If any of those teams play really poorly, will you give the defense any credit for having something to do with it? It has probably been belabored elsewhere, but it's a damn joke that we are playing half of our conference games against teams on extra rest.

The issue is not the defense per se, but that the drop off in the performance of the offense has not been offset by an increase in the performance of the defense. So far, I think the offense is more responsible for the losses in the Clemson and Miami games, and the defense is more responsible...

I can understand that, but I think if you changed the logo on their helmet to, say, Oklahoma State, everyone would think that's a game we should win. I get that logos do matter some, but I also think we are really close to being a pretty good (say, bottom quartile top 25) team.

We're right there with everyone else in the division, except I think the offense is right on the cusp of being very good. We will beat Duke Saturday, so we'll be 5-3. Carolina: I'd say Carolina will be around a 7-9 pt. favorite, but we'll run all day on them, and let's remember they have a...

Rankings after five games don't even make sense. FSU played Ole Miss and beat them. They both have the same record. Now go look at who's ranked more highly. If only we had some objective evidence by which to judge them...

Okay, so I'll try to respond to each point. Again, I'm not being adversarial, but I do think a bit of clarification is warranted. With respect to Baylor, to me, at least, their situation shows that a non-thouroghbred can compete, but it must cut corners and take risks. Theirs backfired...

Right, which is why I made the qualification.

This isn't meant as a criticism of you or your friend, but the issue here is that getting people in the stadium is a threshold to other things. You must have people in the stadium before the other stuff works; it rarely works the other way. The only recent example I can think of where a...

Paul Johnson is right. And people who gripe about him talking about needing to execute are likely the same people griping about his comments. Straight talk hurts sometimes. The fact that there's a game thread on this website is such a damn joke. If you live in Georgia and are commenting...

The issues blocking might have a bit to do with the fact that we have lost so many offensive linemen to attrition that we're playing guys who should be learning now. 2012: Chase Roberts 2013: Chris Griffin 2014: Gary Brown, Michael Preddy That's probably 25% of the scholarship offensive...

I think Meyer recruits at an equal level to Alabama, though I think it's unfair to compare, say, the head coach at Minnesota to either of them as they're selling different products.

I agree that 6-10 is not an unreasonable outcome for this season, and I am extremely unimpressed with Quinn (not making the playoffs after staring 5-0 is almost impossible, but damn if he didn't accomplish it). However, it's also really unfair to him to judge him with the talent he inherited...

34-24, Tigers.

In Burden's defense, what he did was extremely difficult. He got a hit on the NT (since he didn't know whether Mills could carry or the ball would be pulled) and then moved to the end. Still, though, the inside blocking has got to get better. It's usually said that you want to take away...

Braun still needs to get the inside backer to the ground, and Marshall could stand to do likewise, but the right read and good blocking on the edge works wonders.

I (still) think Clemson is really good, and their receivers terrify me, but Watson has struggled with the deep ball so far this season. If he doesn't get well against us, we will have a chance. What I really want (aside from a win) is to see the offense perform against a good defense. If...

You have my favorite avatar ever. I wish I'd have thought of that.

I initially read that as single white females. I'll show myself out.

The issues we face with the fan support are numerous, and there is not a single fix (save a three or four year run of ten win seasons and beating UGA consistently). Ultimately, I'm of the opinion that if you can't be bothered to go to games when you're a student, you will become an alum who...

Legalize and tax the hell out of it. Same with all drugs.
