Not losing sleep over it WGDawg/PeterBuck...I just know Mason starts off slow b/c he wants to hold onto the ball too long. This is probably due to his fear of INTs. Look at the last two games of last season again. You'll see it.

Decent front seven (CU) + (Decent to Okay line play (UGA) + delayed QB release (UGA)) = Slow start and cause for cautious optimism.

We were in every game thanks in large part to Aaron Murray and he's gone. Mason struggled against a subpar GT team and and an Nebraska. Not saying he won't be great. Just not ready to crown him Murray yet either. I'm just practicing a little cautious optimism.

Now if CMB does what I expect him to do and coaches him up to fix the issues he saw last season then personally I feel like there is not a game we can't win and win big but I'm not quite ready to go shouting it from the roof tops.

the hell are you talking about? Nobody on earth is crowning him the next murray. Everybody realizes if he's half as good as murray we should be grateful. There's no reason to doubt Mason either though. He threw for basically 300 yards a game the last 2, and if not for crappy support against Nebraska he's 2-0. He also led us down from 20-0 on the road in his first start. That's gutsy. And if you were questioning his talent..he didn't shatter state of GA passing records in HS by accident. Mason can play.

Nobody is shouting anything from the rooftops (except firewind). I don't think hardly anyone expects us to go undefeated.

All I'm saying is that I don't think Clemson will be all that tough of a matchup. I'm 10 times more worried about SC the next game than I am Clemson.

Personally, I didn't think he held the ball too long. Looked to me like he was going through progressions (something Murray had problems with for 4 years) because his first and second options were not open. Which wasn't surprising since his 1st and 2nd options were probably walk on's who had no business on the field.
