Richt is an evil genius ... hopefully

You will hear from commentators every so often during a game that a team was setting up a particular play for a certain moment in the game. Usually it is a wheel route or a deep pass with a wide receiver after the offense has lulled the cornerback into playing the run.
Is it possible that the University of Georgia has been holding out on offense all season long in the hopes that the Aaron Murray and company can switch from its vanilla-look to a double chocolate ship swirl with nuts and sprinkles-look for the SEC Championship game? Is it possible that, because the defense was so good, offensive coordinator Mike Bobo went to strictly a run-based offense in most second halves this year because the game was in hand? Aaron Murray has looked hot the last few first halves of play, only to mainly hand the ball off and grind the clock in the third and fourth quarters to seal a win.

Georgia has done just enough in many of its victories this season, seemingly taking its foot off of the gas pedal in victories over Tennessee, Mississippi, Mississippi State and Georgia Tech. The only game this year that saw the Dawgs really put the hammer down was the Auburn game, in front of countless recruits, and Georgia was truly impressive with Murray and the ground attack against the Tigers. You wonder if maybe this was all a strategy. If maybe Richt has been pulling a rope-a-dope, waiting for the LSU Tigers to let their guard down when all of a sudden he will tell Bobo to unleash the dogs, or dawgs if you will.

Maybe Georgia goes and gets blown out by 24 against the best team in the nation. But with LSU all but guaranteed a spot in the BCS championship game, Georgia should treat this as its BCS championship game and pull out all of the stops. Maybe Les Miles doesn’t want to show his hand to Alabama or Oklahoma State. Or maybe Mark Richt has been planning for this game all season long by not revealing just what this unit can do. If the offense matches the defense’s performance, the Dawgs might just escape Saturday with a victory.
