I hope Kendre plays. I want their best shot and I just have a feeling our defense is going to play with a little more of a chip on their shoulder to finish off an amazing year.
Yeah hope so also. If we win, don't want any of that, "well we played without our best player". And to the 2nd point, this defense should he hungry to put the last 2 games behind them. The "young defense" name should no longer exist. They've played big time and big games. Also didn't play so big. Like what was said in the other article, this defense needs to play their most 200% game of the year. There's no more chances left to quiet the critics. This is for history and the legacy going forward.
I agree with all said about wanting to play the best they can field. These days, seems everyone is looking for a reason to why they failed, didn’t accomplish or lose at something. We have, like all teams this time of year, our own injuries. I want TCU to be able to line up and take their best shot. These Dawgs will respond. If they don’t, the best team won. No excuses, no whining! Go Dawgs!

I have mentioned this in the past. The only people who made a big deal about injuries impacting the game was entitled Alabama. And while the Tide is entitled - which makes watching them lose so much fun - even their griping was because of 41-24 with 0 turnovers with Metchie and Williams versus 33-18 with 2 picks (one returned for a TD) without them 2 games later. That type of dramatic turnaround - very fast and directly attributable to a single factor - is unprecedented. And UGA benefitting from pretty much the same thing the next year - getting torched until Marvin Harrison Jr. gets hurt - only makes it even more so.
But that is entitled Tide fans reacting to an unprecedented set of circumstances. Otherwise the aforementioned Ohio State (who was also missing their best WR and best WR before the game and lost their starting TE during it), LSU, Tennessee etc. ... none of them are talking about the players they didn't have for the games that they lost to UGA. The same was true of Michigan against UGA last year. And this year, Michigan isn't talking about not having Blake Corum against TCU where an inability to run the ball - especially in the first half - was the single biggest factor (on the field anyway) why they lost by 6 points. And Corum was their best player: he wins the Heisman easily and is one of their few 1st round picks if he doesn't get hurt.
So personally, I do not want Kendre Miller to play if he isn't ready because I don't want a minor knee injury to turn into a career-ending one. Also, if Miller doesn't play, you aren't going to hear TCU fans say "if we had Miller we would have won" if the Fighting Protestants lose a close game. Reason? Not being entitled like Tide fans, and not having blown out UGA by 3 scores with their missing talent a mere 2 games prior like Alabama did.
Those Bama fans fail to mention we were missing multiple star receivers all year including Pickens who returned in a part time role against the Tide catching 1 pass. Also, a fun note is we played Bama with our back-up (former walk-on) QB because our starter (JT) was injured earlier in the season. Imagine Bama last season without their starting QB (Bryce Young). Go Dawgs and excuses are for losers!!!
