Both UGA and Bama looked a bit tired today. This will give Kirby what he needs to motivate the guys. A lot of mistakes and a beat up tired team. Somehow UGA still out gained Auburn. The Auburn OL looked good and their QB was playing inspired. Still should have won but there are a lot of reasons that just happened. It will be just fine.

Gotta stop playing with our food.

Or Alabama’s TD that was so clearly holding. Hard to imagine anyone else getting that no call when the OL was blocking from behind the Georgia player and was 5 feet in front of the Alabama QB.

Not PI but a great catch.

LSU should probably worry about winning their games before they start looking at who other teams are playing.

I really don’t think there was a lot more to it than that. The few that “came out of nowhere” had 2 major things in common. Both ole miss and Indiana we around or over 2/3 transfers and among the oldest programs to ever play in college football by average age. Vandy and Miami were also super old and filled with far more transfers than your average program. I’m sure there are other examples but those just quickly came to mind. I found it super annoying and it got so old so fast listening to the talking heads go on and on about how it is so crazy that Indiana was able to turn it around so fast. I mean, is it really crazy that 23 year olds mercenaries beat 18-19 year olds? Super shocking right?

It’s a fool’s errand to pay 17-18 year olds based on POTENTIAL. Only the truly most elite high schoolers should get the big checks. Your hit rate is going to be much higher paying 23 year old full grown men with PROVEN college production. That is where the dollars are going to increasingly go. I hate it, but it is the truth.

1. It is age.
2. It is proven production.
3. It is having played 4+ years in college to strengthen the body and scheme understanding.

Really not too worried about it. UGA had an incredibly young roster (and was quite banged up) and still beat every team they played at least once. They’ll be all right.

1. UGA is one of the youngest teams in the sec.
2. First year as a starter at QB.
3. DL and OL are returning almost everyone.
4. UGA was way more banged up than Ole Miss.
5. UGA improved a though through the year Kirby had to coach this bunch up to improve them. We did lose 2 games but there were about 4 others we could have lost, so we basically went 4-2 in close games is the way I look at it.
6. Ole Miss’ 23 1/2 year old QB and kicker both played out of their minds and we still basically lost based on 1 missed kick.

This is the classic case of young guys learning how to win and how to play in big games. Teams normally have to get close before they break through.

Indiana is physical. They beat OSU in one type of game and are now showing they can win multiple types of games. I hate what college football has become but they are good. I read that 34.6% of their 2025 starts are by recruits. None of their players are Indiana players but they are good players.

Yeah. Looked like his back seized up
