After the Hawaii game their quarterback was interviewed. He whined that they "didn't get to play their game." As if our defense unfairly deprived him of the stage he was accustomed to playing on. Yes, that's absolutely what our defense did. He spent a lot of time on his backside in his own backfield. We ran a three man rush.
It was hugely fun (for Dawgs).
I watched a good bit of the BYU Coastal Carolina game and all of the second half. It was a super enjoyable game for me and probably everyone watching other than maybe BYU fans
I'm not disparaging of anyone's point of view about CC. Of interest to me were the comments by the announcers concerning the coach for Coastal particularly his comments to his players. He told them you don't have to be big and fast if you are in the right place and do the right thing using good technique and leverage.
I'd say that Coastal hugely embarrassed BYU by following their coach's directions and advice. Coastal was clearly smaller looking overall, but they played like they knew what to do and very much wanted to get it done.
Great game.
They'd be honored to play Georgia. I suspect they'd give the Dawgs a good contest kinda like Hawaii did.
Having said all that, on any Given Saturday...
The only Saturday I'm worried about is this Saturday. Missouri is a very good team. Probably better than Auburn by a good little bit.
Go, Dawgs!
Thx to all of you who have responded thus far. Very interesting comments. I know a little about the game but there is so much more that I can learn and I always appreciate the thoughts and opinions of my fellow Dawgs fans. Like every good Dawgs fan I always go into each season hoping this is gonna be THE year. And it’s always painful to say “Well maybe next year”. But to be totally honest before the season started I didn’t think we’d even have college football. Guess I was pessimistic and should have had more faith.So yes it was disappointing with regard to we didn’t reach that coveted height again, but it was Great to see college football. I’ve got a Ton of medical problems maybe the good Lord will give me yet another season and another.......... God Bless You All. I hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas !! Go Dawgs !!
This is definitely a step-back year for us, but I wouldn't throw CKS and the team too far under the bus. We've got a new OC, a question mark at QB until recently (with a QB who is just recently cleared to play), an OL that lost two 1st rounders, and the list goes on. I do agree with everyone that we need to open the offense up, but I think we are seeing that happen. I compare us to the same teams that everyone else does (Bama, Clemson, Ohio St.) and would like to see us hold up a trophy as much as anyone else, but I think we are getting the right pieces in place. Our horizon is looking as bright as ever, with Daniels and Vandagriff competing at QB, a talented group of WRs out there (and a pretty good TE corp, too), some of the best backs in the country, and a defense to brag about (minus a couple of games where we gave up too many yards in the air...)
I think if CKS and Monken can get a relationship where Monken can run the offense as he's shown he can do and CKS can focus on the defense, we are going to be a scary team.
GO DAWGS!!
@latemodelray , Clearly you aren't watching the same George Pickens like the rest of us Dawg fans. Yes sometimes he makes a dumb play but talet he does not lack. What you fail to realize is that not only does Pickens gets defended by the opposing teams best DB but he is also double covered by the safety which makes it difficult for the QB to throw him the ball. That's why its critical for other WR's to step up and for us to have an accurate throwing QB. Obviously you didn't watch the games last year when we had a QB that could get him the ball...and I wasn't a big Fromm fan but but he did throw accurate passes to George.
Go Dawgs!!!!
@DallasDawg , You make valid points except I don't think Florida has ever made the College Football Playoffs though they have played for or won a couple of National Titles since we have. Outside of LSU and Alabama over the last several years, UGA has been favored to win, they just haven't done so. That's in-game coaching not a lack of an elite program. I guarantee if Saban, Spurrier or heck even Gus had our roster over the last four years, UGA would have at least two Nattys. Kirby's philosophy of bend, don't break on offense and toe the line defense cost him those opportunities when the other coaches mentioned would have adjusted...
Go Dawgs...
"D’Wan Mathis inexperience in the offense"
That's a polite way to put it.
