I can't pull for Auburn, Florida, Tennessee or Alabama in any sport at any time. Especially Auburn.

Ah yes, the old screen pass.

All of us fans need to realize the number of DGDs is going to go down significantly in the coming years due to NIL and the portal. Fewer and fewer really good but maybe not superstar players will stay in the background when they can go somewhere else and get paid and play. Loyalty to a school is going to be a thing of the past.

Something has definitely changed. He has gone from "I am coming back to win a championship" to "I'm turning pro" to "I'm not turning pro but I'm in the portal". Who are his advisors, parents, agent? Did he decide he could make more next year in college than if he were drafted? Pro contracts are based on draft positions.
What is true is that the offense regressed in 2024. Lost 2 stud receivers who set records in the NFL. OLine lacked consistency. Running game not steady which when it is clicking takes some pressure off the QB and opens up the offensive passing game.

I can't remember the last time I saw roughing called. It seems like every one is a running into call these days with only the 5 yard penalty.

So, without a huge comeback by Oregon, bye teams will be 0-3. I hope we can be the outlier tomorrow.

And speaking of our WR recruiting. Neither Bowers or McConkey were highly recruited receivers. They developed into great players. So, what is the problem with GA attracting highly recruited receivers.

Gunner reminds me more of Fromm with better legs. Thicker than Stetson, can run but not as twitchy as Stet. Stet was very quick and made a lot of people miss. I don't see that with Gunner. The thing we didn't see a whole bunch of last night was downfield throws. He only had 71 yards on 12 completions. If he has to be the man, it'll be interesting to see how we adjust the offense. I thought we tried to run him more than necessary. Guess we'll see.

I read somewhere we can't do drones for some reason related to Ben Epps airport and the proximity of campus buildings

I was fortunate to attend a lot of these GA Clemson games listed. The 1980 game was a classic and the 1981 one of the most frustrating I've ever attended. Wish this series hadn't come to an end.

As for Buck, one thing I don't think he gets enough credit for is his leadership ability. Yes, winning makes it easy but still, he was a team leader and that gives him some credence imo.
