer ses-sion, Tim Burgess talks more about his back-ground and his role on the Georgia athletic board.

What is your occupation? “I’m the chief financial officer for the univer-

sity so I’m responsible for all of the financial op-erations, reporting and auditing and accountingfunctions of the university and the budget. Butprobably more than half of my job is not financial;it’s more operational because under my division Ihave all the campus planning operations, all theenvironmental operations, all the physical plantoperations to take care of the campus groundsand facilities. The police department reports tome and human resources and a couple of othersso I spend more than half of my time focused onoperational issues as opposed to financial issues.

How many years have you served onthe UGA athletic board?

I’ve served on the athletic board for six-and-a-half years now. Most members are on a three-year term and are appointed by virtue of variousthings whether it’s the university council or thealumni association; the president has a few ap-pointees. They all come with three-year terms butmine is an ex-officio term. In other words, I’m onthere by virtue of my position as the chief finan-cial officer for the university and so I serve onthere as long as I have this position at the univer-sity.

Where did you grow up and whatmade it special?

I was born in Albany but we moved toThomaston when I was about four. So I went toschool all through high school in Thomaston andgrew up there and it was from Thomaston that Icame to Athens to go to school. And I think forme the thing about growing up in Thomastonwas that it was a small town, a rural town and theFlint River was very close to there and I’m a bighunter, a big fisherman, so I grew up along theFlint River in a small town hunting and fishingand doing those kind of things that a lot of peo-ple grow up doing in small towns.

What has been the most exciting partfor you serving on UGA’s athletic board?

I think the most exciting part for me is to beable to participate with a great group of otherboard members who obviously care deeply aboutthe University of Georgia and Georgia athleticsand to basically serve in a capacity where I cansupport and help both the university and athleticprogram to be successful.

What has been the most exciting as-pect of your career?

Probably two or three things: one, I workedin the governor’s budget office for 20 years andwas the state budget director for Zell Miller dur-ing his second term. So working with Gov. Miller– I worked with a lot of governors but obviouslyworking with Gov. Miller as his budget directorwas a great experience. I was the commissioner ofthe department of motor vehicles for two yearswhen we started up internet renewal and mailingrenewal of driver’s licenses and that was a great ex-perience to try and improve those operations. Iwent from there to be the commissioner of theDepartment of Community Health and had thechance to run the Medicaid program for four yearsand that may have been one of the more chal-lenging opportunities that ever presented them-selves to me. But then the highlight of it all wasthe opportunity to come back to UGA after hav-ing gone to school here in the mid-70s, to nowcome back towards the end of my career to workfor and get back to my alma mater, the Universityof Georgia.

What do you think are the biggestchallenges for Georgia athletics in the nearfuture?

Well, financially, obviously we’ve got tomaintain a strong financial footing. But we’re verylucky, we benefit from decades of good, strong fi-nancial operations with our athletic department.And so we today stand as one of the better posi-tioned financial athletic departments in the coun-try, and now our challenge is to take that strongfinancial strength and use it to our advantage togrow and build strong athletic programs across allof the sports that athletics supports.

How has the knowledge from your oc-cupation helped in the betterment of UGAathletics?

Over the years I’ve gone through enough ex-periences that I usually have some past experienceto draw from when it comes to making a judg-ment call about what level of risk is appropriate totake. Taking a measured risk is always part of anyjudgment call or any decision and the 30-plusyears of experience I brought when I came toUGA has helped me to sort of always lean back onthose experiences and make sure the risks that wewere taking were measured and legitimate risksin furtherance of trying to make sure that the pro-gram grew and remained strong.

Your favorite UGA sports moment?When I was in school here in the mid-70s,

there were two things I remember. One was thechance to sit on the railroad tracks. Back then theEast end zone was open so a couple of gameswhile I was here, I actually went with a bunch ofbuddies and camped out on the railroad tracksand watched football games from the railroadtracks, not because I couldn’t get a ticket but be-cause of the experience of being able to sit on thosetracks and watch football games from up there.And then I think one game I always rememberfrom those days when I was in school here wasthe year when Alabama came to play UGA in1976, in my junior year. Alabama was favored towin and Georgia won the game (by 21-0) and no-body would leave the stands. The students andeverybody were just so thrilled about the outcomeof the game, when the game was over nobodymoved. We all stayed in the stands for whatseemed like an eternity after the game. It was suchan unexpected win and we played so well andbeat Alabama that the place just erupted and no-body wanted to leave the stadium. It was amazing.

ust when everyone thought Georgia’s hopes for anothertrip to Atlanta to compete in the SEC title game weredashed, a gift came from Steve Spurrier. With a coupleof South Carolina losses, Georgia was handed back con-

trol of their own destiny. But a tough road lay ahead. Pundits andanalysts said the Dawgs couldn’t beat the Gators, that they weretoo soft. This became a recurring theme throughout the week lead-ing up to the game. But once the Dawgs got on the field theyshowed everyone in the nation just how “soft” they really are.Georgia now controls the East and is in prime position to get backto Atlanta. First things first though, they need to take care of OleMiss like they are capable of. If not, then that hard fought windown in Jacksonville was all for naught.

Don’t get frozenWhen Ole Miss announced last December that Hugh Freeze

was going to be taking over as head football coach in Oxford, notmuch was made of it. First, because Ole Miss has struggled for somany years and frankly, wasn’t relative in the SEC. And second be-cause nobody knew who in the heck Hugh Freeze was. Up untilthat point, Freeze had been a head coach for a few years at a high school and thenat an NAIA school and finally one year as head coach at Arkansas State. Think aboutthat, before his hire, Freeze had one year of experience coaching at an FBS school.Then he was named head coach at an SEC school? It’s easy to understand the cyni-cism with which he was received upon his arrival. However, in just a short time withthe Rebels, he’s proven a lot of people wrong. They now stand at 5-3 on the yearwith a couple of SEC victories. Granted, those two wins came against Auburn andArkansas, both of who have struggled mightily. But Freeze has made Ole Miss rele-vant again. He’s done it by focusing almost all of his time and effort into putting ahigh-powered, spread offense into place, much like he had at Arkansas State. As a re-sult, the defense has suffered a bit but the theory is that if you can’t keep up withtheir offense, you can’t win.

Quit the jawing, play football. Look, football is an emotional game. If it wasn’t for emotion, Georgia’s defense

probably wouldn’t have been able to come out with as much fire as they did againstFlorida. Emotion is great, use it. But there is a fine line between playing with emo-tion and being reckless. Look at Malcolm Mitchell as an example. In the fourth quar-ter against Florida, he makes a solid catch for ten yards, hops up and gets in a Floridadefender’s face. Boom. 15-yard penalty and the play is negated. There is always goingto be trash talking but the players need to be smart enough to realize where to toethe line and stop. At some point, it’s going to hurt you rather than help you. TheDawgs realized this against Florida. There were numerous times during the game, thispast Saturday, that they shot themselves in the foot with stupid, unnecessary per-sonal fouls. This needs to be cleaned up by Saturday against Ole Miss. Georgia hasthe clear edge in the talent department in this game. It’s not even close. The onlyway that the Dawgs can get into trouble is if they start giving things away to theRebels. First and foremost that means penalties. They can’t have 14 penalties everyweek and expect to win. Talk a little, play a lot.

Getting the offense back on trackBrutal honesty hurts sometimes. Aaron Murray had the worst game of his career

this past Saturday. Tavarres King had two uncharacteristic drops. Malcolm Mitchellhad another, so did Arthur Lynch. If it wasn’t for Todd Gurley, the offensive stat linewould have been one of the worst ever for Georgia. To their credit however, Floridahad one of the best defenses in the country coming into last week’s game statistically.But it still is a bit puzzling considering Georgia started off the year so strong, scor-ing 40+ points in each of their first five contests. The shine of that high-flying of-fense has worn off in recent weeks but Ole Miss may be the perfect team to get itshining once again. Frankly, the Rebels defense isn’t good. Against Texas this year,they allowed 66 points and over 700 total yards of offense. They come at a perfecttime for the Dawgs when the confidence especially Aaron Murray’s) isn’t high. Bestthing for Georgia to do Saturday is to get out there and sling it around like they didat the beginning of the year and try to inject that same confidence they had earlier inthe year.

IntangiblesIt goes without saying, but, be weary of the letdown. This has all the makings of

a trap game. Ole Miss coming off a hard fought win against an equally matched teamwill work hard to improve this week knowing they are playing a better opponent inGeorgia. The Dawgs on the other hand, are coming off a game in which they weren’texpected to win and are now playing a lesser opponent. The ingredients are there fora classic letdown. How does Georgia combat this? Practice hard. Bacarri Rambo saidthe week leading up to Florida was the best week of practice they’ve ever had as ateam. There needs to be that same sense of urgency this week. Good news for Geor-gia, they return to Sanford Stadium after a month-long hiatus. It will be good forthem to get back between the hedges so that the bulldog nation can cheer them onto another victory and move one step closer to that return trip to Atlanta.

Other than Herschel, who is your favorite Bulldog and why?Aiden: Knowshon Moreno. He is fast, cool, does tricks and hurtles. I tried to get my mom to ask him to my birthday when I was 5 or 6. I did not understand why she thought that was funny.

Who is your favorite player on the current UGA roster and why?Aiden: Todd Gurley because he is fast, athletic and awesome.

What makes you a true Bulldog?Aiden: I have the spirit, love the game and was born and raised a Bulldawg!

What is the most memorable play you have experienced in person?Aiden: I enjoy all the plays but I love huge scoring games (as long as Bulldawgs are leading) and one game last year was like 64-7. During that game, one of our players got stuck in the hedges. It took several other players to lift him out.

Which one of our rivals do you enjoy beating the most?Aiden: FLORIDA and I am pumped we won!

What makes your tailgating scene so special?Aiden: I do not like to tailgate that much, yet. I like to visit UGA outside the stadium before the game. I like to see the players walk in the stadium and I like to be in my seat early! I don’t want to miss anything in the stadium.

Call Ahead for Large Orders

GODAWGS

1. Contain Wallace – For the first time in four years, the Rebels have a legit-imate threat at quarterback. Bo Wallace can run and throw with lethal efficiency. Healso has a 25-yard touchdown reception on a throwback in the Rebels win overAuburn. Clearly, getting after the quarterback is essential any time out. That goesdouble for Wallace. He’s one of those quarterbacks who is even more dangerouswhen he breaks contain. Georgia’s defensive ends will have to be at their best. Wal-lace has some real “slipperies” to throw to. When he’s free-lancing and those fastbacks and receivers are coming back to the ball, Ole Miss has big play potency.

2. Keep Scott in Check – Gap control is the most important technical aspectof keeping a fast, small back. Scott is little, at 5-7, 170. And you know the story withthe little backs. They can hide behind those big giant offensive linemen and pick theirholes. Next thing you know, the scatback is in the second or third level of the defense.The Bulldogs defense must be physical with Scott, and make sure they get him on theground. He’s a guy you have to circle, because Ole Miss can incorporate Scott intothe passing game or use on misdirection. He was more involved with the return gamelast season, but don’t be surprised if the Rebels have him on a kickoff or two as well.

3. Avoid Secondary Breakdowns – The Rebels offense is light years fromwhere it was the last few years. They just flat out couldn’t score. Well now they can.Georgia’s secondary, which has given up a bunch of big pass plays this year has to beon point and at the top of their game. Wallace can freelance and his fast receivers doan excellent job of finding holes in the secondary. Because of Wallace’s running abil-ity, Georgia figures to be in a zone for most of the game. The Bulldogs safeties mustremember the name of their position and not let the Rebels run by them – especiallyDonte Moncrief.

4. Hammer Away with Gurley and Co. –When Georgia runs the ball strong,the Bulldogs are tough to beat. When this Georgia team has been at its best, the run-ning game has been rolling. The Dogs have an impressive array of backs, headlinedby Heisman good Todd Gurley. He is the total package. Keith Marshall can hit theseam and go. Ken Malcome is physical and strong. The Rebels are improved on de-fense as well. But Georgia should be able to grind out a strong running attack againstthe Rebels and set up big passing plays off of play-action.

5. Sound Special Teams – A Bulldog bug-a-boo too many times, Georgia hasto get this right to beat the Rebels and run the table through November. Ole Miss isdangerous in the return game, and the Bulldogs must be “head’s up” for fake punts,field goals, or extra points, as first year coach Hugh Freeze – with nothing to lose –could try and make a mark with some trickery. It’s not like Georgia can flip a switchand suddenly become great in the kicking game, but the Bulldogs can certainly growsound and stable in each facet, establishing special teams as a potential strength therest of the way and on into the future.

Location: Oxford, Miss.

Conference: SEC West

Enrollment: 21,543

Rebels in a thumbnail: After floundering through a 2-10season while going winless in the SEC (0-8) in 2011, Ole Missbrought in Hugh Freeze from Arkansas State to guide theRebels. And thus far here in 2012, Ole Miss has compiled a 5-3 worksheet (2-2 SEC). The Rebels have beaten CentralArkansas (49-27), UTEP (28-10), Tulane (39-0), Auburn (41-20) and Arkansas (30-27) while falling to Texas (66-31), Ala-bama (33-14) and Texas A&M (30-27).

A look at the Ole Miss offense: The Rebels returned sevenoffensive starters from last year’s team, one of them beingjunior tailback Jeff Scott who again leads Ole Miss in rushingwith 612 yards (5.4 average per carry) and six touchdowns.Sophomore quarterback Bo Wallace (6-4, 204) is a junior col-lege transfer who has passed for 1,649 yards and 10 touch-downs, with nine interceptions. Wallace, also a dangerousrunner, follows Scott on the Rebel rushing list with 263 yardsand five scores. Ole Miss’s leading receiver is also a sopho-more, Donte Moncrief, and has snared 39 passes for 540 yardsand five touchdowns.

A look at the Ole Miss defense: With six returning regu-lars returning on defense for this season, the Rebels are cur-rently paced by redshirt freshman linebacker DenzelNkemdiche (52 tackles), who’s the older brother of GraysonHigh’s Robert Nkemdiche, generally regarded as the nation’stop prep recruit, as well as sophomore strong safety Cody Pre-witt (49 tackles, 2 interceptions), junior linebacker Mike Marry(46 tackles) and junior safety Charles Sawyer (44 tackles).

What Rebels head coach Hugh Freeze says: “I don't thinkwe have arrived, but I do think our staff has done a remark-able job of building relationships so there is some trust beingbuilt. The kids deserve a lot of credit. They have continued tofight, even after losses. Our staff carries the demeanor thatwe are going to win and I think that has rubbed off on the kidssome. Now we’ve got a big road game at Georgia.”

Game Prediction: With the Bulldogs coming off the giganticwin over the Florida Gators, this game looms even larger nowfor Georgia as it must get by both Ole Miss and Auburn nextweek to capture the SEC East crown for a second consecutiveseason. I called this game at 38-14 in the preseason but be-cause the Rebels have fared much better than everyonethought thus far, let’s tone that down a bit and make it 31-17,Dogs. It will be most interesting to see if the Georgia defensecan string two stellar performances back-to-back, what afterthe Bulldogs limited the then BCS 2nd-ranked Gators to justthree field goals.

#4 Denzel Nkemdiche, LB5-11, 203 RFr. Loganville, Ga. (Grayson H.S.)

Most famous as the older brother of thenation’s top prep prospect this year,Robert Nkemdiche, this stalwart hasturned into one of the SEC’s top de-fenders in 2012. He flies around thefield and to the ball. Nkemdiche is phys-ical and a sure tackler. He was the SECDefensive Player of the Week earlier thisyear when the Rebels fell to Alabama.Georgia basketball had a great player inJarvis Hayes. His brother Jonas wasvery good as well. Some schools hesi-tated to recruit the package deal. Samestory with South Carolina twin lineback-ers Jasper (viewed as a premier player)and Casper Brinkley. Both of thosePeach State products were All-Star cal-iber players for the Gamecocks and a lotof schools were kicking themselves.Nkemdiche is of the top Rebels in tack-les, forced fumbles, quarterback hurries,sacks and tackles for loss – rankingamongst the league leaders in this cat-egory.

Whenever an offense has a quarterback– especially one who can run it andthrow it – and a tailback who can makebig plays, they have to be respected asa threat. Ole Miss certainly is. Alongwith stellar quarterback Bo Wallace,Jeff Scott gives the Rebels a potentbackfield punch. He’s not very big, butScott can really go. He’s a burner withoutstanding moves – “juke-ability.” Aproduct from the talent rich Miamiarea, picking up Scott was a big re-cruiting grab for the Rebels. An effi-cient runner who can hit the homer,Scott is amongst the league leaders inyards per carry, taking it over six yardsper tote. He also has a 55-yard touch-down reception this year, making de-fenses respect the screen and wheelroute. A member of the All-SEC Fresh-man team, Scott ranked 10th in theleague in touchdowns a year ago. Heled the Rebels in rushing as a fresh-man, twice topping the century mark.

One of the impact newcomers in all of col-lege football, Wallace has been trigger-manat the center of Ole Miss’s re-invigorated of-fense. He’s easily the Rebels best quarter-back since Jevan Snead. Wallace is one ofthose typical Southeastern Conference two-way standouts. He can beat teams runningand passing. Ole Miss really had a hardtime scoring the last couple of years, butnow the Rebels have one of the best of-fenses in the SEC. Wallace is a major rea-son why. He was a record-settingchampionship quarterback in the junior col-lege ranks and the transition to upper-ech-elon SEC signal caller was a quick one.Wallace is accurate, hitting well over 60 per-cent of his passes. What makes the Rebelsdoubly dangerous is that they have theirbest group of play-makers since currentSteelers speedster Mike Wallace was star-ring for the Rebels Cotton Bowl teams.Donte Moncrief is Wallace’s favorite target.The fleet wideout is one of the SEC’s toptouchdown-making receivers.

Talk about the difference Bo Wallace has made at quar-terback?

Funny the difference it makes when a team isn't playing quarter-back roulette. Ole Miss has had issues at quarterback since the 2003departure of Eli Manning (with the exception of 2 years from JevanSnead.) Bo Wallace had exceptional numbers at the JUCO level andhas seemingly gotten very comfortable in Hugh Freeze's offense. Theyear Wallace had under Freeze at Arkansas State helped, and Wallaceis playing more efficient football in the last month. Though he does-n't fall into the true dual-threat category, Wallace has shown the abil-ity to hurt opponents with his mobility and his deceptive speed.

Richard, you guys also have an excellent group of fastplay-makers around Wallace, it’s got to be fun watching allthese guys play.

Jeff Scott has turned into a true running back. He's no longer thescat back that can't run inside. Scott has been durable and despitebeing a small guy has proven he's not only willing but capable of run-ning between the tackles.

Donte Moncrief would be a starting wide receiver for 14 teamsin the SEC. He doesn't blow you away with size or speed, but he getsopen, gets behind defenders and makes plays. Moncrief leads the teamin catches and TD receptions.

Randall Mackey is a pretty interesting story. From QB to RB to whereverhe's needed, Mackey is in a true hybrid role. Against Arkansas Mackey may havebeen the difference in the game. He's been a good team guy that most peoplethought would not come back to Oxford for his senior season.

How have the Rebel faithful taken to coach Freeze?Like a fish to water…in the immediate aftermath of his hire, Rebel fans were

apprehensive. People had trouble believing a coach with such a small resumecould be the guy to return Ole Miss football to respectability. But the results onthe field, in the weight room and in the classroom have even the most hardheaded, "I have to be right fans" singing his praises.

Is it night and day from last year to this, the attitude from every-one around the program?

Night and day, east and west, the Sahara and North Pole, Georgia andFlorida

What is your take on Georgia?Good football team. Really good. Obviously Georgia is talented. The tailback

tandem has been fun to watch. Murray may not get the recognition he deserves.It seems from an outside perspective, the Cocktail Party was the first time UGA'sdefense showed up the way most thought it could. If Georgia plays that kindof defense the rest of the way - which I hope they don't this week - the Dawgs willbe tough to beat.

What does Ole Miss need to do to win?When Ole Miss protects the football, they're a pretty good team. Offensively, I

think Ole Miss has got to be able to run the ball. Going into the Arkansas game, theRebels were 4th in the league at 211 yards rushing per game. Arkansas really sloweddown the run game. If Ole Miss can play at the tempo they want, which means theyhave to consistently pick up first downs, the can give Georgia fits.

Do you feel like the Rebels are building towards making a push to-wards the upper division of the SEC West?

Ole Miss lost 16 games in a row in the SEC…they've now won 2 straight in theleague. Let's see if the Rebs can become bowl eligible in 2012 before we start talk-ing about competing with Bama and LSU. But come to think of it…Ole Miss has playedAlabama closer than anyone else this year, and LSU is good….but are they that good?

Who do you think wins Alabama-LSU?Bama

Who plays for the national title?Alabama and Notre Dame

What is your take on the rampant expansion?It's been good for Ole Miss, simply from a monetary standpoint. The new TV

deal will significantly affect Ole Miss' bottom line…much more so than at a place likeGeorgia simply based on the size of the budget.

Texas A&M always felt like a good fit, and they've proved quickly they belong.Mizzou, not so much.

Kevin Butler, former University of Georgialegendary kicker and a member of theGeorgia radio broadcast team, will eachweek during the 2012 football season se-lect his offensive, defensive and specialteams players of the week for BulldawgIllustrated. Here are Butler’s selectionsand reasons why for the Bulldogs’ 17-9win over Florida Saturday.

OFFENSE – Sophomore wide re-ceiver Malcolm Mitchell, who caughtfive passes for 74 yards including a45-yard touchdown catch and runwith just over seven minutes re-maining that sealed the Bulldogs’upset of the 2nd-ranked Gators.“I think it definitely needs to be pointedout that prior to Malcolm making thatplay he put himself the goat of the game(personal foul penalty for taunting aGator defender),” said Butler. “Malcolm isa tremendous offensive weapon andmore importantly a leader and we needhim to keep playing like he did againstthe Gators and at the same time matureinto a leader of this football team by ex-ample. His athletic ability to make a bigplay after he catches the ball is as goodas the Georgia team has right now.”

DEFENSE – Junior outside linebackerJarvis Jones, who turned in the mostcomplete game of his Georgia careerwith 13 total tackles (12 solo), threesacks, 4.5 tackles for loss, twoforced fumbles and two fumble re-coveries to lead a Bulldog defensethat held Florida without a touch-down.“There’re just not enough words to de-scribe what Jarvis brings every Saturday,”said Butler. “He’s as competitive as it getsand if there’s any linebacker in the UnitedStates that is mentioned in the Heismanrace, they are second to Jarvis Jones.This was by far his best performance inan already great performance season andI’ll go one step further by saying it willprobably be the best defensive perform-ance by any one player this year in col-lege football.”

SPECIAL TEAMS – Freshmanpunter Collin Barber, who whilekicking in a strong wind, aver-aged 37.2 yards on five punts andtwice backed the Gators up insidetheir own 20-yard line with hiskicks.“As a true freshman punter who strug-gled some earlier in the year, Collinhas become very consistent,” said But-ler. “He came through with great kicksthat resulted in great field position forthe Bulldogs. His strength certainlyshowed because of the gusty windsand the control that he had on hispunts. I think it’s a great game forCollin to grow on and he will be a bigpunter for Georgia over his career andthis was the first of many big games.”

It was another great Saturday of college football, and some undefeateds suffered defeat for the first time. Alabama flexed its musclesyet again. So did Oregon, Kansas State and, yes, Notre Dame. The Titanic showdown is set again for Baton Rouge, as LSU hosts Ala-bama with all kinds of chips on the line. Teams that got big wins must stay focused to avoid the upset bug.

1. Alabama –There was no look-ahead for Alabama. The Crimson Tidejumped to a 24-0 halftime lead and dominated a good Mississippi State squad. NickSaban at the half said he was disappointed in a couple of three-and-outs. Nowcomes the game of the year in Baton Rouge. Bama’s offense has more juice. Both ofthese defenses are loaded.

2. Oregon – It’s the biggest game of the year for the Ducks, as Southern Calhosts Oregon in the Coliseum. The Quack Attack is the fastest offense in the PAC-12 and they score points in bunches, like a fast break basketball team.

3. Kansas State – What a story Bill Snyder is. Collin Klein is having a spec-tacular season and has to be the Heisman Trophy front-runner. It was tight withTexas Tech, then the Wildcats ripped off 28 straight to roll to a 55-27 win over a goodRed Raider squad. If they can stay focused, they will be in the mix for the big prize.

4. Notre Dame – Color us convinced. The Fighting Irish are for real. NotreDame took it to Oklahoma. Linebacker Manti Teo had an outstanding game in whatgoes down as the program’s biggest win since beating Florida State in 1993. NotreDame just dominated Oklahoma on the ground and scored the final 17 of the gameto win 30-13. They had one flag and no turnovers.

5. LSU – The Tigers defense will have to be at its very best as mighty Ala-bama comes to Baton Rouge. LSU has won the last two regular season meetings, butof course Bama won the big one for the Crystal Ball. There will be incredible talenton the field for this one.

6. Ohio State – Urban Meyer had his team ready and they played great atPenn State. The Buckeyes were trending down after a lucky win against Purdueand poor performance against Indiana. But they pulled it together and beat a hotPenn State squad. An undefeated season is within reach.

7. Georgia – The Bulldogs put together a monumental program win, down-ing arch-rival Florida 17-9. It’s the second straight win in the series and breaks anugly 0-10 stretch against ranked teams the last three years. Jarvis Jones played likeLawrence Taylor – amazing. The Dogs better be ready Saturday. A hot Ole Missteam full of play-makers visits Sanford Stadium with major upset aspirations.

8. Florida - The Gators perfect season came to an end 17-9 in Jacksonville.Six turnovers, including a costly one in the closing minutes with Florida drivingfor a tying score were costly. Florida should get three easy wins before the big show-down with the Seminoles, and the Gators will be cheering for Ole Miss Saturday.

9. Florida State – The Seminoles never gave Duke any kind of a prayer, asthey rolled past the Blue Devils 48-7. They will be haunted by that loss to N.C.State, but this certainly looks like the best team they’ve had since 2000.

10. Mississippi State – It was the most highly touted game in Mississippi Stateannals. Undefeated vs. undefeated on the capstone. But Alabama was at its best andState got put down early. They can still have an excellent season, but have someheavy lifting to do with the Aggies, LSU, Arkansas and Ole Miss.

11. South Carolina – Your heart just breaks for the magnificent Marcus Latti-more. In the Gamecocks thrilling 38-35 victory over Tennessee, Lattimore suffereda severe knee injury, just gruesome. He’s one of the best to ever play in the SEC, andhopefully one day he will see the field again.

12. Clemson – There was no letdown or Thursday night heartbreak for theTigers at Wake Forest, as the offense came out clicking to the tune of a 35-0 lead.It was an easy win and now comes a big conference game with Duke’s best teamsince Steve Spurrier was its coach.

13. Oregon State – It has been a dream season for the unbeaten Beavers. Buttheir run came to an end in Seattle against up and down Washington. TheHuskies have a couple of impressive wins, including Stanford, but have lost somehead scratchers as well. Oregon State could still get to the PAC-12 Title game, butthey must run the table, including Oregon.

14. Boise State – The Broncos lost almost everyone off of last year’s squad, in-cluding record setting quarterback Kellen Moore and first round pick Doug Mar-tin at tailback. But since losing at Michigan State, they’ve taken care of business.Chris Petersen is one terrific coach.

15. Texas A&M – This has to go down as one of the biggest wins the Aggieshave had in a long time. Even though Auburn is way, way down, to go on theplains and roll to a 63-21 win is something to savor. They have Mississippi Stateand Alabama still. The only losses are close ones at home to Florida and LSU.

16. Oklahoma - For the first time, Bob Stoops’ Sooners lost twice at home.The setbacks – Kansas State and Notre Dame. The Sooners couldn’t get anythinggoing on the ground against the tough Irish defense.

17. Louisville – The Cardinals were down by seven heading into the fourthquarter in a prime time Friday Night Big East showdown with Cincinnati. Butthey pulled together and pulled it out. Teddy Bridgewater is a standout quarter-back.

18. Texas Tech – Yes it was disappointing for the Red Raiders, as KansasState ran away in the second half. But Texas Tech is in the midst of a brutalschedule stretch, which continues at home against Texas. Guns up! Tommy Tu-berville will have Texas Tech ready.

19. Stanford – Give Stanford just a ton of credit. Since that devastating,controversial loss in South Bend to Notre Dame, the Cardinal has put together acouple of nice wins. The strength of Stanford is an outstanding defensive line.

20. Southern Cal – It was a classic look-ahead for the Trojans. They jumpedout on Arizona 28-13 in the desert, but then got overwhelmed. Arizona scored26 consecutive points. And now the Trojans get the Ducks and that high pow-ered attack.

21. West Virginia – The Mountaineers desperately needed an open date aftergetting humiliated back-to-back weeks by Texas Tech and Kansas State. TCUcomes to call in Morgantown, and the Mountaineers will try and salvage some-thing.

22. Louisiana Tech – The Bulldogs from Ruston keep putting up big numbersand could be on the way to an 11-1 campaign. The only loss is that heart-break-ing 59-57 shootout to Texas A&M in Shreveport.

23. Texas – The Longhorns faithful are rightfully restless. They are tired ofunderachieving, barely beating bad teams like Kansas, and getting obliterated byarch-rival Oklahoma. Look out in Lubbock, Texas Tech will be tough for theHorns to hook.

24. Nebraska – Big Red is happy with a 23-9 domination of Michigan. The-Wolverines Dennard Robinson sustained an injured hand and that was all shewrote for Michigan. The Cornhuskers had to do it without Rex Burkhead.

25. Ole Miss – This is one of the nation’s most improved teams – especiallyon offense. The Rebels have play-makers all over the field, highlighted by quar-terback Bo Wallace and tailback Jeff Scott. They catch Georgia at a good time be-tween the hedges Saturday.
