I think the bottom probably fell out this past season, but up until then academics have been steady. This year was the first time I can remember key starters missing time because of grades.
There are a lot of legitimate things to criticize Washington about, but we don't have to invent issues after the fact.

I believe (take that for what little it’s worth) the kids were fine in the classroom under Washington. Now anything could’ve happened between the clumsy way he was fired/resigned and Coach Brown was hired. It wouldn’t be surprising that a number of players were disillusioned and got behind in the books as a result. It’s easier for Brown to come in and kick them in the a$$ from jump than for him to let them continue to not live up to their full capabilities and responsibilities and then all of a sudden turn into robocoach on that a$$. He could very well be holding guys out who grade-wise are fully eligible but whose grades took a dip from last season. My guess is that within the next one to two reporting cycles we’ll have decent numbers again. Washington was fired after the semester had already ended. Coach Brown was hired prior to the semester beginning. Washington was slack and we all know it, under Washington we never knew who was coming back in the fall due to academics. Come on 39 Stop ✋ just Stop ✋

One thing I think I like is it looks like we're back to our QB (s) holding for FGs & XPs.
I like it that way as more of a threat on a fake and if something goes wrong.

That's what we did with Quick and it looks like Brick is the one now. I understand that there is some risk, but how many times have you seen a holder get hurt?

If Brick is our stater I wouldn’t take that chance but that's just me . I have seen holders get drilled before and it wasn't pretty . That's all I'm saying.

Sometimes it's not about options and only who you have confidence in. UGA did this with Stetson Bennet before and after he became a starter.
