It may get worse?!?
It may get worse and I am not talking about the economy, I am talking about UGA’s season. We were exposed in a bad way on Saturday night and you say well we just played a bad game, not so. We played the best we could but we were man handled in both the offensive and defensive lines. Our second half come back of sorts may actually make some people think that we just played poorly in the 1st half but sorry let me wake you up, we have a long ways to go and any thought of winning the national title are long gone.
First things first, we must beat a very good Vanderbilt team, for the record I think we will but with Florida, LSU and Auburn still on the horizon, we could easily lose 2 out of 3 of those games. Ok I know some of you are starting to hate but let me just say that I have thought from the beginning that we were a year away. (that is if Stafford and Knowshon come back)
So with all that said being ranked 11th seems right, if we correct some of our short comings, which translated means our lines grow up, we might slip back into the SEC title race and that would not be a bad thing.
Go Dawgs!!!
are you going for munson’s job? one of his characteristic trademarks was that no matter what the score, he made you feel like you could still loose, or that the team may not be “all in.”
here’s my take on it:
1.) we were out-coached – on all fronts! until the second half.
2.) injuries all over the place – you simply can’t plan for that.
3.) recruiting – we have to do more to balance recruiting on o-line and d-line through the years. stafford’s good only if protected. moreno’s good only if gaps are opened.
4.)i think florida and auburn are beatable by us – lsu is the toughest on the ticket
5.) if we win the remainder, we have an outside shot at nat’l championship game. that’s a big if though.
6.) i think our 1st half inhaled profusely (you can translate that as you like) – i think our second half showed our intensity and passion – we gotta play 60 like that and not just 30.
7.)although not there in person, our fan base is awesome – doesn’t look like a lot of people left – although i know some that did after the 1st half. our crowd hung in there and backed the dawgs and helped fire the team up
8.) we gotta heal and it’s good we’re off this week, because it’s not going to get any easier in terms of the physical game.
i think #11 is probably right, i think usc SHOULD NOT be ahead of us since they were beaten by an UNRANKED team and we were beaten by a #10 ranked team – but that’s for another day…
