I think a lot of you are setting yourselves up for a huge disappointment. I’m as big a Tiger as anyone here but I’m also a realist.

I see a lot pointing to the 10-3 game. That game may as well have been over a decade ago. These 2 programs have went in different directions since that game so that has absolutely zero bearing on this one coming.

I also see a lot of people pointing to Moore and Wesco as being big difference makers. They are freshmen yall. They’ve never played a down of college football. Don’t put those type of expectations on those kids in game 1. It’s totally unfair to them. They’re not going to go crazy against the UGA defense.

If this game were week 5/6.. then maybe we would have a shot. Game 1… it’s not going to be pretty. See Georgia’s last 2 week 1 games and that’s what I think is going to happen again. We don’t have the OL to protect Cade against the loads and loads of depth UGA has up front on defense.

I’m sure I’ll get the downvotes like crazy and that’s fine… I don’t care about the pulse but I know many or most of you do. I’m just giving my honest opinion.

Yes we’re going to show up an play the game regardless of what I think so please save the “why even show up” responses. It’s just my opinion and of course I pray I’m wrong but I don’t think so.

I think this game is over by the end of the 1st quarter. Georgia will be dialed in and ready bc they always are. I’m all for homerism but you have to be honest with yourself in that we are outmatched at almost every position.

The flip side is this game is going to make us better in the long run this season and even if we lose 56-0 it has no bearing on our goal of making the playoffs. All we have to do is win the ACC and we’re in so we will reap the benefits from this game later in the season.

I think it gets ugly for the good guys unfortunately. Unless the light comes on for Cade over the summer, he hasn’t faced a defense like he’s going to in UGA. He’s going to have to play his best college game and by a wide margin. I didn’t get the warm and fuzzies from his last drive against Kentucky like a lot of folks on here did. I saw the rest of his performance and thought it’s getting close to time to turn the page on him. I’m already having nightmares about some of his blind lobs down in Atlanta.

We’re not going to be able to lean on Mafah like we can against most everyone else. I think the two freshman will be the best WRs on the team by the end of the year, but not in this first game. We struggled scoring on anyone the last few years, I just am having trouble seeing where the points are coming vs UGA.

I am excited to see our defense on the flip side. I think ultimately they wear down by the end of the game, but I think we have a chance to be special on this side of the ball and I hope to see some flashes here.

I’ll be happy with a strong defensive showing, some signs of OL competency, and Cade playing with some maturity. All three could point to a great regular season after game one.
