There's a reason Saban made efforts to keep him around, unlike all the other assistants.

They did look pretty good. I would say them or Auburn are the 2nd best team to Bama. Their defense seems better against the run this season and the O line is not as bad as it was last season. I think we would have to be at least +2 in the turnover department to have a chance to beat them this season.

old news ox, I posted this link days ago in the chatbox. I heard on here that it takes years to turn a team around

Same things were being said about Muschamp in 2012.....

There is one glaring thing with his first two classes though. He has recruited top players on both sides of the ball for what non Florida fans like to call a balanced roster. He has a True Sophmore and True Freshman QB that would both start here. The True Sophmore might never get his job back.

Ox is saying that the Saban tree bears fruit.

Not sure why, but UGA never scares me. No matter how talented they are we seem to always handle them.

I wonder what kind of staff he has. After all no person does this himself, most great programs have a staff that cares, is highly talented, and works very hard. I wonder if our staff is up to these standards.

Georgia will rape us this year.

Ok

Time will tell and just what score or performance would you deem "rape". I doubt that will happen unless we have more players not available.

Good to have an objective goal, now time will tell.

 

[Gator98MD]

I agree with dan. they are going to whip us.

 

[Gatorbait25]

They are definitely improved from a year ago, but Douglas makes a great point. They beat a ND team that lost 8 games a year ago, and will more than likely have a coaching vacancy in about six weeks. That said they are solid against the run, and in order for a team to beat them it will have to be through the air, and/or force a few short fields against the freshmen QB.

Agree. I'm not discounting their team this season because they look solid. But the teams they have beaten are simply names at this point in the season and could very well be garbage once the season plays out. Saturday will tell us a lot.

I'll also point out that Smart inherited a team that won 10 games in 2015, and won 8, with miracle finishes over Mizz, Aub, Uk, Vu and Nichols St and a blowout loss to OM.

I'm not defending JM here, but Smart wasn't needing to rebuild anything. It was on cruise control and had talent all over the field. The AD took a gamble on getting over the hump. We'll see if it pays off. But our scenarios are nothing alike.

Nothing about Georgia scares me, they will always crap the bed against us. Ill make sure to revisit this thread when they lose to a bad Tenn team this weekend.

I was thinking the same thing. They were lucky last year with the last Hail Mary pass. I saw their game with ND, either ND is really good (which I doubt) or pups are not that good.
