FROM THE FIELD
BY GREG POOLE
GEORGIA - 55, VANDERBILT - 0
A case of the flu kept me off the field for the Vanderbilt
game. The fact that I was not there and how UGA
dismantled Vandy leaves little for me to analyze. Sure there
were mistakes and tackling was an issue at times, but when
your team waxes a conference opponent 55-0, it has been
a good day.
I had almost forgotten how nice it is to have replays
served up after every play, but no matter how great your
entertainment system, the in-stadium experience remains
unchallenged. Of course, my usual vantage point is the
sideline, providing glimpses and sounds of the game that
TV can never capture.
Vandy has trouble fielding a competitive SEC team,
but that does not mean its players do not play hard.
They kept coming at the Dawgs on both sides of the ball
until they finally ran out of gas in the fourth quarter. The
Commodores do not have the talent to compete with the
Georgias of the world, but they never quit. Getting beat is
not the same as giving up.
Next up is Florida, who lost to LSU two Saturdays ago,
but the Gators will be ready for Georgia. They will be
hyped and full of themselves, but it will not help. Florida
is a few recruiting classes away from being competitive
with the SEC’s top teams. That is not to say that Georgia is
invincible, but if both teams play close to their potential,
Georgia wins going away.
After Tennessee’s massive win over Bama, expect to
see the upstart Vols roll into Athens a week after Florida
with a legion of orange-clad fans, sending ticket prices
through the roof. The atmosphere will be electric. With
national hype and championship implications, Georgia vs.
Tennessee is the matchup that fans deserve.
These are the games that UGA hired Kirby to win.
Tennessee follows Florida, then Mississippi State and
Kentucky. It is going to be a fun run, but, for now, all
eyes and focus must remain on the Cocktail Party in
Jacksonville.
