I thought it was clear I was referring to 2014 UGA vs FSU 2013. Sorry if that wasn't clear.


It is clear going back and rereadin, again, miss communication on my part.

As for the DL, I give the nod to UGA this year over FSU last year. They returned ZERO starters on their DL from 2012 to 2013. Not really fair to compare how they ended up doing vs how we are going to start, IMO

That's why it was so impressive what Pruitt was able to do.

And we returned essentially zero starters at RB from 2011 to 2012, but obviously 2012 was better. The whole comparison was centered around Clemson...how Pruitt/FSU did against Clemson comparing to how we might do this year. FSU played Clemson midway through the season last year, we have them game 1. FSU's DL in October was almost surely better than ours will be to open. That's not a knock on us by any means either, but Jernigan is a gamechanger plain and simple. Guys like that don't just grow on trees, and we currently don't have anyone like that.

Now, if you want to compare FSU in November of last year and us in November of this year, sure I can see that the DLs would be equivalent, we've got talent for sure. I'm just not sold on it being in midseason form in the opener.

FSU had experienced D line guys who were also highly rated recruits replacing drafted guys. Plus, they had just changed defenses.
