I agree, Memnon. Beck lost his security blanket - that big TE from last year and it shows. And we all know Colbie - he’s good but not a game changer. Lovett is fast but he doesn’t scare me.

Etienne is Etienne. A decent RB and that is all. Nothing special.

And Beck cannot takeover a game singlehandedly. There were times last week against Bama that I thought he was legit lost out there.

UGA is absolutely not the UGA of 2022, and I agree we’d match up well against them. They still have some depth in the 2nd and 3rd teams that we don’t quite have yet, but that’s about it.

No doubt we badly need the bye week. Just get thru the Cal game with a W and no more injuries and I think we'll see another level of play vs Louisville.

I will say I absolutely slept on VTs running back but that dude has been lighting everyone up

Louisville will be a challenge for sure but I think Cal is a better running team so it should be a fizzical game again, and 100% the bye will be huge

I think we'll be fine. The defense got a bit embarrassed so I think we come out VERY motivated. And Cal defense hasn't seen a qb like Cam Ward, they've seen.......checks notes.......Payton Thorne & DJU lol I think we win pretty comfortably, not blowout but 10-17 type spread.

He’s rather knowledgeable about football so I think he knows what he is talking about, especially regarding DBs. Some teams are considered much stronger than they actually are because of performance in recent years. For instance, basically every pundit said FSU was winning the ACC this year, but they might not win 3 games. It’s not all due to bad coaching , they simply don’t have the personnel.

I haven’t watched much UGA but it’s entirely possible they have don’t have the talent in the secondary that people assume they do (especially for a school that has virtually unlimited money to buy players). And can’t argue with the observation that UGA doesn’t have an explosive offense, while we definitely do. Could bad coaching on our part ***** up any advantage we might have? Yes. I have my doubts about the decision making of our HC and Coordinators. But personnel wise I think it would take a very strong defense to stop our offense, and I think our D is actually pretty good when it is healthy at all positions.

Not in this situation. Again, I love where we are as a program. But beat the breaks off Georgia? Come on dude. Also, he posts some good stuff. I respect all on this board whether I agree or not. But we didn’t beat the breaks off Virginia Tech who was 2-2 at home. We would not destroy them.

UGA & VA Tech are different types of teams that pose different challenges.

You can't assume that because we almost lost to VA Tech, that it guarantees that UGA would just beat us. UGA almost lost to a much worse Kentucky team & actually did lose to Bama. So what exactly does that say about them?

Basically, you're arguing that you think UGA is just head & shoulders better than us, and that's mainly due to their past successes & not their current roster this season.

Man, you're really reaching and reaching a lot.

Did I ever say that VT and UGA are anything, similar, or dissimilar? No, I didn't.

I didn't guarantee anything. I think if we play UGA, we'll be seeing better talent across the board than we did against VT. It's really that simple. The potential is there to lose and until we beat a team with that kind of athleticism, my money is on them.

You stated that Bama was really good and UGA is the most overrated team in the land. I called you out on that. I didn't try and make it any more than that. UGA was a one TD loser after being down 21 points in the first quarter. At Alabama, on their field, they almost staged a massive comeback. Nothing about that says overrated.

You then spun that saying Bama tried to coast to victory. That isn't Bama's style, nor is it most teams down 21. Most teams keep pouring it on and the team losing usually folds like a cheap suit.

Now you want to bring up Kentucky against UGA. They just beat Ole Miss at Ole Miss. They came within a hair of UGA on their home field. South Carolina handled then with ease, a team who only has one loss to LSU by a field goal. At this point in the season, record be damned, Kentucky appears to be a solid team who has hung with one top 10 team and beat another. .

I also said that UGA is a step below their past few seasons. I'll elaborate and say they aren't the juggernaut of years past. With all their athletic talent, realized on gamedays or not at this point in the season, they could play with anyone.

Did I say head and shoulders above us? No. It's almost as if our fans have an inferiority complex about this team. We're a team that's still proving ourselves. We've looked good in doing so until this past weekend where we trailed most of the game, at home, against a 2-2 VT. The same VT that lost to Rutgers and Vanderbilt. Rutgers has been playing some ball, albeit beating absolutely nobody. Vanderbilt got beat by Georgia State for the love or all that is football.

You think we're a good match up for UGA, but not Bama. All of 7 points seperated them. We can agree to disagree on things, I'm fine with that.

I still stand by what I said prior that your adjectives to describe those two teams is bizarre. It's an opinion, so there is no right or wrong, but in the real world on the field of play, opinions are sorted out.

When we were good and would beat down ranked opponents, silly fans would often chant overrated. It happens everywhere. That chant diminishes one's team implying the opponent isn't very good. One can't be very good (Bama) and UGA (most overrated) and only be 7 points different. The game wasn't miles apart, but close on the scoreboard either. Run with it though, I'm done on the topic and wasted enough of both of our time.

Nah bro I'm sorry, their DBs (on both sides) simply played bad against WRs that'll compete for 4th/5th on our roster at best (Again, outside of the 17 year old). Yes, DBs have bad days, and they aren't suddenly trash..but ain't no way they performed like that because they played against NFL receivers. Them boys are NOT it.

Folks love Bama and UGA 😂😂

Your entire argument hinges on us playing a close game with VA Tech & therefore we would lose to UGA, because they're more talented. You're making the logical leap that a close game against a less talented equals a lose against a more talented team, but games are not won & loss on talent alone, it's a matter of matchups vs styles.

You didn't call me out on anything, you saw that I said UGA was overrated & it triggered your response. Which is what always happens on this board whenever I say anything about the Mighty UGA.

Bama absolutely did play conservative after they got the lead on UGA & it can be objectively seen in their play calling. Once they got the lead they stopped throwing the ball down field, they ran the ball more & called mostly screens. After they went up 28-7 this exactly how their possessions went:

As it can be clearly seen, they didn’t take a deep shot until late in the 4th quarter, everything else with their play calling was just trying to play keep away & change field positions. They were not trying to pour it on, because if they were, the play calling would reflect that. They ran the ball more AFTER they gained a 21 point lead, not before, so what does that tell you?

The whole premise of your argument is you take issue with the idea that I think UGA is overrated. If I had said UGA was really really good, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. Simply looking at the final score does not tell the story of the game, only losing by 7 points doesn't mean they were within 7 points for the entirety of the game, they mounted a comeback because the team that was beating them very obviously took their foot off the gas & momentum shifted.

I said UGA is overrated because having watched them in every game this year, they absolutely are. This is not the UGA that has won National titles, they lack significant explosion on Offense, they don't have the playmakers that they've had in the recent past & their Defense has glaring holes in their Secondary.

They can be beat & they will be beat by multiple teams this year, I guarantee it.

Was Al Golden the HC when we had FSU on the ropes (I think they won the title that year), but then he decided to sit on the lead and play conservatively, and we ended up losing?
 
I dont think Alabama nor UGA are top 4 teams, so chew on that.

Also i dont see any elite elite team as yet.

See if one develops.

I think Bama loses twice, UGA 2-3 times.
