Concur. Mizzou's young QB Connor Bazelak tallied 380 yds in the air Sat. against a stubborn Ark. team. Kid is good. Linebacker Nick Bolton is very good also, plus razzle-dazzle RB Larry Rountree, whom I have mentioned many times before. If UGA can win this one it will make a bold statement. MO coach Eliah Drinkwitz, in his first year, is showing what he is made of...winning. He took a very good App. State team to 12-1 last year before moving on to Missouri. He has won 5 of his last 6 games. Kirby is going to have to let all the Dawgs out to win by 14 pts. against this improved team. Yeah, if we win by 1, I will smile. UGA must contain Bazelak to be in this contest. JT must be playing at the peak of his game as well.
You still have to control the line of scrimmage offensively if you're going to throw downfield. There are no 3 step drops and throw 30+ yards downfield. The QB and receivers need time and that's not happening if you don't control the line of scrimmage.
Regarding our defense, I've been more disturbed by the scheme than the talent especially against Florida and Miss State.
The only ranking that matters at this point is the ranking that will allow us to play in a New Year's Six Bowl after we win these next two games.
My last post was in response to Jim Wallace. His quote disappeared somehow.Sorry, Jim.
What a joke this OPINION ranking system is. Keep your opinion system and double the playoff contention number. Margin for error goes way down with an eight team playoff system.
UGA would destroy Coastal Carolina. I am not saying we are in the top five but we absolutely belong in the top ten, ahead of Coastal Carolina! Are you kidding me? It will likely be thirty years before Coastal Carolina is in the top ten again.
You want to score more points, get the playmaking receivers the ball! 60/40 receivers sounds about right..
P.S. I do not see anyone stopping Bama this year. I hope the gators get demolished on the 19th.
I do not have anything against Coastal Carolina or BYU. Watched a descent amount of the game. Just my impressions, but both defenses looked slow, especially at the line of scrimmage and both looked undersized. I think Georgia would push either of these teams all over the field and would just about score at will. No chance either of those teams could stack up to Georgia's size of speed.
Offense? Georgia has too many athletes on the other side of the ball. Either would struggle moving the ball on the Dawgs, with both QB'S running for their life most of the night.
Coastal is a nice story - that's it... Throw Georgia out; this team gets smoked by 10 of the 14 teams in the SEC and likely loses to all but Vandy. They had better hope and pray they catch someone playing in December. If they play in January - they are going to get embarrassed.
Why are people talking about Coastal Carolina? Are they making a play that they should be National Champions? LOL.
Look, every year there are teams that get ranked too highly because they were undefeated. Last Week it was BYU. I mean, BYU beat UTSA (I mean, who???) by 7 measly points. BYU beat schools like Boise State (who won by 8 points against Hawaii... oooh), Texas State (2-10), Navy (3-6), etc.
Now, Coastal looks even more pathetic in terms of wins. 3 point win against #25 Ragin Cagins. 14 point win against (0-9) Kansas. Wins against schools like GA State and GA Southern? Oh lord, these are the type of schools that SEC teams PAY to play. 1 loss and they'll be out of the Top 25.
Why shouldn’t these teams be ranked ahead of us? We have 2 bad losses to the only quality teams we’ve played. We are a big time program, in a big time conference. Everyone REALLY should expect more from this team. And let’s not start with the laundry list of excuses about this year. EVERY team has had a f—ked up year. I commend BYU for playing that game last Saturday. Much respect. Shows some balls, even for a bunch of small, slow, white guys.
I haven't been on here for a while now since JT Daniels has been the starter. And like I said then and I will say it now for those who doubted me about him playing in the Pac12 as a 17old Freshman; UGA would probably only have one loss and that's to Bama. Kirby is finally acknowledging he has slowed us down in a round about way but its his way of admitting he was wrong. Daniels has been the answer all along. We will not only beat Mizzou but dominate them in every facet of the game.
For those all up in arms that our program is not where it needs to be, are we looking at the same film? The only thing we're missing is a National Championship. If we were in another conference, UGA would be in the Playoff's every year but we won't be afforded that opportunity unitl we figure out how to beat the Tide. C'mon UGA fans, I want it all just as much as the next fan but to say we aren't on the level of Clemson and OSU is simply laughable... Put them in our league and let's see how often they make the playoff's or better yet make it thru the regular season with less than two losses.
Go Dawgs!!!
We couldn't run against Arkansas and Missouri opened holes a dump truck could run through. I don't know their system, but I would like to copy it. Can't believe they have higher quality O-Linemen than we have. Got to be the coaching and the system. On the other hand their defense made Arkansas's offense look pretty good. We should be alright if we can stop the run. Hope we have the big man back on the D-Line. He's a difference maker in the run game.
@WayxATLdawg89 But Alabama and Florida ARE in our league and except for the past three years, both of those teams regularly competed for the playoffs. I believe that both Clemson and OSU would contend for the playoffs if they were in the SEC. They may not get there as regularly because they would have to go to a division and compete against Bama or UGA or Florida. But they would definitely compete, and would win. Facts are just facts. Kirby has done well, perhaps even very well. Still, in five years he has 1 SEC Championship and zero NC. Would Clemson or Ohio State have done better in that same time span? We'll never know, but I wouldn't bet against it if the rosters remained the same.
And I would submit that we're missing more than just a NC. We're missing that level of consistency that says we're going to win every game regardless of the opponent. Alabama has it. Clemson has it. OSU has it. No matter who they play, they're always favored. When UGA gets to that level, then we will have fully arrived.
Hey my fellow Dawgs fans. First let me say I hope you are all doing well and happy as you can be under the circumstances. Now a question, and that’s All it is a question. But with all the hype swirling around Coastal Carolina now, would y’all like to see us play them in a bowl game this year ?? I have nothing at all personal against Coastal. They have had an astronomical year. Congrats to them. That said I echo another Dawgs fan that likened them to how we played HI and devastated them. I fully agree. Unless something is really, really bad for the Dawgs it would be the same results. They are a great team within their own conference. But sorry No Way they match up to the Dawgs. Unless we had Even More injuries and about five or so key players out In Addition for discipline reasons or something . This is just sports writers reading the hype. So speaking only For Ne, I say Bring It !! And shut allot of sports writers mouths, Just Like the Dawgs squashed all the hype when they played HI !! Remember all the hype the HU Warriors had coming into that game ?? The Dawgs (and playing clean to) almost hospitalized their QB !! To the point I was kind of feeling a tad sorry for the kid !! And the kid they trotted out to replace him didn’t fare any better !! They want to diss the Dawgs, then receive the wrath that comes along with it !!
Yeah navydawg, I was at the Superdome for the Sugar Bowl when we played Hawaii. They (media) hyped up their offense and especially their qb. It was a blackout game and I was sitting around the 35 yard line, almost looking down the line of scrimmage, and we smacked their qb hard in the mouth (cleanly) on the first play of the game. I felt bad for him too. By the third quarter I’m not sure he knew which sideline to run to to get off the field. He was totally shell shocked. Moral of this story: Take what the media has to say with a grain of salt! Go Dawgs!
Thx BornADawg !! One thing we’ve seen over the years is if you want a fired up Dawgs is for the media to over hype a team that on paper should be a lesser opponent. That really seems to get under the entire team’s skin and makes them have a “We’ll show You “ attitude !! I think This Dawgs team has a big ole chip on their shoulder and itching to get it off !! We’ll see if that’s the case when they play Mizzou. I Sure Hope they go in there hungry !! They Need to. If they beat Mizzou very soundly at Their place. Then IF Vandy shows up beat the snot out of them. Go to what ever bowl game they go to and win big it will take at least a smidgen of the bad taste out of the whole Dawg Nation mouths, Coaches, Players, Fans and all. I think most Dawgs fans will concede the Bama game at Their house was gonna be an uphill climb. The hated mud lizards just caught us at a Very bad time. Yes we lose allot of great guys after this year. But Allot of our younger guys got Allot of vital playing time. So the mud lizards better savor the flavor cause there may not be a repeat win for them next year. Just my opinion but I think JT Daniels is the Real Deal !! Go Dawgs !!
George Pickens is turning out to be one the most overrated players at UGA of all time. Media types cant stop talking about him and his play has seldom to never shown on the field. Only time you notice him during a game is a crucial drop or doing something that he shouldnt that cost the team.
I pray as 2020 draws to an end so will his time at UGA
As for Coastal being ranked in front of us ..... Who cares? All hopes at a title left with another disappointing year full of excuses with CKS'. He was hired to win a title. He replaced a great guy who was able to constantly win 10 games and compete. So far we have an awesome recruiter who can do less with more talent than any coach i have ever seen. He should get 100% credit for getting some top player to Athens. After that .....
