youering over his head coach bobby petrino. he came from michigan, he weighed 265 when he transferred, gave up fast food, most of it u down to 238. >> todd: worked on his athleticism, his foot quickness. lost about 30, 35 pounds and he's a tremendous competitor and his confidence level has worn off on the rest of this team. >> brad: rolls to throw and got a man wide open, michael smith on the run he's got a first down. just like that, trying to get ryan mallett in the groove, bobby petrino, offensive told us we'll get him comfortable, that's the way you start. >> todd: they'll script first several plays and other guy they want to get involved is michael smith, he's one of their real go-to guys only four touches two weeks ago in their opening win and he's a big part of their offense >> referee: >> brad: 18 yards on that swing pass on bootleg.
3:06 am
empty back field, mallett by himself, georgia bringing pressure. in and out hands of joe adam and immediately georgia trying to put some heat on number 15. let's look at arkansas' impact players. todd just menged a guy with over 1,000 yards rushing last year, more department this year. this guy will be involved toont, d.j. williams caught 61 a season ago and malcolm sheppard, two-time cap dan all-s.e.c. performer on the defensive front, number two tackler last year. second down and ten. dennis johnson now in the back field, he'll empty that back field over to the wing on the left side. mallett, throws, high and oh, johnson is hit the ball comes out and it's going to be incomplete. >> todd: right way you see georgia, knowing what they have to do in this game, number one, get to ryan mallett on first down play, they forced a low throw, this time they hit him as he threw it. he gets the pass out of there but ends oun his back.
3:07 am
that's a big thing for georgia tonight. they've got to make ryan mallett uncomfortable. if they can't, they won't have say chance of stopping this offense. >> referee: jones, big safety, 6'2", 215 laid the wood to him and knocked that ball out of there. now third down and ten. only three of out ten in the season opener but 3 for 3 on fourth down in that season opener. flags on the field for the first time tonight. >> todd: now third and 15. >> referee: prior to the snap, false start, on the offense, number 73. five-yard penalty. remains third down. >> brad: ray dominguez, the tackling, bobby petrino in his second year, very successful at louisville, went to the atlanta falcons and back into college football last season, his first year, 5-7, only 2-6 in conference play but had some big
3:08 am
wins and some close losses, so that's why they have the hopes for this season. mallett on third and 15, here they come, he's got to get rid of this one. jeff owens came right up the middle and ryan mallett was back pedaling as quickly as he could. >> todd: looked like ryan mallett changed the protection as an audible at the line of scrimmage but didn't account for jeff owens, right up the center in between the right guardian center. nobody blocked him. that's the worst place for a quarterback to feel pressure right up the middle, coming right at you. >> brad: that's the tight end, d.j. williams, who is down on the turf. that's a guy they can't afford to lose. and hops up and then slows down and now he'll head to the sideline. punting situation for the first time tonight. that's been a bit of a circus so far in practice and in the first game. they on had to punt once against
3:09 am
missouri state. this is dylan breeding, he's a freshman. sometimes he booms them, sometimes they don't go so far. prince miller is back deep for georgia. behind breeding and this case, not a bad kick but might be returnable. miller a fumble and i think arkansas' got it. first mistake of the night. turnovers have been killers for georgia in the first three weeks of the season. >> todd: they committed six turnovers in the first two games that led directly to 26 points. now, prince miller is going to fumble this but i think number 2, brandon boykin got in his way, bumped into him trying to block for him and knocked prince miller's concentration off the football. that's a mistake more by boykin than it is by prince miller. >> brad: prince miller is still down, too. >> todd: we talked about the
3:10 am
fatigue and is it going to be a factor? prince miller, the guy who tried to field that punt, last week, officially played 99 plays against south carolina but it was really more like 105 because of penalties, so he was actually out there for plays that were penalty plays and i mean, that's a lot of football plays to play for anybody. >> brad: right now georgia is hoping he can play more than six plays tonight. you saw mark richt give him the pat on the backside as he headed to the sideline. georgia is in a bad spot. arc, in a great position offensively at the bulldogs' 34 yard line. johnson, lone set back. and he'll get the call. nice spin move in the back. but he'll go down. a loss on the play. gamble, middle linebacker made the stop. you'll see the offensive starters on the top of your screen led by the quarterback, mallett and michael smith who start the back. we'll see a lot of backs, wingo,
3:11 am
green, a bigger back at almost 250. d.j. williams back at tight end, number 45. second down and ten. quick throw, complete, got it to wright and he's got a first down. very close to it. >> todd: bobby petrino told us yesterday he expected more man-free coverage from georgia. that it was a lot of zone in the first two games, a lot of open areas to throw the football and he expected man. he got man, linebackerer blitz on the inside. single coverage outside. and they get the first down conversion. >> brad: jarius wright, they were telling us, probably the most complete receiver as far as route runner, great hands. that time a first down at the 24. out of the i, toss to johnson. blocker in front. and he does a nice job of pick up five or six yards before he
3:12 am
tiptoes out of bounds. >> todd: deanthony curtis fullback, they have two full backs that play with different personal groups, they was a lead blocker and nice job getting him to the corner. >> brad: you saw georgia defense, lineup on top of the newcomer in justin houston who came off a below two-game suspension, good thing he was coming back, lost battle to a season-ending knee injury, tore his acl against south carolina last week. second down and four. they move the tight end williams and play fake and throw, want throw to him and now to the end zone and touchdown! joe adams!
3:13 am
3:14 am
some say david abernathy's extraordinary confidence began at birth... when he congratulated the doctor on a perfect delivery. he later approached the much older carrie pecor, and simply said, "call me." and she did. at 24, he performed open heart surgery... in a crowded opera house with a ball point pen. but when it comes to car buying, he's as nervous as anyone. so at 28, david abernathy used cars.com... to regain his confidence... to get the perfect car at the perfect price.
3:15 am
3:16 am
>> this is the s.e.c. on espn from fayetteville where the razorbacks are on the board first. 34-yard drive and four plays. ryan mallett to joe adams for the touchdown. and now the razorbacks, cameron bryant sent to kick off. brandon boykin back deep for georgia and i mentioned earlier he took one 100 yards against south carolina for a touchdown last week. he'll touch this one at the 1 yard line. boykin's got a seam. comes outside. across the 40 and nice return gives georgia a good place to set up shop offensively as we go
3:17 am
back to the touchdown, todd. >> todd: you see a quarterback with a lot of confidence in his arm. joe adams will run this route but right here d.j. williams will run the short route and he's open0l first for ryan malt but mallett says i'm going to pass on the short completion and take a shot on sticking one between two defenders in the end zone and he got it and sometimes guys with big arms they have a lot of confidence they can make that throw. >> brad: see how this guy's arm is now, better in week one than it was in week two. toss sweep, samuel, maybe a yard. beckett defensive end made the stop. a lot of people note story of joe cox, definitely bieded his team behind matthew stafford all those years and now it's his team to run. >> todd: very similar to d.j. shockley where waited his turn to about starter but the biggest difference when shockley was a backup he got a lot more game
3:18 am
experience than joe cox did. he hasn't had many snaps as a starter. >> brad: second down and nine. cox takes his time. the crowd trying to make it difficult for him. and here is his first pass. cox, deep. got a man and it's a.j. green. big throw and out of boupds at the 26 yard line. pick up of 29. >> todd: if anybody wants to wonder if joe cox's number is okay, doesn't throw on wednesdays, has to rest a little bit, had some zip on this ball. and a.j. green between the corner and safety there is a soft spot that joe cox puts it in the exact right spot. if that ball is any further inside, the safety gets a chance to make a play on it. >> brad: a.j. green, freshman of the year in the s.e.c. offensively last season, he's a big-timer there, number 8. now it's cox, in shotgun with three wideouts. they keep it on the ground and
3:19 am
samuel to the 24. jerico nelson on the tackle. defensively for arc, you'll see it on top of your screen. wendtle davis of captain of the defense had a big play and malcolm shep hard, defensive lineman we talked about. >> todd: we talked about challenge for georgigeorgia's d, pressure on ryan mallett. the challenge for arkansas' defense and front in particular, is to hold up against the run, they gave up yards rushing last year. >> brad: looks like a passing situation for the georgia bulldogs on second and eight, they'll flip it out, wide receiver screen to green. and he tried to hurdle a guy to get down close to the 20 yard line. they're going to spot him out at about the 22. let's look at ga good's impact players. there is one of them already. he's caught a couple of balls on this drive. rennie curran, you'll never see a better one, playing linebacker in this conference. and brandon boykin in the
3:20 am
secondary, had an interception and kick return for a touchdown last week against south carolina. big third down here on georgia's opening march. trailing by a touchdown. third and five. >> todd: a.j. green at the bottom by the 2. to the end zone, touchdown! >> brad: joe cox throws a strike, 21 yards for the score. that's the way you answer a touchdown by the other team. >> todd: watch, safeties split, quarterback says tight end down quarterback says tight end down the middle but on a road trip i map out the cheapest gas stations so i can save a few bucks, we can spend it on dog food, bags of it so we use a credit card that gives us cash back. it's always good to buy only solid colored wrapping paper, it's good for every occasion like a new snow blower, i got it off season,
3:21 am
3:24 am
>> brad: the s.e.c. on espn, good game in the first five minutes, both teams have a touchdown pass. aaron white, tight end, caught joe cox' aerial there to tie it up. >> todd: joe cox reported, mark richt said he needed to take a step forward, did it there. 3 for 3 on the first drive. 53 yards, good management of the offense. >> brad: blair walsh now has to tee it up again. dennis johnson back deep. didn't get a chance to return the first one. he will get a chance at this one. from the 2. johnson and around. on the reverse. hamilton, look out, hamilton, all of the way down to georgia territory. we saw them run that in practice on friday. i didn't know they would do it
3:25 am
first time we kick off tonight. >> todd:ed exchange looked bobbly, but they were able to do it. hamilton, a lot of skill. watch johnson start to the right, gives it back to hamilton and picks up nice blocks on outside, key, jermaine thomas number 5, right here a block on the outside. and enables hamilton to get 15 extra yards >> brad: kocobi, freshman. deep, got a man, touchdown, jarius bhiwhite! you get a big gainer on a kick return and then it's sudden impact. >> todd: sudden impact and bobby
3:26 am
petrino feeling like the position, let's take a shot deep and he has confidence in his quarterback in ryan mallett, he make the pay off. make the pay off. >> brad: alex in 25 years, global energy consumption will increase by 50%. to meet demand, we'll need to harness the power of sun... wind... waves... and atoms. but that's not enough. today, we need oil. which means before we drill for oil, we drill for data. we can create 3d models of hidden reserves. find new oil in old wells. extend the life of a field. reduce the need for new drilling. smarter resources... to fuel the smarter planet. that's what i'm working on. i'm an ibmer. let's build a smarter planet.

it's a grill and a cooler? it's a grooler. tailgate tested! tailgate approved! ♪ the sideline. fourth quarter. huskies up by three. corp nearly picked off by mason foster. 41 seconds to go. tied at 13. locker to >> brad: jordan shipley, a heck of a football player. georgia here -- arkansas rather, second and 24, tipped, too but caught. and dennis johnson with some positive yardage picked up about five. demarcus dobbs with back-to-back tipped passes, one incomplete, that one, johnson was able to scoop up. and get positive yardage.
3:30 am
nice first move by johnson to get around the corner. >> todd: big play here for the georgia defense. they've got arkansas third and long, they've got to get a stop here and try to curb the momentum a bit, get their offense back on the field. good position for the defense. >> brad: three-man rush. mallett steps up, now he's going to run with it or is he? and he's going to slide. curran got over there, so did justin houston. a punting situation for the razorbacks with 12:24 and the clock returning in the second quarter. georgia will trot back. prince miller waiting on dylan breeding's punts. remember he already had one that he bobbled because of friendly fire, one of his own guys ran
3:31 am
3:34 am
>> brad: back in fayetteville, bobby petrino on the sideline, his team leading 21-10. and i thought there was a flag thrown during the time-out, maybe they picked it up. i' i was going to say, we've seen a little bit of everything with penalties. well, i was right. unsportsmanlike con dut on the arkansas bench. we will walk off 15. we don't have that happen very often folks. how many yards in penalties arkansas had in the last four minutes? they had two on jerry franklin, then they had another one for a chop block and just now another one on bobby petrino, that's 60 yards, right? around 60 yards worth of penalties in the last three
3:35 am
minutes against the razorbacks. gives georgia better field position from its own 30 yard line. play action for joe cox. down the middle, got his man, aron white, tight end who scored earlier, one deep down the middle into arkansas territory, pick up of 31. >> todd: the reason the tight ends -- oh, my goodness, another penalty. >> brad: forget what i just said, folks, about georgia being in arkansas territory. let's back pedal. >> referee: holding, on the offense, number 72. >> brad: vince vance, big left tackle, guilty party. >> todd: here's vance, he's in starting at left tackle but starr sturdivant, got hurt in the oklahoma game. right up around the neck of ambrose, i think, defensive end
3:36 am
for arkansas and negates a big play. >> brad: vince is the biggest guy georgia's got, 6'8", too big that time. hood hard >> todd: hard to hide when you're that big. >> brad: deep into double coverage, incomplete, intend for michael moore. we talked about todd, did, about georgia losing the left tackle, they had back-to-back starters on both lines in back-to-back weeksings, two leaders lost to acls and georgia last year had all kind of trouble on offensive line, had to shuffle guys into different positions. they even had kiante tripp going back and forth between offense and defense. so, two key players they lost in the first two weeks. second down, 20.

3:37 am
here's a big opening for samuel. he might be gone. richard samuel, touchdown, georgia. 80 yards. looking for a ground game, hello! they just found one. >> todd: i think they fooled arkansas defense, thinking pass in the center. ben jones got a huge block to spring samuel. watch right in the middle of the screen. first of all, fullback chapas will cut off the back side and watch ben jones, the center, 61. beautiful block right here and samuel sees nothing but the end zone. >> brad: extra

3:41 am
>> brad: 3:14 remaining, s.e.c. on espn, arkansas leads 21-17. here at razorback stadium and arkansas three touchdown passes by ryan mallett gave them the lead but georgia trying to regain the lead if they can here before the break. usually when we have a guest in the booth i have to say do you know how to wear that headset, this case i don't. i don't have both analysts in booth with me, jimmy dykes basketball color comment eighter with todd, he lichs in fayetteville and you and i getting ready for basketball not too long, you live here and excitement around this team. tell us about the feel a bit. >> i think you got the experience in the first quarter where tle was severe swine flu yoult break, everybody hat had hog fever when it was 21-10. bobby petrino's done a -- number one thing he's done in my estimation, united that razorback fan base once again.
3:42 am
>> brad: eighth play of the georgia drive, third and three, big play for the arkansas defense here. green, the motion man. georgia will keep it on the ground, caleb king won't get it this time. now it looks like georgia will have to attempt a field goal. you have spent a lot of time with bobby petrino. and in his second year, there is so much excitement and i think like todd said, houston nutt won a lot of good games and big game, no deal with one play and throw it for a touchdown. >> hog nation is excited, their ability to score in a hurry like first quarter. i'm impressed with georgia because they came into this ball game stung last week by south carolina and emotionally they won, mark richt said it emptied our tank and i'm impressed how think filled back up while this game has gone on. >> brad: try to fill it on fourth and two ride here. going for it. with time, across the middle and moore's got it and a first down. again, crossing pattern to number 82, senior been there and
3:43 am
done that big catches. >> todd: big catch and confidence that market richt has in his senior quarterback joe cox, to let him make that throw. not a deep throw but it's a clutch throw and puts it where it has to be for michael moore to make the first down. that's a big conversion. >> brad: georgia still with two time-outs in a little over two minutes. first down at the 25 of arkansas. back to the i backfield. good job running the ball but here they'll pass again. cox, across the middle. complete, a.j. green to the corner, touchdown. there's the big play man, 25 yards on a crossing part the pattern and the dogs have taken the lead. todd mentioned a couple of minutes ago, he had three catches early and now he's got
3:44 am
the biggest catch so far of the night. >> todd: two guys there to cover him but neither one covers him. first of all, gets inside the goin' to the game this weekend, jim? well, jerry, for more on that, let's throw it over to the hampton hotel... where my wife, tracy, has checked in. trace, what's the mood over there? in a word, jim: electric! comfy beds, complimentary hot breakfast, and friendly service. trace, what's that noise i hear? wow, i wish you listened this well at home, jim. she's kidding. i'm not. it's college football, honey. well, there you have it, folks. and trace, i'll see you in a few hours. back to you, jerry! ( phone rings ) thank you... all right!
3:46 am
this is humiliating. stand still so we can get an accurate reading. okay...um...eighteen pounds and a smidge. a smidge? y'know, there's really no need to weigh packages under 70 pounds. with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service, if it fits, it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. cool. you know this scale is off by a good 7, 8 pounds.
3:47 am
maybe five. priority mail flat rate boxes only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship. the sideline. fourth quarter. huskies up by three. corp nearly picked off by mason foster. 41 seconds to go. tied at 13. locker to bi bill -- bilas are blowing up my cell phone wanting to do football, too. >> brad: that's just how it is. on the ground, quick opener to michael smith and michael only about three yards. jimmy, we'll let you go. you mentioned like the basketball programs around the conference, that whole level like with bobby petrino and the les miles and nak saban and goes in the s.e.c. in football, i think fun in hoops, too. >> last year s.e.c. went most regular season without a team ranked in top 25, this year i think five or six regularly ranked in top 25 all season long and kentucky, a legitimate
3:48 am
contender for national title once again, which s.e.c. needs kentucky to wave that flag again. >> all right. see you in november. >> todd: you feel more pressure dress -- >> you feel pressure to dress with nessler? >> todd: he sets the bar high. >> brad: another penalty. >> referee: prior to the snap, false start, 73, five-yard penalty. >> brad: ray dominguez picked up a couple on the left side -- i shouldn't say left side, they go weak and strong with the guardian tackle, different alignments at different times. >> todd: just feel this place now. quiet. the air is out and this is where we find out what arkansas' really made of. how do they respond? >> brad: georgia will take time-out with 50 seconds, eight penaltieses on arkansas. they came in bunches, they had two against starting outside linebacker jerry franklin that got him kicked out, bobby petrino got one during a
3:49 am
time-out, which was 15 yards on unsportsmanlike and whole bunch of them packed together. but eight penalties in the first half against arkansas. >> todd: this is not what i'm sure bobby petrino wanted to see when they took the ball over, they had 1:40-some, a chance troun two-minute offense, see if you can put points on board, tie it up with a field goal maybe and gone backwards, missed a wide open receiver and gone backwards with some penalties. so right now, bobby petrino's got to figure out what he says to this group at halftime to say, look, we're the ball game, we have to respond. they responded, we have to respond now. >> brad: amazing thing is, you and i, erin and rest of the crew, we say what will we see? we said 48-35. sort of on that pace. see if the second half with the defense, if they clamp down more. mallett for childs and le got it, no, dropped it. wait a minute.
3:50 am
might have been a catch. done the sideline, touchdown, georgia. vance cuff. the official did not blow it did. >> todd: i saw a bean bag come out which suggests to me that he thought it was a fumble. a catch and a fumble and there was no whistle blown to call it an incomplete pass. here is the hit on the ball. and that's close. >> brad: i'm not sure he ever had possession but officials thought so and you can bet this one, as all plays are, will be reviewed. we'll know when we come back while the review's going ♪
3:52 am
3:53 am
3:54 am
ball came out almost instantaneously when he was hit by jones. cuff didn't hear a whistle, scooped and took off. >> todd: did the right thing. childs up in the air to make the catch and he's hit by rashaad jones, i guess question is, when he came down do he have possession of the football long enough to cull it a catch, it was ruled a catch and fumble on the field and you're right, cuff did the right thing. just play it through. >> brad: so, childs waiting on the top, mark richt waiting on the bottom and official on the left-hand side still going over it. >> todd: what a pivotal decision this is going to be. >> brad: with 35 seconds left in the halve. you talk about swinging the game in georgia's favor big time, as if it already hasn't been that way since they started clamping down defensively and scoring touchdowns of their own. and the jury is out and back in.
3:55 am
here's the call. >> todd: got his cue cards. >> brad: yeah. got a pen he stole from the hotel. he's got everything in that pocket. i guess it was me that stole the hotel pen. excuse me >> referee: after review, evidence shows the pass was incomplete. the ball will be awarded to arkansas, fourth and 11 at the 15 yard line. >> brad: during that time-out we could read mark richt's lips saying to the official, if it's incomplete it's fourth down, right? and looked up there and said yes, i think mark was already prepared that one was coming back. >> todd: also said something about the clock, which they did move back a few seconds. his team will get the ball with one time-out and probably about 35 seconds left. >> brad: mark spent most of that time in the review coaching for it not to be a touchdown. he thought we have to worry we got a time-out left and forcing
3:56 am
the punt and breeding in a tough spot at his own goal line. not a great kick. might take a good bounce. doesn't do that either. and rolls out of bounds, georgia's got a time-out, 30 seconds to play with and 35 seconds to play with and they're at their own 47 yard line. i know what manning would do, probably get a touchdown before halftime. >> brad: well, 35 seconds, good field position. you can take a few shots. you don't want to make another mistake, eekter. >> todd: here's your guy here, a.j. green, the go-to guy for the big plays. >> brad: moore's matd bic catches, back to moore down the middle, got it, to the 33 yard line.
3:57 am
how about the game michael moore is having? georgia hustles up to the line, clock stops for the first down, still a time-out left. 29 seconds, until the break. >> todd: spike the ball, stop the clock, save that time-out. >> brad: they're at the 33 yard line. >> todd: michael moore you mentioned what kind of night he's had. i had them in the capital one game against michigan state, he 97 yards in that game, he's a nice complement. not as flashy as a.j. green but very dependable. >> brad: he can get physical and take it over the middle as he has. here comes the blitz. down goes joe cox. wow, that pocket just collapsed that time. the hogs were bringing everybody from the pasture all of the way
3:58 am
oun to the field. >> todd: malcolm sheppard is their bell cow in defense, right over the guard, explode through this, right between center and left guardian goes right to joe cox. when the arkansas defense needed a play, their two-time captain gave them a play of >> brad: georgia trying to to get another drive going, that went the wrong way, last one, though, as we look at the sears drive recap was a beauty. because they had key third downs in that drive. joe cox kept it alive, crossing route to moore on fourth down, back to moore again, same spot and then to cap off the touchdown, 25-yarder to a.j. green, our sears drive recap for you. it is 24-21. georgia used its last time-out, todd, what they need to do is fe this can get it to the original line of scrimmage they can give walsh a crack at a long way, but
3:59 am
that play took them out of field goal range right now. >> todd: i don't know if they throw this in the field of play instead sideline, i don't know if they can run their field goal team on the field fast enough to get the thing done. >> brad: third down and 19. back busch busch cox, look out from behind, got away, throws deep in the middle, got his man, a.j. green and the question, todd just asked, first down. clock will stop here they come running, because of the first down, the clock stops until they vet the chains that give them enough time to get walsh on field. offense trying to scramble off. get their kicker on. blair walsh to track on three more. penalty marker down. still seven seconds left in the half. >> referee: prior to the snap, false start, offense, number 79. five-yard penalty, remains first down. >> brad: i don't think that
4:00 am
matters, blair walsh can take a breath and waited for snap. 28 yards on third and 19 by cox buying a little time, somebody had him by the jersey, stepped up in there, threw it down the middle and now a chance to pick up three more points. walsh will try from 37. from 37 yards and he's got it right down dixon street.
4:03 am
field but a moment in the hall when you got together. describe the feelings between you two? >> it was impossible to see him. people look at that like i'm not trying, i got him in the hallway here. to congratulate him. this is a fantastic accomplishment for him in the early part of this program and you know, now that this is over i'm proud of him. really proud of him and for all those guys that come from my program to do something like that that's really cool, i know how much fun it is. how much fun it is. so, if you can do it, i'

the officials will talk about it for six seconds it's taken them quite a while to determine who this one is on or what the call is, normally a block in the back -- >> referee: during the return, block in the back, receiving team, number 86. penalty will behalf the distance to the goal. first down. >> brad: georgia makes a mistake that start third quarter but not too many mistakes in second quarter. others cost them point >> todd: key for georgia rest of the game, if they want it stay in position to win this gail on road they have take care of football. turnovers costly, happened in their own part of the field, defense in the bind and led to easy scores for arkansas. >> brad: now they have to start deep in their own territory, opening drive here of the third kwaerd after that penalty. inside the ten. here is the toss. went 80 yards early in the ball game, has a career high night going.
4:09 am
as he had 90 yards at halftime, including an 80-yard touchdown run. so, georgia 17 unanswered points including the field goal tend but two-play drive, 80 was samuel for the touchdown. then a nicely executed drive by joe cox. michael moore, a.j. green, everything snapping on a 75-yard march and finally after taking it down, blair wallish kicked a 37-yard field goal to tap off the second quarter. second down at the 14. and hit in the backfield, this time jerico nelson, big hit on richard samuel. i think erin talked to mark richt. >> erin: iside him about the resiliency of this team and he said we've been in the fire the last two weeks. we fought our way out of it last week, said that's the way it is with this team. keep fighting. i asked him what is the biggest key for your offense here in the second half? i'll quote coach richt, we better not turn the doggone
4:10 am
thing over. >> brad: that was "doggone" spell ee eed d-a-w-g. cox, the throw and nice catch but sort of the first down. >> todd: nice job of making the tackle in the open field. good job by broadway. number 26, forced the punt. tried to just get it to the big receiver and if he breaks one tackle, it's a first down. broadway does a nice job wrapping him up with help from jerico nelson. >> brad: so willie robinson's defense forces the punt. just what they needed on the opening drive for georgia. drew butler to punt. with his first one over 50 yards. own 5 yard line. long punt again. but returnable back at the 26 yard line.
4:11 am
trying to get down and cover, jerrell norton. a.j. green getting worked on, that would be a huge blow if he could not return. joe cox having a word with a.j. had to stretch out to make the catch. here is the end of the play. didn't see him grab anything in particular. maybe just a good, hard sandwich tack between those two guys and he's a little sore. that's what they're going to hope also, anyway. mallett going to work. the throw, complete, out to tight end for the first time tonight, d.j. williams makes a catch. >> todd: i was about to say, interested to see what arkansas does in the second half to get a couple guys involved that have not been involved. d.j. williams is one, big-time receiver and michael smith ran for over 1,000 yards last year,
4:12 am
one carry for three yards in the fist half, i think those two guy, smith and williams have to be a bigger factor for arkansas in the second half. >> brad: and here is the other aforementioned, smith trying to weave across the 40. >> erin: when green came to the sideline he immediately crumbled to the ground. the trainers were working before on the back, left side, particularly. see they stopped working on it. just catching his breath but shake everybody off right now. >> brad: pound on him a little bit, maybe had the wind knocked out of him or a back rib that might have gotten banged around a little bit. arkansas has not con vertsed a third down tonight. they're 0-5. mallett stands tall, williams again for the first down at midfield. so, twice the tight end out of little rock has made catches and
4:13 am
this one for first down. >> todd: just too good players, d.j. williams and michael smith to go an entire half of football and them be nonfactors. you scored a lot of points, exciting plays, got young receivers involved by these are two proven commodities. you got a 1,000-yard rusher and a guy with 69 catches a year ago, you got to get them involved. >> brad: michael smith, one of the captains of the offense and the coaches say one of the very true leaders on this team. here he is on a toss. and he's got a little room to work, down to the 45, picked up five. brandon boykin came over, along with bryan evans to make the stop. >> todd: michael smith is not the biggest back and he's got quickness, he's got shiftiness, 5'9" out of tallahassee, florida, but he knows how to move the football. bobby petrino says he's been a joy to coach. he's got great attitude, works
4:14 am
with younger backs and taught them the offense. just been a pleasure to have on the team. >> brad: mallett, quick drop, quick throw to the outside, not enough for the first down i don't think, about a yard shy but nice toss again out to childs. a big part of his game, greg childs, todd mentioned, 6'3", 217, the most physical of the razorback receivers. >> todd: getting a lot more reps tonight, in the first game, he was rotating, in that receiver rolle with london crawford, the senior wide receiver who broke his collarbone in that opener, now, childs getting a lot more reps at the one receiver spot. >> brad: lucas miller also has a broken collarbone or he'd be there, two guys with broken collarbones and mike aal floyd of notre dame, rece said on one of the halftime stories he broke his collarbone today, that would be a huge loss for notre dame. roderick green, getting more rotation in the back field.
4:15 am
michael smith, roderick green in there, a lot greens, 6'2", 248-pounder. >> todd: at the like him in the short yardage in the goal line area, guy from little rock, arkansas but transferred here from usc. >> brad: the stunner today that everybody knows about that pays attention to college football. washington picking off usc. inches shy of the first down. mallett comes back to the huddle. >> todd: you got a 6'7" quarterba quarterback. man, i'm thinking you run a quarterback sneak here, third and about a half a football away. >> brad: arkansas side of the 40.
4:16 am
fourth down and inches, again, they were 3 for 3 on fourth down in their opener a couple of weeks ago. there is the quarterback. and he got plenty. dug in behind his center and his left guardian he got it ease live so, five minutes into the third quarter, after holding georgia and forcing punt, arkansas worked it into bulldog territory. >> todd: i wouldn't about surprised to see bobby petrino take a shot down the field toward the end zone, maybe off a play action. got a little drive going n their territory and just made a big first down. >> brad: adams and wright split to the top of the screen. childs at the bottom. pump fake, childs down the sideline and he's got it. and he's gone.

we had a blast there. >> todd: a lot of energy and atmosphere, cheerleaders and tusk came down while we were eating. a good scene >> brad: at our table and they came by with the big bus with tusk ii down in the inside with the cheerleaders. that's one big hog, tusk, a 500-pounder, almost as big as todd's steak. boykin, two yards deep will bring it out. brandon boykin, a guy that got victimized on the touchdown, maybe he'll make up for it, keeps his balance and to the 35 yard line. remember, he took one coast to coast last week. he almost broke that one. reminder, if you want to win $100 gift certificate to doe's log on to espn.com search taste of the town and tell us why you deserve to win and you could be eating there. it would be good. after a 66-yard drive on eight plays for arkansas, let's see if georgia's got an answer. >> todd: somebody just came off the field for arkansas, rudell
4:23 am
crim, their starting cornerback came out holding his hamstring, greg gatson is in as starting corner. >> brad: they fake it to him, joe cox, look out from behind, deep ball for cox, just overshot. two guys basically in the same spot down there. and include iing rantavious woo. >> todd: they went after the new guy, greg gatson just came in and first play they went after him. so, flag as they point will go against georgia. >> referee: holding on the offense, number 81. ten-yard penalty from the previous spot, repeat first down. >> brad: aron white, tight end. pressure on cox who just got that away. 16th total penalty we've had in the ball game. here you see the heat coming from the back side.
4:24 am
just got that thing gone and then he got popped. by toddamario aimbrose. back at the 25 now. first and 20. they will give it to king. got about three. georgia, their ground game, you take away that one huge run by samuel and they haven't done much on the ground either. >> todd: arkansas run defense with the exception of the 80-yard touchdown, has been much better than a year ago. getting a pretty good push with their front. linebackers are finish off plays and tackling well. >> brad: second down and 16, three wideouts, and joe cox again in the shotgun.
4:25 am
throws deep middle, got a man, it's moore again and another great catch by michael moore. 21 yards, he's not afraid to go down the middle, is he? >> todd: no, too much room for him. he's right here in the slot and a.j. green goes off they'll try to pay a lot of attention to him, corner on him, safety over the top and nobody in the area where michael moore is, good job of joe cox seeing the defense and getting the ball to the open man. >> brad: that was a heck of a catch. moore caught 29 passes last year, right now, he's got five in this game. almost at the 50 yard line. for georgia, first down. cox, loads and goes deep. out there and it's caught. tavarres king for the touchdown. 50 yard strike.
4:26 am
joe cox to tavarres king. >> todd: well, this could be ruthless when you go after a new guy but it's good coaching by mark richt and mike bobo the offensive coordinator. a new corner in the game. the starter out and on the sideline and twice in this drive they've gone after him. once it was incomplete, that time they got the touchdown. >> brad: georgia's going to go for two. joe cox trotted over to the sideline to try to get the call from coach richt. try to make it a seven-point game here. used his tight end aron wright once tonight. he's in the lineup. a.j. green will fly out to the right. moore has been a big part of the offense, down there and he's in motion. two-point conversion for georgia. cox, throws and it is caught. by moore.
4:27 am
>> todd: this guy doesn't drop anything. >> brad: i'm telling you. flag down. it's a holding call. you can get more killer penalties? that one erases two points off the board. so, now we'll kick it, i'm sure. >> todd: even though you still would rather have the seven-point lead the reason you kick it now, your two-point play is designed to gain three yards, designed from part of of the field where you get an extra point. center looks on in
