    The standard is motivating enough.

    Hold the line boys!

    I see, OSU's huge loss to Michigan provides impetus to win, while poor UGA won the SEC plus all seasonal games for the first time and this fete simply gutters the motivation....I see. Yep....UGA is doomed. 13-0 is a real downer. Come on. Motivation is the CFPC...and UGA is plenty motivated to that end...believe me. A perfect record and 2nd championship....nothing better...that is pure motivation. Let's quit with the psychology and jump on OSU! How's that for motivation?

    Motivation is, "let's beat OSU and hopefully get to show Michigan what a Joe Moore Award winner should look like". Let's go do it again. Just like how we embarrassed them and their heisman finalist last year. Worry about OSU 1st and foremost. And then let the offense and defense loose on Michigan.

    Kirby has the recipe.

    Go, Dawgs!

    The truth is this. Kirby will instill the killer instinct and his team will execute.

    Both of these teams are good, it comes down to which has the will and the desire to overcome the other. We have seen Georgia play with their backs to the wall this year and come out landing haymakers. I expect the same with this game against tOSU. tOSU will get punched in the mouth over and over and their softness will come through. Georgia by at least 14! GO DAWGS!

    Last year's "motivation" was Metchie and Williams tearing up their knees, people. Yes, it was Alabama's fault for not having recruited more depth at WR and TE, as well as bad recruiting at OL that prevented them from being able to run the ball more effectively in response to those WR injuries. But folks, Alabama won 41-24 because they had 1st round pick talent at QB and 2 WR spots to exploit the UGA secondary, particularly since the QB was mobile enough to roll away from the interior pressure and get rid of the ball to WRs capable of separating from the DBs quickly.

    What happened in the title game wasn't the result of extra laps. Instead, the pass rush got to Young because the backup WRs couldn't separate quickly enough like the starting WRs could. Even there, Young was still able to get the ball to the WRs more often than not. The problem was the backup WRs having at least 5 drops including 2 drops in the end zone.

    Again don't flame me. UGA won because they had the better team. Building depth is part of building a team, and yes UGA had a bunch of injuries to its WRs and other positions during the season too. And as building depth is the job of coaches, let it be said that Smart, Monken and Lanning out-coached Saban, O'Brien and Golding. But the reality is that with a healthy Metchie and Williams - or even a healthy Metchie OR Williams - all that "motivation" wouldn't have mattered. The national title game score would have been about the same as the SECCG one.

  • Maybe Thadec. We’ll never know. Same as the incorrect offsides call a few years ago. It’s easy to say those things after it’s over.

    And BAMA evidently didn't recruit well enough to win their way into a playoff berth this year. Maybe next year they'll recruit better. Or you could coach em up.

    I think every coach in College Football in America (with 2 exceptions) wishes they could have BAMA's recruits to work with. No sympathy here.

  • reddawg1reddawg1 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    When you think about a former walk-on beating the Heisman winner, it should eliminate every excuse imaginable. Even the laughable excuse that BAMA "recruited" poorly.
