Jolly Dwarfs
Listen Jolly Dwarfs, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 142.96 points through Week 12, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 113.12 we needed for this past week's win!
Let’s go UGA
Our starting QB tossed two interceptions and just one touchdown? We might need to play Monday-morning quarterback here. Did Jacoby Brissett seem flustered back there in the pocket, or were the Titans just that good against the pass? What do you think, Let’s go UGA... do we continue rolling with him?
