Statistically Speaking - Super Bowl Edition
Feb. 1, 2013
by Dave McMahon Super Bowl Sunday! Many fans of the Georgia Bulldogs are also fans of the Atlanta Falcons, so many of you are pretty bummed right now. Despite the Falcons loss, the Ravens and the 49ers matchup looks real good. Both teams have star players and a brand of football that thrills most viewers. But I am not here to talk much about either one of the Harbaugh teams; I am here to talk about the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl as it relates to the Georgia Bulldogs. So for all you passionate fans, here are some more notes, nuggets and tidbits of information all things Georgia Bulldogs, statistically speaking of course. For the most complete information on a specific upcoming game please check out the individual sport and game you are looking for on www.georgiadogs.com and for even more statistical insights you can follow me on twitter @dave_mc_stats. And now for the extra stuff... (I apologize if you do not understand roman numerals since I will be using them, but after all, when in Rome...)
As most of you know already Georgia is the only school that has "three different" Super Bowl Most Valuable Players. Some schools have three MVPs, but the rest have at least one duplicate. Here are the schools with three MVPs.

Individual Rank among all Super Bowl players
Georgia also had a former player that was a head coach in the Super Bowl. Former quarterback John Rauch who led the Bulldogs in the mid-to-late 1940s was also the head coach of Super Bowl II for the Oakland Raiders. They lost that game to Vince Lombardi's Packers (which was also Lombardi's last game as Packers' head coach). Rauch is the all-time leader in win pct by a Raiders' head coach (.798). He was also the head coach after Al Davis and before John Madden (not bad company). Here are former Georgia players that you cheer on in this year's Super Bowl. Dannell Ellerbe played linebacker from 2005 to 2008. After college, Ellerbe signed as a free agent to Baltimore on May 8, 2009. Since then he has wreaked havoc on opposing players. Over the last 4 seasons, he has played 56 games including starting seven of the last ten regular season games. He has 182 career tackles and 5 ½ sacks. In the last playoff game against the New England Patriots, Ellerbe had a big interception thrown by Tom Brady to help seal the victory. But, what he does best in the NFL is tackles and here are his best games in his young career according to tackles.
October 21, 2012 at Texans - 12 tackles In the playoffs, Ellerbe is 2nd on the team in solo tackles with 19, he trails only Ray Lewis. DeAngelo Tyson plays defensive end for the Ravens. He played for the Dawgs from 2008 to 2011. He was a 7th round pick (236th overall) in the 2012 NFL Draft. This season he has played in 10 games, including 2 starts and made 11 tackles and has made another tackle in the postseason as well. Demarcus Dobbs is currently on the injured reserve for the San Francisco 49ers. He is listed as a defensive tackle for the Niners as well as tight end. He played for Georgia from 2007 to 2010. For San Francisco he has played in 24 games and has made 7 career tackles.
