One thing that I believe most of us can wrap our arms around . . . . There is no way that Pruitt should take a step back in his first year in Athens. He has been very smart with his hires. Here I go again . . . . "continuity".
If Pruitt and his group of coaches get our group of talented players to the point they can play "fast", the defense not only has size in the middle, two deep, maybe more, could very well take on the look of the FSU defense, and that ain't bad.
Going to say this, don't mean anything bad. Pruitt is probably a very good teacher and leader, I suspect Pruitt is a "calculating" individual. That is meant in the best sense of the word. Eye vision is a great thing, brain vision is a winner, hands down.
At this point do I worry about Pruitt getting these young pups to play fast, nope. This change will light some fires under athletes already in Athens that will hold Pruitt to his opening remarks. Basically, work for what you get. No favorites, hard work on the practice field and in the film room.
Playing the what if . . . . if Carter ends up in Athens (I do fear he might go to FSU) and incoming recruit Keyon Brown end up playing together, with the talent already assembled, UGA can play with ANYONE. That includes urban meyer. ESPN's choice. Keyon Brown will play in Athens in 2014, and by the end of the year other teams will have to game plan for him. He is known in the State of Florida, and FSU is still in his ear.
Pruitt's defense is going to be hard to throw on, especially when talking about high percentage tosses. He likes the 3-3-5 and the 4-2-5.
If grantham were still here, Clemson would cause me to worry, then a week off and South Carolina in Columbia, another worry.
While we have not played these two games, I have this feeling that Clemson's quarterback, and if it is the young man from Gainesville, Georgia, young fellow is going to have a eye opening day between the Hedges.
South Carolina lost one of the grittest quarterbacks that I can remember playing college football. That is a plus for UGA. Guarantee you SS and company are spending time looking at everything they can put their hands on when it comes to Pruitt.
Find out quickly where we stack up in the East. Can say this, folks I know down this way are not licking their chops about JAX this year. Could very well be a dismissal of Muschamp if JAX ends up in UGA's favor. Which I fully expect.
