“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
UGA is back to the Richt years.

We wanted to be like Bama and now we have Bama problems. These kids come to Georgia to be with other elite players and go to the league. Kirby sells them on that.
We will just reload and see what we have next year going into Jacksonville. No one thought Trask was anything special and now he is the most talented QB in the East.

Number of 5-star players on Florida’s roster: 1 (Brenton Cox)
Number of 5-star players on Georgia’s roster: 13 (Kelee Ringo, Darnell Washington, Mekhail Sherman, Nolan Smith, Nakobe Dean, Travon Walker, George Pickens, Clay Webb, Zamir White, Jamaree Salyer, Tyson Campbell, Adam Anderson, & Richard LeCounte; did not include anyone who has not yet signed an LOI)
We’ll see, Urban.

That fu roster continues to get hollowed out. Their best DB is leaving early. Greenard, Zuniga, Perine, the punter, and 3 WRs are out of eligibility. At least 8 of their top 22 will need to be replaced.
Their savior, Cox, was our 3rd stringer after a lousy freshman year where he was given ample opportunity to produce.

But that “chaos in the state of Florida” he refers to has been going on for Mullen’s entire tenure at UF, and he still hasn’t been able to capitalize like he should on the recruiting trail. Unless he rattles off a few division titles in rapid succession soon, he’s already peaked as a recruiter.

Gotta love it when national media pundits use (predictable) deductive reasoning to support their arguments.
Georgia loses it’s quarterback and 4 offensive linemen for the ’19 team.
No mention of what all Florida loses off its 2019 team. Allow me to help:
4 WR’s (Cleveland, Jefferson, Hammond, Swain), it’s best RB Perine, 3 starting defensive linemen ( Zuniga, Shuler, Greenard) plus a backup NT, it’s starting MLB Reese, starting safety Taylor, and punter Townsend.
But go ahead and brush all that aside. Only our departures matter.

What Beer Money said. I’ve never really understood the reason for Dawgrading but there must be one. It (Dawgrading) is def a thing. Every negative for Georgia they can dream up is highlighted while the sensational depth is ignored.
Another point I’ll make is that Georgia to Florida is becoming what Bama is to Auburn…the big brother that you really, really need to beat because it’s all you have left.
“Flawburn” if you will.
Their fans fret over Georgia as much as NATS fans do.

One huge advantage FTMF’s has is schedule. They don’t go to Tuscaloosa. Lose there and we have no margin for error.
I do think there is a chance they lose in Knoxville and we win in T-town in September.

Our offense might suck but it can still convert those third and Granthams against all those kids at Florida who couldn’t get an offer from UGA!
Florida is good enough to boost the resume but not talented enough on the coaching staff or roster to actually beat UGA. Love it.

Just my rough calculation, but if we go with Salyer at LT, Shaffer LG, Hill C, Cleveland RG and McClendon RT on the OL, that’s 128 games of experience with 32 starts. Granted, Cleveland is a big chunk of that and it certainly doesn’t feel good RN to rely on a draft eligible guy with apparent academic issues for 42 games and 16 starts.
This is just me – knowing nothing – gauging what it might look like by who has the most PT so far.
Fitzpatrick has 13 games and a start at TE with a 5 star coming right behind him.

…and on Corch’s comments: he’s dead right. If they don’t beat us this year, when will they?
For one, I think they have a shot. We played a lot of games closer than we had to in ’19. Kirby is going to have learn to hammer for 4 quarters again and stop pulling up on the reins.

Wondering if our 2020 season will look like Auburns last year. A lethal defense takes us as far as they can but a freshman/transfer QB leads to a couple losses.
