Whom I love. There just aren't enough of him on offense or defense. I think Brian Kelly left ND because he didn't think he could get enough athletes to win a national championship there. You can at LSU. Now he isn't crushing it there. But it has been crushed there in recent history. The last time they won a title I was a 14 year old JV basketball player. I am 51.
That would definitely change things for Georgia, but Beck hasn't been amazing, the Georgia team is built on a lot more than the QB, and I think their backup is decent. So, I don't think the loss of Beck would be as impactful as loss of starting QB to other teams but hard to know. The fact that he wasn't in the locker room after the injury and came in for the last play (with a limp arm admittedly), seems to portend well to his availability but you never know. We shall see....
Maybe. But Geoegia fans HATE Beck. He was supposed to be a huge upgrade over game manager Stetson Bennett. And Beck has all the arm talent in the world. And he has managed to be a good QB. Which is the worst thing in the world to have in an era of great QBs. He is definitely not better than the underrated and chronically underappreciated Bennett. UGA fans were excited to see Beck get hurt and his back up come in. And he played pretty well. Not like the Miami situation last year where their back up came in and made me feel sorry for him.
Yeah the backup was very solid until that bad interception (of which Beck has had plenty this year) and still lead Georgia to the point of the game winning play. I saw nothing to downgrade Georgia’s chances of Beck is injured…
As a Georgia fan I can verify that sentiment. But I do think the Bulldogs are better with him than with Gunner.
And Gunner is a Georgia boy who was all-everything in high school.
Gunner will likely be better than Carson in the long run. But right now I think GA is better with Beck in these upcoming playoffs.
Dude, didn’t you learn your lesson last year after talking the same crap about Michigan? Notre Dame recruits nationally (has for some time); their classes are generally Top 10, and not just because of linemen, and have been trending better under Marcus Freeman. Not saying I’d necessarily pick ND over UGA but that characterization of the Irish program is well past it’s sell by date.
No one (including committee based on rankings) believe top 12 teams made the playoffs.
I’m ok with the five conference teams still getting in, but not thrilled. My biggest gripe is Indiana, who had no business being included. And PSU was ranked too high.
What is Indiana supposed to do though? They played the two championship game finalists from last year and UCLA and smoked them all. It’s not their fault those teams sucked. It’s not like they are the SEC playing 8 conference games to pad schedules and I am saying that as a UT fan. The SEC refusing to do a 9 game conference schedule is cowardice.
I don’t think the goal was ever getting the best 12 teams in. I think it’s a combination of including all the legit title contenders while making sure there is reasonable breadth of conference participation.
Yes, it's a nephew-uncle thing. He worked UNC and NCSU games this year, but I doubt he will be doing our IL football game next fall.
bingo.
This is a perfectly reasonable take. I was wrong about Michigan. Plus I really like Freeman. Big fan of his.
The difference is that one is post-season, one is regular-season. But you understand my point, it should be a reward to play for a conference title. If it hurts you, it’s no longer a reward.
Yes, my understanding is that Gunner broke both DeShaun's QB rushing yards record and Trevor's passing yardage record for Georgia high schools.
