Georgia sputters early, overcomes miscues in 49-21 win over UAB
ATHENS -- Georgia football was not completely ready for prime time on Saturday night, even if the scoreboard suggested otherwise.

This is a recording: TONS of Work to do and a Short time to get it done. Get the ball to Bowers as often as possible. Thank You !!
Sputter is not even close to the correct adjective. When I see players walking before plays are over, letting up on pass routes, not finishing plays on defense, I see a team not only with a lack of leadership but a team that just does not have the drive or mental toughness to win championships. The effort tonight especially in the trenches was inconsistent at best & pathetic at worst. With the continued slow starts & unenthused play, every remaining game will be a challenge for the Dawgs. Dawgs need to quit thinking about winning another championship & just get ready for Auburn who would just love to end Georgia’s run!!
Beck did not miss Smith. Ball hit him right in his hands and he dropped it. 550 yards and 49 points and you guys complain. Best record in first 100 games in SEC history. 2 straight natty’s. Good grief. Go root for Missouri and book your Nashville rooms for the music city bowl.
needed a little more defense today. great offense game
@MikeGriffith this was lazy reporting (and I more often agree with you) “included missed throws to wide-open receivers Arian Smith.” This was a perfect pass from Beck from anyone’s account. AS just missed an easy TD catch. Beck had maybe 3 bad passes all night and 2-3 other drops. Bigger problem right now is Oline consistency and lack of urgency/intensity from our defense through 4 games. Beck has done exactly what he needed to do over 4 games abd that is grow in confidence and make smart decisions. He has not been perfect but has played well overall.
Others have said it but here is another “chime in”, Beck absolutely did NOT miss Arian Smith. That was a perfect pass that the kid dropped. There were more drops than that one.
Someone said said last week or the week before that we didn’t need McConkey in a previous win because our receivers did a good job. That was flat wrong because a receiver like McConkey would have caught both and scored on at least one of them. We absolutely must have McConkey in the lineup.
Yep, Beck did quite well and I was proud of Bobo for calling more aggressive play calling. Unfortunately, missing easy catches is something that we've had in the past and hope will no longer be a problem as we continue to bring in the top ranked WRs.
In terms of QB play, Vandagriff did decent and Stockton was very exciting... BUT that intercepted pass was nice and on target, but it was a poor decision that could've/would've easily been a Pick 6. That's something he'll learn over time, but is a clear indication he's not yet at 1st string ready.
