True story. Only 2 internet references to it that I can find are this thread (you) and your post here: LINK

Swift was a complimentary running back who carried the ball a max of 10 times a game. He had several games where he was a non-factor. Mizzou gave up a million yards to a division 2 school, so claiming he's great because of that game is laughable.
"Reload" type of team doesn't happen this year, sorry but you lost too much. I'd say after 19 Georgia is stacked though.

I think Swift, Zeus, Cook, Herrien, and Holyfield will all more than be able to replace the efforts of 2 RBs. They’ll be running behind an even better OL, so if for some reason they’re not as talented as advertised, they’ll at least have a 2-3 yard head start most plays.
Fromm’s development will also help make their lives easier. Teams will be hesitant to load up the box if they’re worried about Fromm taking the top off.
Losing Chubb and Michel can be a big deal. They were all time greats and team leaders. UGA and Kirby weren’t banking on them being around for 10-15 years though, and brought in talent behind the two which they trust to take over their roles. Will the “new” guys be Chubb or Michel? Probably not. Will they still be solid/good running backs who keep our offense humming along? Most likely.

Chubb was a non factor vs Troy as a freshman. Wasn’t a big deal.
That’s just one of many games we can point to for swift. We return 8 starters on offense, and the OL will give him holes. If you really expect our run game to suddenly drop off a cliff, you are going to be disappointed

Thats all I heard from Georgia going into the 2013 season as well.
You have never had an issue of reloading.
Your defense is that Kirby isn't Richt, yet there is nothing there to say there is any difference this far in to either coaching careers respectively.
I just don't see Georgia repeating the same success with that much turnover.
Not saying that you will have another 8-5 season to mimic that one, but dropping a few is not out of the question.

Apparently saying Georgia will go 10-2 because of defensive growing pains and losing 2 major offensive weapons is sacrilege around here

Not a good point. We started 4-1 vs the toughest schedule in the nation, which validated the reload claims. Things only changed after we lost the strength of our team to injuries.

Its a very valid point in that you didn't go undefeated in a "reload" season.

UNDER
10-2 at best
9-3 most realistic

What? This isn’t about going undefeated now and it wasn’t in 2013.

Richt never went to a NC or went undefeated against the SEC East. He also never recruited like kirby. There's plenty of evidence that Kirby, thus far, has been an upgrade to Richt. No UGA fan is saying there won't be a drop off. Just saying that RB won't be the reason we don't go to the playoffs. Also our weak schedule is another reason most don't expect the drop off some other fans think. Our two hardest games are USCe and Auburn, outside of that the rest of our schedule is soft.

lol 10-2 would be the floor. UGA's three hardest games in order are USCe since its early in the season, Auburn, and maybe LSU. Worst case scenario would be losing 2/3. UGA is favored in every game, so 12-0 would be best case scenario.

I dunno why everyone is giving us the go ahead W vs LSU. I think that’s gonna be a really tough game:
I was coming here to say this. LSU is a mystery because of Orgeron, but playing @ Death Valley at night is...there's just nothing like it. That stadium and atmosphere is really, really tough.

Richt
You don't think he could have went undefeated in the East last year? Miami for sure would have. There's no reason to think Richt or any other mid-major coach could have waltzed through the East when there's not a single ranked team or a team with 10 wins to be found outside of Georgia.

No because richt wouldn’t have had the same roster and he damn sure wouldn’t have the same OL coach.
I doubt Miami would have ether.

Pretty sure we are not basing it off that one game. He had a 40 yarder against Notre Dame, and a 62 yarder against Auburn. Two pretty good run defenses.

Recruiting. Depth is on a different plane. But, hey. You have an opinion. That's okay. I don't think 10-2 is an awful prediction. I think we will be either 10-2 or 11-1. I will be disappointed if it is worse than that.

If Burrow comes through for them they could easily be a big sleeper in the West. They could have a really good year.
For some reason, though, I was thinking some LSU fans were thinking this was going to be an afternoon game. I could have been dreaming, though.

It's a great question actually...and almost impossible to say. I was a huge Richt fan, but I don't think Richt would have talked Chubb, Michel, Carter and Bellamy to come back for their senior years. Without those 4 I can name 2-3 games we might have lost. Maybe more.
