Obviously some of these guys are generational talents, but we used to RBU with Gurly, Chubb, Sony, Cook, etc. These were mostly Richt’s players I think, but Kirby has recruited bowers, Ladd, swift, fields, but not much else. Now we get zero elite talent, especially at skill positions. I did not see one open receiver all night. We only get yards from screen passes to branch. This is a big concern

I outright refuse to believe that our receivers are somehow so deficient that they can’t get open against OM, especially because they did so effectively just a few months ago.

I heard from a sauce that people were watching the game on sky cast and we had plenty of open receivers. If true not sure if that’s on Stockton or coaches.

OL getting blown up had a lot to do with this.

So, the coordinator called the plays and the receivers got open. Wonder where the fault could lie then?

Running back coach needs to piss or get off the pot when it comes to recruiting. We whiffed again on our top 3 or 4 targets this recruiting season, just like we whiffed on our top 5 or 6 targets last season.

Had open receivers last night.For whatever reason Gunner had a problem pulling the trigger not to mention 5 or 6 batted down passes.

Can't have a QB who's afraid to make mistakes.

Heard a rumor today that Philo and Bailey Stockton, former PAC and Nerd players, have been contacted by UGA about transferring. Can anyone in the know confirm?

It’s hard for me to fathom why a top WR would want to come here, currently. That’s looking at it with my red & black goggles off, trying to be objective. Don’t get me wrong, I hope we sign 3 Randy Mosses, I just don't see it, other than rare instances where they’re lifelong dawgs, maybe.

Well, the QB was running for his life all night. The Ol couldn't block their own shadows.
