"Hutson Mason is the worst: Georgia lost the game because of him. His ineptitude in throwing the game ending interception should be reason to revoke his scholarship and make him pay Georgia back for five years of free tuition, room and board. Or so folks would have you believe. Never mind that he hadn't thrown an interception since October 4. Or that he leads the SEC in fewest interceptions as well as highest completion percentage. Or that he has the second-highest quarterback ranking in the conference. No, Mason is fated to be written off by short-sighted, angry fans as the guy who cost Georgia the game. There is no mention of how he put the team on his back in the final drive of regulation, moving the offense 69 yards in the final 2:41 of the game by completing five passes, including what should have been the game winner to Malcolm Mitchell. Just as Terrence Edwards is always remembered for missing a catch against Florida -- despite being the Bulldogs' most prolific wide receiver -- Mason's chance at a story-book ending will be forgotten. Everyone will remember the interception."
Disappointed that many UGA fans feel that way about him. Was pretty impressed with Hutson Mason this year. Started off shaky at the beginning of the season when Gurley was carrying the load, but steadily improved and had some good numbers. He seems like a quality type of person, too. Instead of transferring like a lot of people these days, he was loyal to his team and stayed an extra year in school to get a chance at QB. He has some of Murray's talent in the accuracy dept. and ability at getting his team down the field quick when it mattered. At a different school, maybe in the ACC where he might have had a better shot at developing as a QB and starting 2 or 3 years, he probably would have eventually gotten the attention of some pro scouts. Despite his performance, Mason will go down at UGA in perhaps a similar fashion as Tevin Washington at Tech -- a good, solid QB under-appreciated by his fan base.
