Well Georgia learned while preparing during the couple of weeks leading up to the Sugar Bowl about the need for excellent running so that it could beat Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl. It has learned well. The rest of the SEC, take notes because it is speed not size that win games. Congrats to Georgia for winning the Sugar Bowl.

Welcome to the winter college basketball season, my favorite college sports season.
You really don’t know much about SEC football, do you? When I told hubby before last night’s game what you said about SEC and speed, he guffawed. And laughed and laughed. He said, Georgia’s in the top 2 fastest teams in college football this year. You don’t get faster in a few weeks. You don’t win football games against a defensive line that is faster and stronger than your offensive line, especially when your secondary can match your receivers stride for stride. (makes me think of Antonio Langham and a “faster” Miami team a few years back) The defensive coach for Georgia has done an excellent job with that team. I thought they were much more disciplined last night than when I watched them early in the season. Early in the season, I thought they were all thugs and that they played as dirty as Miami of old.
Here’s a good article from ESPN about last night’s game. Take note of all the talk about speed and the SEC.
