Strange year even by Dawg standards. A minor dud, a major dud, the requisite injuries, and 6-7 spectacular performances.

Georgia lost to South Carolina, lost badly to Florida, lost the best running back in college football midway through the season, lost the SEC East to a team it beat by 34 points on the road ... and finished fifth in the F/+ rankings. And I can totally justify it. Play for play, drive for drive, the Dawgs' brilliant moments outnumbered their mediocre ones. It's just that quite a few of those mediocre moments happened on two specific Saturdays in Jacksonville and Columbia East. Spread out those bad moments, and you go 12-1. Or better.
Regardless, the Dawgs finished the season by throughly demolishing a Louisville team that was 16th before the game and 22nd after it. And Nick Chubb got a million more yards. There are worse ways to end what was either an encouraging season, a thoroughly disappointing season, or both.
