So. Alabama. That's the one game you wnat to pick? And Howard Will. Who was he weak against?
Will Howard did not have much to work with at KSU. He will outperform Beck with the offensive weapons he will have at Ohio State.

his could be our best defense of the Kirby Smart era. So, yes. Better than Ohio States. If you don't think Georgia is loaded then you haven't been paying attention.
You're the one who has not been paying attention. Ohio State has loaded up on defense. The Buckeyes will have the top defense in the country.

.so you think a true freshman will be better than a 5th year senior who has been in the system all 5 years
Sayin is special. He might be the best QB in the nation by playoff time.

You didn’t refute what I said, which is “ yall got an even bigger question mark there”
The only question is who will start. Howard has the experience but Sayin is an all-world talent.

No bigger question mark than a true freshman vs an elite defense like UGA.

We know Beck can't compete against an elite defense. No question about that.

Were they ranked at the end of the season ranked teams or the bullshite ranked at the time we played them?

His passer rating with many key injuries making it tougher vs bama was higher than your new qbs overall season passer rating.

No one besides a buck homer would choose your guy over ours based on what we have seen.

Arizona at #23 is VERY underrated.

Ranked at the time we played them. Is that more or less bullshite than ranked in a preseason poll?

Mostly reloaded defense, and one of the best offenses in the country

I get the feeling you haven't seen much of Howard actually playing football. I have seen many of his games. You are setting yourself up for some disappointment.

No doubt this homer buckeye was also hyping up their 2023 qb.

So any old average player that goes to a great program will automatically become great? Dude. Beck played well against SEC defenses. The best defenses in the country.
Will Howard was a 3* QB when he went to Kansas State and he played like a...3* QB. Congrats on the huge pickup?

No. Georgia will. See how easy it is to say with nothing to back it up? However, we know Georgia has consistently one of (If not the) best defenses in the country since 2017. We also have been loading up on defense and it traditionally is the backbone of our recruiting classes. You know, the classes that outrank Ohio State almost every single year?

Sayin might be special.
FIFY

Yep, and Beck is the favorite to win the Heisman.

Now, we both know that preseason means nothing, and i will admit that, it doesn't mean Beck will win. In fact, with our balanced offense i will be shocked if he wins. But...would you mind sharing the link that shows Howard as the favorite?

He wants to say Howard was surrounded by lesser talent, but then he ignores that he was playing against lesser talent. B1G 12?

Against a 7-6 team (Iowa State) Howard went: 24/48 288yards 1TD 1INT.



Against Oklahoma State (4 loss team) he went: 15/34 152 yards 1TD 3INTs
"But...but...but Carson Beck didn't do well against Alabama!"
Beck was: 21/29 243 yards 0TD 0INTs. Not great, but Alabama was a playoff team. Oklahoma State and Iowa State? Not so much.
