That game will be a war. UGA has one of the most talented rosters in CFB and Kirby’s goal in life is to beat his daddy once. I like our chances but it’s gonna be an all our battle.

I disagree. Normally I would say a matchup between these two would yield what you’re predicting. But losing all but 2 starters offense, plus what Bama will return on defense (not just starters but additional experienced leadership we missed the majority of the season) and the offensive weapons returning, only having to replace one OL, etc...

This game being at home, realistically it could get out of hand. Talent helps but I could actually see UGA losing 4-5 games next season with the attrition they’re about to go through.

Loved both of these guys. We’re used against primarily entirely different offenses than what we face today and not sure they’d be able to handle modern offense as freshmen.

They seem to possess this logic when they are 6'3 WR.

Or Clemson has a head start on us thanks to having spread offenses longer and is generally thought of as the “fun place” to play. Guess what a lot of kids like...fun.

The more I watch film the more excited I am to see Tim Smith next to Barmore in the future. Will be an incredibly disruptive front

We lost by 3 on the road to a top 15 team and fell 7 spots. Michigan got blasted by damn near 30 points at home and fell 1 spot.

So forgive some of us if we find this to be a little odd

All the people clamoring for an 8 team playoff need to realize this is pretty much a poster year for why 4 teams is fine. LSU, Clem and OSU are all shoe ins. The rest are all arguing for a 4th spot and I’m not convinced that 4th team isn’t going to be similar to Notre Dame last year in that they’ll be more of a sacrificial lamb.

I don’t think Utah or Oregon could beat LSU. Oklahoma maybe? But even then LSU has already won the Big12 shootout before.

Realistically we may be able to give them a good game and beat them with Mac, but my point is aside from us and maybe OU I don’t see 3 more teams that really look playoff worthy. 4 teams is fine imo

I don’t remember anyone claiming he was 100% Gary

I’m looking forward to this game for two reasons.

1. LSU now has to gameplan for 2 QBs, and two different styles of play. Potentially means overloading their below-average (for them) defense.

2. Tendencies and deficiencies they may see on film of our defense could not exist by the time we play. Our defense is young, which means most of the errors are likely due to youth, and that’s something that lessens with each passing day obviously. A lot of our woes have been lack of understanding of assignments, and overrunning was he play. Both of those could be dramatically remedied after two weeks of prep.

Glad this game is at home, but this past week did a lot to ease any discomfort I had heading into this matchup.

one play that causes for me some consternation is when we wrapped up one of the running backs at about the line of scrimmage, could never stop his forward progress, and their linemen pushed the guy and several of our defenders about 8 yards for a first down.

---

Yeah but at the same time that play should’ve been blown dead once that 22 man scrum formed and stalled for a couple seconds. This is not rugby and I’m not trying to watch one of our last remaining original starters go down because the refs were in awe of the human amoeba

The only redeeming factor about this pile of shite was not listening to Gary

---

Idk listening to Griese basically accuse us of homecookin with the refs then swearing up and down that roughness penalty was bullshite was pretty annoying

No the secondary was bad and we had no edge rushers left.

The only thing that sucks here is your take

On the field, most of the teams of today would absolutely smash championship teams a couple decades or more old. The evolution of the athlete and the game itself, even 2001 Miami would be sucking wind having to play 80-90 plays on defense against dual threat QBs and RPOs. Not to mention half their secondary would be ejected for targeting within the first quarter of play. I won’t even bother debating a team from 1971. It would be a mismatch of epic proportions.

SDH against Ohio State for example

This sucks

Get the checkbook out. Gattis flipped in like 30min. Run it.

You could make the point that everything that went wrong had to do with Saban.

I understand that people often use this logic, but I’m not a fan of the notion that because a head coach exists, all others are absolved of accountability for their mistakes. If that was the case only supervisors should get fired when someone into the company screws up.

Life doesn’t work like that. Football shouldn’t either.
