Opt-Outs:
- Ben Cleveland
- Monty Rice
- Eric Stokes
- DJ Daniels
- Tre McKitty
- Trey Hill

Other
- Julian Rochester
- Justin Robinson
- Kendall Milton

Plus GA usually doesn't try unless they make the CFP and loses to lesser teams IE Texas.

Opt-Outs


Quitters.

But no. Georgia showed last year against Baylor that younger players welcome the opportunity to play in these games.

Saban got most of his players to play in the Citrus Bowl against Michigan last year. Including 3 players that went 1st round and one that went high in the 2nd round.

Bama only had two opt outs, both players went in the 2nd round.

That doesn't make very much sense

You know what, everyone is having their turn kicking us while we are down today, but Tennessee can GTFO.

We stand in solidarity together my SEC brother.

I watched in horror as Oklahoma publicly humiliated you.

He's referring to Trask throwing 3 picks and throwing away a bunch of money, which I don't necessarily agree with, but that's his point.

On the bright side, this should end most of the “Mullen is a genius” threads......

Not as likely as Florida. The quitters are spread out positionally, unlike the mass exodus of skill players for Florida

I don’t necessarily agree either. Trask had a more than solid season, it was impressive. I doubt many professional evaluations worry about a stupid assed blip on the screen like last night for Trask.

Not saying it is relevant tomorrow, but this is flat out wrong. Georgia has an outstanding bowl record. Kirby is 3-1, Richt and Donnan had great records too.

Just to amplify this, Georgia is 14-6 in bowl games since 2000. None of the losses have been by more than 7 points.

Having said that, this Cincinnati team has a fantastic defense, and I'm quite interested to see how JT Daniels performs. I've rarely seen a team change identities mid-season as much as Georgia has in the past two months.

And our players behind the opt outs are better.

Out of all those listed, Rice and Stokes are the only ones that hurt a lot. Everyone else is fairly replaceable. I think we are also hungry to prove a point.

Let's debunk a few of these.

Trey Hill had surgery on both knees and wouldn't have played, period. Robinson is hurt (shoulder) as well. Milton will likely play; he would have played against Vandy.

I don't think Robinson has even played this year. He is not a contributor at all. Rochester's season was also ended due to injury.

All the reports seem to indicate that the players that are playing are focused. I think UGA has plenty of motivation. I did not feel this way before the Texas game...

UGA dragged a top 10 Baylor team just last year while down 11 starters...
