Beating UGA: It has been done before

Not sure we have the horses on defense but "on any given Saturday". Look what happened last weekend!
yeah - to hell with Georgia. But- every team mentioned...we had more talent than we currently do....and every GA team mentioned.....they had less talent than they currently do. ALso they have the best staff (IMO) they've ever had collectively. We have zero chance to win this football game. We aren't a good team...and Smart definitely has taken the "process" philosohpy from Saban and it works. They don't overlook people/teams. They may play badly sometimes against game opponents with good talent....maybe a type of team with a bunch of 23-24 year olds ala APP St this past weekend and give them a scare....but we are going into a gun fight holding a switchblade.
If Marshall can go to ND and App st go to A&M and win, then I we can too
ND and A&M ain't UGA. UGA would destroy Marshall and App State. As someone stated above, Kirby has installed "the process" in Athens. They don't practice to beat any given team, they practice to beat every team. Until we adopt that mindset the best we can really hope for is 8 or 9 win seasons and hoping to be in the top 3 in the East.
We don't have an identity, so I don't see it happening this time around. Not only do we not have an overall identity, we don't have an offensive identity. Arkansas won our game largely because they know what they can do as a team and they came and did that...over and over and over again. We just seem to try a little of this, a little of that, some of this over here, etc. Sometimes, we find something that seems to be working and instead of just keeping it going, we decide to mix it up and do something that doesn't work.
This UGA team is playing like the new Bama. You're not gonna catch them sleeping. Even though they it's a certainty that they'll win, they're preparing as if they could lose.
And, yes, as our coach has accurately noted in the past, they've got 5* players all over the place.
Having said all that...anything can happen! But not this time. But it can.

It looks like this is the biggest difference between UGA now and before Kirby showed up. Richt always managed a "wtf" game every season where the team lost to an inferior opponent because they didn't take the game seriously. The only time that has happened under Kirby was losing to us in 2019 and I'm sure he remembers that game and doesn't let any of the team forget it. You can bet he's made them watch that game this week.

I would say so. Since they lost to us in 2019, they have 4 losses: #1 Bama (eventual champion), #2 Bama, #2 LSU (eventual champion), #8 UF.
Garbage time may bring it back down under the spread though.
I miss the days when we would play them very early... like first game early. We could always count on them looking sluggish. We were too, but it made for a good game. And more than often, they'd have some players entering the season suspended... good times.
I don't think we have ever beaten them when they were ranked number 1 in the polls, have we? Too stout and no d player like Kinlaw. He turned the tide for us on that day.
I think in that loss to UF they had their top 2 qbs injured as well.
