The 2020 season= Manning/T Martin "thing"

Something tells me that there is a good chance Mac gets serious consideration. Lia hasn't progressed as fast as Tua, and the staff may want another year to decide between Bryce and Lia. Mac is a capable qb.

Yeah and that's why I was never a fan of those threads last year about the Greatest Team ever and can we 3 peat. With our massive defensive departure in 2017, we were basically handcuffed to the performance of 2 players last year (Williams last year), and 1 this year. I think Tua's ineffectiveness in the 1st half shows you how much we are dependent on him. To win a championship that has to change. We aren't Clemson with a soft schedule so we cant rely on that moving forward.

Well Spurrier had Wuerffel and one of the best programs of the 90's when Manning was playing. Tee really caught Florida on their coming back down to Earth stage, and played a FSU team that was a year away from something and was just happy to be there.

Despite what people think, our offense is going to be really good next year. Trey Sanders will probably be our workhorse next year, and we have the line to move anyone if they are on their game. I think what has really hurt us is that we haven't had a TE that can block and catch like we have had since 2009.

LSU gambled on Burrow, and it paid off after he got a qb coach that understood him. But they are going to have some difficulty to continuously finding a qb that can pick up on that type of offense as fast as he did. Not every P5 qb has that NFL Qb gene in them, to be honest most don't. If they play the Free Agent game at qb then they will strike out more than they knock it out of the park.

I wasn't really confident that we would win a national championship this year (still possible I guess) after hearing at how bad our defense was at fall camp, and how big of an injury Trey Sanders was. Next year is a more favorable season than what it appears. UGA is most likely losing ALOT of folks to the draft, and Auburn is losing their entire defense. LSU is going to be in the qb market. Alabama will probably roll through the West with ease next year, and possibly the SEC entirely.

I read on another site (can't remember which, but it was a quote from a reporter), that Taulia was giving our defense trouble during practices for LSU and that the coaches realized it would be difficult come game time. The defense was getting beat alot in practice with Taulia acting as Joe Burrow. Even if Golding is in over his head, shouldn't the other coaches on staff be helping him? Sunseri, Huff, etc. They have more experience than Golding I think. Injuries are a big part of it, but still having players so confused/lack of tackling is a big issue too.

It's hard for any defensive scheme to work without a DL that can consistently get a penetration and we simply haven't had one in two years now. It's a ripple effect that impacts the entire defense. The game is truly won at the LOS. We can point to open field tackling, young players getting confused about coverages etc. But at the end of the day, all of that doesn't matter if the DL cannot penetrate the offense.

Exactly why losing so many recruits to Clemson, NFL Draft, and High caliber players hitting the transfer portal is taking its toll on our dynasty. Nothing continues forever, and if this is the beginning signs of the down slope, still ain’t so bad. We only lost by 5 to the “best team in the country”

Ive always been for the expereinced DC over an up and comer, but it ultimately comes down to your players. Even with Moses we are probably still this bad. We just do not have a linebacker like a Hightower, a Ragland, a Mcclain, and a Foster that has that can get our guys in the right position and that can adapt to what the offense is doing throughout the game. Quinon last year hid that truth with how destructive he was on the line, this year we dont have that destructive force on the line.

Next year we open with USC, play UGA, play LSU at our place, but get AU at home. That's a tough schedule. Who knows which coaches will be gone by then, which players will be injured, etc.

We need to hire someone else at DC or someone to be co-DC to help Golding. He will be more experienced next year though, and we should have more good recruits.

I wonder if Jake Fromm stays for next year? If so, the UGA game will be a tough one if Tua leaves.

fify. imho, but i am not at all worried about uga at home next year.

we heard something similar to this pretty much yearly at some point in 2010-2015.

Wow. Think we need a change at DC. We've seen 2 years of the same thing. Injuries do hurt, but I'd expect some improvement as the season goes along. Not seeing it. Basically, if our offense is making too many mistakes our defense can't cover. The Clemson game last year and yesterday's loss are case in point. Why are some defending Golding? "He got embarrassed by LSU and so will do better next time"? SMH, couldn't disagree more. Can we get Pruitt back?
