ATHENS — Georgia will have its final home SEC game of the season this weekend.

I'm a proponent of the 24 team playoff. Why because Bowls are meaningless, no one shows up and players sit out. This gives us 23 games now at the end of the season that mean somehing. Just pencil our name in for the next 20 years.
The crowd will be into the game as long as the Dawgs themselves are into the game. Just like at Ole Miss. Their fans were fired up at the start, but it's a little tough to have that same vigor when you're getting whipped 28-0 (should have been 31-0) at halftime. So, if the Dawgs play this Saturday like they did last Saturday, Kirby won't have to worry about the crowd. I'm glad Kirby has confidence in Woodring right now. I'm worried about him. And finally, of all the guys who've been out, the one I would most love to get back is Tyrik Green. I just think his speed and elusiveness can be a game changer for us, both as a DB and as a return man. Hope he's 100 percent by Saturday. Go Dawgs!
Amen Dallas !! If our Dawgs are doing great then the Dawgs fans will be all fired up !! Like you I see Huge potential in Tyriq Green !! What’s troubling me a little bit, not much but some. Is why isn’t Kaden Prothro seeing the field ? I’d be completely and utterly shocked if he’s viewed as a bust !! I’m thinking he hasn’t met Kirby’s blocking standards yet.
Though it was verses a sweeet cupcake in TN St. Prothro scored a TD in like the second time the ball touched his hands !! Like with Green I see Huge potential in Prothro. As there’s no redshirting anymore I don’t understand why. Course there’s Allot of guys in front of him with more time at UGA than him. So that’s part of the answer.
I have absolutely nothing personal against Canion. But I’ve seen yours and other fans comments that he hasn’t shown much. And I agree. I’d love a heaping helping of crow !! I Want Canion to be very successful as I do with All our Dawgs. We need as much firepower as we can get on Both sides of the ball to get that Ntl. Title trophy !!
We Need Woodring to get past the bad psyche that’s got in his head !! Distance is not a problem. But he’s pulling the ball in a bad way. You could clearly see the ball veering to the left almost the moment it left his foot !! I think it’s all in his head. We’re gonna need him in future games !! Go Dawgs !!
Thanks @navydawg. I don't know why Prothro isn't playing more but if I had to guess, it's a combination of so many more experienced guys ahead of him AND (and I think this is more of the issue) he probably isn't doing all the things in practice that will let him see the field. He has all of the physical tools but we all know that with Kirby, it's about more than talent — or even the lack of talent. If he's missing blocks or assignments, he ain't gonna play. That's just my guess.
Yeah, I know I seem harsh about Canion and I apologize about that because I do not know him. And because he's a Dawg, I REALLY want him to succeed. But I watch him closely when he plays, both on TV and when I see the Dawgs in person, and I just don't see a lot there. Unlike Talyn Taylor, Dandridge, Blackshear and some other receivers, when Canion is on the field he generally doesn't get open. He's a big boy and Kirby talks a lot about that but for all his size and experience, in the games that he was healthy in, he just didn't make a difference. And then on Saturday at Ole Miss, he drops a pass that while it was slightly underthrown, still hit him right in the chest. Fortunately, it didn't make that much of a difference in the game's outcome, but then you look and see Taylor catching everything near him and that's why I keep saying the Dawgs don't truly need Canion to win. On a night when he (Taylor) was the ONLY Georgia wide receiver with a catch, the Dawgs still won by 35 — and it could have been by more.
And like other Dawg fans, I have NO CLUE about what's going on with Peyton Woodring. We all know what he's capable of but he's not even living up to his own standard this year. I'm not going to say he's useless because he is capable, but he really needs to figure it out. He's always had that draw to the left on his kicks — even his extra points — but in the past he always seemed to adjust for that on his field goals. But not this year. I'm not a kicker so I'm unsure as to why. I'm hoping Kirby has somebody (maybe Kevin Butler) who can work with him on it. Go Dawgs!
SEC teams playing on the road this season have a much better W-L record than those playing at home. The Dawgs only loss to Auburn was in Sanford. Other than a very, very few select games, stadiums, and times, you're really no better off playing at home. Dawgs destroyed the Rebels in front of a raucous Oxford crowd at night.. Kiffin was embarrassed in Tiger stadium just last weekend.
I am here for the 24 team playoff! Lets do it
