Kinda of hard to boast about "toughness, tough love, fight, Brotherhood" every 15 minutes when you have a QB who can't/won't/isn't allowed to run to pick up a first down, have a star WR who missed basically the entire year with what now is known as the worst non-surgical hammy in human history, and seems like every unit on the team is dealing with some range of injuries (playing hurt or sitting out).

It is shear terror every week waiting for the injury/participation report before every week.

Don't know who got hurt in practice, hurt during warm ups, possible upset tummy.

Interested in folks thoughts on the positives/negatives of having Wilson with us through the playoffs.

Positive to me is familiarity and consistency with everyone and everything.

Negative to me is in his mind is he already gone? It’s a struggle to do one job in this instance let alone two.

Does the rest of the staff step in/up especially if Frye is going to be the new OC as rumored?

And it nearly always includes someone we can't afford to lose too lol...

Nothing like waking up on gameday all fired up only to find out we are missing our entire RB room and our best WR. Then like a shoulder shrug emoji on 2 defensive players.

I will kiss the ground when I never have to hear about CJ running or not running as an active player again. I swear to God it's the single-most overwrought, overblown thing I can remember since following OSU as a child.

Could it help? Sure, but CJ is not sudden nor quick enough to be an effective runner unless he has a head start and can build up speed. I can think of a half dozen issues that don't involve him not running that effect the team more. Injuries, lack of offensive identity, drops, passes slightly overthrown or thrown flatly, RBs bouncing their runs, Stover's run blocking, poor tackling by CBs, overzealous run defense, DL rotation, pass rush, blitzes not getting home, CBs not playing the ball.

They lost to Michigan because of defensive woes. That said, a secondary reason was because he wasn't quite up to his usual absurd self as a pure passer. They didn't need his feet, they needed the #1 pick accuracy and decision making. It was a team loss though, but his lack of scrambles was not where he needs to be better.

The most absurd part about the "why doesn't the stiff hipped, cheat code accuracy passer pull it down for more 2-5 yd rushes and collision" bloviations is the intentional misrepresentation of how Fields and Barrett were treated by these same personalities.

Fields is the most talented QB since Lamar, and so much more well rounded.
His scrambling was derided much like CJ until very late in his final season.

Then there's JT Barrett, who received more anger from some "fans" than the wolverines he slayed.

The "LSU passed for 500 yards" thing is a mirage. It was 35-10 at halftime. The game was essentially over. Georgia was on cruise control in the second half, when LSU piled up most of those yards, and the Tigers never threatened them despite scoring 20 points that half. The closest LSU ever got was 18 points.

The 2014 comparisons don't add up, either. Zeke rushed for over 200 yards in the CCG and both playoff games. Does anyone think this team is going to come close to that versus Georgia? UGa led the nation in rush yards allowed per game. They also led in red zone scoring defense.

I'm sure I'll be excited for the game as kickoff approaches, but objectively I'm hoping not to get run out of ATL by "SEC" chants in the 3rd quarter.

Yea, UGA held Tennessee to under 200 yards passing and Miss State was 29/52 for 261 yards. Their pass D is good.
