The seasons are much longer than they used to be and we play more patsies than we used to play so more points are scored. Running 50 points on Costal Carolina is not impressive. As bad as the defense played in the second half of the Bama game, the only reason we got close was the defense held them as long as they did (includes two turnovers)and the blocked punt.

What's your timeframe as far as "used to"? 02 and 03 had 12 regular season games, 04/05 went back, then from 06-present there's been 12 regular season. He's still the one putting up the points though.

We actually play FAR tougher competition under Richt than we have historically. Boise/OSU/ASU/CU/Col/etc..

Then what is, scoring 80? If we beat them 24-0 you'd be calling for heads that the score was so low. How high do we need to run it up before it's acceptable?

You overlook the fact that bama had the #1 defense in the entire country, yet our RB was productive and scored 2 TDs and Murray carved them up like a thanksgiving turkey in the final drive with the game on the line. We did as well on offense against bama last year as anyone else not named aTm.

So Gurley's beast running and Murray's very good passing had nothing to do with it? Is putting 427 yards, 5 TD and 45 points on the #1 pass defense in college football (Nebraska) not impressive?

The defense isn't the reason the SECCG was close, they were the reason UGA lost that game. If the DL (I'm looking at you, John Jenkins) didn't bring their purses to the dome, Georgia would have gone out and dropped 45+ on ND to win a national title. I'm not really sure what else you can possibly expect from this offense. Other teams have talent on defense, so it isn't like they are gonna go hang 70 ppg and 1000 ypg on everyone.
