As one of the people who thought South Carolina was Georgia's most dangerous game. I will try and make the case again. South Carolina is not the best team Georgia will play. In my opinion that is either Auburn or LSU. However South Carolina is the second game and for that reason is a more likely upset. It is much more likely that Georgia's DB's and/or LB's will make unforced errors in the second game than in either the 7 or 10 game.
Everyone who does not agree that FU would beat us is my guess, but anyone wanting a UGA win over FU is a bad fan
1...uf should never be a "bad" team...2. All uga fans want uga on top of a powerful east vs a down east...3... even though there is a playoff its still a bit of beauty pageant.....it also bears repeating ...uf should never be bad.
It's due to recent history. Looking at reality rather than history, one can see that Florida has a significant talent gap and they will be switching to an entirely different system on offense which will ultimately take a lot of time for the players (who were recruited for a different system) to learn. They are 2 years out (at least) from being truly competitive (assuming they recruit very well and the transition goes well).
We really have little gauge of where UF is, we only have how they performed under a previous staff to go by.
They have recruited well enough to field a good team.
Also, we did lose a lot in both production and leadership, all at key positions.
We're ''rebuilding'' the secondary, ILB and OLB units, our top RBs, LT and leading receiver from 2017 are also gone.
⬆️⬆️⬆️ This.. well said
First, I never mentioned any specific post or anyone by name, but its funny you seem to think I was talking about you.
Second, I never said the gators didnt sux. And I hate them just as much as anyone. But you said "anyone who thinks the gaytors can beat us is delusional." That's a very broad statement implying that anyone who doesnt agree with you must be out of their mind. If you stand by your statement, then pick me.
Again I will point out that I bet OSU fans were extremely confident when the buckeyes rolled into little ole Iowa. Do you honestly think that Iowa is better than UF (even during an off year).
Its not a matter of not believing that we can't/shouldn't win. Its a matter of believing that we could possibly lose.
I understand, but the biggest red flag about the game is the same for both teams. It’s early in the season for either side.
BamaDawg quote of the day: I expect to win every week, but i also understand that we are going to get everyone's best.
Kirby learned this from lord Saben (I'm assuming for all you Ga lawyers) and is the reason history has no bearing on the future I've never seen Georgia teams better prepared each week, though I do question the Auburn game last year.
Still believe SC is the most likely game Georgia could, as in potentially and not predictively, lay an egg. Auburn is closest in talent and my greatest concern and LSU will just be fun. It will also be fun pounding the swamp lizards AGAIN and the orange people up north.
11-1 not sure what will happen in the SEC championship game with Bama but should be another epic matchup.
Time to watch some Dawgball gentlemen!
Beware of the 1998 and 2008 final scores of the UGA vs UF games after beating them by double digits in 1997 and 2007. We also went to Death Valley and beat LSU in 1998 and 2008, just like we're doing in 2018. Remember what happened with Auburn and Mizzou in 2013 after being horrible in 2012. You never know how a team can turnaround in one year. Dan Mullen with UF gives me a lot of vibes of Gus Malzahn with Auburn. Just saying. Historically, UGA has hardly beaten Florida in back to back years by double digits. Next season it'll be a nail biter. Close win, close loss, or UF blows us out. Plus, the UF game comes before Kentucky too. What happened against South Carolina in 2012, Auburn in 2013, Florida from 2014-2016, and Auburn in 2017? All of those games came before Kentucky on our schedule. Georgia has lost a game for 6 consecutive years before Kentucky, 5 of those being in blowout fashion. 2011 was the last time we won a game before Kentucky, when we blew out Auburn in Athens.
if you dont think we are reloading at running back i dont know what else to do for you. Swift and Holyfield as your 1/2 and a very underappreciated herrian at 3. plus the #1 and #3 running backs coming in a fresh blood... as far as Wynn moving on, how many SEC teams have a guy the caliber of Andrew Thomas coming in to take the job at LT? as a true soph he will be one of the better lineman in the entire conference next year. several guys at OLB showed tons of potential if given the opportunity to contribute this year. i agree lots of talent left but some of yall talk like they guys on the roster now will not make any reasonable improvements over last year. the only place a see significant drop off is at ILB only because roquan was that special.
Yes it is and most likely Georgia is going to win easily. It is the unpredictability off the second game that is worrisome. South Carolina has both a good QB and a very good wide receiver. I can see the chance for this combination to cays trouble. I think that Georgia is going to be ready for Auburn after last year or I would be more worried about them. I do not know how to predict the Florida game. Who is going to be their QB how much better will they be with all the felons back. Does LSU have a QB?
Only Swift has proven he's in either Chubb's or Sony's class as a player.
As for Thomas, it's not clear he'll even win the LT job yet, but obviously he's a mature and proven talent.
As for replacing Roquan with equal results, it ain't happening.
The secondary we lost was together for most of 4 seasons, that will be tough to counter.
Also while neither Carter or Bellamy developed as pass rushers the way many thought they would, last season they were excellent at holding the edge on running downs, that was critical in our success on defense.
Thanks for the stroll down memory lane, however this is a different capn driving the ship. You’re right, UF will be tough but they are not talented enough, nor will we be ill prepared to blow us out. Jordan Hare aside, I’m not thinking SEC teams blow us out. We will win these games. USCjr: 31-17. LSU: 20-17. UF: 21-10. Auburn: 34-20. Bama: 28-24
