    u act like the world is going to end(that's in another year). worley had a pretty good game yest., he seemed to have relaxed, which if you were in his shoes against SC you'd prolly be nervous as well. to say Bray has done nothing without hunter is kind of stupid. he was only leading the SEC in several passing categories at the time he went down.

    Bray had a good half against Florida (he could have had a good game had our playcallers not shit themselves and fed Poole for a half after Hunter went down). He shredded Buffalo and he was ineffective against UGA. I have no issue with Worley not being a stud at this point. But yeah, after Hunter went down we had three weeks to prepare for UGA without #11 and we looked like we'd never played the game before and that was with Tyler Bray. Tyler is an excellent QB, but we weren't always able to translate that into excellent offensive play.

    how many times did the wr's drop balls against uga?

    Enough times to where we probably should have worked the middle of the field, where UGA's true freshmen linebackers playing in their first damn game would have been shredded by Michael Rivera. Instead we tried to let Zach Rogers work the sideline.

    So what? A few more completions gets us a few more first downs, and maybe one more field goal attempt. That game was terrible no matter how you spin it.

    never said it wasn't terrible, but you can't say that those completions wouldn't have led to field goals, touchdowns, etc. there were several third downs where the wr dropped a pass. funny you talk about georgia's true frsh linebackers, yet you don't see our frsh in the same light.

    Don't think the true freshmen, other than Worley in his first game (which you can't expect much more), have really let us down this year. The offensive linemen and defensive backs that haven't improved at all are a bigger concern. UGA's two biggest offensive weapons were freshmen, too.

    including the best back in the nation. other than one or two runs by him the D contained him

    Crowley isn't the best back in the nation. We sold out to stop him and when our DB's, a supposed strength of the team, were asked to stop UGA's mediocre receivers they got smoked. Thank goodness Aaron Murray couldn't hit some of those.

    I don't want to go too far to defend this staff because I think they have been mediocre and the UGA / SC games were poorly coached, but we have no running game whatsoever (I believe it's systemic to Chaney), frosh QB (and even our starter has very limited starts), defensive backfield is a sham and LB corps is young or slow. DLine is starting Hood. How on earth do you win anything with that?
