GEORGIA
The Georgia Bulldogs picked up a huge victory against Florida on Saturday and can basically lock up the SEC East with a win at Kentucky this weekend.
Still, some aren’t convinced that the Bulldogs are a very good team, and former Auburn and Ole Miss coach Tommy Tuberville is among them.
On Monday, Tuberville joined “Sports Talk with Bo Mattingly” and said the Dawgs are very averaged compared to what they were last year:
Tuberville: Georgia is a very average football team compared to what they were last year.

While Georgia may not be as strong, especially on defense, as it was in 2017, the Bulldogs are still a very good team.
Will they have enough to get the job done in Lexington on Saturday afternoon? If they do, another trip to Atlanta likely awaits.
Tuberville is now and always has been a podunk redneck!
Gadzooks, Batman, another man with an opinion!!
I agree
Well, Kentucky always sucks…. So there is that.
But overall….not quite as much as uGa…so there is that…next
A Kentucky football fan! What a rare sighting!

What part of Peach County are you from? Have you taken a bath lately?
Your entire state is a wasteland that is irrelevant to the country..
No doubt GA had more dead trees and plants than KY so not sure what you mean…the only thing GA does better is rush hour traffic. So I think I’ll stay here. Have a great afternoon LgdDD2
Kentucky is absolutely NOT a wasteland! They supply us with Bourbon.
Funny coming from a state where there 4.5 million people and only like 3 families. Go back to watching basketball where you are relevant.
aritz2310 it’s funny when you try to make an insult. I mean, the insult itself isn’t funny because it’s so pedestrian, but it’s cute to see you trying so hard.
I was stationed in Kentucky for 6 years at Ft Campbell, Ft Knox and the UK ROTC detachment. It is a beautiful state that we still consider our second home. Throwing personal insults does nothing for the conversation here except leave us guessing what trailer park you live in. That goes for both sides.
We’re waiting… come get some.
LOL
Ahahahah
We came, and got some.
Average is more than enough to beat Kentucky. You guys needed the refs to bail you out against Mizzou. Don’t let 1 decent season in the last 50 years distort your reality.
Bring average and then let’s take a closer look… actually bring all you’ve got. And then bring some DEFENSE cause we can score 14 and win (7 may come from D/ST)….can you?
No. We like to give ourselves some buffer.
We prefer not to get last second touchdowns against terrible teams like Missouri…Kentucky gonna Kentucky
Not sure if can win by scoring 14. We don’t have an offense consistently inept enough to find out.
14 won’t win vs this team. If you think so, go ahead and put some money on it, Vegas is waiting.
Funny cause you let 1 decent season in the last 25 distort yours….
You make this way too easy 90210
Well… 25 years has actually netted us 3 SEC Championships and at least one appearance in the National Championship. Not too much to brag about but still better than not having a single season above .500 in the SEC in that same time frame. I’m all for some good-natured trash talk and all, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.
Wait, did I miss something? Why are UK fans so salty, talking about the state of Georgia having nothing but dead trees and bad traffic, and taking shots at UGA having “1 decent season in the last 25”.
UGA has won more in the past 18 seasons than UK has ever won, or will likely ever win. Your most celebrated period of football was Bear Bryant’s run in the late 50s. UK is a perennial bottom feeder of the SEC, literally only matched by Vandy. The 2018 UK team is very good, no doubt, but it is arguably the best UK team 60+ years. Enjoy your run of success without getting ahead of yourself.
boxster it started because a guy from Georgia actually tried to make the argument that Kentucky was a worse state than Georgia. It had nothing to do with football. LegendDD2 is clearly retarded.
Against Vandy and Missouri, who are a combined 1-8 in the SEC, UK scored a total of 22 points in regulation. If UGA is mediocre than Kentucky is downright bad.
Tuberville is a very average college coach compared to what he was before he left the SEC.
He’s also the guy who said they would have to carry him out of Oxford in a pine box, two days before he left for Auburn. Pretty sure he did not make the trip to the plains in a pine box.
Insightful comments coming from a below average coach. He is even more brutal to listen to when in the booth calling a game.
this average coach embarrassed bammer 6 years straight. And you know every single one hurt so you are obviously still butt-hurt lol

Unable to post for some reason?
UGA definitely not as good as last year but hardly “average”. Tubs is a bitter old man who is mad because nobody will hire him. He needs to go fishin.
2) tuberville’s statement is very poorly worded and displays ignorance
3) uga could be much worse than they were last year and still be very good
WOW, I can’t post #1
T!TLE IS CLICKBAIT
Tried many times to post with “t i t l e” in the comment, it wouldn’t work. I took it out, and – suddenly – everything works. If SDS is going to censor us like this, can they at least let us know?
SDS you know how to get the mob going….ha
Haha could not agree more. The comments on this article from UK and UGA fans are out of control and so unnecessary haha
You’re the only Gator brave enough to stick around after this year’s ass whooping. Not many posting on here anymore. Kudos.
Tommy Guberville said what?
Tuberville probably wont coach college football again, so he’s just settling into his broadcasting career. Accordingly, as a national analyst, he has to give a hot take occasionally. There’s no question UGA is not as good as last year, but they are in no way average.
Is this is the same Tommy Tuberville who beginning in 2000 beat Alabama 7 out of 8 games?
Tell me, when did Georgia or , lol, Kentucky, beat the Tide in 7 out of 8 games?
That’s specific.
It’s a known fact that Tommy is literally the most inept idiot to ever put on a headset. Every statement he puts out it is either randomly hateful of the successful team or simply so wrong that it’s puzzling.
Funny how Georgia fans already have there bags packed for Atlanta.
They really don’t. Most understand that the UK game will be a very tough one. Stop trying to force the “no one respects us” narrative.
I guess you took geography at UK? We don’t have to pack to get to ATL.
I never demeaned Kentucky in any way. I think both teams are above average, and their rankings & records reflect that.
The game will be a tough, old-fashioned SEC affair, and Georgia has to improve their tackling to do well.
Well to answer your question, UGA beat Bama 7 out of 8 games from 1910 to 1921! Also in that time span of Tommy Tuberville beating Bama, UGA won 3 straight against the tide.
Kentucky fans are out of pocket, and some of the reactions from fellow Georgia fans aren’t much better.
It’s not even trash talk…..
Here are the real facts:
Benny Snell 179 rushes / 935 yards / 9 TD’s
Holyfield/Swift 168 rushes / 1025 yards / 9 TD’s
Wilson 153 attempts / 988 yards / 5 TD’s / 6 Int’s
Fromm 172 attempts / 1649 yards / 16 TD’s / 4 Int’s
UGA Points Scored 309 / Points Allowed 131
UK Points Scored 205 / Points Allowed 104
4 Common SEC Opponents for 2018
UGA 161-76, average +21.25
UK 80-47, average + 8.25
UK grocery store holds 60k, UGA Sanford holds 93K.
I think you should’ve combined Snell and say, Wilson’s rushing stats for a more fair comparison.
Only comparing “leading” rushers. These represent 53% of UGA attempts and 53% of UK attempts.
Gotcha.
LOL @ “grocery store”
I think everyone can agree that is objectively funny.
Georgia is still playing football while Tommy is not still coaching. There are reasons for both.
