I don't buy into any of this "just hand them the trophy this season is over."

I am just like the coaches - the most important game of the season is the next one on the schedule.

Kirby seems to be successful at keeping them grounded. He works them hard during practice.

So we had quality depth and you guys didn’t…. That’s part of fielding a championship team. You oughta know that by now. We played all season with starting WRs out. Still made it there due to quality depth.

No, he was forced to start, game one, as a true freshman after our 6'7 hyped TE hurt his foot in preseason drills.

But, please, continue to move the fricking goal posts, you baby back bitch.

I guess UGA is now the "next man up" school, and Bama is Excuse U.

Outside of Bowers the rest are replaceable with walkons honestly.

If Washington goes does just move a Oline guy out to block, the rest don’t really add much.

Georgia can’t help themselves. They need affirmation from the GOAT program. You won last year, congrats. Win 8 or 10 more .

In 2 short years Dancin Brian will be sitting on a beach counting his LSU pay out money.

This is a rebuilding year for UGA, no way they can lose all that talent and be as good….


I’ve never seen such an innocuous, factual statement rustle a fanbase so much.

If UGA doesn’t go 15-0 I would be shocked. Pretty worthless season for all other programs

If UGA lost Bowers and McConkey, they absolutely would not be as good as they are with those two players. Is that even debatable?


Would UGA be "as good"? No. Any team losing a starter is going to see some kind of decrease in performance.

Would that decrease be large? Have you seen Darnell Washington and Oscar Delp play at TE this year? Let alone Arik Gilbert who has yet to play? While Bowers is the #1 TE in the nation, it's not being overly boastful to say that at least 2 of the next 9 best TE's in college football are ALSO on UGA's roster.

AT WR, Kearis Jackson, AD Mitchell and Marcus Rosemy Jacksaint have also all been heavily involved in the UGA offense and have all performed very well. I've also liked what I've seen from Dominick Blaylock and Jackson Meeks, though they've mostly been with the second team. I don't think you'd see much of a dropoff at the WR position either.

Even at QB, Beck has been excellent this year (15 of 19 for 178 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT) so I honestly think the drop from Bennett wouldn't be huge.

Our backup OL players have had a lot of snaps and played excellent against first team defenders on the other side too.

Heck, our backup kicker even has snaps this year (Jared Zirkel is 1-1 in FG's this year).

The positions where I could see UGA having issues with a starter injury are actually on the defensive side of the ball. I think losing Kelee Ringo or Chris Smith in the secondary would have more of an impact on UGA than any offensive injury. While we have better depth at DE, Jalen Carter is enough ahead of the other guys who'd come in that there would be a loss in production there. He had an ankle injury and played sparingly against SC this past weekend and the DL play did suffer (particularly on the pass rush) to a degree due to that. He only played on 3rd down passing downs.

AL lost a fluke game to A&M, GA lost a fluke game to AL, what’s your point.

So you're saying they had all season to establish themselves as starters and weren't thrown into the fire in the national championship game?


Bama had all season to build that depth on their team. They chose not too (largely because the backups weren't good enough to rotate in, so they had to leave their starters playing as long as the game was close... and many of Bama's games were close)

UGA didn't just build their depth due to injuries. They blew nearly every opponent out which gave their backups a ton of time to play. UGA's new starters on the OL this year played 3-4 starts worth of snaps last year due to rotating players and getting snaps in big wins. They put a true freshman it at LT in the national championship game who got snaps not because of injuries but because of rotations during the season to get him ready for that spot.

Bama didn't do anything to get their backups ready. I view that more as Saban not having trust in the backups rather than the backups being great but not getting time because he HAS given backups more snaps in the past.

Bama has depth issues at RB, WR and OL. THat's why he went after and signed the guys he did in the portal. the only addition that seems to have worked well so far is at RB. The OL and WR are not playing great. Harrell has done nothing and Burton looks like a #3 WR for Bama, just like he was at UGA. Holden, Prentice and Brooks have been okay, but none look like a Metchie or Williams or Jeudy or Smith or Waddle or Ruggs type talent. They look like solid but not spectacular receivers. Honestly the RB Gibbs in the receiving game looks better than any other pass catcher they have. Young has been under more pressure this year than last from other teams pass rush despite the running game going so well.

Ricks has been invisible on defense, but the guys they had before he came in have played well so no harm there.

Pump the brakes...

The Nits took Aubbie behind the woodshed, we can beat Georgia. Just kidding,

Dawgs look like the real deal this year.
