Malcolm Mitchell (GA) out for season

Georgia's top receiver, Malcolm Mitchell, tore his ACL during a celebration of a TD by a running back. I love to see players get pumped up and celebrate team success but there is always a danger involved. First TD of the year, Mitchell didn't even score, and his season is done.

They call him the "top receiver" because he is the top returning receiver from last year with 500+ yds and 4 TDs. He was GA's deep threat but they will be ok without him. I do feel bad for the kid, though.

 

Holy shit he pulled a Gus and a Grammatica.

 

Crazy.

 

More embarrassing than "Pulling " your groin.

 

Hate hearing this (unless it's Grammatica - couldn't stand that dude). Dude just wanted to celebrate with his teammate and is out for the year. Brutal.

 

definitely feel bad for him, but i agree Georgia will be ok with out him. In the Clemson game, Malcolm Mitchell did nothing before he got hurt, and Aaron Murray still went 2o-of-29 for 323 yards. Below are the receivers Georgia used vs Clemson (not counting the RBs and FBs who had 67 yards on 4 catches combined)

67 yards on 3 catches -- 6-3/205 junior WR Chris Conley (#2 in TDs last season, as a recruit: #220 on Scout300, offers to Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas Tech, etc)

60 yards on 5 catches -- 6-3/204 junior WR Michael Bennett (#3 in TDs last season, #2 in TDs the season before that, named to Phil Steele 2012 Midseason All-SEC Second Team before tearing his ACL last season)

55 yards on 4 catches -- 5-11/206 RS sophomore WR Justin Scott-Wesley (as a recruit: #226 on the Top247, offers to Georgia, South Carolina, Stanford, and six others, Under Armour All-American, Georgia state champion in the 100 meter dash and back-to-back Georgia state champion in the 200 meter dash)

46 yards on 2 catches -- 5-10/176 senior WR Rantavious Wooten (as a recruit: #186 on Rivals200, #188 on Scout200, offers to LSU, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Miami, Michigan, West Virginia)

18 yards on 1 catch -- 6-5/254 senior TE Arthur Lynch -- One of the country's top 10 returning tight ends in 2012 season receiving yards, caught for 50 yards in the SECCG vs Bama, as a recruit: #2 TE by Rivals, #5 TE by Scout, #7 TE by ESPN, #108 on Scout150, #121 on Rivals150, Under Armour All-America)

10 yards on 1 catch -- 6-6/254 RS sophomore TE Jay Rome (had a 19-yard TD reception in the SECCG vs Bama, as a recruit: #1 TE by ESPN, #3 TE by 247, #4 TE by Scout, #4 TE by Rivals, #18 on ESPN100, #47 on Top247, #56 on Rivals100, #68 on Scout100, Under Armour All-American, offers to Alabama, Florida State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Auburn, Stanford, Cal, Clemson


and Georgia didn't even use:

Losing Malcolm is gonna hurt. By far the best receiver they had. If USCe get them Saturday, there will not be enough fight left in the bulldogs for the tigers to concern themselves with.

 

they moved him to CB last year, remember? quit being stupid, he's not AJ Green or Julio Jones. in his first two years, Mitchell had two 100-yard games (Tennessee, Kentucky). Conley also has two 100-yard yards games, Bennett has one. Georgia has so many talented receivers, and Georgia spreads the ball around them so much, that losing Mitchell isn't a problem

usually works the other way around, i'd much rather face a 3-0 team Georgia team than a 1-2 Georgia team backed into a corner

 

That's Georgia fans and media making the argument, don't be stupid. AJ Green and Julio, bring the extreme stat boy? Doesn't get you any closer to the argument, but it is what you do when you don't have one.

So you also know a lot about the fight and heart of a Mark Richt coached team? I'll stay with my instincts on that one.

 

AJ Green and Julio Jones both stepped into the SEC as freshman and caught for a 1,000 yards. losing somebody like that would hurt. Mitchell is entering his 3rd year at Georgia and has done nothing special.
