MM would've blown his MCL with that kick.

Clemson beat us by 3 at Clemson with their best team in 24 seasons. With a banged up Gurley and losing Mitchell after the first drive on offense.

Richt has lost one OOC game in Athens in his career and it was a fluky arse 3 point loss in the rain where we blew a 14 pt half time lead.

Unless it pours down rain or we suddenly rehire Willie Martinez, we will not lose this game.

Do you really believe Grantham had never seen any game film of Clemson and/or didn't know what they'd do offensively?



Prior to spring of 2013? No, I don't think he had. Why the frick would he have? We'd never played them with him here, so the only film he'd have watched of clemson is against an opponent of ours like GT or someone, and then he's scouting our opponent, not clemson. So my point stands...there is no logical reason why he would have ever broken down any clemson film prior to us playing them. Whereas Pruitt just did it last fall. What abotu that do you disagree with?

What does that have to do with anything? He's the DC, I would hope that after a week he'd have an idea. Your point has nothing to do with my point. You don't think there's an advantage of a DC scheming coaching against an opponent the prior year and one who has never seen them before?

But by the same token UGA didn't lose last year because Grantham hadn't watched film.


Please show us where I said we did.

I'm no prognosticator and believe that the teams will be evenly matched. But Sanford Stadium is going to be the loudest stadium in the country that particular Saturday.

Unless their new QB is lights out, they have a problem.

Their QB could be lights out and they still have a problem. Look at all the things going against UGA last yr:
Night game in Hicksville.
Gurley & Mitchell hurt on the very 1st offensive play.
Grantham
Breaking in 10 D starters.
Grantham

Yet we still had a chance to win. Clemson has no idea what is about to hit them. I only hope the "21 point easy win" is the mindset of their fan base as it will make the arse whippin that much sweeter.

Calm down Francis, I'm not disagreeing with you, but I don't believe for a second that UGA's defense looked like twice hammered dogsh*t because Grantham hadn't studied enough game film. To assert such is absolutely silly. How many months did Grantham have to prepare for Clemson?

Sure, there's an advantage for a coach who has schemed against an offensive coordinator before - in this case Pruitt vs. Morris. But keep in mind, this isn't the same Clemson team from last year. When you have personnel changes to the degree Clemson has/had, the offensive tendencies and sets may be the same, but the limitations of players (be it athleticism, experience, etc.) will dictate a variance from what was seen the prior year.

So I'd say Pruitt has an advantage, but it's not like, uhm, you know, 12 gabillions of percentiles like you seem to think.

Yeah, so you agree with my point. So wtf are you arguing about?

Go ahead and C&P where I've said anything at all like that. Oh wait, you can't, you just don't like me because I (and everyone else) called you out about your CSS statement so now apparently have to resort to hyperbole to try to twist my thoughts around. Here's what I said:

quote:

Sure FSU's D last year was better than ours, but those numbers didn't happen simply because they had a few more athletes on defense. It's remarkable what having a competent and capable coach can do for a unit.

Last year Todd Grantham had never seen any film on clemson before in his life. Pruitt has broken down game film on them less than 12 months ago, and he was incredibly successful.


I'm not saying we're gonna win easily, but I don't see any way you can look at this game on paper and say we don't have the decided advantage


Tell me where in any of that I said that he's 12 gabillion times better than grantham or that we're going to steamroll clemson on defense. I'll wait.

You seem to be the mad one here. And "call me out" as you may, you still have yet to provide anything substantive that refutes any of my points in that thread. That doesn't come into play in this one though, so I digress, and I'm not sure why you're bringing it into this.

Again, remember the lines I told you about A and B arguments and references.

I'd say you posted your own evidence champ - no need for me to repeat it, but since you asked so nicely....

How long did Grantham have to break down game film....answer the question......

And Pruitt, vis a vis Grantham, certainly was more successful. How much game film of a Chad Morris offense do you think he had broken down prior to 2013? If you'll take your finger off your taint long enough to stop flinging poo at the walls here, you'll see I'm not entirely disagreeing with you. But film study isn't going to make or break the D against Clemson.

You're right...I quoted exactly what I posted earlier. Which was a point that you agreed with. Not sure why you had to add such extravagant hyperbole into the mix to make it seem like I said something I didn't. It's all right there.

quote:

I already have answered it. But again...he technically had about 8 months, although of course we didn't spend every week of the entire offseason doing so. Realistically he probably spent 2 weeks or so. What's your point?

quote:

Probably zero. Why? I'm comparing Pruitt to grantham, nothing more.

1st year facing DC as coordinator= both have no previous experience, grantham didn't do well, pruitt excelled

Now, we have pruitt facing them again for the 2nd time. It's logical to think that we will fare better this go around than we did last year with CTG. Not sure why you have turned this into anything else.
