We have to be able to recruit big time wideouts. Hope Brian can go get them for us.
He didn't say "we (UGA) probably would've lost". He said he thought it could've been different. That's not a stretch, but, what is an exaggeration, is their influence on the NCG. If I recall correctly, Metchie and Williams, both, played in the game against A&M, AUB, ARK and LSU...all, games that either they lost, tied or barely won.
So, that dog don't hunt. UGA had the defensive weapons to stop them and would have in the SECC Game, if they hadn't have tried to get cute on defense. The Dawgs went back to what had been successful all year in the CFP, crushing Michigan and outplaying BAMA in the Championship, much the way they dominated all year.
Everything I hear someone say, "the game has changed", I just laugh. The game is and always will be the same. Offense has to move the ball into the end zone and defense works and schemes to stop them...simple. The only real change in the sport since I was a kid in the '60s-'70's, is that players coming out of high schools are more and more prepared for College level play.
Kids are without a doubt, bigger, faster, stronger, more athletic and have a greater football IQ (probably due to the internet and video games), than they were when I played. Yeah, you had the occasional freak and steroids was a big thing back then, but for the most part, offense and defensive fronts didn't look like a SEAL Team. William "Fridge" Perry was a freak when entered the scene...now, he's small and slow compared to the guys playing the game today.
Bottom line is...defenses, as in the past, are catching up to offenses and so the cycle goes. That's the way it is...it's the way it always has been...it's the way it's going to be...unless they completely reboot the way the game is played and the objective.
As I have said often this year, defense STILL wins championships. 😉
1 person on here said that Metchie needs to drop it, that's it. All of the other comments were directed toward BAMA fans. Nobody disagreed with his answer, but the question is moot and the answer predictable. Are you a BAMA Fan? Is that why you are offended?
Funny how no one mentions Adam Anderson & Blaylock being out or Pickens not being full speed.
Agreed, and it is not just that no one mentions it...that question is never asked of UGA players as in "How much more would you have beaten them by if T. Smith, A. Anderson and D. Blaylock and T. Etheredge and J. Salyer and A. Smith etc. were able to play?"
Doesn't really matter, of course, since we won, but Bama fans (not Metchie) continuing the "What ifs....?" is just funny! and sad!
Go Dawgs! National Champions! 1942, 1980, 2021
I had respect for Alabama. No longer. What a bunch of whiners! Accept the loss and move on like people with class do.
Bama lost mop closet is in the back . Dawgs fans need rain suits for all them big ( gator like ) tears. No one outside of our own fan base had any sympathy or care when Our players got injured at iinopportune times and lost games because of them being injured down through the years. So to bad for them ( Bama). It’s SEC football players are gonna get hurt at times. Dawgs = National Champions !! Ain’t It Great To Be A Dawg ??!!??
Yep...remember when we lost AJ Green, Todd Gurley, Nick Chubb, George Pickens, the list goes on and those injuries really cost us in those seasons.
I find if funny that this article about Metchie is headed by a picture of him being defended by Dan Jackson. Don't get me wrong, I like Jackson and think he will be really good for us (he is already good and his take-down block on Ringo's interception return was killer) but he was not the starter.
So Metchie and saban and all you bama clowns, shut up. It's football. Injuries happen to both teams.
