Beat-up Georgia football team opens as favorite over Florida
Georgia football has several injuries, but the Bulldogs are favored to beat Florida in Saturday's game in Jacksonville according to Las Vegas oddsmakers

LOL!
I have worried about CKM's ability to judge QB talent for the past three years. Now, we've got the world's greatest junior college quarter back (sarc), who has 5 interceptions in the last 2 games playing in front of 5 star recruits who are able to throw the ball more than 45 yards in the air.
We have to beat Florida to have any chance of reaching the SEC championship and beyond. That means we have to outscore Florida. Can we do it with Stetson?
Given our injury situation, I'm shocked at this. I expect this point spread to drop (or we even become the underdogs) as the game approaches.
Offensively, it appears doubtful from the performances to date. Not "showing anything" in the Kentucky game is a possibility, but that has to be proven this Saturday. If we leave anything on the field this weekend, winning will be a task. On the defensive side, the depth of talent can handle the loses to injury, but there could be an emotional aspect with the loss of Richie. His circumstances could be devastating for his "brothers," or it could be inspirational. Let's hope for the latter. Go Dawgs...Beat those lousy stinkin' lizards!
I do not see UGA a favorite. Especially now that LeCounte is gone and a rookie is replacing him. How good is Major Burns? Davis returning? Too many injuries. I suspect the Gators will attrit a few themselves....especially after the brawl. But they have Trask and he is improving weekly. Looked good against Mizzou. Buried them. He has the strength of the long ball. UGA does not in Stetson Bennett. Our backs are very good. Positive note. Cook is catching short passes. Zeus is showing what he can do now. Kendall Milton is a workhorse. Kenny M is a speedster we need on returns and sweeps. Hopefully...we can regain use of the WRs. What a waste. A good strong QB would employ them every game. Oh well. One can hope UGA receives the miracle I have asked for. FL will be high on "Mullen"....something like Gatorade.
I think his loss will inspire defense!
All teams experience injuries. Get over it. Our defense is loaded with depth, so I'm not worried at all. Next man up...offer no excuses...finish the drill. Either we have the talent, coaching, offensive scheme, and QB development to be an elite team or we don't...which is it?
GO DAWGS!!!
Talent -yes
Coaching - no
Offensive Scheme - no
QB dev. - no
You don't lose half a dozen starters on defense and be the same team. Maybe come game time it's only 3-4 but if Cine is out and LeCount is gone then there goes you're two starting safeties against a very good passing attack. Take away the big guy(future 1st or 2nd round stud at noseguard) and now you are much smaller up front. We've got lot's of edge rushers but the D-line just got more susceptible to the run game.
Run game weaker, pass defense on the back end weaker, QB can't find the open guy. Yeh, Just get over it. LOL!
I would say it's a yes to the first 3 and a no on the last. Smart has never lost to Mullen, even last year with all the issues on offense we were having. So it's hard to say coaching and offensive scheming are at issue when it comes to beating Florida. If that last box were checked yes, there would be no question about the other two.
I was responding to the question of if "we have the talent, coaching, offensive scheme, and QB development to be an elite team". Not whether we can beat FLA. I stand by my assessment.
To DawgTat and anyone else doubting Kirby, give it a rest. Saban was ahead of Kirby and everyone else in the offensive transition. Kirby will catch up very soon this year is probably not the year to over take the Tide. I ain't giving up but I think we are still a bit short on QB and WR development. If Kirby and crew can pull off a championship this year it will be coaching feat for the ages!
