    "EPIC" win!!! Really!!! This was a win by the skin of our teeth to a completely overmatched opponent. This game should not have been close. Is there even a single player on Cincinnati's roster that UGA would even consider recruiting??? Podlesny doesn't make that kick and these boards read completely different. As a so frequently comment on these boards - WWACD????

    What Would Alabama & Clemson DO????

    Hopefully, some young players got some valuable playing time, but the coaching continues to be the weak link given all the talent at their disposal.

    The edit on here made it look like I posted something **** in my first sentence. The word was u g l y That’s not exactly profanity . Wish they would fix this. But I’m very thankful for DawgNation. Least it’s free and we can come here and talk all things Dawgs.

    After reading just the first few most recent posts, I stopped. JT Daniels may be the greatest QB to ever play in Athens. Let's get used to a truly great QB in Athens for maybe the first time. Just like all of the greats, he has a few misses. But he makes them when it counts and puts some balls in places only our guy can catch. Plus, he was running for his life most of the day.

    Didn't want to keep reading down the page to see what sounded like a lot of negativity on JT.

    4th and 3? You go for it with only 3 minutes left. Disagree completely with you...we had to use all our timeouts on the subsequent possession by the Bearcats...but luck won out and I'll take it. Kirby was lucky.

    I still haven't heard an explanation of why after the personal foul at the end of the first half and targeting call that the next snap was second and two instead of second and 17.

    Did I miss something when their QB ran out of bounds and the clock kept running? I saw it happen twice unless I'm delusional. And I may be.

    How Bout Them Dawgs. A win is a win, either by 50 or 3. For all you that wanted Kirby to go for it when there was 3 minutes left in the game, Kirby showed why he is the HC and not you.

    In terms of JT, I think you have to keep it in perspective.

    He proved that he's not ready to be drafted as a first rounder THIS year. Still has to work on some items in the offseason. He should've thrown away some balls (including one of them that was fumbled), he made a couple of questionable throws and the one pass I DID see him throw away seemed like maybe he could've gotten a pass off.

    BUT, despite those items, it's very, very clear that he has the skills to match the hype and will be one of the top Heisman candidates for 2021 season. He is lightyears better than Eason was at any point of being with us and a much higher upside than Fromm ever did.

    As long as he doesn't do something **** like declare for the draft, it should be very impressive with him and then Vandagriff working hard to get a shot.

    Maybe you missed it. Ga was playing without 2 starting O-lineman, and every lineman was playing at a new position. They had just failed to convert on a short 3rd down, and the run game wasn't working. Meanwhile the defense was dominating. The strategy worked. Ga won.

    No, that's called not believing your QB can complete a short pass or your running game can make 3 yards. I still disagree. I am certainly glad we won, but we won by the slimmest of margins thanks to our defense and Podlesny. Heck, Podlesny had to break his own FG record and make a 53 yarder to win the game. Kirby has made some bonehead 4th down calls before, and we all know it. He was lucky. Period.

    I agree with Kirby not going for it on 4th down with 3 minutes on the clock but I do disagree with them having to end up using a timeout to get the punt off. However, in the end he played it just right taking the lead on a 53 yarder with 3 seconds left.

    I still wonder if JT is having issues with that knee. Under threw to many deep balls and had a significant limp late in the game. I certainly don’t think his performance today will catapult him to a first round prospect. I think JT knows he needs another year on 2 fronts, healing and seasoning. He’s not had that many college reps.

    You are 100% correct. We were extremely lucky to win. All these Kirby slurpers know we were lucky as well. If we had lost, which we did, everywhere, except the final score (luckily), they’d have started with the no offseason, COVID, new coordinator, opt out , etc excuses. EVERY team had the same issues this year. We were out coached and out prepared once again. Cincy had us dead to rights. Excuses are for losers.
