With the football back on the 40, sophomore Casey Young went under center. His big play came from his own feet and a crushing upfield block from Revis. The block allowed the quar terback, going towards the home sidelines, to cut back inside and give Westfield a total gain of 32 yards. Zach Young again cleaned up the series taking a mis direction play for a two-yard score. Jones hasn’t announced which quarterback will be the starter, but said Thursday both will see playing time in the season opener on Sept. 1 at John Milledge. The coach is also excited not only about the height Murph brings to the receiv ing corp, but said the Hornets have more team speed in the flanks than in the past sev eral years. The scrimmage ended with Jarrod Taylor intercepting a pass in the end zone. TIME IS [ RUNNING OUT!! HURRY BEFORE THE DEALS ARE ..GONE! ,j 2006 JEEP COMMANDER mat ONLY 39 mm.

BROWN From page iB to, or it’s going to be a short column. I was alluding earlier about the 2004 season when Georgia lost to Tennessee. If you remember, that was one week after the Bulldogs beat LSU, defending co national champions. Those two weeks exposed to me a big problem that fans, and maybe even the players and coaches them selves, all get wrapped up in prior to a season. All spring and summer long, the 2004 season for the Red & Black was all about getting back at LSU. The year before, the Tigers beat us on the last drive down in Baton Rouge, then really made a no-contest out of the rematch in the Southeastern Conference championship game. It made some folks won der when was the last time Georgia lost to the same team twice in one season. How about the last time Georgia merely played the same team twice in one year? You would have to go back to the days of leather helmets to find that answer (try 1895, North Carolina, lost both). Even I got so caught up in the get-back-at-LSU spirit that I said the school would have to change the spell ing to LUS (pronounced lose) because that’s what would happen to them in Athens. Arid we beat them, big time. So much so there had to be a hangover feeling CLEATS ( AWESOME GET, JACK \] gjggp 2007 JEEP LIBERTY wit <248/-, 39 m.

Georgia did beat Florida that year, but things just weren’t normal down in Gainesville. Ron Zook was given his bad news earlier in the week, and whipping up on the Gators didn’t seem quite as fun towards the end. Almost felt sorry for the (can’t use that word). Almost felt like playing Florida Atlantic. This year, as defending league champions, it’s a clean slate as far as I’m concerned. And I don’t see or hear of any of my breth ren in the Bulldog Nation singling out one game as the be-all, end-all of the season. We’re more interested in the quarterback jumble. I like the running potential if there are some holes and space to run through. There is one key receiver, Sean Bailey, out for the season, so that area will need some help. I have some schedule cards that feature two top defensive guys, Tony Taylor and Quinten Moses. There’s another one out there that showcases the kickers. I say it again, but punter Gordon Ely-Kelso had to be the MVP of that early winning streak. This is probably the point in the column when most folks are drawn away by the baseball standings or racing news. Good. I can talk about fAEY, JACK--YOU W AOW > tfiGHT AFTER \( AICE TRY.

There are two reasons for me saying this. One, the Yellow Jackets own the weapons to score against what most are call ing a shaky Irish defense. So if the upset does happen, it could be one of those 44- 42 jobs. Two, it’s just something Georgia Tech is liable to do. Think about the hype it would create. GT goes on to win the next two easy games and shoots into the top 10 nationally. Then comes Atlantic Coast Conference play and ... a four-game los ing streak. v I say four games because the slide ends at home against the Miami Hurricanes. The Jackets go on to even the ACC record with three more league wins, and then to cap it all off... yeah, right, not going to happen, not in Athens, not anywhere. I pull all of this out of recent history. In 2003 Auburn was sup posed to be the greatest in all the land, until the Tigers lose to Southern California and Georgia Tech. For the Jackets, all that’s forgotten after a whitewash at the hands of Duke. If all this plays out, I will not gloat of my prognos ticating abilities. I know it will be enough to keep Chan Gailey around and get GT that Charlotte bowl bid they’ve long desired.
