Well, CBS has UGA/AU as their prime time game this Saturday.
Beginning of this season, lots of chatter back and forth with Boise State folks. Both sides expressing their feelings as to why either team was better. Guess we found out.
Second game against Spurrier and the Gamecocks. We lost, however have to say this, have never heard Spurrier say that UGA (especially UGA) played better and should have won, he has no love for UGA. After thinking about that statement, most of the time Spurrier teams, especially the UF teams kicked our butts. Maybe we edged closer this year. Coaching does make a difference, yes . . .?
The Auburn bunch will come to Athens and this will be their chance to prove that there is a reason so many young folks leave our state and play for the Chizik Hoopty Team. For sure they don't have the highest paid college football player in history (I think) running their offense this year. He was the difference last season.
We have changed some things defensively, we are much better than last year on that side of the ball.
Here is the big question. Are we better offensively with another year's experience under our belts? Some will question our offensive line, and there are a couple of things to mention about the big'uns. They may not be the best, but there is a lot of talent elsewhere on the offense and if they play and are used properly, be hard for me to understand why we cannot win this game.
I feel that this particular game means more than many of the UGA/AU games have in the past. There are some young fellows out there that are looking or maybe teetering on which school to attend.
Maybe I feel too strong about this game, but have to pass this along. As a young pup, I grew up when UGA and AU played in Columbus, Georgia, Memorial Stadium. Much the same reasons that we have for playing in JAX, a neutral site.
Should be an interesting week, in times past some of the folks from Chizik's Hoopty Site would come over and (try) to talk football, maybe they will forget what Alabama is going to do to them this year and strap us on again.
Go Dawgs, do as instructed by Coach wlayton, watch last years game and then have a talk with Ben Jones.
