Summertime is hype time when it comes to college football.
And the way Pat Dooley of The Gainesville Sun sees it, Georgia and Florida are getting a little too much hype as we head toward Fall.
On the Bulldogs: “Georgia will be very good, no doubt, but a lot of the pre-season hype is based on finally beating Florida, hammering Auburn and beating a mediocre Hawaii team.” (He could have added, “beating Florida with a banged-up Tim Tebow.)
As for the Gators: “This is still a defense that was embarrassed by Georgia and Michigan.”
Now, there are two schools over in the SEC West that Dooley feels are being overlooked…
LSU: “So there are questions at quarterback for Les Miles and his team. But look at it this way — was LSU’s quarterback play great last season when it won the national title?”
Mississippi State: “Hey, we don’t know how Sly Croom won eight games last year either. But he did and that should count for something, expecially with nine starters back on a pretty strong defense.”
