The Daily Dawg Caller UGA football and the runaway horse & buggy

I was researching how Georgia was scheduled to play Texas in Austin in 1901—a game that never happened—when I came upon this crazy story I had never heard before. Involving head coach Billy Reynolds and two players, the runaway buggy incident happened four days prior to Georgia’s 1901 season opener against South Carolina.

From the October 9, 1901, edition of The Savannah Morning News:

Fwiw, Reynolds, who has been recognized as the originator of spring practice at Georgia, left the school in 1903 for the business world. He eventually became VP of the company that originally manufactured Wesson cooking oil.

As for Hill and Strickland, although there’s record of both attending school that year, I found the runaway horse & buggy incident as the final time they are associated with Georgia football.

Would it surprise you to know, MSST is the BEST offense....

....Texas has faced this year BY FAR??

MSU: 71st ppg / 78th ypg / 46th pass ypg
UTSA: 105th / 67th / 45th
CSU: 107th / 86th / 102nd
ULM: 105th / 127th / 130th
OK: 96th / 125th / 123rd
MICH: 102nd / 119th / 131st

For reference, Dawgs rank: 35th / 28th / 9th

6 games into the season and the worst team in the SEC is the best offense they have faced, by far. Juat something to consider.

To be clear, I'll probably say this 50 times this week....I have no idea how this game will go. I could see the Dawgs winning or the Dawgs getting embarrassed. And I'm not trying to create false hope. Just pointing out something that seems pertinent.

Carson Beck Legacy Game™️

I’m calling my shot, The Carson Beck legacy game™️ is upon us. I know he’s looked bad in spots, I know our team is not clicking. It doesn’t matter, this weekend Beck will be dialed in. Calm, cool and collected. On top of that. we are due four quarters of good football and Beck will be leading the charge. Bobo will be locked in, calling a masterclass we haven’t seen since Monken. I think it will be reminiscent of last years Tennessee game. Properly welcoming Texas to the SEC. Don’t be surprised when the Dawgs cover, don’t be surprised when all our rival fanbases start crying about us again and scanning the Clarke county records for a noise complaint they can use to divide us. We will break their will. Dawgs 41-Texas 24

Insider Note Kayden Mingo

Login to view embedded media I mentioned last week I liked where UGA sits with 4 star guard Kayden Mingo and that continues to be the case. Mingo announced yesterday a final four of UGA, PSU, Wake Forrest, and VT. A commitment is date is set for November 1st.

UGA’s addition of new assistant coach Anthony Goins has been big in this recruitment. Goins has a lot of northeast recruiting ties from his time at Boston College. I still believe Penn State is Georgia’s biggest competition in this race. Wake Forrest has ties to Mingo’s coach and VT has been a dark horse in this race as well. One interesting note here is UGA did get the final visit before a decision…..
