Thank you Buc.......again, agree with you.....can't expect college players to learn NFL systems, especially the younger pups right out of HS.

Basic D with great fundmentals work out at this level,imo....just take a look at Stanford (LOVE the way they play, mistake free, smart, physical and in your face, BASIC D).

One name that I have not seen mentioned is Damian Swann. In the second half and Nebraska was driving deep into our territory, Damian made what I believe to be one of the greatest interceptions I have seen watching Georgia football for a couple of years. Where he came from and how he came away with the ball, incredible. Swann was moving at missile speed when he went up and took the ball away. There will be a lot of competition in the defensive backfield, however none are going to replace Damian Swann. Grady High School in Atlanta, know that Erk has a smile on his face after that go-get.

Bouncing around a bit. When the final whistle blew in Orlando had my eyes on the far side, Nebraska's side. What really caught my attention was the players lining up and leaving the field with their heads down. A handful of Nebraska's players stayed on the field and shook hands with the Georgia players. Understandable, lost to South Carolina last year on the same turf.

This goes to show that the Big Whatever is lacking, especially when it comes to playing the SEC. They hate being beaten, but hate it even more when it is an SEC school. Much of the nation and that includes the media want so badly to knock us off of our throne. Six (6) in a row from the share croppers from below the Mason/Dixon. Unless I miss my bet, seven (7) is just around the corner.

Nebraska's quarterback is still a bit mouthy about the SEC talent as compared to the Big Whatever talent. They had a really good chance in Orlando, especially when we look at national statistics that pointed out that they were the best pass defenders in the country. My, my, numbers don't always prove to be true.

Nice piece of work Mike Bobo, Grantham calm down, every game does not have to be like the one against Vanderbilt and Franklin. Stop all of the technical crap, might even think about lining up . . . . yes, said lining up in a four man front. Easy enough to figure out that all of our talent this year was exposed in your 3/4.

Said more than once this season that I liked our entire coaching staff. Still do, but I have been around football for sometime and I do not like the ground and pound yardage that Grantham's 3/4 is giving up. Case in point, look at the film on the Orlando game. Nebraska is not Alabama, another case in point.

Asking many of the folks on this board this question. If you had to game plan offensively for Georgia, would your plan be to run or pass? Usually one or the other is a strong suit and the game plan is normally drawn up that way. Just curious.

I would run run run only Pass when needed. Defense has shown that they have the athletes to go up and pick a ball off. Swann had an amazing game, I was too hard on him in the sec championship game. Still baffles me how our d just gets gashed by the run. Maybe granthem puts the mentality of a bend but don't break defense... But how long does the concept of bend but don't break become a bend and break d.

Someone said something about being satisfied with this season. Well... 12-2 is pretty darn good. If you start bashing a 12-2 season... a lot of people look at you funny...

So let me say this... Looking at this season in a vacuum, it was pretty darn good. Had a great time... saw some young players emerging... beat UF for the 2nd straight year.. continued to dominate the bugs.. Good stuff.

Outside of that vacuum of a single season... It's still been since '05 that we last had the SEC crown. Steve Spurrier still
owns Mark Richt, and UGA hasn't won a NC since 1980 while UT, UF, Auburn, Bama, and LSU have... some multiple times...

I'm not bashing our coaches or negating our achievements
this year, but I'm not satisfied about that.

God Bless and Go Dawgs
