You might remember Georgia’s first touchdown against Florida back in their 2007 meeting for what happened after the score:

Georgia Celebrates After TD Against Florida – 2007

Mark Richt told his team prior to the game that he wanted them to earn an excessive celebration penalty after their first score. The motivational tactic drew a pair of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties — and the ire of UF coach Urban Meyer — but it also worked. The Bulldogs won the game 42-30.

The following year, Meyer got his revenge. During the final minute of a 49-10 Gator waxing of the Dawgs, Meyer used his last two timeouts. The message from Meyer to Richt: “You’ll get out of this arena when I let you out.”

Now that scab’s been picked by Georgia fullback Alexander Ogletree by way of — surprise, surprise — Twitter.

Ogletree tweeted yesterday morning:

“Think we should rush the field first touchdown … fans and all!”

That message has since been removed. At least one Gator — sarcastically — supported Ogletree’s message. Defensive tackle Omar Hunter said:

“They should (rush the field). I would enjoy that. It would be fun. It’s good for the game. I love it.”

Don’t expect Richt’s players to rush the field after Georgia’s first touchdown. Once was enough.

Georgia should worry about playing defense, as shown in the UT game, their defense is suspect at best! Expect to see lots of rushes from both teams, that's not news. But look for Richt to pull all the punches! That's what it will take, in my opinion. Half back passes, reverses,flea flickers, fake punts, on side kick to start the game-Richt needs to bring a full bag of tricks, a la-Les Miles, if he wants to win this game. They will not be able to line up and rush it down Fla.'s throat.
