    Piggy-backing on my prior comment, if the starters don't get the prep they need and/or leave everything they have on the field, that'll be a bad sign of things to come in the 2021 season. Conversely, if those who participate (players and staff) do so to their fullest extent, this should not be a close game, and it'll bode well for 2021. In other words, we'll see what this bowl team (i.e., next year's team) is made of. Go Dawgs!

    All I know is, IF UGA wins this game, then every senior that opts out, should NOT be listed in the record books with tied number of wins. Because technically they didn't play, so it shouldn't count as a wn for them.

    And the comment about "explaining the loss" if Cincy beats them. I will, UGA is overrated. Because so many people talk about the depth, this and that. Let's see. The 2's and 3's are going to get their shot.

    Never thought that I would see so many defensive players scared of playing against another real good offense. I guess after 2 whoopings they took, they have had enough. Cause they look good against jv offenses they get to play, but against real offenses, not so much. I guess if they don't get embarrassed, it won't hurt their draft stock as much.

    Georgia's going to bring 90% of it's first string offense, and 20% of it's first string defense. It should make for a fair fight.

    Can't wait to watch the offense do their work, and to see how those young pups on defense perform. GOOOOODAWGS!

    “I never thought I’d say it, but if this continues, I’d say let’s bring back the BCS and the computers, because it would be a fairer system than what I’m seeing now,” Aresco said. “This is the seventh year and it does appear that the deck is stacked against us and against other G4.

    Couldn't agree more. Expand the playoffs to 8 teams - (5) Power 5 Champions, Best of the non-Power 5 (like Cincy), and 2 At-large bids.

    Dawgs need to bring their A game to the field in the Peach Bowl. Cincy is the real deal and should provide plenty of competition. J.T. Daniels has been great since taking over at quarterback the last three games, but he’s also facing by far the best pass defense he’s seen this season. Cincinnati is second nationally in pass efficiency defense and tied for second in interceptions with 15.

    GO DAWGS!!

    WWACD "What Would Alabama & Clemson Do" if they played Cincinnati? I guarantee the game would not be close. If UGA wants to be considered among the elite programs, then we better play like one. I don't care about the number of players not participating, we STILL have 4-5 times the talent/depth that Cincy has. I'm hoping for a dominating performance. Anything less is an underachievement and the pundits will continue to give us the modicum of respect we so often see.

    EXACTLY!!!! Regardless of the number of players opting out, UGA still has far superior talent. This game should not be close.

    The Cincy defense is being rated #2 in the country in Pass Efficiency Defense is a little deceiving. How many teams did they play that were from a Power 5 conference and of those how many were ranked in the Top 10 in the country on Offense? That would be a true measuring stick to determine how good their defense is at this time. Mizzou had a highly rated defense and we saw the outcome of that game.

    We run a away with this one 45-21. Go Dawgs!!!

    "What Would Alabama & Clemson Do" if they played Cincinnati? I guarantee the game would not be close."


    I agree with this sentiment and have stated on here many times that we should wax these lessor opponents, like we did against Missou when a lot of folks were biting their nails. BAMA or Clemson would dismantle this team by halftime with their best players.

    That's the only caveat, how many of our best are going to play. Even still are the 2nd stringers going to be fired up with their chance to shine on the big stage? That's the coaches job. Anyone can send a bunch of 4 and 5 star guys onto the field and with talent alone beat lessor opponents, but Saban and DABO usually get the best out of whoever is on the field. Reload!!

    The Bearcats are playing the game of their lives and will have the sycophants in the sports media fawning all over them if they upset Georgia.

    The Dawgs have everything to lose in this game. Self-respect is the biggest thing. On top of that, it will show that the players we are recruiting may be 5 start athletes but place no value on loyalty or brotherhood.

    Please show us who you really are and give the Bearcats a football lesson. GO DAWGS!!!
