re: LSU and GA have to be this years biggest disappointment

Blama is good but not like we or others teams are not capable of beating you.

Yep... if only the game lasted 30 minutes...

Touché... your very correct... doesn’t mean Orgeron has attained average or that Mullen has surpassed though.. plus, championship. the Gators fans love him, and he’s a capable game day coach... but I grew up watching Bear, Shug, and Vince. I’ve seen Gene, Steve, and Nick. I’ll even include Gary Pinkel.

- both teams have high expectations

- both teams are going to blame COVID for their less than acceptable seasons
- both teams will have gotten crushed by BAMA

Can't speak to LSU but UGA does not have elite talent at a key position...QB. Had UGA has a QB capable of starting on a mediocre SEC team UGA may have had a much different season.....pick up a few extra first downs in the Bama game and the half time lead might not have been wiped out in the second half without a defense which had been on the field all night....probably wouldn't have happened but it wouldve been a different game.

And UGA had recievers runnning wide open behind FLorida's defense but the midget walk on, game as he is, couldn't get the ball to him. With an average QB capable of starting in the SEC that game is definitely different....again, a couple less short possessions keeping UFs offense off the field and a couple of those wide open receivers hit in stride...only Florida fans would be justified in claiming it wouldn't have made any difference...


And, if that game had gone drastically different due to average QB play we would be looking at a rematch with Bama in Atlanta with what appears to be a vastly improved offense....

Most UGA fans thought losing to Alabama was most likely but thought a rematch in Atlanta was likely and likely to be more competitive. Had any sane UGA fan been told that Stetson Bennett was going to start what, 5 games, they would have thought 8-2 was a stretch. I still think it is because we may or may not play Mizzoo in Columbia which is a meaningless game and we ain't had our inexplicable loss and have not seen the "we don't want to be here" attitude that prima donna athletes get when they pooch their lips out cause they ain't in the playoffs...


UGAs season so far has not been overly impacted by COVID...at least not to the extent that some have seen.

I think the team has actually overachieved based on what Bennett was able to do for us.

I agree completely....as limited as Bennett is you gotta admire what he has accomplished. Had most UGA fans been told in August that Bennet would be the starter most would have predicted the 2 losses we have and probably a couple of more.

How can a team that recruits as well as UGA has the last 4-5 years have a CEILING of 8-2?

---

It is easy to 'splain....we have shite the bed with the most important position on the field....UGA is lights out recruiting but keeping a QB on the field who is on par with the rest of the talent on the field has proven beyond the grasp of Smart and company....most UGA fans are still hopeful this will change, many think it will, some are beginning to think it wont and some know it wont. If it does, and UGA recruits as it has, UGA will be a TOUGH out for anyone...if it doesn't we will still dominate shite teams and lose to good ones....and possibly lose to a shite team once in a while.

It’s almost like had 2 5* QBs transfer and one leave too early. Then lose a grad transfer starter right before the season starts. Did you see the midget we had playing?

It doesnt matter what Hurts became. It matters what Hurts was in 2017, and he wasnt close to a 2nd round QB in 2017, yet Saban kept starting him over 1st round lock Tua. Kirby made the same exact decision in 2018. Most, if not ALL, coaches would have done the same, which continues to keep it right in line with "bad luck" and far away from "mismanagement".

---

I ain't so sure most coaches would have kept Fromm in the 2018 LSU game....I seriously doubt Saban or Dabo would have....not that that game made much of a difference but, had Fields been brought in and played well who knows who the starter wouldve been the rest of the way???

Misspelled losers.

Having the third OC in the last three years has not helped at all. This coaching position needs stability if there ever has been a need for stability in coaching positions.

If you had told me, before the season started, Stetson Bennett would be the QB through the Florida game I would have predicted at least three losses and perhaps four for that stretch of games. Stability, talent and experience at the QB position all around the conference, not every team of course, and Georgia is starting a walk-on, pure insanity. I know he is on scholarship now but he was not coming out of HS.

LSU and UT
