What I meant is that if we win the East, imo, it can only come by us winning it on the field, including in Jax. If they aren't upset this weekend by ut, I don't see uga losing to anyone else on their schedule.
But you stated we'd backed in to Atlanta twice already, which isn't the case. You can't call it backing in when you win the division by 2 games.
And yes, of course we are fortunate to have won games thus far. My post wasn't some ringing endorsement of the staff. We've been fortunate plenty before and had no problem with it. I think people forget games like Usce in '92, '93 and '99. Or Gaffney's catch in 2000 against the vols. Or one of our best teams, and eventual SEC Champs, needing a miracle play to a walk on a post pattern that Uk somehow didn't expect. Or in 2006, the fsu player narrowly avoiding staying in bounds on his KO return that would've tied things up. Or the uga RB's fumble that year that was the only reason our NC team avoided overtime against the bulldogs. Or the vol defender's hands-to-the-face play negating a pick-6 in a 1-point win.
There is always a measure of good fortune in an team's success. And while I'm not happy with McElwain, and have said so on many occasions, I'm also balanced enough to acknowledge that games like NoColorado are on the schedule for a reason, and we lost an opportunity to perhaps work out a few wrinkles and improve confidence. Add that to the games we lost or had affected last year, the PEDs and injuries at QB, and I think you could equally argue that he's been battling bad luck through most of his time here.
Now having said that, I hope this team recognizes the gifts they've been given and stops allowing things to get to the point they've been in the past 2 weeks.
