I really don’t think it will make a difference. I just wish JG would use his athleticism more if he’s not gonna make strifes in decision making and the mental aspects.

I keep hearing about this athleticism, but I've never seen it. From all the plays I have seen with KC and JG, I think KC may be the better "football" runner

Agree. JG is slow. Looks like he is running in mud. What really got me was his predetermined mind set on where he was going to throw the ball before the snap.

They won't win the SEC, which means they won't get into the playoffs. I know Alabama did it last year, but thats because they lost to Auburn and didn't get to the SEC. I think UGA gets to the SECCG but lose it to UA.

UA is a machine this year. Could go down as Sabans best team and disgustingly one of the greatest teams of all time. Hopefully that will propel Saban into retirement.

I want Jeremy Pruitt and the Big Orange to propel him into retirement. I want to be the program that finally ends it for him and them, if there's a program to do it. Seems only right, the program that's beaten them more times than any other, to be the program that beats them 3 or 4 times for SEC Championship, before he hangs it up.

Defense not giving up chunk plays. Make teams drive the field

I know we officially gave up 250 yards rushing, but I was encouraged at times by what we saw from the run defense. 40 of those yards are a picked up fumble where the entire secondary is on the other side of the field, and then 30 more from where Banks fumbled late. When Fromm was in the game they struggled to run at times. Still a long ways to go, but something to build on.

He was def overrated in that aspect but he still could get better at moving in the pocket and picking and choosing spots to run. You don’t have to be a track star to do that.

This criticism of starting JG reminds me so much of the constant criticism of the decision to start Dobbs. Most of his career here many insisted he didn't deserve to be starting, that it was a bad decision. Finally, I suppose early in his senior year, those fans started admitting how good he really was, that the system and the rest of the team just didn't always allow him to show it.

Of course, fans also relentlessly criticized CDC and CPF for starting Peyton over Stewart. I've learned not to listen to fans' opinion of who should be the starting QB. For many, the QB that should be the starter is the one who isn't.

Athens was really fun besides the loss. Their fans were pretty cool besides a couple jackasses here and there. 10/10 would recommend

It's a fun atmosphere but honestly it's the only place I have ever feared for my safety. The Hail Mary was more than those folks could handle and I certainly wasn't leaving there that day quietly

The Dobbnail Boot was insane after. Everyone pissed off and trying to fight.

This was my second time down to Athens. Both trips have been good as this year I had zero expectations on game. Biggest issue yesterday was actually a jackass Vols fan inside the stadium. Sanford is nice but doesnt come close to the energy you get from being inside Neyland.
