It is hard to imagine stepping into bigger shoes than those Georgia quarterback Joe Cox has had to fill.

Cox, a fifth year senior, rode the pine for the Bulldogs while phenom Matthew Stafford honed his skills in Athens and eventually became the number one pick in the NFL draft and a very wealthy young man.

Joe Cox likely won’t see similar millions as a pro signal caller. When his college career is over he wants to be a coach and the bet here is he will get that opportunity.

Watching Joe on the sidelines I have to say I've never seen a young man who is enjoying
playing football anywhere more than he does right now!
And yes He's a damn good DAWG!

If you ain't pullin' for Joe Cox to be successful and have a great year, then you ain't a true Dawg. Now, if we could just figure how how to get that God Awful Defense fixed...

Agree with ya. Just have to outscore everyone.

The Dawgs haven't had a good defense since Brian VanGorter left. VanGorter is now doing a an outstanding job as the Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator. I am sure the Dawgs defensive coordination Willie Matinez needs to be replace and ASAP.

It's appears to be a combination of things that is hurting the defense, imo. One, the defensive talent level is down from previous years -- no David Pollock, Thomas Davis, Charles Johnson, etc., etc. Two, the offense is putting the defense in some tough situations with the turnovers. Three, the jury is still out on Willie being the answer at DC. I believe that the lack of impact players on defense is the main culprit, however.

Mark Ritch has turned Georgia into a Fla State Football program lots of talent and no results. We want win another game this year,

From what I have seen, Fla State stopped being a program when Richt left. Coach Richt is one of the most active winning headcoaches presently in NCAA football. There are alot more schools looking for a Mark Richt than there are Mark Richts looking for a school.
