Interesting bit of side trivia:

Fromm and Tua have the same number of completions. Fromm has 5 more attempts. Tua has 5 more TDs

Is the 5 more TD’s because of a longer YPA? If Tua has a significantly larger YPA, that would be something to envy much more so than the 5 more TD’s. Both teams have plenty of TD’s to spare.

Hard to say, they do have 100 more passing YPG than us total (which is a lot,) some I think it may be scheme related as well as the fact that they throw well into the 4th quarter with Hurts.

But I think the completions/attempts comparison is interesting because they are viewed as having a more "open" offense than we do, regardless of how accurate that is. Whatever the cause, I think they're succeeding more early and being aggressive later.

I just looked it up, 13.19 for Tua, 10.14 for Jake. I don’t have a feel to know how big of a deal that is. And I suspect it’s not really enough to go off of because statistics in football aren’t as telling as they are in other sports.

Here’s the links if you want to look at more stats.

Bama: http://www.espn.com/college-football/team/stats/_/id/333
UGA: http://www.espn.com/college-football/team/stats/_/id/61

I could care less about the extra 100 yards a game, that’s just Bama running up the score. I prefer the classier way Kirby handles it and just runs the ball at the end of the game to wind down the clock.

Bama is scoring almost all of their points in the first half though.

Not really,
They scored 23 in the second half vs Louisville after being up 28-0 at half,
They scored 17 in the second half against Arky St after being up 40-0 at half
They scored 13 in the second half against Ole Miss after being up 49-7 at half.
They scoured 14 in the second half against TAMU after being up 31-11 at half
They scored 7 sun the second half against LA after g=being up 49-0 at half.

I’d say they are running up the score a bit.

Oline has to do a better job of holding blocks longer to throw the ball deep. Maybe we open up more when they come around. Sacks are drive breakers.

@WCDawg solid posting, good read. I like you sometimes.

A TE has missed quite a few blocks that let to sacks and hurries.

But to give him credit, he had a pancake block against Tennessee last Saturday in the run game.

He's game, he's just not skilled at pass-pro.

Agreed, I'm surprised at how much of a gap there has been with Jackson Harris out. I had been undervaluing him.

So I created this based on some rough stats this morning for comparison:

It focuses on starting QB stats only vs all rushing stats (it's hard to find out which rushes we're done when the non-starting QB is in the game,) so it's a little inaccurate on the rush percentage, but close enough.

If/when UGAs pass offense does click, look out.

Edit: it also shows that OSU and OU aren't as pass happy pass people think.

I had the idea when he was signed that Jackson is so good at blocking and has such a good frame he might have been a good candidate for converting to an OL.

To put this into perspective, I coach a middle school team and we had 3 passes get caught at more than 20 yards in the air in one quarter(we are just an average team). Georgia should be able to have more than 2 in 5 games.

No doubt, it's a revealing stat.

Bama runs the ball a lot. when they pass, they complete more (%wise) than anybody and seem to be close in YPA. This chart tells me to bet on Bama.

Their numbers will slow down, a little bit lol, maybe not much but they usually dip a little once conference play starts.

@WCDawg @moos

Great stuff here. The perception of our offense relative to the other tops schools vs what is real is pretty revealing when looking at the stats. Looks like we are just lacking a few SportsCenter type highlight plays on the deep ball to correct that perception.

Edit - @WCDawg the above comment doesn't pertain to your stats, except for the great stuff part. The lack of completions 20+ yards is disturbing. We will have to throw farther down field against LSU. If we don't, LSU's team defense and team speed will shut down the short passing game we've fallen in love with this season.
