Everything is set up for UGA to win the East this year

UT is going to be the prohibitive favorite. UGA is being overlooked and expectations are not a challenge. A new coach brings a new energy which is sometimes the main ingredient missing (see AU 2013, UF 2015). UT is going to choke because, with the rare exception of Bama, when a school is not used to dealing with the pressure of expectations, it rarely works out (see AU 2014).
UGA has the talent, a salty defense and defensive coaching staff, and by all accounts this kid at QB is the real Mccoy, and if Chubb comes back healthy.... Couple that with a very easy schedule (soft road schedule with only Ole Miss and UF as tough games) where they get AU and UT at home

Wouldn't surprise me

I think if Kirby were in year two or three, we'd be considered co-favorite with UTk. But there are just too many unknowns between Kirby being a new HC and Eason being a new QB to say with any level of confidence that we're going to win the division.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if we did but I'm not about to go predicting that we will.

LOLZ. All this means is that they won't.

Nah.

Under Richt? We'd lose one of our first three, reel off 8 or 9 straight, and then lose a close bowl game somewhere in Florida. Under Kirby? We'll see how he manages a team with expectations and a lack thereof over the next few seasons. IMO, Richt just did a shite job of keeping his teams focused and motivated for a full season. Don't think Saban has really had that problem at Bama so we'll see what Kirby is able to bring back home.

Florida will win the east.

In Georgia's favor, Chaney is an excellent coach and will do well with the talented young QB.
Not in Georgia's favor...when was the last time a true Freshman QB won a division title?
For those who were thinking Wuerffel...he redshirted in '92.
Unless I'm missing someone...a True Freshman has never led a team to a division title. This year won't be the first time it happens.

No it isn't.
First year HC (At any level not just at the UGA job)
True Freshmen QB (No matter how talented)
New philosophies on both sides of the ball.
I see several reason that the East does NOT setup for them this year.
I've actually got them coming in at 3rd behind UT and UF.

All Florida needs is decent QB play and they will win the east.

Depends on if you count Tebow as leading the 2006 UF team even though Chris Leak was the usual starter that season.
And given that there's no difference in game experience between a redshirt freshman and a true freshman, Maty Mauk (RFr) for Mizzou in 2013.
Also, Arkansas in 2006 had QB turmoil all year between Mitch Mustain and Casey Dick but was propelled to Atlanta on the legs of Darren McFadden and Felix Jones
Which is to say that just because a true freshman hasn't led a team to Atlanta doesn't mean it can't happen now (not to mention that we also have a JR and a SR QB with playing experience that said true freshman has to beat out first). Honestly, if we don't don't make it I doubt it'll be the offense that is to blame (our DL is razor thin right now with injuries and suspensions)

The defense literally hasn't changed at all (we'd been running Bama's defense under Pruitt and will continue to under Kirby and Tucker) and the offense is still a balanced run-pass approach (and, quite frankly, anything is better than what we had last year under Schottenheimer).

Wait what? So you're telling me that after watching guys like Josh Rosen at UCLA last year and Deshaun Watson at Clemson two years ago, you believe a talented true freshman QB with guys like Nick Chubb and Sony Michel and a veteran OL with solid receivers and TEs is incapable of making it through a quite-frankly not-that-strong East to Atalnta?

That's cute.

That would be exactly what I'm saying.
You won't be in Atlanta this year.

UGA not playing on that shitty field in Tennessee this year is beneficial.
Posted on 5/23/16 at 11:53 am to TailbackU
UGA with a freshman QB will have a tough road.
Posted on 5/23/16 at 11:54 am to TailbackU
Not with a FR QB and new HC.
In fact, I expect them to struggle some what. 8-9 wins

Chaney will lose them a game or two
