Not if we play basically “2 perfect” games against OU and UF according to Athlon. I have a great deal of respect for what OU and UF have done, and we have no room to talk, but I don’t think we have to play perfect to beat them. Their records speak for themselves, but I think they were flawed football teams last year. OU could’ve been a 3/4 loss team last year. UF didn’t look like world beaters against us, we turned Trask over 3 times I think and then the offense missed multiple scoring opportunities . I’m not saying we would’ve won or should’ve won because Florida was the better team, but the score should’ve been much more competitive .
Our offense’s MO last year was not being able to score, especially in the red zone. This was mostly due to poor decision making from JG and lack of a capable backup QB for when he was struggling. The lack of summer workouts and a shortened spring practice will result in HB not ready to be the starter until the middle of the year. I fully expect blowouts to Bama, UF, and OU. UGA will be our best chance of pulling an upset with HB as the starter, game will mostly be won by our defense tho
