Georgia football instant observations show why it’s the No. 1 team in the country against Kentucky
ATHENS — In this chaos season that is college football in 2021, another top-5 team lost on Saturday. That team though was not Georgia.

VERY solid win by our Dawgs !! Not perfect but nothing from humanity on this earth is perfect. That big ole nice W looks great and I’ll sure take it !! Go Dawgs !!
W's always shine better than L's. I agree. But the D was not as sharp as it could have been. KY's Levis is no slouch. UGA should NEVER have allowed them 13 pts. UGA does this too often near game's end. I attribute it to Smart giving time to non-starters. Hopefully, that is what it was. Other than that it was a big W. Give me a down arrow if you wish. I expected UGA to score more and KY less.
Dawgnation hates the team they cover.
Lol you and Mike Griffith must have watched different games.
There’s Always room for better. But considering that KY came in undefeated and looking to knock our Dawgs off AND here’s the most important part all the numerous injured guys we have. PLUS three straight games against ranked opponents one of which was on the road. Our Dawgs did pretty well today. I imagine some fatigue was beginning to set in on our Dawgs.Perfect game ?? No. But pretty good and got the W against a pretty good and Hungry KY team. Dawgs won by 17. In my mind I thought KY would be a tougher opponent than either Aub or Ark and they were. And I stated that here a couple days ago. Lastly not many people are gonna care about the score As Long As our Dawgs keep posting W’s !! Now on to a Very Much needed Bye week !! Dawgs will probably get some injured guys back and be a more complete team after the Bye. I hope they curb stomp the walking pocket books down in Jax !! Go Dawgs !!!
At this point, I think it’s Stetsons job to lose even if JT is healthy!
Gonna post this and run because I see the tide and I'm definitely not on that wave. Stetson Bennett is one of the greatest True Dawgs to ever play. But UGA will not (okay they might but it would take some luck) win a Natty with him as QB. The reason takes some "under the hood" checks.
Look at 3rd down for one thing. But an even bigger - though less recognized - issue: putting UGA in the right play, recognizing defenses, and running progressions correctly. When safeties are making tackles in the UGA backfield, you think that's simply due to a missed block? Nope.
JT is now garbage? There is a reason why JT was ranked right there with Lawrence and Fields coming out of H.S. There's a reason he was the Gatorade PLAYER of the Year (not just QB) in only his Junior season. And there's a reason why the offense looks like it does with him at the helm. Slick, smooth, and unstoppable (look at 3rd down conversion rate, including today, once again).
But according to some in Bulldog Nation (including Kevin Butler, whose "analysis" is at the level of a third-grader), if Brady gets a lat strain and the Bucs continue to win, he should never see the field again. Hey, maybe Dak should be benched by Dallas.
Bottom line, I respect and appreciate everything SB has done for this university and this team. But he is not the best QB on that football team and, if we're doing it the Kirby way, the best player plays, regardless. Yeah, I know. Nobody agrees with me. Thankfully, the coaches actually watch tape and don't become fan boys. They will make the right call. Do not be surprised to see JT Daniels at UF (if not starting, at some point in the first half). Then maybe we can all settle down and move on, to Atlanta and beyond.
It would by all appearances seem that Your right. That said I’ll sure be glad when JT is back 100% healthy. Scared me today when it looked like Stets shoulder was hurt. In my humble opinion I’d like to see Both able to play 100% healthy. That way God Forbid one go down you could trot the other out there. As they have different skill sets opposing Ds will have no other choice but prepare for Both. Which in a way cuts down on the number of Quality reps the opposition gets in practice as they don’t know which of our QBs will show up. It’s a Big plus in my opinion to in the event Either is having a bad game. Kirby can pull the one struggling and put the other guy in. To Me there’s no shame in that. QBs like pitchers in baseball can just have times that for whatever reasons their not as sharp as they usually are. If JT can get past his injuries the Dawgs will be blessed with Two very good QBs !! ***** I just hope ( and I believe he is) that JT is still fully vested in the Dawgs. I’m sure it’s extremely depressing for him standing on the sidelines watching. But he strikes me as a Team guy. I’m Sure Not wishing anything bad on Stets !! But before it’s all over who knows we may need JT. It’ll be good to get him back. Ole Stets looking very good !!
Nah, I'm with you. I've never been a Stetson naysayer, and think that he's a DGD for sure. Someone to talk about as the guy who kept things going for years to come. But he's not our number 1. I sure am happy that he's developed into the QB that he has, and am stoked that THIS is our backup, but he IS the backup.
negan...
I don't know about those last 6 points that were passed out to KY. Being at the game, and seeing the replays they put on the jumbotron, that was NOT a TD; the refs called it good anyway. Dude's b u t t was down in front of the line. Maybe he got the ball past the markers and folks at home saw that, but there was nothing like that for folks in the stands.
One guy's two-cents worth:
A. Podlesny scares me and he's done so since the Clemson game. But a missed extra point at that point in the game is not exactly "chaos."
B. Why do people keep putting down Stetson. The guy plays and he wins. JT is still somewhat limited as he warmed up with the third string; behind Beck. I'm' SURE a healthy Bennett isn't behind Carson Beck. So let's just chill, Dawg fans. I think Kirby and his assistants have a pretty good idea who to play and when.
C. And finally, remember when it seemed highly-touted tight ends would come to UGA and all but disappear? Now they are our shining stars, if not downright offensive saviors.
Great win, today. Not a perfect win, but a win nonetheless. And it's that the object of the game? Go Dawgs!
Why do people keep insisting that people keep putting down Bennett? Is this happening somewhere else on the internet? In in-person conversations?
Remember last year when they told Stetson he wasn't good enough to start? Shows you how much they knew. Monken might call a good game but was it his idea to start Dwan over Stetson? LOL!!!!!!
There's nothing unusual about top 5 teams losing. The rankings are shuffled most every year till in the end there's only 1 or 2 undefeated teams. How often do we have the same top 5 in week 12 that we have in week 7 ?
Who are ''they'' in this case ? Since almost everybody wanted JT by this time in the 2020 season, I'm betting you were among them, I know I was.
