BA nailed it in Monday podcast - I didn't enjoy watching that game at all. I was in bad humor and was bad company. Nervous for 59.9 minutes. Just watched the highlights and it was so much better knowing the outcome - really allowed me to delight in our team's performance. One of the few games that is WAY better the second time around.

Yeah I was in the upper deck and it was a tough game on my heart. I thought we were taking an L when we were down 14 in the 4th. Not sure I would rank it above the Rose Bowl but it was dang close! Go Dawgs!
I'd put it ahead of the Rose Bowl.
As a mere freshman, you seem well ahead of the game. This avoidance of negative emotions and roller coaster emotions and hope vs despair is at the heart of my philosophy of recording games and only watching if we win - which is usually all of the time. Negative emotions send nasty chemicals through our body - not healthy. The more one wants the Dawgs to win, the greater the frustration/anger/despair one experiences.
To quote some minor philosophers "Gloom, Despair, Agony on Me."
Ummmm, that's a toughie...Hmmmm 🤔
I say its a tie between one and two.... Right!?
Go Dawgs!
It's right for me but I'm biased, I went to that Rose Bowl. I too went to that 2nd & 26 natty game and even tho we were on the heartbroken end of that game, I think it deserves a spot on that list too.
It was a game for the ages no doubt but it doesn't quite surpass the 2017 Rosebowl... you never forget your first!
I have to say, I disagree with this notion of not enjoying the game in the moment. Sure I was in knots the whole time, but it was extremely exciting! I was cheering like crazy with every big play we made... I cant say I didnt enjoy that because I loved it. Of course, I did think it was possible we were going to lose the game and was worried we might with every OSU score, but I also thought that going into the game. I never gave up hope that we would pull it out in the end, and sure enough...
Go Dawgs!
Watching the replay and after the scramble by CJ to the 31, Chris Fowler made the comment, "Never in his life has he ever had a game like this WINNING with his legs and arm". Which I guess is true, but he didn't WIN. It's like Fowler already declared that Ohio St was going to win. Thought it was a rather odd way of putting it.
Big ten announcers….and, yes, I include Fowler….
I find it amusing that the media has been calling this Strouds finest game....yet his team lost and the opposing QB had better stats.
These people are like the "weather forecasters " they make great money being wrong most of the time!!
I always suspected the Dawgs were God's chosen team. Now we know for sure.
-----------------
There were 12 seconds left in the UGA and Ohio State game. The snap was perfect . The ball placement was perfect. God then looked over at Vince Dooley and Lewis Grizzard and said, “ Hold my beer and ‘watch iss’.”
And… they all said Amen and Go Dawgs!
I just re-watched and the Dawgs didn’t play nearly as bad as I thought.
A BS pass interference gave them their second TD.
Their third TD was a gift from Stetson.
After that every scoring drive of OSU had a significant missed holding penalty.
Including CJ’s scramble on the final drive to get in FG range…Jalen Walker gets held two different times on the same play!
Second time around I did not think OSU deserved the win.
The Bullard call was the only one that went our way the whole game and that’s because it wasn’t a dirty hit. That was a horrible pass by CJ, of course your guys gonna get laid out if you throw a pop up.
All of us!
The interception was not on Stetson!
Watch Top Billin' on YouTube for his discussion and breakdown of the interception Stetson threw. It's exceedingly clear that the error was on KennyMac.
(This is free to watch video available to anyone and easily found.)
There are many things to clean up and improve. Just about all our players can improve. Stetson included of course, but not everything that initially looks like Stetson's fault is his fault.
I agree with you. The Peach Bowl is a lot easier and more fun to watch knowing the outcome. In some ways we were borderline terrible (defensive backfield especially), but a great many penalties were not called on OSU, and too many pass interference penalties came out way. Mostly we look a lot better on the replay.
But, that game is in the past. I'm very concerned about the next opponent and game.
TCU is a very good team. They deserve to be where they are. I doubt any knowledgable Dawg fan is taking them lightly. I'm sure Kirby & Company are well aware of the uphill battle we face.
Michigan made a lot of mistakes which helped TCU beat 'em, but we haven't exactly been a mistake free team recently. Again, Kirby is aware, but that doesn't mean our mistakes are easily fixable.
(No, I'm not saying we won't win the game. I am saying we could lose. It all depends on how we fix our mistakes, how good our game plan is, and how well we execute. We have the talent and determination and chemistry to pull off the win.)
Go, Dawgs!
Interesting discussion, but I'm not sure I would blame that on Kenny. Was he reading the defender, or was he just running the wheel? It looked like he was running a wheel to me. Had Stet not been pressured, I think he would have put some air under that ball and it might have been a TD. I though the OSU defender made a big mistake there by turning around when Kenny broke to outside leverage. The pressure and bad timing of the quick throw might be on Stet. He clearly thought it was based on his patting his chest after the Bucknuts scored on that series.
Maybe. Or maybe he didn't want to throw his RB under the bus. Maybe he was being a leader as in I'm the QB so everything that goes wrong is on me.
Go, Dawgs!
