Look out, LSU Georgia scored a 34-17 win over rival Georgia Tech and looks pretty good heading into the SEC championship game against LSU. The 'Dawgs are getting healthy again and the transition period seems to be over on the offensive line. Quarterback David Greene was getting heavy pressure early on as a line with five new starters got its feet wet and it seemed every wide receiver on the roster was injured at one time, making a 10-2 record an amazing feat. The one constant throughout the entire season, though, has been incredible play on defense. Remarkable speed and pursuit on that side of the ball have Georgia ranked second in the SEC and fourth nationally in total defense (261.9 ypg). The Bulldogs get another shot at LSU after losing to the Tigers on Sept. 20 in a game in which Georgia played well enough to win. The 'Dawgs outgained LSU 411-285 in that game but were hurt by two interceptions from Greene and a big play from the LSU passing game, and I believe Georgia will find a way to win the second time around. LSU has certainly had a great season, but a UGA victory will will clear everything up for the BCS, telling us once and for all that Oklahoma and USC are the two best teams in the nation and deserve to be playing in the Sugar Bowl for the national championship. And despite all the talk about the great offensive players in the SEC -- Ole Miss QB Eli Manning, Auburn RB Carnell Williams, LSU WR Michael Clayton and others -- it is the teams with the two best defenses in the conference meeting in the championship game. LSU's front four of Marquise Hill, Chad Lavalais, Kyle Williams and Marcus Spears might be the best in the nation while Georgia's speed on defense is outstanding, so it looks like quite a game is on tap in Atlanta. This guy really pisses me off!!!
And we just beat Arkansas 55-17, so don't we look good heading into the SEC championship game? Now I want to win even worse just to rock Trev's little world.
Re: Re: Another Intelligent Article from Trev Out of curiousity, what athletic event were the tigers champions of in 2002? Softball, track?
He touts UGA's speed and stats on defense, totally ignoring that our defensive stats are better--and most opponents would put our speed at the top of their list. I don't recall the Alabama players comparing our defensive prowess to Georgia. They said we were better than Oklahoma. And he wants that Oklahoma/USC match-up so bad that he's salivating--"telling us once and for all that USC and Oklahoma are football's two best teams." What does it tell knucklehead when we beat UGA two times in three months? Answer: probably nothing at all.
It's really not hard to understand why some will be picking UGA in this game ... it's in their backyard, the two teams are comparable, the first game was close, and it's extremely difficult to beat the same team twice in a season.
No, Trev, it would not "tell us once and for all that Oklahoma and USC are the two best teams in the nation!" Who's to say that Georgia isn't BETTER than USC (which I think may just be the case, but we'll never know)? It would only tell us which two big name teams lost less than two of their games, with one of them NOT having to go on the road to play a top 5 team for their conference title. Idiot.
What an A$$clown!! Seems like he tries to fabricate anything to dismiss or ignore the fact that LSU is the real deal.
He and Mark May make me so angry. The other day during College GameDay Final, when May said that USC would beat us by 3 TDs I wanted to throw something at the tv...I don't know how I let these two morons get under my skin so much!
Scratch everything else he says in this article, I think it all comes down to this right here. He really wants to see a Georgia victory to "legitimize" USC as the No. 2 team. Let's do what we did in 2001 and shake up the whole BCS!
