re: Monken To Uga

Interesting graphic I found. The 2011-2012 column represents the two years Monken was calling plays at OKST vs. the two years before him and the two years after him.

Yeah but our QB, OL and entire offensive coaching staff is in tact. Instead of having to change the offense from Week 3 to Week 4, we now have an entire off-season to actually work in a Quarterback who has had the majority of the reps for the last season.

If I'm being objective about your team - I like your QB. I think he's smart with the ball and efficient and I think on the right team he can do enough to get you over the hump from 10 or 11 wins to a championship. I don't think he can Burrow you to one without more run support and better line play though.

Georgia has way more to be concerned with.

Maybe. Maybe not. What worries me if I'm a Florida fan is your position coaches. Those guys, in my mind, simply aren't getting it done and it's evidenced by the same kinds of mistakes being shown game after game after game. Your secondary couldn't tackle receivers in a phone booth and UGA basically beat you because you simply could not get off the field on third down and your position coaches went full 1980's Charlie Pell in Jacksonville.

Throwing for a first down on fourth and short? Can't get the correct personnel on the field for the right play? Literally no yardage safe from a third down conversion with a better DL than 95% of D1 football?

That worries me if I'm a Gator fan.

New OC.
New OL Coach.
New QB1.
New WR1.
New RB1, RB2.
New OL.
New TE1, TE2

Eh. There's a lot of playing time mixed in there. Georgia won't be sending out freshmen all over the LOS and newcomers at all the skill positions. If you want to talk about the RB room and a new QB sure - realistic fans need to wait and see what's going to happen. Pittman will be missed and the offensive retool will be interesting to watch.

I like Monken and think Lawrence fits his offense pretty well though.

It's going to be lots of fun.

If he is there. 3 true freshman starting on the O line blocking for a transfer from Wake Forest is the model for championships

Jones would be the only true freshman. If you count linemen in my post, I listed 6. If hes ready, that is a bonus

Sure they have, none however have come from programs like Wake Forest

Remember when Auburn was going 15-0 'ship with a transfer QB from Baylor?

Yeeeep.

Baylor at the time was far better than wake ever was

And how did that work out? Thanks for making my point. the team doesn't matter as much as the talented individual.

Good players play for bad teams sometimes. I have no idea what he will do or be like, but the fact that he came from Wake Forest doesn't bother me at all.

Do yourself a favor and look up "Players in the NFL from small schools". You might be surprised at the talented players that played at small schools and yes...even bad schools.

Wake Forest 8-5
Auburn 9-4

They look an awful lot alike to me.

You don’t get it. That’s gonna be your problem. 2019 y’all scored 17 on GA. 2018 y’all scored 17 on GA. 2017 y’all scored 7 on GA.

GA’s 2020 defense will be equal to or better than 2019.

Meanwhile, haterz complaining about GA playing OldManFootball, stuck in the Dark Ages offensively, now scratching their heads bc Kirby done gone and hired a successful Air Raid/ Air Coryell OC who’s gonna have an experienced QB in Newman.

Consider how Newman went from, literally, the worst P5 OL in Wake Forest to GA’s OL & receivers — it’s an improvement. The dude’s gonna flourish. He’ll have all off season to practice against arguably the SEC’s best defense.

And he’ll face Bama & AUB before Oct 31 JAX.

When you said “we’re not in the same ballpark” ... I agree.

Auburn was closer to making the playoff with Stidham then UGA will be with the middle of the road ACC reject. Hell, Stidham beat two #1 teams in a three week period.

28-7

If not for that redo , Kirby would be on the hot seat . Even with it the frustration of 38 years wandering around the desert has caused grumbling. I guess this WF transfer will be Biblical for UGA Fans (40 years of wandering the desert). The Promise Land is just over the mountain.
