re: Why is everyone trying to trick themselves into thinking Milroe isn’t the guy?

I don't think I could ever compare these Georgia teams to one of the greatest defenses to ever see the field in 2011 or one of the best OLines/running games in 2012. They're very balanced, but I'm not sure where that particular comparison came from.

I don't think it's a statistical or talent comparison, but what I think when people say this, is that it's a philosophical comparison. Play aggressive defense, rely less on splash plays, dominate control of the game with the run game, don't overly lean on the QB and protect them so they can deliver critical throws when necessary.

That's not been Bama's M.O. for the past few season. We've been leaning on elite Quarterback play, dynamic offense and bend but don't break... well, with Golding, bend but still break defense.

When folks say that Georgia today is Bama from '11 and '12 it's team mindset and approach more than a specific 1:1 look at both teams.
