Inside the Georgia locker room as Bulldogs grapple with a season that ended too soon
âI just reflect on how much we, you know, how long we came,â linebacker CJ Allen said. âA lot of people doubted us and said we wouldnât make it this far, you know. But we had big goals, we came out short, man. So proud of this team and the growth, you know. Proud of the seniors, the way they lead the team, man.â

Couldn't put them away.
Once again, we played a very talented team that wanted it more than we did…..things observed: Trinidad Chambless is the best QB in college football, you can't throw a pass through William Echoles, Ole Miss receivers catch balls like a junkyard magnet catches crushed Fords, Kewan Lacy is one gutsey, run through the pain RB, Pete Golding will do for OM like KS has done to Georgia and any coach leaving to follow Lane Kiffin is a fool….."Hotty Totty" to the NATTY!
Won't it be funny if Ole Miss wins it all, and Lane Kiffin watches from his recliner at home. Imagine having family ask if you ever won a National Championship, and you have to explain that you quit before the big game.
Until Georgia learned to be aggressive on both sides of the ball, especially the offensive side, they will continue to be in games like the ones this season and last night. They had opportunities to put Ole Miss away, but Georgia played not to make a mistake before the half, tried not to give up the lead after the half, and let's not talk about the last offensive series when they played to leave time on the clock instead of just playing to score a touchdown. They played for the tie and looked to play in overtime.
totally embarrassing. Until KS gets a OC this team is one and done in a playoff situation. $13,mill a year and totally outclassed and out coached. It’s ok KS and the coaches got their incentive bonuses for making the playoffs.. totally frustrating.
Can’t understand why Georgia can’t find one of these QBs. We chase these these 5 stars and get beat by a Jr college transfer.
Bobo went into the fetal position again after halftime again until it was too late. Broyle finalist? No, he is a bad joke. Fire him.
Back-to-back seasons of losing after a BYE.
Poor coaching decisions, conservative play calling (especially the final 2 minutes of the 1st half), and better QB play by Chambliss lost this game.
Is playing school yard football the best we can do? Because that seems to be our mode of operation. Are we satisfied with what we saw last night? Because this isn't the first time we've played this kind of game.
Gotta figure out a better way forward.

On another note, Ole Miss is the only SEC team left. The SEC has officially lost its edge and dominance. NIL and the portal are the main reasons. B1G most likely to claim their 3rd National Championship in 3 years. All I know is It won't be the SEC.
I don't know at what point Bobo and Kirby decided to go conservative. We got the ball back with about 2 minutes to go in the 1st half and I thought score here and score at the beginning of the 2nd half and we are home free. The offense did the complete opposite by botching the end of the 1st half and completely wetting the bed in the 3rd. The game was lost there. For whatever reason Stockton made poor reads all night. He chose the worst option the majority of the time. The deep balls to no where did not even give the reciever a chance. He left the pocket early for no reason a lot. We got early seasin Stockton in this game and it showed all night. Yes, he made plays but with the poor game management and Bobo completely lost, we were in a dog fight. I will say this not as an excuse but just the truth. This was not the same team that played almost a month ago. Kirby needs to do some soul searching because the top talent is going elsewhere and he needs to decide how to go forward. The one thing about Saban, you could admire he adapted and know it is time for Kirby to adapt. Does he want to be the model program or does he want to win? Money is the name of the game now and he better go gets some and learn how to spend it to stay in the top 4.
In modern football, you have to have a good QB not a great one and good receivers. Stockton is a ok QB. He has a ceiling. Everything around he has to be good or great. Our O line was ok. Branch is a good reciever probably great because he catches everything and makes something out nothing. The rest of the recievers were ok excluding Young because this was his first game back. I thought Frazier was good, but the rest of the RB were just ok. They under utilized the tight ends all game. My point being Bobo has to help and do his part and he did not. The Ole Miss game plan was to take away Branch and yet he still almost beat them. In both games that we lost, we never executed enough to win those games. Where do you place the blame?
Kirby has a Dabo problem. Great program with great coordinators, then loses those coordinators to head coaching jobs. The next guy up is just an average coordinator, sometimes very good, sometimes very bad. Average. No one wants to hire those coordinators. You are stuck with them. And Kirby doesn't, can't, won't fire them. The next guy could be way worse. Saban halfed his exposure, because he was able to keep Kirby for years longer than he should have, which meant he only had to fill the OC role every couple years. When Saban finally lost Kirby, he started losing ballgames. With NIL and transfer portal, Saban had enough and left. Now Bama is a dumpster fire. Kirby and Dabo don't know how to solve their problem. Kirby's coordinators are B plus range. Throw in **** fourth down calls, and you lose. Co- Coordinators are the solution.
I’m not normally a bobo basher, but he didn’t call a creative game. We gave up the first two possessions by calling one rushing play each on a team that would later let us run through them quite easily. Then, when ole miss adjusted to our successful running, we didn’t counter with our own adjustments. Maybe it’s the building. I commented last year that a significant failure of bobo was calling three consecutive pass on our next to last possession of the first half, when we were having some success running the ball. I won’t mention the 4th and 2 and our last possession as those have been beat up enough. I really hope our LB’s follow in the footsteps of past greats and elect to run it back one more year.
Let me be clear, Kirby has enough equity in UGA that he will never be questioned, but he does need to think about what is required for UGA to take that next step. There has been late 1st half time management and execution issues. I am not talking about just last night. Is that Kirby or Bobo? Either way Kirby is in charge and needs to fix this. From a defensive standpoint is where this hurt the most, I thought we had taken a step forward only to be let down by execution in the end. No DB can defend for ever, but you absolutely keep everything in front of you. We did not do that on Ole Miss last drive. How is it possible there is no safety over the top. I had a flash back to 2017 Natty on that play. As soon as he caught it I knew the game was over. How is that possible at UGA that we don't execute basic prevent? The goal at that point was to get to OT. Again how? Regardless of how poor we were before that last minute we just needed to survive.
Except, your QB needs to elevate those around him and Stockton needs to be elevated. He is an ok QB not good and definitely not a great QB. I am not bashing Stockton. He is what he is and I will always root for him if he puts on the shirt, but he make poor decisions all night.
all these coaches and players at all these games look absolutely drained and some of them relieved. The season and recruiting and the transfer portal is doing on number on them. The month off is and always has been a head scratcher. The players are with the teams anyway. No one does any school work. Just play playoffs games and get this thing over with. Till next season.
