ESPN's Brian Griese not buying Georgia hype

Jordan Cox | 10 years ago

ESPN college football analyst and former Michigan and NFL quarterback Brian Griese had some strong statements on the Georgia Bulldogs Thursday.

Griese is not buying the hype and all the national attention surrounding the ‘Dawgs in the wake of their 24-point win over Clemson on Aug. 30.

Many analysts and pundits have vaulted Georgia to the top of their College Football Playoff predictions and their polls, but Griese isn’t surrendering to the moment. The great thing is UGA will have its chance against Auburn, and the Bulldogs may also have their chance against Alabama in Atlanta.

The Bulldogs travel to Columbia, S.C. to face the Gamecocks Saturday in a nationally-televised game on CBS. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. EST.
