Why 2020 Georgia reminds me of 2019 Auburn ... and how that can be a good thing
“This defense, if needed be, could potentially carry this football team the first few weeks of the season.”
That’s what SEC Network analyst Cole Cubelic said during an appearance on The Saturday Down South Podcast. Cubelic referred to an SEC contender who had a new starting quarterback with a new play-caller, but that team was also sitting there with arguably the best defensive line in college football and a talented secondary. As Cubelic said, if needed, the defense could do the heavy lifting while the offense figured it out.
That quote was talking about Auburn before the start of the 2019 season. But copy and paste that quote to now, and couldn’t you say the exact same thing about Georgia heading into the 2020 season?
As strange as it sounds, there’s a solid chance that 2020 Georgia could share a lot of similarities to what its cross-division rival looked like heading into last year.
Auburn had a new starting quarterback — at the time we didn’t know if it was going to be Bo Nix or Joey Gatewood — and so does Georgia with Jamie Newman. Auburn had a new/old play-caller in Gus Malzahn while Georgia has Todd Monken. Both of their offenses had major transitions ahead.
Auburn had a loaded defensive front led by Marlon Davidson and Derrick Brown while Georgia returns the vast majority of its front 7 production from the nation’s top scoring defense. Auburn had a neutral-site game against Oregon to kick off the season with a massive showdown on the road to kick off SEC play. Georgia has a neutral-site game against Virginia to kick off the season with a massive showdown on the road to kick off SEC play.
See what I’m getting at?
Few people will make this comparison because obviously Auburn went 9-4 and Georgia is hoping to play for a national title. Auburn was picked to finish 4th in the division while Georgia will be picked to finish 1st or 2nd. Also, Newman is a grad transfer trying to run Monken’s Air Raid while Nix was a true freshman trying to run Malzahn’s no huddle-spread.
But in a way, Georgia fans should be hoping to follow the 2019 Auburn blueprint. At least in September.
Why?
Think about that comment that Cubelic made. The defense can do the heavy lifting while the offense figures things out. Now more than ever with these current COVID-19 restrictions, the Dawgs’ offense could undergo a major feeling out process. With that new-look offensive line, there might not be Heisman campaigns for Newman in that first month. But that’s’ OK.
You remember how Auburn’s 2019 opener ended — Nix connected with Seth Williams for a beautiful jump-ball grab to give the Tigers the comeback win.

But do you remember how we got there? It wasn’t because of Auburn’s new-look offense with Nix, who was 12-for-30 with 2 interceptions before that throw. Auburn’s defense got stop after stop against Justin Herbert. Oregon’s drive sequence after that second touchdown made it 14-3 in the first quarter was exactly how Kevin Steele drew it up:
- Punt
- Fumble
- Punt
- Punt
- End of half
- Touchdown
- Punt
- Punt
- Punt
- Downs
- Punt
- End of game
If Kirby Smart has it his way, his defense will have similar stretches in those key, early-season matchups. It might have to.
There’s simply no guarantee that Georgia’s offense, which is loaded with talented skill players with guys like Zamir White and George Pickens, is going to take off from the jump.
As favorable as it is for Georgia to open the season in Atlanta, they’ll face one of the nation’s better defensive minds in Bronco Mendenhall, who returns 81% of his team’s defensive production from 2019. It’s hard to imagine that Georgia would be on the ropes in need of a Nix-to-Williams type play to win it late, but consider that another reminder of why the Dawgs’ defense could be asked to be even more stout.
Some Georgia fans would say “we don’t need a reminder of that. Remember last year?” That’s a fair point. The Dawgs allowed 18 points twice in the entire 2019 season … and they lost both games. This whole “we’ll be the backbone” thing is nothing new in that regard.
What is new — and similar to 2019 Auburn — is that unlike last year with Jake Fromm, the offense is experiencing a total overhaul. It’d be stunning if it looked like an all-world level early with so many new pieces. And with established veteran presences on defense like Monty Rice and Azeez Ojulari, there could be times early in that first month when the divide is more evident than ever.
That was the case for 2019 Auburn after the opener, too. The Tigers’ SEC debut was in College Station against No. 17 Texas A&M. We remember Anthony Schwartz showing off his world-class speed with that 57-yard touchdown run, which was part of a 21-3 start (that dude can jet).
Auburn’s Anthony Schwartz is currently one of the fastest men in the world.
And he showed why on this 57-yd touchdown.

What we don’t remember is that Auburn defense going on the road and not allowing a touchdown for the first 45 minutes to win that game.
If Georgia’s defense goes on the road in its SEC opener and doesn’t allow a touchdown in the first 45 minutes, Smart’s entire upper body will be covered in bruises from all the chest bumps he’ll be handing out. Obviously that’s a much taller task at Alabama than at Texas A&M. These days, a shootout in Tuscaloosa seems more likely than a 14-10 game.
Nix, to his credit, did beat Alabama in a 48-45 shootout to close the regular season. Playing at home, however, Auburn’s offense was helped by a pair of pick-6s, and Nix faced an Alabama defense that had far more injury issues in the front 7 than what Georgia will likely see this September.
Having said that, Georgia would just love to get back to putting up 40-plus points against any SEC competition. Shoot, Georgia didn’t even hit 30 points in its final 7 SEC games in 2019. Hence, the offensive overhaul.
The expectation of this group shouldn’t be LSU 2.0, especially not in that daunting first month of the season. And actually, if Georgia’s offense is still inconsistent at season’s end like 2019 Auburn was, that would be considered a disappointment. One would think that the experience of Newman would limit that learning curve to September, as opposed to the season-long learning curve that a true freshman like Nix endured.
Auburn lost 3 regular-season games last year to top-10 teams … all of which were held to 24 points or less. After the defense carried the Tigers to that unblemished, battle-tested September, Auburn fans became all too familiar with a frustrating reality. The lack of development at the quarterback position held that team back. The Tigers were some quality quarterback play from having a much more special season than a non-New Year’s 6 Bowl loss.
Cubelic was right. Auburn’s defense was indeed capable of carrying that team early on while the offense figured things out. Georgia’s unit can do the same thing this September. It could even be the formula that lifts the Dawgs over the hump at Alabama.
But if Georgia is going to get where it wants to go, eventually, it has to bridge the gap between each side of the ball. As Auburn and Georgia learned last year, it’s playing with fire to put so much pressure on a defense to do all that heavy lifting for 60 minutes.
Besides, I’m sure Smart would like to hand out some chest bumps on the offensive side of the ball, too.
I agree with the premise, even though being compared to anything Auburn related makes the UGA fan in me feel a little queasy. I think the defense will carry the team early on but I hope they don’t try to have it carry them for a whole year. They tried that last year and it didn’t work. The biggest difference is that UGA has the players across the board on offense to be explosive and they have a QB who will take shots. I think the Auburn blueprint from last year would be a good one to follow early on.
Didn’t work is a bit strong. They suffered an upset and lost to arguably the best team ever.
Well, I mean but it didn’t work.
If your definition of “work” is 15-0, I guess not.
I mean…my definition of work is winning a championship. Isn’t that the goal?
I think if it worked we wouldn’t be talking about revamping the offense.
Winning it all is a worthy goal. But, to me, it’s not the be all, end all.
I enjoy the small victories throughout the season that don’t show up in the W-L column. But to quote Herm Edwards: “You play to win the game!” that’s really what it’s all about. There was a lot to enjoy about UGA’s 2019 season, and a lot of things to be proud of, but as a whole, that was a team that should have been in the playoff at worst and it’s offensive failures against SCar and LSU kept it out.
I don’t think the SC game had any effect on the playoffs. Had they beat LSU they would have been in. Losing, I don’t think they get in ahead of OK (who were conference champs).
It absolutely had an effect. A 12-1 UGA with it’s only loss being to Oklahoma would likely still make it in. 1 loss UGA with their only loss being to LSU would get in over a 1 loss OU with their one loss being to Kansas State. The committee even debated it last year while UGA HAD that loss.
Man, UGA had National Championship expectations. I don’t wanna be “Aw shucks, just didn’t get it done this year again” kinda guy. Last year was a failure in a lot of ways. UGA has the talent to win it all and when they don’t it’s because something didn’t work. The offense let them down against SCar and against LSU. The defense lived up to expectations in both games (I know LSU got a lot of what they wanted that game but the offense repeatedly left them with little rest and bad field positions, they did as well as you’d expect).
If it weren’t for 3 points in Baton Rouge, Auburn would have been SEC championship bound
I like to think UGA would have won the rematch. LSU still would have made it in and still probably wins it all. Auburn could have easily tarnished one of the best seasons we’ve ever seen. That was one of the best games all year.
How so? you still lost to UGA and Florida. Last I checked 7-1 is better than 6-2.
That’s right! I forgot about that Florida game.
If UGA can get in a “spring practice” in July or August, then I think the prognosis for the offense is good.
It will still take a couple of weeks of actual football and a “game-speed” environment to smooth the wrinkles.
But if UGA can get in those 15 spring practices, then all should be well (except week 3).
Go Dawgs!
I expect the QB to lead throwing sessions with his receivers starting shortly after the players arrive on June 8th. That will be crucial for timing, and will help tremendously once practice actually starts.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the QBs for most programs get with their WRs somehow even before it’s all “sanctioned”.
Absolutely. If not, they will surely be behind.
Honestly, if I see an offense that goes out there and plays fast and plays to be explosive and pushes the limits of the defense, I won’t be upset if there are some miscommunications or bad plays here or there. I’ll take that over playing safe and constipated any day.
I feel the same on that one. I think that cost Florida heavily last year with TG conceding more against you all and LSU last year. They needed to force the issue and apply pressure, but instead, they played a ton of zone defense and tried to prevent the home run. The problem with that strategy is you still give up occasional big plays with a non-aggressive approach, on top of giving up a ton in between the linebackers and safeties against better teams.
The comparison to Auburn is strange. Georgia is considerably more talented than Auburn and really only has to worry about two teams on their schedule.
Considerably more talented? Auburn has been averaging top 10 recruiting classes. Maybe “slightly” more talented.
That’s like saying Auburn is “slightly” more talented than Tennessee. Georgia has been top 2 for three years. You wouldn’t think it’s much of a difference from #1 to #10, but it is. It’s why Alabama has dominated the SEC for so long.
UGA might have had some of the top classes and a number 1 class in 2018, but 4 out of their top 10 signees that year transferred. Take that into account and their adjusted class ranking would drop significantly.
6 of the top 12 players transferred from UGA from the 2017 class. Their class rankings, though high, suffer from attrition via transfer with their “top” signees that give them such a high ranking.
UGA isn’t the only team that has transfers leave from their class. We could go school by school with that. If you look at the projected 2 deep for UGA in 2020 I think there are only 4 3-stars projected playing time.
Shaffer at LG
Newman at QB
Stokes at CB
Davis at NT
Newman has developed past his ranking, Davis and Stokes have proven to be underranked,
Shaffer has had to beat out 4 and 5 stars for his spot but he’s the biggest question mark. Those top signees that left, left because younger, better players came in to take their spots.
If you factor in the defections while accounting for other school’s defections, UGA is still firmly entrenched in the top-5, if not higher. There is no significant drop.
The differences between the top-3 in recruiting and the bottom of the top-10 or just outside the top-10 is night and day.
It’s why Georgia is so much more talented than Floriduh and the ‘Barn. you’re talking nothing but blue chips (5 and 4-stars) and some 4-stars blue chips and mostly 3-stars (Florida and Auburn).
I have Coach Swinney holding for you on line 2.
“Night and day” is quite the stretch. How did A&M manage to be driving into UGA territory with less than 4 minutes to play and only 6 points behind. If it was night and day talent, A&M would not have kept it close, and Alabama would have beat Auburn last season.
Yes, there is a gap, but a 60%+ blue chip program has a very good chance against a 75% blue chip program.
I also believe there is an inherent flaw in the recruiting rankings. “Blue Blood” and currently successful programs’ recruits tend to get more favorable treatment from the services (see t.u.). That brings me back to my comment regarding “considerably better” vs. “slightly better”.
You are right in that there are huge flaws in the recruiting process. it’s hard to label a kid for what he is when we don’t know the system he’ll play in, how he’ll develop, or the players around him. Also it’s kind of a futile thing to look at the entirety of a roster when basically you have the two deep on either side that see legitimate time. But we all know roster talent doesn’t always equal wins but there IS a big gap in talent between the top class and the 10 class (based on those flawed rankings). TAMU kept it close with UGA last year because Fromm couldn’t make a throw to save his life and Jimbo Fisher and Mike Elko did a great job on defense.
If that were true then how can that team that is so much more talented that everyone else not only have close games but lose to less talented teams again and again.
Since 1980 they have been losing to less talented teams
Cojones, give it a rest man. We get it, you think UGA “does less with more”. Well, what did UF do for the past decade? Do less with more. I mean, you all lost to Georgia Southern. And then went through multiple 4-win seasons. During that period, UF had way more talented rosters than the teams they were losing to. Georgia has recruited well, yes, but only under Smart’s tenure has recruiting become elite. In THAT time period, they’ve lost to teams with equal or better talent, with the exception of the 2019 South Carolina game. Look, it goes both ways, so perhaps find a new schtick?
Recruiting at a high level is like going into a fight well armed. When you recruit like UGA, you’ve got a rocket launcher to point wherever you want to. When you recruit at a low level, you’re going in with a slingshot and some rocks. It doesn’t mean that at any given moment that slingshot can’t catch you between the eyes. But I’d rather go into that fight with the rocket launcher. Unfortunately UGA has been caught a few times but recently it’s been to other teams with rocket launchers.
The difference in a top 3 class and a NO.10-13 is significant. Especially when team A strings three top 3 classes together and team B signs three top 10-13 classes back to back.
It mostly shows up in overall team depth. Look at 247’s 2019 classes.
The No.10 class was UT with 13 4-stars and 9-3 stars.
No.12 Oregon finished with 3-5 star, 7-4 star and 12-3 star players. The 10 Blue Chip’s are great, but signing more 3 stars does not build overall depth near as much.
No.3 class was Clemson with 23 4-star and 6-3 stars. It’s easy to see how a team can build great depth by doing the same year after year. It adds up…
@bayou tiger, what are you saying?? Georgia has better recruits but a lot of them don’t get developed. At Auburn they do. Which is why we’re more talented.
“…but a lot of them don’t get developed. At Auburn they do. Which is why we’re more talented”
That’s demonstrably false and incredibly homer-ish take.
I don’t see Tyson Campbell making huge plays. I don’t see Nakobe Dean making stud tackles. I’ve seen little production from Zamir White. And oh yeah, Nolan Smith isn’t blowing up backfields.
Seth Williams, Anthony Schwartz, Roger McCreary (the 998th ranked player in the country), Christian Tutt, and a few other guys have become stars in their freshman seasons.
Call it what you want. But the ratio of 5-star & 4-stars that go to Georgia and the ratio of those that go pro are assumably pretty different.
I’m not saying UGA can’t develop talent. i’m saying Auburn does it at a slightly higher level.
The difference between the AU and UGA players was need, AU HAD to have those players on the field to make plays…UGA was giving its starters a breather when the names u mentioned were on field (minus Campbell who was hurt almost all year) You merely point out Malazhan’s inability to layer his classes so as to not have dire needs in one area thus giving the more “average” recruit the reps with the ones/2’s
C21 – I mean this in the nicest way possible, please stfu.
That is a good point @junkyardDawg65. Also I didn’t know about Campbell’s injury. Good point on the depth for UGA.
@wde0012, why? Just why? Like come on dude. Fix yourself.
Because you are constantly posting bs. I’ve seen several of your posts that don’t make a lick of sense and just aren’t true. You claim to know so much as a middle schooler but you are more wrong than right. Do your research first then post.
White is recovering from two torn ACLs, so that’s a very bad example. Campbell is a stud and so is Nakobe, you’ll see that for yourself this season. You’ve chosen three very poor examples in a vain attempt at making a very indefensible point.
Also, wde has you pegged. You are often out over your skis with some of the things you claim.
LMAO…. C21 knows so much…
Okay, I gave some poor examples. I agree to that. First off, wde, was that language really necessary in the first post? Especially to a kid?? Also, BT is always on me for some reason. He needs to get a life… y’all can do something more productive than get on a kid. But I applaud your negativity. More than anything, I love to prove doubters wrong.
Yes it was necessary and it was the nicest way I could have put it. Also I don’t care if you are 12 or 75. Don’t post stupid stuff or just flat-out false “facts” and you won’t have to worry about BT or me or anyone else calling you out on your bs.
Nicest way possible is a bold statement. You could’ve just said, stop posting stupid stuff…
That always works too
I admit, obviously my comment was very stupid. I was favoring Auburn a little bit. Overall, Georgia and Auburn develop talent at about the same rate.
It was the nicest way I could have said it to get the point across. I’m not gonna sit here and argue with you. Just do research and think before you post nonsense and quit being such a homer.
Okay..
I get the comparisons between the two defenses and the new systems on the offensive side of the ball but Auburn’s gauntlet was all season not just in September.. You can try to play up UVA but that won’t be within 20 points. Auburn had two ranked opponents in each month of the season where UGA will probably have 3 total all season and will probably be favored in all but 1 game all season. Auburn’s October AND November schedules in 2019 were tougher than their September schedule. UGA has ETSU before Bama, Vandy and ULM before Auburn and off before UF. 2019 Auburn had @A&M, MSU and @UF in 3 weeks after opening against Oregon, then back to back road games and of course finished with UGA and Bama with a cupcake in between at home. UGA’s 2020 schedule sets up nicely even after the Bama game. No back to back away games, off before their biggest rival and no ranked teams in the month of November.. With that schedule and the talent they have they’ll be back in Atlanta regardless if the offense improves much.
Disclaimer: My tone is not sarcastic.
But are you really giving it to Georgia when Florida is a very good team with a veteran qb? Seriously dude. Georgia could be 10-2 on the outside looking in.
Is Newman not a veteran too? Right now I trust Smart over Mullen. UF is going to be really good and I believe the east will be decided at the WLOCP but I’m giving the nod to Kirby right now. But, if Newman doesn’t live up to the hype then that might change.
FWIW – I think UGA and UF finish 11-1..
I mean yes Newman is a vet, but he’s going to a new school, with a new team, with a new offense and as of now no practices. By the cocktail party, none of that might matter, because he’d have time to get it together. I concede that.
Just as of right now, I’m leaning with Trask and continuity vs Newman (though of course I still think my dawgs pull out lol I’m just trying to be objective)
Being objective is hard to do as a fan so I applaud you for that lol but yeah sure UF might run the table with their schedule but right now I trust Kirby and Newman to get it done that weekend. Trask is a heck of a QB IMO so it is hard to not go with him but the talent at UGA on offense matched with what is coming back on D is hard to ignore.
You kinda miss the point though. The comparison he’s making is that Auburn was new in a lot of spots on offense last year and they were able to rely on a monster defense to get through games. UGA is new in a lot of spots on offense and is going to have to rely on the defense to win games. He specifically mentioned that it was an early in the season thing similarly to how Auburn was able to take the leash off of Nix post September cause their defense wasn’t going to be able to do it all, same thing will be happening for UGA while they try to gel with a new coordinator and QB.
I didn’t miss the point. I literally said “I get the comparisons”..
Auburn returned their starting RB, 2 of their top 4 receivers and their entire OL. Auburn did not have a lot of new spots on offense. Gus was back to calling plays though. Of course both teams relied/will rely on their D, I never said they didn’t/wouldn’t. The author mentioned September.. whereas I am saying Auburn relied on their defense all season with that type of schedule. UGA has 1 tough game the first month.. @Bama. UVA will not be a challenge. Like I mentioned above with that schedule, the offense might not have to improve to get to Atlanta. Auburn had to take the leash off game 1 not after September.
The article does a really good job explaining why the defense was carrying Auburn in week 1 if you ask me. It wasn’t about the difficulty of the games, it was about the Offense not being ready to take control just yet. They won off of the defense.
Sure they carried them.. I never said they didn’t. I even said they relied on them all season. I was simply saying Auburn took the leash off of Nix week 1 because of the difficulty of the schedule where as UGA will not because they play UVA. By week 3, a veteran Qb like Newman, should be settled in. It is about the difficulty of games.. other wise he wouldn’t be breaking down the September schedule for both teams.
“and no ranked teams in the month of November”
I wasn’t aware in-season rankings were released yet. Is the playoff committee meeting via Zoom?
I could easily see the winner of UK vs UT being ranked in November.
Yeah you didn’t see them when they came out?
Cmon Boxster, do you really think one of South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky or GT will be ranked when y’all play?
GT and South Carolina wont be ranked. UK and Tennessee are fringe top-25, so it’s possible. Now how likely is it? I obviously don’t know. But it is perhaps to early to make broad proclamations just yet. However, I do acknowledge that Auburn has the tougher schedule.
“GT and South Carolina wont be ranked.”
See you did see the rankings.. I’m just basing it off each teams schedule and the likelihood of it happening.
LOL fair enough. I walked into that one.
This is thin as thin can be. Like trying to scrape too little butter across too much bread.
Firstly, Georgia will be starting an experienced QB, Auburn did not.
Secondly, even though the play-calling was supposedly different, Auburn’s offense was still the same offense that defenses knew. Georgia has dumped a stodgy, outside the numbers old man offense for an offense that spreads the field to take advantage of superior playmakers.
Thirdly, the strength of Georgia’s defense is the back seven, not the front seven.
Fourthly, Georgia’s talent level is so far above Auburn’s as to not even be comparable.
Fifthly, if his twitter interactions are to be believed, Cubelic’s kind of a dummy.
There are some comparisons but not really enough to say the two teams are a lot alike. The Qb difference is pretty big. Nobody knows what to expect from newman, but having a guy who started a bunch of games is vastly different from a freshman. UGA D is a lot better than Auburns D too I think. How UGA fares is likely up to the Qb and O line play. the D will likely play very well but to ask them to carry the team most or all of the season may be a lot to ask. if Newman plays anywhere close to how he did at wake and the O line comes together they will be fine and certainly in the thick of the playoff hunt. if not they likely wont. Oh and I think Virginias D was ranked something like #62 last season so getting 80% of the #62 D back this season wont send shivers up anyones spine.
2019 auburn won some games that didn’t matter but lost the games that mattered. So basically, literally every Georgia season is comparable to 2019 auburn.
To win the East, UGA won plenty of games that mattered.
“win the east” – I rest my case.
Yet you Auburn has won 2 of their last 10 vs UGA.
I know, talking smack is part of the game, but you don’t talk smack about weak schedules with respect team that has owned yours for 10 meetings
Winning a division is a pretty necessary step to advancing to the playoffs, so they are games that matter.
No, but they get you closer to a game that matters.
Look folks, apparently I’m being all Gump here and judging seasons based on winning rings or not. Sorry to get in the way of UGA fans enjoying “solid seasons” that end in exhibition games against Baylor. You beat Florida and recruited well, so go Dawgs, right? Lather, rinse, repeat.
kirkm1976,
I’m guessing from your post you face a lot of mental challenges much more important then confusing Gumps with barners, but yeah, us Gumps can talk all the smack we want here. Thanks.
I mean you can talk all the smack you want Gump, but it’s akin to me talking ack to a Gator Fan in the 90s. Yeah you’ve been pretty much owned by UGA at that level. Sontalk away, but it really is better to just bidenyour time until things improve.
Supreme, in your original post you said Auburn won games that didn’t mattered and lost games that did. But, they didn’t play in a conference championship or playoff game. Then you go on to say that no games necessary for winning a division matter, they just get you closer to the games that matter.
You’ve effectively said two different things and applied two different definitions.
Also, enjoy your “rings or bust” perspective, because since you are on the decline of Saban’s tenure you’ll soon be celebrating “solid seasons” with us normies.
I don’t like the comparison to us. It doesn’t feel right. Besides, UGA has a MUCH easier schedule than Auburn every year.
Is that why Gus averages 4 regular season losses each season?
Kirby would be too if he didn’t have a cupcake schedule…
Georgia plays Auburn every year and recently has the advantage in winning percentage…….so…is Auburn a cupcake?
Should be asking Supreme Gump …
Auburn has won six times in their last 20 meetings with Georgia and 2 of their last 10 so feel free to count your own team among those “cupcakes” on Georgia’s schedule I guess C21.
Expect those numbers to change in the near future.
“Kirby would be too if he didn’t have a cupcake schedule…”
and
“Expect those numbers to change in the near future.”
So you not only have a way to look into alternative realities but you can also see into the future? Got it. When you decide to start making defensible and realistic claims, then perhaps we can continue the debate.
We can debate after October, 10, 2020
What I mean by cupcakes, UGA is a east team. Florida, Georgia and who else??
In the west, Auburn, Bama, LSU, Texas A&M are the best teams.
auburn doesn’t have the cupcake schedule Georgia does because they don’t get to have auburn on their schedule.
LOL, Supreme. I have to say, you often crack me up with your comments. You’re easily the funniest commentor on SDS.
C21, Georgia does not have a cupcake schedule. Period. Is it easier than Auburns? Yes. Is it easy to the point of being a “cupcake”? Obviously not.
Calls out Florida and Georgia’s cupcake schwdule after getting beat again by both of them. Good Job.
Eerily similar.
