re: We are toast if Saban doesn’t do something

I agree that Saban needs to make moves. I'd be surprised if we don't see some movement in the next 30 days. It could stretch longer if he has candidates who are on NFL playoff teams.

As for Georgia I don't know the makeup of their team but their teams experience level isn't the issue. The issue is they have gone 2 years and lost one game. They have two rings. Three if you include the SEC title ring which they finally got this year. No matter if the team is full of sophomore's or seniors the dog mentality erodes with success. It's a slow process, don't expect anything but winning from Georgia next year but as the season wears on. There's going to be cracks. The fear of losing fades having not experienced it. I don't believe there is any way to avoid it. no coaching technique can stop it. They can say they want to go for 3 peat or whatever. it's just not the same as the bitterness that Bama players are feeling this morning, knowing that had they taken care of business it could have been them. It's a bitterness that isn't going away any time soon. I hope it burns in deep. We need a bunch of guys who are very unhappy and dissatisfied people. Hateful people.

Georgia will be preseason number 1 and face no resistance in the regular season. They will be riding a 29 game win streak going into Atlanta next year.

Bama has a favorable home schedule, with just two tough road games at A&M and Auburn. Bama takes care of the home schedule and goes at least 4-1 on the road and Bama is in Atlanta too.

We all know how Bama plays as a underdog.

One thing that watching Georgia makes clear to me is that we have to get back to being dominant on the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. UGA does that and you see the results. You saw the results when we were dominant a few years ago. Our linemen have to step up.

Nice analysis, Hines011

for once in my life I am hoping AU is good enough to beat UGA next year. Otherwise it will have to be UT

UGA doesn’t get tested until late November when they go to Knoxville. Which means their new starters get a long runway to develop into their roles.

Again, this doesn’t diminish their accomplishments and it’s not their fault, but it really is a very fortunate position to be in.

Ravens- You are absolutely correct. The SEC is a line of scrimmage league.

He does not do well against great QB play and fast WRs.

Isn't this true for all teams? It's like saying "Saban's true weakness is an elite and accurate QB."

To be fair, we have brought in some that were very overweight and have had to mold them into shape ( George, Roberts , (Ferguson ) etc
