Dang....I guess UGA is paying the wrong guys to coach. Seems like the real experts sit in the stands, watch games from home or write about football.
I agree totally with Brandon Adams. From the VERY FIRST DRIVE against SC, I was screaming about their playcalling on second down. It's a killer. We pick up 2, 3, 4 yards on first down. Then, because the whole world knows we're going to run, we run for a yard -- maybe -- on second down. So now we have 3rd and 5,, 6 or 7. Seems easy to get, but it's not. And if you keep on being in those 3rd down situations -- which we were on Saturday -- eventually you lose, especially when your receivers can't get off press coverage. Do something different on second down!
Several appropriate parts to that answer. The most important variable is possibly the conservative coaching philosophy which leads to 1.) playing down to your opponents, 2.) eventually playing beneath them and losing, and 3.) an overall sense of apathy and frustration amongst the team. They must attack their opponents.
Dawgs can win as currently constructed and certainly can win the East. Florida will be tough to beat but they are not invincible. Need to heal up and get those young playmakers more involved. South Carolina loss could prove to be the turning point when all is said and done. Go Dawgs!
We’re not winning the East. Not with this Coordinator/ offensive philosophy (Kirby). Old man football has finally caught up to us
