sticking it to steve

The future finally arrived tonight for the DawgNation.  A long awaited match-up between the Dawgs and the Chickens in Columbia proved to be the petri dish by which Matthew Stafford officially became a living, breathing college football quarterback.  Up until tonight, he had been a phantom, a myth – with just a wisp of an appearance against Western Kentucky.

But lo – and behold – Joe T (who gets no love from the Georgia faithful) went down in the first quarter with an ankle injury, never to return.

Stafford threw some lasers – like bb’s from a pellet gun threading the defense like a needle.

He also threw three interceptions.  But all in all, he was afforded time to learn and grow as a QB because the Defense was stout and unrelenting.

The Dawgs beat the Chickens 18 to zero.  Zippo.  Zilch.   Nada.

Yes, Steve Spurrier was shut out – can we say that again, zippo, zilch, zero, nada – for the first time in 19 years (when he was coach at Duke).

Stick that in your visor, Stevie boy.

  1. I’m with you. I watched the entire game and think The Kid is the real deal. I am also intrigued by Joe T’s “injury.” For those who saw the replay, it appeared that he threw the ball, stepped forward untouched, and is now out for the year. I wonder how long until the words “set up” are bandied about in the Dawg Nation. Joe T got his second start, he wansn’t benched or replaced due to ineffectiveness, just hurt and done. It sure saves face and get’s The Kid in a lot quicker.
