You understand that the less a team is on the field, the better their defense is, right?

Johnson had 13 touches in the SECCG, he had 32 when he was fresh.

Their team had 25 first downs with Kerryon, without they had 18.

TOP? 33:06 Game 1, 26:58 game two.

That you're trying to pretend that the offense making consistent first downs and staying on the field doesn't help the defense is breathtaking.

You saw what happened to Georgia when they lost their rushing threat -- only 13 first downs the entire game. Take away your best players, your defense gives up 488 yards.

You can say that Kirby ''adjusted'', you can say that you guys were ready for this game...

Or you can admit that the only reason Georgia won in that fashion is because their best player and the offensive player of the year for the SEC was out, who killed you the first game.

Derp...

ETA... too many comments to reply to... why you have to be so dumb Straws?

Wims wasn't developed by Kirby? He's a transfer senior. Malik Zaire being good or bad is not on McElwain in the same way that Wims being good or bad is not on Kirby's. Good job getting a guy to transfer??? That doesn't mean he developed him. What player has Kirby developed?

Juco Signee in the 2016 class. Played last season... was not great. Played this season... has been significantly better in all aspects.

JR Reed... was not a huge contributor at Tulsa. Signed in 2016, had to sit out. Is the second leading tackler on this defense and has been a much needed addition.

Mecole Hardman - Sophomore - recruited as a DB. Kirby and staff decided to move to offense... was not good to start the season at WR... has become a weapon.

Ben Cleveland - RSFr - was not good enough to start on our atrocious OL last year. Was pushing for time to start this season but couldn't crack the line up. After Auburn game, secures RG starting spot...

He's only been here 2 years... he's got upperclassmen playing better than they did under the previous staff and he's plugged holes where needed. As I've said many times. Year 1 and 2 won't tell us everything we need to know about Kirby, but right now, his trend is at least good... will see how things shape up going forward, but I've got a lot more faith in Kirby than I would were I in your shoes with Mullen. QB in this recruiting class is a pretty significant concern. If Corral is gone, I'm just not sure who you replace him with that is objectively good enough to start early in their career. That's a problem.
