From Athens - Game Day Friday # 7

Mike Honcho wrote: Great post yd1. Like I said yesterday, I'm taking the stance of being "pessimistically optimistic" on the rest of the year. We have the IDEAL opportunity to set up the rest of the season...get a solid win with 4-quarter performances from both the O and the D this weekend...get some valuable playing time for the 3/4 deep, and take advantage of the bye week to prepare for UF. If the team takes a mature approach to the next 14 days, i.e., don't overlook Vandy and stay focused during the bye week, we have a shot at the only blemishes on our record being from the first two weeks of the season.

The good news is, we're starting to see a team developing the talent/depth to compete consistently again in the SEC: running game is looking much improved over last year, defense is all but shutting down the run, and blair, drew, et al are pulling it together on special teams. If the players treat every practice snap as a chance to improve, we could be looking at a pretty impressive football team by the end of the year. GO DAWGS!!

No not at this time and it would appear that no other teams in the SEC can play with these two teams.

This would be true for many of the other teams in the country.

One will play for the NC.

The state of our team is we have an excellent chance to finish at 10-2.
