UGA Football Supporter or . . . .?

Below is a video of the National Championship Game. I spent quite a bit of time after the game was over and the smoke had cleared watching portions of the game that really stood out to me. I have watched the game in its entirety, but the portions that I have re-run the most are the Alabama offensive line. Game was won right there, not a doubt in my mind. I skip around on the video and watch when Alabama has the football. Offensive line . . . . hope we get there.



When talk comes up about Saban, many times it is about his ability to coach the defensive backs. Don't be fooled, Saban knows and proves year after year that the offensive line is where many or most games are won or lost.

Right now there is a battle over Laremy Tunsil, as there should be. I look at the left tackle for Alabama, if he is not hurt, he will remain the left tackle for another year. As good as LT is, he will not start at left tackle for Alabama in 2013. Other side of the coin, if he joins the good guys in Athens, he WILL be the starting left tackle for UGA in 2013. Simple as that. Will Friend, hope that this young pup comes to Athens to be coached by a former Alabama offensive lineman.

Buc, the way BAMA ran the ball on us (350 yards), we were fortunate to even be in the game. Imo, AM played his best game as a Dawg.....without him we wouldn't have had a chance.

Just wanted to say since Richt has been at Georgia we have had the number one pick and they say Jarvis will be number 2 pick in the NFL draft should help own recruiting I think we are getting close to bama and I still believe that next years defense will be better than this year.

wlayton you are right Murray played his best game I think he will be a lot better next year.

You make a very good point wlayton.

I wonder just how good AM would be if he had played behind the same skilled offensive lines that AJ McCarron played behind in Tuscaloosa.

I also don't believe that AJ McCarron would have reached the heights that he has, had it not been for that group in front of him. Came a time when a very skilled center needed to let the young man know that "they" are the folks that have lifted his game to the point that it is. AJ plays behind any other offensive line in the SEC, the results will not be the same. AJ should have been buying dinners on more than one occasion in the last two seasons.

AM came close to a miracle in Atlanta. Not knocking our offensive line, they got much better as the year progressed, still, at the end, Alabama has ruled the roost when it comes to offensive line play.

What I said above is the power that comes with winning. Don't forget, Richt beat Saban in Alabama. Don't really feel good about what has happened since that particular night, we started misfiring and they moved up quickly. Right now Saban has this college football game figured out.

Saban also knows that UGA has a chance to move up quickly with the athletes that are choosing Athens and playing between the Hedges. Saban said on national TV that Georgia came within five yards of beating the Tide. He was not blowing smoke. For Nick Saban to say that, he knows where his competition will be coming from. Therefore the huge battle for Laremy Tunsil. Program changer.

Just a couple of thoughts from an old fart.

Well I don't post alot but I do try and read everyone’s post and add something to the group here and there.

So here’s my two cents about what the Dawgs need to do at this time….whatever my two cents is worth.
1. I think kicking game is a hug part of the game of football that we love so much! So if Richt doesn't hire a special team’s coach I think the Dawgs will be average at best in the kicking game for 2013.

2. The Richt needs to keep/start visiting O-line and D-line high school players in their living rooms alot more in my book anyway. If the Dawgs can't get a 5-star player then I think he needs to get at least 3 3-stars players so that the Dawgs will be fresh in the 4th quarter so other teams won't have 200+ yards on the Dawgs.

3. I could have put this in my number 2 point because it goes along with it. The linebackers need to have fresh legs in the 4th quarter also so I think Richt needs to be visiting alot of high school linebackers in their living room just as much as the O & D lines. They can't run down backs if their legs are giving up.

I believe Saban is doing my 2nd & 3rd point’s alot better than the other head coaches in the SEC. Everyone on here knows the state of Georgia is loader with good/great high school players, all Richt needs to do is sweet talk them into coming to UGA over Bama and all the other teams. We all know on this board that Richt is a great recruiter for certain positions but his O & D line recruiting needs alittle more energy.

Well, here's something for discussion. Hopefully it won't amount to anything....
