Although the Georgia Bulldogs remain atop the college football world, it wasn’t easy. The Auburn Tigers took them to the wire Saturday before the Bulldogs came out on top, 27-20.
It wasn’t an impressive victory, as the Tigers gashed the Bulldogs for more than 200 yards rushing.
Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt says the Bulldogs are a shell of what they’ve been in recent years.
“This Georgia team is not Georgia as we know them. It’s not. The verdict is in, at least in that regard,” Klatt said Monday on The Joel Klatt Show. “That doesn’t mean they’re not good. And it doesn’t mean they’re not going to win the SEC and be in the playoff. But this is clearly not the same Georgia of what we’re used to over the last two, three, and four years but, certainly, the last two when they’ve been to back-to-back national championships.”
Klatt also thinks that Georgia is no longer as dominant as it used to be.
“I get it that they’re wearing the same uniforms. I get it,” Klatt said. “They’ve got the same coach and I get it that they’ve got the same star in Brock Bowers. But the heart and soul of what Georgia was over the last two years was a dominant team in the run game at the line of scrimmage and on defense. That’s not the case anymore, at least not right now.”
This is not the news that most Bulldog fans want to hear, but we are only a month into the season, so all of this can change.
