Keep the starters in and press hard until there is a 28 point lead, then put in the backups and continue to try to score. If the other team can’t stop our second string, too bad. Style points matter, especially with our weak schedule. We can’t just win, we have to dominate.
Get to 30-40 and put the backups in. No need to get into the 50s unless the backups are just killing it.
Style points won't matter, as long as we win comfortably.
I still say this is a game of value as a training, tune up and evaluation tool for the most part. I'd wager that's how Kirby will coach it.
A close game against UMass or Vandy will not go over well with the voters. I'm afraid "comfortable" won't be enough if we end up with a loss on the record.
A 30 pt win in the opening game vs a 50 pt win won't matter in my opinion.
Strictly talking about Austin Peay. Pouring it on depends on situation and time. If less than 5 minutes in game left and up by 50 we go for 3 passes inside the 20 to get a score that is pouring it on. If our Oline pushes them around and our RB's run free then its fair game. Honestly feel the same for any opponent we are facing. Pouring it on doesn't occur until minutes left in game. Coaches are free to pass and run normal scheme til that point .
True. You gain nothing by hammering the cupcakes. But a 50pt win at fla or Auburn would look awesome when voters are trying to pick the best 1-loss team. Remember when we barely squeaked by Nichols a couple of years ago? That can NEVER happen again.
I also remember 2008 when we started out preseason #1, then allowed GaSo to score 21 points and next week we were #2. Then we squeaked by SC 14-7. By week 4 were 4-0 and had been jumped by USC and OU in the polls who were absolutely blowing teams out. We went from #1 to #3 because we weren't destroying anyone.
@Acrum21 As opposed to fowl, lizards, tigers of any kind, "bald eagle!," yellow cool weather apparel, everybody's related on Rocky top.....wanna beat them...not in a nice way! #STEAMROLLA!
FYI You @WCDawg are focusing on the first game. The OP mentioned the schedule. The topic is what UGA does for the season with regard to points. Almost everyone else is answering for the season.
No need to run up the score, but no need to change the game plan either no matter the string that is in there.
Payed to stop us and payed for a Uga “potential” win
I say once we are up good let the younger guys get in and do as much as they can do.
We all are in agreement - play young guys and see what happens. When we play against SEC schools, bury them. Make a statement that there’s one power in the east - UGA.
