The UGA/KY and the AL/WI games were both head scratchers.
In the UGA game it all boiled down to OL failure. Discussed ad nauseam in many of the articles on Dawgnation.
As far as the UGA D, CGS seemed to bring supplemental pass rushers (mostly LB's but also saw Jackson blitz) on MANY plays. Tried to speed up inexperienced BVG. That strategy didn't really work and may have tipped AL off in the types of pressure UGA will need to contain Milroe. UGA tried to sit back on Milroe in the SECCG. Didn't work. You would expect UGA to bring pressure this time.
As for AL, Milroe is good. AL's O looked good. AL has talent at RB and WR. The AL OL is picked to win Joe Moore this year if they can stay healthy.
But I was surprised how seemingly easily WI moved the ball on AL's D. You would expect the AL D to take a step back with Saban moving on, the hiring of an offense minded HC and the S Alabama DC moving up to the big leagues.
Was AL's D down last week? Was WI's OL that good? UGA will need to get the O untracked vs AL to win.
As for Saban "moving on" expect him to be watching all available tape of UGA this week with a list of suggestions and inputs deliverable to DeBoer by the end of this week.
carson Beck: understand you are not yet drafted by the NFL.
My advice to you is put up your tous and play like you are pissed off. Otherwise you may wind up like refrigerator Perry looking like a hungry bum while fishing for catfish on the banks of the missippi
GIve Milroe time to throw and he will hit on long passes, he actually throws those better than the short ones. So, pressure will be key but at the same time if you try to go behind him on wide angled pursuits he's just going to take off and run. You have to somehow keep him in front of you. PRessure with discipline.
That back for KY sure did carry a lot ofour bigger guys with him after he got hit. Not sure what was up with that.
We'll need 29 to win and also win the turnover battle.
A lot of Chicken Little's out there. Georgia went into a hornets nest, UK played as well as they could play and still came up short, Stoops said as much. You can't judge a team by one performance, as poorly as we played we still found a way to win. 3-0, two games against good teams. UGA will have their hands full against Bama but to be the best you have to beat the best. Like it or not Bama is in our head, I look for another game that could go either way….
people forget the phrase “ on any given Saturday”. Just go back to last week at Notre Dame. It happens. Just focus on the next game.
Why does Smart continually defend Mike Bobo? The guy is getting paid millions and he can't see Bobo's lackluster play calling and lack of imagination? Really, I want to hear a legitimate answer. And please, just remember no pass play beyond seven yards in the first half. Same happened with Clemson. ONE pass thrown down field in the first half. Bobo just loves those predictable sideline passes and running it up the middle.
on the surface I agree with you, but several film guys have broken down the offensive plays and it wasn’t the plays, it was the blocking and execution.
I have watched the offense plays slowed down and reviewed by Austin Brooks on his show. He defends Bobo but you have to remember he's a guy that wants interviews and to be able to ask CKS questions after the game without feeling Kirby's ire so I take his opinion about the OC with a grain of salt, but with that said, in his analysis, he showed a few times where our TE missed a block that would have possibly sprung the receiver, both on Yurosk and Delp. He showed a time or two where CB didn't see the most open receiver. OK that happens every game to some degree, especially when the QB is being harrassed by the rush. BUt what I didn't see was where CMB schemed a guy wide open, or where our receiver just juked his man and came wide open,.
For the most part KY had several different zone coverages and they disguised them well. In other words their DC outcoached our OC.
I do remember in the Ohio St game thinking how are their guys so open all the time. A lot of times we wouldn't have a defender within 5 yards of their receiver? It gets back to play calling and having great receivers that the defenders are afraid of getting too close , so they play off the receiver.
Our TE production this year is roughly half of last seasons at this point in catches and yardage. I don't know what happened to Yurosk. He was like the best pass catcher Stanford had. Some will say it's the SEC and I don't buy that. He caught a lot of contested passes for them. Is he even getting one target a game?
Agree 100%. Saw this film study Sunday evening. Yes Carson missed on some opportunities to air it out a bit but our O-line was whipped big time. Many times due to 6-7 defenders in the box. Missed assignments. Arm chair guys would benefit from watching Coach Hayes.
