In the SEC, expectations will outweigh results 95 percent of the time.<br /><br />Since the summer I've written that the criticism of Richt has been inflated, and that only grew as the year went on. But at the same time, there were clearly (and probably still are) issues he needs to address.

IMO the injuries seemed a lot less this year and there never was game this year when I thought "Wow, the other team is physically dominating UGA." (I have thought that in the past-i.e. Bama 08).
