2011 Spring Outlook

o say Georgia’s 2012 football season begins with the spring practice would be inaccurate. According to Coach Mark Richt, it began around 6 p.m. the evening of Jan. 2 in Tampa, Fla.

That’s when the 2011 Bulldogs pulled off the pads for the last time, minutes after their triple-overtime loss to Michigan State in the Outback Bowl. In the locker room, Richt thanked the members of the senior class for their leadership during the 10-4 campaign that included an SEC Eastern Division title. He then reminded the Class of 2012 that their watch had started.

“Every year has a new challenge,” Richt said. “Every year, you have a new team. I knew when we left the Outback Bowl that team was gone and we’d never see it again. Every year brings new dynamics, new leadership, new chemistry, new unity. As coaches and players, we get to build it all over again.”

Richt then paused and noted that some aspects of Georgia’s process will not be new: “We will try to get better on a daily basis, so that we can compete at the highest level we can when we get there.”

The next step in that process is spring practice, 15 days of workouts that will culminate with the annual G-Day Game in Sanford Stadium on April 14. As the Bulldogs head into camp, there is plenty of reason for optimism. Georgia will return 15 starters from the 2011 squad whose 10-game winning streak was the school’s first since the 1980s. Offensively, the Bulldogs return their leading passer, rusher and receiver, while the defense boasts 2011’s top performers in terms of tackles, sacks and interceptions.

Are there holes to fill? Of course. Every team deals with that, and newcomers will arrive this summer to bolster the depth chart.

But the nucleus is in place for the Bulldogs to maintain their position among the nation’s elite, and that group will strengthen its place during the upcoming spring practices. Competition breeds success, and that’s what Richt wants to see during March and April.

“I feel like everyone’s excited about the future,” Richt said.

“We’re all moving forward. (At the first team meeting), we talked about where we are and where we’re going, and I thought it was received well. As always, we want to compete in such a way and prepare in such a way that we have a chance to win every time we go out. Those goals won’t change. We want to win the East and have a shot at the SEC and a shot at the next one. That won’t change for us.”

QUARTERBACKS

Aaron Murray (6-1, 211, Jr.) has established himself as one of the nation’s top quarterbacks, and he will enter the 2012 season as an All-America and All-SEC candidate. Last season, Murray completed 238-of-403 passes for 3,149 yards – giving him two straight years of 3,000-plus yards. He connected on 35 touchdown passes to set the school’s single-season record. Murray added two touchdowns rushing to establish the UGA mark for touchdown responsibility at 37. Among SEC quarterbacks, Murray ranked second in passing yards per game and total offense and fifth in passing efficiency. Murray was named All-SEC First Team by ESPN.com and Phil Steele and Second Team by the Associated Press and the league’s coaches. Off the field, Murray was selected for the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team.

Hutson Mason (6-3, 196, Jr.) backed up Murray a year ago, seeing action in four games. Mason hit on 18-of-30 passes for 254 yards and two TDs in 2011 and is planning on redshirting this season to create a year of separation between he and Murray. Christian LeMay (6-2, 198, RFr.) impressed Georgia’s coaches during his redshirt season and will enter the mix this spring. Florida native Faton Bauta (6-3, 225, Fr.) enrolled early is going through offseason conditioning and spring drills with the Bulldogs. Parker Welch (6-3, 204, RSo.), Greg Bingham (6-4, 223, RSo.) and Michael Tamburo (5-11, 196, Jr.) are back and bring some additional depth.

RUNNING BACKS

Heading into spring practice, tailback appears to be one of the deepest positions on the team. In 2011, Georgia’s top five leading rushers were tailbacks, and each player is returning this season. In addition, the Bulldogs will be adding an early enrollee for spring drills.

Isaiah Crowell (5-11, 215, So.) earned 2011 Freshman AllAmerica and SEC Freshman of the Year honors as he rushed for 850 yards and five touchdowns. Crowell was chosen as the SEC Freshman of the Week four times in 12 weeks. Carlton Thomas (5-7, 163, Sr.) followed Crowell with 361 yards and two touchdowns. The Bulldogs also got 247 yards and a touchdown from Brandon Harton (5-6, 174, Jr.), 240 yards and a touchdown from Richard Samuel (6-2, 243, Sr.) and 174 yards from Ken Malcome (6-0, 226, RSo.). Each tailback, except for Harton, started at least one game in 2011. Keith Marshall (5-11, 190, Fr.) will throw his hat in the ring after enrolling in January. Marshall was rated by one recruiting service as the nation’s top high school running back after gaining 4,552 yards and 55 touchdowns during his career in North Carolina. The Bulldogs also will return Kyle Karempelis (59, 180, So.) and Alex Parsons (5-10, 194, Jr.).

With the graduation of Bruce Figgins, Alexander Ogletree (510, 224, Jr.) enters the spring as the Bulldogs’ only experienced player at fullback. Georgia also will evaluate Dustin Royston (5-11, 242, Jr.), Merritt Hall (5-11, 216, RFr.), Greg Mulkey (6-3, 230, RFr.), Drew Wilson (6-2, 206, Jr.) and Chris Young (6-1, 230, Jr.).

WIDE RECEIVERS

Excluding tight ends, the Bulldogs return their top five receivers from a year ago.

Tavarres King (6-1, 192, Sr.) paced the Bulldogs with 47 receptions for 705 yards and eight touchdowns in 2011. He capped the season with six grabs for a single-game school record tally of 205 yards and a score in the Outback Bowl. Malcolm Mitchell (61, 184, So.) followed with 45 catches for 665 yards and four touchdowns to earn Freshman All-SEC recognition. The Bulldogs also return Michael Bennett (6-3, 208, So.), Chris Conley (6-3, 202, So.) and Marlon Brown (6-5, 222, Sr.). Bennett had 32 catches for 320 yards and five touchdowns, Conley added 16 for 288 and two scores, while Brown had 15 for 234 and three touchdowns.

Rantavious Wooten (5-10, 185, Jr.) returns for 2012 after missing most all last season with a concussion. Also back are lettermen Taylor Bradberry (6-3, 192, Sr.) and Rhett McGowan (6-0, 190, RSo.). This spring, Georgia’s coaches will also look at Justin Scott-Wesley (5-11, 218, RFr.) who is running track for the Bulldogs in addition to his football duties. Michael Erdman (5-10, 191, RSo.), Jamal Payette (6-3, 183, RFr.), Evan Wells (6-1, 174, RFr.) and Curtis Wyatt (6-1, 195, So.) bring additional depth.

TIGHT ENDS

This position was hit hard with the early departure of Orson Charles to the NFL and the graduation of Aron White. Charles and White were the only tight ends with catches last year, as Charles hauled in 45 for 574 yards and five touchdowns and White added nine for 101 yards and four scores. Charles finished the season with All-America and All-SEC recognition and as a finalist for the John Mackey Award as the country’s best tight end.

Arthur Lynch (6-5, 272, Jr.) appeared in all 14 games last season and had a start, primarily in blocking situations and on special teams.

Jay Rome (6-6, 254, RFr.), who joined the basketball team after football season, turned heads during his redshirt campaign. The Bulldogs additionally have Jack Loonam (6-0, 215, RFr.) at the position.

2011 Spring Outlook OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

The graduation of NFL prospects Justin Anderson, Cordy Glenn and Ben Jones means the Bulldogs must replace three-fifths of their starting lineup from a year ago. With that trio leading the way, Georgia set school records for total plays and touchdown passes, and the Bulldogs rolled up 408.5 total yards and 32.0 points per game. Jones and Glenn each earned All-America and All-SEC recognition at the end of the season.

Guards Kenarious Gates (6-5, 328, Jr.) and Chris Burnette (62, 313, Jr.) are Georgia’s returning starters. Guard Dallas Lee (6-4, 300, Jr.) garnered starting experience before a broken leg sidelined him, while center David Andrews (6-2, 280, So.) logged enough snaps to earn a letter. The Bulldogs also have Watts Dantzler (6-7, 310, So.), Zach DeBell (6-6, 273, RFr.), Kolton Houston (6-5, 291, RSo.), Austin Long (6-5, 304, Jr.), Hunter Long (6-4, 300, So.) and Xzavier Ward (6-7, 264, RFr.) to evaluate this spring. Mark Beard (6-4, 209, So.) transferred from Coffeyville Community College, where he earned NJCAA All-America honors, and he will enter the mix. Georgia also will look at Caleb Drake (6-1, 275, RFr.), Ben Reynolds (6-2, 255, Jr.), Eddie McQuillen (6-8, 264, RFr.) and Hugh Williams (6-5, 254, RSo.).

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN

The Bulldogs lost just one player, DeAngelo Tyson, off the front end of their defense.

At nose, Georgia returns John Jenkins (6-3, 351, Sr.) and Kwame Geathers (6-6, 350, Jr.). A year ago, they combined for 42 tackles – Jenkins even added an interception in the Outback Bowl – and did an admirable job engaging offensive linemen at the point of attack, freeing the skill positions to make the lion’s share of the tackles. Geoff Rapp (6-3, 230, RFr.) returns as well for Georgia.

Abry Jones (6-3, 309, Sr.) and Garrison Smith (6-3, 294, Jr.) will lead the Bulldogs at the end positions. Jones had 48 tackles, including seven for loss and four sacks, and 20 quarterback pressures a year ago. He earned SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors after making four tackles against Kentucky. Smith pitched in 22 tackles, including three for loss. He was named the SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week with a career-best seven tackles against Georgia Tech. Derrick Lott (6-4, 303, Jr.), Mike Thornton (6-1, 287, RSo.) and Dexter Morant (6-7, 245, RSo.) give Georgia additional depth at end.

OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS

With 2011 All-American Jarvis Jones (6-3, 241, Jr.) leading the way, this figures to be a strength for the Bulldogs this season.

Jones garnered All-America recognition from virtually every organization a year ago after rolling up 70 tackles, including 19.5 for loss and an SEC-best 13.5 sacks, and 49 quarterback pressures.

A finalist for the Butkus Award, Jones led the SEC and was fifth nationally in sacks per game. He also led the league and was 16th in the nation in tackles for loss per game. In Georgia’s win over Florida, Jones had five tackles, including four sacks, and forced a fumble to earn National and SEC Player of the Week honors.

Cornelius Washington (6-4, 269, Sr.) followed with five sacks among his 17 tackles last season. He also posted 29 quarterback pressures. Ray Drew (6-5, 263, So.), Chase Vasser (6-3, 227, Jr.) and Reuben Faloughi (6-5, 255, Jr.) give the Bulldogs additional options. Vasser had 16 tackles, Drew added eight and Faloughi recorded three in backup roles last season. Drew was chosen as the SEC Freshman of the Week following the Vanderbilt game in which he had three tackles and a fumble recovery. The Bulldogs also return T.J. Stripling (6-6, 222, Jr.), Sterling Bailey (6-3, 259, RFr.) and Ricky Lowe (6-7, 258, Sr.).

INSIDE LINEBACKERS

The Dogs boast plenty of experience at inside linebacker, led by returning starters Michael Gilliard (6-2, 220, Sr.) and Alec Ogletree (6-3, 236, Jr.). Gilliard ranked third on the team last year with 65 tackles, followed by Ogletree with 52 stops. Gilliard was chosen as a National and SEC Defensive Player of the Week with 12 tackles, a forced fumble and a pass breakup in Georgia’s win at Tennessee.

Christian Robinson (6-2, 226, Sr.), who has 15 starts among his 37 collegiate games, returns as the veteran of the group. Last season, Robinson rolled up 47 tackles. Amarlo Herrera (6-2, 231, So.) filled in admirably a year ago when Ogletree was out with a broken foot and registered 37 tackles. The Bulldogs also have Ramik Wilson (6-2, 224, So.), Brandon Burrows (6-3, 240, RSo.), special teams ace Kosta Vavlas (6-0, 219, RSo.), Corey Campbell (5-10, 210, RSo.) and Taylor Maxey (5-10, 220, RFr.).

SECONDARY

Despite the exit of Brandon Boykin, the Paul Hornung Award winner as the nation’s most versatile player, the Bulldogs return three starters among the defensive backs. Replacing Boykin won’t be easy as he not only had 55 tackles and three interceptions a year ago, but he added 103 yards and a touchdown rushing, five catches for 71 yards and two scores, 14 punt returns for 180 yards and a touchdown, and 850 yards in kickoff return yardage. However, the Bulldogs have their share of options in the secondary.

Sanders Commings (6-2, 217, Sr.) and Branden Smith (5-11, 176, Sr.) both have experience starting at cornerback. Commings had 55 tackles and an interception a year ago. Smith notched 24 tackles and two interceptions, and like Boykin, he was a threat with the ball in his hands as he posted 100 yards rushing, 39 yards receiving, 70 yards on punt returns and 131 yards on kickoff returns. Damian Swann (5-11, 177, So.) earned a start a year ago and he played in 11 games, registering five stops.

At safety, 2011 starters Shawn Williams (6-1, 220, Sr.) and Bacarri Rambo (6-0, 218, Sr.) return. Williams was Georgia’s leading tackler a year ago with 72 and he added four interceptions. Rambo earned All-America honors after posting 55 tackles and a team-best eight interceptions. He led the SEC and was second in the nation in interceptions per game, and had the third-most interception return yards for a single season in school history with 157. Rambo (second), Commings (fifth) and Williams (18th) ranked among the league leaders in passes defended per game.

In the secondary, the Bulldogs also return Devin Bowman (60, 175, RFr.), Quintavius Harrow (5-11, 183, So.), special teams standout Blake Sailors (5-11, 186, Jr.), Corey Moore (6-2, 207, So.), Marc Deas (6-1, 197, RSo.), Connor Norman (5-10, 208, RSo.), Austin Herod (5-10, 191, Jr.), Luis Capella (5-10, 176, Jr.) and Jesse Jones (6-0, 190, RFr.).

SPECIALISTS

The Bulldogs said goodbye to punter Drew Butler and kicker Blair Walsh, two of the best to ever play their respective positions at Georgia. Butler, who was a 2009 first team All-American and Ray Guy Award winner, averaged 44.2 yards and pinned opponents inside the 20-yard line with 21 of his 58 punts in 2011. Walsh completed his career as the SEC all-time scoring leader and ranked second in NCAA history in career points with 409, which included 10 field goals of 50 or more yards. Last season, he led the Bulldogs with 109 points on 46-of-46 extra points and 21-of-35 field goals.

The Bulldogs also lost reserve kicker Brandon Bogotay and the aforementioned Boykin for returns.

Georgia signed prospects at both punter and kicker, but they won’t arrive until preseason camp. In the meantime, the Bulldogs will evaluate Adam Erickson (5-10, 168, RSo.), Ethan Jackson (5-11, 182, RFr.) and Cody Johnson (6-1, 200, RSo.) at punter, and Jamie Lindley (5-11, 177, Sr.) and Scott Eichler (5-11, 184, Sr.) at kicker.

Did You Know?

During the 2011 season, Georgia went on a 10-game winning streak. This was the longest inseason winning streak since the 1982 team under Vince Dooley went a perfect 11-0 during the regular season. Under Mark Richt, UGA won 11 straight games over a span of two seasons, winning the final seven in 2007 and the first four contests in 2008.

2012 Bulldog Spring Storylines All-Americans Returning For More For the first time in school history, two Bulldog defenders who earned All-America honors

the year before are returning to Georgia’s lineup. Junior OLB Jarvis Jones was the SEC leader in sacks with 13.5 in 2011 and finished with the second-most tackles (70) for the Bulldogs.

Senior FS Bacarri Rambo was second in the nation with eight interceptions and tallied the third-most interception return yards for a single season in school history with 157.

Close Look At The Backfield Georgia returns its top five rushers from last season, including a healthy Isaiah Crowell

who was named the AP SEC Freshman of the Year after finishing with 850 yards and five touchdowns in 2011. Two of the nation’s most highly touted running backs, who both happen to be from North Carolina, are also joining the corps in Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley. Marshall enrolled in January and Gurley is expected to join his teammates in the summer.

Revamped O-Line Three starters on the 2011 offensive line who had combined for 125 career starts completed

their eligibility. Junior guards Kenarious Gates and Chris Burnette are the Bulldogs returning starters while juniors Dallas Lee and Austin Long, sophomores David Andrews, Watts Dantzler and Hunter Long also played last season and will be in the mix. In addition, Mark Beard enrolled in January after playing at the JUCO level and Xzavier Ward and Zach DeBell are coming off redshirt freshman seasons.

Murray’s Backup With the announced plans to redshirt Hutson Mason, competition opens up for Aaron

Murray’s backup. The options at QB include RFr. Christian LeMay, So. Parker Welch and Fr. Faton Bauta, who enrolled in January. Mason had just completed his sophomore year as Murray’s backup and is now creating a year between himself and the Bulldog starter. Mason appeared in four games in 2011 and eight games in his career.

Searching For Specialists While Georgia’s leading candidates at punter (Collin Barber) and kicker (Marshall

Morgan) are not expected to arrive until the summer as members of the 2012 signing class, the Bulldogs can try and work on finding their punt and kickoff return men in the spring. Recordsetting specialist Brandon Boykin, All-American punter Drew Butler and SEC record holder Blair Walsh completed their Bulldog careers in 2011.

Returning Starters On A Mission

A majority of the returning starters on defense explored the possibility of leaving early for the NFL following the 2011 season. Fortunately for the Bulldogs, all of them opted to return. This group includes a pair of All-Americans in junior OLB Jarvis Jones and senior FS Bacarri Rambo. Only junior TE Orson Charles decided to forgo his senior season and declare for the 2012 NFL Draft.

Non-Conference Success

Under the direction of Mark Richt, Georgia owns a 44-8 record against teams from outside the Southeastern Conference, including 30-1 at home. Last year, the Bulldogs beat Coastal Carolina, New Mexico State and #25 Georgia Tech and lost to #5 Boise State and then #12 Michigan State in the Outback Bowl.

Georgia Among Bowl Leaders In Victories And Appearances

Georgia played in a bowl game for a record 15th consecutive season last year. The Bulldogs are one of the top five bowl teams of all-time. The Bulldogs made their 47th appearance in post-season play at the 2012 Outback Bowl in Tampa, Fla. The Bulldogs’ bowl record is 26-18-3, including 7-4 under head coach Mark Richt.

Murray Setting The Tone For SEC Quarterbacks

QB Aaron Murray returns for his junior year and looks to be one of the nation’s elite at his position. The Tampa, Fla., native finished 2011 with a school record 35 touchdown passes. He also set the school record for touchdown responsibility by a QB in a season with 37 (35 passing, 2 rushing) last year. In just two quarters of play versus New Mexico State in 2011, Murray tied a school record with five touchdown passes. His five scores all went to different receivers.

Murray finished the season second in the SEC in total offense at 232.9 y/g while the Bulldogs were third in the same category at 408.5. In his 16 wins as a starter, Murray has 39 TDs to just nine INTs. Murray is the SEC’s leading active player in total offensive yards (6,476), completions (447), TD responsibility (65), TD passes (59) and passing yards (6,198).

No. 2 Signal Caller For The Bulldogs

Hutson Mason played in four games at quarterback in 2011, going 18-of-30 for 254 yards and two touchdowns, and has appeared in eight games over the last two seasons. But in 2012, the decision has been made to redshirt Mason to give a year separation between him and junior Aaron Murray.

Now, redshirt freshman Christian LeMay, a 2009 SuperPrep AllAmerican, will be battling redshirt sophomore Parker Welch and true freshman Faton Bauta for the backup job. Welch played in two games last season and completed his only pass for 20 yards. Bauta enrolled at UGA in January after earning a No. 15 national ranking as a dual-threat quarterback while playing for Dwyer HS in Palm Beach, Fla.

Plugging The Holes On The Offensive Line

Georgia lost seniors C Ben Jones, LT Cordy Glenn and RT Justin Anderson after the trio enabled the Bulldogs to set school records for total plays and touchdown passes in 2011, as well as roll up 408.5 total yards and 32.0 points per game. Glenn finished with 50 starts, including the team’s last 47 games, and tied the school record for the most starts for a Bulldog lineman (Clint Boling, 2007-10). Jones started 49 games in his career.

Leadership now turns to juniors Kenarious Gates, Chris Burnette and Dallas Lee, who split time at the guard last year and have 31 starts between them. Sophomore David Andrews is expected to compete for the job at center while early enrollee Mark Beard, who was a NJCAA All-American at Coffeyville CC last year, will give Georgia depth at tackle. In addition, sophomores Watts Dantzler and Hunter Long gained game experience in 2011 and will be counted on during the 2012 campaign. They will be joined by junior Austin Long, sophomore Kolton Houston and Xzavier Ward and Zach DeBell, who both redshirted last season as first-year freshmen, as second-year OL coach Will Friend figures out his lineup.

Options In The Backfield

Depth will not be a problem for the Bulldogs in the backfield. The team’s top five leading rushers were tailbacks in 2011 and all return this year. Four different players started at running back and three different Bulldogs finished the year with 100-yard games. Sophomore Isaiah Crowell was named the AP SEC Freshman of the Year after rushing for 850 yards and five touchdowns.

Senior Carlton Thomas, who started a game and played in 10, was next with 361 yards and two TDs while former walk-on Brandon Harton had 247 yards and a touchdown. Also, senior Richard Samuel IV (240 yds, 1 TD) and sophomore Ken Malcome (174 yds.) will be available for the Bulldogs’ attack.

An addition to the corps is freshman Keith Marshall, who enrolled with the Bulldogs in January. Marshall arrives in Athens after tallying 4,552 yards and 55 touchdowns during his high school career in North Carolina. Another NC high school standout, Todd Gurley, will join the Bulldogs in the summer.

Senior CB Branden Smith also remains a threat on offense after carrying the ball 13 times for 100 yards and a touchdown last season. At fullback, junior Alexander Ogletree starts his third full year and is aiming to fill the shoes of departed senior Bruce Figgins. In addition, the 6-2, 245-pound freshman Quayvon Hicks is scheduled to start classes in the summer and will add depth at FB.

Who To Cover?

The Bulldogs attacked the opposition in 2011 with a wide variety of weapons at receiver. Six players recorded more than 230 yards receiving, with three of those having at least 45 catches, and all but one return this season. In fact, QB Aaron Murray threw touchdowns to 10 different Bulldogs last year.

Senior Tavarres King led the crew with 705 yards on 47 catches and eight touchdowns, including a school record 205 yards and a score on six receptions in the Outback Bowl. Close behind King in last year’s standings was freshman Malcolm Mitchell who snagged 45 catches for 665 yards and four touchdowns in just 11 games played.

A pair of sophomores - Michael Bennett, who was second on the team with five TDs, and Chris Conley - give Murray another pair of targets. Bennett was fourth on the team with 320 receiving yards while Conley had 288 yards and two touchdowns in 11 contests. King is joined in the senior ranks

by Marlon Brown who made five starts and was also was part of the 200-yard club, including a 121-yard, two touchdown performance at Vanderbilt. Only TE and Mackey Award finalist Orson Charles (45 rec., 574 yds., 5 TDs), who left early for the NFL, will be missing from last year’s top six receivers.

Georgia ranked fifth nationally in Total Defense (277.2 ypg), 11th in Rushing Defense (101.2 ypg) and 23rd in Scoring Defense (20.6 ppg) last season. The best news for the Bulldogs is that nine of 11 starters from that 2011 team return, including 12 of the 14 leading tacklers. Those nine returning defenders teamed with several key backups to account for 33.5 of the Bulldogs’ 35 sacks (2.50/g, which was second in the league) and 17 of their SEC-leading 20 interceptions. During the Bulldogs’ 10-game winning streak, Georgia surrendered 133 points (13.3/g). In that span, they allowed just 12 touchdowns. Also, UGA’s opponents reached the Red Zone only 16 times in those 10 games and that resulted in 73 points.

The Bulldog defense allowed 27 touchdowns in 2011. Georgia’s special teams surrendered five scores and the offense allowed five.

SEC Sack Leader Jarvis Jones Returns For More

Junior OLB and Butkus Award finalist Jarvis Jones announced during the season that he was remaining at Georgia and not declaring for the NFL Draft, which instantly gave the Bulldogs a solid foundation at linebacker. The First-Team All-American led the SEC and was tied for fifth nationally with 13.5 sacks (which was just a half sack off David Pollack’s school record 14 set in 2002) last year in his first season playing under Bulldog defensive coordinator Todd Grantham’s 3-4 scheme. The Columbus native was also No. 1 in the league with 19.5 tackles for loss.

Thanks in part to his persistence in the opponent’s backfield, the Bulldog defense was second in the SEC with 35 sacks in 2011 and 33 of those sacks came in SEC action.

Stellar Linebacker Corps Extends Past Jones

Stingy Secondary Mostly Intact

The Bulldogs are hoping to lean on a secondary unit that only loses one starter from last year. Despite CB/return specialist Brandon Boykin taking his 55 tackles (11 for loss) and three interceptions from 2011 to the NFL, Georgia returns senior CB Sanders Commings and senior safeties Bacarri Rambo and Shawn Williams to its arsenal. Rambo was the most dangerous threat to opposing quarterbacks last season after managing an SEC-leading eight interceptions to complement 55 tackles.

The AP First Team All-American also shot to third in the school record books by returning those eight picks 157 yards, including a return for a touchdown versus #24 Auburn. Williams led the Bulldogs with 72 tackles and was second on the team with four interceptions last year. Commings joined Rambo and Williams in deciding to stay with the Bulldogs for their season. Starting 11 games at CB and three at one of the safety spots, Commings also finished with 55 tackles, including 46 solos, to go with an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

Senior Branden Smith, who like Boykin is a CB and a return specialist, will be a candidate to fill Boykin’s vacancy on defense after notching 24 stops and a pair of picks. Sophomore Damian Swann also played in 11 games in 2011 and is gearing up for a breakout campaign in 2012. Fellow sophomore Corey Moore played primarily on special teams last season and is now ready to assume his role on the Bulldogs defense.

Middle Losing Little

The Bulldog defensive front loses only one member, DeAngelo Tyson, from its 2011 group. During Georgia’s 10-game winning streak, the Bulldog defensive front held its opponents to an average of just 75.7 yards and helped UGA rank third in Rushing Defense (101. 2 yds/g) in the league and fourth in Total Defense (277.2 yds/g). The Bulldogs are counting on more solid production from its two nose tackles in senior John Jenkins and junior Kwame Geathers. Jenkins started seven games in his first season with the Bulldogs and finished with 28 tackles, including six for loss, and an interception in the Outback Bowl. Geathers added 14 stops in his 12 games played.

At end, Abry Jones put the NFL on hold to stick around for his senior season

after gathering 48 tackles, including four sacks, while starting all 14 games. Jones will be working with junior Garrison Smith, who earned SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors after the victory over #21 Georgia Tech in 2011 and started the last two games of the season after Tyson went down with an ankle injury versus the Yellow Jackets.

Searching For Specialists

The Bulldogs lost a one-of-a-kind trio of specialists and will be looking for their replacements this spring. All-American punter Drew Butler was named the 2009 Ray Guy Award winner for being the nation’s top punter and finished as the school’s all-time leader and second in SEC history with a 45.4 average. Place kicker Blair Walsh finished his career as the SEC’s all-time leading scorer with 412 points, which ranks fifth all-time in NCAA history, after drilling 10 field goals of 50 or more yards. Return specialist Brandon Boykin completed his time as a Bulldog as the only player in SEC history with three plays of 100 yards of any kind and the Outback Bowl MVP ended up second on the all-time conference list with 2,663 kickoff return yards on 113 returns (24.2 avg).

Georgia signed a punter in Collin Barber of Cartersville and a place kicker in Marshall Morgan of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. They will not arrive on campus until the summer. Branden Smith is the only returner with experience so competition to return punts and kickoffs for the Bulldogs will start this spring.

While Jarvis Jones stacked up the accolades and broke into the headlines the most in 2011, the Bulldogs also return the other three starters at linebacker and a handful of their substitutes. Senior ILB Michael Gilliard assumed a starting role for the first time last year and finished third on the team with 65 tackles, including seven for loss. His versatile inside partner is junior Alec Ogletree, who, despite missing six games with a foot injury, piled up 52 stops (7.5 tackles for loss) and forced a team-high three fumbles. Ogletree led the Bulldogs during their last five games in tackles and finished with a career-high 13 tackles to go along with a tipped pass that teammate John Jenkins hauled in for an interception.

Senior Christian Robinson will share the load at ILB. Robinson, who also suffered a foot injury causing him to miss two games last year, will be expected to direct traffic on defense after recording 47 stops in 2011.

#5 BOISE STATE

Sept. 3, 2011 • Georgia Dome - Athens, Ga. The Georgia Bulldogs suffered a 35-21 loss to the fifth-ranked Boise State Broncos in the 2011 season opener on Sept. 3 in the Chick-fil-A Kick-Off Game in front of a crowd of 73,614 at the Georgia Dome and a ESPN national television audience. The loss moves them to 89-26-3 in season openers, including 9-2 under Mark Richt. This game marked the first time since 1965 that Georgia opened a season against a team ranked among the top-five nationally. The win evens Boise States’s record against Georgia at 1-1.

Georgia senior cornerback Brandon Boykin made his first career play on offense with an 80-yard touchdown run to give UGA a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Boise State answered quickly as senior quarterback Kellen Moore found redshirt freshman Matt Miller for a 17-yard touchdown pass to tie the score.

Junior cornerback Branden Smith recorded Georgia’s first interception of the season with 5:32 left in the second quarter, which was soon followed by a Boise State pick by Jerrell Gavins.

Boise State would continue its offensive run with a seven-yard rushing touchdown by running back Doug Martin followed by a three-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Shoemaker to give BSU a 28-7 lead over the Dogs. With a nearly a minute left in the third quarter, Georgia sophomore quarterback Aaron Murray hit junior tight end Orson Charles in a hole for a 36-yard touchdown to make it a 28-14 game. Boise State added to its lead with a one-yard rushing touchdown from D.J. Harper at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The 35-14 tally would stand until Murray would find true freshman Malcolm Mitchell for a 51-yard pass for his first career touchdown with 10:15 remaining in the fourth quarter to bring the score to 35-21 in favor of the Broncos.

Junior linebacker Christian Robinson led the Bulldogs with a career-high 13 tackles followed by sophomore linebacker Jarvis Jones making his Bulldog debut with 11 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for a loss.

LOUISIANNA STATE

Dec. 3, 2011 • SEC Championship • Georgia Dome - Atlanta, Ga. No. 12 Georgia had its 10-game winning streak snapped on Saturday as No. 1 LSU topped the Bulldogs 42-10 in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game in front of 74,515 fans at the Georgia Dome.

After the Bulldogs (10-3) built a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, the Tigers (13-0) scored 42 unanswered points to pull away for the victory.

The Bulldogs forced LSU to go 3-and-out on its seven first half drives.

Georgia outgained LSU 293-237, but turned the ball over three times -- the first two leading to touchdowns and the third being returned for a score.

Quarterback Aaron Murray finished 16-of-40 (a career-high for attempts) for 162 yards and a touchdown. Tailback Ken Malcome had a team-high 37 yards on five carries, while Carlton Thomas added 27 yards on seven carries.

Receiver Tavarres King had two catches for 51 yards. Linebacker Alec Ogletree led the Bulldogs with six tackles and a sack. Defensive backs Shawn Williams and Baccari Rambo each added five tackles.

Kicker Blair Walsh gave the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead when he connected on a 40-yard field goal in the first quarter. Walsh set the NCAA record with a field goal in 44 career games, breaking the record of 43 by ex-Bulldog Billy Bennett. Georgia followed with a successful onside kick, its first since 2008, when Ogletree snared the ball out of the air.

Later in the first half, Murray connected with tight end Aron White on a 12-yard touchdown pass. Walsh’s PAT staked the Bulldogs to a 10-0 lead. The touchdown pass was the 33rd of the year for Murray, extending his school record. Walsh is now 19-for-31 this season. Currently, he has 404 career points, second in SEC history to Bennett’s record of 409.

At the half, the Bulldogs held a 10-7 advantage. Georgia’s defense held the Tigers without a first down and to just 11 total yards in the first half. LSU had never trailed at halftime this season. But the Tigers scored 21 points in the third quarter and added 14 in the fourth quarter. MVP Tyrann Mathieu sparked LSU’s rally as he returned a punt 62 yards for a touchdown and set up two more scores with a fumble recovery and another long punt return.

Georgia fell to 2-2 in SEC Championship Games. In school history, the Bulldogs are 1-4 when facing the top-ranked team. LSU leads the all-time series 16-12-1, including 2-1 in SEC Championship Games.

#12 MICHIGAN STATE

Jan. 2, 2012 • Raymond James Stadium - Tampa, Fla.

The Georgia Bulldogs dropped a 33-30 decision to Michigan State in a thrilling three-overtime game in the Outback Bowl on Monday afternoon in front of 49,429 fans and a nationally televised ABC audience. Georgia concludes its season with a 10-4 record. The Bulldogs are now 26-18-3 in bowl games, including a 7-4 mark under head coach Mark Richt.

Tavarres King set a school-record with 205 yards through the air. The junior finished with six catches, including a career-long 80-yard reception, and a touchdown. Murray finished 20-of-32 for 287 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Brandon Boykin, who was named the MVP of the game, forced a safety, returned a punt for a touchdown and scored on a 13-yard touchdown run.

Alec Ogletree led the Bulldogs defensively, finishing with 13 tackles, including 12 solo stops. He also recorded one sack and was in on two pass breakups. Christian Robinson tallied 10 tackles, including six solo stops and one tackle for a loss.

Georgia got on the board first after Boykin tackled Keshawn Martin for a safety that gave the Bulldogs a 2-0 lead early in the first quarter. Georgia scored two touchdowns in 87 seconds to extend its lead to 16-0 with just over three minutes left in the first half. The first touchdown came when Murray found King over the middle for 80 yards. Following the touchdown, Michigan State went three-and-out and was forced to punt. Boykin took the punt 92 yards for the second touchdown of the game. It was Boykin’s first career punt return for a touchdown.

Shawn Williams set up a 32-yard field by Blair Walsh with an interception of Cousins that extended the Bulldogs lead to 19-14.

Georgia drove down the field, marching 81 yards on six plays in 1:38. The drive was highlighted by a 53-yard reception by King that made it first-and-10 at the MSU 11. Boykin found the end zone for the second time three plays later.

Murray found Malcolm Mitchell for the two-point conversion that made it a 27-20 game.

With 2:06 to play, MSU’s Krik Cousins orchestrated a 10-play 85-yard drive that tied the game at 27-27 with under a minute to play to send it into overtime.

Georgia elected to play defense, setting up an interception by Bacarri Rambo.

Rambo returned it 15 yards to the Georgia 25. Walsh missed on a 42-yard field goal attempt on third down, sending the game into a second overtime.

The Bulldogs got the ball to start the second overtime. Walsh kicked a 47-yard field goal that gave Georgia a 30-27 lead. Michigan State answered with a field goal of its own that tied the game at 30 and sent it into the third overtime. The Spartans opened the third overtime with a field goal that gave them a 33-30 lead.

Georgia had a chance to win the game with a touchdown or tie it with a field goal, but had its field goal attempt blocked, sealing the win for Michigan State.

Head Coach Mark Richt

Head Coach Mark Richt came to Georgia with the goal of taking the lid off a program that had not won an SEC title in 20 years.

After 11 seasons between the hedges, he’s demonstrated what that means by winning two SEC Championships (2002, ‘05), four SEC Eastern Division titles and tied for another, and his 106-38 record is fourth best in the country in winning percentage among active coaches (.741). And his emphasis on graduation has come to fruition as 201 Bulldog players have earned their degrees during his tenure.

Richt was named SEC Coach of the Year in both 2002 and 2005. His record against nonconference teams is 44-8 and his teams are 38-10 when playing in an opponent’s home stadium.

Richt is also one of only six coaches in history to win two SEC championships (2002, 2005) in his first five years, and one of only five head coaches in SEC history to record four straight 10-win seasons (2002-05). The respect he has nationally was demonstrated in 2010 when Richt was named to the American Football Coaches Association Board of Trustees.

The excitement produced by Richt’s teams on the field has been matched by many other aspects surrounding the program. Richt has generated an atmosphere of excitement and unity among the Georgia people. Georgia supporters and fans became impressed with his sincerity, openness, family values, and the casual and genuine way he carried himself.

They liked his ideas on building a football program, his commitment to discipline, and the importance he placed on standards of excellence on and off the field.

And they liked the way he refused to set limitations on what would be a satisfactory season. “I like to set our goals high,” he said.

“I never want to put a ceiling on what we can accomplish.”

Richt also had a reputation for developing quarterbacks at FSU and that has continued at UGA. David Greene was named SEC Freshman of the Year in 2001 and in ‘02, Greene led the SEC in passing efficiency and was the consensus choice for All-SEC first team. By the end of his career, Greene had become the

Head Coach Mark Richt Building a Family

Richt married Katharyn in 1987. They have four children. Two came along the usual way — Jon and David. But two came in a very special way.

“We were in Sunday School class one day talking about the ills of society,” said Richt. “We explored questions like ‘who’s in charge of taking care of the poor and the elderly.’ We felt like the church should do its share.”

Also, Katharyn’s brother and sister-in-law had previously adopted children from the Ukraine.

Months later, Katharyn was in the Ukraine, a former republic of the Soviet Union, arranging the adoption of two children, classmates in the same orphanage. She spent 31 days there while Mark spent about eight days. When they returned in July, 1999, they had Zack and Anya, in tow.

“They have been a special blessing to all our family,” said Katharyn.

Uga, The Mascot Legacy Although the University of Georgia is now known as the home of Uga, the pure white English bulldog, several mascots led the Red and Black before Frank W. Seiler provided the current lineage beginning in 1956.

1890s

Trilby

1940s

The Goat, Feb. 22, 1892 Georgia’s mascot for its first football game against Auburn, Feb­ruary 22, 1892 in Atlanta, Ga., was a goat. Old newspaper clippings indicate that the goat wore a black coat with red U.G. letters on each side. He also had on a hat with ribbons all down his high horns, and the Auburn fans yelled throughout the game “shoot the billy-goat.”

Trilby, 1894 In 1894, Georgia’s mascot was a solid white female bull terrier owned by a student, Charles H. Black, Sr., of Atlanta.

Trilby, named after a novel by George Du Maurier, served as the campus pet and mascot for the Chi Phi fraternity.

Disputing stories speculate the origin of the Bulldog nickname, and the story of Trilby provides yet another opinion: “...every day Trilby took herself down to old Herty field with her master for football practice. She ran signals with the best of them and became an accustomed figure on the athletic field...One morning, Trilby failed to appear for her breakfast and after a frantic search she was finally discovered proudly washing the faces of her newborn family, 13 white puppies...Late one dusky fall afternoon, Trilby appeared for a grid workout and scampering after her came her 13 children, darting through players’ legs, barking and pace. ‘Well,’ suggested one of the players, ‘Trilby has brought us a name, Bulldogs.’ ...Every time a game was played on Herty Field, the boys would floss Trilby and her 13 offerings up with red and black ribbons, and so attired they have gone down in history as perhaps the first ‘sponsors’ in southern football.” —Ruth Stanton Cogill (Atlanta newspaper) “After the rein of Trilby and her family, chaos developed in the mascot department at the university. Many games had several, depending on which alumnus got his dog to the game first.” —AJC, Nov. 18, 1962 Mr. Angel, 1944-46 Mr. Angel, a brindle and white colored English Bulldog owned by Eastman,Ga.,physician, Warren Coleman, filled a void during some of the war years.

There was no mascot roaming the sidelines and Coleman took Mr. Angel to games and stood with him on the sidelines.

His picture on the field and with the Georgia cheerleaders appears in the 1945 and ’46 UGA annual, the Pandora.

Mr. Angel

1950s

Mike

Butch, 1947-50 Butch was a brin­dled English bulldog owned by Mabry Smith of War­ner Robins, Ga. He was spotted by students who were attending the 1946 Georgia-Georgia Tech game in Athens, and the canine appeared to be suited for the mascot position. Smith agreed to loan Butch to the University during the football season along with a female puppy named Tuffy. The female died of a heart attack following the Georgia-Kentucky game in 1948, but Butch continued to serve.

Spending the off-season at Smith’s home in Warner Robins, Butch was tragically shot in the summer of 1951 by a policeman after the dog escaped from his pen and was found roaming the streets. Butch is buried behind Smith’s business along Watson Boulevard.

In 2004 plans for a marker honoring Butch in his hometown were put into motion by longtime Warner Robins resident Guy Fussell.

Mike, 1951-55 Butch was succeeded by Mike, another brindled English bulldog, owned by C. L. Fain. Mike lived in the field house on campus and died of natural canine causes in 1955. As his master’s thesis, Gene Owens of Fort Worth, Texas, cast the bronze statue of Mike which is located at the entrance of Memorial Hall.

1956 - Uga Takes the Field In the last 100 years of intercollegiate football, Georgia’s Uga has established himself as the nation’s most well-known mascot. The line of pure white English bulldogs, which epitomizes everything Georgia, has been owned by the Frank W. “Sonny” Seiler family of Savannah, Ga., since Uga I first graced the campus in 1956.

Through the years, Uga has been defined by his spiked collar, a symbol of the position which he holds. He was given his name, an abbreviation for the university, by William Young of Columbus, a law school classmate of Seiler. Each of the Uga mascots is awarded a varsity letter in the form of a plaque, identical to those presented to all Bulldog athletes who letter in their respective sports.

As determined and published by the Pittsburgh Press, the Uni­ver­sity of Georgia is the only major college that actually buries its mascots within the confines of the stadium. Ugas I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII are buried in marble vaults near the main gate in the embankment of the South stands. Epitaphs to the dogs are inscribed in bronze, and before each home game, flowers are ­placed on their graves. The memorial plot attracts hundreds of fans and visitors each year.

For the past 20 years, Uga’s jerseys have been custom-made at the beginning of each season from the same material used for the players’ jerseys. Old jerseys are destroyed.

Uga’s on-field home is a permanent air con­di­tion­ed doghouse located next to the cheerleader’s platform, providing comfort in the heat of August and September. The custom-made doghouse is a gift from the Bahamian Bull­dog Club of Nassau, Bahamas, through the courtesy of Fred Hazlewood.

Uga, The Mascot Legacy 1960s

Uga I, 1956-66 “Hood’s Ole Dan” Record: 53-48-6 The current Uga line of solid white English bulldogs began with Uga I, Hood’s Ole Dan, born Dec. 2, 1955, in Columbus. Uga I was given to Cecelia Seiler by a friend, Frank Heard of Columbus and appeared in his first game in the 1956 home opener. As recalled by Sonny Seiler, “...his original red jerseys were made by Cecelia. It was necessary to take up children’s t-shirts to fit the dog in the right places. There is no telling how many of these jersey’s he wore out. During the early games in Athens, especially the hot ones before he had a dog house, the large green hedges that surround Sanford Stadium afford welcomed shade in the heat of battle. Unfortunately, the hedges constantly tore these jerseys and new ones had to be made.” epitaph: Damn Good Dog Uga II, 1966-72 “Ole Dan’s Uga” Record: 42-16-3 Uga I was succeeded by his son, Ole Dan’s Uga at an impressive pregame ceremony at Home­coming, 1966. With the Georgia Redcoat Band lining the field, Uga II was led to the center of the field by Charles Seiler, son of Sonny and Ce­ cel­ia. The student body erupt­ed in a cheer that was picked up by the entire stadium, ‘‘Damn Good Dog!’’ Uga II had an impressive reign as Georgia par­ticipate in five bowl games and win two SEC championships. epitaph: Not Bad for A Dog Uga III, 1972-80 “Seiler’s Uga Three” Record: 71-32-2 Born Oct. 9, 1972, Seiler’s Uga III was present for Georgia football’s finest moment as Herschel Walker took the Bulldogs to the 1980 national championship. He led Georgia to six bowl games in nine years and closed out his career in ultimate fashion winning the 1980 NCAA championship. Uga III retired on the 100th football game of his career, marking the season-opener of the 1981 season. He died just weeks later. epitaph: How ‘Bout This Dawg

Uga IV, 1981-89 “Seiler’s Uga Four” Record: 77-27-4 Uga IV was perhaps the most active of all the Georgia mascots, standing as the only one to attend a bowl game every year of his service (1981-89). He took over for Uga III in the 1981 season opener and over the next nine seasons, led Georgia to a record of 77-27-4. The highlight of his career was his personal appearance at the Heisman Trophy Ban­quet with Herschel Walker in New York on December 9, 1982. Uga IV was escorted through thebanquet hall by the president of the Down­town Athletic Club, and was earlier photographed with Herschel by photographers from across the country.

The proud Bulldog donned his game jersey for the outing and added the formal touch of a collar and black tie. Uga IV was the first mascot invited to the Heisman Banquet.Declared ‘‘Dog of the Decade’’ by Vince Dooley in 1991, Uga IV was posthumously awarded the highest honor available to University of Georgia mascots — the Georgia varsity letter. epitaph: The Dog of the Decade Otto, 1986 “The Substitute” Record: 3-1

Although Otto was not pure white like his father, he was called upon to fill in for his younger brother, Uga IV, who injured ligaments in his left hind knee when jumping off a hotel bed before the Vanderbilt contest. In four games during the 1986 season, Otto led the team to a 3-1 record and also co-mascotted (along with Uga IV), a victory over instate rival Georgia Tech. After winning his first two games, fans cheered, “2-and-0 with Otto!” Dooley, serving as head coach during Otto’s brief tenure, favored the substitute the most. “I have always had a great affection for those who came off the bench and performed, and he did that and had a great time,” Dooley said. Otto is buried in the Seiler’s backyard.

Uga V, 1990-99 “UGA IV’s Magillicuddy II” Record: 65-39-1

In the first game of 1990, Uga V officially began his reign as the Georgia mascot taking over from his father Uga IV, who passed away at his home in Savannah on Feb. 26, 1990. Uga V was the last pup sired by Uga IV and was born on March 6, 1990.

Named in honor of one of the greatest Bulldogs, Dan Magill, former Assistant Athletic Director for Public Relations and longtime tennis coach and sports information director. Surprisingly, the Seiler family became aware that Uga IV’s mate was expecting only 10

days before the litter was due. This notice came a week after Uga IV had passed away at his home in Savannah from kidney failure.

There were only three pups in the litter and the last one born on March 6 was the only solid white male.

Uga V had been perhaps the most well known of all the Bulldog mascots highlighted by his appearance on the cover of the April 28, 1997, Sports Illustrated which declared him the nation’s best college mascot. Rocketed to stardom, he also appeared in Clint Eastwood’s “Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil” — filmed in his hometown of Savannah, Ga. Uga V also presided over Georgia’s most successful collective sporting effort in department history as the Bulldogs claimed four NCAA team titles during the 1998-99 season — women’s swimming and diving, women’s gymnastics, men’s tennis and men’s golf — and placed second in the Directors’ Cup race. He died on Nov. 22, 1999, just over two months after his retirement. epitaph: “Nation’s Best College Mascot”—Sports Illustrated

Uga VI, 1999-2008 “Uga V’s Whatchagot Loran” Record: 87-27

In 2007, Uga VI became the winningest mascot in school history and owned a record of 87-27. The fall of 2008 would have been his 10th season after Uga VI reigned over more games than any other mascot with 114. He died on June 27, 2008. In his last game, the Bulldogs defeated Hawai’i 41-10 in the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on Jan. 1, 2008. Georgia finished the season ranked second in the AP poll.

The pregame passing of the bone ceremony from Uga V to his heftier and friskier son, Whatchagot Loran, took place at the 1999 GeorgiaSouth Carolina contest. Only a year old at his coronation, Uga VI stands as the biggest of all the Uga mascots weighing in at 65 pounds — 20 pounds heavier than his father.

His first season climaxed in a magnificent come from behind victory over Purdue at the Outback Bowl in Tampa. The comeback from a 25-point deficit marked an unprecedented feat in Georgia annals and the largest comeback in collegiate bowl history.

The 2000 season ended in Hawaii, but due to the distance and a quarantine rule, Uga VI missed the O’ahu Bowl, marking the first time the Georgia mascot had missed the postseason game since the 1969 Sun Bowl.

Alongside first-year head coach Mark Richt, Uga VI saw his third consecutive 8-4 season, which included a 26-24 win at then-No. 6 Tennessee for the Bulldogs’ first win in Knoxville since 1980.

Uga VI and Georgia experienced their best season in two decades as the 2002 Bulldogs won a record 13 games (to only one loss), and topped Arkansas to win the program’s first league title since 1982. And Uga VI roamed the sidelines as the Bulldogs defeated Florida State in the 2003 Nokia Sugar Bowl, 26-13.

The 2006 season marked the 50th anniversary of the Uga legacy of mascots at UGA. Georgia returned to Atlanta, Ga. to defeat Virginia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl on December 30, 2006 to end the season with a 9-4 record.

In 2007, Uga VI passed Uga IV (77-24-4) for the most wins of any bulldog in school history.

epitaph: A Big Dog For A Big Job, And He Handled It Well Uga VII, 2008-2009 “Loran’s Best” Record: 16-7

VII

The seventh in the Uga line of Georgia mascots was introduced to the Georgia people on Aug. 30, 2008, during pre-game ceremonies of the Bulldogs’ season opener against Georgia Southern.

“Loran’s Best” officially became “Uga VII,” when he was introduced for the first time to the Sanford Stadium crowd prior to kickoff of the Georgia vs. Georgia Southern game. He was escorted onto the field by members of the Frank W. “Sonny” Seiler family of Savannah who have owned the continuous line of mascots since Uga I took up the mantle in 1956.

Uga VII passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 19 of heart-related causes. It was the Thursday before the final home game of the 2009 season and the Bulldogs did not have a live mascot at the game. Instead, a wreath was placed on UGA VII’s doghouse, and the players wore a special UGA VII decal on their helmets to remember him. “Russ,” the five-year-old haf brother of Uga VII, served as the Bulldog mascot for the Georgia Tech game in Atlanta and helped his squad to a 30-24 win. He was the first substitute mascot since “Otto” in 1986. “Russ” will also serve as the mascot in the 2009 bowl game.

Uga VIII, 2010 “Big Bad Bruce” Record: 4-2

Born Sept. 12, 2009 in Savannah, Ga., Uga VIII is the grandson of Uga VI. He carries on the tradition of more than 60 years of all-white bulldogs bred by Frank “Sonny” Seiler and family.

Uga VIII was named in honor of Dr. Bruce Hollett from the University’s School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Hollett has been a long time caregiver for the famed line of English bulldogs. UGA VIII served six games in the 2010 season before he became ill and missed the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. He passed away with lymphoma on February 4, 2011.
