Georgia future opponents Tennessee, Missouri and Florida gain momentum
NASHVILLE — Momentum is a big thing in college football, and three of Georgia’s next four opponents gained more of it on Saturday.

It’s hard to put a finger on what’s going on with this team. The offense sputters from time to time. Coaching, play calling or just poor execution? I don’t know the answers but same with the defense. Seems to be a lot of miscommunication, especially in the secondary. You can bet Florida, Missouri and Tennessee all have a score settle and will be more than prepared and ready to give us their best shot. It all begins now with this bye week. Hopefully our Dawgs will get things straightened out and impose their will, beginning with the Gators in two weeks. Go Dawgs!
After 6 incomplete, sloppy, and mediocre game performances and then one really good game against KY, I'd say these Dawgs have a good chance of losing at least one remaining regular season game going forward if we keep playing mediocre football. I guess it depends on which team shows up on each Saturday. If we manage to come away undefeated at the end of the regular season I will be pleasantly surprised. Overall, our offense looks better than the defense, and I'm glad to see our kicking game improving. On paper, we should beat all these teams, but in reality it appears we can't play up to our potential consistently one way or another.
Better never rests...
I was wanting UF, UT and UK all to get beat yesterday...that did not happen and oh how every talking head said how weak UGA's schedule was going to be.
Where are those fools now?
I just don't see how this UGA team doesn't get beat by one or 4 of these teams. We are a walking ward room of beyond unbelievable injuried players and now your best player is injuried. This team lacks first half motivation see every game minus UK, we are the stalked prey as much as Kirby says we are the hunters not the hunted...not true Kirby. And finally, we are due for a loss or two.if not more..law of averages wins out in these next 5 games.
Don't be surprised if UGA loses 1, 2, 3 or 4 of its last 5. Call me crazy but this UGA team has issues folks....and it starts with team leadership witch this teams lacks.
Other teams are improving, and we are not. Talking about complacent, are coaches getting complacent, especially on the defense side. Try different players, please. JDJ and Chambliss are too slow!!!
@BornADawg...you bring up valid points. I do think leadership and miscommunication are definitely part of the issues on defense. And honestly, we just don't have the impact playmakers in the front 7 on defense that we had the previous 2 years. And the speed of this defense is lacking. We aren't a swarming or havoc-inducing group. We struggle to get a pass rush without bringing the house. On offense, I really like what Beck is doing and if we can get some breaks on these on and off injuries then we might play better. After our dominating performance against the Wildcats I expected that trend to continue- especially against a team like Vandy. Now I'm scratching my head again wondering where did THAT team go?!? What should I expect from the Dawgs next time? Who knows...
All you behind the scene coaches all I am going to say is 24 games in a row and back to back championships. I trust Kirby and the staff and the players!!
“Now I'm scratching my head again wondering where did THAT team go?!?”
It went to Jacksonville to get ready for floriduh and the rest of the season…..
Folks, this was Vanderbilt! …..The real Dawg team played last week and will show up against floriduh in two weeks! No doubt!
Go Dawgs!
But remember, of those SEC games, we get two of those teams in Athens where our home crowd has risen to the task of impacting the game with noise for the last several years now….since the ND game at least!
One of those games is a neutral field setting where half the crowd is DawgNation come to roar…. another crowd-impact chance!
And the last game is in a stadium where we have only lost twice since 2009!!! When our overall record since 2009 is 14-3!!
I like our chances!
Sprinters run their absolute best times when the competition is keenest and most challenging. Most sports replicate this phenomena ...you know the heat is on and you perform accordingly..UGA seems to fit this scenario. KY and Vandy are prime examples,among others, earlier. UGA will be on target for FL. Hopefully, Brock B will be among those competing for UGA, and Truss. Milton could as well...as his re-injury seemed not that bad this time. Let's get behind our Dawgs as they hunt the rest of the season!
You never miss a chance to say something about your Vols. Same old schtick.
The combined records of Georgia's remaining opponents is 24–8… that's an 88% win percentage. I agree with Billy2131 below, that soft Georgia schedule ain't so lame any more. Better not sleep on a single one of them (including Georgia Tech), or it'll come back to bite you big time.
That said, I'm just not sure I agree with a lot of the gloom and doom posted by some in today's DN articles based on yesterday's performance against Vanderbilt. Statistically, Georgia totally dominated (e.g., first downs, yards gained, possession time, etc.)... if not for just a couple of boneheaded turnovers and bad/dropped passes, it would've been a complete blow-out with heavy substitutions in the fourth quarter. I know, those things happened, so begs some concern, but you gotta put that in perspective. And Kirby has a way of making those blunders huge learning/growth opportunities. Frankly, I'm less concerned about yesterdays performance than I am about the rash of injuries (of course inter-related), not the least of which includes 5 key starters on offense. Go Dawgs!
The Dawgs play to win and Kirby does not try to run up the score. We play to the level of competition and will beat all of those teams. Bowers it seems as a sprained ankle and hopefully will be back by the Florida game. Fans can be critical of the Dawgs, but the offense is doing well and the defense needs to communicate better. Vandy blatantly picked our DB on the second TD and we kneeled on the 9 yard line with a minute to play in the game. 44 to 14 was a very possible score and we would have covered. This team is very young and we do need our defensive line to be more disruptive.
I agree... Georgia just needs to keep doing what it's doing, which is win every ball game. I don't necessarily care about style points, and Kirby & Co. clearly don't either. Just like last year, and the year before that. Go Dawgs!
