Congratulations Coach Martinez!

ATHENS - Georgia Bulldogs defensive coordinator Willie Martinez as been selected as National Coordinator of the Week by Rivals.com in recognition of his efforts in Gerogia’s season-opening 35-14 win over Oklahoma State.

The Bulldog defense held the OSU offense to just 70 yards rushing and sacked quarterback Bobby Reid five times. The Cowboys also were limited to just three successful third down conversions in 13 attempts, and were o-for-3 on fourth down attempts.

OSU held the ball for 23 minutes, 31 seconds. Georgia’s time of possession, meanwhile, was 36:29.

Georgia is tied for 32nd in rushing defense and tied for 39th in scoring defense after one game.

Martinez is in his seventh season with Georgia. This is his third season as the Bulldogs’ defensive coordinator.
