2013 Spring OutlookIn 2012, the Georgia Bulldogs had

one of the most successful runs in school history.

The Bulldogs rolled up 12 victories, joining the 1980 national champions (12-0) and the 2002 SEC champs (13-1) as the only teams to reach that plateau. Georgia also won the SEC Eastern Division title for the second straight year and recorded a victory over Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl.

“We’re excited about this team,” quarterback Aaron Murray said. “We’ve all grown so much the last two seasons and we’ve put Georgia back on the map. It’s been great to be a part of that. And hope-fully we can continue to get better and we can build off a great bowl win.”

Heading into the spring drills that will launch the Bulldogs into the 2013 cam-paign, Coach Mark Richt has an offense laden with veterans and a defense looking to retool after the departure of several players to graduation and/or to the NFL. But he notes that the defensive situation is similar to the start of 2012 when the Bulldogs had question marks on the offensive line, which ultimately developed into a strong suit for the squad.

“We better be ready,” Richt said. “We don’t really have a choice. I have a lot of faith in these guys, but they’ve got to work. They have to prepare right now. They can’t just sit here and wait until camp starts, or even until summer. They have to start now. They need to prepare to be the very best at what they do.”

TheBulldogsalsowillhavearareinfluxoftalentforspringdrills with the addition of 13 early enrollees, many of whom could see time on the defensive side of the ball.

“I think these guys are almost a class to themselves,” Richt said. “It’s a really large number of mid-year guys. I told them just to look out for each other and help each other out.”

With the incorporation of youthful talent on defense and a strong unit of veterans on offense, Richt knows the Bulldogs are capable of remaining as one of the nation’s elite teams in 2013.

“We plan on being that,” Richt said. “We hope to be that, but we’ve got to earn it.”

And that work begins with spring practice.QUARTERBACKSThe Bulldogs got a boost when Aaron Murray (6-1, 210,

Sr.)announcedhewouldreturnforhisfinalseason.Murraywillenter 2013 as a legitimate candidate for All-America honors and Heisman Trophy consideration. Murray already holds the school record for career touchdown passes at 126, and last year he set the UGA marks for single-season passing yards (3,893), total yards (3,825) and touchdown passes (36). Murray was chosen as the MVPofCapitalOneBowlwith427yardsandfivetouchdowns.

Georgia is also blessed to have quality reserves at quarter-back. Hutson Mason (6-3, 196, Jr.) redshirted last season, but he has appeared in eight games in his career, completing 57.4 percent of his passes and throwing three touchdowns. Parker Welch

ACL that sidelined him after he made 24 catches for 345 yards andfourtouchdownsinthefirstfivegameslastyear.Whilehewill be limited in the spring, he will be ready for the start of the regularseason.Georgia’scoacheswillgettheirfirstlookthisspring at Jonathan Rumph (6-5, 215, Jr.), who transferred from Holmes (Miss.) Community College. He caught 45 passes for 569 yards last season. Early enrollee J.J. Green (5-9, 186, Fr.) will go through spring drills as well.

The Bulldogs also return Rhett McGowan (6-0, 190, Sr.), Blake Tibbs (6-2, 175, R.Fr.), Michael Erdman (5-10, 190, Jr.), Clay Johnson (6-1, 170, R.Fr.), Jamal Payette (6-3, 190, So.), Jake Star (6-5, 220, R.Fr.), Kenneth Towns (6-3, 202, R.Fr.) and Curtis Wyatt (6-1, 200, Jr.).

TIGHT ENDSThis position emerged as a real weapon for the Bulldogs

in 2012, and with all the players returning, it should be again in 2013. Arthur Lynch (6-5, 258. Sr.) hauled in 24 passes for 431 yards and three touchdowns, followed by Jay Rome (6-6, 265, So.) with 152 yards and two scores. Ty Flournoy-Smith (6-3, 237, So.) gained valuable experience as a reserve in 2012, and the Bull-dogs also return Drew Wilson (6-2, 205, Sr.), Jared Chapple (6-4, 218, R.Fr.), Jack Loonam (6-0, 216, So.), Greg Mulkey (6-3, 230, So.), Geoff Rapp (6-3, 230, So.), Cole Trolinger (6-5, 230, R.Fr.) and Hugh Williams (6-5, 241, Jr.).

OFFENSIVE LINEMENTheBulldogsreturnallfivestartersandallbutoneletterman

on the line, which paved the way for 467.6 total yards and 37.8 points per game in 2012.

ThestartingfiveofcenterDavidAndrews(6-2,295,Jr.),guards Chris Burnette (6-2, 322, Sr.) and Dallas Lee (6-4, 300, Sr.) and tackles John Theus (6-6, 309, So.) and Kenarious Gates (6-5, 318, Sr.) remains intact. Burnette and Theus will miss spring drills after undergoing offseason surgeries; however, they are expected to be ready for the start of fall camp. Tackles Mark Beard (6-5, 302, Jr.), Watts Dantzler (6-7, 320, Jr.), Austin Long (6-5, 324, Sr.) and Xzavier Ward (6-7, 293, So.) all are back in the fold.

Georgia returns Hunter Long (6-4, 310, Jr.), Greg Pyke (6-6, 327, R.Fr.), Preston Mobley (6-3, 300, So.) and Caleb Drake (6-1, 275, So.) at guard. The tackles include Zach DeBell (6-6, 293, So.) and Eddie McQuillen (6-8, 300, So.). Early enrollees Aulden Bynum (6-5, 270, Fr.) and Josh Cardiello (6-3, 283, Fr.) will work into the rotation during spring.

DEFENSIVE LINEMENNew defensive line coach Chris Wilson inherits a position

hit hard by graduation and early departures, but he still has three lettermen back, including one starter. Garrison Smith (6-3, 297, Sr.) emerged as a force at end last season, posting 57 tackles. Ray Drew (6-5, 284, Jr.) added 23 stops after making a successful tran-sition to end. The Bulldogs also return Sterling Bailey (6-3, 295, So.) and Clint Kirk (6-3, 275, Sr.) at end. Nose Mike Thornton (6-1, 302, Jr.) played in all 14 games a year ago, primarily on special teams. Georgia also brings back John Taylor (6-4, 335, R.Fr.), who made strides during a redshirt year. Early enrollees Chris Mayes (6-4, 315, RSo.) and John Atkins (6-4, 305, Fr.) will par-ticipate in spring drills. Mayes had 17 tackles for Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College in 2011 and redshirted last season.

OUTSIDE LINEBACKERSThe Bulldogs said goodbye to Jarvis Jones, one of the most

decorated players in school history, at the end of last season. Still, Georgia returns a host of players with experience. Jordan Jenkins (6-3, 257, So.) came into his own as a rookie, posting 31 tackles, includingfivesacks,andafumblerecoveryoppositeJones.ChaseVasser(6-3,231,Sr.)had19tacklesinjustfivegamesbeforebe-ing sidelined by an injury. The Bulldogs also return T.J. Stripling (6-6, 235, Sr.), Josh Dawson (6-4, 250, So.), James DeLoach (6-3, 270, So.) and Dillard Pinkston (6-3, 220, R.Fr.). Stripling had a sack among his nine tackles a year ago.

INSIDE LINEBACKERSAmarlo Herrera (6-2, 245, Jr.) is Georgia’s leading return-

ingtacklerwith70(whichrankedfifthin2012).Herreraalsoreturned an interception for a touchdown a year ago. Georgia returns Ramik Wilson (6-2, 224, So.), Kosta Vavlas (6-0, 219, Jr.) and Brandon Burrows (6-3, 248, Jr.) as well as Tommy Long (6-2, 220, R.Fr.), A.J. McDonald (6-0, 230, Jr.) and Matt Stagg (6-3, 225, R.Fr.). Early enrollees Ryne Rankin (6-1, 230, Fr.) and Reg-gie Carter (6-1, 224, Fr.) will participate in spring drills.

DEFENSIVE BACKSThree-fourthsofthestartingbackfieldwaslosttogradua-

tion, leaving cornerback Damian Swann (5-11, 189, Jr.) as the lone returner. Swann paced the Bulldogs with four interceptions, including two in the bowl, and he added 53 tackles. Swann also recovered two fumbles and posted two sacks.

Lettermen returning with Swann at cornerback are Blake Sailors (5-11, 187, Sr.), Sheldon Dawson (5-11, 181, So.) and Devin Bowman (6-0, 180, So.). At safety, the Bulldogs have Con-nor Norman (5-10, 207, Jr.), Josh Harvey-Clemons (6-5, 207, So.), Marc Deas (6-1, 212, Jr.) and Corey Moore (6-2, 214, Jr.) back. Norman, a two-game starter among that group, posted 18 tackles last year, while Harvey-Clemons and Moore each had 14. Georgia also returns Devin Gillespie (5-10, 195, R.Fr.), Lucas Redd (6-1, 209, Jr.), Austin Herod (5-10, 183, Sr.), Jesse Jones (6-0, 190, So.) and Jon Bailey (6-0, 200, Jr.)

Early enrollees Reggie Wilkerson (5-11, 163, Fr.), Quincy Mauger (6-0, 197, Fr.) and Tray Matthews (6-0, 194, Fr.) will get theirfirsttasteofcollegeduringspringdrills.TramelTerry(6-0,190, Fr.) is in Athens too but he will be rehabbing a knee surgery.

SPECIALISTSKicker Marshall Morgan (6-3, 201, So.) and punter Colin

Barber (6-2, 200, So.) were thrust into starting roles a year ago and should be even better with a year’s worth of experience under theirbelts.Morganwent8-of-14onfieldgoals,includingtwofrom more than 50 yards, and he was 63-of-67 on extra points for 87 points – the second-highest total on the team. Barber averaged 41.5 yards per punt, pinning opponents inside the 20-yard line 19 times on 60 attempts. He had a long punt of 60 yards.

The Bulldogs also return punters Adam Erickson (5-10, 175, Jr.) and Ethan Jackson (5-11, 178, Sr.). Erickson was the holder onextrapointsandfieldgoalsandpuntedeighttimeslastyear.Patrick Beless (5-9, 155, R.Fr.) and Thomas Pritchard (5-10, 160, R.Fr.) are back to provide depth at kicker.

Nathan Theus (6-3, 249, So.) and Wright Gazaway (6-0, 243, R.So.) will vie for playing time at snapper.

RUNNING BACKSGeorgia has perhaps the strongest 1-2 punch in the SEC with

the return of Todd Gurley (6-1, 218, So.) and Keith Marshall (5-11, 216, So.) at tailback. A year ago, Gurley rushed for 1,385 yards – the second-highest total by a true freshman at Georgia, trailing only Herschel Walker – and scored 17 touchdowns. He garnered Freshman All-America, All-SEC, and Freshman All-SEC accolades. Marshall added 759 yards and eight touchdowns, pacing the Bulldogs with a 6.5-yards-per-carry average. Gurley and Marshall accounted for 84 percent of Georgia’s yards and 78 percent of its touchdowns on the ground. The Bulldogs also return Brandon Harton (5-6, 175, Sr.), Kyle Karempelis (5-9, 183, Jr.) and Alex Parsons (5-10, 191, Sr.) at tailback.

At fullback, Merritt Hall (5-11, 238, R.So.) appeared in 12 games last year, including six as the starter. He will be backed up by Quayvon Hicks (6-2, 262, So.), Corey Campbell (5-10, 215, Jr.), Dominic Bryan (6-0, 235, R.Fr.), Chris Young (6-1, 224, Sr.) and Taylor Maxey (5-10, 223, R.So.).

WIDE RECEIVERSExperience and depth give the Bulldogs reason to be opti-

mistic at the wide-out positions. Malcolm Mitchell (6-1, 192, Jr.) went through spring drills and the early part of the regular season in 2012 as a defensive back, then returned full-time to receiver andfinishedwith40catchesfor572yardsandfourtouchdownsto rank second on the team. Chris Conley (6-3, 205, Jr.) added 342 yards and six touchdowns, including two scores – one on a 87-yard catch-and-run – in the bowl. Rantavious Wooten (5-10, 179, Sr.) had two touchdowns among his 15 catches, while Justin Scott-Wesley (5-11, 217, So.) picked up a score in his six grabs.

2013 Spring Outlook


Dog Tracks2013 Bulldog Spring Storylines

Potent Offense Georgia became only the third team in school history to have 12 wins in a season last year thanks in large part to its explosive offense The Bulldogs scored a school record 529 points including scoring more than 40 points in eight games last season. This averaged out to 37.8 points a game, also a school record. Good news for Georgia in 2013 is that the team loses only one starter on offense and returns Freshman All-American TB Todd Gurley and record-breaking QB Aaron Murray.

Murray Prepares For Final Season Record-setting quarterback Aaron Murrayoptedtoreturnforhisfinalyearandnotenter the NFL Draft as a fourth-year junior. As the SEC’s most seasoned signal-caller, he has started every game the past three seasons, a total of 41 games. He has led the Bulldogs to a pair of SEC Eastern Division titles and directed Georgia to only its third 12-win season in school history last year. He is the NCAA active leader with 95 career touchdownpassesandranksfourthinpassingefficiencyat158.55.

Talented Tailback Tandem Returns The Bulldogs feature a potent duo at tailback in Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall. The pair combined for 2,144 yards and 25 touchdowns in 2012 as true freshmen. Gurley posted the second best output by a freshman tailback in school history, accounting for 1,385 yards and 17 touchdowns.Marshall finishedwith 759 yards and eight touch-downs.

And Then There Were Two Georgia returns just two starters from the 2012 defense: junior defensive back Da-main Swann and senior defensive lineman Garrison Smith. Swann led the Bulldogs with a team-high four interceptions. He tallied 53 tackles and two sacks. Smith led all lineman with 57 stops. The duo played in all 14 games last year.

New Faces Abound As part of its large signing class, the Bulldogs had a school-record 13 members en-roll in January including a pair of JUCO defensive lineman. Georgia lost nine starters on defense but just one on offense. The bulk of the signing class should provide immediate depth and have an excellent opportunity to compete for playing time in 2013.

In 2012, four different receivers had 100-yard games and 11 Bulldogs combined for 36 touchdown receptions from him. Georgia lost two of its receivers during the year due to ACL injuries in then senior Marlon Brown and then sophomore Michael Bennett. The Bulldog leaders last season were Tavarres King and Malcolm Mitchell. Georgia lost Bennett before the South Carolina game and Brown during the Ole Miss contest. King, now preparing for the NFL, had a team-best 950 yards on 42 catches(22.6avg.).Against#2Alabama,Kinghad142yardsonfivecatches.King, Mitchell and Chris Conleywereveryproductivethefinalfivegames.Inthat stretch, King had 15 catches for 399 yards and three TDs.

Gurley & Marshall Ignite Rushing Attack Since the legendary #34 Herschel Walker lined up in the Bulldog back-field, every tailback since then has been compared to theHeismanTrophywinner who led the Bulldogs to the 1980 national championship. In 2012, true freshmen roommates and North Carolina natives Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall, who wear No. 3 and 4 respectively, were nicknamed ‘Gurshall’ by then senior receiver Tavarres King. Gurley hails from Tarboro, N.C., while Marshall is a native of Raleigh, N.C. Gurley became the 12th Bulldog to rush for 1,000 yards in a season andthefirstsinceKnowshonMorenoin2008aftergoingfor68yardsandatouchdown versus Georgia Southern on Nov. 17 in the 11th game of the year. When Moreno did it, he was a redshirt sophomore. He gained 1,400 yards with 16 touchdowns in 13 games. Only Gurley and Walker have tallied 1,000-yard seasons in their true freshman seasons. GurleyfinishedsecondintheSECinRushingYardsPerGame(98.9),third in Scoring (108 pts.) and third in All-Purpose Yards Per Game (124.6). In the SEC Championship Game against No. 2 Alabama, Gurley rushed for 122 yards on 23 carries with two TDs. Alabama faced six 1,000 yard rush-ers in the 2012 season, and Gurley was the only one to go over 100 yards. Three of those six players were held to a season-low rushing total. Also, the Crimson Tide allowed only 10 rushing TDs all year. Gurley now owns the Bulldog freshman record for rushing TDs in a season with 17. Gurleybecamethefirstplayer thisseason torushformore than100yards against #3 Florida after he went for 118 and a touchdown. Against Ten-nessee,heandMarshallcombinedfor200+yards(294)andfivetouchdownson the ground. Marshall averaged 16.4 yards/carry versus the Volunteers, tal-lying a career-best 164 yards and two touchdowns while Gurley equaled his career high with 130 yards and three scores. Gurley’s longest TD run against UT covered 51 yards while Marshall’s were 72 and 75 yards. Gurley and Marshall combined for 12 runs of 25 or more yards during the season, including eight that went for touchdowns. In the Bulldogs win over Ga. Tech to end the regular season, both Gur-leyandMarshallfinishedwithapairofTDsandcombinedfor163yardsonthe ground. Marshall averaged 9.4 yds./carry against the Yellow Jackets while Gurley averaged 8.1. Gurley was named the SEC Freshman of the Week three times while Marshall had the honor once.

No. 2 Signal Caller For The Bulldogs During 2013 spring practice, redshirt junior Hutson Mason will lead a group of quarterbacks vying for playing time behind senior Aaron Murray. Mason was listed as the No. 2 on the depth chart during the 2012 season but did not play as a redshirt to create a year of separation between the entrenched starter. However, Mason played in four games at quarterback in 2011, going 18-of-30 for 254 yards and two touchdowns. Overall, he has appeared in eight games in his career. The other two Bulldog quarterbacks to see action in 2012 were a combined 4-for-9 for 82 yards with one TD. Redshirt sophomore QB Christian LeMayhasappearedinfivegamesin his career. He was 1-for-2 for 43 yards and one interception last season. His lone career completion came to redshirt sophomore Justin Scott-Wesley against Florida Atlantic on Sept. 15. Redshirt junior Parker Welch is the only other quarterback with col-legiate playing experience. Welch played in two games in 2011 and completed his only pass for 20 yards versus Coastal Carolina. In 2012, Welch appeared insixgames,andhewas3-for-7for39yardswithonetouchdown.Hefireda13-yard TD pass to Scott-Wesley in the rout of Georgia Southern on Nov. 17.

However, the Bulldogs have a couple of veteran returners in ILB Amarlo Herrera and OLB Jordan Jenkins. Herrera,whostartedninegames,rankedfifthontheteamwith70tackles.He tallied a career-high 11 tackles at #6 South Carolina after registering a career-high 10 stops at Missouri. He added a 35-yard interception return for a touchdown during the 56-20 win over Florida Atlantic.

DEFENSE & SPECIAL TEAMS Swann Lone Returnee In The Secondary Junior Damian Swann is the only starter back from the 2012 secondary. He led the Bulldogs with four interception and had 53 tackles including two sacks. He capped his sophomore year by tying a Bulldog bowl record with two interceptions in the win over #23 Nebraska. Swann had two other big-time performances during the season. In the Ole Miss game, Swann had three tackles, one sack and two fumble recover-ies, including a 53-yard return. He had an interception and a forced fumble against #3 Florida that led to 10 points in the Bulldogs’ 17-9 upset. A pair of reserve safeties return for the Bulldogs in juniors Connor Norman and Corey Moore. Norman started two games and played in all 14contests.Hefinishedwith18tackles.Mooreplayedin14gameswithonestart to go with 14 tackles. Also, defensive back Sheldon Dawson appeared in 13 games and had 12 tackles. Georgia’s 2013 signing class featured eight defensive backs/safeties including three who enrolled early in Tray Matthews, Quincy Mauger and Reggie Wilkerson. Big Guys Around The Ball Georgia will have to rebuild its interior line after a trio of veterans have moved on to the NFL in Abry Jones, John Jenkins and Kwame Geathers. However, the leading tackler from this unit is back in senior Garrison Smith. Smith, a 6-3, 297-pound native of Atlanta, started eight games and registered 57 tackles. The aforementioned trio that has departed accounted for 107 tackles last season. Junior Ray Drew is one of the top options for increased playing time here. He collected 23 tackles in 13 games. The Bulldogs welcomed a pair from the junior college ranks that enrolled this January and will go through spring drills. They are Chris Mayes,6-4,330-poundnativeofGriffinviaMississippiGulfCoast CC and Johnathan Atkins, a 6-4, 305-pound native of Thomson, Ga., via Hargrave Military Academy. The defensive line will be lead by coach Chris Wilson, who joined the Bulldogs in January from Mississippi State. Georgia’s former defensive line coach, Rodney Garner, left for a similiar position at his alma mater, Au-burn. Specialists Gain Experience In 2012, punter Collin Barber of Cartersville, Ga., and place-kicker Marshall Morgan of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., came in as freshman and had to replace a couple of Bulldogs who went on to become NFL starters (Drew Butler-Pittsburgh, Blair Walsh-Minnesota; Walsh made the Pro Bowl). Morgantallied87pointsontheyear.Hehit8-of-14fieldgoals(hittingtwo from 50+) and connected on a school record 63-of-67 extra points. Barberlifteda57-yardpuntonhisfirsttryagainstBuffaloandaveraged41.5 yards in 2012 with a career-long punt of 60 yards versus Ole Miss. Last seasonmarked thefirst since 1985 thatGeorgia openedwith apunter and placekicker without any collegiate experience. That year, punter Cris Carpenter and placekicker Steve Crumley were redshirt freshman. The Return Men Georgia featured a couple of newcomers who returned punts and kickoffs in 2012 and will be back in 2013. The main kickoff returner was sophomore Malcolm Mitchell (16 for 360, 22.5 avg.). Newcomer Todd Gurley has also had seven returns, including a 100 yarder to tie the NCAA record versus Buffalo which shot his average up to 34.7. Mitchell and Rhett McGowan split time as the punt returners. McGowan averaged 8.3 on nine returns while Mitchell had 11 returns for 57 yards (5.2 avg.) Junior FLK Chris Conley also made an impact play on special teams in 2012. Conley blocked a Buffalo punt in the season opener to set up a 35-yard fieldgoal.

We just made some plays at the end there that got some quick scores for us. My hat just goes off to the Missouri coaches, and their play-ers and fans...Richard Samuel’s stop on the fake punt might have been the play of the game. It’s the one that made me the happiest.”

Coach Mark Richt said… “I’m really proud of our players. It was a great football game, but unfortunately we ended up on the wrong side of the scoreboard. I think Alabama’s a great football team, obviously, but I think we’re good, too. The boys gave a great effort, and I’m really proud of our coaches, as well. Somebody just asked me what I thought the difference was, and the only thing I can think of is that we just ran out of time.”

Coach Mark Richt said… “It’s really fun to win one of these. We had lost our last two bowl games, so we were getting kind of tired of that. We worked so hard to continue to get better, and this year we had another really good season with the SEC East.

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 12 seasons between the hedges, he’s demon-strated what that means by winning two SEC Championships(2002,‘05),fiveSECEasternDivision titles and tied for another, and his 118-40 record is fourth best in the country in winning percentage among active coaches (.747). And his emphasis on graduation has come to fruition as 228 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 non-conference teams is 48-8 and his teams are 41-11 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)inhisfirstfiveyears,andoneofonlyfiveheadcoachesinSEChistorytorecordfour

straight 10-win seasons (2002-05). The respect he has nationally was demonstrated in 2010 when Richt was named to the American Foot-ball 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 excite-ment and unity among the Georgia people. Geor-gia 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 build-ing a football program, his commitment to disci-pline, 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 Fresh-man of the Year in 2001 and in ‘02, Greene ledtheSECinpassingefficiencyandwastheconsensuschoiceforAll-SECfirstteam.Bythe end of his career, Greene had become the SEC’s all-time leading passer (11,528 yards) and set the NCAA Division 1-A record for career victories by a starting QB with 42. D.J. Shockley followed Greene in 2005 and led the SECinpassingefficiency.MatthewStaffordcame next (2006-08) and set the Georgia re-cord for season total offense in 2008 (3,499 yards) andfinished third in career passingyardage(7,731).In2010,AaronMurrayfin-ishedsecondnationallyinpassingefficiencyamong freshman quarterbacks and in 2011 set the school record for most TD passes in a single season (35 breaking the old mark of 25 by Matthew Stafford). He broke it again in 2012 with 36 and is the only QB in SEC history to throw for more than 3,000 yards three consecutive years. The NFL is also looking Georgia’s way on a regular basis. Sixty-four of Richt’s players have been chosen in the NFL draft over the last eleven years including eight chosen in the 2002 NFL draft--the most Georgia players ever selected in a single year.

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 Zach and Anya, in tow. “They have been a special blessing to all our family,” said Katharyn.

On Dec. 26, 2000, Richt was named head coach at the University of Georgia after serving on the staff at Florida State for 15 years—the last seven as offensive coordinator. Richt, a 1982 graduate of the University of Miami, coached the quarterbacks for 14 seasons at FSU. As offensive coordinator, he developed offenses that were among the mostprolificincollegefootballhistorywhilebecoming one of country’s most respected coaches. Under Richt’s direction, the FSU offense had been a national leader.

Richt sent six FSU quarterbacks into the NFL between 1987 and 2000. In addition to Weinke (Carolina Panthers), Washington Redskin Casey Weldon was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy in 1991. His team-

mate at FSU, Brad Johnson (now Richt’s brother-in-law), was a Pro Bowl selec-tion for Washington in 2000 and led the Tampa Bay Bucs to the Super Bowl title in 2003. Other Richt pro proteges include Danny Kanell (New York Giants), Danny McManus (Kansas City Chiefs) and Peter Tom Willis (Chicago Bears). A native of Omaha, Nebraska, Richt played QB for the Miami Hurricanes un-der Howard Schnellenberger. Het spent most of his career at Miami as a backup to former Buffalo Bills star Jim Kelly. In one of Richt’s years at Miami, his QB teammates included Kelly, Vinny Tes-taverde, Bernie Kosar, and quarterbacks coach Earl Morral. Richt is married to the former Katharyn Francis of Tallahassee. The couple have four children - Jonathan (3/11/90), a senior quarterback at Mars Hill College, David (12/1/94), Zach (5/15/96), and Anya (2/13/97).

Uga, The Mascot Legacy

The Goat, Feb. 22, 1892Georgia’smascotforitsfirstfootballgameagainstAuburn,February22,1892inAtlanta,Ga.,wasagoat.Oldnewspaper

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, 1894In 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 opin-

ion:“...everydayTrilbytookherselfdowntooldHertyfieldwithhermasterforfootballpractice.Sheransignalswiththebestofthemandbecameanaccustomedfigureontheathleticfield...Onemorning,Trilbyfailedtoappearforherbreakfastandafterafranticsearchshewasfinallydiscoveredproudlywashingthefacesofhernewbornfamily,13white 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 aname,Bulldogs.’...EverytimeagamewasplayedonHertyField,theboyswouldflossTrilbyandher13offeringsupwithredandblackribbons,andsoattiredtheyhavegonedowninhistoryasperhapsthefirst‘sponsors’insouthernfootball.” —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,dependingonwhichalumnusgothisdogtothegamefirst.”—AJC,Nov.18,1962

Butch, 1947-50Butch was a brin dled English bulldog owned by Mabry Smith of War ner 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 po-liceman 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.

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.

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

Uga IV, 1981-89“Seiler’s Uga Four”Record: 77-27-4Uga 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 Heis-man Trophy Ban quet with Herschel Walker in New York on December 9, 1982. Uga IV was escorted through thebanquet hall by the president of the Down town Athletic Club, and was earlier photographed with Herschel by photographers from across the country.

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,
