We're going to get to see the mettle of this team and I'm excited for it. Last year, the team rebounded well after each loss and won every subsequent game with the exception of the Alabama game (which came after the questionable loss to Ole Miss, but I digress). I know Hooker got pressured and hit a ton yesterday so I will be interested to see if that has messed with the timing in his head. Hopefully he can snap, clear, and resume the way he was playing in previous games.
While I would not have chosen a loss to UGA, yesterday probably played out in the best possible way. If you can get in to the playoff without having to play in the SECCG, that is the ideal path. You essentially get another bye. Take care of business. Beat these next three scrubs like we should and let's finish strong. Would love another rematch with UGA. If they beat us again on a neutral field site, you just have to tip your cap to the better team. That being said, we have got to get some of these big bowl games out of Atlanta. No reason UGA should essentially get home games in both the SECCG and a playoff game. At a minimum, the SECCG should move to Nashville which is pretty much equidistant for most of the SEC.
Just my $0.02. That and four dollars will buy you a coffee at starbucks.
