Not counting then-unbeaten and #2-ranked South Carolina last year as a big game is misstating things, IMO. And including Clemson as a big game is definitely misstating things. Nobody at LSU considered that a big game. It was a shitty bowl against a no-name opponent and nobody cared one whit about it. Also, I think Florida last year should count as a big game. So, Mett has lost twice as a starter in big games. One of those was Alabama last year, when he threw for about 300 yards and we would have won except for terrible mistakes that were not his, and not his fault.

Seems to me Mett has shown up pretty well in big games.

And to say we haven't given up 30 points in the last 4 years is silly. This is 2013, not 2011.

I agree to a point, but past performances are at least somewhat relevant when predicting a future one. If they weren't, we'd have no way to predict who would win if Alabama played Savannah State in a season opener.

I agree except that people here are trying to say South Carolina is not a big win for Georgia.

Agree. Throw out Murray's games in bowls games as well.

Agree

Now we sound like Tennessee fans.

If Mett is better, we score a TD on the last drive instead of missing a FG (I know this is stupid to say. Just as stupid as the things folks are saying about Murray).

To some (maybe not you) UGA's losses are Murray's fault.
