ATHENS — Kirby Smart gets it, that this Georgia football team hasn’t looked as dominant this season as the past two national championship units.

These are the tangibles. No one is tougher, we don't quit, we have elite players and elite coaching staff and a fan base at the stadium that will go wild. I'm thinking Georgia by at least 10 in a low scoring game. GO DAWGS!!!
“We have not started fast,” Smart said, “and I can’t put a finger on what that is.” I can. Underperforming OL, injured RB's, training wheels offensive game planning on offense. Lack of leadership, lack of urgency/effort, missed defensive assignments, not ready for prime time young players on defense.
CKS knows exactly what it is. He just isn't telling the media.
We haven't forced many 3 and outs this year.
With the game clock running non-stop this year a run play that isn't productive say goes for no gain , you just took 1 minute off the clock. Run it again for no gain and you just took another minute off the clock. And you can't make it up by stopping the clock temporarily by maing a first down. All well and good if you're leading but when you are trying to maximize scoring opportunities it's easy to shoot yourslf in the foot by trying to run and getting little yardage. Most completed passes go for an average of 7 yards or more, plus if it's incomplete the clock stops.
If your QB can average 7+ yards or more per completion and you complete it 70 % of the time then with the clock situation your almost foolish to try to manufacture a run game that's not clicking much. It's literally, a waste of time.
