i like how you conveniently left out that they have an incredible offensive line and a pair of nfl-caliber running backs.
Exactly.... Their oline is great
The key is both great RB's AND a great OL. That's been Bama's recipe under Saban, and Kirby is copying it at Georgia.
Georgia has Holyfield/Swift/White/Cook at RB next year. They're stacked. Miami will also be stacked with Homer/Dallas/Lingard.
But Georgia also has 6 Top 100 OL recruits in 2017 & 2018. Miami has 1 in the Top 200. That's the difference.
Yeah he's definitely mirroring Saban, but lets not pretend like its Kirby's guys who are shining.
Every single starter on both sides of the ball (except the QB, RG and RT) was a Richt recruit. 13 seniors (including the back up RB)
I hear you - but Kirby has Richt's guys in the NC game. Richt could never do that with his own guys over 15 recruiting classes at Georgia. Richt's best year was his 2nd year, when he wasn't playing "his guys".
Kirby had the
#3 recruiting class last year, and has the
#1 class this year. Richt only had a Top 5 class twice in 15 years.
On the field and in recruiting, Kirby is moving the needle from really good to great.
