re: Addition of DRob: SECCG Will Be A Pick'em (Bama vs UGA)

quote:

---

Georgia has no elite defensive tackles or linebackers.

You are not familiar with our roster, are you?

DRob is a baller no doubt. But in my opinion the Georgia/Alabama game would come down to the play in the trenches, or as I call them the trizz-enches.

Can Salty Ballz handle JLed. How does T Sizzle match up with Yung Skratch Off? Is LWil ready to block Big Swoll and Ray Ray?

Should be interesting!!!

quote:

---

No Freshman linebacker, or any linebacker on your roster for that matter, is going to be able to come remotely close to the level of play of Roquan Smith.

---

True. But no LB in college football last season came to that level. he was the Butkus Award winner, after all.
Are you saying no team can win a National Championship without a Butkus Award winner?

quote:

---

s good as Georgia's recruiting classes have been under Kirby, he has not signed elite defensive tackles. And the one 5 star that you had at the position left for the NFL (Trenton Thompson).

---

Trent Thompson started two games for us last season. Tyler Clark started 10.

To boil down a championship season to having a 5* DT on your roster is very shortsighted. However, i don't think any UGA fans are predicting a National Championship. We aren't saying we will win one, but here you are arguing that we won't win one.

---

Georgia didn't have an elite front 7 last year. What's your point?

---

quote:

---

You serious? Georgia had the best Linebacker in CFB along with another stud in Lorenzo Carter.

---

Okay. So, did Georgia have a better front seven than Auburn? if not, then we came awfully close to winning a National Championship and we did win the SECCG with a relatively inferior front 7, did we not?

quote:

---

Tua, in his first start ever, outscored Georgia 26-10 in a half.

---

Tua scored 26 points all by himself? he is good.

quote:

---

If he gets to play an entire game, it'll get ugly.

---

Now that dumb and I think I can make you admit it. Auburn went up on LSU 20-0 halfway through the second quarter, therefore Auburn won the game 40-0, correct? You can't extrapolate results that way. It just doesn't work that way.

I think you are wrong

This year? then they are delusional, and I will be the first to tell them that.

This year?

I've seen a few

Not totally out of the question but a lot of things have to go right for any NC team. But some fans take it as a given.

quote:

---

I will be the first to tell them that

---

Have at it!

quote:

---

No, I'm saying losing a Butkus award winner is going to hurt.

---

Absolutely will. We should take a small step back on defense. But I wouldn't expect a collapse.

quote:

---

Trent Thompson was a vital piece of that defense as well, even if he did not live up to the 5 star billing.

---

He did not have as good a year as Ledbetter, Clark or Rochester. All three return, and we picked up a GT from Notre Dame.

quote:

---

Yes, Georgia has no chance at winning the National Championship next year and I'd be happy to wager a bet.

---

I don't think we will win one, either, but I think you are going way to far to say "no chance". In fact I can point out some Las Vegas betting lines that say there is a chance.

quote:

---

1.) The target is now on your backs and you don't get to play the underdog role

---

You act like we were not the favorites in most of our games last year.

quote:

---

2.) Alabama will have Tua for the entire game in the SEC Championship (if you make it to Atlanta)

---

So, you are not giving Auburn a chance to make it to Atlanta. okay.

quote:

---

1.) He was fresh against a tired defense and 2.) There was little film on him and little reason to think Saban would pull the gamble that he did and have it pay off. He was the right guy played at the right time

---

That can't be stated enough. I don't know that the result is any different if he plays the full game as he was more accurate, but it's not like Alabama runs away with it had he played the entire game.

Look- I have no dog in the fight. I just prefer SEC football than any other conference and appreciate the intensity and level of play.

That said- Prior to Tu throwing the bomb for the game-winning touchdown, the kid made some glaring mistakes. also, Tu is not as elusive as Hurt which could be an issue for Alabama. I don't think it will slow the team down but having the threat of an elusive QB puts so much more pressure on a defense. While Alabama appears to have a superior defense to UGA, I think UGA has a superior offense to Alabama's offense which is why I say it will be a toss-up. UGA outside weapons and their Oline appears to be scary good.
