Knowshon Moreno's hop over Vince Agnew

Running back Knowshon Moreno was a hot topic of conversation during this week's teleconference with Georgia coach Mark Richt.

Moreno's 18 carry, 168-yard, three-touchdown effort in Saturday's 56-17 win over Central Michigan obviously wowed the sellout crowd at Sanford Stadium, but it was his hurdle of Chippewa safety Vince Agnew to complete a 29-yard run that dropped jaws.

It was a play that Georgia fans will no doubt be talking about for quite a while, but it was one that many in the country watching ESPN did not get to see except for a brief glance during a quick preview of the Bulldogs highlights to come following a commercial break.




Knowshon Moreno's hop over Vince Agnew wasn't the highlight fans thought it should be.When the network did its Top 10 plays, Moreno's highlight was not included. Richt was asked about the omission.
"I think they missed the boat or didn't do their homework or something," Richt said. "Normally they do a good job with that, so it looks like somebody would have noticed that. It didn't make their highlights, but it's going to make ours for a long time."

A representative from ESPN's local online affiliate claimed that FOX did not put the highlight in its highlight package to other networks.

"You're kidding me," Richt said. "OK, so you're throwing FOX under the bus. I threw you under the bus now you're throwing FOX under the bus. That's the way it works."

That's when Dean Legge, who covers UGA for a Web site which is owned by FOX, chimed in.

"They had cameras so they could pull it off the satellite," Legge said.

Richt laughed.

"OK, so maybe it wasn't that good of a play," he chuckled. "I thought it was pretty good."

David Paschall, sports writer for the Chattanooga Times Free Press then asked, "So is ESPN back under the bus?"

Said Richt, "I guess they're both under the bus now

Another showboat move against a weak defense, but what has he done against a REAL defense? He's averaged under 4.0 per carry, less than average!
