    Some of Dawgnation finding it hard too accept the reality of State Fromm, others are blaming coaching, but the real question is what happens next year?

    The performance of this team reminds me of 1980. The fan reaction does not. That team struggled offensively where the offense was "give the ball to Herschel". The defense carried the team to a National Title (in case anyone doesn't remember). Our quarterback completed only 1 pass in the NC game. The defense bent but did not break. I don't remember much fan grousing from that year, granted the internet was present and Dawgnation wasn't around. I love winning, **** or pretty. The alternative is always ****. Please, let's appreciate what we have while we have it.

    Hi Bill, since you brought it up I’ll affirm by saying a hearty “I agree.” The QB development at UGA under Kirby is simply not that good. It’s sufficient, but not good. Fromm has clearly regressed this season. He cannot blame it on Fields looking over his shoulder this season. Is it Fromm himself, his (lack of) coaching, Kirby simply not seeing the obvious? What?

    After the third game last season, a reporter asked Kirby what the plan is for using/developing Fields. Kirbys response: “we don’t have a plan.” Well Kirby, you should’ve had a plan then and it’s obvious you don’t have a QB plan today.

    We’re recruiting major talent for the WR and TE spots for the future but who will get the ball to them? Seriously-who? Let’s all admit it that as good as Kirby is at recruiting, his QB decisions have been sub-par this far.

    I live in the Harrison High School district. Both our sons attended HHS. We saw both Justin Fields AND Trevor Lawrence play in HS. Both from GA yet we have neither for the future. We did have one but Kirby “didn’t have a plan.”

    "That team struggled offensively where the offense was "give the ball to Herschel". The defense carried the team to a National Title (in case anyone doesn't remember)"

    You have selective memory. That 1980 team averaged right at 30 points per game. about 8 points per game better than Notre Dame. I seem to remember Notre Dame having a significant size advantage along the trenches. It was a defensive struggle and Walker pretty much was the deciding factor along with that junkyard defense. But it was a different game back then. You're comparing apples to oranges.

    The angst here is that LSU is averaging over 50 points per game or there abouts. Or in other words more than twice as many as Notre Dame in 1980.
