Georgia football 'On the Beat' show, putting a wrap on the Bulldogs' 23-17 win over Notre Dame, and the reasons for optimism moving forward

Just because a bunch of fans and media types think UGA needs to throw it more doesn't mean it's going to happen. Heck, right after the Vandy game, Kirby himself said that we needed to throw the ball more and stretch the field. We did it against Arkansas State and Murray State, then went back to "three yards and a cloud of dust" against Notre Dame. So I don't look for UGA to become Alabama or LUS overnight just because us fans thinks they should. Time will tell.
I'm not sure the play after half time, especially on offense, is "adjustments." The script with Kirby doesn't change much in big games and is part of the game plan. Repeated body blows with an occasional head shot in the first half to soften the opponent. Own the third quarter with flurries to the head and body. If there's not a knockout by the fourth, continue with the third quarter game plan. Our losses seem to come when things don't go along with the plan and the players have to improvise or have to resort to a plan "B".
I would like to think of this team as a little more than a "work in progress". What I saw on saturday did concern me...especially with the running game...with the best offensive line in the country, Kirby did not have confidence that he could pick up a yard...Also, the Dawgs did not look good at all on that 3 and out after the Dame TD. Right now I have to speak the truth and say that Georgia is not in the same league with Clemson and Alabama. They have to improve if they expect to have any chance against either team
I have no worries about this team. Some of yall want to throw 25 times when we dont have to. Thus defense is only going to get better and they're already good. The Dawgs wont blowout every game they play. A win is a win by 1 or 50
