re: Clemson fans prediction for UGA game

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?

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?

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?

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.
