This might be the dumbest recap of a game I've ever seen on here, which is really quite the fete on the Football Board. Sark didn't choose to go away from the run. He was forced to because our RBs, you know the guys you say should have the ball more, fumbled twice in the second half. Sark was dead even on run and pass in the first half, and he even kept it equal after Baxter fumbled in the third quarter and we started to get behind. By the end of the third quarter, Sark ran it 21 times and passed 21 times, despite being behind almost the entire third quarter. It wasn't until Blue fumbled in the 4th quarter and we were down 13 with 12 minutes to go that Sark was forced to throw a ton. He ended up throwing 23 times and only running 7 in the 4th quarter because we were down double digits and running out of time. If our RBs don't fumble twice in the second half, Sark is never forced to pass almost exclusively and we stay balanced the whole game and probably win, but none of that was Sark choosing to go away from the run.

Reading is hard. The concern over size was noting it’s our only spot where we don’t have great depth and it’s only a concern if we lose Shedrick and then have no one 6’8 or above. The teams you listed had guys with size/strength who could hold up inside. We don’t have that after Shedrick so he needs to stay healthy. If he does, we’ll be more than fine.

Ehhhh. This isn’t really true as it relates to our roster. The addition of Kaluma makes that more possible, but if we don’t play a 5 then we won’t have a single person on the floor 6’8 or above. That’s not really a viable main strategy, but it can work to mix it up now and then. Point is, we really need Shedrick to play well and stay healthy, or we’ll be extremely vulnerable to certain teams.

It's pretty obvious. They were the #1 team in FEI last year with the #1 offense and #11 defense. They only had 2 guys drafted in the top 100 and replaced their biggest loss, Nix, with Gabriel who isn't that much of a downgrade. So they didn't lose nearly as much talent as most of the other top teams last year, like UT, MIch, or UW, and they also brought in some big time transfers like Jamaree Caldwell and Jabbar Muhammad. On top of that, their schedule is pretty soft, only playing 2 top 25 teams all season.

Or people are just tired of your constant, shitty posting. You responded to a poster saying UGA was "decent" academically. Now you've moved the goal posts to singing their praises. UGA is absolutely decent academically in the context of football recruiting. This conversation gets beaten to death on this board. Usually when a kid mentions academics they just mean which schools will make it the easiest for them to pass their classes.

Outside of being thin at the 5, this roster has insane depth. Seems like Johnson and Mark will both be starters , which means only one of Pope, Weaver, Kent and Kaluma are likely to start. We are going to be at least 8 deep with power conference starting-level talent.

Exactly. Any smart recruiter would hammer that story home to a family who cares about school and off the field things instead of focusing on something like all the felonies and car-related arrests they keep having. As if subjecting us to all your shitty takes on NIL for months on end wasn’t enough, now you’re trying to argue UGA doesn’t have good academics relative to football schools. I’m sure OB’s having a sale on annual subscriptions. Maybe you should go check it out.

Starting to wonder if that baseball catcher is our version of Littlefinger. He joined the team two weeks ago and has already moved up two spots on the depth chart.

Exactly. No chance it could be a defensive player, definitely not the guy who can’t beat out Gen Z Blake Gideon for a starting spot.

I see you still have Gideon and Joseph as your DB coaches in the game.

That’s measuring both hands, right? /Hudson Card

Why is that surprising? Baylor has a long and storied history of letting predators loose on campus.

Why wouldn’t he be? He’s been here since the winter, had 16 sacks last year, and was being heavily recruited by Ohio State, Bama, and Texas in the portal. It would be noteworthy if he wasn’t starting.

I’m very skeptical Liberty stopped RBR from cutting Checo. It seems a lot more likely Carlos Slim got word and told RBR they’ll have to refund the $30ish mil he paid them for Checo to have a seat this year, and RBR had to reconsider if Danny Ric or Lawson are a $30 mil upgrade for 12 races. Narrator: They are not.

I don’t think this ever happened. Barron got hurt during Fall camp and wasn’t fully healthy at the start of the season. I’m pretty sure he was always the starter over Guilbeau when healthy though.

Texas A&M Recruiting 2025: “Right now I wouldn’t totally write him off though.”

That’s a lot of weed to pack in. Sounds like futureman could learn a thing or two from Agiye.

I’m honestly wondering if they’re trying to lose the WCC to get more wind tunnel time over the offseason. That or Horner just being on a massive power trip are the only two reasons I can think for keeping Checo. He’s been so, so bad.

Our car might get slower with every update, but at least we can make middle of the road strategy decision most races! /New Ferrari Motto

Put him in the calculator. If Brandon Harris feels confident in landing him, then that’s good enough for me.

Same. This is a 2010/2012 type of season, except that Max has a bit too big of a lead in WDC, but there are legitimately 3-4 teams that could win a given race and no one knows who will be fastest at each track. I’m rooting for Max to have a DNF just to get the WDC closer. That would make this just about the perfect season, which is crazy considering how last year went. Danny Ric getting in the RB and at least being competitive would be a fun addition. It would be really cool to see him win one more race.
