growl, I believe that Pruitt/Rocker and Company have solved many of the problems we have faced in the past. Facing offenses that differ greatly from the pro style. Many high schools do not know what a pro style offense looks like.
Yes I understand that Faton Bauta ran the practice squads offense against the first and second team defenses. Many of the players on the defense then commented on Faton and how good he was, running something different than the Richt pro style. He also became a sacrificial lamb in JAX, another player in a long list of young men that could have played a lot of downs "elsewhere".
JMHO . . . . Head coach knew he needed someone like Faton Bauta to run something different than what he had been around all of his coaching years. Called job protection. Again, JMHO.
One thing that I would like to see tomorrow night . . . . something different from the offensive side. Head coach made sure he had a "clone of himself". Yes, I also believe that.
I do believe that Rob Sale is getting a grip on the offensive line play. I also remember the beating that Coach Will Friend took from the fan base soon after he arrived in Athens. Friend in my mind was one of if not the most important hires made in the Richt era. I also believe Will Friend is responsible for us not getting rid of the head coach. Friend in my mind saved some of the hot seat talk.
Will say this, again . . . . Jim McElwain wanted Rob Sale, and who knows, might still get him. Said in another thread, scared of what I see happening with the gators. They have a head coach that is ready to kick ass in the SEC East. Georgia's lack of leadership at the top is going to have many wondering what the hell hit us.
Think the 13 1/2 point spread might prove to be interesting.
Seniors, thank you for your many hours of study and hard work. While there has been and probably will continue to be a lot posted on Dawgs.com about the future of the program. You guys did as told, and from this old fart to you . . . . Thanks a million(s) . . . . Actually more than 4 million.
