“It’s GREAT to be a GEORGIA BULLDAWG!”
Of course they hadn't, they don't teach that kind of thinking at the Arm Chair Coaching clinic.
Here's is my unprofessional opinion. Defense was totally in control and once the Dawgs jumped out on them like they did, Monken and Kirby decided it was a good time to work on run blocking, run production confidence, limit some of the opportunity for turnovers (which can get a deflated team back in the game quick) and shorten the game through the run. Besides, running the ball with success when they know you are going to run it is gratifying to the offense and a confidence builder. Stetson did a fine job and for the most part, exactly what was asked. Stetson deserves credit. He led his team to a convincing win over the #8 in the country. I know flashy offenses are great ticket sellers and fun to watch. However, Stetson is our back up QB and I know some of us was very concerned when we realized JT wasn't going to play. If you were told prior to the game that we would win by 37 with SBlll running the show, you would have been very happy with it. So why get on here and down Kirby, discredit Stetson (That was a statement, not a question)/. A lot was accomplished today, our running game took 3 strides forward today, our O-line got better at run blocking today, our defense pitched another shut out and our Dawgs remained undefeated in convincing fashion. It's great to be a Dawg!
Kirby said 2 things after the game today that are just absurd. First he said playing to the defense is called ''scheme''..BS, the offense of your choice is your offensive scheme and your offensive identity. Second he said every team he's been around just plays the offense best suited to their opponent..more nonsense. Great teams run their offense every week. Bama hasn't had a game where they threw for under 200 yards in probably 4 years. They were up 28 zip at the half today, they threw deep on their first play of the second half. Great offenses dictate to defenses.
If the season's goal ended today I would agree with you. Fact is we're 5 games into the season and we still haven't established who we are on offense.
Act shocked when we're exposed in Atlanta.
I absolutely agree. Bama did run the ball against that 3-2-6 defense. But, when OM started to put more in the box, Bama threw for 240 yards. My problem is that when Arkansas put 7/8 men in the box, UGA just kept running it, and with not much success at those times. So I completely agree about taking what the defense gives you, then why not change when they change? I know that when Arkansas finally changed, the game was not in doubt, but it would just be nice to see CKS have a killer instinct for once. Just to see what UGA can do.
GO DAWGS!!!!!
I guess 62-0 and 56-0 (the one play notwithstanding) aren't killer enough for you?
37-0 over the #8 team in the country, with a backup QB? Not good enough?
If they had gone about slinging it all over the Arkansas defense, there would undoubtedly be people on this site complaining about it. Saying, why are we giving the backup quarterback all these reps when we need to work on the running game?
Like usual, most just don't understand what I meant. Instead of thinking I was saying it wasn't good enough,try and read more into it. My response to ShoottheHooch was trying g to show that Bama played against the same defensive philosophy in OM. And when OM started to move more people in the box (which they did), Bama started to throw, to the tune of 240 yards. When Arkansas started to put more guys in the box, CKS just stuck with running. And like I said before, I understood why they did and that it was needed. There was no doubt in the outcome of the game. But if the offense has 3 wr's and 1 te and 1 back, with 8 men in the box, why not take a shot in the passing game. I understand the Mailmans limits, but he isn't worthless. He has some skills and had already thrown his 1 bad pass. Dropped thankfully. But my whole comment was about why Kirby won't allow more points. Remember, UGA did basically nothing for almost 2 qtrs, offensively. Let me help by clarifying that. SMH. Please, don't put 62 and 56 point games in a killer mentality. It was Vandy and UAB. Vandy may be one of the worst teams in the history of the SEC. Just playing offense against those 2 teams should produce several points. BTW, I never said to throw the ball all over the field. Just don't be SO PREDICTABLE. I didn't want a 60 point blowout on the Pit Boss, just a couple of more plays to get a couple more first downs. So hopefully this is a better explanationof what I meant.
GO DAWGS!!!!!
We've won our last 4 games by a combined 195-20. 7 of those 20 points came when we were passing the ball while up 56-0. It's just silly to suggest, as you did, that at no point this season has any "killer instinct" been displayed. And why shouldn't the Vanderbilt game count? They've had a lot of bad teams over the years; when was the last time someone beat them by 62?
No matter how this team goes about dominating an opponent, it will never not be possible to say there was a different way they could have done it. But these Dawgs are thoroughly steam rolling their opposition on a routine basis - all while dealing with a seemingly unending parade of injuries, no less. As long as that's the case, I really couldn't care less how they get it done.
Let's just say we agree to disagree on how a team should control a game. As of right now, they teams UGA has played, outside of Clemson, has been totally overmatched. But when the teams get better, and if UGA starts holding onto win by 3-10 points and the stress level gets high (which I can't handle), and you just watched a game when UGA was up by 17 points at half and watched them go 3 and out, 4 straight possessions because they quit attacking, we will see how your reactions go. Hopefully it doesn't happen. But with the history of Kirby, until he proves it, against great teams, not vanderbilt. It is still a worry. That is all I'm saying. So maybe I should of said a killer instinct against real good teams, which is hard for now, since UGA hasn't played UF or Ala yet. I know Arkansas was ranked 8, but really? These are the same people that ranked clemson 3. That's all I'm saying. And before you lose your mind, yes I thought Arkansas was a very physical, well coached good team. But remember when you sat there and watched Ala take over the 4th qtr against UGA and win those games? Stopped attacking and tried to run out the clock. I know, the teams are different, but the coach is the same. Where you don't see the problem now, because of the blowouts, I am thinking about what if's possibly later. Maybe I shouldn't, but maybe it's just me and possibly others. I agree with you about the fact, UGA has looked really good even with the mass amount of injuries on the offense especially. I don't want to see UGA to throw the ball 70 times a game, but like my original comment said, take what the defense gives you. When Arkansas started to load the box a little more, we should of thrown it some more. That's all I was saying. And that Ala showed that is what they do. When OM dropped 6 in to coverage, bama ran the ball, and when the box got loaded more, they threw. It would of just been nice to see it done. So like I said, we can agree to disagree.
GO DAWGS!!!!!!
