I do not know if surprised is the right word. But I liked how the second team O-line looked at the end of the game.
And you really can't discount how loud that crowd noise was. I don't care who the QB is, it's going to take a few possessions to settle in and deal with that.
87 can’t get off the field because he mauls DBs in the blocking game.
I think that may be the reason Drob not playing more at this point
I was surprised by how many times the SC RT kept holding walker and never got it called. I saw several that werent even debateable....one of which was from behind. Walker would have probably had 3 more sacks if not for that dude
I thought the exact same thing. I also saw that down where he was literally tackled from behind. I kept waiting for the flag but apparently, the Ref didn't have one on him.
I was surprised about Kendal Baker’s fall. We kept hearing in camp that he was lining up at LT with the 2s so for him to lose the LG spot to Kindley and the backup LT spot was a surprise. I guess I’ll also include how mean Cade played. Kid is going to be a DGD and so glad he didn’t become a Vol.
Yeah, I expected at least four sacks, and I think we had one.
We should blitz more. Or, should we? Try a stunt, and it gets picked up or you leave a running lane open for a big gain. Blitz a LB or CB at the wrong time and you could be exposed to a big pass completion.
No, this coaching staff has figured out that you can play great defense without the high risk/high reward of blitzing. Hold your blocks at the interior line and run delayed blitzes with guys like D. Walker or Patrick. Brilliant.
53 rushing yards, 269 yards on 47 attempts is only 5.7 YPP, plus 2 INTs and at least 2 couple more that could have been. only gave up 10 points not in trash time. i'd say the defense did all you can ask of it. to be critical of thyat performance is to be nit picky at best.
I wasn't trying to be nit picky. Just illustrating the fact that you can run a great defense without many sacks to show for it -- something some fans have previously called for. But that was 2016 and this is 2018. Great job on D, and point taken.
my bad, i was trying to piggy back off your post, not dissagree with it. we are same same.
I'm surprised but probably shouldn't be by Georgia fans complaining about our performance against SC as if we should have done something - run better, pass downfield, sack their QB, play our freshman QB instead of the guy who took us to the NC game last year, etc. - something they think important.
Are we perfect? Will we improve? Can we beat Alabama? Can we beat Kentucky? These might be important questions, but we just did a major league stomp-down of a good team favored by numerous pundits to win the game.
Go, Dawgs!
where can one get one of them "pundit" jobs? Looks like it wouldn't be too hard to qualify for one. Main skill seems to be ignorance. I got that.
Bentley isn't a runner... but both last year and this year he has been slippery against us. We get pressure and he seems to be able to squirm away and get the ball out. Both games I remember seeing plays where I was thinking "we got a sack here"... and he just slipped away.
Bentley is a very good QB.
Our dominance was truly impressive. Going into the game and during parts of the second quarter I wondered if I'd gone too far out on a limb predicting we'd win by 17 points. South Carolina is a good team.
The tv pundits may be surprised at the beatdown we administered, but they are very good at pointing out how we did it. Excellent defense. Dominant O-line. Efficient passing. Excellent running game.
South Carolina is a good team and we flat out killed them. By half way though the third quarter there was nobody in the place who thought SC had any chance. Their fans were going home.
Most fanbases would love to have a team like ours. Too many Georgia fans are somehow disappointed.
I'm elated. I also trust the Kirby knows what he's doing and has a plan. Even if he doesn't as long as we win every game by one point that's all that matters.
Go, Dawgs!
My surprises have already been stated. I was also surprised Crumpton didn’t run on that one punt. I keep wanting to see him flash
