So........where are we next year?

I don't think it is too much to expect the D not to give up 28 pts. in the first half against Bama. I don't think it is too much to expect containment of a one dimensional triple option attack from Ga Tech after 2 weeks of prep. UF just plain blew our doors off so I will lay off WM for that one.

It is a difference of opinion. I don't think our defense has the raw talent to stay on the field with anyone except Sister Mary's Academy. I think that when a coaching staff recruits all of their talent onto only one side of the ball then the burden of protection falls upon the coach who gets the talent. Our offense did nothing to help our defense.

The offense has all the talent. The defense has very little. It is the offense's job not only to score points but to control the tempo and momentum of the game. They did not do that. At all.

You mention the Bama game. Perfect example. Our defense never had a chance to slug it out against Bama and we all knew that. The only chance our defense ever had was to stay off the field as much as possible. When the defense did go onto the field then we needed to throw everything we had into a high risk blitzkrieg. Our offense needed to control the tempo of the game so that our defense could take risks. With the offense going 3 & out the defense never had a chance. Now why did they go 3 & out? If you go back you will see that they spent most of the first half trying to establish the play action pass. With our OL versus Bama DL? Give me a break. It was one of the most ill conceived gamplans I saw all year.

Do you think the reason for that is because none of the \"talented\" players on that side of the ball don't want to play for WM? I see your point put there are Sister Marys out there that arent letting teams score 40+ points in a game! There are issues there if the offense is scoring 40+ the team shouldnt lose! :blink:

Totally agree with Getdown11 on MS and Bobo.

1. MS and KM are gone.....reason? lose too much money by staying
2. Cox will be the starter next year.....why? Knows the system.
3. Don't forget Jackson at RB....the kid can run
4. D....we need great DE's....biggest problem on our D
5. agree with averagedawg...need new special teams coach...absolutely AWFUL
6. OL will be one of the best at UGA next year
7. will see different play calling next year because of our OL
8. D will have another bad year under WM....a given
9. Walsh will be much better....believe he does have what it takes


10. Bama and UF in the SECCG again next year.

Does anyone know why WM is still here and not being fired?? This blows my mind. Richt needs to wake up.

The talent may not be there but rivals rankings say otherwise. I think for the most part the Dawgs have been recruiting consistently 4 star players for the past 3 or 4 recruiting cycles. Its up to the coaches to find that potential. After going down 31-0 at the half you can throw the running game out the window and forget about tempo.

I guess we can agree to disagree. I just feel in the Bama game the D holds in the second half and the Dawgs possibly pull out the win.
