@deputydog Yeah that throw to Delp was a real head scratcher. It never had a chance.
Ole Miss wins without Kiffen (always felt Lane was overrated). I'm sorry, but the secondary is mediocre and inconsistent (always felt Everette was not much of a tackler). Where was the Offensive line? I thought Kirby was a great 2nd half adjuatment guy? Don't forget that 7 of those points were from the Defense (yeah, but I atill stand by my Everette comment). Recruiting has always been a puzzle for me (I think RandomFan summed things up pretty well there). Out of 8 CFB quarter final games in past 2 years, only 1 bye team (Indiana) won. I'm a JMU grad (yeah, Cignetti's previous school) but my daughter went to Georgia and I will always be a Dawg fan...just feeling a bit disappointed because I REALLY wanted to see them play Miami (I assume Kirby knows Beck's flaws). Oh well...next year!
You can say whatever you want about getting the bye but the UGA defense that played against Ga TEch and Bama was not the same defense that was out there last night. THere's not a chance in the world that if we had played Ole Miss the week after BAMA that we give up 39 points. We actually gave up more points last night than when we beat them and eveyone felt like the defense was trash the 1st 3 quarters of that game! Ole Miss average scoring 37 points in 2 games with us and 42 points in two gamews against Tulane! Just 5 points difference! I wonder how many 4 and 5 stars Tulane has?
Y’all need to lay off Gunner. Dude is straight up bad-ass. He knows the system, is smart, and is tough as nails. Did his line always let him work to the best of his abilities? No. But. Bo back to the TD where he works a perfect fake and rushes for a TD. Tell me that wasn’t magic!!
Did Chambliss do well against our D last night? Sure. So? That was one game. We’re not going to win the N every year. The result of this game was definitely not on Stockton. 1-2 bad calls (though it was relatively even, but with different stakes - yards cs TDs), 1 botched play, and one missed kick and things are different.
The 3rd Q was lame, and I can’t make sense of it, but that wasn’t on GS.
Debbie Downer (forgot your tag, and don’t care to scroll down to it; I’m not convinced you’re not an AI-driven Florida fan) mentioned how off GD’s 50-yd pass was, but failed to mention all the interference that happened along the way. Meh. We’ve seen all season how accurate GS can be, AND the fact that he has an arm.
Folks are talking out of their feelings right now. Whatever. Connor’s C+ is dumb. You can’t have ten grades in the Bs, two canceling each other out in the Cs, and get a C+. As a teacher, that’s not how grades work.
Dawgs dawgged, but were inconsistent. Having our best D player stolen from us by a bs targeting call, Tolliver snapping what should have been an fake, and having Frazier go down just before we needed an end zone rush drove some thick nails.
We barely lost against what should really be the second best team in the SEC (we still outscored them) at the last second in a high-stakes game. It was a good season.
Injuries and poor play calling on both offense and defense contributed to Georgia’s disappointing loss to Ole Miss in Thursday night’s Sugar Bowl College Football Playoff quarterfinal game. To read more about the game, check out my latest Junkyard Blawg.

Sorry, buddy, but you know you're you're speaking out of your feelings and out of your butt. Give it a minute. Sit on it. Then name three reasons you'd put Gunner between Carson Beck and red-headed-what's-his-name…
The consistently questionable grading of the receivers is perplexing to me. You know why Sacovie was the only other receiver to catch a pass? It is because he is the only other receiver to have one THROWN TO HIM.
It is the same way most every game. You have an incredible weapon in Bell and sure hands in Humphreys yet you avoid them like the plague. You don’t pass across the middle and opt for a sideline screen or a bomb. Terrible, terrible play calling.
Yet, even with the lack of ability to rein in the backyard quarterback, if Frazier doesn’t get hurt (which looked deliberate, to me), we win that game at the end.
And “F” for the Dawgnation staff for setting up a non-working comment section during the game and then disappearing without anyone ever checking to see if it is working.
Story links that don’t work (two in one week), including one that was a simple roundabout link to the homepage (Beck/Miami story), and twice with comment sections that give missing component errors, meaning no comments. You guys may do good reporting but who would know?
I haven’t seen real accountability from Kirby—only the ritualized “that’s on me” after the damage is done. Accountability isn’t a phrase; it’s action. And the action that’s missing is surrounding himself with elite support again. This staff is not on the level of what won national championships. He needs a new defensive coordinator, a new offensive coordinator, and upgrades at key position groups to improve preparation, in-game management, and play calling.
The results show it. Recruiting momentum is slipping. And when your offensive coordinator goes on national television and says his primary mission is to “develop men of character,” it raises a hard question: since when did that come at the expense of developing champions?
The contrast is glaring. This program was sharper, more ruthless, and more innovative when Monken and Lanning were in the building. Kirby built something special—but sustaining it requires hard choices, not platitudes.
