I must of missed the 40 points we scored this game. What game were you watching? Bobo did good the 2nd half. First half not so much. Beck played very well considering they were blitzing and you need to set your feet to throw some of those deeper passes. Hard to set your feet with a blitz in your face. I did see one time he threw it in the teeth of a blitz and it was complete. I think he played very well. I just think we need to rethink our red zone playcalling. Bobo will improve.
This is really it imo. Let him rip it next game so he will be ready for Auburn.
Time to take the governor off Bobo and Smart or you are going to be the cause of a loss.
I know numbers aren't everything, but just 2 quick numbers...
Monken's 1st year, UGA averaged 32.3 points a game.
So far in 2023, UGA is averaging 39 points a game.
What post did you read? My point was very clear, even when Bono’s offenses were averaging 40+ points a game (under Richt) Dawg fans still complained about his play calling. One thing is for certain, Bobo does not have free rein to open the playbook as he wishes. He is bound by Kirby’s philosophy and blueprint for winning games just as Monken was. That blueprint though not always pretty has worked almost to perfection the past two years.
If the first half of the game was Kirby's blueprint then his blueprint looked pretty bad. Regardless, 3 points in the first half is not going to get it done no matter what your track record is. I'm dealing with today and the present you are living in the past. Let's see if we can fix the present.
Truer words were never spoken, and already we are seeing it happen.
UGA had 3 1st half possessions. FG, missed FG and halftime. Are you laying the 2 stalled drives all on Bobo? Play calling was a part as was failed execution and SC D rising up. New clock rules are shortening games/possession #'s. If the D would've stopped SC in the 1st half UGA would have had more possessions.
This article was 7 months ago. Let's see how this all plays out.
If Bobo turns this around with Beck you better be ready to eat some crow. This kind of article should be reserved for an L. Bobo and Beck turned it around at the half and won this thing.
@MikeGriffith I agree Mike. I think it’s a little early yet to throw rocks at Bobo. Regarding him Im willing to go into Wait and See mode for a little while. Im interested to see what this Dawgs team can do with Ladd McConkey back and fully healthy. He offers another deep threat.
On a side note I’d sure love to see Arian Smith ramp up his game. We need him as a Confident deep threat. Beck needs as many guys possible that he be Confident to launch the ball down field deep. He has the arm, just needs guys to get down there and get open.
This article is one mans HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE opinion. There are an array of variables offensively that make the beginning of the bobo era and end of the Monken era different. Go back and look at the 2020 schedule and you’ll catch my drift.
This is a new team, with a new identity. It is CRYSTAL CLEAR that Kirby is content to lean on this defense, play conservative and allow the offense time to round into form. Every win may not be flashy; but we can absolutely positively beat every team until ole miss with this strategy.
Let’s let the season play out before we write any scrutiny about Bobo (or any coach/player for that matter) in stone. Every link in our offensive chain can be strengthened; and I’m confident we will see them each grow stronger.
Have a little faith, brother. Go Dawgs.
@MikeGriffith love the article. States the facts, and paints a perspective to many Uga fans are too “knee-jerkey” to see for themselves. Time will tell but I feel pretty good about where we are. It’ll be a fun run this year. We’ll continue improving and getting healthier/more cohesive.
In business, a good rule of thumb is to not hire friends and family. I squirmed when I read that Bobo was yet again back on the UGA payroll as an "analyst". following six years that included head coach with a losing record and very short gigs as OC at two different other SEC schools.
Seems like the author was trying to place partial blame on Smart for calling the shots etc. Well, he did the same with the previous OC that he does with the current one. I do not buy the excuse of talent and injuries affecting our timid offensive game plans. This is classic Bobo whose third down choice 90% of the time is to just run it up the middle off tackle. Bobo is prdictable to our opponents. Seems like Bobo doesn't trust Carson Beck. Well, I trust Carson more than I trust Bobo at this point. Beck needs to get game reps throwing the long ball now instead of when we are playing our most capable opponents later. Our receivers also need these reps as well as our O line. We have a great defense that can absorb the risk of a couple of interceptions on long balls while reaching operating temperature for the meat of our schedule.
@CWdawg1979 I know numbers aren't everything, but just 2 quick numbers...Monken's 1st year, UGA averaged 32.3 points a game.

Yeh..not so good a comparison with the Covid stuff.that happened...no QB (the WF guy who quit, then Dwan Mathis, then SB, no wait JT. DIDn't have the horses at receiver we have now. Apples and oranges.
THe clock continuously running is taking away the offense(alot of it) and even enjoyment by us fans. JUst 3 possessions by us in 2 of the first 3 games in the first half. As a fan sitting through 15 more minues of commercials every game is not adding to the fan experience. Surprised no one is raising san over this.
