Stetson Bennett now has the exact number of pass attempts necessary to qualify for stat eligibility. He’s third nationally, and first in the SEC, in passer rating.

“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
Fuckn A. Just in time to go back to second team.

They have some firepower but, ultimately, no depth. Lets say they score 21 on us. Do you think they can actually hold us to under that and win? I don’t see it unless the entire team has the flu.

That’s a solid point Biggen. My fear is our offense. They have not looked like a well oiled machine the past few weeks, and our OL appears to be taking steps backwards. I hope that we can use the final stretch of the season to work things out.

I think it’s Bennett’s team from here on out barring some major screwup or injury. I think Daniels has been “Easoned”. You don’t pull the 3rd best passer in the nation. Sorry, you just don’t.

I want the best player out there too. UGA sports the best offense in the SEC and the 3rd best in the nation. I’d say that’s pretty damn good. Taking that into consideration, maybe we already do have the best QB out there.

I’d bet a lot of money that Stetson starts every remaining regular season game (he has earned that) and that JT will keep coming in for mop up duty, easing him back into game shape (that is a nice luxury of having SBIV). The interesting part will be who starts the SEC Championship…

Good for Stetson. He isn’t the chink in our armor that will cause us to lose a game. The O-line is. I am not going all full-on Munson here, But the Oline is our weakest link.

Agree. If the O line was better, we could play JT and really put up the yards, but the way it is, playing JT is risky.

I don’t know. I don’t see them as a major liability. Pass Pro is still really good. Run blocking this game wasn’t great but they were selling out to stop the run. Also playing without the starting left tackle doesn’t help.
I’m not making excuses. There are still improvements to be made.

Yep, Bluto, the Mailman is somebody, and this sorry old excuse for a Bulldog is grateful for him. I’m enjoying this season so much…this team has kicked ass and taken names. All units are playing lights out from the defense, to the offense, and even special teams. This team has accomplished records that we have not seen since the 1942 Georgia Bulldogs beat everyone’s ass (except those War Eagle Aholes)…by all accounts those 1942 Dawgs were some of the baddest mfers to ever walk a football field…that is until now. Call me the ultimate Homer, but I’m fine with letting go of the wheel and trusting Kirby…and I know that might scare the shit out of other folks driving on 285, but so be it…I haven’t seen a Georgia football team this good in my lifetime, and neither have any of you…enjoy it. Kirby wants to win more than anyone typing here…and he’s going to play any and all players at his disposal to win…I’m cool with that.

I remember when I discovered I was “somebody”. In a driving rain I hydroplaned off the the road through Mr Bob Morgan’s pasture fence. As I was repairing the fence so the cows wouldn’t get out a deputy drove up. Rolled his window down partly and asked if I was okay and if I was drunk.
“If I was drunk I wouldn’t have hung around to fix this fence.” His fat ass didn’t offer to help.
Later I read in the police blotter of the local paper that “somebody” crashed through Bob Morgan’s fence.

Stetson has played well but is the benficiary of a a great defense. JTD is by far the best QB on this team. His ability to read defenses pre snap is heads above Stetson’s. I love what Stetson has done but we win the natuional championship with JTD.

If we get into a shootout… Against this D? And even if we do, Stetson’s running ability is likely something we’ll need. I’d like to see JT be healthy and earn the starting job back, especially by dropping 4 TDs on Bama. But SBIV can beat them to. Somebody’s got to show up with a Defense that can stop us…not worried about our D giving up points.
