Kirby Smart: Georgia football needs work after 37-10 win over Arkansas
Georgia football could not have played much worse than it did in the first half at Arkansas, and the Bulldogs still pulled out a 37-10 win
Comments
What could Kirby say.....except we need more work as a team....108 yds in penalties??? Hear Kirby: “We’re not going to beat many football teams playing like we played,” Smart said, proud of his team’s effort but dismayed by the slow start in the No. 4-ranked Bulldogs’ 37-10 road win at Arkansas." Kirby is spot on...you will be fortunate to beat nearly any team the way they played first half. But, I feel things will improve as the season deepens. QB still is the problem. And penalties. Right these two immediate challenges and UGA may again become an SEC tour de force. Bennett proved that it is the QB that generally controls the game. He knew what to do and executed! Well done Stetson!
why did J.T Daniels travel with the team and dress out, if he couldn't play? Seems a waste of a spot when you are only allowed 70 players for a road game.
Kirby should have been calling Jamie Newman at halftime and begging him to opt-in. I feel bad for Mathis as the O-line let him down big time. Trey Hill should moved be moved immediately to Guard and never see the center position unless Owen get injured.
@VenomGA , part of me thinks CKS was never worried about winning this game and played D'Wan and Stetson all the while saving JT for Auburn and not showing them how he operates...why else would JT travel and suit up and not play.
Here's the thing guys......Bennett played well against a bad team......However the fact is, that even if Bennett plays the best he can, the Dawgs will not make the playoffs with him as QB, We need Daniels to come in and step up....if he is out then we are in trouble.....Just a word here, Mathis looked about as bad as it gets......The question I have: "Kirby could not see how bad this guy is?"
It continues to mystify me why the oline can get no push. It was true last year (which was somewhat masked because we had the greatness of Swift) and it was true in this game. What is the point of elite olinemen if they can't cleave a clean hole?????
Why do we think athletes have to have the right hand size, height, stars, etc to be able to play football??? Someone posted that Bennett did "good" against a "bad" team, but we needed Daniels... I've seen great players that started with little hype. I guess hype sells and helps us "believe" it's a better thing. If Bennett can help us win, then play Bennett. He nearly had the same stats as Nix, Franks, and Jones (all highly recruited guys) playing half the time as them. What an awesome story... Qbs = tall 4star, 5star, 5star, short walk-on. Walk-on wins! #believerinbennett #underdawg #championship #keepyourchinupbennettsomeofusbelieve
I have been a Bennett fan since he arrived at Georgia the first time. I had a UT fan ask me who I would like to win the job at the end of last year, and I said, "Bennett!" He said, "Who???" I went back and watched his highlights from high school and the dude can play. When comfortable he has always been a really accurate passer, has a good arm, can move, smart, and won the respect of the team when our #1 defense couldn't stop him when on the scout team (and that's with much less talent and weapons around him). Give him a chance! #keeptheballinbennettshands
I watched most of the FLorida game, enough to see that they have a well oiled machine on Offense. THE D doesn't look as stout this year but there is no denying they have a 1st round QB and a 1st round TE in Pitts. We need to find an offense, like yesterday. We will need to score 37 to beat Florida this year.
I think our offense is much much better than we know. JT was dressed and on the sideline to see first hand how fast the SEC is, in real time, because the QB1 job is his. Monken’s offense needs a QB with a pocket first mentality and given what Stetson did with the keys to the car, I can only think JT will have the O on fire. That being said, I do think Bennet deserves to be QB1 this week. I’m not sure about Mathis, yet. Against a beaten down D, he only managed a field goal drive? I know Pittman wouldn’t have been too upset if Kirby let the kid have a TD, even if it meant running up the score four more. I don’t think he’s ready, yet.
I too watched the Florida game...I think you and I watched different games...
This team is going to cause more bleeding ulcers than constant use of Advil.
