Auburn’s Deshaun Davis dishes on Georgia football

Thread Title edited due to mistake - Excuse my remarks as well as I thought he was talking about the 2017 season. (Duh)!
Per Deshaun Davis:
“We lost to Georgia (SEC Championship Game), played a UCF team and found ourselves down. When it finally clicked, like, man, we’re about to lose, it was too late. So it was a rerun."
“Honestly, I feel like they were one of the top four best teams in the country. But I don’t feel like they deserved to be in the College Football Playoff,” Davis said. “I know I’m contradicting myself, because its supposed to be the top four teams. But you’ve got to think about it: If they win the SEC Championship, they’re in.”
“Going back to a similar situation we were in last year when we played them, we beat them at home, came back and beat Alabama — beat both of them convincingly,” Davis said. “Then we lose in the SEC Championship and we found ourselves in the Peach Bowl.
“So it’s about capturing that opportunity. It’s not very easy to get in the top four, as you can see, and they had their chance to do it two times in a row and it slipped away from them,” Davis said. “I do feel like they were one of the top four teams, but they didn’t win when it mattered, and college football is all about when you win, and when you lose.”
HT: But the linebacker from Mobile tipped his cap to Georgia for its performance in this season’s rivalry game at Sanford Stadium.
"Georgia found creeks and valleys in our run fits, and against a team like that with two good running backs, two experienced running backs and the ability they have to make plays, you can’t misfit, or have your hat in the wrong place,” Davis said. “Their offensive line is massive, they’re aggressive, they are coming off striking."

Honestly, he sounds just like our players did before they got whooped up on by Texas.
Don’t really feel like this is a melt to be honest.

If a player is still talking about their loss from 2017, then for me its a melt.

am i missing something or is all he said that they lost that game?
everything you quoted is extremely reasonable and accurate, and not at all a melt

So you think that by him saying "Honestly, I feel like they were one of the top four best teams in the country. But I don’t feel like they deserved to be in the College Football Playoff" is reasonable?
I guess we all read into people's comments a little differently. I just thought it funny (and a melt) because he is rehashing on the 2017 SECCG and that he didnt think we should have been in the playoffs that year.
I don't think i quoted everything he said and may have left something about but I am not going to go back and read the article again.

Pretty sure he means he thought we were one of the 4 best this year but didn't deserve to be in playoffs after losing to Alabama.

Wow, now that board is in complete meltdown.

He said he thought we were one of the top 4 teams in the country but didn't deserve to get in the CFP. That's a completely reasonable take and one I shared with him.

That’s the best part of that saints loss. There is no worse way they could have lost and it will haunt them for eternity. I, for one, really enjoy that.

I went back and read the article again. I honestly didn't catch that remark about this year the first time I read it so I will re-title the thread. Sorry guys.

I gave you an upvote because I did go back and read it again.

You guys are gonna give shite for a long time about this screw up.
Posted on 1/22/19 at 5:08 pm to Dawgirl
I don't really have an issue with anything he said
Posted on 1/22/19 at 5:13 pm to VADawg
I know, I know, I know!! There was one sentence in the entire article that I missed. Thought he was talking about 2017 when actually he was speaking of 2018. So yeah, I feel like an idiot.
Posted on 1/22/19 at 5:17 pm to Dawgirl
He didn't lie. This is the year to put it together.

Or do what you do and keep giving me shite for the mistake
