Georgia football has rare generational talent to bring home SEC title and more

Georgia football has been the No.1 team in the country for eight straight weeks after Alabama fell to Texas A&M, but they’ve been the most dominant team in college football since upsetting Clemson in Week 1 of the season.

The Dawgs have a team full of generational-type talent on both sides of the ball that aren’t selfish or prima donnas. Instead, they had players come back for their senior year to do something special, and so far, they’ve done just that.

Georgia wants to win it all so bad that they’ve raised the bar and proven what focus does for a program with this caliber roster.

While they have generational-type talent, the Dawgs also have had guys work their tails off, step up in places depleted by injuries, and overcome every bit of adversity that stepped in their way.

Georgia football has a special team that could mirror two of the most recent great SEC teams.

The Dawgs have a former walk-on at quarterback that leads the SEC in quarterback rating, and their two leading wide receivers are both freshmen. At the same time, the highly-touted players have been key contributors, the guys no one expected to have also been keys in being undefeated.

SEC Network’s Peter Burns mentioned the Dawgs on his radio show “SEC This Morning” and made a good point about this team.

"I don’t think this game is going to end up being close. I think we want it to be close, I think Alabama is a really good team I just think Georgia is generationally good,” Peter Burns said on SEC This Morning. “This is a team that is equally as good as 2020 Alabama, might be even better than the 2019 LSU team. It’s just that we are not seeing it through this offensive lense — we’re seeing it defensively.”"

Burns is correct. While the 2020 Alabama and 2019 LSU squads were offensive powerhouses, Georgia is doing the defensive version of that, and the Tide hasn’t seen a defense like this all year.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban will have his guys ready, but something about this Georgia team screams champion. This Saturday could be Georgia’s opportunity to beat Alabama and prove they are worthy of winning too.

This defense has multiple guys that could potentially go in the first round of the NFL Draft, but the most important thing is they play as a team. That ability is what made LSU and Alabama so good. Those years they ran through everyone in their path. It was one unit doing it, not just one playmaker.

Joe Burrow was quite the force, but he had a running back and wide receivers around him that did their job too.

The Dawgs’ defense is just like this, but in all honesty, the whole team is. That side of the ball has elite talent playing at every position, and all 11 are stars, not just one or two of them. When head coach Kirby Smart said after the Tech game, “The strength of our team is our team,” he meant it.

Georgia will win it all because of this defense because they are better than any other unit in the country. The Dawgs need to push the throttle down on Saturday because if they do and get a jump on this Alabama team, there won’t be any relaxing this time around. If that means hanging 50 on the Tide, the Dawgs will.

We’ve got to agree with Burns on this subject, there is a talent on that defense you don’t see often, and while we all think this game will be close, it won’t. Georgia’s defense gets revenge on Alabama, especially with Jordan Davis up front, Nakobe Dean being the field general, and that secondary playing with a vengeance.

It’s Georgia’s time. All season experts continued to say, “this opponent could challenge the Dawgs,” week after week, and the Dawgs bullied opponents into submission and made most of them quit. Smart knows what it takes to beat Alabama, and he has the squad to do it.

Smart is winning in an old school way while his offense is slowly getting healthy and more explosive. He is bringing back the whole defense wins championships motto because, in 2021, that will be the case.

The perfect storm is brewing for the Dawgs to win it all, and as wild as this football season has been, there is no other outcome that would make more sense than Georgia breaking a six-game losing streak to the Tide and going on to win its first national championship in 41 years.

Georgia has beaten 11 of the 12 teams by at least 17 points, which will continue on Saturday. The Dawgs are so disciplined and strategic in the way they play, it’s their time to shine, and the Tide will just have to hold on to their horses and ride it out.
