Not really a thread to post this sort of thing, so thought I'd just drop it here.
The good
- Jamal Haynes needs 63 rushing yards to move into the top 20 GT all time.
- Haynes King needs a single rushing yard to move into the top 40. With 15 passing yards, HK passes Jeff Sims, yes the Jeff Sims, for 7th. With 5 TDs, he'd tie Godsey for 4th all time.
- Malik and Singleton are 15th and 16th, but could move up to 13th with good games.
- Aidan Birr is already 5th all time in FG makes with just 28.

The bad
- David Shanahan is 412 punting yards short of 10,000 in his career.

The ugly
- cgc lost 28 games in 4 years. Coach Heisman lost 29 in 16 years.

I don't think the current UGA team is better than the 2023 team.

I would definitely take the under on that. To me, if King was 100%, the spread would be a lot closer. 8-12 point range.
But all depends on keeping turnovers down, and staying focused.
Agree, but King isn't even at 80-90% when it comes to passing deep.

Is this the year that Key breaks another streak like we did in 98? This team kinda has that same vibe and Key did play a prominent role back then and even more so now.
This team is not the 1998 team personnel wise. Joe H was not injured and, aside from the opening game vs. BC, did not blow a game. We did pick up a couple of very close W’s. Wasn’t that the late Dez White TD against UVA?

Well, Heisman is in the college hall of fame and has the most prestigious trophy named after him as well as having a long list of All Americans and All Southern players that helped him with things like setting the all time record for points scored and a national championship He was nationally famous for his innovative "shifts" in the backfield from one side to another. Newspapers all around the country showed photos of him with a small megaphone calling out to his players: "Hop lads hop, you must learn to hop like a chickadee" Anyway, it worked

Except that this UGA team is a whole lot better than that one and the 1998 team is a whole lot better than this one with a healthy Joe Hamilton at quarterback as opposed to an injury riddled team with a quarterback that seemingly cannot throw a pass more than five yards without enduring pain to his shoulder.

I think our best chance to win is the run game . Like Miami , we need HK in there to open up the run game . Philo needs to be effective , I’m afraid against a defense like Georgia in that atmosphere is a lot to ask of AP . My personal opinion is that Haynes is gonna give it a go and may just say F it and throw a few down field because who cares about next week? Kelly Quinlan said he’s been throwing downfield In practice but it’s just painful. If we’ve learned anything about Haynes is that he’s 1 tough dude . Either way whoever plays THWg let’s get after Beck and show them this team is here to stay .

You are probably right but it seemed to me that every time he was tackled and landed on that shoulder he would come to the sideline wincing in pain. I hate to have him suffer just because of a damn football game
