Yeh, maybe one who can lead us to the NC. THat would be cool!
“Our tackling alone last week was the best I've ever seen it.”
Have to agree with this statement at least a 1000%!!!!
This game still reminded me of the “prolific “ offense Hawaii supposedly had in the blackout Sugar Bowl ……but , where every time their receivers made a catch, they were put down hard….much like the Tennerssee game!!
Go Dawgs!
We had a KEaris Jackson sighting! I predicted he would show up big against Tenn. I was one game off.
As a rabid fan since 1957, I waited 23 years for the first NC of my lifetime and then another 41 years wandering the "close but no cigar" desert (almost biblical) before another was ours. I'm going to appreciate each and every victory that we get. The perfection nitpicking is for Bama fans. I don't care how we win, just that we win (and I don't mean cheating or dirty playing). The Missou game made me thankful that we have the coaching and talent to win a game where, for whatever reason, we were off our normal mode by a lot. In our 1980 NC season we won 6 games by a touchdown or less. At the end of the year, all that matters is that we won.

You don't get better if you don't acknowledge mistakes and work on them. I've been a Dawg fan since youth (also class of '99) but that doesn't mean I can't see things to improve on that are plain as day. In my post, the only one I may not stand by is the one about Bennett making some risky passes b/c I do realize he can't see the field the way we can from the comfort of our homes.
My whole point is that I trust Kirby and the staff to do what is necessary to get the team ready and make adjustments as the game goes on. I'm not going to stress over whether we win by 1 or 51. The players are young men (most are on the cusp of boys becoming men) physically but still in the boy stage emotionally. These men are still learning and growing. Most are sponges soaking up the coaching of a remarkable coaching staff. While the staff is made up of professionals, they are still human and make mistakes. Sometimes what looks like a mistake is actually an opponent making an exceptional play of just being in the right place at the right time. Conversely, sometimes what looks like a brilliant call is due to the same circumstance of chance.
As I said, I'm going to enjoy the big wins while they are coming because nothing lasts forever, just ask Alabama.
