College Football Will Need Its Own Dog Killer Come September

Author: admin

It is not too early to look into the 2008 season. My god we are almost into February. LSU beating Ohio State for the National Championship is now in the past. What can we expect for next year will fill sports magazines, blogs, and newspapers across the country until the opening kickoff. One thing is for sure, The Georgia Bulldogs are the biggest threat to win the National Title that NCAA history has ever seen. Here is why.

1. Georgia loses no significant talent. USC, LSU and Ohio State do. The Georgia Bulldogs return all but 5 starters from 2007. The Bulldogs only gap comes on defense where a pass-rusher must be found to replace Marcus Howard. Not too much of a worry if you ask me.

2. College Football Recruiting, Recruiting, Recruiting. Georgia has possibly the best recruiting class for 2008. More talent will be brought to the team by players such as WR  A.J. Green | Summerville, SC| ,who have already committed to the Bulldogs.   

“We’re a hot team right now,’” said recruiting coordinator Rodney Garner. “You have what we have been doing on the field [seven straight wins] and the black jerseys and the things around the program … we’ve been a hot team.”  He is not bluffing, the 2008 recruiting line-up they have going on is incredible.

3. With recruiting and returning, experienced players, comes great depth. Heisman candidate (Tail Back) Knowshon Moreno, Caleb King and “ice” Matt Stafford only to name a few will be able, without a doubt, resume the leadership roles like the 2007 season where they lead their team to just falling short by one game of playing Ohio State.

4. Georgia is hungry. Every single player believed (after going 10-2 this season)that they should have played Ohio State in the BCS game. It is in every Bulldogs dish; favoritism and Television networks looking for higher ratings may have played a role in USC being selected. The only way to fix this is to come out next season and rip the pants off of every team they play.

5. The difficult schedule is the only stumbling block left for Georgia. Arizona State posses the first great road threat of the season. Consecutive games against LSU and Florida will definitely not reduce stress. Execution will be key. If Georgia can execute the plays when they are needed, Georgia will be your 2008-2009 National Champions.

Concluding that any other team but the Bulldogs winning next year’s BCS game, would be like saying Larry Coker should be re-hired at Miami.  Idiotic!

    Georgia was on my radar in pre-season, and they certainly turned some heads by the way the finished. They play in a tough conference, but I think you might be right about next year. A great football team on the rise. I am especially looking forward to seeing what Moreno can do with a few more carries. That guy is going to be something else…

    Odds are in favor for Moreno winning the Heisman.

    I too think that the ‘Dogs will be a contender in ’08. However, if you think that LSU and the ‘Gators are willing to relinquish their hopes for ’08 think again. Ask LSU if the road is steep, ask Florida from the year before. The SEC is brutal and the ‘Dogs are capable but shouldn’t fall for the hype too early!

    On paper Georgia should win the SEC, but unfortunatley sometimes it doesn’t work that way. LSU and Florida will have huge, and I mean huge task at hand to contain the Bulldogs. I do not however, see it happening. It is only a week after the BCS game but I optimistically see Georgia in the BCS Title game next year.

    Georgia will be very good, but so will some others. Georgia also has to go to Auburn among others. Moreno is very good but Tebow will be back and so will Harvin.If Georgia wins 12 games, they will deserve to be #1, if they win the last one.

    I have two issues with this article. First it says “The Georgia Bulldogs are the biggest threat to win the National Title that NCAA history has ever seen.” Really? A team that didn’t even go to their own conference championship game is the biggest threat to win it all that the NCAA has ever seen. Come on we only have to go back a couple of years for a USC team that won the championship in 04 and brought back Leinart, Bush and Lendale White and most of the team from the year before. That team seemed much more of a lock than this Georgia team. Georgia has a nice team and played well during the second half of the season but they certainly arent the clear favorite come 08.

    Second, point #4 makes no sense. How did they get slighted from the championship game? How could they say they deserved to be in the title game over LSU? LSU won their own conference and beat the team that spanked Georgia. And last time I checked USC didn’t play for the title so I am still confused on this point and besides that SC won their conference. Georgia was the third place team from their own conference and had no right to play for the BCS title.

    First, who does Georgia lose? No one. Who does USC and LSU lose? A lot of stand out talent.

    Second. Who does Georgia gain. A lot of talent. Who does USC, LSU, and Ohio State gain, some talent.

    Number 4, is how they feel, not what happened. Come on Glenn. Fumbled.org is not the only place that believes Georgia is next years biggest threat.
