National media sounds off on Georgia football issues after Kentucky win
ATHENS — It’s easy to find flaws with the Georgia football program following its 13-12 win over the Kentucky Wildcats. Georgia was actually outgained by the Wildcats on the evening and trailed for much of the game.
Comments
Bottom line is Bobo called a horrible game. They keyed on stopping the run and he never adjusted. Beck also missed some crutial throws again.
I like it. No rat poison around the Dawg House, but a sharp elbow sucker punch that's going to have to be dealt with at the next opportunity.
Haters gonna hate and talking heads are gonna talk….
Nothing will be better than going into Tuscaloosa on a Saturday night and shocking the world!
Go Dawgs! Hate on Bama!
WHich receiver will BAMA have to give special attention to? We all know the answer, none. Brock Bowers gone. Ladd McConkey gone. Who will fill their shoes? Someone(s) needs to step up and be the go to guy. I hope I'm erong but I don't see it.
CB was no doubt coached that the only way we lose to KY is if you turn the ball over with interceptions. He played like a guy afraid of making a critical mistake. Stetson Bennett did too at times when Ibelieve he was coached the same way, Don't screw this game up and we win.
THe best SB played was when the game was on the line and he just let it rip. Go watch the final drive agaisnt Ohio St or BAMA in the NC game. Same for CB in the 2nd half of the BAMA game. THrow it like you mean it!
Yep, just like Kentucky needed THEIR wakeup call with the blowout prior to this game, this was OUR wakeup call.
So, here's the thing. The defense wasn't perfect, but you can't blame the defense when they are on the field for a large portion of the game and the other team is hammering them with run plays. You just can't. Giving up 12 points to an SEC opponent on the road is completely acceptable given the circumstances.
Therefore, it all comes down to coaching and offense. Whose fault is it? Beck's fault? Maybe and certainly he has paid the price for that perception with him going from Heisman forerunner and possible 1st pick of the Draft to now being considered overrated. The problem, though, is likely Bobo which is why he is getting negative feedback. His problem has ALWAYS been not being able to adapt mid-game. Oh sure, with 2 weeks to prepare, he'll show some great play-calling for Bama. But when his plan isn't working then he CAN'T adjust. 5 plays then Punt. 3 plays (-5 yards) then Punt. 5 plays then Punt. 6 plays then Punt. Given a gift of fumble with possession on the Kentucky 23 yard line… only make it 7 yards and get FG. End of Half.
Was 2nd half better? Sure a little (FG, TD + 2 punts), but you can't just wait until the 2nd half to make adjustments. A stronger offensive opponent would've had 21 points on us and we wouldn't have been able to come back.
Look, I like Bobo and he was a Freshman at Georgia when I was and I appreciate his loyalty and such, but this isn't acceptable especially when such a "QB Guru" failed his Heisman candidate. It's not a WR problem anymore either. Lovett, Bell, Young, Smith, Delp… these are impressive players. I don't support making fun of Bobo because of his name and he clearly has some skills, but I fear he is going to let us down when we need him most and it might cost us the chance at a championship.
"WHich receiver will BAMA have to give special attention to?"…….reddawg1, who cares…..The Dawgs don't have a "Featured" Prima Donna receiver and that's the way it should always be…..against Clemson, 9 receivers, Humphreys #1, A Smith 2nd and ……Luckie, Lovett and Bell close 3 rd…..TT, 15 receivers, A Smith #1,Luckie, Lovett, and Bell close 2nd…..Kentucky, 7 receivers, Dom #1, Bell and Young tied for 2nd…….Honorable mention…Etienne, Frazer, Delp, Evan III, & Tuggle….."Keepem guessin!
We deal with these kinds of outlooks all of the time. After the SC and Vandy games last season, there were just as many questions, especially when Brock went down.
CKS is a master at navigating his team through the emotional ebbs and flows of the SEC schedule. Players say they take each game seriously, but playing a team that was flattened the week before is not going to garner a lot of emotion. That is the reality - a team will not bring their best every game, but we know CKS will have his team plenty motivated when they need to be.
Going forward, the DL will hopefully be in much better shape at bama, and the play calling will open up. We always hear about how every team the Dawgs face treat the game like it's their "super bowl" but I'm guessing it will be the other way around this time. For all of the hype about the Texas game, this game vs Bama surely means more.
Please don't forget the second half adjustments made last year and the Clempson game this year!
I think there are definitely issues but they will be working those out and Coach Bobo and C. Beck will rise to the top next week!
I would bet the farm…..well …….
Go Dawgs! Hate on Bama!
All the "experts" come outta the woodwork with answers when a team has 1 bad game. I think Kirby knows quite a bit more about what needs to be corrected than a bunch of media "experts"
Lotta tough love going around for Bobo. If there's an OC problem CKS is aware and will address it promptly.
Go Dawgs!
Bobo is a huge problem.
Beck has gone Hollywood before even being drafted in the NFL.
These characters need to get their heads straight in a hurry or they will get boat raced in Tuscaloosa. I have already prepared myself for that distinct pprobability.
Let's face it, it was a lackluster performance on all levels, game planning, coaching, and execution. I was mostly disappointed with how both los's were manhandled. They better come out firing on all cylinders or it could get ****.
Bama Ga is not a rivalry….that would indicate Ga actually wins once and a while. 1-5 not impressive (sorry yawl, and I love the dawgs but they need to win one on occasions)
@YankeeDawg64 the overall series is 37-25-4, so I am not sure what you are talking about when it comes to UGA winning against Bama. the numbers bear a different story
