Notre dame can’t be beat!!!!’

I disagree…if there was 1 team that benefited from the long break it was uga…we were wounded all season…this version of the uga team will be better running the ball and extending plays.this team is extremely battle tested ..we shall see

And to add..Beck was anything but good this year…I can’t count how many times we had to beat the opponent and Carson’s bad play. He may throw an nfl pass but our receivers do not have nfl catching abilities. Stockton will be fine..

This is about health…uga was beat up all season.The team was the walking dead with injuries playing a freshman rb with basically no back up. We won in spite of Becks bad play for most of the season. They have 3 healthy backs now including rb number 1 and healthy lines on both side of the ball. Unless Stockton gives other teams points this will be a better version of Uga team that is much better battle tested and will grind hard to get yards and eat clock ..could be wrong but Jmho…

But some of us uga fans didn’t share our opinions about that shithole…I mean Nola ;)

I’m definitely poor..I’m Married :)

This conversation drives me crazy..It’s important to note that uga had a wounded rotating o-line and was missing a couple of key players that we will have now have back on defense for a significant time during the season.

Also of importance is that uga was playing the last half of the season with 1 single rb that was a freshmen…we did get rb1 back for the seccg but he wasn’t 100 percent…uga will have at least 3 fully healthy rbs back for playoffs Etn, Frazier, jones, and Rod Robinson with a dual threat qb that knows the system and we can run a lot of RPO designed for him… Beck was not good this year, a turnover machine…we often won in spite of his play.

Uga has the ability now to control time of possession when we can run the ball consistently and play good defense…it’s not a far stretch to think that we may be better on offense and equally better on defense as opposed to this passing team we attempted to be ( we lost our top 2 receivers before the season started) who repeatedly went 3 and out…if the oline holds we can wear out opponents with depth and bludgeon them in the 4th with fresh legs..which is Kirby ball.

To be honest ..I was amazed we lost as few games as we did this year and I never saw us winning the champ game with Beck and the health of our team. A healthy uga team can win with bully ball and a run game with a far less talented qb than Stockton at qb. Just mho…

Bad take..honestly

We could definitely lose..but I’m also guessing there is a good chance lol some people are going to be sorely surprised by a healthy uga team on the lines.. with most of our rbs back and 5 star with multiple years in the system who can run and pass and has almost 4 weeks to work on a game plan with the 1s. Beck is an nfl arm talent but has done us few favors this year with 70 quadrillion interceptions. Stockton brought us back from the dead in the seccg..uga about to be a ball hog and eat clock..he doesn’t have to pass down field all night …just keep the defense and line backers honest…guess we will see :)

We are close in agreement Johnny but not completely. I would prefer to retain college football as an Amateur sport with student athletes. The athletes nil is a private matter. Maybe their can be some form of department dedicated to helping with the NIL?If not, form a semi pro league that feeds in to the nfl.

You seem to indicate you believe we are beyond that point and we will have to include the university in some way with NIL You are probably correct in thinking so. I don’t see this money machine changing course, look at what coaches make per year ..wow

I prefer a non pro structure in which athletes go to schools they love and can develop and coach them and they in turn have pride to do so. Maybe i am right but im I’m obviously longing for the past.
Oh well , it’s a very engaging conversation and will be interesting to see how it all pans out.

Yes, if i understand correctly..in your scenario, the university(team) will be paying the players and will be placing them under contract. I think it’s clever and a “compromise” that is much better than what we currently have.

I still do not think a salary or any form of nil should be paid by the university to obtain/retain the student athlete. Why can they not get the benefits of the institution while exploring outside nil options. Athletes should be paid proportionately by how good they are via endorsements, arrangements, and private contracts they garner via other private entities. The market and their performance will determine their pay. . Popeyes, Coca Cola, Nike, ea sports etc this is a more proper use of NIL but that’s just my take, I don’t want the institution involved.
