2016 Info Players Coaches 2015 Review History

2016 spring outlook

hen Georgia takes the practice field this spring, over three months will have passed since Kirby Smart was named as the Bulldogs’ new head coach. In that time — and for the first time in 15 years — the program has begun the paradigm shift that occurs whenever a coaching transition takes place.

The 15 allowable spring practices promise to be some of the busiest in recent Georgia football history. Foremost, a new set of coaches will begin to implement their new way of doing things.

They’ll do this while trying to replace 10 starters from last year’s squad, and also building depth from among 43 total returning lettermen.

Following is an early look at this year’s Bulldogs:

QUARTERBACKS

Jim Chaney, Georgia’s new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, inherits two veterans and a heralded newcomer as signal callers. Greyson Lambert (6-5, 220, Sr.) started 12 of 13 games a year ago, completing 162-of-256 for 1,959 yards and 12 touchdowns. Lambert set the NCAA record for completion percentage in a game by completing 24-of-25 passes against South Carolina and he had just two interceptions all season. Brice Ramsey (6-3, 213, Jr.) hit on 21-of-35 for 249 yards and a score in a reserve role.

The Bulldogs also welcome early enrollee Jacob Eason (6-5, 211, Fr.), who was named the national high school player of the year after throwing for 3,587 yards and 43 touchdowns his senior year.

Sam Vaughn (6-3, 189, RSo.) and Nick Robinson (6-1, 200, RFr.) provide additional depth.

RUNNING BACKS

First-year assistant coach Dell McGee has an experienced group to work with, though the unit will not be at full strength this spring. Tailback Sony Michel (5-11, 212, Jr.) paced the Bulldogs with 1,161 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground and he added another 270 yards and three scores receiving a year ago. Michel became the Bulldogs’ primary tailback at midseason when Nick Chubb (5-10, 220, Jr.) went down with a knee injury, which he will continue to rehab this spring. Chubb had rolled up 747 yards and seven touchdowns before his injury. Brendan Douglas (5-11, 215, Sr.) gives Georgia a veteran presence, while A.J. Turman (6-0, 204, Jr.) and Tae Crowder (6-3, 220, RFr.) will be vying for playing time.

Christian Payne (6-1, 232, Jr.) and Glenn Welch (6-3, 244, Jr.) are the Bulldogs’ experienced players at fullback. Georgia also will take a look this spring at Nick Moore (6-3, 245, So.), Kyle LeStrange (6-0, 233, Sr.) and Turner Fortin (6-1, 230, RFr.).

WIDE RECEIVERS

This unit, led by first-year assistant coach James Coley, has a plethora of players, though many lack significant playing time.

TaxSlayer Bowl MVP Terry Godwin (5-11, 174, So.) is the Bulldogs’ top returner after hauling in 35 passes for 379 yards and two touchdowns. As the triggerman in the Wild Dog

Seniors Brandon Kublanow (C) and Greyson Lambert (QB) are two of eight returning starters for Georgia on offense.

formation, Godwin also rushed and passed for a touchdown last year.

Reggie Davis (6-0, 170, Sr.) and Isaiah McKenzie (5-8, 170, Jr.) had 187 and 123 yards, respectively, along with additional numbers as end-around rushers and on special teams. Michael Chigbu (6-2, 216, So.), Kenneth Towns (6-3, 202, Sr.), Jayson Stanley (6-2, 204, So.) and Shakenneth Williams (6-1, 199, Jr.) saw action on both offense and special teams a year ago. The Bulldogs also return Shaquery Wilson (6-1, 200, So.), Steven Van Tiflin (6-1, 201, So.), Charlie Hegedus (6-2, 202, Sr.), Matt Price (6-0, 197, So.) and Wyatt Payne (6-1, 175, RFr.). Additionally, early enrollee Riley Ridley (6-2, 195, Fr.) will go through spring drills after a sterling prep career in Florida.

TIGHT ENDS

First-year assistant coach Shane Beamer takes over a group with both experience and depth. Jeb Blazevich (6-5, 248, Jr.) has career numbers of 33 catches for 413 yards and three touchdowns. Georgia also boasts Jackson Harris (6-6, 247, So.) and Jordan Davis (6-4, 235, Jr.), while Aulden Bynum (6-5, 268, Jr.) gives the Bulldogs options at both tight end and offensive tackle. Isaac Nauta (6-4, 237, Fr.), the nation’s top-rated prep tight end, enrolled in January and will begin to get indoctrinated into the offense.

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

The offensive line paved the way for 26 points, 192 rushing yards and 185 passing yards per game a year ago, and first-year assistant coach Sam Pittman inherits a unit with three starters returning. AllSEC second teamer Brandon Kublanow (6-3, 282, Sr.) anchored the line at center and also saw significant playing time at guard. Georgia also returns Isaiah Wynn (6-2, 278, Jr.) at tackle and Greg Pyke (6-6, 313, Sr.) at guard. Lamont Gaillard (6-2, 298, So.), Dyshon Sims (6-4, 293, Jr.) and Kendall Baker (6-6, 310, So.) picked

Terry Godwin rushed, received and even passed for touchdowns as a freshman in 2015.

DEFENSIVE BACKS

Trenton Thompson started six games at DT and had 25 tackles as a freshman in 2015.

up snaps as reserves in 2015. The Bulldogs redshirted Pat Allen (64, 297, RFr.), Sage Hardin (6-6, 281, RFr.), Sam Madden (6-6, 346, RFr.) and Mirko Jurkovic (6-5, 275, RFr.) to give them valuable time in practices and in the meeting and weight rooms. Georgia also has Jake Edwards (6-4, 284, So.), Thomas Swilley (6-3, 295, Jr.), Carson Hall (6-5, 295, Sr.), Billy Seward (6-3, 260, Jr.) and Alex Essex (6-5, 276, So.) for additional depth. Ben Cleveland (6-6, 345, Fr.), one of the country’s top offensive line prospects, enrolled early to participate in spring drills.

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN

Third-year assistant coach Tracy Rocker continues to stockpile talented players along the first line of defense for the Bulldogs.

Interior linemen Trenton Thompson (6-4, 307, So.) and John Atkins (6-4, 300, Jr.) combined for 37 stops a year ago, while DaQuan Hawkins (6-4, 302, So.) earned quality snaps. The Bulldogs also return Keyon Brown (6-3, 249, So.) and will welcome early enrollee Julian Rochester (6-5, 327, Fr.) into the fold. At defensive end, Georgia will enter spring with Michael Barnett (6-4, 276, So.), Chauncey Rivers (6-3, 272, So.), Jonathan Ledbetter (6-4, 251, So.), Justin Young (6-4, 265, RFr.) and Joseph Ledbetter (6-4, 240, Jr.).

2016 Info Coaches

Mel Tucker, the Bulldogs’ new defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach, has the largest group with which to work this spring. Last year, safety Quincy Mauger (6-0, 200, Sr.) rolled up 58 tackles and five pass breakups and All-SEC safety Dominick Sanders (6-0, 189, Jr.) paced the Bulldogs with six interceptions and added 48 tackles and six breakups. At cornerback, Aaron Davis (6-1, 190, Jr.) had 47 tackles, two fumble recoveries and an interception, while Malkom Parrish (5-10, 188, Jr.) registered 42 tackles and two picks. Rico McGraw (6-0, 192, So.) had 20 stops and Reggie Wilkerson (5-11, 176, Jr.) posted 11 tackles and an interception.

The Bulldogs also return a solid nucleus in Juwuan Briscoe (5-11, 193, So.), Rashad Roundtree (6-1, 205, So.), Kirby Choates (6-0, 198, So.), Jarvis Wilson (6-2, 190, So.) and DeAndre Baker (5-11, 174, So.) in the secondary. Georgia will receive additional depth from Shattle Fenteng (6-2, 185, Sr.), Avery McNeely (5-8, 180, Jr.), Otamere Enadeghe (5-11, 160, RFr.), Tim Hill (5-11, 170, Sr.) and Jonah Guinn (6-0, 191, Sr.). Chad Clay (6-0, 180, Fr.) enrolled in January to participate in spring drills.

2015 Review Records

SPECIALISTS

Beamer will use spring drills to start the process of identifying a new kicker and snapper for the Bulldogs. Rodrigo Blankenship (6-1, 185, RFr.) and Thomas Pritchard (5-10, 163, Sr.) are the top candidates at kicker. Trent Frix (6-0, 211, Sr.) has some experience at snapper, while John Courson (5-11, 190, So.), Matthew Herzwurm (6-0, 233, Jr.) and Hudson Reynolds (6-4, 215, RFr.) will get a look.

Ramsey took time from his quarterback duties to punt 25 times for a 41.9 average, including three of 50 yards or more. Tanner Stumpe (5-8, 166, So.) and Will Cowart (6-3, 164, So.) also will get punting reps.

McKenzie and Reggie Davis are Georgia’s leaders on returns as each took back punts for scores in 2015.

OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS

Third-year assistant coach Kevin Sherrer has an experienced unit returning for 2016, despite the significant losses of Jordan Jenkins and Leonard Floyd. Davin Bellamy (6-5, 241, Jr.) had 33 tackles, nine quarterback pressures, two caused fumbles and a fumble recovery a year ago, while Lorenzo Carter (6-6, 242, Jr.) posted 19 stops, six pressures and two caused fumbles. Chuks Amaechi (6-3, 230, Sr.) saw action in every game, while Shaun McGee (6-3, 232, Jr.), Johnny O’Neal (6-2, 231, Sr.), D’Andre Walker (6-3, 224, So.) and Tommy Long (6-2, 231, Sr.) are seasoned players.

INSIDE LINEBACKERS

Gone from this position is Georgia’s top returning tackler (and by a wide margin) Jake Ganus. First-year assistant coach Glenn Schumann takes over a segment led by Tim Kimbrough (6-0, 226, Sr.), the Bulldogs’ leading returning tackler with 67. Natrez Patrick (6-3, 248, So.) and Roquan Smith (6-1, 217, So.) debuted with a

Junior Malkom Parrish started all 13 games and had two interceptions last season.

Dome Opener

For the first time since 2011, Georgia will open the season in the Georgia Dome for the ChickFil-A Kickoff Game. The Bulldogs fell 35-21 to Boise State that year. North Carolina last played in this game in 2010, losing to LSU 30-24. Georgia went 10-3 last year, with a 24-17 win over Penn State in the TaxSlayer Bowl. Meanwhile, the Tar Heels finished the year 11-3 after 17th-ranked Baylor posted a 49-38 win over UNC in the Russell Athletic Bowl.

First Up In The SEC

This will mark the second time in history that the Bulldogs have faced Missouri in their SEC opener. Georgia traveled to Columbia, Mo., during the second game of the 2012 season to open its conference play and take part in the Tigers’ first SEC game after Mizzou joined the conference during the offseason. The Bulldogs welcomed them with a 41-10 win. This is only the fifth time in history that the teams have faced each other, including Georgia’s 1959 Orange Bowl victory in Miami.

Also, the Bulldogs will be facing Ole Miss for the first time in the regular season since the Rebels visited Athens in 2012. Georgia won that contest 37-10. The Bulldogs last visited Oxford in 2011 and left with a 27-13 victory.

2016 Bulldog Spring Storylines Head Coach Kirby Smart Headlines New Staff

For the first time in 16 years, the Bulldogs will kick off their season with a new head coach.

Kirby Smart, who played safety for Georgia from 1995-98 and coached the Bulldog running backs in 2005, accepted the opportunity to coach at his alma mater on Dec. 6, 2015. He spent the last nine seasons as Alabama’s defensive coordinator and was part of three BCS National Championships and the 2015 College Football Playoff national title while in Tuscaloosa. Mel Tucker (Defensive Coord./Secondary), Jim Chaney (Offensive Coord./QBs), Sam Pittman (OL), James Coley (WRs), Shane Beamer (TEs/Special Teams Coord.), Glenn Schumann (ILBs) and Dell McGee (RBs) will join Smart on the sideline this season. Tracy Rocker (Associate Head Coach/DL) and Kevin Sherrer (OLBs) also return to coach the Bulldogs.

Eight Offensive Starters Return

Anchored by a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in the lineup, Georgia returns eight starters on offense for 2016. Junior Sony Michel, who went for 1,161 yards and 11 total touchdowns, is back alongside junior Nick Chubb, who is expected to take the field in the fall after sustaining a season-ending knee injury last October. Chubb had accumulated 747 yards and seven touchdowns through five games. As a freshman in 2014, he finished with 1,547 yards and 14 touchdowns. Greyson Lambert is back as the Bulldogs’ signal caller after passing for 12 scores and only two interceptions during the Virginia transfer’s first year in the program. One of Lambert’s favorite targets, sophomore Terry Godwin, highlights the receiving corps after finishing second on the team with 35 catches for 379 yards and a pair of scores. A trio of starting linemen from last season return in senior OG Greg Pyke, senior C/OG Brandon Kublanow and junior OT Isaiah Wynn.

Experience Abounds At DB, Opportunities Exist At LB

The Bulldogs held their final five opponents in 2015 to less than 20 points apiece and completed the season leading the SEC in Pass Defense (144.0/g) and ranked third in Scoring Defense (17.2/g). Senior Quincy Mauger had the team’s fifth-most stops with 58 and junior Dominick Sanders recorded six interceptions last season, and both return alongside fellow junior starters Aaron Davis and Malkom Parrish in the defensive backfield. On the flipside, three of the top four tacklers from 2015 (ILB Jake Ganus, OLBs Leonard Floyd and Jordan Jenkins), who accounted for 235 stops and 26 sacks last season, have moved on to follow their NFL aspirations. The spotlight will be on senior ILB Tim Kimbrough (third with 67 stops last year) and senior OLB Chuks Amaechi, junior OLBs Davin Bellamy and Lorenzo Carter and sophomore ILB Natrez Patrick will headline the crew called upon to step up in 2016.

Six Early Enrollees Join The Bulldogs

Six early enrollees started school in January and are working out with the team while they take their first classes at UGA. Five-star QB Jacob Eason (Lake Stevens, Wash.) and five-star TE Isaac Nauta (Buford, Ga.) headline the early group which also included DL Julian Rochester (Powder Springs, Ga.), OL Ben Cleveland (Toccoa, Ga.), DB Chad Clay (Marietta, Ga.) and WR Riley Ridley (Coconut Creek, Fla.).

Non-Conference To Start Things Off

The Kirby Smart era will begin in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta against North Carolina in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Game. The Bulldogs own a 16-12-2 edge versus the Tar Heels dating back to their first matchup in 1895. The last time the teams squared off, Georgia edged UNC 7-3 in the Gator Bowl (now TaxSlayer Bowl) in Jacksonville to finish an 11-1 season in 1971.

Other than the annual matchup with instate rival Georgia Tech, this marks the first regular season ACC foe for the Bulldogs since Georgia blasted Clemson 45-21 to open the 2014 season. The Bulldogs also topped #20 Louisville 37-14 in the 2014 Belk Bowl.

The rest of Georgia’s 2016 non-conference slate includes Nicholls, UL Lafayette and Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs have never played Nicholls State and own a 1-0 record versus the Ragin’ Cajuns after beating them 55-7 in the 2010 season opener in Athens. Georgia leads the series with the Yellow Jackets 65-38-5 as the Bulldogs have won 13 out of the last 15, including last year’s 13-7 victory in Atlanta.

Dogs In The Super Bowl

For the 15th consecutive year, Georgia had at least one former player in the Super Bowl. The Bulldogs and LSU have the SEC’s longest streak of a former player being on a team that advanced to the Super Bowl. This year it was Thomas Davis, Charles Johnson and Fernando Velasco for the NFC champion Carolina Panthers. Georgia tied for the fifth most players of any school in this year’s Super Bowl. The last Bulldog to be on a Super Bowl championship team was Chris Clemons in 2014.

Georgia is the only school to have produced three Super Bowl MVPs: S Jake Scott, Miami, SB VII; RB Terrell Davis, Denver, SB XXXII; WR Hines Ward, Pittsburgh, SB XL.

2016 Spring Guide

OFFENSE Lambert Returns At QB After Setting Efficiency Mark

After transferring to UGA from Virginia to start graduate school during the 2015 summer, Greyson Lambert is back for his final year of eligibilty. The Jesup, Ga., native set a school record for Lowest Interception Percentage in 2015 after throwing just two picks in 256 attempts (0.78), which ranked second in SEC history. Starting 12 of 13 games last year, Lambert finished 162-for-256 for 1,959 yards and 12 touchdowns. New offensive coordinator Jim Chaney will also coach the QBs. Chaney arrives in Athens after spending one season at Virginia and spending the last 30 years coaching NFL and collegiate talent, including stints at both Arkansas and Tennessee.

Junior Brice Ramsey, who was the team’s primary punter for the second half of the season averaging 41.9 yards an attempt, will join Lambert and five-star early enrollee Jacob Eason in the battle for the job at quarterback. Ramsey finished 2015 going 21-for-35 (60.0 percentage) for 249 yards with one score and two interceptions.

Michel, Chubb Anchor Solid Backfield

The Bulldogs return five of their top six rushers from the 10-3 2015 season and have a new running backs coach in Dell McGee. McGee, a Columbus, Ga., native, comes to Georgia after spending the last two seasons at Georgia Southern and the season before at Auburn, his alma mater. In the backfield, junior Sony Michel returns after he became the 10th Georgia player in history to rush for more than 1,000 yards (1,161 on 219 attempts, 5.3 avg.) while starting just six games. Michel moved into the starting role after Nick Chubb, who became the ninth running back after he ran for 1,547 yards as a true freshman in 2014, went down with a knee injury during the sixth game of the year at Tennessee.

Chubb had tallied 747 yards and seven touchdowns on 92 carries (8. 1 avg.) through the first five games of last season and the opening play versus the Volunteers.

Receivers Looking For A Leader

Similar to the running backs, Georgia also returns five of its top six receivers from last year’s campaign. Missing from the lineup will be graduated senior Malcolm Mitchell. Mitchell led the Bulldogs last season with 58 catches for 865 yards and five touchdowns. He goes down in the UGA record books with the third-most receptions in history (174), sixth-most yards receiving (2,350) and eighth-most touchdown receptions (16). Georgia also added a new receivers coach with the hiring of James Coley, who has served as the offensive coordinator at both Florida State (2010-12) and Miami (2013-15).

Now, sophomore Terry Godwin, junior TE Jeb Blazevich, senior Reggie Davis and junior Isaiah McKenzie, among others, will be called on to help lead. Godwin became the first Bulldog in school history to catch and throw a touchdown during a bowl game to earn himself MVP honors of the 2016 TaxSlayer Bowl. The Hogansville, Ga., native started nine games as a true freshman last year and was second on the team with 35 catches for 379 yards and two touchdowns.

Three Linemen Anchor OL

Last year’s offensive line gave up the second fewest number of sacks (1.23/g) in the league and allowed Greyson Lambert to complete 63.3 percent of his passes with only two interceptions. This season, three of the five starters on the offensive line return. Seniors Greg Pyke (OG) and

dog tracks

Brandon Kublanow (C/OG) and junior Isaiah Wynn (OT) bring 62 career starts into the 2016 season. Sam Pittman is the new offensive line coach. He served in the same role for Arkansas the last three years. The Razorbacks led the conference in Fewest Sacks Allowed in 2015, giving up only 1.08/g.

DEFENSE Bulldog Secondary Returns Under New Coordinator

Georgia completed 2015 with 12 interceptions, and the defensive backs responsible for 10 of those return this year. All-SEC performer Dominick Sanders recorded a league-leading six picks in 2015 and complemented those turnovers with 48 tackles from his safety spot. Sanders finished with a UGA single season record of 205 interception return yards, which ranked fifth in SEC history. He already is fourth in the conference record books with 269 yards in his two years. Senior Quincy Mauger and juniors Malkom Parrish and Aaron Davis were also regular starters and will join sophomores Rico McGraw and Juwuan Briscoe and junior Reggie Wilkerson in the rotation.

Mel Tucker will be the defensive coordinator and coach the secondary after serving one year on the Alabama staff and seven as an NFL coordinator with the Bears, Jaguars and Browns.

2016 Info Players Coaches 2015 Review Records

New Faces On The Horizon At LB & DL

Senior ILB Tim Kimbrough, who finished third on the team with 67 tackles last season, is the Bulldogs’ sole returning regular starter at linebacker.

OLBs Jordan Jenkins and Leonard Floyd and their combined 389 tackles, 36 sacks and 68.5 tackles for loss are training for the NFL Draft after All-SEC careers with the Bulldogs. ILB Jake Ganus is also gone following one season with Georgia after transferring from UAB. In 2015, Ganus piled up a teamhigh 102 stops and two picks and was named the team MVP. During the coming season, Kimbrough will be joined by junior Reggie Carter, who is returning from season-ending shoulder surgery, and sophomore Natrez Patrick. Patrick started the final two games and had 22 tackles last season. Sophomore Roquan Smith also returns after playing in 12 games last season. However, Smith was sidelined for offseason workouts following the bowl game with a wrist injury. At OLB, juniors Davin Bellamy and Lorenzo Carter are geared for breakout seasons while senior Chuks Amaechi can give help at both LB spots. Kevin Sherrer (OLBs) and Glenn Schumann (ILBs) will divide up the coaching duties at these spots.

On the defensive line, the loss of veterans such as Sterling Bailey, Chris Mayes and James DeLoach is balanced with the emergence of freshman Trenton Thompson, who started six games and finished with 25 stops.

SPECIAL TEAMS Big Shoes To Fill For Specialists

Competition will be wide open at kicker and snapper following the departure of a pair of four-year starters. Marshall Morgan completed his career at Georgia as the third-leading scorer in SEC and UGA history with 407 points.

He also set the SEC record with 215 PATs made during his time in the red and black. Thomas Pritchard, William Ham and Rodrigo Blankenship will all be vying for playing time in the spring. Nathan Theus, brother of John, snapped for four seasons. Fourth-year snapper Trent Frix, who is the younger brother of former snapper Ty Frix, will have his opportunity for game action. Colin Barber, who punted 164 times over the 2012-15 seasons, will also be absent from the lineup. However, QB Brice Ramsey shared punting duties last season and finished with 25 with an average of 41.9. Shane Beamer will serve as the team’s new Special Teams Coordinator along with his duties with the tight ends after coaching under his father, Frank Beamer, the last five seasons at Virgina Tech.

Taking It To The House

The answers to who will be the Bulldogs’ punt/kick returners is a bit easier to figure out. Junior Isaiah McKenzie headlines the group after already making his mark in the all-time SEC record books with his returns in 2014-15.

His four punt returns for touchdowns ranks him fifth best in SEC history while his five total returns for scores (four punt returns, one kickoff return) is tied for third best in the league record books. Senior Reggie Davis also returns after having a team-leading 17 kick returns for 394 yards (23.2 avg.) to go with eight punt returns for 110 yards and one 70-yard touchdown at Tennessee last year.

hen Georgia looked for a new head football coach after the 2015 season, the arrows all pointed to Kirby Smart, longtime University of Alabama defensive coordinator and former Bulldog player and assistant coach.

On Dec. 6, 2015, Smart officially came home to Georgia.

But he had unfinished business at Alabama, which was still chasing a national title. He juggled two jobs for a month until January 11, 2016, when the Crimson Tide won its fourth national championship in a 7-year span. Twelve hours later, he was in Athens ready to go to work.

When Smart was named head coach he said “It’s an honor and privilege to return home to the University of Georgia and my home state. I’m deeply appreciative of the faith President Morehead, Greg McGarity, and the Athletic Board Executive Committee have demonstrated in asking me to lead one of the truly great college football programs in the country. I also want to thank Coach Saban. I have been fortunate to spend 11 seasons with him as my mentor and have learned a tremendous amount from him as a coach and teacher. I’m honored and excited for the opportunity at Georgia and promise high energy, effort every day, and hard work every minute on the part of all our coaches, staff and student-athletes.”

Smart has served on the Alabama staff the past nine years, the past seven as defensive coordinator. During his tenure at Alabama, the Crimson Tide has won three BCS National Championships, one College Football Playoff national title, three Southeastern Conference crowns, six SEC western division titles, and been ranked in the nation’s final top ten rankings the last eight years in a row.

A former standout defensive back and scholar-athlete at Georgia, Smart was one of the nation’s most respected defensive coordinators. During his time at Alabama, he coached players at three different positions, in addition to his coordinating duties. He was recognized as the 2012 AFCA Assistant Coach of the Year and the 2009 Broyles Award winner as college football’s top assistant coach. He was also a finalist for the 2015 Broyles Award.

Prior to joining the Alabama staff in 2007, Smart spent the 2006 season as safeties coach with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. He served six years on the collegiate level as the running backs coach at Georgia (2005), defensive backs coach at LSU (2004), graduate assistant at Florida State (2002-03), defensive coordinator/linebackers coach (2001) and defensive backs coach (2000) at Valdosta State, and administrative assistant at UGA (1999).

As the running backs coach on Georgia’s 2005 SEC Championship team, Smart’s Bulldogs unit averaged 162.2 rushing yards per game, third in the SEC. He coached Thomas Brown, Danny Ware, and Kregg Lumpkin—all

head coach kirby smart

of whom had NFL careers. In 2004 at LSU, he tutored two NFL draft picks: Corey Webster (2nd round, New York Giants) and Travis Daniels (4th round, Miami Dolphins).

As a player, Smart was a four-year letterman at defensive back for Georgia, where he was a first team All-SEC pick as a senior. He finished his career with 13 interceptions, a mark that still ranks fifth in UGA annals, and led the Bulldogs with six interceptions in 1997, five in ‘98. A four-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll, Smart earned his undergraduate degree in finance from Georgia and his Master’s degree from Florida State in 2003.

The 2015 Alabama defense ranked first nationally in rushing defense (75.7 ypg), third in total defense (276.3 ypg), and third in scoring defense (15.1).

His 2014 Alabama defense ranked fourth nationally against the run (102.4 ypg). The Crimson Tide ranked sixth nationally in scoring defense (18.4 ppg), while ranking 12th nationally in total defense (328.4 ypg). He helped junior safety Landon Collins earn unanimous first-team All-America honors while being selected as a finalist for the Nagurski Trophy, Thorpe Award and Lott Trophy.

Smart crafted another elite Alabama defense in 2013 after losing six more players to the NFL. The Crimson Tide ranked fourth nationally in scoring defense (13.9 ppg) while ranking fifth in total defense (286.5 ypg), seventh in rushing defense (106.2 ypg) and 11th in pass defense (180.3 ypg). Alabama was fourth nationally in red zone defense and fourth in fewest first downs allowed. He helped mold defensive leader C.J. Mosley into the nation’s best linebacker and winner of the Butkus Award.

Smart retooled the Alabama defense in 2012, molding a unit that lost six starters to the NFL after the 2011 season. The Tide led the nation in total defense (250.0 ypg), scoring defense (10.9 ppg) and rush defense (76.4 ypg) while ranking seventh in pass defense (174.3 ypg) and pass efficiency defense (103.72). The Tide defense featured two first team All-Americans in cornerback Dee Milliner and linebacker Mosley. Milliner was a finalist for the Thorpe Award, presented to the nation’s top defensive back. Mosley was a finalist for the Butkus Award.

The 2011 defense led the nation in all five major categories including total defense (183.6 ypg), scoring defense (8.2 ppg), rushing defense (72.2 ypg), passing defense (111.5 ypg) and pass efficiency defense (83.69 rating).

Dont’a Hightower (a finalist for the Lombardi Award, Lott Trophy, Butkus Award and Bednarik Award) led the team in total tackles with 85 and was selected in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots.

Smart’s rebuilding job in 2010 was impressive, as the Tide remained one of the nation’s elite defensive units while replacing nearly the entire defense (nine starters). Alabama led the SEC and ranked third nationally in scoring defense (13.5 ppg) and fifth nationally in total defense (286.4 ypg).

The 2009 season was a special one for Smart, as he not only helped lead Alabama to the national championship but also took home the Broyles Award as the top assistant coach in the country. The UA defense again was regarded as one of the nation’s top units, leading the SEC and ranking second nationally in scoring defense (11.7 ppg), pass efficiency defense (87.7), rush defense (78.1 ypg) and total defense (244.1 ypg).

In the 2010 BCS National Championship game against Texas, the Tide recorded four interceptions and scored a defensive touchdown.

Offensive Coordinator — Quarterbacks

2016 Info Players Coaches 2015 Review History

Jim Chaney was named offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at UGA on Dec. 12, 2015, after serving one year in a similar position at Pittsburgh.

A 30-year coaching veteran in the SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and the NFL, Chaney served the 2015 season at Pitt after a two-year tenure at Arkansas (2013-14). He has also served as offensive coordinator as Tennessee (2009-12), Purdue (1997-2005), and Cal State-Fullerton (1988-92).

Chaney also spent three years in the NFL with the St. Louis Rams (2006-08), working with the offensive line for two seasons and the tight ends for one. Steven Jackson gained 1,000 yards in each of Chaney’s three seasons in St. Louis.

At Purdue, he coached quarterback Drew Brees, who later led the New Orleans Saints to a Super Bowl title. Brees led the nation in total offense in 2000 (358.1 yards per game) and was selected the winner of the prestigious Maxwell Award as the college player of the year.

Chaney was an instrumental figure in Arkansas, which achieved its first winning campaign in three years during the 2014 season. The Razorbacks averaged 406 yards and 31.9 points per game, capping the season with a 31-7 rout of Texas in the Texas Bowl. Chaney’s offense produced two 1,000-yard rushers and a 2,000-yard passer.

While at Tennessee, he also served as the Volunteers’ interim head coach for the 2012 season finale, a 37-17 win over Kentucky. That same year, UT quarterback Tyler Bray threw for 3,612 yards and 34 touchdowns, both career bests, and also broke Peyton Manning’s single-game school record of 530 yards.

Chaney is a 1985 graduate of Central Missouri State. He and his wife Lisa have two daughters, Elizabeth and Sara.

Shane Beamer

He also held graduate assistant posts at Tennessee (200103) and Georgia Tech (2000). At USC, Beamer coached at several positions, including Spurs and strong safeties, outside linebackers and special teams. In his final two years in Columbia, Beamer also served as recruiting coordinator. He was nominated for the 2009 Frank Broyles Assistant Coach of the Year award after the season.

Beamer went to South Carolina after spending the previous three seasons at Mississippi State. He had come to Starkville from Tennessee, where he spent three seasons as a graduate assistant, earning a master’s degree in sport management in December 2003.

Beamer earned his bachelor’s degree from Virginia Tech in 1999 and was the Hokies’ starting long snapper for three seasons. He also contributed as a wide receiver. He played on four bowl teams and three Big East Conference championship squads.

Dell McGee

Assistant Coach — Running Backs Dell McGee was named running backs coach on January 3, 2015, just 10 days after he led Georgia Southern as interim head coach to victory in its first-ever bowl game—a win over Bowling Green in the GoDaddy Bowl.

He served as running backs coach at GSU the previous two seasons, both of which the Eagles led the nation in rushing offense—384 yards per game in 2014 and 363 yards per game in 2015.

GSU won the Sun Belt title in 2014 and had four backs top 600 yards in 2015.

McGee had been promoted to associate head coach early in the 2015 season.

Prior to joining the Georgia Southern staff McGee served one season at Auburn, his alma mater, where he worked as an analyst in 2013 when the Tigers reached the BCS Championship Game.

McGee developed Carver-Columbus High School into a perennial powerhouse as the Tigers rattled off seven straight seasons with 10 or more wins, including a perfect 15-0 season en route to the Georgia state title. In four of McGee’s last five years at the helm of the program, Carver advanced to the state semifinals.

McGee began coaching at the high school level as an assistant coach in 2001.

He has had a number of players advance to the professional ranks, led by UGA All-American Jarvis Jones. In 2011, McGee was selected to coach in the third annual Under Armour High School All-America Game in St. Petersburg, Fla. McGee was a two-year starter and four-year letterwinner at Auburn from 199295, helping preserve the Tigers’ undefeated 1993 season with a critical interception against Alabama. He was selected in the fifth round of the 1996 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals and remained with the organization through 1998. McGee played overseas in NFL Europe in 1999 and then concluded that season with the Detroit Lions.

McGee and his wife Linda have a son, Austin.

Sam Pittman

Assistant Coach — Offensive Line Sam Pittman was named offensive line coach at UGA on Dec. 12, 2015, after serving three years at Arkansas as offensive line coach, associate head coach and recruiting coordinator.

From 2012-15, a Pittman-coached offensive line has led the SEC in fewest sacks allowed—three years at Arkansas and one at Tennessee. Arkansas allowed only 1.00 sacks per game in 2015, 1.08 in 2014, and 0.67 in 2013. In 2012, Pittman coached the Tennessee offensive line that led the SEC with just 0.67 sacks allowed per game.

In 2015, Pittman’s Arkansas team finished second in the SEC in total offense (456.8 ypg), second in scoring offense (40.2 ppg), and third in passing offense (264.2 ypg).

Arkansas led the conference and was sixth in the nation in 2014 allowing one sack every 37.63 pass attempts. The Razorback offensive line kept opponents out of the backfield all season, and finished first in the SEC and fourth in the NCAA with an average of 3.75 tackles for loss allowed per game.

He previously served as offensive line coach at Tennessee (2012), Associate Head Coach and offensive line coach at North Carolina (2007-11), and offensive line coach at Northern Illinois (2003-06).

Pittman oversaw the offensive line in 2013 at Tennessee, when the Volunteers led the SEC and ranked fourth in the NCAA in fewest sacks allowed per game, following five seasons coaching the offensive line at North Carolina.

Pittman played at Pittsburg State, where he was a first-team NAIA All-American and twice earned all-conference recognition. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1986 and was inducted into the PSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1998. He is married to his wife, Jamie.

2016 Spring Guide

Mel Tucker

Defensive Coordinator — Defensive Backs Mel Tucker, assistant head coach and defensive backs coach at the University of Alabama and former NFL defensive coordinator, was named UGA defensive coordinator and secondary coach on January 12, 2016.

Tucker joined the Crimson Tide staff in January, 2015, after serving seven years as an NFL defensive coordinator: two with the Chicago Bears (2013-14), four with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2009-12), and one with the Cleveland Browns (2008).

2015 game summaries #9 Georgia 51, ULM 14

Sept. 5, 2015 • Sanford Stadium - Athens

2016 Info Players Coaches 2015 Review History

ATHENS ---- Quarterback Greyson Lambert threw two touchdown passes in his UGA debut and the Bulldog running backs piled up 243 yards on the ground as Georgia defeated ULM, 51-14, in front of a Sanford Stadium capacity crowd of 92,746 and a SEC Network television audience.

The 2015 season opener was a shortened contest. The game officially ended with 9:54 remaining in the fourth quarter because of lightning reported near the stadium.

The capacity crowd -- which also sat through an hour-long rain delay after halftime -- watched Lambert complete 8-of-12 passes for 141 yards, two TDs and no interceptions in his first start as a Georgia Bulldog.

The defense held the Warhawks to 251 total yards. Georgia defensive back Aaron Davis notched the team’s only takeaway during the contest, intercepting a fade pass thrown by ULM in the first quarter. The Bulldogs were led by safety Quincy Mauger and linebacker Leonard Floyd, who both finished the contest with eight tackles.

After forcing a three and out on the Warhawks’ first drive, the Bulldogs had great field position on the ULM 21-yard line. Two Chubb carries later and Georgia had its first lead of the game at 7-0.

On the ensuing possession, Davis picked off ULM QB Garrett Smith’s fade pass down the left sideline, returning the ball to the 15-yard line. The Bulldogs wasted no time, putting six more points on the board when Lambert hit tight-end Jeb Blazevich in the endzone for a diving catch.

The Bulldogs then put up 21 points in the second quarter thanks to a trio of touchdowns by Georgia tailbacks. Keith Marshall, who missed most of 2014 due to an injury, recorded two scores on the day -- his first coming on a 3-yard run in the second quarter. Chubb added a 23-yard TD run before Michel caught a 31-yard TD pass from Ramsey to take the Bulldogs into the half with a 35-7 lead.

Georgia added nine points to its lead in the third quarter thanks to a blocked punt by D’Andre Walker that forced a ULM safety. Malcolm Mitchell followed with a 28-yard TD reception from Lambert.

The Bulldogs added a score in the fourth when Marshall rushed in for his second TD of the game, this time a 2-yard run with 10:58 remaining in the fourth quarter to put the final score at 51-14 in the Bulldogs’ favor.

“I think this is the first time I’ve been involved in one that got terminated at this point. We had one delay, then another, and it could’ve gone all day and all night, so it was in the best interest of everyone to terminate it when we did.”

#10 Georgia 31, Vanderbilt 14

Sept. 12, 2015 • Vanderbilt Stadium - Nashville, Tenn.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. ---- Georgia’s defense and special teams put on a show in week two as both units scored touchdowns in the Bulldogs’ 3114 win over Vanderbilt in the team’s first SEC game of the year.

Sophomore Isaiah McKenzie took a punt a career-best 77 yards to the house in the first quarter to get the scoring started, his third career punt return for a touchdown. Dominick Sanders intercepted a pass from Vanderbilt’s Johnny McCrary late in the fourth quarter and returned it 88 yards, sealing a Georgia victory and producing the final score of 31-14 in the first conference battle for each team. Sanders’ pick was one of three that the ballhawking Bulldogs pulled in on the day.

The defense, which surrendered only 105 rushing yards on 39 attempts and held Vanderbilt to 7-of-21 on third down, did not allow Vanderbilt to score a touchdown until late in the fourth quarter. Senior linebacker Jordan Jenkins turned in a dominant performance individually, totaling a careerhigh 11 tackles with 5.5 behind the line of scrimmage. Jenkins also got after the quarterback with a team-best five QB hurries.

Fittingly, it was the defense that finished off the game with Sanders’ pick-six, as Vanderbilt had the ball deep in Georgia territory and trailed by 10 at the time.

The running game was also strong as Georgia ran up 281 yards on the ground against the Commodores and averaged more than 6 yards per carry in the contest. Sophomore backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel combined for 245 yards on 31 carries, an average of 8 yards per carry. Chubb, who totaled 189 yards on 19 carries (9.9 ypc average) burst for a 68-yard gain on his second carry of the contest and Michel boasted a long of 31 yards in the game, a carry he took into the end zone to put the Bulldogs ahead 14-3 in the second quarter.

The passing game overcame a slow start to produce 141 yards on 25 attempts. Greyson Lambert finished the day 11-for-21 with 116 yards and rushed for a touchdown. For the second straight game, Brice Ramsey took a first-half series and went 2-for-4 for 25 yards through the air. The quarterbacks only took one sack as the offensive line had yet another strong showing.

He is the active leader in the SEC with 18 sacks and 35.5 career tackles for loss. With his performance, Jenkins moved to No. 5 on Georgia’s all-time list for TFLs. • Sophomore Isaiah McKenzie had his first punt return for touchdown of the year, third in his career. It was a career-best 77 yards.

• Through two games, Georgia has tallied 17 points off four opponent turnovers, including 10 against Vanderbilt on three takeaways. UGA has yet to turn the ball over.

• Nick Chubb extended his 100-yard rushing streak to 10 games, only one behind the national leader (Toledo’s Kareem Hunt, 11).

• Redshirt sophomore OLB Davin Bellamy and freshman TE Jackson Harris each earned their first career start in the contest.

Isaiah McKenzie’s first-quarter punt return TD was the third of his young career.

Coach Mark Richt said…

“I felt like there were enough good things on offense, defense and special teams that we deserved to win. When bad things happen, we certainly could’ve lost it. To get out of a game like this with a victory and still be able to learn from it is going to be very valuable to us, and that’ll be our goal.”

2015 game summaries #7 Georgia 52, South Carolina 20 Sept. 19, 2015 • Sanford Stadium - Athens

2016 Info Players Coaches 2015 Review History

ATHENS ---- Georgia’s offense shined behind a historic night from quarterback Greyson Lambert in its 52-20 victory over rival South Carolina in front of a sellout crowd of 92,746 at Sanford Stadium and an ESPN national television audience.

The Bulldogs scored on their first six drives led by Lambert, who finished the contest going 24-for-25 through the air with 330-yards and three touchdowns. Sophomore running back Nick Chubb finished the game with 159 yards and two touchdowns, marking the 11th straight game that he finished a game with 100 yards or more rushing.

Georgia’s defense forced South Carolina’s offense off the field quickly on the first drive giving its offense the ball on the 12-yard line after a Gamecock punt. The Georgia offense drove the majority of the field before settling for a field goal and putting the first points of the game on the board.

South Carolina answered with a field goal of its own, but the ensuing Bulldog drive would prove to be the tale of the game as the Georgia offense drove the ball at will, going 85 yards in nine plays in 3:35. The drive was highlighted by a 20-yard toss from Lambert to tight end Jay Rome to the two-yard line. Chubb finished off the drive, putting Georgia up 10-3.

The majority of the first half was all Bulldogs, highlighted by a 21yard touchdown run by Michel to put the Bulldogs up 17-3, and a fiveyard touchdown reception from Mitchell. Mitchell’s touchdown came after Georgia flawlessly executed the two-minute drill by going 78 yards in 1:53 to score a touchdown with 17 seconds remaining in the half.

The Bulldogs picked up right where they left off to start the secondhalf, scoring touchdowns on their next three drives. The first two came on 11-yard touchdown receptions by Michel. The final score of the third quarter was a seven-yard touchdown run by Chubb.

South Carolina scored first in the fourth quarter with a seven-yard touchdown run by back-up quarterback Lorenzo Nunez. Georgia answered the Gamecocks’ score with a nine-play, 83-yard, 5:18 drive, capped off by a three yard Keith Marshall touchdown run.

Coach Mark Richt said…

“It was a great victory, no doubt. Anytime you win, it’s a great thing. And to win in the East is super. So many years we’ve started out in a hole in the East hoping somebody would relent to give us an opportunity. We’ll enjoy this one for awhile, but we’ll get our hats back on straight and know that we have another opportunity next week to improve.”

#7 Georgia 48, Southern 6

Sept. 26, 2015 • Sanford Stadium - Athens ATHENS ---- Head coach Mark Richt had a historic day with Georgia’s 48-6 drubbing of Southern, achieving his 140th career win to tie him with Wallace Butts for second all-time at Georgia. Richt now trails only Vince Dooley and his 201 wins in the UGA record books.

Sophomore tailback Nick Chubb continued his historic streak as well, tallying his 12th consecutive 100-yard rushing game. Chubb finished with 131 yards on 15 carries and two touchdowns on the ground against an overmatched Southern team as Georgia improved to 4-0 on the season.

Chubb was part of a dominant rushing attack in the contest against the FCS Jaguars squad, as the running backs combined for 272 yards on 30 carries for better than 9 yards per carry on average as well as four touchdowns.

The Bulldogs also beat Southern through the air, with Greyson Lambert claiming another efficient performance going 9-for-10 for 146 yards and two touchdowns. Brice Ramsey also saw significant reps in the game, finishing 11-for-14 for 125 yards with a long pass of 30 yards.

Georgia never trailed in the game, jumping out to a 17-0 lead at the end of the first quarter after touchdowns from Chubb on a 24-yard catch from Lambert and a Sony Michel seven-yard run added to a season-long 47-yard field goal from Marshall Morgan. Morgan added one more field goal before the recess, and the Bulldogs led 20-6 at halftime.

With a renewed fire after taking the field once more, Georgia ran up 28 points against the Jaguars in the third quarter. Two of those scores came courtesy of two Chubb runs of nine yards and 49 yards, sandwiched around a 23-yard touchdown catch and run by Malcolm Mitchell. Michel punctuated the scoring with a 58-yard run in which he shrugged off several Southern defenders on his way to the end zone, producing the final score of 48-6.

The Bulldogs’ defense flexed its muscle in the second half, stifling a Southern offense that entered the game averaging better than 38 points per game. Despite possessing the ball for 35:35, Southern managed only 184 yards of offense and 10 first downs. They averaged 3.3 yards per pass and 3 yards per carry after being unable to solve Georgia’s defensive unit.

Most impressively, Georgia came out of the locker room with a fire when Southern had the ball. The Jaguars achieved only 34 yards and three first downs in the second half, one in the final quarter, and were held to a mere 79 yards passing.

• With freshman DE Michael Barnett seeing the field against Southern, UGA pushed its true-freshman total to 22 players achieving playing time. This number is tops in the nation.

Coach Mark Richt said…

Georgia defenders swarm to tackle Southern tailback Malcom Crockett in the second quarter.

“Everybody works hard and wants the opportunity to play. When you get a chance to play a lot of guys, it’s good for morale and it’s good for experience.

I’m glad we got the game in position to do that. It’ll be fun watching the tape.”

2016 Info Players Coaches 2015 Review History

ATHENS ---- Sophomore tailback Nick Chubb extended his 100-yard rushing streak to 13 games, tying Georgia great Herschel Walker, but the Bulldogs were unable to get much going offensively and lost to the Alabama Crimson Tide by a 38-10 tally.

Aside from Chubb’s long run of 83 yards, a touchdown run that pushed him over the 100-yard plateau, the Bulldogs mustered only 216 yards, with 110 coming on the ground.

The stifling Alabama defense grounded Georgia’s passing game, including quarterback Greyson Lambert, who entered the game with 33 completions in his previous 35 attempts. Lambert and sophomore Brice Ramsey combined to go 11-for-30 with three interceptions and 106 yards passing.

The two heavyweight programs exchanged blows early on with rigid defense, as the score went 3-3 into the middle portion of the second quarter.

Over the span of five minutes, starting at 8:26 remaining in the half, the Crimson Tide scored three touchdowns to put the game out of reach. The first came courtesy of a 30-yard run by Derrick Henry, and the next two scores came exactly a minute apart with a blocked punt for a touchdown and a 45yard pass from Jake Coker to Calvin Ridley to go up 24-3 before the half.

An interception return for a touchdown on Georgia’s first possession of the second half gave the visitors a 31-3 lead. The Tide added on with a Coker touchdown run to go up 38-3 in the third. Chubb’s 83-yard run with just five seconds remaining in the third quarter produced the final score of 38-10.

Despite the score, Georgia’s defense did have a strong showing, holding Alabama well below its season averages in both passing and rushing. Additionally, coach Jeremy Pruitt’s unit forced two turnovers and held the Crimson Tide to just one third-down conversion in 12 attempts as well as 0-for-2 on fourth down. The defense also forced Alabama into eight three-and-outs on the day.

Chubb’s long run was a bright spot for the Bulldogs, who entered the game undefeated. In addition to the sophomore’s scoring burst, his classmate Sony Michel proved effective on the ground with 54 yards on just nine carries.

• Sophomore tailback Nick Chubb matched Herschel Walker’s school record mark of 13 consecutive games with at least 100 yards rushing after going for 146 yards on 20 carries and a touchdown. Chubb is only the 16th player to have at least 100 yards against Alabama’s defense since 2005.

• Senior PK Marshall Morgan connected on a 27-yard field goal early in the second quarter to tie the score at 3-3. Morgan has scored the third-most points in Georgia history (354) and is 5-for-7 on field goals this season and 51-for66 in his career. Coming into Saturday, Morgan was fourth among active players in the NCAA for total points. With his PAT after Chubb’s run, Morgan set a SEC record with 202 straight successful extra-points.

• Alabama was the first opponent to score off a Georgia turnover this season.

The Bulldogs have 24 points off of seven opponent turnovers, while opponents have seven points off seven Bulldog giveaways.

Coach Mark Richt said…

Nick Chubb gained 146 yards against Alabama, marking his 13th straight game over the 100-yard mark and matching a school record first established by Herschel Walker.

Tennessee 38, #19 Georgia 31

Oct. 10, 2015 • Neyland Stadium - Knoxville, Tenn.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. ---- Georgia jumped out to a 24-3 lead, but Tennessee outscored the Bulldogs 35-7 from there to take a 38-31 win in front of a sold out Neyland Stadium crowd of 102,455 and a CBS national television audience.

Georgia lost sophomore tailback Nick Chubb early in the contest to a knee injury on the first play from scrimmage.

The Bulldogs scored the first of two non-offensive touchdowns, with Leonard Floyd scooping up a fumble and returning it 96 yards for a touchdown for a 7-0 lead. The Vols ate up close to five minutes off the clock on their next possession to add a 22-yard field goal and put the score at 7-3 at the end of the first quarter.

On Georgia’s first offensive possession of the second quarter, the Bulldogs scored in just five plays, capped off by a Greyson Lambert to Mitchell 28-yard TD completion with 14:53 to go until halftime. The UGA scoring surge continued in the second quarter as Marshall Morgan added a 37-yard field goal, which was followed by Reggie Davis’ 70-yard punt return for a TD to put the Bulldogs up, 24-3.

Tennessee then reeled off two touchdowns in the matter of 37 seconds to climb back in the game and cut UGA’s halftime lead to 24-17.

After the teams traded possessions to begin the second half, the Vols struck first in the third quarter as quarterback Joshua Dobbs capped off a 6-play, 67-yard drive with a 1-yard TD run to tie the game.

The two teams then traded touchdowns to even the score at 31-31, before Dobbs’ 5-yard TD run with 5:48 remaining proved to be the game winner in Tennessee’s 38-31 victory. Georgia mounted a rally late, with a final drive ending deep in Tennessee territory.

“I was just proud of their effort. I think Reggie (Davis) played his best game.

He was on kickoff return, punt return. When we were on punt he was covering kicks and then he’s playing offense just about every snap. He was playing his tail off. His shoulder got knocked down a little bit, he was kind of debating whether he could keep going, he sucked it up and kept going. I am really proud of the effort he gave throughout.”

2015 game summaries Georgia 9, Missouri 6

Oct. 17, 2015 • Sanford Stadium - Athens

2016 Info Players Coaches 2015 Review History

ATHENS ---- In a defensive battle, the Georgia Bulldogs emerged victorious on homecoming with a 9-6 win over the Missouri Tigers before a sellout crowd of 92,746 at Sanford Stadium.

Late special teams play helped Georgia edge Missouri, as a forced fumble on a punt late in the third quarter set up the tying field goal to bring Georgia back even at 6-6. The winning drive, which was capped with just more than a minute remaining, was set up by a punt return by freshman Terry Godwin that put Georgia in terrific field position. With 1:44 remaining, and after a seven-play, 33-yard drive, senior placekicker Marshall Morgan hit his third field goal of the night to give Georgia the decisive 9-6 lead.

The stingy defensive effort for Georgia was indeed a historic feat, as the Bulldogs were able to win their first game without scoring a touchdown since 1995. Georgia held Missouri and preseason All-SEC running back Russell Hansbrough to just 21 yards on 22 rushing attempts. The Tigers had -1 yards on the ground going into halftime.

The defense set the tone early with a goal line stand on Missouri’s first possession of the game which started at the 1-yard line after an interception

by Ian Simon was almost taken in for a score. Senior wideout Kenneth Towns made the stop before the goal line, and the defense took it from there with two negative plays on the following possession.

Led by Jake Ganus and his nine tackles on the day, Georgia surrendered only six first downs to Missouri. Three of those came on one drive. The secondary also held Mizzou in check by frustrating true freshman Drew Lock, who started his first career road contest, and held him to just 11 of 26 passing for 143 yards along with four sacks.

Despite the low score, Georgia’s offense did have a productive day against a salty Missouri defense that entered the game in the top 10 in scoring and rushing allowed. Sony Michel led the way for the running backs with 87 yards, and the unit as a whole totaled 120 against a tough Missouri frontseven. Quarterback Greyson Lambert also shook off his early pick, finishing an efficient 23 of 32. He added 178 yards through the air, 49 of which came via Mitchell and his seven receptions. Godwin set a new career high with six receptions for 78 yards on the day.

The offense also showed progress in previous problem areas with nearly 39 minutes of possession time and a 9-of-19 performance on third downs.

#11 Florida 27, Georgia 3

Oct. 31, 2015 • EverBank Field - Jacksonville, Fla. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. ---- Georgia’s offense was unable to find paydirt for the second consecutive game, and the Bulldogs (5-3, 3-3) fell victim to five turnovers as they dropped a SEC East divisional contest to Florida by a 27-3 tally at EverBank Field in Jacksonville.

Junior Faton Bauta made his first career start, throwing for 154 yards on 15 completions but was picked off four times by a stout Gator secondary.

Terry Godwin and Malcolm Mitchell each had four receptions in the contest, with Godwin totaling 42 yards and Mitchell boasting 60. The running game never quite found its legs, though, as Georgia was held to 69 yards on 22 carries.

Florida claimed control of the game early, jumping on top 20-0 before the intermission. They were first on the board as a muffed punt at the 5-yard line by Reggie Davis was recovered by the Gator unit in the end zone late in the first quarter. After extending their lead to 13-0 on a 66-yard pass from Treon Harris to Antonio Callaway, the Gators punched in their third touchdown with a short run at the goal line, set up by an interception by Vernon Hargreaves III returned to the Georgia 5.

The defense held Florida off the board for much of the second half, allowing a touchdown at the 7:10 mark of the game’s final quarter. The final scoring drive came after the Bulldog offense appeared to gain some steam, marching into Florida’s red zone before an interception kept Georgia from scoring.

Georgia’s lone scoring drive came after a forced fumble by Davin Bellamy who had a strong game on the defensive side of the ball with a team-high seven tackles. Six plays later, Marshall Morgan split the uprights from 27 yards out to trim the deficit to 20-3.

Sophomore Brice Ramsey received his first starting nod at punter for the Bulldogs and performed well, averaging 43.4 yards per punt on five kicks.

Ramsey had one punt on the year coming into the game.

• Freshman DB Juwuan Briscoe and redshirt sophomore TE Aulden Bynum both made their first starts, lifting Georgia’s first-time starter count to 17 for the season.

• Brice Ramsey handled punting duties for UGA, posting a 43.4-yard average on five punts. His first went for a career-best 50 yards.

Coach Mark Richt said…

Davin Bellamy led the Bulldogs on defense with seven total tackles against Florida.

“We played hard, but we have to be more productive, obviously. Offensively, we have to get first downs and we have to get points on the board. We struggled in that area. We couldn’t get much running the ball, and there were some batted balls. A lot of times those things fall incomplete, but tonight they landed in (Florida’s) hands.”

Nov. 7, 2015 • Sanford Stadium - Athens, Ga.

2016 Info Players Coaches 2015 Review History

ATHENS ---- An all-around team performance from the Georgia Bulldogs led to their 27-3 defeat of the Kentucky Wildcats at Sanford Stadium.

The Bulldogs (6-3, 4-3) were outstanding defensively for all 60 minutes, especially in the first-half, when Georgia held Kentucky (4-5, 2-5) to just 99 total yards and forced two turnovers. Georgia came out with the same intensity for the remaining 30 minutes, holding Kentucky to just 81 yards. Overall, the Wildcats were held to just 180 yards for the game. Defensive back Dominick Sanders recorded two interceptions on the contest.

The Bulldogs did most of their damage offensively on the ground, led

by Sony Michel with 165 yards rushing and one touchdown. Terry Godwin chipped in 26 yards along with a touchdown of his own. Greyson Lambert and Brice Ramsey combined to go 10 for 19 with 90 yards and a touchdown.

The Bulldogs were first to strike, putting six on the board after Terry Godwin took a direct snap 28-yards for a touchdown. Georgia tacked on three more points to its lead late in the first-quarter with a 22-yard field goal from Marshall Morgan. The score was set up by a muffed punt by the Wildcats at the 25-yard line that was recovered by deep snapper Nathan Theus.

Kentucky put its first points on the board with 1:12 left on the clock in the second quarter drilling a 32-yard field goal. Georgia drove the length of the field on the ensuing drive, but was unable to convert a field goal attempt as time expired.

To begin the second-half Georgia stuffed Kentucky’s fourth down attempt near midfield handing the offense good field position for the Bulldogs first drive of the half. The Bulldogs marched their way down the field for 53-yards, capping the drive off with a one-yard Sony Michel touchdown run.

Michel broke off a 46-yard run midway through the third quarter to set the Bulldogs up for their third touchdown on the afternoon. Lambert hit running back Keith Marshall on a screen pass for a 10-yard touchdown to put the Bulldogs up 24-3.

Following Dominick Sanders’ second interception on the game, the Bulldogs were able to score three points on a 28-yard field goal from Morgan.

Georgia Football

“It was a good day, a good solid victory. It was the last (conference) home game for the seniors and it meant a lot to them to finish with style. The underclassmen played their tails off for those guys. That was a motivating factor and they did a good job of that. Overall, the coaches and the players did a wonderful job of focusing on what’s important.”

Georgia 20, Auburn 13

Nov. 14, 2015 • Jordan-Hare Stadium - Auburn, Ala.

AUBURN, Ala. -- A strong second-half from Georgia (7-3, 5-3) pushed the Bulldogs past the Auburn Tigers (5-5, 2-5), 20-13, in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry to mark the 119th meeting between the two storied programs.

Heading into the game the two schools had perfectly split the previous 118 games 55-55-8 since the first meeting on February 20, 1892. UGA now leads the all-time series record 56-55-8. The lead in the series is the first for the Dawgs since 1986.

After trailing 10-3 at halftime, Georgia scored 17 unanswered points in the second-half highlighted by a 53-yard punt return for a touchdown with 9:28 left in the fourth quarter by Isaiah McKenzie to put the Bulldogs ahead 17-10. The ensuing possession Georgia’s defense forced a fumble deep in Auburn territory, leading to a 38-yard Marshall Morgan field goal extending the score 20-10 with 6:49 remaining in the game.

Georgia’s defense put the final stamp on the game by forcing a fumble on the one-yard line on the Tigers second-to-last possession. Auburn hit a late field goal, but Georgia was able to recover the onside kick and run out the remaining time.

The Bulldogs were led on the ground with 77 yards from running back Sony Michel. Quarterback Greyson Lambert finished 12 for 17 through the air with 97 yards. Georgia’s defense stuffed the Tigers all afternoon holding them to just 62-yards passing and 275-yards overall.

The Tigers were first on the scoreboard, punching in a seven-yard touchdown run just over four minutes into the game. An interception by UGA’s Malcolm Parrish on the 40-yard line led to Georgia’s first points of the game, a 40-yard field goal from Marshall Morgan.

Auburn’s Daniel Carlson hit a 53--yard field goal right before halftime to give the Tigers a 10-0 lead heading into the locker rooms. A slow start offensively and missed opportunities in the red zone limited the Bulldogs’ scoring chances early.

The Bulldogs tied things up at 10-10 with a four-yard touchdown on a sweep to Isaiah McKenzie. The drive was kept alive on a critical personal foul facemask call against Auburn on a third and short.

Isaiah McKenzie is hoisted aloft

by QB Greyson Lambert after he made the game’s pivotal play, a 53yard punt return for a touchdown that gave the Bulldogs a 17-10 lead with 9:28 left. It was McKenzie’s second TD of the game.

• With the win, Georgia reclaimed the series lead in the “Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry” for the first time since 1986. The series is now 56-55-8 in UGA’s favor.

Under Coach Mark Richt, UGA improved to 48-16 in road games.

• Sophomore Isaiah McKenzie tied a pair of schools records with his punt-return TD. He is now equal to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Brandon Boykin (2008-11) with four punt return TDs and a kickoff return TD in his career. His four punt return TDs ties him with Buzy Rosenberg (1970-72). McKenzie’s score was the first punt return for a TD given up by Auburn in 10 years (Skyler Green, LSU, 2005).

• Georgia’s first half scoring came from a 40-yard field goal from Marshall Morgan. He also added a 38-yarder in the second half. He’s now 60-for-78 in his career. With two PATs added in, Morgan now has 391 career points, third in SEC history as he passed Alabama’s Leigh Tiffin (kicker) who had 385 from 2006-09. The only two players ahead of Morgan now are both former Bulldogs: Blair Walsh (412 from 2008-11) and Billy Bennett (409 points from 2000-03).

Coach Mark Richt said…

“That was a great victory for Georgia, a lot of fun afterwards in the locker room.

Got a chance to celebrate with the coaches and the players, saw a smile on everybody’s face. It’s always a war to come here and play, it’s always a battle. It went about the way we thought. I’m just really proud of how everybody played.

Everybody stepped up at one point or another.”

Georgia 23, Georgia Southern 17 (OT) Nov. 21, 2015 • Sanford Stadium - Athens, Ga.

2016 Info Players Coaches 2015 Review History

ATHENS -- Sophomore running back Sony Michel ran untouched for a 25-yard touchdown on Georgia’s first play of overtime to give UGA (83,5-1) a 23-17 victory over Georgia Southern (7-3, 5-1) in Sanford Stadium on Saturday night.

Symbolic to the night, it was several seniors who stepped up big when it mattered. Senior linebackers Jake Ganus and Jordan Jenkins both made crucial stops in the overtime period to keep the Eagles from scoring.

Michel rambled his way to 132 total yards on the ground on 23 carries along with one touchdown. Quarterback Greyson Lambert finished 16 of 25 through the air with 183 yards and one touchdown. Senior wide receiver Malcolm Mitchel hauled in five catches for 73 yards to lead the UGA receiving unit. The Bulldogs held the Eagles to just 277 total yards on the game.

Georgia scored on its first drive of the game when wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie took an end around 23 yards into the end zone to put the Bulldogs up 7-0 just under four minutes into the game.

Neither team was able to find its groove offensively for over a quarter until Georgia Southern found its way onto the scoreboard via a one-yard plunge from running back L. A. Ramsby.

The Eagles seized momentum early in the third quarter when Caleb Williams raced 62 yards with recovered fumble for a touchdown. After an exchange of punts, the Bulldogs caught a much-needed break when Kenneth Towns pounced on a muffed punt at the Southern 29. Six plays later, Lambert found Terry Godwin in the front corner of the end zone for a 12yard TD pass that knotted the score with 1:23 left in the third period.

Both squads kicked fourth-quarter field goals and were content to play an overtime period. Stout defensive plays by Leonard Floyd on first and second downs and, on fourth down, by Jordan Jenkins left Southern with an empty possession in overtime. The Georgia offense then decided the game on its first play, when Sony Michel sprinted through the line untouched for a 25-yard touchdown run.

Georgia 13, Georgia Tech 7

Nov. 28, 2015 • Bobby Dodd Stadium - Atlanta, Ga.

ATLANTA -- Georgia’s defense shut down the Yellow Jackets’ triple-option offense for most of the game, limiting the home squad to seven points and 276 yards en route to a 13-7 win at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

Offensively, Sony Michel finished with 149 yards on 24 carries, leading the Bulldogs to their 13th win over their in-state rival in the past 15 tries. Greyson Lambert finished the game 18-of-25 passing for 224 yards.

The Dawgs put together an eight-play, 75-yard scoring drive to start the game, punctuated by a Michel 34-yard scamper on 4th and 2. The story for Georgia then shifted to its defense, which came up big on back-to-back drives. James DeLoach first broke through for a tackle for loss on 4th-andshort for Tech on the Georgia side of the 50. On the Jackets’ next possession, Dominick Sanders hauled in an interception at the goal line to keep the Jackets off the board.

It was more of the same to open the third quarter, when the Bulldogs forced a fumble as Tech entered UGA territory, and DeLoach came up with the ball to take over. The offense, sparked by a 22-yard screen pass to Michel, marched down the field and cashed in with a 19-yard field goal to build on the lead to 10-0.

Marshall Morgan’s 37-yard kick 50 seconds into the final quarter put Georgia ahead 13-0. Tech avoided a shutout by scoring its only points on a touchdown pass with just 3:24 left. The Bulldogs responded with a pair of first downs on offense before turning possession over to Tech with 17 seconds left. That was enough time only for two passes, the second of which was intercepted by Malkom Parrish on the game’s final play.

Jan. 2, 2016 • Everbank Field - Jacksonville, Fla.

2016 Info Players Coaches 2015 Review History

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- After jumping ahead 24-3 in the third quarter, Georgia was able to hold on and beat Penn State (7-6) by a final score of 24-17 in the TaxSlayer Bowl at Jacksonville’s EverBank Field.

Freshman wideout Terry Godwin became the first non-quarterback to throw for a score for Georgia since 2005, and the first Bulldog wideout to throw for a score since 1998, when he hit senior Malcolm Mitchell in stride for a 44-yard strike for the first touchdown of the game. Later in the first half, he pulled in a 17-yard touchdown from Greyson Lambert.

On the offensive side, Mitchell capped off a strong career with five receptions for 114 yards and a score. Tailback Sony Michel also had a strong game to end his sophomore season, amassing 85 yards rushing and flaunting a 21-yard scamper for a score in the third quarter.

The Bulldog defense dominated in the first half, holding Penn State to just 182 yards of offense and 39 yards rushing in the opening 30 minutes while forcing an interception on the game’s first possession. The turnover from Christian Hackenberg was the sixth pick of the season for safety Dominick Sanders.

Offensively, Georgia was sparked by Godwin’s play, which included a 44-yard strike to Mitchell early in the second quarter and a 17-yard grab for a touchdown later to expand the Bulldogs’ lead to 17-3 before the intermission.

After the break, Michel’s 21-yard sprint late in the third quarter extended the lead, just one drive after Georgia took over deep in Penn State territory but squandered the scoring opportunity.

The Nittany Lions broke through for a touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter with backup quarterback Trace McSorley connecting with Geno Lewis for a 17-yard score to trim Georgia’s advantage to 14 points. Two drives later, McSorley hit DaeSean Hamilton for a score down the seam for 20 yards to make the score 24-17.

The Bulldogs got the ball back with 6:07 remaining in the contest, and behind a methodical drive and several strong runs by senior back Keith Marshall, were able to run the clock down to under 90 seconds. The defensive unit finished the game on the field, knocking down a 43-yard Hail Mary heave on the final play that could have tied the game.

Worth Noting…

Georgia made its 51st all-time appearance in a bowl game today (19th straight) and that ranks tied for fourth nationally behind Alabama (61), Texas (53) and Nebraska (52). Georgia improved to 29-19-3 in bowl games; the 29 wins ranks third nationally. Georgia is now 3-1-1 in bowl games in Jacksonville and 44-401 in the city. * The Bulldogs capped a 10-win season with today’s victory to finish 10-3. It marked the 22nd time in school history that Georgia has won at least 10 games in a year, and the seniors ended their career 40-13. Also interim head coach Bryan McClendon is now 1-0. Also, assistant coach/tight ends John Lilly served as the offensive coordinator for the second straight bowl, both Georgia victories. * Freshman wideout Terry Godwin completed a 44-yard TD pass to senior Malcolm Mitchell for a 10-3 edge. He became the first non-QB to throw a TD pass for the Bulldogs since running back Thomas Brown tossed a nine-yard strike to Joe Tereshinski (QB) versus Florida in 2005 here in Jacksonville at EverBank Field (Alltell Stadium). Godwin is the first Bulldog wideout to throw a TD pass since 1998 when Michael Greer hurled a 68-yard strike to tight end Larry Brown versus Ga. Tech in Athens.

Coach Bryan McClendon said…

Terry Godwin capped his freshman season by taking home MVP honors at the TaxSlayer Bowl. He caught four passes, including this one for a touchdown, and also threw a 44-yard TD strike to Malcolm Mitchell.

Football, I believe, was made to understand that people need to work hard, work together and put other individuals above themselves. And that’s what these guys did.

UGA's mascot tradition

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.

2016 Info Players Coaches 2015 Review History History

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

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.

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 Uga I with Hannah Jones 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

He led Georgia to six bowl games in nine years and closed out his career in ultimate fashion winning the 1980 NCAA championship.

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 theUga IV with banquet hall by the president of the Marty Argo Down­town Athletic Club, and was earlier photographed with Herschel by photographers from across the country.

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

2016 Info Players Coaches 2015 Review History History

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. 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

Uga VI

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 2008 Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

The pregame passing of the bone ceremony from Uga V to his heftier and friskier son, Whatchagot Loran, took place at the 1999 Georgia-South Carolina contest. Only a year old at his coronation, Uga VI stood 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 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 run in two decades during the 2002-05 seasons. That stretch included 44 wins, a pair of SEC titles and appearances in the Sugar, Capital One and Outback Bowls.

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

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. epitaph: Gone Too Soon

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 carried 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 longtime 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.

Uga IX, 2012-Present (Russ, 2009-2012: 16-9) Record: 44-19 “Uga IX, formerly “Russ,” the halfbrother of Uga VII, served as interim Bulldog mascot for a total of 25 games.

He worked nine games during the 2009 and 2010 seasons after Uga VII and VIII passed away. He roamed the sidelines at all 14 games during the 2011 season. He then served for two wins at the beginUGA IX ning of the 2012 season before being promoted as Uga IX prior to the Florida Atlantic game on Sept. 15, 2012. His time as mascot included the 2011 and 2012 SEC Eastern Division championships, three road wins at Georgia Tech, a victory over Texas A&M in the 2009 Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., and a win over Nebraska in the 2013 Capital One Bowl. He was the first substitute mascot since “Otto” in 1986.

Uga X, 2015-Present “Que” Record: 10-3 Uga IX officially retired as the Bulldogs’ mascot at the end of the 2014 season. After a three-month “audition” in that role, his grandson “Que” was formally crowned as his successor in a collaring ceremony prior to the GeorgiaGeorgia Southern game on Nov. 21, 2015. Que assumed the title of Uga X at the age of 2 1/2 years. During his audition, he made appearances at the Countdown to Kickoff event in July 2015, as well as Picture Day in August, before presiding over the entirety of the 2015 football season. Que capped his inaugural season by leading the team to a 24-17 victory over Penn State at the 2016 Taxslayer Bowl.

“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.
