See if you can catch the almost breathtaking admission in Bruce Feldman’s latest Heisman rankings.
Nick Chubb, UGA, RB
He was fantastic in his return, burning UNC for 222 rushing yards and capping it with a 55-yard TD run in the fourth quarter as he carried the Dawgs to a comeback win over a good team. Every time Chubb has been able to play a full game in his college career, he’s come up huge. You can’t say that about any other RB in college football.
See it? No? Okay, try again.

Georgia gets a win and the opponent isn’t Dawgraded. What’s the world coming to, I ask you?

Well the Kirby effect is real. CKS makes every effort to make what is seen/spoken about UGA football to be what he wants. We saw this when Pruitt came on board and all of the sudden we start seeing UGA billboards going up around town.

That’s the beauty of being an analyst and making predictions. You can make your pre-season predictions, then make completely different picks throughout the season and claim to be right in one way out of the several you went at the end of the year.

Des may not like UGA, and he never fails to express skepticism about us, but he has excellent dental work. Herbie is a Big Integer fan at his core.
Galloway picked us, and Kannell picked us to be in the playoff. Rece? He’s such a huge improvement over the ennui-laden Chris Fowler, one hardly knows where to begin. If UGA wins, and keeps winning, it won’t matter if they like us. If we don’t keep winning, it still won’t matter.

Yeah, the chucklehead who is starring in his own cartoon with Heather Dinich, another sportswriter chick who often sits at the “expert/analyst” table on one ESPN show or another even though she knows nothing more about the game of football other than what she’s read about, interviewed others about or what she has watched on video.

There were numerous clowns that said that. A majority were picking UNC on the Saturday talking head shows. We couldn’t stop their running back and deal with their great QB. Jacob “Bombs Away” Eason is going to be fun to watch.

Twain said that the man with a reputation of being an early riser can sleep until noon, so perceptions, even false ones, can be valuable. However, I still think bullshit is bullshit and truth matters. I’m not sold on UNC being that good. The season will reveal whether we beat a good team or not.
I said last year (and the year before) that we were a good team with a serious qb problem and the solution was on the way. He’s here now and we wouldn’t have won yesterday without him.
We need to clean up ko coverage and get our kicker some confidence. If we get that done and we see more and more Eason we could go a long way before we have a bad Sunday.

I agree the Dawgs probably lose yesterday without Eason. Hopefully Kirby got that, too.

The thing that doesn’t show up in the stats are those two pass interference calls on the drive that McKenzie scored his TD on. Those are sacks with lambert in there.

Of course it’s a new era. A new era many of us have been clamoring for since the debacle of 2008. We could have had good times like this for many a year now.
For those of you still like to talk about Mark Richt, this team would’ve folded like a cheap suit when they went down 10 if Mark Richt were still the head coach. Make no mistake, this is a new era, there is a new sheriff in town, and things are about to get great.

The only thing I disagree with is that we might have come back, been in a position to win and invent some new way to fuck it all up.

Yes on a return kick #81 would fumble it and UNC would get the ball on our 5 yard line. Or after going 3 and out we would have a blocked kick.

for those of you who like to talk about “those of you still like to talk about Mark Richt,” the only ones talking about him are….you.
The rest of us have moved on and are a lot more interested in building on yesterday than listening to the 20/20 hindsighters, who will be the first ones to turn on the new regime the first time we fail to win a game impressively enough, much less lose one. Let it go.

Spoiler alert: You got what you wanted. It’s a shame you can’t focus on what you have, instead of whining about what you think you should have had. Just for the record, we’re off to a good start.

You might want to pace yourself a little bit. The rest of us are happy just enjoying a win over a solid opponent.

Has anyone bothered to mention that the UNC QB, arguably, fumbled that ball, as he clearly tried to keep it. Had that TD not been overturned the game could have very easily been a blow out!
On another note, did anyone see UNC holding on multiple occasions, without any notice from the zebras…

Just watching the replay. On NC’s KO return, there was a block in the back right at the point of the returner starting his weave..and a hold down field held a Dawg tackler by his arm and prevented contact. I know we can pick apart many calls so this time I’m not ready to go on the warpath, and NC got some rough treatment from the refs too.. I can understand Fedora thinking he got screwed on the Illegal player downfield call..but it evened out, I think.

Definitely true. Of course, Nick’s long TD was partly assisted by one of his lead blockers tackling someone from behind.

Oh yes. And who called the draw play from the endzone? That would seem to be a terrible call anytime, but especially when your team is reeling, the opposing team surging, and the crowd so loud you can’t think right. Better to have quick-kicked or run a safe play and punt. But there are no perfect coaches and no perfect bloggers..

I guess it’s possible to outsmart yourself. Throwing the ball to someone 6 yards deep in the end zone who has about 5 red shirts between the R and the goal line seems like a bad choice for a QB who was supposed to be a seasoned veteran, and maybe even an improvement over last year’s UNC QB. Maybe he’s just John Brantley 2.0
