If the Georgia football team is to win a national championship this season, it's not going to be through the arm of its quarterback.

These Bulldogs were fashioned as a throwback.

For 12 games, Georgia used a menacing defense and an offense built around its rushing attack to ascend to No. 1 in the nation.

But those linchpins didn't hold in a 41-24 loss to No. 2 Alabama on Saturday in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.

On this edition of "SEC Football Unfiltered," a podcast from the USA TODAY Network, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams debate whether Georgia should change quarterbacks for the playoff.
