We're about to enter Year 7 of Richt's tenure. From the very first SEC home game when Terrence Edwards dropped the game winner vs. South Carolina to last week's Chick-Fil-A Bowl, the Georgia Bulldogs have been absolutely plagued with game changing and season altering dropped passes.
The talent is there. Reggie Brown, Fred Gibson, Sean Bailey, Mohamed Massaquaoi, and Tony Wilson were all big time, elite recruits pursued by the best programs in college football. Something has to change here for the Dawgs to reach their ultimate potential as a program. Will it? Who knows.
The good news -- Sean Bailey returns next year. His performance in the SEC Championship game in 2005 was amazing. We only lose Mario Raley from this year's WR corp so experience shouldn't be an issue. Incoming recruits Israel Troupe and Walter Hill should help our cause.
Troupe has been described as a game breaker. However, he may have some tough decisions related to a pro baseball career vs. the Dawgs offer to play football. While Hill will probably need a redshirt year to grow into his body as either a TE or WR. Regardless, we have the bodies to overcome this issue.
