Georgia football stock report: Bulldogs up and down in 24-6 win
Georgia football roared out to a 21-0 lead at Vanderbilt, but the individual performances were mixed from that point on, with one unit a surprising disappointment
Comments
what an anemic second half. Poor execution or poor play calling? The big boys up front must have taken a siesta
Ugh...disappointing to hear about.
I recorded the game so I'll watch when I get home.
24-6?
You might check that score in your headline, 30-6 not 24-6. Go Dawgs!
You got the score wrong ! I knew Vandy would play us tuff. How about all the Red at the game ! Not bad for a first game on the road. Got sloppy a few times ! They get it fixed ! Good to see Zues get out there & knock some rust off !!! Go Dawgs
I guess it's a luxury that a 24 point win can feel disappointing. Here's hoping it was just week 1 kinks that will be ironed out. But speaking of ironing out the kinks, I do find the lack of passing in the second half perplexing. In the past, I've found it to be kind of a silly argument, but when you've got a receiving corps this inexperienced, why not give them the reps?
STOCK DOWN
Accurate score reporting
Stock down for my headline on deadline! I'll be running extra sprints after we finish up our stories!
I thought Ga started out very strong and then either lost some concentration or maybe Vandy made good adjustments. Need to watch the re-play, I suspect it was a little of both.
I'm very pleased with the defense, minus the unnecessary penalties.
Disappointed in the second half offense, but I give credit to Derrick Mason's boys, and also feel that Coley was limiting the offense as to not show any more than necessary with ND the next real hurdle on the schedule.
Glad to see some receivers step up and it was awesome to see Zamir White running again. His running style reminds me of Nick Chubb.
The Dawgs covered the spread and it didn't look like there were any serious injuries. Not a bad start...
1-0
Get back to Athens watch the film make changes and do more!
we gave the coaching staff a ton to work on before ND.
The uneven nature of the performance is par for the course for most teams on opening day. Georgia's talent is so far above Vandy's that we looked good despite opening day inconsistency. We will improve on defense I have no doubt.
On offense--we did great in the first half. I thought play selection was varied and at times inspired. Then with a lead we seemed to revert back to a very vanilla offense. It almost seemed our guys got bored. Jake's second half rhythm was off it seemed to me and I'm wondering if that is due to something with Jake and the players, or something to do with coaching decisions.
All that said, we won this game without a moment of doubt in my mind. I think we could have scored at will had we stuck to the creative play calling of the first half. I am pleased with the outcome and proud of our team. But it is a long way to go to any serious talk of an SECC.
“Airing it out more”... Not really. They are what they are, which is fine. But I kind of wanted to see the ball in the air more. The receivers need experience. Maybe next week.
What I saw was the exact same recipe that blew a two score lead to Alabama twice in a row. Get a early lead and then shut the offense down. This is not a national championship team, they have the players but the game day coaching is sorely lacking. Yet another year empty handed, Clemson, Alabama and a couple others would boatrace this team
