Auburn and Georgia on decline

norrislakevol · 09-09-2007, 08:57 AM

I predicted this during the pre-season. Auburn and Georgia are both on the decline (particularly Auburn).

For Auburn, the days of offensive talent have came and went. They just don't have the skill players that they used to. They will struggle mightly this year and get hammered by LSU. I think they struggle for the next 3-4 years myself.

I think that Georgia will lose about 4 games this year, but actually have a chance for a good year next year as some of the younger players grow up a little. One problem for the Dawgs though: Florida and Tennessee will be greatly improved next year, and I just think that Richt is a little over-rated. JMO.

i feel auburn has been playing over their heads in recent years. there has been a decline, but let's not give them too much respect. georgia's year may not be bext year either, qb and other will be mature, but they losing a heck of a lot on defense and their receivers.

I don't think I'd call Georgia a team in decline, but . . . since starting last season 5-0 they are 5-5 in their last 10.

No comment yet. It concerns me that SM drove the ball and scored on us each possession in the first quarter. I will hold my judgement on UGA until after we play SC. I will be holding my breath when SC runs the ball against our D line.

Wait a minute - are you suggesting the "Great Richt" might be struggling?

Impossible - he is an elite coach...

UGA is not in decline.
South Carolina is on the rise.

Auburn is gona go through a rebuilding year, but they aren't on a decline.

Good to see those auto-fellatio classes worked out well for you, VIA.

I'm also going to have to remain in the UGA's not in decline camp until I see some more football. I expected SC to have the best defense in the East this year.
