How can the UGA OL have mostly returning starters when they lost 3 off last season's team? The OL is my biggest concern for the offense.
UGA has shown they have issues with Bama. At Bamaville, they will probably be the underdog. The OU game could be tough, as well as the UF game. Not sure what to think about Auburn. Mizzou usually plays UGA pretty close. And, of course there's Brent Key and yech.

Dawgs have struggled in most of their SEC games the last 2 seasons. For that to change, they will need to have to play better in the first half of those games.
I keep "hearing" many talking heads saying the UGA OL will be elite in 2026. I hope they're right. I saw enough inconsistency over the last 2-3 seasons to last a lifetime. I saw a fair amount of wiff's by the OL last season to make me scratch my head.

The injury bug has been very present too, and that's a problem too. Hard to do much about that.

If the OL can get it together this season, it could really be huge. I hope they do.

Trump went with CRIPTO because the powers to be de-banked the Trumps.
I don't know how many times I heard the CMR has earned the benefit of doubt rant. Really...

CMR and Kirby are two VERY different college football coaches.

I tend to agree with the original poster of this topic.

I also understand and agree some with the Kirby and UGA needs to get with all the changes and get on board or get used to losing recruits and games.

Let me be perfectly clear...I absolutely hate the NIL and Transfer Portal. But, this is the world we find ourselves.

:banghead:
LSU lit the Dawg defense up in the SECC too. Some 500 passing yards.
Hell, even the UGA coaches (Monkin) told he wasn't a starter.
I've read that Kirby has lost 3-5 four and five star players because he was outbid. In fact, that was reported by more than one media outlet.
I don't like the current state of college football, but my phone hasn't been ringing off the hook for my advice. The transfer portal and NIL has hurt UGA a bit (especially in depth) and Kirby (UGA) has a choice to make. Stand pat and continue to struggle in several games each season...make the playoff most seasons (not a guarantee), and most likely not advance in the playoff as much as we'd all like. Or, pony up more to get some of those 4 and 5 star players they've been losing the last 2,3 seasons. I stopped purchasing season tickets after the 2019 season, so I'm just not going to bitch and moan as much as I would if I was more inve$ted. I can see Kirby getting tired of the BS, but maybe not for a few more years. I'd love to see another Dawg NC, but I don't see that happening. Maybe if they make Nic Saban the top man in college football, and they lay down some reasonable rules, I might get more excited again.

Bobo surgery...

That type surgery typically takes 9-12 months to recover. When did he has surgery, and who does UGA have available to play center?
I don't think he's good HC material, but what do I know? And, Cleveland??? :lol:
Can't blame him. He was injured a good bit the first half of the season, wasn't he?

Cignetti looked at their production/performance before taking them, not star rating. Then, he and his staff coached and planned their asses off.

This IU coach has put together a great staff and the right mix of players. I am very impressed. BTW...Kirby needs to start using this portal and NIL $ better.

I read on a different message board that Bowens is thinking about leaving.
