And Another one- Georgia, what are you expecting this year

We should be a lot better than last year. If the OL can be an average SEC unit, it could be a really good season.

Defense should be top 10 with almost everyone coming back. Offense we won't know until we see how our OL plays and if Eason has matured.

9-10 wins, should win the East barring Florida or Tennessee being a playoff contender, which I don't see happening.

If we don't meet that, questions need to be asked.

what are your Honest expectations of where your football team is,

on the right track no doubt. Rivals may want to keep their head in teh sand regarding "talent" but we were in WOEFULLY bad shape at many critical positions the past few years. Just look at the '13 and '14 signing classes which are/were supposed to be our upperclassmen last year/this year. We simply had a lot of work to do, and Kirby looks to be doing that nicely.

Winning the east is a realistic goal. We aren't making the playoffs or winning the SEC but winning the east is very attainable.

are you happy with Kirby

---

how could we not be? You can't judge a guy after his first year ever as a head coach. In Richt's first year as a head coach he won 8 games and has several clock blunders that directly led to 2 losses. The next year we went 13-1 and finished #3. Guys learn a lot from year to year and I don't think Kirby will be any different.

How is your QB situation

---

Very good. If Eason has anywhere near the normal projected improvement from a True Fresh - Sophomore year we'll be in great shape. And behind him we have a guy that could push for PT at a great, great number of schools across the country. We're in very good hands at QB for the next several years.

strengths

RB and defense. Our defense returns just about everyone and has a lot of upperclassmen, and of course we have the best returning RB situation in the league.

Weakness

---

WR is a ? but was a weakness last year and will count on a lot of young guys. DL was extremely young last year but did alright, hopefully they can step up. And of course OL was atrocious last year but added some big and talnted guys so we'll see how that goes.


All in all 10 wins and east is perfectly within reason.

Stay off the troll. This doesn't concern you. Yours time will come tomorrow.

why would the soft little team with the sharp uniforms be exempt from getting trolled?

I see an opportunity to nab 9-10 wins and the East crown, but as everyone else has stated that all relies on the OL improving and Eason progressing. With the current state of the East and Georgia's talent level we should always be at that minimum
W-L.

Just goes to show you that if you have 5 star talent in the skill positions, but 290 pound pussies in the trenches then you're gonna get your shite packed often. Hopefully Kirby continues to reverse the trend Richt had with linemen

So I have noticed several posters state OL is iffy. Was the recruiting just not that good under Richt and now Kirby? Honest question as I always thought Richt recruited a pretty good OL

---

OL recruiting was a disaster for the last 4-5 years of the Richt regime. TBD on Kirby but it looks super promising. The problem is that Kirby's OL recruits will be freshmen.

UGA could legitimately have 2 true freshmen OL starters this year, possibly at both tackles.

The last few years under Richt our OL recruiting was an absolute disaster and that's about the best way to put it. Early in his tenure we would typically sign a few "highly rated" (mid to high 4*) guys, some of which were solid but a lot of which suffered injuries, transferred, or were just busts. His last few years though it seemed he didn't really place a lot of emphasis on OL (one of donnan's major undoings) and we're now paying the price.

Kirby and Pittman are doing the best they can but when you don't have much to work with it's tough. The OL recruiting beginnign last year has REALLY picked up, but it'll likely take a year or 2 to really see the dividends.
