Power ranking the top 10 players in the SEC after Week 2
Week 2 in the SEC confirmed a lot of things we thought we knew entering the season.
Georgia’s defense is filthy. The Dawgs have the best secondary in the country and the pass rush, which underperformed at times in 2019, has 5 sacks and ranks 3rd in the SEC in quarterback pressures through 2 weeks, per Stats Solutions. After trailing Arkansas 7-5 at halftime Week 1 (which looks much better now, what a difference a week makes!), the Dawgs have outscored their SEC brethren 59-9 since, surrendering only 3 field goals. That’s a mean machine in red and black, as it was supposed to be.
Mike Leach’s Air Raid is well, Mike Leach’s Air Raid. Defenses that keep things in front of them are going to at least slow them down. That was good enough for Arkansas, which also rode a strong performance from Feleipe Franks to their first conference victory in 3 years.
Other things were confirmed as well. Lane Kiffin’s offense is going to light it up. Kellen Mond is still going to make confounding mistakes, even as a senior. Florida’s Kyles are very good at football, and now have combined for 6 touchdowns in 2 games. Gus Malzahn’s scheme at Auburn hasn’t evolved the way Rhett Lashlee’s has at Miami. LSU is going to be just fine on offense. And with Tua gone, Alabama is still Alabama, the SEC’s frightening gold standard.
In this space, we cover individual performances, and power rank the top 10 players in the SEC after each week. Yes, players who have consistently performed for multiple years get a bit of a “bump” early in the season. Yes, we heavily factor in past week performances into this ranking. But the idea is that by season’s end we have a fair, no hype ranking of the SEC’s best 10 players or a power ranking that, at a minimum, makes fertile fodder for debate.
Here are your best 10 players in the SEC after Week 2, with honorable mentions first. Check out last week’s ranking here.
Honorable Mentions: Mac Jones, QB (Alabama), Christian Harris, LB (Alabama), John Metchie III, WR (Alabama) Dylan Moses, LB (Alabama), Daniel Wright, DB (Alabama), Feleipe Franks, QB (Arkansas), Bumper Pool, LB — the greatest name in the SEC — (Arkansas), Kadarius Toney, WR (Florida), Brenton Cox Jr., DE (Florida), Kearis Jackson, WR (Georgia), Nolan Smith, LB (Georgia), Richard LeCounte III, S (Georgia), Zamir White, RB (Georgia), Myles Brennan, QB (LSU), Derek Stingley Jr., CB (LSU), Terry Wilson, QB (Kentucky), Ainias Smith, RB (Texas A&M), Tennessee RB unit, Tennessee OL, Henry To’o To’o, LB (Tennessee), Deandre Johnson, LB (Tennessee), Shi Smith, WR (South Carolina), Dayo Odeyingbo, DE (Vanderbilt).
10. Jalen Catalon, DB, Arkansas
A big-time top 300 recruit out of Mansfield, Texas, Catalon was limited by injuries in 2019. It’s been fun to watch him blossom early in the 2020 season. First, he helped frustrate Georgia’s new-look pass attack in Week 1, adding 9 tackles and a pass breakup along the way. In Week 2, he was involved in 2 pass breakups and added 13 tackles in helping Arkansas upset then-No. 16 Miss State 21-14 in Starkville on Saturday night. On the year, he leads a vastly improved Hogs defense with 3 pass breakups, is 3rd in tackles with 22, and has forced a big fumble. Does the SEC have better prospects in the secondary? Yes. But they aren’t playing as well as Catalon right now.
9. Terrace Marshall Jr., WR, LSU
Marshall Jr. only had 2 catches against Vanderbilt. He made the most of both opportunities, scoring touchdowns on both.
I probably should be more respectful of his privacy but I found this incredible photo of where Terrace Marshall lives and I had to share it. pic.twitter.com/4NSb6PhFIz

That’s par for the course for a guy who has 14 red-zone targets in the past 2 seasons and has scored 11 touchdowns on those targets. That’s a staggering efficiency rate, but it’s what we’ve come to expect from one of the best receivers in the country.
8. Jaylen Waddle, WR, Alabama
All the preseason All-American has done is average 21.2 yards per catch through Alabama’s first 2 games. His 87-yard touchdown catch early in the 3rd quarter turned out the lights on Texas A&M this past weekend, part of his 142-yard day.

It’s difficult to imagine him falling out of this top 10 this season, unless Alabama is frustrated by the fact there’s only one football.
7. Stetson Bennett IV, QB, Georgia
Bennett is 1 of 2 quarterbacks in this top 10 who was ranked in the 2000s in the 247 composite coming out of high school.
Think about how ridiculous a story this is. Bennett grew up a Dawgs fan going to games between the hedges. He walks on, is so determined to play he leaves for junior college, comes back, and, when a guy the entire fan base anointed a Heisman finalist opts out, is thrust into the job in Week 1 despite taking 3rd-team reps in practice most of fall camp. If you pitched it to a Disney agent, they’d run you out of the building.
All the law firm of Stetson Bennett IV has done is build on Georgia’s great tradition of high performing game manager quarterbacks named for law firms.
The numbers don’t “wow” you: 37-57, 451 yards, 3 touchdowns. But they don’t have to with that defense. And before someone suggests he’s just “average,” consider the pocket presence he has to make plays like the one below in his first Power 5 start.
There were two things that made me sit up in my seat early with Stetson Bennet. This one …. pic.twitter.com/wIlWid23f9
— Richard🇬🇾Johnson (@RJ_Writes) October 4, 2020
He’s just going to get better. Georgia is just going to get scarier.
6. Elijah Moore, WR, Ole Miss
All Elijah Moore has done in 2 games in Lane Kiffin’s offense is catch 20 passes — yes 20 — for 319 yards and a game-winning touchdown.
Ole Miss' final touchdown was a thing of beauty pic.twitter.com/3fg8PAIu5R
— Ben Garrett (@SpiritBen) October 3, 2020
For those who don’t know, Moore was persona non gratis around Oxford when a poorly thought out Egg Bowl celebration and infamous unsportsmanlike conduct penalty ultimately cost Ole Miss the football game — and sent Matt Luke packing — a season ago. That moment overshadowed an outstanding sophomore season for Moore, but it has proven a valuable lesson.
Moore has shown maturity in his approach to 2020, and responding to that kind of mistake shows character. (Notice his demeanor after scoring the TD in OT.) He’s proving himself to be one of the elite receivers in all of college football early in 2020.
5. Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss
What a difference a Lane makes.
Last year, Corral struggled reading defenses and forced too many throws before an injury eventually saw him replaced by John Rhys Plumlee. Most — including me — figured Kiffin would roll with the insanely fast Plumlee as the starter. But Corral was, according to Kiffin, “just better” in camp and won the job.
Now, we’ve seen what the hype was around the former 4-star quarterback. He’s been marvelous in the first 2 games, throwing for 715 yards with an astonishing 76.7 completion percentage and 7 touchdown passes. It’s not a fluke, either. Corral has done it against defenses that finished in the top 20 in S&P+ and total defense a season ago.
The Rebels play Alabama on Saturday, but then the schedule softens, with Arkansas, a mediocre Auburn and Vanderbilt following the Tide. That’s a big-time opportunity for Corral to stay in this power ranking.
4. Georgia OL
If you are going to roll with a game manager (scroll up, y’all), you better establish the run. Georgia did that first Saturday night in Athens, pounding the rock until it softened Auburn up for play-action. When you establish the ability to run the football, it becomes much tougher for defenses to generate pressure. I’m not sure that method traditionally results in pockets as clean as this one (this is more of a man purse than a pocket), but it did for Georgia on Saturday night.
https://twitter.com/RJ_Writes/status/1312751408870031362?s=20
Georgia lost 4 starters up front, but you couldn’t tell at all Saturday evening. That’s one way to protect a new quarterback.
3. Kyle Trask, QB, Florida
If you thought Trask’s 416-yard opening week performance against Ole Miss was just a guy facing a horrible defense, well, think again. Trask and the Florida offense didn’t run nearly as many plays Saturday against South Carolina, but facing a defense with two of the best cover corners in the SEC in Jaycee Horn and Israel Mukuamu, Trask went to work anyway, completing 21-of-29 passes, averaging 9.2 yards per attempt, and tossing 4 more touchdowns. He leads the SEC with 10.
Trask’s big size, better than advertised arm and outstanding pocket presence and footwork have drawn comparisons to Ben Roethlisberger. Maybe a comparison to a Super Bowl winner is a bridge too far, but what’s clear is a guy once ranked in the 2000s in the 247 composite out of high school is now the best QB in the SEC.
2. Najee Harris, RB, Alabama
A criticism of Harris’s being ranked No. 1 last week was that the senior running back “only” had 106 total yards. His 3 touchdowns weren’t impressive enough, I suppose.
This week, Harris “only” had 69 yards. He added 3 more touchdowns anyway, bringing his season total to 5, good for 2nd in the SEC in that category.
Eventually, the clear Alabama No. 1 is going to bust out. For now, he’ll settle for being the guy Nick Saban calls on when it’s touchdown time on the capstone. That’s usually a sign you are the best player on your team, and when your team is Alabama, that means you are one of the best players in the SEC.
1. Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida
These rankings are fluid, of course, but it’s hard to argue with the other half of Florida’s “Kyles” topping this list right now.
I don’t think, as some have suggested, he’s a Heisman contender, because he’s a tight end, after all.
What he is, though, is a problem that no one has an answer to. It’s not just about the opponents Florida’s faced. Pitts whipped up on Derek Stingley Jr. and Grant Delpit and about any defense in front of him a season ago.
He’s just too big and too fast and too strong, and right now that means he’s reached 6 touchdown receptions in 2 games. For some perspective, Ja’Marr Chase, LSU’s Biletnikoff winning receiver in 2019, needed 4 games to get to 6 TDs in 2019, and 2 of those games were against non-SEC competition. Chase finished with 20 (with 4 coming against non-SEC competition) and then opted out of the 2020 season.
I don’t know if Pitts gets to 20 touchdowns in a COVID-shortened season. But for now, he’s the best football player in America’s best football conference.
Until next week …
This list is….awful
It is…
April Fool’s Day came early
Georgia’s offensive line made the cut but the “all world” defense did not? Interesting.
Pitts scares me, because there’s absolutely no one you can put on him esp when Florida get to their opponent’s 40.
Yeah, he had a whole 4 catches against us last year.
Unstoppable.
“Pitts whipped up on Derek Stingley Jr. and Grant Delpit and about any defense in front of him a season ago.”
Well, I can think of one he didn’t “whip up on”.
And if Pitts “whipped up on” every defense he played, seems like he would have AT LEAST been a 3rd-team All-American right?
Nope.
So…one game….determines how good a player is? Is this what you’re insinuating?
Lol. And you’re stuck in last season? It’s ok to respect Pitts, he’s scary.
Did Kyle Pitts sleep your wife or sister or something? You have a lot of disdain for one of the top players in the country.
98, Pitts had 4 rec for 78 yards with a 19.5 ypc against UGA last year. Only one other player had more receptions than him and that was Swain with 8. He’s a much more polished player this season, so we’ll see what happens. I hope UGA’s defense puts all their focus on stopping him by double teaming him. They’ll just feed it to one of the many other weapons they have that will be open as a result. It is pretty funny though how you keep trying to do everything you can to discredit him, that’s a sure sign of fear.
Pitts also had ZERO catches for ZERO yards against UGa after his last catch at 4:40 in the second quarter, great defenses adjust Joe so yes indeed we’ll see what happens again this year. As for the here and now body of work though I’d agree, Pitts number one, the rest of this list is just typical Blackmon background noise…btw Neil, Stetson is not a new QB, he’s been going against that defense of ours for years…
Humper, that doesn’t change the narrative that he did nothing against them. The entire offense struggled with a young inexperienced o-line and no running game. They only had the ball for 24 mins. Not hard to adjust to stoping the pass when you only need 4 guys to stop the run. Pretty sure that won’t be the case this year, but we’ll see.
Hate to tell you Joe…it’s only been two games so far but we’ve only needed 4 guys to stop the run this year too…
I didn’t know power rankings after week 2 must take into account last year.
Joe Burrow had a great game vs Georgia and Pitts hasn’t surpassed those numbers yet, so Burrow should still be ranked 1.
Let’s just say put Stokes on him with LeCounte over the top…nuff said!
Stokes an LeCounte have no hope of containing Pitts. He torched the best CB duo in The SEC against SCAR, what do you think Georgia’s 2nd rate secondary has a chance to do against him?
We shall see! Pitts is a great player and will get his. Not so sure SC DBs are the “best duo in the SEC” in 2020. They were last year but haven’t shown a lot so far. One can argue that Stokes/Campbell et all are just as good and SC doesn’t have anything close to LeCounte/Cine at Safety, which against a guy like Pitts will be key. And with SC, there is no depth after those two, where the Dawgs have plenty across the back 4-5. Gromit, it just shows what little you know about football in counting the two CBs as “the secondary”. And by the way, you probably haven’t thought about the duress Mr. Heisman is to endure that will also affect Pitts effectiveness. Just ask Bo Nix!
Pitts should be concerning UGA fans right now in the same way that NAUTA pretty much singlehandedly beat Florida in 2018 for Georgia. UGA’s TE had what, 4 TDs in that game and most all of his work was in the 4th quarter?
Pitts is a great player, but I am not concerned. UGA has a ton of great players on defense. This is maybe the best secondary UGA has ever had. The talent gap between Georgia and Florida right now is massive. Don’t take my opinion – Google “2020 Team Talent Composite” and see for yourself. Pitts is one player and he doesn’t play defense.
I can’t believe I’m the one who’s gonna bring this up but, to be fair most of the pre season Heisman hype for Newman was by the media, not by UGA fan
Dude…this is real growth here.
Cojones, I’m proud of you.
Newman? Newman who?
I have not seen you in so long
Newman… now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a looooong time lol
Return and Box, you had me laughing out loud.
I was gonna post the exact same thing, but it appears me and Cojo are both livin’ in the same rational world. Respect to you!
Like I said, I’m surprised I’m the one who brought it up but I did get a lot of mileage out of that empty hype. Gotta move on now
well I will take the TN O line over any other in the country. Guess we will see saturday. Georgia may have the best defense and heck maybe even the best team but O line vs O line goes to the Big Orange!
the vols continue to look terrific against Missouri, South Carolina and Vandy.
UGA continues to be preseason National champions.
True, absolutely true. Could be worse though. Could be pre-season #4 in their division.
lol
I never hear anyone talking about WHO the wins in TN’s current streak came against. The streak doesn’t look so impressive when you see who it was they were feasting on.
Reminded me of that scene from Seinfeld where Kramer signs up for Karate and shows up at a kids’ Karate class, beats the crap out of all the kids and declares himself the champion.
We shall see Sat afternoon. Will definitely be good on good for both LOS.
Not after Saturday you won’t.
Not after Ojulari, Anderson, and Smith make slow-footed Baby Mays their b–ch boy.
Boooooy if yall still had May’s yall would say hes the best OL in the nation. We have 4 5 stars on our OL including the nation’s best guard in Trey Smith. Our running game has also been better.
Trey Smith is legit.
Your running game, however, isn’t anything to write home about.
Or it won’t be after we shut it down.
I get that TN has a great o line and I get the confidence that comes with having four 5 stars on the TN o line. But do you know how many players on UGA’s defense are 5 stars? It’d probably be easier to count the ones that aren’t.
You are on crack.
Mac Jones is leading the nation in QB ratings, yards per attempt and several other categories.
Do SDS writers even read the other articles on this site?
And won the Maxwell award for NATIONAL player of the week! But didn’t make THIS list…..
This might as well be called the “Top 10 Offensive Players in the SEC”.
It still wouldn’t be correct.
I missed on a UT upset but was right on with Georgia and Ole Miss wins. There’s plenty to talk about this week without getting into future games. It’s survival of the fittest right now in the SEC with a single loss endangering post-season participation. There will be teams that fall by looking ahead and taking their opponents too lightly.
Love to see Stedson on here
LOL @ “KirbyFart”! Hilarious.
Great more TN trolls with UGA accounts. Yeah so hilarious.
This is incredibly awful. Like drug out of a port-a-john at midnight in Jackson, Mississippi, awful. How is Mac Jones not a top 10 player? How is an Arkansas DB ranked higher than Surtain or Lecounte or Kaiir Elam?
I’ll say that Elam hasn’t been spectacular this year.
I mean Arkansas did shut down the team that just set an SEC record for passing yards the week before and Catalon was a big part of that
No Mac Jones? 74% completion percentage, 13.4 y/a, almost 700 yards and 6 TD… Man what’s he got to do..
It makes no sense.
“when a guy the entire fan base anointed a Heisman finalist opts out”
Seriously? Did we “anoint” him? No.
That was the sport’s media so technically you did that.
I usually like Neil’s stuff but this is a bad list. There are a ton of viable canidates left out. Bennett is a good game manager and he has proven himself no doubt, but he is not a top 10 player in the SEC. “Come on maaaaan.” “You had one job!”
Lol. Have to agree with you. Terrible list. Left out some big time performers this year like Bama QB M Jones. Could’ve been a much better list. Like you said, he had one job! Lol.
Stetson is definitely being overhyped. He’s had 2 solid performances but it’s a long season.
Funny, seeing as he’s more highly ranked by PFF and QBR than a certain Floriduh QB.
Would you rather have Stetson’s PFF rating and QBR or Trask’s CMP ratio, TD passes and yardage?
All depends, does Pitts come with the PFF rating QB?
Humper you wouldn’t want Pitts at UGA. He was only a 3-4 star out of high school. 162Nd ranked recruit and only the 5th best tight end.
.9334 comp rating, he would have qualified for one of our bottom 5 spots Joe (:
Sorry ^ I mean g8rBits
lol
Pitts is phenomenal. And about 24% of Trask’s completions.
Pitts is phenomenal and the major reason why the other receivers account for 36% of Trasks receptions…otherwise the RBs would have 60%
Mon Humpere, 100% – 24% = 76% of Trask’s completions have been to receivers not named Pitts.
Correctomundo seenyour Nash…24 + 36 equals receivers plus 40 for RBs out of the backfield equals 100%
Mon Humpere Jambe du Chien, the three running backs (Davis, Wright and Pierce) account for 16% of Trask’s completions. So the breakdown correctomundo is:
24% Pitts
16% Running Backs
60% Other receivers
So then we were both wrong eh? Good to know neither one of us is to be trusted when winging the facts, yes? Have a great evening Nash, cheers
I used the generic term “receivers” to refer to everyone not named Pitts who has caught a pass from Trask. But fine. Hasta la mañana.
PFF is the worst grading system of all time they said Brandon Graham was a top 10 NFL player…I’m an Eagles fan and I completely disagree
On this site it depends on whose QB their rating.
They are*
No, it doesn’t.
LOL, PFF boy strikes again
“(this is more of a man purse than a pocket)”
LOL now that’s funny right there.
And sure there’s always room to disagree with lists like this, but I enjoyed Neil’s writing.
Trash list. obviously Mac Jones and many others but since we’re here.. Shi Smith has 22 catches 225yds and 2td’s, in 2 games
Tyson Campbell completely shuts down THE GREATEST WR EVAR!!! (after one week) and doesn’t even make the top-10?
I cannot sanction your buffoonery!
Not everybody thinks Seth Williams is that good. I dont.
The list is trash…1st off, I’m gonna go to bat for UGA fans, because I never saw even one Bulldawg fan hype Newman as a Heisman candidate…Being excited about a new talented player hardly merits what you’ve written…Dont even get me started at Mac Jones being honorable mention…You praise the UGA offensive line, yet dont mention their defense?…I could do this all day…I’m sorry to even ask this, but do you actually know football?…Or was this some type of joke to see if we are paying attention?…If you are making more than minimum wage, pat yourself on the back because you are screwing the higher ups at SDS.
The author Neil is a huge G8r fan/alum…does that clear it up for you?
Neil’s list was defined as a “power ranking,” which I take to mean the best players, as opposed to who might have had a good week last week. My own list:
1. Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida. Call me a homer, but he is the best football player in the SEC right now and easily the best tight end in America.
2. Kyle Trask, QB, Florida. Call me a home again, but Trask is one of the three best quarterbacks in the country. Maybe two best. His pocket presence and progressions are night and day better this year compared to last year.
3. Derek Stingley, Jr., CB, LSU. Sorry, no big highlights against Vanderbilt. Doesn’t matter. Best ball skills in the SEC and the best defensive back in America. The two guys ahead of him are only there because they get to score a lot more often.
4. Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss. He’s this high because football is a quarterback driven game. Corral has always had the talent. Kiffin is bringing it out in spades. Corral is the biggest reason why Ole Miss will beat more than a few teams that it isn’t supposed to this year. I rank him higher than Mac Jones because of his escapability.
5. Najee Harris, RB, Alabama. Of course he’s an elite power running back, but his catch at the five yard line on the wheel route this past Saturday is just one more reason why he will get paid next April.
6. Jaylen Waddle, WR, Alabama. Yeah, the young new guy caught more passes. But he’s not just really fast. Check out the crispness of the route running.
7. Mac Jones, QB, Alabama. He’s doing all the right things. And if you think hitting Waddle in stride is no big deal, check out Bo Nix and Anthony Schwartz last Saturday.
8. Dylan Moses, LB, Alabama. He is absolutely back, with sideline-to-sideline closing ability not seen from an SEC linebacker since Devin White.
9. Tyson Campbell, CB, Georgia. Pretty much shut down Seth Williams on Saturday night, taking away Auburn’s best offensive weapon.
10. Isaiah Spiller, RB, Texas A&M. Yes, Ainias Smith was the big play guy on Saturday. But Spiller leads the SEC in average yards per carry with 7.47. While it’s only two games, one of the games was against Alabama. That’s impressive.
This at least is a list with consistency and a sensible method of ranking.
I agree Kirb…all it needed was some CApS inTERmingled and I woulda ranked it in Negans top 5…
This list suuuuuuuuuuuucks. Imagine putting game manager Bennett and UGA OL over UT OL, Stingley, Catalon, Marshall, Waddle, etc
1. Kyle Pitts
2. Kyle Trask
3. Jaylen Waddle
4. Tennessee OL
5. Georgia OL
6. Najee Harris
7. DeAndre Johnson(gotta give credit to SEC sacks leader)
8. Mac Jones
9. Elijah Moore
10. Kylin Hill
This is a much better list than the Author’s.
I would just replace Georgia OL with Georgia Defense or at least part of it…pick one.
I would also add Shi Smith from SCAR and Henry To’o To’o or Eric Gray in place of Kylin Hill and?
I should get his job lmao
Since being a homer seems to be the order of the day on this post, and units are as fair game as individuals, here’s my list:
(1) UGA defense
(2) Gimme a minute – something will come to me . . .
Come on man, the typical UGA homer would complete your list with UGA special teams #2 and UGA offense #3. Get with the program
Remember, I’m one of the rational ones ;-)
1. Florida offense
2. Georgia defense
3. Alabama offense
4. Alabama defense
5. Georgia offense
6. Ole Miss offense
7. Tennessee offense
8. Kentucky offense
Kentucky is ranked despite their mistakes. I really like the effort from the Arkansas defense, but no other SEC units deserve to be ranked yet. The Florida and LSU defenses are talented but haven’t played to anywhere near their respective talents yet. South Carolina’s offense could climb if they deploy a little more urgency than a casual stroll in the park.
Shouldn’t Arky get a mention in there?
their defense would be ninth.
Great – we get to see almost your entire list! But Georgia supposedly caught a scheduling break this year . . .
No comprendo.
UGA will face everyone on your top 10 list except Ole Miss this season. But the narrative a few weeks ago was that we were gifted a soft schedule by the SEC. Not is your list is accurate.
*if
I thought the narrative going all the way back to when the original SEC schedules were issued was that Florida had been gifted the softer schedule for 2020, which I don’t dispute.
It’s even become more so because Texas A&M and LSU have had player opt outs and LSU, a perennially tough cross conference rivalry game for Florida, doesn’t look as challenging now.
While I think Georgia should win, the Tennessee game now looks like it will take a tougher physical toll the week before Alabama. Georgia absolutely has the tougher schedule this year.
Ole Miss has a better offense than Georgia with a much better QB and play caller
Corral and Kiffen are better than any Georgia quarterback on the roster and Monken. But Georgia has more pieces at receiver, running back and offensive line.
It’s tough to call because the quarterback drives everything against tougher competition.
Way to go Jalen so glad you decided to stay cause this defense wouldn’t be same without you.
I agree with Pitts at #1. After that, I have issues.
Neil wedged Najee between the Kyles so that he wouldn’t be accused of being a homer.
It didn’t work, he’s a homer
Clearly.
Editor Chris Wright, writers Matt Hayes and Neil Blackmon are all Gator grads. Should they rename the website?
Bunch of UGA fans hating on Pitts. I wouldn’t expect anything less. UGA reigns supreme and FLA is just mullet, gayturds, floriduh ect. I bet most UGA fans on here cheer for them because their great grandfather knew somebody that knew somebody that was once a water boy for the almighty dawgs. It’s pretty typical among my UGA acquaintances that they don’t even know why they cheer for UGA when I ask, but will talk trash when they’re good.
Name one Leghumper fan hating on Pitts here Atlg8r…I think most UGa fans have agreed Pitts is a difference maker, tone down the bs
Check out some of your buddies ugaflyfisherman and class of 98 comments. Don’t seem too concerned w Pitts and still a massive talent gap between teams. That opinion is totally fine with us.
I didn’t see it as disrespecting Pitts, more so just over confidence in our defense. The way our defense is playing at this moment I to am not overly concerned Pitts alone will beat us, I am overly concerned that we aren’t playing Pitts at this time however, so doesn’t really matter what I think, lots of time and game tape to study for defensive and offensive adjustments by the time of the WLOCP…thanks goodness Grantham is predictable
I get it, UGA defense is elite. And yes Grantham is starting to piss us off but I think we’ll get better as most others do as the season goes on. This years WLOCP might be the most interesting ever.
On that subject I whole heartedly agree AtlG8r…I only hope both teams have none but no more than 1 loss each when it finally get’s here…game of the year
ATL Gator,
You are a complete idiot. The first 5 words of my comment were “Pitts is a great player.” How stupid could you be? You’re trying to twist my words. You really make the Florida fanbase look bad with your incessant idiotic trolling.
Your list is based on emotion. That’s not the best way to make a football list unless it the Top Players With Team Spirit.
