I'm with Pollack on this. As long as the recruits keep coming they will keep winning. We do have some really solid plugs but having to replace Dean will be a challenge but they will still be really good..and will agree that the offense will be best UGA offense in a long time. I'm excited to see how far this offense can go. Sic Em Go Dawgs!!

[@ericduncan7266]

@@spencerclarke2289 I disagree. Dean was a beast. Jordan Davis had nothing to do with dean running down running backs and QB’s after they scrambled outside the pocket. Look at the Michigan play where dean ran across the field to tackle that player well behind the line of scrimmage when the QB threw the ball to him. That had nothing to do with JD

[@CinHotlanta]

There's been a definite increase in scoring, but since Saban started at Bama in 2007, the target for winning a championship is a defense that averages 15 pts allowed per game, and you have some leeway the better your offense is: Team Year ChPPGA Rnk ChPPGS Rnk Georgia 2021 10.4 1 37.4 8 Alabama 2020 19.4 13 48.5 2 LSU 2019 22.4 29 47.2 1 Clemson 2018 13.6 1 44 4 Alabama 2017 12 1 36.4 13 Clemson 2016 19.3 13 37.8 17 Alabama 2015 13.9 2 32.7 38 Ohio St 2014 22.1 19 45 5 FSU 2013 11.1 1 52.9 1 Alabama 2012 11.6 2 37.6 13 Alabama 2011 7.7 1 35.2 18 Auburn 2010 24.1 44 39.6 7 Alabama 2009 12.6 4 31.1 24 Florida 2008 14.3 6 41.6 6 LSU 2007 19.9 14 42.5 1 Mean 15.63 10 40.63 10.53 Median 13.90 4 39.60 7 Mean (last 5 years) 15.56 9 42.70 5.6 Median (last 5 years) 13.60 1 44.00 4 Mean (first 5 years) 15.72 14 38.00 11.2 Median (first 5 years) 14.30 6 39.60 7

[@makesmartTROYces]

If we're only 10 pts per game worse than last year then (if we adjust to last season) we would have only been .2 ppg allowed more than Alabama, thus slotting us as the 19th best defense in the nation

I think the NCAA should allow players to rerun to college if they are not happy with their draft pick. Yea I’ve heard all the arguments. So what.

[@nicholaswoods4055]

Lmao

[@tajm9220]

Nope. The NCAA is dirty enough as it is. Doing it your way, sports agents AND the players would be given another avenue to launder money. Most agents will give their clients nice advances. Think most college kids can pay those loans back? Again, I'm not naive. I know it happens all the time but making it easier is asinine.

[@MetallicAAlabamA]

I meant to comment on Dawg Talk when Georgia beat the Crimson Tide for a the national title back in January, and I just wanted give congrats and high praise to a long awaited feeling that you guys deserved. I don't think Georgia is going anywhere! I do think they will have a national title defending year like Alabama had in 2010, and then continue to build on the possible dynasty that I have no doubt Kirby is going keep strong. But before I go, just remember that Alabama is still the king of the SEC, and college football. Just a fact, not making up stories lol. Roll Tide and maybe we will see you guys come December.

How does UGA do it, by playing in the weak ass SEC East, as opposed to the SEC West. In the SEC West, UGA would get eaten alive.

[@aaronjones6178]

Eaten alive? By whom? GA has beaten most of the west opponents recently. Who besides LSU and Bama have proven that they can beat GA? Georgia is 6-1 against Auburn during Kirby’s tenure. Arkansas? Funny (2-0). A&M? Took care of them in 2019. Miss State? Nope (2-0). Ole Miss? Possibly; but not likely. However, they did get the win during Kirby’s first season (0-1). But honestly, outside of Bama, which of these SEC West teams could eat UGA alive? Be real!

[@theblackdog2399]

@@aaronjones6178 The SEC West is exponentially far harder relative to the SEC East. As UGA being in the weak ass SEC East is like Clemson being in the weak ass ACC. Indeed, neither UGA nor Clemson 't have to play anyone, as it is always a cakewalk. Thus, since it is always assumed UGA will win the SEC east division every year just like it is always assumed Clemson will win the weak ass ACC, UGA like Clemson is always over ranked relative to better SEC teams in the SEC West every freaking year. Meanwhile, if UGA was in the SEC West, they would be a middle of the road Alabama bitch just like everybody else. Moreover, in 2017 when Kirby finally lucked out and won the SEC, it was only because Auburn who at full strength had destroyed UGA the week before, then became decimated by injuries. Otherwise, Auburn would have embarrassed UGA in the SEC title game again. Then after UGA almost but not quite embarrassed the SEC by coming within a hair of losing to OU, UGA comes back to play for the natty against the runner up in the SEC West, which is Alabama and then guess what? In embarrassing fashion UGA loses the national championship game to Alabama, the SEC West runner up. Which meant that in 2017, UGA was maybe the fourth best team in the SEC that season, as LSU was the only team in 2017 to have beaten Auburn when they were at full strength. Nonetheless, for years all we heard was how great Kirby was because he lucked out and won an SEC Championship in 2017. Yeah he did, with the fourth best team in the SEC that season, give me a break. Then even last year, UGA was drummed by Alabama in the SEC title game, but still gets in the college football playoffs to force a rematch in the national championship game. However, by that time Alabama had become decimated by injuries at key positions and ends up barely loses the game. In other words, for UGA to finally win a natty after 41 years, Kirby had to get lucky as shit again. Otherwise, UGA would still be without a natty today. If UGA had to play an SEC West schedule every year, their national rankings would be far lower because their record would be far worse. And yeah, LSU, Alabama, and Ole Miss from the SEC West have owned UGA. Meanwhile, nobody has squandered away more elite talent without anything to show for it in the SEC and in college football other than Kirby Smart. Not only that, but no other head coach in America has choked in more big games other than Kirby Smart.
