thriller, a good, sensible post.
The one area that bothers me more than others about Georgia, there always seems to be a lot of talent available in the State. Having gone through several years of up and down, something just ain't right.
When Spurrier was coaching the gators, always had a lot of talent, Florida is a talent rich State. South Carolina just does not have the "history" that I feel is so important. That is one of the factors that in my opinion keeps Alabama a step ahead when they have the right head coach.
Also believe that Gus Malzahn has hit a bump in the road. Believe he also realized it, especially in 2014 when Georgia led by a new group of coaches on the defense, let him know that his "system" was/is beatable. Did not take Gus long to lay the blame on the other side of the ball, team that was really beaten up with injuries. Went looking for someone that could prove he was right in releasing the defensive coordinator. That old "CYA" thingy.
Check out the Gus Malzahn offense . . . . seems some coaches never get released from the "top". As bad as Pruitt's defense was in JAX, they came to play this game.
Solid post thriller.
