Yes.  Number 3 and that could be a stretch based on what we have seen so far.

To anyone reading this, if you are here you likely have an idea that I am a pretty big fan of the Dawgs but no homer am I.  I do my best to call things as I see them.  I will resist the urge to hop on a popular fanatical Georgia Football forum and bitch, whine and moan like the the state of Georgia Football is worse than the banking sector right now.  The sky is NOT falling but it sure isn’t all blue skies and warm sunshine either.

Through three games against sub-average NCAA to sub-average SEC teams Georgia has proven that they can score points against non-SEC defenses (sub-average NCAA at that) and that they struggle scoring points against a sub-average SEC team.  Georgia put something like 101 points on two sisters of the poor (sorry GA Southern, ya ain’t watcha’ used to be) but were trailing at the half to good ol’ South Cackylacky.  If you have listened to any of the fringe you will hear the excessive wide-receiver and running-back rotation comments.  You will hear that a few of our players should just pack it up and go home.

Georgia is 3-0.  They didn’t lose to South Carolina.  Was the team jacked to Celebration-levels this past Saturday?  Hell no.  Do I think those levels of energy can be sustained through a full season of games that this team faces? Nope.  Am I happy that the Dawgs limped their way back to Athens with a W over the Ollllllllllllllllllle Ball Coach?  Hell yeah.

What is going on with our Defensive Backs?  What is going on with no pass rush from our Defensive Line? WHAT THE HELL IS SO HARD about kickoff coverage?  I don’t know and I don’t pretend to know and it is above my pay grade.  If you just HAVE to have some answers there is a really popular forum where the theories abound… good luck with that.

What I do know (or think I do) is that Georgia is NOT the 3rd best team in the nation right now and to be honest it doesn’t really matter at this point in the season.  USC, Oklahoma, Missouri, LSU and even Bama are playing good ball.  Anyone could make an argument that ANY of them (I know, 2 of them are) could be ranked ahead of Georgia and have a leg to stand on.  Again, does it matter?  As a Georgia fans, all we can do is give Richt the faith he deserves because he has earned it.  I am sure he recognizes the possibilities in front of him, his coaches and this team and will do everything in his power to get this ship on the right track.  There is a helluva lot of football to be played and when the dust settles if Georgia can work its way through this season it will be hard to deny that they are one of, if not the best, football team in the nation… thing is.. one day.. one game at a time.  Let’s do our best to enjoy them!

GO DAWGS!!!
