Delp continues to put the ball on the ground, just like last year. There are too many other options at TE to allow him to play like that.

Imo....Doesn't matter what letter grade they put by the unit/player. That wasn't the complete Georgia Bulldog 2025 Team in action. YET!.

And....Expect more of the same next week. Kirby's still puttin' in work.. Lol

We won't see the season prototype till the Tennessee Game. After that...minor tweaks from week-to-week. Hopefully....Lol.

But, based on what I've seen...I think 2025 is gonna be "b'ery, b'ery good to the Georgia Bulldogs."....imho.

"Texas and Arch Manning struggled offensively and scored just 7 points in a loss to Ohio State."

I saw Texas get the ball inside the Ohio State 5 yard line twice and come away with nothing both times. Mainly because Sarkisian picked up the same idiot ball that nearly cost Ryan Day his job against Michigan and tried to use power football when he built a finesse team. Also because Sarkisian thinks that Arch Manning is an actual dual threat QB, instead of a dropback passer who can run, and called all those running plays for him, including the famous Jalen Hurts push goal line play which failed because there is only one Jalen Hurts (as Sarkisian coached Hurts at Bama he should know this).

Don't get me wrong. Manning is nowhere near a Heisman candidate. If Texas had their much-maligned Quinn Ewers from last year, they would have won. Manning missed a ton of throws, he missed even more reads and open receivers, and seemed to lock onto his "favourite" pass catchers, Endries and Livingstone, while completely ignoring the actual 3 starting WRs. He played like a freshman instead of a junior. But Ohio State scores 13 by simply attempting field goals instead of going for it on 4th and short, and scores 21 with better red zone playcalling.

Lol...yep. Apples and Oranges.

I only brought it up as an example of when & why....imo....you would want to punch down hard, at an Austin Peay or Kent State....or, UAB.

I don't take a lot...team-wise.…from a game like that. However.…I do remember a day when you couldn't take those games for granted. Lol

Speaking of which....I don't know about you & Navy....but, the older I get.…the more the details get blurred. Lol...I almost completely forgot...and intertwined events that occurred in 2021 with 2020. It's like that was one looong year for me. Lmao

CBeck was "the issue last year"? SMH. I didn't know Beck played on the 30th (38th passing, 36th rushing) ranked defense. He threw a couple of very nice long throws last night. Put more air under like I said last year. Sounds like he got a little coaching this off season. Based on how CBeck handled ND last night would lead you to believe UGA beats ND last year had he played. The game was 3-3 with 43 secs remaining in the 1st half w/o CBeck.

@David1 Yup ND was breaking in a new freshman QB. Who incidentally was 19/30 for 221 yds and 2 TD's vs Mia. While RLeonard was 15/24 for 90 yards w/1 TD vs UGA.

the way I remember it was Stetson relieved Dwan and then lost the job to injury suffered in the fu game. He didn’t get pulled before that. JT was so good he wasn’t giving the job back until he lost it to his own injury. Stetson and Gunner are an apples and oranges comparison experience wise.

I see what both you and @BigDawg61 are saying. I think the over the middle passes will be coming pretty soon. Probably to Dillon Bell, Lawson Luckie, Delp, Cash Jones would be some of the guys I expect to see catching balls over the middle probably vs the Vols. I’ve got a feeling we’ll see more run, run, run with some short to intermediate passes in game 2.

That’s honest and reasonable on your part. There’s most definitely work to be done and unfortunately time is not a friend now. But with the more vanilla than banana pudding game plan I thought they did pretty decent over all. I watched the game on TV and the program started with clips from the SECCG. Gunner dodged TX defenders for a very nice run. Then later a nice deep pass to Arian Smith. Gunner Does have the arm strength. If anything he needs to work on touch. But as far as ability to get the ball down field With Strength he has that.
I get annoyed with the tiny section of Dawgs fans wanting to fire Gunner before he even gets started good. To me that’s ridiculous . Now if he crumbles badly and HE puts the team in peril then yeah bring in Puglisi. I have Nothing at all against Pugs. But for now it should be Gunner’s job to keep as long as he does his job.

We’ll see much more of the playbook vs the Vols. And I believe and hope we’ll see a more complete Dawgs team as far as quality especially on Offense. Dawgs will be amped up for that game !!
