Revived Rebels????

The reports from practice all this week have shown that the Rebels are a new team. There is more emotion being showed this week than the previous four combined. I am not buying this for one moment as a chance that we will win, because I do not think we will. We are just out matched on both sides of the ball. This is Georgia we are talking about, a program that is constantly in the top 15 each year.

Coach O also stated two things in his press conference today.

1) Traxler is back on the injured list and will not play. That means that Wicker will have to move from his normal spot on the line and another back up will start for the Rebels.

2) His Quote: "Our plan was to have Peria and the player I can't mention who didn't qualify and Patrick as the centerpiece of our defense, but it didn't work out that way. We are doing the best we can and will continue to."

My response to the above:
We have known for the past 2 weeks that Peria was hurt and the Powe was not going to get into school. Surely we have been working on something else since before this week as to how our defense is going to adjust without the above names. But based on the Wake Forrest game, I am not so sure that we have been adjusting our defense.

Also why has it taken 4 weeks into the season for the team to step up and show some emotion. I believe they picked the wrong week to do it.
