Post-Spring Previews: Georgia
Garnet And Black Attack —
... Houston, who is suspended for the first two games, when they play us. If Ladi Ajiboye plays in this game, I think we have a slight advantage here. While I like Atkins and Owens a bit more than Ajiboye and Nathan Pepper, UGA lacks the sack threats at end that we have in Clifton Geathers and Cliff Matthews.
Verdict: Slight advantage South Carolina
Linebackers
UGA and Carolina each return one of the nation's best linebackers in Rennie Curran and Eric Norwood. UGA, however, also returns ...

Class of 2009: LB Tahj Jones
And The Valley Shook —
... Jones was a very productive player in Louisiana high school football, earning Class 5A All-State honors. His highlights are pretty impressive as well. He is a sideline-to-sideline linebacker who the coaches will stick on the outside and tell him to make plays from the middle of the field to the sideline. He reminds me a fair bit of Rennie Curran or Ryan Baker, both of whom are smallish but fast and aggressive linebackers. Curran is an All-SEC guy and Baker is a very solid young reserve for LSU. The problem is that as a ...

Linebackers and Cornerbacks: In 2005, Georgia was loaded at LB, with Jarvis Jackson, Danny Verdun-Wheeler and Tony Taylor spearheading the charge. At CB were Tim Jennings, DeMario Minter, and Paul Oliver... all fantastic players.
In 2009, all-everything Rennie Curran returns as clearly the best LB, along with Darius Dewberry, ...

There will be no pregame handshake among the Georgia and Oklahoma State football teams before Saturday's game in Stillwater, Okla.

... night and show us what he's learned over the summer. First of all, he's gotta protect this ball, as I think the team that wins the turnover battle will win this game. Second of all, he's gotta figure out some way to spark this offense, at least to the level of getting 17-24 points on the board for us, which should be enough to win unless Georgia scores easy points off turnovers. That means making good reads, throws, and scrambles. And for goodness's sake, Stephen, slide if you see Rennie Curran barrelling down on you when you're scrambling! ...
Georgia Bulldogs 41, South Carolina Gamecocks 37

... It’s also a good thing that Larry Munson retired last year, because, if he had been in the booth for this one, it likely would have caused the Georgia play-by-play announcer to suffer a fatal heart attack. Predictably, the game was decided on a fourth-down play in the final 30 seconds with the Gamecocks trailing by four points and holding the ball on the Bulldogs’ seven yard line when a Garcia pass was batted down by Carolina-killer Rennie Curran. (It’s no wonder Gamecock fans would trade with us to get him ...

Week 3: Georgia Preview

... Georgia really could be sitting at 1-3 or even 0-4 right now. South Carolina probably outplayed Georgia, but could not get that last score to win the game, thanks to Rennie Curran. Arizona State had a chance to beat the Bulldogs, but couldn't quite get over the hump. Arkansas piled up yards by the armload, but collapsed towards the end as the Bulldog defense finally started coming up big. ...

Around the SEC East- Week 5
Red Cup Rebellion —
... LSU? Really? Georgia, quit blaming the excessive celebration penalty for your loss and man up. UGA really fell in my personal power rankings after last week. LSU's D held the Dawg offense to almost nothing until the end of the game. One bright spot for the Georgia D was LB Rennie Curran who had a career high 16 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and a half-sack. ...

Having said all of that...Georgia's defense? Yikes.

Quick Hitters
Track Em Tigers —
... , Craig Stevens, and Eltoro Freeman vs. Rennie Curran – In my opinion Rennie is one of the best LB to ever play at Georgia. He is in almost every play and his motor never stops. He leads the Bulldogs in tackles and quite possibly is the all time leader. He is on almost every defensive award watch list. He is the bright spot on an abysmal defensive unit. While Bynes and Stevens are leading Auburn in tackles, they are not on par with Curran. ...
