And y’all are doing the stupid black-jersey crap for Alabama? Lovely. And on the polls, everything I saw was giving Georgia big props for dominating ASU – probably a little shine off of that with their UNLV loss, but I think some doubters have been silenced for now.

Yes, the penalties hurt the Dawgs a lot, keeping alive a couple of Sun Devil drives that other wise would have died. There were also a couple of ref blown calls (calling a “chop block” penalty on a Georgia player that was sitting on the ground as the Sun Devil player that he supposedly blocked jumped over his legs, for instance), but those will happen in every game. I could have easily been 38-10 but Richt let time expire at the end of the game rather than run another play from inside the 5. ASU has a potent passing game, but they couldn’t get the run established. That’s not new for them this season however, the Bulldog pregame announcers said that prior to Saturday’s game ASU was split evenly 95 running and passing plays each but the overwhelming majority of the gained yardage was on the passing plays.

I’m of the opinion that if we keep winning games the polls will sort themselves out but I really wanted a decisive, shut-the-door-on-the-naysayers game. I think the passing defense still needs work but I was mostly happy with the Dawgs performance. Now on to the blackout against Bama in Athens!
