Red and Black

If Georgia could learn how to play football in the 1st half, things would probably go a little better.

Thing is with the 12-Team playoff format, the Dawgs and the Tide may play each multiple times in any given season. Same goes for Texas, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and whoever else from the SEC who may be may end up getting selected for the playoffs.

OU has an O-Line problem. No one can survive in that backfield. OU's defense however does look like an SEC defense.

No surprise. Curious to see what the coaching staff has done to address the RB for this game. B. Rob may be good to go but he'll be on a pitch count. Cash can help but he's a bit smallish for pass-pro. Give him 5-10 touches. Give another 5-7 touches for each of the freshmen. Got to thinking - Andrew Paul could be starting for the Dawgs if he stayed. Go Dawgs!!!

Dawgs got RB room issues again. Etienne most likely a scrub, R. Rob surgery, B. Rob still a question mark. So we go with Cash and the three freshmen? Please don't reassign Dillon Bell to RB duties! Dawgs are dinged up on the DL too. Big Baby is out. Brinson had an achilles (I think) and don't know if he's 100%. Dawgs got a re-tooled backfield at safety, corner, and star. Gonna miss Tykee Smith at star. Yet Dawgs are still -13.5 favorites.

I kinda think that 2023 was one of Coach Saban's best coaching jobs. New OC + New DC + New QB = SEC Champs.

2023 may be one of CNS's greatest coaching jobs. New OC, new DC, and new QB = SEC Champs. Congratulations Alabama.

The Viles did not get curb-stomped..... They got "Kirby-Stomped."

MVP's.... Offense - Dillon Bell - A complete player. Defense - Tykee Smith - Wow, what an animal.

Question for SERIOUS Gator fans..... Should CBN let someone else run the offense?

Neil my good man..... Thank you for mentioning Dan Mullen. He should forever be tied to this current iteration of the Florida Gators for his incompetence on the recruiting trail and the toxic culture on defense that he allowed Granthem to cultivate.

I think Arky is better than their record shows. They've played some highly ranked teams yet haven't been blown out so Florida really needs to take this game seriously. On the other hand, Arky has a new OC so maybe it's a good time to catch the Hogs.

Neil my good man..... Nice article. Thank you for your objectivity. Some of your colleagues at SDS could learn a lesson from you. What are your thoughts on alternating between J-Ville and Atlanta for this neutral-site game? Haven't thought about it much myself but when I do the more "warm" I become to the idea.

Dawgs need Ladd McConkey back full-time.

....."The Bulldogs will also have the challenge of playing in the Swamp"..... Last time I checked the game will be in J-Ville.

....."Florida has the benefit of playing at home"..... Last time I checked the game will be in J-Ville.

Trying to find some good news from this weekend.....Looks like the Dawgs have an ace for a field goal kicker. Hurry back Brock. We ain't goin' nowhere (CFP's) without you.

I still believe that a 3-peat is contingent on a healthy RB room and a dominant run game. We're not there yet.

I think Arkansas should be rated slightly higher. They've played some good teams so far and haven't been blown out.

That interception Beck threw was returned to UGA's 28 yard line after which UK scored. I'm not putting that on the defense. So the defense held UK to 6 points and Ray Davis to 59 yards rushing - Sweet! Hindsight is 20/20. Kinda glad we didn't play OU in week 2. I think we would have lost that game. Now that the Dawgs are playing better, I would welcome the match-up. Maybe see them in the CFP's? Looks like Alabama just seized control of the West.

I want to see more of Lovett and Thomas. Those guys are good and can take up the slack.

Field Goals! I hope that's not gonna be a problem this year. We were spoiled rotten with Hot Rod and Hot Pod.

I think the uncertainty at RB is the main factor in whether or not UGA gets the 3-peat. Specifically, Kendall Milton is the x-factor. That dude is a threat to take it to the house on every carry. GO DAWGS!! And GO VANDY!!

Neil my good man..... I do think the Gators will rely heavily on the run game this year. I'm so glad Damien Pierce is gone but that Etienne dude is gonna be a headache.

I believe UGA 2024 commit Joseph Jonah-Ajonye was his teammate in high school. Hope that helps with his decision.

Coach Smart seems to do the right thing with injuries by letting people heal and not rushing them back on the field. With that in mind, I say rest these two. I would love to have them back in time for USC but getting them back for AU is a must. And if Kendall Milton is 100% AND can stay healthy, well that would certainly put my mind at ease with the offense. Dude is a threat to take it to the house on every carry. Also, hurry back Andrew Paul.

Looks like Joenel Aguero may get his number called on opening day. Hope Dangerous Dan Jackson returns 100% healthy.

I kinda feel bad bout bad mouthing the Stacy Searels hire. Yeah Calhoun was one of those OL's that I was keeping and eye on. #6 OT! This is a nice pickup.

Kirby is an animal! Never felt like this with Coach Richt's recruiting (although he did bring in some all-universe players).

Hey Gators.... Would you please not wait until the last minute to win a game? Sheesh! I'm finally breathing again.
