Georgia stock report: SEC title cause for celebration, Ohio State pairing cause for concern
ATHENS — Georgia football “checked the box” on Saturday and is ready for greater heights.

Meh Mike… Bennett’s stock is absolutely soaring after his performance Saturday. Pull up your pants, your bias is showing. 😬
It was a great game, but lets keep in mind that our pass defense was definitely exposed with 500 yards against us. Our Run D was great, but LSU had 6 players with more than 40 yards receiving and 2 with over 100 yards each. That's definitely something that needs to be focused on.
Luckily, everybody knows that Smart will be having nightmares of that and will be pushing them hard to correct that.
I have plenty of time to re-watch the game, but overall it felt like a solid win.
OSU is soft as a pillow, can stop the run and can't stop the pass, they've not played a defense like ours, I see a 45-17 game.
Unfortunately the blueprint for how to beat UGA is to throw caution to the wind and pass 80% of the time. THey had receivers running wide open all over the field, the only time we stopped them was when we had pressure, which wasn't much.
I felt like before we played LSU that they wouldn't be able to run much on us(right about that) and that their QB wasn't good enough to sustain long drives with accurate passing. I was wrong about him. He was very accurate even when throwing off one leg. Their backup guy was even more impressive buying time moving around and hitting his receivers instride most of the time with a strong arm, something we're not used to seeing at UGA. The ball going zipping through the air.
We all saw how KR was exposed against KY , how they picked on him, and LSU obviously saw the tape and followed the same pattern. What do you think OS is going to do?
Now do I think OS is going to win? Nope! But if they do, it will be because of our secondary's inability to even double team someone and stop them.
"Kendall Milton had his first 100-yard game, and he needed only 8 carries to do it thanks to his 51-yard run. Will Milton return to lead the UGA backfield?"
He needs to make a more informed decision than Elijah Holyfield did a couple of years ago. My opinion is the Senior year is the most productive year for all but a few exceptional players. Milton would benefit greatly from playing his Senior year in the UGA program, especially if he can showcase his ability to catch passes out of the backfield.
GO DAWGS!
Malachi Starks is a talented young player, but he got burned twice because he was trying to bait the QB into throwing a pick, but the QB threw better passes than Starks anticipated. And it cost us at least 14 points.
I’m hoping Starks was doing that because we had a big lead and would play differently in a closer game.
I can live with our DB or saftey blanketing a receiver and both are looking for the ball and their guy makes a better play on it or if it's thrown in such a way as their guy is the only one to make the catch. But what I hate is when our guys are close to the receiver and their backs are to the ball and they have no idea where the ball even is. That's a interference call or a TD or long yardage pickup just waiting to happen. I know they aren't coached to not look for the ball.
The criteria for seeding teams 2 to 4 should be different than the criteria for determining who makes the playoff. "Who's in" and "who's #1" should have a lot more to do with what you earned on the field. But the matchups should be determined by odds. The #1 seed should get to play the team with the lowest chance of beating them, or the team that they would be most favored against.
Bennett's stock is up? Soaring....274 yds passing, 4 TDs. What is it you are looking for Mike?
Yes, my concern vs OSU? Passing defense. They are a passing nightmare for most opponents...except Michigan, who targeted Stroud. Mike's feature photo at the lead-in of this article I hope was to make a point? Ringo needs improvement. We know! This photos was in very poor taste. Mike, this is UGA's win...not LSU's. I have heard you say openly and I quote: " I am not a Georgia fan." This is a Georgia DawgNation site, Mike. We are not objective here.....we ARE Dawg fans. Very subjective. You feature an LSU TD when UGA just scored a major victory OVER THEM after several years of SECC drought. Come on,man. That photo should have been Smith on a 95-yd TD run! Your bias is out there alright. I have wanted to say this for some time.
Starks is inexperienced. He hasn't figured out that the better teams have better QB's. Guys that can thread the needle. He has cost UGA a few times this year going for (and missing ) INT's instead of breaking up the pass. CJ Stroud/OSU will be using that in their game plan. He will get some hard coaching from CKS this week. Not sold on the new DB's coach. He must've been hired for his recruiting.
KRingo is eating way too much rat poison. His technique is lazy and his focus is lacking. The good news for UGA? UGA has multiple guys waiting in the wings for next season that look to be better coverage guys than Ringo.
Hopefully having a 4 wk break will allow McClendon, McConkey, AD and any other players sufficient time to fully recover from any injuries.
The Mailman (The Rollercoaster?) had one of his best games. Glad he was "on" saturday. He showed improvement throwing the ball over the middle. But for a little context. SBIV's 4 TD passes were 3 yds, 3 yds, 14 yds and 22 yds.
Somebody wanted to compare SBIV to Justin Fields against Clemson in the "20-'21 PO semi. Fields had 6 TD's. 45, 56, 12, 9, 17, 8. In other words JF's had 2 TD's that each were farther than all 4 of SBIV's combined. Plus 4 more TD's. And most of that was with broken ribs. That should end that discussion.
Would love to see a breakdown of SBIV's completion stat's by 0-10 yds, 11-20 yds , 21-25 yds and over 25 yds like they do in the pro games. That would be a very interesting analysis. You can bet that OSU is looking at that analysis when they create the defensive game plan.
I’m very concerned………..for Ohio St. fans jumping off buildings when our Dawgs go into Benz Stadium and beat them like a drum !!! Go Dawgs !! I Believe !!!
Doesn’t matter who we play. Play to win. They’re good? Great. We’ll see a good game. Lose? Tip your cap and get better. Beat ‘em, and let the Dawgs leave no doubt who owns the junkyard.
Ohio St. doesn’t play in the SEC. They had a Very tight game vs. the only other ( other than Michigan) good team in the Big Flop and that was Penn St. Then when they played Michigan they got curb stomped. People quickly bring up injuries to try to shore them up. So the Dawgs haven’t had injuries ?? Yeah right. But the Dawgs have won 13 straight games. And in the SEC at that !! And utterly curb stomped an OR team that turned out to be pretty decent in the very first game when things were totally unknown for Both teams. Yeah, Yeah, I’ve seen the slow starts and sloppy play. No, No, I don’t like those. But the other thing I saw 13 Straight Times was our Dawgs go on to Over Come the slow and sloppy times to WIN !! All the stats in the world won’t make a difference vs that W !! So When our Dawgs go on to Win Another Natty, the losers can sit around and say But, But we had better stats !! Some things can’t be measured in stats, That’s these Dawgs !! Go Dawgs !!!
