Small consolation but we have pretty good chance to win out the rest of the way. Mizzou and USC both come to the Swamp and have been average. I watched both Mizzou vs UK and the USC game vs UT. Both teams struggle, USC is having trouble on offense and Mizzou struggles to change up from air raid to run more offense.

They will both be fights but we should prevail with our defense....as long as Henderson returns. We could ranked fairly high at years end...since its obvious some teams ahead of us will lose games.


To finish ranked in the top ten is something few saw happening back in August. Hopefully we can use it to recruit some elite talent to keep the Mullen train rolling.

Our rushing game is about to get a lot more heavy. I doubt we'll be throwing much for the rest of the year, and I feel confident we can move the ball against both of those teams.

I mentioned somewhere if we win out, there’s a good chance we end up in Nawlins or wherever the 2nd best SEC team goes if we have a team in the playoffs.

I don't foresee playoffs...but I know strange things happen in football...a lot of teams are going to lose games and some of them are ranked ahead of us. We only dropped 4 spots in AP bowl which I thought was surprising...but maybe that goal line stand impressed voters....six fricking chances from the 1 yd line and twice of those were half yard variety. We had 2 flags dropped on us and still they couldn't punch it in.


I would be happy with NY bowl.

We're not going to the Playoffs even in the wildest of scenarios. I don't care what happens, as long as we finish out the season with wins and continue the momentum into next year.

And we only dropped 4 spots because it's obvious we gave the game away more than Georgia won it. ANYONE who watched the game knows that schematically we did everything right (Gary alluded to it several times) and that Kirby got flat out embarrassed the first half (and one could argue the second half until the bottom gave out).

Better QB play, more depth on defense, we win the game pretty easily. We spotted them points and gave them short fields, don't win many games like that.

Oh, and I'd love to see some games in the future with G5 refs to see what an SEC game would look like.

Georgia will never be Bama because Kirby has zero creativity. No adjustments coming out of the bye week. We didn’t execute and we got beat. Sucks. I like my staff over their staff on the field. Get the horses and Georgia will see how much better Mullen is than Kirby on the field

We really need a few really good OL to replace about 3 starters who will be gone after this year. Gouriage was redshirted and was drawing good reviews in practices. We will need depth and quality to have a strong run game.

Georgia only outrushed us by 19 yds....that's it. Our run game was every bit as good as theirs....which bodes well for the future.

Copeland has been redshirted (maybe due to academics?) but we need a few play makers as we have a lot of upperclassmen at WR who will be gone soon. Grimes has finally been thrown to some in the last few games and hopefully he emerges.
