Sometimes it's better to say "I don't really see enough of Georgetown to judge but they'll probably finish last."Originally Posted by Go Lehigh TU owl
You suggest Sgarlata is "clueless on offense"? He doesn't coach offense! That's the job of Rob Spence, the former Clemson OC who coached alongside Dabo Swinney in the 2000's. What's changed between then and now? Talent! It's not a secret among PL teams that Georgetown's non-scholarship recruiting is significantly behind everyone else with impact positions, especially the ground game. A 5-9, 180 lb. scatback might get you 100 yards in game 1 but by October he's banged up or out entirely. Georgetown hasn't had a serious option at RB in over 15 years and the other teams know it, but that's what's left when the other six PL teams get done with their recruiting.
Georgetown's leading rusher averaged 40 yards a game. Couple this with long-standing recruiting weakness at OL and Spence can do little but hope his QB has enough time to find a five or ten yard pass play against five in the box. That's not a formula for end of season success.
Dayton was supposed to be a return game from 2014 but it has not been confirmed. A lot of schools have passed or backed out of games at GU in recent years (St. Francis, Howard, Dartmouth) so I wouldn't be shocked if Dayton follows suit. FWIW, Davidson will not return a game from 2019.
Let's be transparent: Georgetown is not a scheduling draw.
