Georgia football instant observations after ambushing Florida
Georgia football beat Florida on Saturday to move to 8-0 on the season.

I don’t get it - look at Bennet’s numbers. JT couldn’t beat that? Really? Credit to Bennet, but I wouldn’t blame JT for transferring. Good luck to Bennet beating Alabama.
My instant observations...many say defenses win Championships, but my question is can our offense win one???
The offensive performance today wasn't good. Stetson throwing 2 interceptions on poorly thrown balls. 354 yards of total offense will probably not win a Championship, 4/9 on 3rd downs will probably not win a Championship, and scoring so few offensive points as we did today won't beat Bama or win a Championship. We still haven't had to play from behind, and Jones picked us apart on the final drive that scored the only FL TD. Bama has the ability to do the same thing on drive after drive, so we're going to need to crank up our high flying offense.
Great defensive performance as usual, but we have got to get our offense moving much more efficiently.
I have been a big Bennett fan, but the two ridiculously awful throws this afternoon—one bad judgement and the other awful location—have me hoping Georgia starts Daniels next game.
Edit: I add that the enitre offense played poorly at every position.
The QB decision does matter and IMO Mike and Connor are the only ones remotely close to the UGA program who get it. Kirby Smart is infected with the DGD disease. Heaven help any quarterback who ever comes to Athens from Cali or Washington or elsewhere. You will be second place behind any kid with a deer stand and a pinch in his cheek (See, e.g., Jake Fromm - whom I love and follow on the Bills but was not the best QB to come thru Athens in his time).
Stetson Bennet is a great kid. Nobody disputes that. But JT Daniels is one of the finest QBs to come onto the scene in a decade. Want to run tape on the FL game? Want to see the missed checks at the line, missed progs, double coverage throws (a recurring theme)? Come on, COACH! Get your head our of your red/black hind quarters.
As a Michigan guy (hey, UGA law school so don't hate), it reminds me of the whole Brady fiasco at UM.
Maybe we just have to wait., for a coach who can love his school and still make cogent decisions w/o emotion.
Fact: UGA cannot beat ALA or OK (playoff top 4 game) with Stetson at QB.
But hey, big whoops for Kirby and the "good ole' boy" theme which keeps UGA from achieving what the players deserve.
I had the same thought that our defense will get stressed at some point, and I thought this is the game. Florida has a good offense, but I thought we should be able to contain them to around 20 points and our offense would score enough points to win. But I didn't expect our defense was able to totally dominate, and I didn't expect our offense to play this poorly.
Objection. We have no way of knowing that Stetson was not our best choice at quarterback today. Opinions are not evidence. Yours are not admissible unless you're an expert witness, right?
I tend to trust the coach who has us at #1 in the country and whose team just trounced our most hated rival.
We can also think of very good reasons why Stetson played and JTD didn't. (One possible reason being that JT is not really healed. He's able to play but vulnerable to injuring himself again. He'll be more fully recovered with a few more weeks of light duty.)
We don't know what we don't know.
Go, Dawgs!
Yall couch coaches kill me. Bennett did have a off game but the offense only had 58 plays and scored like you would want when the defense gets a turnover. Stats mean nothing
