    The announcers didn't mention Cackalacky's helmets.

    What shocked you or surprised you as you watched our team play South Carolina, or as you reflect back on the game?

    I expected Georgia to win by at least 17 points, so the final score was not a surprise. But there were a few.

    • How good South Carolina looked.
    • How SC dominated on both offense and defense for a while in the first half.
    • How little I saw of DRob.
    • How vanilla our offense was for the most part (but why change it if you're always up).
    • How quickly the fickle South Carolina fans left the game once their delusional hopes and dreams turned to smoke.

    Which was your favorite of these surprises? Mine was watching the SC fans leave and seeing the empty seats.

    This was a very good game for our team I think. Character building. Confidence building. Tough. Challenging. Physical. The game was - as Florida fans like to say, and as South Carolina fans now have my official permission to say - a lot closer than the scoreboard indicated.

    What surprised you?

    Go, Dawgs!

    Carolina coming out without a RB slinging it everywhere. They were really touting their balance this year.

    How well this team makes adjustments in the locker room.

    It’s a thing now.

    Pleased by Holyfield’s excellent game. Surprised Dawgs were not sacking Bentley.

    Bentley has remarkable pocket awareness.

    according to reports there were not really many tactical adjustments made - more like an attitudinal adjustment to get back to basics.

    I had mentioned earlier this week how this game could be the reverse of what happened to us with the Alabama blackout game - crowd hyped, team hyped, and a lot of emotional momentum coming in to the game. “There’s a new sheriff in town” kind of swagger... Then reality sets in within the first ten minutes, and the fans are left stunned. UGA is going to dominate the East for the next ten years the way Alabama has the West. Glad to be a Dawg.

    CKS will only be 43 in December. 10 year dominance seems a tad low. Maybe 20-25

    I can’t see him
    Coaching any other college teams at this point. I wonder if he would leave for an NFL hc job.

    The thought of him coaching in Athens for the next 15 years takes me to my happy place.

    Good point. How many coaches will come & go in Gainesville, Knoxville and all the other “villes” in the process? For those of us who endured the Goff and Donnan year’s and remember our fans tearing down the goalposts when we finally beat Tennessee at home, it has been a long time coming.

    I agree about the other college positions. Why would he leave? The only move that would make sense is Bama and CKS HAS BEEN A DAWG SINCE BIRTH. Who wants to go to the back to the land of cousin loving when you could coach for you and your wife's alma mater? And get paid just as much if not more?

    CKS has UGA on the way quickly to where it should have been along: at the top of the college football world

    We have to get better in the middle of the field in regards to the passing game but this defense is loaded with speed and talent. The offensive line is even more dominant than I expected. This team has the look. No doubt about it. Bama fans are nervous, I guarantee it.

    15 for 18 = 83%. One dumb pick. Maybe the reciever didn't read it the same as Fromm. Pretty good from my camo recliner.

    83% is what @nycdawg says QBs should average.

    to be fair, wasn't it 70%-80% ?

    Yeah, but felt the need to point Fromm played well outside of his interception.
