Georgia football report card: Bulldogs fail LSU test in SEC title game
ATLANTA — Georgia football failed to pass the test red-hot LSU presented in the SEC Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday night. The final scorecard read 37-10, and the contest was filled with red marks from the opening drive when the first play from scrimmage was a dropped pass deep down the field.

Secondary..F-.. 75% completion rate, 350 yards, 4 TD`s.. Pass efficiency rating was so high because DAWGS faced not 1 QB during the season with half of Burrows abilities..
UGA's Defense was supposed to be a match with LSU's Offense. Both ranked #2 nationally in the respective categories..so much for statistics
Enough of Georgia not having enough WR talent, heard it all year. Pretty sure UGA has two 5-Star players starting and some considered Blaylock a 5 as well. Also pretty sure only one other team had a more highly recruited WR lineup. Amazing they didn’t look good trying to do something they haven’t done all year in passing the ball. Fromm is the weak link and everyone sees it. It’s the style and system that is in place that delivered tonight. Works good against most other teams but not the elite. I like Fromm but he’s only good at best. No where close to NFL talent.
Ya know.... I’ve been wondering something all year as well. What is Kirby preaching all the time about his receivers.... physicality right? Well Hines ward, the most physical receiver while playing in the nfl has been begging for a job here at Georgia, why is he not here? Our receivers can’t get any worse! They all looked like Martrez Milner.
As I said before, there are about 128 FBS teams out there with 124 wishing they had our roster. Yes, we had injuries (mostly on offense) and yes, Burrows is a stud, no question, but to give up 467 yards of offense - we were not even competitive. Just how many 5 star players does Kirby need?
When you run a middle school offense against a Lamborghini team it’s not going to work out well. Coaching, coaching, coaching! With our recruiting we should have at least a couple NC’s in the last 20 years, but all this talent has been wasted because of hard headed or lack of understanding coaching. We just want one NC sometime soon but it seems so far away.
There should a few more F's in this grading.
I mean I don't think the sky is falling for the program, but let's face it. The team this year just isn't very good. And we likely overachieved.
Another season and more excuses why we came up short....AGAIN. Bama AND LSU now own us.
We've got so many holes in this program that I don't know where to start. Coaching, players, potential transfers, recruiting...all will be affected by the results of this season. We're going to have to basically start over and revamp our offense to something much more dynamic if we want to play with the big boys again. Fromm needs to move on.
Next season opens with Virginia and then Bama 2 weeks later. Kirby's got a LOT to do in the off-season. Let's win our 2nd tier bowl game and finish the season on a higher note than last year against Texas.
GO DAWGS!
If Blaylock's injury is an ACL and requires a year of rehab, it's difficult to find where the offense is going to come from next season with Swift out the door. We have proven this year that having only one consistent threat on the outside is a recipe for disaster!
Okay folks, we do not need to kill ourselves over this loss. LSU is a **** good team and we knew it going in. Burrow had a 70 something completion percentage going into the game and that's exactly what he delivered against us. No surprise. If anything, what we need is an open competition for the starting QB next year. We can't go into the season with the default that Fromm is going to start. After thinking about the last two seasons, here are a couple of observations I have made about the QB position:
So in conclusion, as Kirby has said repeatedly (but needs to mean this time) GA needs an open competition at all positions next fall and none more important than the QB. Along the O-line, every position should be up for grabs (esp. center). Finally the skill positions including RB and WR need to be wide open. The defense has some great players coming back. That side of the ball will take care of itself.
Everyone talks about drops, BUT if the throws were accurate and kept the receivers upright and in-stride it might be different. Simmons dropped his ball but it was thrown short after he had beat his man. Same thing for the throw to D-ROB. Fromm HAS TO GO!! If Stetson Bennett was given first team reps all week, Georgia would have scored at least 17.
Losing to a average at best South Carolina team was pretty sad. Not showing up against LSU in the SECCG is inexcusable. Looks like Mark Richt syndrome is back in full swing. Maybe someone needs to question the coaching talent.
