I don't understand

What I've said about Clemson that was moronic. I've basically predicted them to blow out everyone they've played this year with the exception of Georgia. There defense hasn't given up as many points as I've predicted but my high scores for opposing teams has been based off other teams playing against back ups and getting garbage time scores against Clemson. If I wanted to downplay Clem's win against Georgia I would talk about uga starting 4 true freshman that night and the suspensions of two their better players in the secondary, but I haven't because I don't think it would've made a difference. And if I'm wrong for thinking that Carolina would've won had shaw not fumbled when we were driving to take the lead then so be it. Football is a game of momentum and we were on our way to getting some in Athens until the fumble. Would we have won, we will never know but I do think it was more likely. I don't see where I've tried to downplay anything for anyone. Do I think a healthy Georgia takes care of mizzou, yes I do. I know injuries are a part of the game but to say that Georgia has the depth to not miss a beat is just wrong in my opinion. No way the two back up running backs could replace Gurley and marshall. No way the back up receivers could replace the top 3 receivers on the team. That's not to say the back ups aren't talented but it would be hard for anyone, including Alabama and Oregon to replace something like that. That's my opinion and probably %75 of the world would agree with me. Carolina couldn't survive that. That would be the equivalent of Clem losing Watkins, Tay, and humphries( I guess, just name a third one), hot rod, and whoever the other back is. Now tell me that there wouldn't be a drop off in production. 

As for mizzou, hell yeah it's an impressive win. Any time anyone wins on the road it's impressive, especially somewhere like Athens. But mizzou is gonna have a drop off at quarterback with franklin out, how significant, no one knows. But the back up didn't win the game for them yesterday. Mizzou's last two scores were a td pass from a wide receiver on a truck play and a little short drive after Georgia turned it over deep in their own territory. To be perfectly honest, I really didn't see us beating mizzou until Franklin went down but I feel a little better about it now. It's a pretty daunting task to ask a team to go on the road 3 consecutive weeks and win all 3, doesn't really matter who you are playing.
