After defeating Georgia Tech 42-10, the University of Georgia picked up commitment No. 30 Saturday night from a prospect that just recently emerged on the Bulldogs’ radar. Defensive back Kennar Johnson (Clermont, Fla./Mississippi Gulf Coast) took his official visit to Georgia this weekend, and before he left, he decided that he wanted to play in Athens next fall.
“I just committed,” Johnson said. “I committed at Mark Richt’s house in front of his whole family. They were all excited about it.”
The 6-foot-3, 190-pound defensive back chose Georgia over offers from Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Florida, West Virginia, Iowa State, South Alabama, Middle Tennessee, Minnesota and Memphis. He told DawgNation earlier this week that he had received the offer from Georgia over the summer. Over the weekend, he realized he had found his future home.

After a tough, season-ending, playoff loss Friday night, ESPN 150 linebacker Reuben Foster (Auburn, Ala./Auburn) made the trip up to Athens with friends and former high school teammates Joe Sanders (LaGrange, Ga./Troup) and Christian Cumberlander (LaGrange, Ga./Jireh Prep). Foster had a familiar face waiting for him inside Sanford Stadium for the Georgia Tech-Georgia game.
“I came up [Saturday] to spend time with my brother Tray Matthews (Newnan, Ga./Newnan) and to get back cool with the Georgia staff and see how everything is going,” Foster said. “It seems like it is going great and they are on a roll.”

ATHENS, Ga. -- It took Georgia only four plays and a little over a minute to get on the board Saturday. From there, things seemed to get easier as the Bulldogs blew out archrival Georgia Tech 42-10 inside Sanford Stadium on Saturday.

With the loss, Georgia Tech has now dropped four straight to the Bulldogs and 11 of the past 12 meetings in this series.
It was over when: Georgia's offense scored two early touchdowns in the first quarter, but the game really got out of hand when Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray found wide receiver Rhett McGowan for an 11-yard touchdown pass with just under three minutes left in the first half to make it 28-3 Bulldogs.
Game ball goes to: Senior safety Bacarri Rambo had quite the farewell outing in Athens. He was making plays all over the field for the Bulldogs and forced two fumbles on Georgia Tech's first drive of the game. He also sucked all of Georgia Tech's momentum out on his second strip when he took the ball away from running back Robert Godhigh at Georgia's 1-yard line and returned it 49 yards to help set up the Bulldogs' second touchdown. He also grabbed an interception on a deep pass toward the end zone by Yellow Jackets quarterback Vad Lee that helped set up the Bulldogs' fourth touchdown of the first half.
Game ball 2 goes to: Murray had another solid day chucking the football. He was taken out late in the game when the score was out of hand, but he completed 14 of 17 passes for 215 yards and had two touchdown passes. After just two passes in the first quarter, Murray eclipsed the 3,000-yard passing mark for the season, making him the first SEC player to pass for 3,000 yards in three consecutive seasons.
Stat of the game: Georgia Tech's defense has really struggled this season, but it wasn't just the 42 points and the 379 yards given up on Saturday that made it painfully obvious. It was the fact that Georgia did all that relatively quickly, possessing the ball for just 20:03 minutes compared to Georgia Tech's 39:57 time of possession.
Stat of the game 2: While Georgia put up the points, the Yellow Jackets did pretty well in the yards category. Behind 306 rushing yards, Georgia Tech outgained the Bulldogs 426-379.
Stat of the game 3: Heading into the game, Georgia Tech had recorded an interception in 10 consecutive games, which was the longest streak in the FBS this season. The Yellow Jackets' streak ended Saturday.
What it means for Georgia: With the win, the Bulldogs are undefeated at home for the first time since 2003; next week in the SEC championship game, they will play for a spot in the Discover BCS National Championship Game. Next week is basically a semifinal for the big game. This will mark the Bulldogs' second straight trip to the SEC title game.
What it means for Georgia Tech: Despite Saturday's rout, the Yellow Jackets are still headed to the ACC championship game next week to play Florida State. The Yellow Jackets clinched the Coastal Division last week with a win over Duke. Miami self-imposed a postseason ban for the second straight year, making the Hurricanes ineligible for the ACC title game. North Carolina is also ineligible. The Yellow Jackets are also bowl-eligible for the 16th consecutive season, which is the fourth-longest streak in the country.

GEORGIA TECH AT NO. 3 GEORGIA
Saturday, Noon
Sanford Stadium, Athens, Ga.
ESPN
Records: Georgia 10-1 (7-1 SEC), Georgia Tech 6-5 (5-3 ACC)
Last week: Georgia beat Georgia Southern 45-14, Georgia Tech beat Duke 42-24
What’s the Story?: No. 3 Georgia needs one more win to all but ensure that next week’s SEC championship game is for a spot in the BCS championship game. That win will have to come in Saturday’s game against in-state rival Georgia Tech -- in the final home game Georgia’s seniors will play between Sanford Stadium’s storied hedges. Victory over the Yellow Jackets means an enormous buildup to next week’s game in Atlanta. A defeat would be one of the most devastating losses in Mark Richt’s tenure as Georgia’s coach.

ATHENS, Ga. -- If Georgia wants next Saturday’s SEC championship game -- possibly a matchup between the third-ranked Bulldogs (10-1) and the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide (10-1) to determine which team plays for a BCS title -- to truly mean something, it still has a hurdle to clear.
A loss to rival Georgia Tech (6-5) on Saturday wouldn’t remove Georgia's chance to win a conference championship, but it would rank among the most devastating defeats in Mark Richt’s tenure because it would knock the Bulldogs out of national championship contention.
Georgia Tech has lost just once since dumping defensive coordinator Al Groh at midseason. So the Bulldogs cannot afford to look past the Yellow Jackets -- and Richt has made that point clear throughout the week.

New commit Rumph fills sizable WR need

The commitment of juco wideout Jonathon Rumph (Cayce, S.C./Holmes Community College) to Georgia is a big addition to the Bulldogs’ receiving corps -- pun intended. Georgia does not have a returning receiver on the team now or committed in the Class of 2013 who resembles the 6-foot-5, 215-pound Rumph. He is a large target -- something this recruiting class was missing.
As it stands, Georgia has commitments from wide receivers Reggie Davis (Tallahassee, Fla./Lincoln), Uriah LeMay (Matthews, N.C./Butler), and Rico Johnson (Swainsboro, Ga./Swainsboro). Athletes Tramel Terry (Goose Creek, S.C./ Goose Creek) and J.J. Green (Kingsland, Ga./Camden County) will play multiple roles on the offense as well, including slot receiver. Aside from LeMay, who stands at 6-2, this group of receivers is not known for size, but rather speed and technique. Rumph will be the wideout who creates the most mismatches with opposing corners. He is not fast like Davis or Terry, but in a red-zone situation he will present a nice option.
Georgia signed only one wide receiver in the Class of 2012, and Blake Tibbs redshirted this season. The coaching staff knew it would have to bring in some playmakers with the next class.

A day after adding a cornerback with the size coveted by secondary coach Scott Lakatos, the Georgia Bulldogs gained a commitment from a wide receiver with the size any college program would love to have. Juco wideout Jonathon Rumph, at 6-foot-5 and 215 pounds, announced his commitment to Georgia tonight at Spires Recreation Center in Cayce, S.C., his childhood stomping grounds.
“I chose Georgia because I love the atmosphere there, the fans, and how the coaching staff is filled with real people,” Rumph said. “They have my best interests at heart for me in regards to my career and my path to becoming a quality young man.”
Rumph chose Georgia over offers from Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Texas Tech, among others. In nine games this season, Rumph caught 44 passes for 575 yards and 3 touchdowns.
With the upcoming graduation of Georgia’s Marlon Brown and Tavarres King, Rumph sees an opportunity to make an impact in Athens.
“The situation at receiver is such that I feel I can come in, work my way up the depth chart, and have a good chance at earning a starting position,” Rumph said. “With my size, the pro-style scheme at Georgia is a perfect fit because it puts me in 1-on-1 matchups where I can be a big help to the offense.”
He also likes the potential for success at Georgia.

ATHENS, Ga. – Georgia’s recruiting class for 2013 is ranked No. 10 in the new class rankings released Wednesday and with a few key commitments, the Bulldogs could climb the list even higher.
Georgia has had four classes ranked sixth or better in the last five years, the only exception being the 2010 class. That group of signees was small and only three members from that class are starters today. Granted, Alec Ogletree, Jarvis Jones and Kenarious Gates are three of the Bulldogs’ top players, but the 2010 class and the 2010 season left much to be desired. Georgia finished that year 6-7, Mark Richt’s only losing season at Georgia.
The following year Richt and his staff rededicated themselves to the recruiting trail and landed what he called the “Dream Team.” The Class of 2011 was ranked No. 6 in the nation and had an instant impact as Georgia won the SEC East and played in the SEC title game. The two year turnaround from the losing season to being the division champions removed the hot seat talk that had hounded Richt and in 2011 he signed the No. 5 recruiting class in the country.

Georgia has done its part in the Eastern Division. The Bulldogs (10-1, 7-1 SEC) locked up a spot in the SEC championship game two weeks ago with a 38-0 rout of Auburn.
Now, Alabama (10-1, 6-1) can do the same in the Western Division by taking care of Auburn this Saturday. The Tigers are winless in the SEC.
Alabama and Georgia have never met in the SEC championship game. If they both win this weekend, their Dec. 1 matchup in Atlanta not only would be for an SEC title, but the winner would land a spot in the Discover BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 7.
Should Auburn upset Alabama and a three-way tie occur in the West with Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M all having two losses, LSU would win the tiebreaker. Here's how: They all would be 1-1 against each other, so Alabama would be eliminated because both of the Tide's losses would have come to Western Division teams. That would leave LSU and Texas A&M, and LSU would get the nod based on its head-to-head victory against Texas A&M on Oct. 20.
LSU (9-2, 5-2) travels to Arkansas on Friday, while Texas A&M (9-2, 5-2) faces Missouri at home Saturday. The only way the Aggies could get to the SEC championship game is for Auburn to beat Alabama and for Arkansas to beat LSU.

In a season where there isn't one player who stands head and shoulders above the rest of the field, it is easy to see why someone like Texas A&M Aggies quarterback Johnny Manziel (aka Johnny Football) would have a strong candidacy for the Heisman Trophy.
Manziel has posted some impressive numbers, including setting the freshman quarterback record for rushing yards and total offense on his way to becoming the first freshman to pass for at least 3,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a single season.
Having given Manziel his due, upon closer examination it becomes clear that he isn't even the best Heisman quarterback candidate in the SEC.
That honor belongs to Georgia Bulldogs passer Aaron Murray, and it really isn't even close. Read the full story here.

With Tuesday’s addition of ESPN 300 athlete Brendan Langley (Marietta, Ga./Kell) to the commitment list, Georgia has secured its top target at cornerback for the 2013 class. It has been a battle since the spring for the 6-foot-1, 186-pound prospect, with programs like Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee all fighting for Langley. Getting Langley was a priority for the Bulldogs’ coaching staff, who heavily pursued the four-star recruit even after he committed to the Gamecocks.
With his size and athletic ability, Langley should be able to come in and help Georgia in several ways. He is a playmaker with the ball in his hands, and has made just as big of an impact on offense at Kell this season as he has on defense. That could continue in Athens.
Langley was sold early on being utilized in a similar manner to former Georgia standout Brandon Boykin, and that would be a smooth transition for the two-way standout. With only three scholarship cornerbacks returning and a void in the return game, Langley has a chance to contribute next fall.

Exactly one week after losing juco cornerback Steven Nelson (Warner Robins, Ga./College of Sequoias), the University of Georgia replaced him on the commitment list by pulling off a switch with ESPN 300 athlete Brendan Langley (Marietta, Ga./Kell). The 6-foot-1, 186-pound prospect had been verbally committed to South Carolina since August, but took four trips to Athens during the three months that followed. Langley announced today that he has decided to flip to the Bulldogs.
A month after he committed to South Carolina, Georgia was able to get Langley on campus two weeks in a row, where two different coaching staffs let him know he would have a chance to play in Athens. Head basketball coach Mark Fox informed Langley that he would have an opportunity to contribute to the hoops team as well, something the Gamecocks did not discuss seriously.

Tom Hauck/ESPNHSCB Brendan Langley (Marietta, Ga./Kell) says friend and teammate Quincy Mauger never stopped recruiting him to join him as a UGA commit.
"I just felt more comfortable at Georgia."
He received his first two scholarship offers from Georgia and South Carolina back on Valentine’s Day. The Georgia coaching staff told Langley throughout the 2013 recruiting cycle that he has been their top target on the board at cornerback. The Bulldogs led with the athlete for much of the spring before some miscommunication dropped them further down the list. Nevertheless, Georgia didn’t let up its pursuit, even after his commitment to the Gamecocks.
Langley told DawgNation that he had silently committed to Georgia last Thursday. On Tuesday, it became public news.
He added: "I am pretty sure people already saw it coming."
Teammate and safety Quincy Mauger has been selling Langley on joining him in Athens since Mauger himself committed to Georgia in July.
“He is pushing me pretty hard, but he knows the whole situation, so he is supportive of anything I choose,” Langley said after his third visit to Georgia on Nov. 3. “Basically -- and I kind of like it -- he tells me I have to do what is right for me and that I will be successful wherever I go. Then why not be successful with your best friend?”
The chance to join several other commitments he had grown close to, an opportunity to make an early impact on both sides of the ball, and the allure of playing for his childhood favorite in-state program proved too much for Langley to dismiss. His addition gives the Bulldogs a secondary class that includes two ESPN 150 prospects and two ESPN 300 prospects.
With ESPN 150 cornerback Shaq Wiggins (Tyrone, Ga./Sandy Creek), ESPN 300 athlete Reggie Wilkerson (Citra, Fla./North Marion) and Langley, Georgia now has three cornerback commitments rated as four-star prospects. Langley has the size that secondary coach Scott Lakatos has coveted since he came to Georgia, and gives the Bulldogs 28 commitments overall for the 2013 class.

Georgia has won SEC championships under Mark Richt, played in BCS bowl games and been a fixture in the Top 25 polls.
But controlling its own destiny this late in the season in the national championship race?
This is new ground for the Bulldogs.
As junior receiver Rhett McGowan tweeted Saturday night following Stanford’s upset of Oregon, the playoffs start now.
Good luck in getting Georgia coach Mark Richt to look past the first round of those playoffs, which begins Saturday at home against Georgia Tech.
