You should have read all of my post. I said that the opener vs. Oklahoma State will be key. If the Dawgs go out there and blow them out, I absolutely could see that giving this team the confidence they need to knock off the Florida’s of the world. Momentum is a big thing in college football. And look at it this way: the Dawgs have a bye week prior to playing Florida this year. So let’s say they are 5-2 or 6-1 at that point( which they probably will be). With an extra week to prepare and an extra week to get his team motivated( especially after getting blasted 49-10 last year), I can most definately see Richt getting his troops fired up for a situation like, hell any coach worth their weight in salt would relise that opportunity.

If I were Coach Richt I say something like: ” Guys we didn’t show up in last year’s game. We didn’t lose that game because Florida was better, we lost it because we beat ourselves. This year Florida is the better team in almost every aspect. But we’re gonna play hang with them, we’re gonna hit them, and we’re going to make them earn everything they get. If we do that, we can keep it close, and if we can keep it close, we can find a way to win”. That game is going to be a war this year even if Florida wins, mark my words.
