QB? Michigan, by a lot.

I'm surprised at the line, I would have guessed even or UM by a bit.  I think however we all get overly influenced by the Last Game played. 


Some of us more than others.
I'm convinced mdot is 7 years old now.

As limited as Cade is, he's better than Georgia's 5'10 walk-on. He just is. 

JJ McCarthy however is light years better than any QB on either roster.

JT Daniels is, I think, pretty talented, beset with injuries at bad times, but was a 5 star recruit who started at USC as a freshman.

He's also 6'4" and has a strong arm and has looked quite good at times when healthy.  Not very mobile.

But if he doesn't play it doesn't matter.

He's more like 6'2 than 6'4, but not that it really matters- and he was not very good at USC, and wound up losing his job there, which is why he transferred. He isn't mobile at all. And he can't beat out a 5'10 walk-on, so like you said, it does not matter. 

I suspect perhaps a big part of his 5* ranking may have been playing at Mater Dei...a literal football factory in southern California that is loaded with 5*'s and 4*'s every single class. Easy to shine when your entire roster is future P5 players with multiple of those being other 5* and 4* guys. Talent he was playing with at Mater Dei is ridiculous.

He lost his job at USC because of an ACL tear and then surgery.  He got hurt again this season and Bennett played well enough.

It's not as if he got beat out, he started the first game of his second season and the first game this year.  I think he's pretty talented.  Bennett adds mobility, at times, and with their defense seemed to be all they needed.  

I have been concerned about UGA's run blocking all season.  Their backs are fine, they just can't find holes very often.  Stuff the run and make Bennett beat you.

This will be funny. 

Some folks will hype Michigan, talk down UGA. Then if UGA covers, they'll tell us, "no, no, this team is still super duper, it's just all on the coach. Bad coach bad."

(Even if I have negligible thoughts about Kirby and how he game plans in places, that team has talent out the yin-yang and is gonna be pissed the hell off. I'd love for Michigan to romp, but I'd be loathe to predict it)

These don't mean much of course, but just to have them.  Different schedules.  UGA beat three barely ranked teams.  Michigan has the impressive win over OSU.

people not giving Michigan enough credit for their Iowa win. I thought Michigan would win, but not like that. I did not think they were going to blow them out by almost 40 points.

Iowa is offensively challenged putting it politely, but they have had maybe the best special teams unit in the country and their defense is good- and it's a defense that hadn't given up 40 points in a game in 6+ years. They hadn't given up more than 28 in like 36 games or something like that. Their defense got 42 dropped on them and Michigan ran them out of the stadium. Their special teams had a punt blocked by Michigan and they got absolutely nothing from their return game- which they had been getting gains on all year.

Michigan has excellent special teams. They have a great kicker, excellent punter, excellent return man in Henning and their coverage units are top notch.

I'm learning that UM sucks ass for money, their HC is an idiot, and their starting QB is a bum.....until they're playing a top 5 SEC team.
Brilliant.

who said there was an argument? Georgia's 5-foot-10 walk-on QB is- well...not very good. And as limited as Cade McNamara is- he's better than him. There is no argument, it's just a fact.

Not sure what you mean on that first part, Jim has high-levels of weirdo/idiot savant-it's in his DNA, and McNamara isn't a bum- he's just very limited and average and they need to switch to JJ McCarthy ASAP if they ever want to really contend with the Bama's and Ohio State's. Kid has #1 overall NFL draft pick ability.
