    You can't deny the 5-19, 47 yrds, 1INT. A 26% completion rate w/ a 9.4 avg. is dismal at best. Brennan has a long way to go, and if Burrow goes down at any point in the season "we be fucked" in terms of a back up.

    Maybe our decision is as good as the 86 Chicago Bears.

    Can Burrow run the wishbone?

    Our success is going to be hinged on the question, can the OL hold blocks long enough for Burrow to make his checks and throws? We can not afford to have Burrow forced out of the pocket running for his life and taking a lot of hits.

    I have low expectations. I’ve made that clear, not gonna talk about the negatives right now, we all know them. The positives are we could have an elite defense if we can stay healthy, and no one is giving LSU a chance. That can do things to a team, it can either deflate them or drive them. We shall see.

    I wish we could just every now and then, have an elite offense to go with our suffocating defense.

    Will Cain has stolen my position uga is the new team of the sec. Probably wishful thinking.
    21%. That's amazingly awful.

    It's certainly looking that way. After a so so 2016 the dawgs came up like gangbusters last season. Only Kirby's not so Smart decision to play the second half of the natty game not to lose stood in the way of their first title since the Herschel Walker era. I think they already have 6 5 star commitments for 2019. Makes me glad the 14 team conference schedule means we don't have to return the visit to Athens next year.
