Kirby Smart is from the Nick Saban school of coaching. He'll never , ever be content with the team he has, he'll always be looking for ways to make them better.

[@TheMCJ2011]

As he should. Gotta make sure that DLine is ready to go this season.

[@katarh]

Ever hear of the grocery store Ranch 99? Their motto is " We strive for 100." That's Kirby. Even if the world thinks he's at 99% he's out there trying to squeeze out that extra 1% of performance because he knows that all it takes is RNGesus blessing the other team for your game plan to crumble.

[@JustNope7]

Kirby is from the school of The University of Georgia. Guess by your rules Saban is from the School of Bill Belichick. Both "retired" at the same time. Odd. Both left on bad QB play compared to previous years.

I can tell you what i saw lol im not a georgia fan at all but was at the spring game wit a fam member and just the pure eye test when they come out the tunnel my goodness the have some beautiful looking players everywhere....they have DUDES at every position and the depth is real

Can't wait to see them travel to Austin to face the LOADED Longhorns. \m/

Ronald, no disrespect but please don't refer to my dawgs as beautiful

[@photo2george523]

Great. Great win Georgia… beat FSU’s 4th string. Didn’t Georgia lose to a lowly 2-lost Bama ? 😅 SEC was a joke this year.

[@davida730]

The WR room is absolutely insane. Thomas, Lovett, Young and Humphries are all proven talents to varying degrees. Bell had flashes last season. Then throw in if Arian Smith can finally put it together and the potential of Evans. Feels like this could be the number 1 passing attack in the country if needed.

[@jimmyjam5453]

Young is a NFL receiver.

Humphreys won't be used alot this year, he has 3yrs of eligibility left, but he will play some, but transfer kids with only this season at UGA, I expect we see more of Colbie Young, Michael Jackson III, Benjamin Yurosek etc as far as the transfer pass catchers go

[@nickbeef4824]

This looks like Kirby’s best team from a spring outlook

[@pincfx]

Depends on if and how much the front 7 improves from last season.

Good luck. Texas hasnt been in the league yet. Bama is not 2020

[@user-fs1fx8dt8f]

As a bama fan you guys will beat us we look soft from what I saw this spring we will be 8-4

[@oej2k3]

I am more cautious of Texas than Bama at the moment. We play Bama early in the season, and we will be their first real opponent. The Texas game is later in the season, giving them time to get better as a team.

[@ericduncan7266]

@@oej2k3and you don’t think Texas feels the same way about Georgia getting better as a team lol

[@Becca.Long09]

Yes. Roster is going to be real tough this year. Go Dawgs!!!

[@k.c.gillespie1452]

It's a sad day in college football when a coach has to worry about pushing players too hard for fear of them entering the transfer portal.

[@dawgdayz4884]

Trash players. Next man up like at uga.

[@TheMCJ2011]

Yeah, that’s why many people say cfb is ruined.

[@Jason0800]

He has no fear If you're scared say your scared and leave we got more waiting

[@chrisshields5448]

What is sad is that if the player is that soft, he will never get drafted to the NFL. Just look at the teams that put the most players into the NFL....thats from pushing people to their maximum potential.

[@BreadTastesGood]

As a Clemson student....I am scared for us

[@pgcountyy3668]

Y’all are cheeks😂😂

[@bri0013]

Man I hate it for you guys. I never bought into the Clemson hype until the end of the season following the 2nd Natty. When I finally bought in Dabbs.. they swan dived.. like damn bro. Hope Clemson finds their way.

Georgia has a monopoly on champion mindset

[@tangofett4065]

There’s a lot of weirdo bots here today. That’s nuts. Dawgs looked tough. Gonna be a great season! Go Dawgs!

[@larrymansfield9393]

Complacency is the last thing Dawg fans are worried about. I’m looking at this season as revenge for the 3 point playoff snub from last years pathetic committee.

[@the_bottle_imp]

Facts. There was a lot of political pull exerted to keep UGA out of the playoffs.

[@daltonpalmer3897]

Cry harder. You should’ve beat Bama to make it in.

[@bignickscroggs123]

@@daltonpalmer3897get a life kid. 2 teams got snubbed cause politics knew it was Saban’s last year. You’re delusional is you see that otherwise.

[@Steeledawg]

In my opinion the offense was setup to test the linebackers and secondary because of the depth and youthful experience.

[@slavefeet57]

I noticed this to! They were really pushing the DBs and the runs I saw weren't anything to creative. I really think they wanted to see which part of the secondary was going to sink or swim. Overall I think they all did pretty good. There wasn't a single back that was picked on or targeted

[@motivateddedicated98]

Really? Go figure Georgia is gonna be goo at TE, they have 4 of the last 6 #1 TEs on their roster

😂 and we're in line for like the number one and two of the next class. People keep acting like it's weird that our TEs are this good.

Every team being covered during its spring game is packed with 4 and 5 star players Everyone has the best team And will win the championship. Not going to happen. Too many teams are in the same conferences, for it to happen. Undefeated teams are going to become even more rare in big time college football. Just like in the NFL.

[@TheMCJ2011]

Cool story. Georgia still winning the natty this season.

[@davids9520]

@@TheMCJ2011 It could be. But with Texas and Oklahoma joining the conference. Things are going to be more difficult in winning championships. Just like in the Big Ten. Plus more play off games make it harder to win all the games.

Top 5 roster, top 5 defense, top 10 o line, top ten linebackers with the best freshman in the country as an early enrollee already getting first team reps and learning fast, top 5 rb room.

Its more that our D is elite than our O being just average

[@FOTP1983]

I said the same thing when I watched the 2021 spring game hoping the defensive line was just that good. We saw how that turned out. Hope this is the case again. Go Dawgs‼

[@SolarCrown]

The O line looked weak certainly in the first half but did improve as the game went on. By the end, it seemed like they were really holding their own. But yes, at the end of the first half I thought they were embarrassed...

Bama’s gonna be a little downhill this season in my opinion. Ohio state and Texas seem like the best teams to beat Georgia this year
