[QUOTE="Old South Stands, post: 495327, member: 1036"] This past Saturday reminded me a lot of the early '80s -- except we were not competitive with anyone back then (except maybe Alabama). Right now we are competitive with the teams on our level. UGA is on an entirely different level now, which should be pretty obvious. Jake Fromm has grown a lot and proved to be a smart and accurate passer. The team is good all-around. But I think Alabama today is in a class by itself, and barring a perfect performance by UGA (and Alabama coming out and laying an egg), I don't see Georgia winning the SEC. It may actually be a lopsided game, unlike last year. Maybe Georgia jumps out ahead by ten or so at the beginning off pure adrenaline, but Alabama eventually gets rolling and doesn't stop. If you look at UGA's schedule, they haven't really played anyone outside of LSU, who manhandled them. The recent Auburn game wasn't really even a good test. So, it's hard to see whether Kirby has righted the ship over there or whether it's just a case of superior athletes outclassing lesser competition. A word of encouragement, UGA was still playing for NCs at the start of '84, and aside from losing Herschel to graduation, they were in many ways still the same program they were in '81, '82 and '83. We came into that game unranked and basically did to them what we did to them on Saturday. Just because Kirby is at the helm and is recruiting athletes doesn't mean they're going to stay dominant forever. Over at UGA, they feel the NC is their birthright and Kirby was hired to win them a championship. They came very close last year, but if he isn't able to achieve it in the timeframe they want, then the program eventually comes back down to earth the way we've seen them recently. [/QUOTE]
