5 Toughest Things About Being A Georgia Football Fan

UGA has an extremely talented team this season. However, in previous seasons, Richt has suspended some of his best players for reasons that other schools would probably not punish. Fans have to worry that their favorite players could get in trouble for minor reasons, that may result in major punishments.

No matter their record, Florida always plays Georgia tough in Jacksonville. Expect the Gators to be an extremely tough test for the Bulldogs.

The SEC schedule is relentless. To make things worse, UGA takes on Auburn it two weeks. To make the test even more daunting, they will have to get over the terrible memories of Auburn doing the near impossible last season. If they have any hopes of a playoff spot, they must get past a top-five Auburn team and the nightmare that occurred last season.

Arguably the best player in college football, the Bulldogs have been without their star running back for the past two weeks. The return of Gurley is uncertain and the Bulldogs must move forward without him. Nick Chubb has been great in the two games that Gurley has missed, averaging 172 yards per game. However, if UGA has National Championship aspirations, they will need their Heisman Candidate to return to the field.

Every year, optimistic UGA fans get excited as their team rises up the rankings and into National Championship consideration. However, as soon as these dreams start to become realistic, UGA stumbles at one of the last hurdles. UGA is developing a reputation as a good, but not great team. In order to shake this label, they need to win out and book a place in the first installment of the College Football Playoff. Could this be the year?
