If noise were the losing factor for TN...then UGA would have lost every game at TN. Specious reasoning. UGA defense and offense won the game, Rick. It is that uncomplicated. Crowd helps but does not determine the outcome of a game. UGA would relish a rematch with TN...to that point.;
Keep saying it, Mr Neuheisel. Over and over. All the way up until game time, if the game happens.
Saban and Bama is the only team with the political wherewithal to make it into the playoffs as a second SEC team. If we have learned anything about the playoff committee, the rankings leading up to the one that matters is nothing more than window dressing to create talking points for the national media.
Last year, the Dawgs were undeniably one of the top four teams losing in their conference championship. The committee will do everything possible to avoid the heat of once again taking two SEC teams. They will be pulling hard for UGA in the SECCG!
Once again, UGA gets zero respect.
Neuheisel is still salty about the UGA from his playing days.
Rick, you should know this, but the CFPB will NOT pick two teams from the same division.
The ONLY team who gets afforded the privilege of getting in is a Saban coached team.
No matter how many points Bobby Hill puts on the board, they won't get considered.
It will be interesting to see what UTjr does next year when all of their top players are gone with NO backups.
So Hypeal ran the score up instead of giving the backups valuable playing time? Do I have that right?
There's a reason UGA's defense hasn't dropped off this year: those kids got put in last year when we had put teams away.
Go Dawgs!
Like Kirby says. "Keep choppin'." Take each week as it comes. Execute as best that you can. IGNORE THE TALKING MEDIA HEADS. Move on.
Hey, Coach, did you watch the game? UT scored their only TD in garbage time against the second and third string. UT had their chance to prove it on the field and got absolutely dominated in all phases of the game. CKS could have made that score 50-6 but chose to play for the future instead of “pretty points.” Just like Bo Nix and Oregon could beat UGA now. Well, Bo, try taking care of Washington first. UGA has dispatched every regular season opponent for almost two years now. That’s not a fluke. What happens on the field is what matters and not the rambling rants of a many years removed Coach.
I absolutely agree with loranwhaddaygot - this is how a great team continues to be great. CKS seizes the opportunity to get the backups valuable game experience. How many backups, and I mean the guys that don’t normally rotate, can say they got snaps against the #1 team? Invaluable!
Go Dawgs! Bring on the kittens!
Just more fuel for the fire. Keep it coming.
Those things he mentioned, I'm not that worried. But to beat the same team the 2nd time in a season is always much more difficult. I'm more worried about those 3 times the Tennessee players got behind our defense. We have to eliminate those the 2nd time.
I agree because when UGA lost to Alabama in the SECCG, I told my friends there’s no way they were losing to Alabama twice. And they won the NC. Let’s just play it week by week and hopefully UGA stays focus and get the job done. Be nice for back2back celebrations!
What he failed to say was that the Dawgs offense was dismembering the vols and w/o sloppy turnovers that could have been a 30+ game. Dawgs scored at will. Rewatching the game there was only 1 realistic complaint of an incomplete down field pass by Tenn. the other 2 I have heard people talk about would have had to be perfection and which doesn’t happen often let alone when you are getting hit on 50% of your drop backs. Rematch Dawgs would win by 20+
Nah. The crowd noise isn't why Tennessee crumbled to Georgia's physicality. And the crowd noise isn't why UGA's DBs were able to cover Tennessee's WRs man to man.
Tennessee had their fun but they benefited from a down year in the SEC. The Saban thing at Alabama has just about run its course. Auburn and Texas A&M are messes. Arkansas, LSU, South Carolina and Florida all have recent coaching hires and are rebuilding. Next year would have been ideal for the Vols because UGA will lose Carter, Beal, both Smiths and Ringo from the defense as well as Bennett and Washington from the offense. Unfortunately, the Vols will lose Hooker, both WRs and their OL. They are going to take the same year 3 dip that UGA did with Smart. Year 4 will be no relief because even if Alabama is done, not only will Florida and LSU be ready for their runs but Georgia will have reloaded. Texas and Oklahoma join the SEC that year too, and Arch Manning will be playing.
This year was Tennessee's best shot and they didn't get it done. If they want to be a real contender for the long haul in the SEC, they need to ditch that offense. The spread didn't do anything for Texas A&M or Auburn in the SEC - just the flash in the pan Johnny Manziel, Cam Newton and Nick Marshall seasons - and Tennessee won't be able to maintain anything with it either.
It comes down to better players better coaches better football team
