Georgia will dominate college football for the next 3 years

You'd be onto something if it had been about Bama. They are the heavy favorite to win the next 2 titles with Tua. He's the most dynamic QB Saban has ever coached. He will be surrounded by the best talent in the country which is game over for everyone else

Fields has to be really good for Georgia to compete

Fields will add a different dynamic with packages built just for him to complement Fromm (like Shockley/Greene in the early 2000s, or Leak/Tebow in 2006). Those two will also be surrounded by immense amounts of talent.

Now, as for Tua, that dude is legit and anyone that has watched the Bama games they brought him in to knew it. He made some freshman mistakes (his INT Monday night was another one) but when he is rolling, he's pretty awesome.

Reading comprehension is tough sometimes so let me help you. I DIDN'T SAY IT, but MANY HAVE SAID THAT SWIFT WAS THE BEST BACK THEY HAD LAST YEAR. I didn't say they would be a better backfield. A lot of what gets attributed to Chubb and Michel is based on their results over their career. But the RB position is the easiest for freshman to come in and make a splash based on their talent so the RB group will be just as deep and just as talented. Any comment to the contrary is a lack of understanding of what's coming in to play.

My reading comprehension is just fine, you’re just confusing yourself and backing out of your delusional statements. Go back and read your whole statement. This isn’t only about Swift, but that’s alright, we’ll agree to disagree.

Statements are far from delusional .. I think yours are wishful thinking at best. As Big Boi stated, this team was able to replace a Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall with Sony and Nick. It isn't like this is some unprecedented act they have to undergo.

I was 100% right in my football analysis.

The Alabama team we saw all year was dominated by the Georgia team we saw all year.

The fact a backup who barely played all year turned in the best one half of football we've ever seen in a championship game was the anomaly that could not have been foreseen.

You are rarely right and when you’re not you disappear and go to another thread to make a ridiculous prediction

So every new RB that Georgia throws on the field is gonna have more production than the previous? That’s what your implying here. We’ve just witnessed the greatest rb duo in your school history and college football history period. What we witnessed is not gonna be easy for any pair of rb’s to beat.

Tough thing next year for uga is that it's an even year, so they only get 3 SEC games in Athens and besides one of their "home" games being in Jacksonville, one of the road games is at LSU.

This is true but schedule is manageable. OOC is very doable unless Tech has one of their good years. They have one really good year every 3-4. I look for UGA to take a small step back next year but return in 2019. They will the favorite to win the East as Fla and Tn will be a year away.

UGA caught Bama last year in recruiting and passed them this year. They will finish #1, already the third best class in recruiting history and still have 4 spots to fill. Already #1 for 2019 as well and I doubt that changes with how loaded the state is. Could end up with 50 4-stars in the State. Tn will hit Ga hard this year, top 5 class easy. 2019 will be a clash of the titans in Neyland.

Last night doesn’t lose momentum, all the big schools have went through it. Bama was in the exact spot last year with a heartbreaker, Clemson the year before. If anything, makes Kirby’s recruiting easier as he can the recruit that they are the only missing piece to a title.

I think the baseline observation is there's a difference in saying it's "possible" to replace the most prolific RB combo in school history and taking for granted that's going to be the case. The "on paper" talent is certainly there but we're still speculating...right?

Look, I really liked Richt, still do. But it's pretty disingenuous to think that Smart hasn't already accomplished more than Mark Richt did.

Haven't the first 2 years under Smart have been nearly identical to Richt's?

I can agree with that. With Swift and Holyfield, we have already seen how explosive both can be. The newcomers have all the talent in the world between the two but yes, we have to see the potential translate on a college field. My other point is, RB is one of the few positions that we see on the field making big plays early as a freshman.

It’s kind of creepy actually.

Richt actually did a tiny little bit better, but weird how identical they are.

HUH????? Not sure I saw Richt in a title game or having the best recruiting class in school history in his second full cycle following on the heels of the number 3 class. Their first year on the field was similar but that's where it stopped. A lot of closer games during Richts 2002 year as well.

Title game wasn’t because Smart had a more successful season, it was because we have a playoff now instead of the BCS.

Neither team would have made it under the BCS system, both would have under the current playoff system.

Richt was 21-5 with an SEC title
Smart is 21-7 with an SEC title

Lol... Now you're acting like a Tennessee fan dogging Fulmer for winning close games in 1998. Richt was winning 11 games a year and had 2 SEC titles in his first 5 years. I'm not saying y'all were wrong to let him go; just that you're trying a little too hard to turn Smart into Nick Saban.

Like I said, I was a fan of Coach Richt. But if you lived through watching both and not just looking back at it, you can tell there is a MUCH different feeling about now. A slew of blowouts this year, HUGE recruiting upswing (I know, I know, Richt recruited a lot of studs and he did but it was never this good) and beating teams that others predict you to lose regularly (MSU, ND, OK, AU --the second time, and heck, even UF). It's not the same unless you are outside looking in.

Yes...and no. Record wise, almost identical. If that stays the course, it’s at least a 5 year run. Richt was in the SECCG for 3 of his first 5 years, winning two. Then Willie Martinez happened and we both can agree what a big Willie can do to a program. :)

TDawg is right in the ‘way’ he has won, this year was total domination and UGA won by the most points avg since Fla in 96. Margin of victory was 30 plus points. That’s crazy, especially when you consider the talent is increasing, this might be his second least talented squad. Last year had the abysmal 2013 class which was decimated both on and off the field.

I do think they take a slight step back next year, leadership wise but also on the field. Playing in the game proved UGA could get there in the eyes of recruits. Many recruits have stated the refs helped, and many news outlets have wrote about the refs, but that is a different subject. Personally, I just think the refs suck, for all games and all teams. They need more training, they just don’t want to spend the money.

Either of us can recruit top 10 talent to Ga or Tn. Richt did a good job at recruiting but didn’t live for recruiting. Dabo, Meyer, and Saban do. They are elite recruiters. Kirby is trying to get there and has a good start, Richt never recruited elite lineman, either side. Maybe one a class on each side, maybe. Smart starts with the lines. Richt recruited on avg about 8-10, same as where his teams would be, around 10. Kirby is 6, 3, 1, and next year is currently 1.

Richt is about the FSU model, elite pkaymakers, not physical. Still is, look at his class, drives me bonkers as I want him to do well. Smart is about physical play and recruiting elite players, at every position.

Pruitt will be about physical play and recruiting, Good times ahead for Tn.

If the playoff had been around, Richt would have definitely been there in 2002.

Probably, but one of the things that drove us nuts is getting walloped in big games by ranked teams. 2015 Bama comes to mind

Yep .. but gosh, working their ass over in the SECCG seems to have soften that blow. Not to mention beating a then ranked MSU and ND. Coming from 17 down to beat OK wouldn't have happened prior to Kirby either.

I'm definitely talking about the first half of Richts UGA career.

Another factor that I feel is important is what did the couple years before the coach took over look like?

Richt followed back to back 8 win seasons

Smart followed back to back 10 win seasons

UGA fans are the worst. Historically they’ve been choke artists and haven’t done much, but if you talk to one you would swear UGA has had the same success as Alabama.
