re: So what does UGA have to do to have a "successful" season next year?

We should win the East every 2-3 years. Period. If we do not win the East this year it is a failure in my eyes.

-We should have an elite running game.
-We should have a very good defense.
-We should have a very good special teams unit.
-We have a question mark at QB and that is a concern but it should be manageable especially with Richt and Schotty coaching them up
- We should have some senior leadership (Theus, Jenkins, etc.)

Now, just because we should have these things doesn't mean we will have these things. We must have a good fall camp and come out week one executing. I think if our starting QB performs decent/well we will win the East.
