Stafford to Green on a game winning catch in the 4th quarter for a second week in a row. If anything, the '08 Dawgs keep things interesting / exciting. These 3 wins in a row over Auburn equal the longest win streak we have had over the Tigers since 80-82 (the Walker years).

DawgChat Poster, BoDontKnowHerschel added this statistical insight:

Green has 51 catches for 887 yards to this point...needs 118 vs GT to break the all-time UGA single season record for yardage. Game winning TD's in last two games vs UK and AU and a long TD that was a back breaker vs LSU...should be first team all-SEC for sure.

Green's total yards already rank him 4th all-time behind Hines Ward(900 yards in 1996), Brice Hunter(970 yards in 1993) and Terrence Edwards(1004 yards in 2002). Green passed Andre Hastings(860 yards in 1992) and Reggie Brown(860 yards in 2004) during the AU game.

Stafford has 2802 passing yards so he needs 198 vs GT for 3000. His current passing yardage ranks #5 all time for a season behind only Eric Zeier in 1993(3525 yards), Zeier in 1994(3396 yards), David Greene in 2003 (3307 yards) and Greene in 2002 (2924 yards).. During the AU game, Stafford surpassed Quincy Carter(2713 in 1999), Mike Bobo(2751 in 1997) and David Greene's 2001 season(2789 yards).

Moreno currently has 1244 rushing and 255 yards receiving so one yard from 1500 in total offense. His rushing total is 90 yards less than his total last year of 1334 and currently ranks 8th for a single season in UGA history. Knowshon passed Tim Worley(1216 yards in 1988) during the AU game.

The top 7 single season rushing totals in UGA history:

Herschel(1981) - 1891 yards
Herschel(1982) - 1752 yards
Herschel(1980) - 1616 yards
Garrison Hearst(1992) - 1594 yards
Moreno(2007) - 1334 yards
Musa Smith(2002) - 1324 yards
Willie McClendon(1978) - 1312 yards

KM 2008 -1244 and counting

    While we didn’t meet the high expectations set at the begining of this year, we could still end strong! We need Stafford and Moreno back to finish the drill behind a healthy deep o-line in 2009. Don’t go to the NFL, come back one more season.
