Georgia makes second half adjustments with the defense, which shows in every game. When are they going to do the same on the offensive side of the ball. The last time Georgia really played loose of offense is when we had Aaron Murray behind center with Todd Gurley in the back field. We had talented receivers with Bennett, Conley, and Mitchell, but we have better talent now with the speed. Wake up Georgia!
If the bulk of the comments on this site are any indicator, we've become the Alabama fan base a lot more quickly than I would have thought.
Obviously there are things to improve upon. I haven't seen anyone suggest otherwise, nor am I interested in doing so myself. But Georgia was faced with a legit opponent that had spent the past week hearing from pretty much everyone that they didn't stand a chance in the game and played like they were ready to shut everybody up. The Dawgs won this game despite a number of significant injuries on both sides of the ball, but to hear many of the fans tell it, one could be forgiven for thinking we lost by 20.
As for all the talk about "turning Fromm loose," correct me if I'm wrong, but does he not have options at his disposal before each play, and the freedom to decide where to go with the ball? Did Smart not say earlier this season that he wants to see Fromm stretch the field more? It's become something of an obligatory trope to criticize Smart's decision making after every big game, usually calling it too conservative. Considering the success the run game was having toward the end of the game, that the team generated something like 70 passing yards in the 4th quarter, and that Georgia's lead was steadily building up until Notre Dame's first successful drive of the second half with about 3 minutes left, I'm still waiting for a persuasive explanation as to why gaining yards and points in the fashion that they did is so richly deserving of criticism.
I'm sorry but the "a win is a win" is dumb. You mean to tell me a win by six points is the same as a win by 20 or more? Seriously? A win by 20+ tells me the team and coaches are ready for a better opponent. If not for the astonishing home field advantage, UGA loses this game.
Mike you should have given one more grade to the fans, A++. I agree with you other grading and am glad you gave CKS a D+. How in the world does Zeus not get tin this game? How does Cook get one touch?
I hope the coaching staff did a better job selling the recruits in attendance than they did selling me on their conservative play calling on offense and lack of adjusting to the tightends on defense. When a school as old and talented as ND sets a record for catches by a tightend in a game, THE COACHES FAILED!
I'm sorry, but I just know this style of coaching will not get us where we all desire to be. Go Dawgs!
Agreed. Both played tough.... Both had mistakes that were costly. Just what I expected. Media blew it on the late predictions. Classic rat bait.
I do agree with the gist of these ratings. D+ a bit too harsh regarding coaching, but the offense did stay under wraps too much, and Kirby needs to go for the kill down the stretch. It did remind me of the Bama games. At least the team didn't get tired, but we've got to dial up something better offensively once we have a lead. Not a fan of kicking the ball on 4th and 1 to go up 23-10, either. Not when the Dawgs were inside the 30 yard line and in position to put the game away. Kirby has a 1980's mentality sometimes with his in game approach. On the flipside, you don't give coaches a D+ when you account for the effort that is a result of consistently strong coaching year round. You don't give a D+ when your QB is sharp and the defense makes some adjustments. If you merely take away the muffed punt return and Camarda punts 40 yards on his two shanks, this game would look different.
Georgia Coaches are so predictable. Take the offense, when they other teams defense sees Charlie Woerner in the game we're more than likely going to run the ball inside or outside, maybe throw an outside screen. If Eli Wolfe is in the game we're going to throw the ball. Isn't hard for other teams when they watch film and pick up on these tendencies. This will cost Georgia down the road if this continues. Same was true last year and it did cost us.
E_Roc, I understand your point, but Fromm is not the Head Coach nor Offensive Coordinator. You just cannot base this game against Notre Dame on how the offense performance is in its entirety. Georgia have never stretched the field in their play calling. Look at the top contenders who Georgia could face in the playoffs.....they throw the ball down field. Georgia have lost high competitive game against great teams because of not throwing the ball down field to open up the offense. It has showed the past two years. Look at LSU and Texas who demonstrated this on the big stage. Only if Notre Dame had an offense like those two, I am sure you would be singing a different tune because Georgia would have been on the losing end of Saturday night game. Lets be 100...
