Notre Dame used Georgia Tech ‘blueprint’ to beat Georgia
ATHENS — Georgia football won the battle against Georgia Tech this season, but it turns out that it came at a very steep price.

You're better off writing all of your hyperbole, or just not to write anything at all.
Totally agree….they didn't follow any blueprint.
Yech ran for more yards and passed for more yds.
ND did not even get to 300 yds of offense. One TD was after a turnover inside the 10 and a botched KO coverage.
Thats 14 pts. by self inflicted wounds. So lets do the math. ND's "blueprint" of Yech scored a total of measly points. 3 fgs. Thats it! Outpassed and outgained by a backup QB plus struggling line. And don't say the blue print was used on D. Yech gave up 500 yds and 44 points. So this article is ignorant and silly.
To say otherwise is erroneous and ridiculous.
Its called turnovers, special teams break downs, and kicking fgs in the redzone instead of tds.
Its also dropped passes and the OL playing like crap.
Finally, Please stop putting out stories about UGA in relation to ND and the NCG. We are not in it.
So we don't care about what they are saying.
Just Shut it
what you are saying is Buster Faulkner is a better offensive coordinator than Bobo and so is Denbrook. I knew the plays Bobo was going to run as a fan and I knew Notre Dame did as well. Except for the one drive when Gunner was Gunner they knew. Even with that said dropped balls and turnovers led to the loss.
Georgia beat Georgia, why even write an ignorant article, I cringe every time I see him on SEC network, afraid of what other **** comment he will make.
you’re not alone.

No, Georgia Tech went 7-6 this year including an 8 point loss to Vanderbilt, a double digit loss to Louisville, a 3 TD loss to Notre Dame and only scoring 6 points in a 2 TD loss to 6-7 Virginia Tech. While they did beat a decent Duke team, it was clear that Miami and UGA were the only games that Key and Faulkner cared about this season.
And no one was calling Denbrook a genius when UGA humiliated LSU in the 2022 SEC championship game: https://www.dawgnation.com/football/around-the-sec/jayden-daniels-jalen-carter-sack/KPNARSSLBZEHTEY3MGO3RZAGLY/. After that game the author of this piece claimed that Jayden Daniels wasn't an NFL QB, while hyping Stetson Bennett IV's prospects for the same. Not only that: UGA fans criticized Ryan Day's playcalling and suggested that QB CJ Stroud was an overhyped player who would fail in the NFL after his struggles in the second half of the next game. Well look at Day, Daniels and Stroud now.
Denbrook, Day, Daniels and Stroud faced the same thing against UGA in 2022 that Bobo faced: a talent advantage that they could not overcome. In 2022, those guys faced a UGA defense loaded with Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, Kelee Ringo, Kamari Lassiter, Javon Bullard, Tykee Smith, Chris Smith and Robert Beal - and those are only the guys on active NFL rosters - plus the guys like Malaki Starks, Jalon Walker, Mykel Williams, Chaz Chambliss, Warren Brinson, Smael Mondon etc. that are going to get drafted this year.
And that's not all. UGA in 2022 had the talent on offense - NFL starters at TE, OT, WR plus much more talented guys at RB - to put pressure on teams that the 2024 edition didn't have. The LSU and Ohio State 2022 offenses knew that they had to put TDs on the board the entire game to win. Georgia Tech and Notre Dame this year? Not so much. Notre Dame was confident after the TDs at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half that the game was over and called plays accordingly. They knew that UGA didn't have Bowers, McConkey, Mitchell etc. to power a comeback.
Buster Faulkner and his blueprint or not, the 2022 UGA team crushes both Notre Dame and Georgia Tech by 4 TDs. Future UGA teams need to first find out how to get as much talent as those teams did - or failing that how to amass a bunch of very good college players that have decent to limited NFL potential using the portal like the 2023 Michigan team that had 18 kids invited to the combine even if only 13 of them were ultimately drafted - before talking about how the coaching can get better. Because thinking that there is any scheme or strategy that could have gotten UGA's WRs open or UGA's RBs to break long runs is fooling yourself. Instead, UGA should have given Mike Bobo players like future NFL prospects RB Jamal Haynes and WR Eric Singleton Jr.
It’s 2025 !!! Go Dawgs !!!
Bullhockey. ND scored one (1!!) offensive TD against UGA… with an incredibly short field.
Yeah, it wasn't Notre Dame's offense that won that game. The offense scored 16 points, and their only TD came after a UGA fumble inside their own 20.
ND won because UGA's offense was completely one-dimensional. They didn't even need to stack the box to stop UGA's run game.
I couldn't agree with you more, @benzone. I don't know what @MikeGriffith is trying to say, but there was no "blueprint" at all. We simply lack the talent that we've had in previous years. Take away Etienne's fumble (something you don't plan on), and the kickoff return (something you don't plan on), and it's a TOTALLY different Sugar Bowl. What Georgia Tech did had nothing to do with it. Of course ND "watched the tape" of that game. They likely watched the tape of every UGA game. It's called preparation. If the point of this piece is that Faulkner is a better OC than Bobo, then just say that. But I'm not sure he is. Again, put that same 2022 team's talent out there now, and UGA goes undefeated again and coast to a National Championship, even over the $20 million Ohio State Buckeyes.
I didn’t read this ridiculous article, but I will comment on the title. Georgia lost the sugar bowl with pathetic blocking, untimely ridiculous penalties by top players, terrible play calling, a missed struck kickoff that was supposed to go in the end zone, no discipline on the sidelines, and now we know a head coach worrying about his father in serious condition. Yes nd played a great game where Georgia didn’t, but the Georgia mistakes were more internal than caused by nd.
The second thing is, do any of us really care about articles about the two most disliked teams in all of college football? Like I said, I’m just commenting on the article that I didn’t read.
223 days until kickoff!
Go Dawgs!
Ha ha Jalen Carter just picked up Matt Stafford in the playoff game on a sack. Reminiscient of his 2022 play against Daniels.
@DallasDawg
"If the point of this piece is that Faulkner is a better OC than Bobo, then just say that."
He would have to deal with how the Georgia Tech offense performed in the other 5 losses. Not only that but some of their wins. Against FSU and Duke, the offense didn't do much and Tech needed big help from the defense and special teams to eke out wins. King had 110 yards and 3 TDs rushing against UGA, but only 30 yards on 12 carries against the same mighty Duke defense that Ole Miss is still scoring on. And against a wretched 2 win FSU, King somehow had 3 more rushing attempts than completed passes, as if they were running the triple option or something, except an actual triple option team would have had more than 190 rushing yards.
It isn't just Griffith. I read some guy at Sports Illustrated claim that Mike Bobo's running schemes were "outdated" and they needed to be more like Georgia Tech's. Another guy who clearly only saw Tech against UGA and Miami and didn't watch their other games this season.
He reminds me of the girl that keeps flipping her hair then looks around to see who is watching.
More of a troll than sports journalist .
Maybe “Dawgnation” is happy with him, but he certainly does more harm than good to the dawgs program from my seat.
We didn’t lose because of NDs offense. We lost because of us. Too many mistakes.
Also, letting Buster go was a mistake. We lost a lot of creativity when he and Monken left.
