To sum up the in-depth analysis from most UGA fans...


Aug 12, 2014, 10:47 AM

Tajh and Sammy are gone; Clemson's offense has no one else. (Look at our recruiting classes; the talent is there.)

The game is in Sanford stadium; Clemson will wilt under the SEC environment. (Sanford is regarded as one of the quietest stadiums to hold 90K+. Their older boosters sit on their butts the whole game.)

They have FSU's DC Pruitt who shut down Clemson. (Nevermind the fact that Pruitt had FSU's talent, not UGA's, and had the defense thoroughly installed.)

Corey Crawford's suspension is huge. (We too deep.)

Clemson's defense gave up tons of passing yards last year. Hutson Mason will light it up once Clemson stacks the box to stop Gurley/Marshall. (Our DB depth was decimated last year by injuries. This group is different.)

Anything else?

Pruitt didn't really stop Clemson last year. We mvoed the ball pretty effectively before coughing it up or making bonehead mistakes. It was after going down by 27 (or 28 whatever it was) that pruitt stopped Clemson once we abandoned the run.

Of the 7 Clemson drives in the first half, 5 went across mid field before we coughed it up or made a dumb play.

Here is some extremely elementary in depth analysis from me, a UGA fan. I feel like you guys will take a small step back on offense this year, although, you will probably be a little better on D. Therefore, you guys will basically be the same team you were last year talent wise. Now for us, We lost Murray on offense, that is about it, I think Mason is a step back from him in some aspects. So, that will lead to a step back for our offense. On defense, we will be better because of coaching, maybe this year our players will be facing the los at the snap.

I really see the game playing out alot like last year. Two good teams duking it out and looking for that game changing break. I dont see either team being head or shoulders above the other and I dont think anyone who is rational would say different.

Also, I dont agree with that Vegas line either. I say 3.5 at the most, just for home field.

is the losses on defense you've had, coupled with a new DC in Pruitt makes me think you will struggle early in the year.

The loses are overplayed IMO. At the end of the year, Moore and Mauger were starting at safety (in base 3-4) b/c Matthews was hurt off and on all year.

Swann was at CB and Wiggins was at the other CB spot. 3 of those 4 return for 2014 and I think we have a few options that will be upgrades to replace Wiggins as he was pretty undersized.

I would take Pruitt + experience on Defense (2014) vs. no experience + Grantham (2013) all day long.

Not to mention, Grantham and Pruitt both run base 3-4s, and commonly use a nickle package as well... this is a new D staff but I dont think the basics of the scheme are that much different... Devil will be in the details.

D apparently performed very well in 1st scrimmage.

Aug 12, 2014, 1:39 PM [ in reply to Re: Seems fair, the only thing I would point out though ]

Interesting you feel your losses are overplayed but ours aren't....bit one sided philosophy, isn't it?

1) Boyd...though he was the starter for 3 years, Stoudt has been here that whole time, knowing and learning the same system to be the QB if the need arised. His completion percentage in the games he was in (though mostly garbage time and smaller games) was actually better than Boyd's, and if you actually watch tape, you'll notice Boyd's biggest advantage was mainly in his short yardage running capability and his deep ball...short ball and side routes, Boyd's tendency many times was to over or under throw (and honestly, if Boyd and Bryant had been on their game together last year, your team would have lost by much worse). Stoudt's biggest downfall is inexperience in big games....but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be capable, just means he's unproven. It has been stated by DS that Watson (#1 QB recruit from GA in 2014) is behind him and will play @ UGA...which he has been stated to already be at this point ahead of where Boyd was the same year....if Cole is being picked starter ahead of this kid, likely Stoudt's showing he could be as good if not potential to become better than even where Boyd was as well...keeping in mind, his dad was in fact an NFL QB as well, which has been working with him in practices off season. Don't confuse ability and skill vs proven experience...lack of experience didn't stop Winston nor Manziel from Heisman's, nor did it stop Winston from bringing the title to the ACC.

2) Bryant...As far as the Georgia game last year is concerned, Bryant hardly was much of a factor. Several passes thrown his way, Boyd either overthrew him (incomplete pass) or Bryant dropped it (incomplete pass)...I believe the only big catch he did in the game was the onside kick to seal the game (which anyone on the team could do). So yr vs yr, not much of a loss UGA should count as far as comparing teams last year vs this year.

3) Watkins...this is likely the biggest loss on the team. Skill was obvious, the fact he was the guy that countered the TD run by Gurley could be a factor....unless Clemson does get a running game themselves. Won't know that until game day. As far as ability though, again...I've said this a hundred times, and each georgia fan likes to ignore it....Charone Peake. Out of high school (the same year as Sammy), he was ranked higher than Sammy as the #2 receiver. That being said, that'd make him a vetern player that also has been in the system. If he gets healthy and has a breakout year with Sammy and Nuk now gone (which let's be honest, they WERE Boyd's favorite go to guys he'd throw into double coverage at not checking his other players), he could easily be a deep ball threat like Watkins was, just wasn't seen with Boyd having 2 easy 1st round NFL go-to's in 2012 and Peake being injured all year last year. Just a point to think about...

Overplayed...aka...not really true. We are not replacing 3 starters in the secondary like I keep reading. Only 1.

Clemson replacing the vast majority of your offense, Boyd, Watkins, Bryant, and McDowell is NOT debatable.

That isnt to say your offense cant be good next year, I just think it is going to be hard on them week 1 in Athens with the minimal game-time experience they have.

Re: Seems fair, the only thing I would point out though


Aug 12, 2014, 3:44 PM

I thinkthat in my opinion is where you are not quite looking at the reality...minimal game experience is understating...

http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/511213/charone-peake

3 yrs...freshman yr averaged 17.8 yrds per carry in only 4 carries...2012, stats jumped in carries...25 for 172 yds, 6.9 yds per carry, 2 TDs..obviously last year down due to injury, but in the GA game alone...5 receptions for 56 yards, 11.6 per carry...

http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/546644/mike-williams

2nd year....but last year alone (with Sammy and Bryant being the go-to's), averaged 15.8 yards per carry, 20 receptions for 316 yards, 3 TD's..and likely you don't know him because he wasn't in the GA game nor the OH State game, but did have 2 receptions against Fl State.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/511206/adam-humphries
3 yrs...last year averaged 11.8 yards per carry

Not counting the tight ends, one of which scored the winning score last year....

The RB side I can agree has more lack of experience (which was an issue since Ellington left actually), but DJ Howard, Brooks, and CJ Davidson all 3 have been in the system at least 2 years and have game experience...Zac Brooks averaged 6.7 yards per carry against GA last year rushing, plus had a 31 yard reception TD in the game as well.

Aug 12, 2014, 12:05 PM [ in reply to Re: To sum up the in-depth analysis from most UGA fans... ]

I think you guys are believing too much in Pruitt and you're a little too down on Grantham. Pruitt looks like some sort of magician because he was the DC on FSU's national championship team, but FSU was already an elite defense the year before.

In fact, FSU's defense gave up 12.1 ppg and 283.2 YPG in 2013, while they gave up 14.7 ppg and 254.1 YPG in 2012. They were just as elite in 2011, when they gave up 15.1 ppg and 275 YPG. FSU really started improving when Mark Stoops arrived in 2010, a year in which they stepped back in from out of the wilderness (and beat South Carolina pretty easily in the Peach Bowl).

Really the only big improvement under Pruitt came against Clemson. Clemson had 426 yards against Stoops's defense in 2012, but it had only 326 in 2013. If Pruitt chops 100 yards off of the total yards Clemson gained against UGa in 2013, you'd be down in the 350 yard range where a team will need help from turnovers to score many points.

cole is better than Boyd....

Boulware is better than Shuey....

we lost 95% of our offensive production but we'll be better.....

our defense is the nation's best never mind they gave up 39 ppg to any opponent with a pulse.

most of the tigernation still believes Uga's secondary will start 2 freshman and walk-on safety Connor Norman.

after coaching 3 straight national title defenses Pruitt won't make the slightest difference as Ga's DC.

that there's some "huge" gap in talent between UGA and FSU.

Not really


Aug 12, 2014, 11:43 AM

I do think it's true that UGa doesn't have what FSU had on defense. The talent gap isn't "huge," but you don't go from being as mistake prone and slow as you were last year to suddenly being a top defense this year because of a new DC. That's simultaneously giving Pruitt and Grantham too much credit.

I think UGa's front seven should be slightly improved with another year of experience for their LBs, but the two guys everyone is talking about (Wilson and Herrerra) really didn't impress me last year. I thought UGa's LBs looked slow. Meanwhile, UGa's secondary is in an even worse mess than it was last year, and it suddenly isn't very talented either after losing some of its top players.

By contrast, FSU had one of the top defenses in the country before Pruitt was brought in as a fairly unknown assistant to replace Mark Stoops. FSU also had elite talent in the secondary before Pruitt got there.

our secondary consisted of two true freshmen and a walk-on safety (our slow white boy Connor Norman)and you think we'll be worse this season?

Who do you return from your secondary?


Aug 12, 2014, 12:30 PM

Who was expected to be a starter in the secondary for you this year? The problem is that you were relying on some of the guys you lost for this year, so it's not like you're in much of a different situation than you were in last year. Yes, I think you'll be worse than you were even last year.

According to this article, your secondary is still very up in the air outside of Swann. Swann, by the way, had already started for a year before last season, and he didn't look particularly good. The other corner spot is being battled for by a banged up JUCO transfer and a guy who was a RB for you last year. At safety you lost two guys who were expected to start, even though Mauger and Moore have some experience.

1) No, you'll have Peake if he returns healthy and better than ever, who is faster than Watkins...fact:
http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20120806/PC20/120809407

2) Byant's only catch in the UGA game was the on-side kick at the end...every other one, Boy'd either overthrew him or he dropped it...so wasn't a factor in the game.

3) Whether Stoudt has as a running threat capability (being heavier now) or not is not known....but if he doesn't, I am quite sure there is a #1 rated GA QB sitting right behind him that was known as a dual threat QB that has been stated that will be in the game...butthen again, all Clemson needs is an improved and better running game in the RB's and it counters needing a run threat QB in short yardage.

At the end of 2013, Moore and Mauger were starting at Safety (both started 7 games last year) and Swann at 1 CB position.

I think all 3 of them will start 2014 unless one of the safeties is beaten out by better talent. The other CB spot will be filled by 1 of:

Sheldon Dawson
Fenteng (JUCO)
Devin Bowman
Malkom Parrish
Aaron Davis (although working at safety as well right now)
Kennar Johnson
Rico Johnson

I thought for sure it would be Reggie Wilkerson b/c he was the likely starter at CB last year before he tore an ACL but he was moved to safety.

Other guys working at Safety:
Tramel Terry
Domnick Sanders
Wilkerson
Davis
JJ Green (likely starer at nickle back)

Pruitt doesnt have the starting lineup yet b.c camp/fall practice isnt close to complete. That doesnt mean we dont have a quite a few talented guys fighting for the starting positions. As you can see...no real lack of depth in the DB group which I keep reading...just not true.

Pretty much all southern teams recruit the same players,if you are going to say that about us then the same can be said about your team as well can it not? And as far as the slow comment Grantham had the whole defense last spring and summer put on weight and it slowed the defense down. Some of you are giving Grantham too much credit, during the LSU game in the second quarter the announcers kept saying the defense isn't getting lined up before the snap. That right there should tell you something. Grantham was disorganized in his play calling. Actually on the secondary we should be alittle better this year for the simple reason of actually just having a coach back there to teach them, because evidently Scott Lakatos was having health issues last year and nobody knew outside of the team. And Pruitt is trying to get the speed guys back there for the secondary. Grantham also didn't like substituting the starters because he didn't trust the backups for some reason! That's how you get better is by playing backups!

osu was 5th in the nation in total yards per game


Aug 12, 2014, 1:01 PM [ in reply to Re: Forgot a few more ... ]

And averaged 45.5 yards per game.

Msu which was one of the top d's in the country last year allowed 24? Points.

So Clemson was clearly not as good as one of the best defenses last year but it is not outrageous to argue they were strong against osu.

OSU averaged over 7 yards per carry coming into the orange bowl (got 6.8 per carry against MSU) we held them to 4 yards per carry. With over 100 penalty yards against us and 2 of those points directly coming from a safety it gets harder an harder for a hater to live in Lala land.

-UGA's defense was VERY young last year - 2 returning starters and without getting into a lot of detail, there were a lot of problems with the Defensive staff.

-We return pretty much everyone on offense minus Murray. Agree Murray could hurt to some extent but like Stoudt, Mason has a lot of system knowledge and I think CMR/Bobo will call plays that work for Mason's style of game. O-line should be solid, WRs have a lot of exp, and one of the best RB groups in the nation for Mason to lean on.

-Home field advantage...make fun of Sanford all you want, but it gets plenty loud and will have an affect on Stoudt if the game is close and Clemson gets in obvious passing downs. (LSU v UGA last year was painful to the ears...it can get loud for big games). This will help Mason a good bit as well, much more concerned about our next game in Columbia for Mason that at home in Athens. A lot more pressure on Stoudt than Mason IMO.

-Clemson's Defense likely has an advantage over the UGA defense on paper, but when you guys faced solid offenses last year, it wasnt like you were shutting anyone down like a dominating Bama defense. Your 2014 defense will certainly have the chance to prove themselves early. However, I dont see your D completely shutting us down. Our O-Line will be very solid and our running game is too good IMO.

-I dont really have a clue what to expect from Clemson's offense. Stoudt's footage shows a QB with talent but at times, wasnt accurate (probably from earlier in his career). Will your OL be able to hold off our 7? Will your RBs and WRs have some clear leaders step up to help Stoudt on the road?

UGA has their own questions... Can our OL hold off Clemsons DL? Can Mason make the throws down field in obvious 3rd down passing situations? Can our secondary prevent big plays which Clemson is known for at times?

Should be a great game but I like the matchup for UGA, esp since we are at home.

Ditto. UGA has a lot of talent, size, and speed as well on defense and especially in the front 7...plus we have the home field advantage.

Think many are sleeping on our defense...

We seen Clemson defense last year did we not? So how do figure we won't know what hit us? Bobo will have a general idea about the Clemson defense this year.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think that's pretty fair


Aug 12, 2014, 12:11 PM [ in reply to Re: Sounds about as bad as our fans' analysis*** ]

To me, the two biggest questions marks will be whether Stoudt and Clemson's young WRs can stay composed in their first big game on the road, and whether Clemson's front 7 can do a better job of containing Gurley.

Some of Clemson's question marks on offense may be magnified by playing on the road, which will help what I think is an even more suspect UGa defense. I know you guys think you'll be better because you return so many of your DL and LBs, but what about the huge holes and the lack of talent and experience in the secondary? Your secondary is probably helped by playing at home, but Pruitt will need to find a way to get pressure if he wants to protect them, and your DL hasn't shown signs of being able to get to the QB without a blitz being called.

I wish I knew why you tiger fans were so down on Sanford. You say it's quiet, but most articles you see over the last couple of years puts UGA as one of the best stadiums to play at, some ahead of Clemson. I was at every home game last year, and trust me, LSU and USC were both feeling the noise, and they come from places that are known to be just as loud, if not louder than Clemson...
