This is the best UGA team I've seen in my lifetime

The early 80's UGA teams were not unlike the 2010 Auburn team...a once-in-a-generation player taking a team on bis back to a title, but this UGA team is different. They have an attitude and a culture that I haven't seen from Georgia in 40+ years of watching SEC football. Speed and ferocity on defense and a stable of backs to rotate and keep the momentum going.

We are amazed as well, Smart has been worth the change. Finally it appears we have the right coach and this is only the beginning.

You're talking about Buck Belue...right.

Better wait until after the SECCG before making such a bold pronouncement.

2012 was better. Murray and Gurley

Difficult to say. Their division is so much worse than it used to be.

Agreed. He has a talented, physical and motivated team. He seems to be recruiting very well too.
Kirby is poised to do great things in Athens.

Maybe the starters, although IMO that is debatable. The 2012 team only had 68 scholarship players and zero depth on defense though, which is why Bama ran through them like "shite through a tin horn" in the second half of the SEC Championship Game.

Agreed, hands down the best UGA team I've seen since the 80's. They have a chance to do something special.

He didn't predict we would beat Alabama. He said it is the best Georgia team he has seen. Right now it is the best, most evenly talented team I remember, and I remember the 1980 team.

Seriously, though, I can't believe how good this team has been. I don't know what to do with my hands. I don't know how to handle life. Every day my brain wracks between happy, worried and expecting the Eastern Sky to split.
Someone help me.

Agree, I think this is the year they run the table and win it all. They are due.

The East is terrible but UGA is elite. Big talented lines, great skill positions, talented qb.

I dont understand. Kirby was just a coordinator in title at Bama and Saban really ran the defense so how could he be coaching the best UGA team in your lifetime?

We'll see in aboout 4 weeks how good we really are. Outside of ND, which we won by one point, and maybe Mississippi State, we haven't played a team worthy of being on the same field. But we have taken care of business and won all of them by at least 3 possessions or more.
Still not ready to crown a damn thing. Could be just another 2012, 2002, or 2007... Close but no cigar.

I’m reserving judgement until they play a team with a pulse. Mississippi State would be undefeated if they played in the EAST and any other team from the west named Auburn, Alabama, LSU

Sure but how can you say they are the best you have seen in your life when previous teams had to play good to great squads in their division? It may just be they are as good as before but are playing much weaker competition.
