Unexpected Loss for Georgia Football: Caleb Downs Picks Ohio State vs. Dawgs

This week has been the worst for Georgia Football in program history. Wait, what? My bad, that is Alabama. By now, you are undoubtedly familiar with the story: Caleb Downs made the last-minute decision to transfer to Ohio State rather than Georgia. It was assumed by all those involved in the prediction industry that Downs would undoubtedly end up at Georgia.

It is unfortunate from a Georgian standpoint, but it is in no way harmful. Although Downs would have been a fantastic addition to the Dawgs, Athens’ safety position does not urgently require more talent or depth. For the Dawgs, safety is one of the more talented positions. They are still 4 and 5 stars even though the majority of their skill is untapped. Kirby Smart is probably not having any sleepless nights over it.

The Ohio State offseason is off to a terrific start. Because of the personnel upgrades and coaching appointments, Ohio State is widely regarded as the favorite to win the national championship in the media. Vegas, though, continues to think the Dawgs are the favorites. I realize this is biassed, but the Dawgs are still the best team in the nation.

Fans of Alabama are ecstatic that Downs decided against joining the Dawgs. That shows you where the Alabama program is at the moment. They took to social media and mocked the Georgia program and Georgia fans. It also reveals the Alabama fans’ IQ. Fans of Alabama are making fun of Georgia for not acquiring one of their top players from the previous campaign. However, I suppose any win would be cause for celebration if you were having the kind of week Alabama is. I am beginning to feel sorry for the fans of Alabama.

I don’t blame Downs for attending the Buckeyes if the rumors circulating on social media are accurate. Some claim that by enrolling at Ohio State, Downs achieved a sizable financial gain. I wish Downs the best of luck, however I’m not sure if those stories are accurate. If that’s the case, I have no reason to blame him. According to some stories, Downs was spotted in Athens, and in order for Georgia to grant him eligibility to play for the Dawgs and enroll at UGA, a lot of red tape had to be removed.
