I agree. Most of the biggest plays have come off play-action, which was set up by the run game. Bama will try to take the run away and force Bennett to pass more often. Georgia needs to establish the run for 150 at a minimum. If they get 200- plus, it's game over for Bama.
I'm not too concerned. Kirby has the better OC. Monken will have a creative game-plan. I expect to see a few new plays in this one. GOOODAWGS!
"...he has one of the longer yards per pass averages in college football last I checked."
Ahem. Don't you mean the team has one of the longer averages? Per your own argument?
Good point! 😉
What I recall about the SECCG rematch with Auburn is that Georgia used creative plays to get its backs the ball on the outside and allow them to turn the corner, thus avoiding Auburn’s defensive front.
THere has been an approach this year that we're going to run the ball and man handle the opponents defensive front. We have done that in years past. This year except for the weakest of teams we have struggled to run effectively especially early on in games, even though the first 3-4 series in the game we tried to bully people, until it didn't work, and then it's like, to blank with it, "we're throwing it." And often times easy as 1, 2,3 TD!
I'm not saying just be a passing team and forget the run, that's crazy!..I'm just saying, let's be more creative early on, and not go run up the middle, run up the middle, now it's 3rd and 8 and you're facing the blitz.
IMO we need to get out front of BAMA and put some doubts in their heads. I don't think the usual slow start approach of scoring 3 points or 7 points in the 1st half like we did against the better teams is going to be good enough. But that's just me. I think we have a dynamic passing attack. It's better than our running attack.
I know it isn't the conservative approach, but let's get the passing game going early on.
