So which is it? UGA “thinking” they are as talented as Bama and aren’t or UGA is as talented and should be able to replace him.

So far the UGA responses have been pretty spot on IMHO.



UGA's entire program strategy under Smart has been to beat everyone in talent and depth and then be conservative in play style with that talent. In other words let the superior talent win titles while minimizing risk like Bama did a decade ago. This is now Smart's 6th year. So my point is that UGA can't blame one injury for wrecking the season when the entire program has been all about beating everyone with superior depth and talent. Team's built the way UGA is designed should be able to handle losing a starting receiver. And if they can't then they need to question if the system is working.

Losing a player of the caliber is not easily replaced, but you analysis of UGA is spot on. Losing a Julio, Cooper or even Ridley would have been devastating to some of Alabama championship teams.

Gone are the days of having simply 1 elite receiver...Clemson OSU OU and Bama stack these players up there's no reason why UGA shouldn't have depth there.
