Complimentary football, ya'll. Simple as that. That is why UGA persevered to win! Gotta love it! GO DAWGS!!!
From the start Stockton was off. Off on his reads, off with his runs and just off. He was out of sync and Bobo lost something with his play calling. Lets just say we regress a bit, but look to improve. That was just bad last night and I don't think it was even close.
clock management at the half was atrocious.
@TIMLAW10 Yeah it was. UGA should have gotten a TD on that drive.
It was more on Bobo than GS. Though it was one of GS's worst showings. That is concerning at this point in the season. How many times did Bobo call a play for McCray (6' 240 lb) to try and run wide on the GT D? Why that's BRILLIANT! It really seems like Bobo makes his play calls w/o knowing who is in the game. Having Cash Jones on every 3rd down package is so predictable it is almost resigning yourself to a punt. Running GS so much with a potential SECCG in a week was also BRILLIANT! GS took a beating and landed hard on his back twice that i saw.
GT D coord outcoached Bobo. Makes me.wonder how much he worked with Faulkner on his defensive game plan.
Well said
Kirby is not good in the 2:00minute drives with time outs. He runs the clock down too much and leaves us with limited options.
@UGADad20:
It is funny. Had McCray run up the middle every single time and it not worked, the "blame Bobo" crowd would criticize him for running obvious plays instead of "being creative" and "trying to fool the defense" like Faulkner. Also, we all know that the person responsible for Cash Jones' playing time is Kirby Smart, not Bobo. The Stockton running plays were called because GS and the WRs weren't making plays through the air. Plus the reverse handoff to Dillon Bell failed: Bell got tackled behind the line of scrimmage. And stuff like this "GT D coord outcoached Bobo. Makes me.wonder how much he worked with Faulkner on his defensive game plan" gets me. Even when Faulkner's offense only puts up 6 points - because the other 3 were gifted by the Stockton INT - you still find a way to give him credit. UGA fans like Faulkner better than Tech fans do. If Faulkner is so great, why hasn't any other program hired him away as a head coach or OC?
Reality: Stockton didn't play well. He was inaccurate and often never spotted guys that were open. Branch aside, the WRs didn't help. They didn't get much separation against GT's zone, win against the DBs on contested balls plus there were at least a couple of critical drops. When Stockton did throw a well-timed and placed ball they were beaten by the defender. Stockton and the other guys on offense were bailed out by individual efforts by Nate Frazier and Zachariah Branch plus with the collective effort by the defense. And even with that monster game by Frazier - by recent UGA standards … I remember when 110 yard days were routine at UGA - he was still frustrated by his inability to break a long run. And fascinating that you blame Bobo and not Stockton for the failure to get the TEs involved in the passing game. In 2023 and 2024, Beck got the ball to Bowers, Delp, Luckie and Yurosek plenty.
By the way: Tech chose that defense because they gambled that UGA wouldn't be able to make big passing plays downfield. Expect anyone who has time to prepare for UGA - as it sure seems that Tech took the entire month of November off to prepare for UGA because they certainly didn't prepare for NC State, Pitt or even Boston College - to use the same strategy.
