23. It's a good start to the season.

There were definitely moments of concern, but in retrospect I'm more confident now than during the game. We had Sony Michel and Elijah Holyfield still out, and over 50% of our freshmen on the field at various times. The offense is still being installed. And NCarolina is usually scoring 40pts per game, they're a good team that will challenge Clemson or maybe Fl st for ACC title.

Kicking is scary. I think our guy mr Ham is a walk on? Can't remember. Special teams has to be worked out for sure.

The big thing to me is seeing full play the whole game whether ahead or behind. The confidence and belief seems to be back. Eason did great, a very competent job for a true freshman. Months ago he was in high school. And another totally new guy Herrien? That guy played great.

Coach Smart is the real deal, not just in the sense of technical skill, he has an attention to detail that is refreshing. It will take some time but the improvement is for real.

Hehe ok Rocky Top: my mom is Vol so not only do i have to like Vols, but since like all moms she can see thru me it has to be real! To her credit, she becomes a full on dawg fan when UGA plays TN. Dawgs must crush them every year regardless.

GoDawgs!
