re: Predict Georgia's season

You know the drill. More talented than almost every team on schedule, if not all of them. Will inexplicably lose a game we shouldn't, but we may wait until the bowl game to pull off this feat. I'm really terrified to predict anything about this team until after week 1 is over. Not too concerned about Mason - Richt/Bobo are as good as anybody in the conference (country?) developing QBs, our skill talent is ridiculous, and he's a 5th yr guy.

I think one of our biggest benefits comes from our biggest weakness: our secondary is by far the biggest question mark on the team. Swann is pretty good despite what some will tell you, but others have to develop (Corey Moore, Tray Matthews, JJ Green, anybody at CB #2, etc).

What's the best cure for that?

A good pass rush - Floyd and Jenkins give us quite the tandem there

A clock eating, powerful running game - we have the best individual back in the conference and best RBs in the conference, hopefully that's enough

Opponents who can't throw the ball - ding ding ding. What QB (through the air) is supposed to scare me this year on our schedule? Dylan Thompson, maybe, depending on whether his Jekyll or Hyde form shows up? Nick Marshall? Sure, but I'm much more comfortable with that game being in week 10 at home. So, mainly Maty Mauk scares me.

A D Coordinator who specializes at DB - check

Still, we could lose a game purely bc of special teams/penalties or some fluky bounce, because that's how it seems it go.

Anywhere from 8-4 to 11-1 wouldn't shock me in the least bit.
