Lambert named SEC Offensive Player of the Week

It stands for “run-pass options”, and it’s what has the Bulldogs excited about – and their opponents concerned about – their offensive potential this season. “I think he’ll go out there and do a pretty good job”. Keith Marshall has 103 yards and three touchdowns and averages 5.4.

It was the kind of afternoon Lambert never experienced during his season as U.Va.’s starting quarterback a year ago, before he transferred to Georgia in the offseason.

Georgia quarterback Greyson Lambert passes against the South Carolina Gamecocks during the first half at Sanford Stadium Saturday night.

“Everything came together in that game, in all phases, when it comes to this offense and what we can control”, Lambert said of South Carolina. We’re not really at our peak. “Javon Allen is going to have to make some plays. But just seeing how things can shape up, it’s encouraging”. But the reality is he still will have much to prove against Alabama in two weeks and in road games against Tennessee, Florida and Auburn. The Southern Jaguars ground game is averaging 170 yards per contest, and Lenard Tillery leads the way with 284 yards and five touchdowns.

Fresh off a 52-20 drubbing of South Carolina, the Bulldogs (3-0) are riding high and have achieved a state of “Pass Nirvana,” a rare segmented bliss most red-bearers thought had left with the departure of the last No. 11.

Lambert spoke on the same day that two other SEC programs, Auburn and South Carolina, benched their starting quarterbacks.

Coach Dawson Odums was asked at his weekly news conference Tuesday if the experience of playing against Louisiana Tech’s Kenneth Dixon, whom Odums called one of the best running backs in the country, helped prepare Southern for Chubbs. “We absolutely don’t want to get away from running the football”. “We’re also struggling on offense a bit, but we certainly made Georgia look awfully good”.

Bobo was Georgia’s offensive coordinator for eight seasons before becoming head coach at Colorado State last December. We know he’ll be tough to hem up. “We didn’t invent it, by any means”. Johns, off to a good start himself this year, congratulated Lambert for not only breaking the NCAA completion record, but another stat he knew Lambert would like. They still do now.

“Any time you get a chance to play close to one of the areas you recruit in it gives you to continue to build a brand”. He wasn’t ideal against the Gamecocks, receiving a negative mark for missing Malcolm Mitchell coming across underneath on the opening possession when he instead threw high for Blazevich in the back of the end zone for his lone incompletion. The wide receiver is third on the team in catches and yards (6-for-69).

He completed 96 percent of his passes, a record for a quarterback with at least 20 attempts. “If they stack the box, we’ve got answers; and if they play off, we’ve got answers. They have the ability, just not the experience”.
