Georgia confident Alabama loss won’t beat them again: ‘Win the game’
Georgia football takes on Auburn this Saturday.

“We don’t really believe in moral victories,” Greene said.
Amen to that brother.
UGA's second halves against a tired Clemson defense and an Alabama playing not to lose versus their first halves all season plus the entire game against Kentucky makes me think that the latter is closer to reality than the former. Here are the problems.
Part 2 of below. Here is the reality that folks are avoiding. Early in Smart's tenure, he chose Jake Fromm over QBs who could get the ball downfield. As WRs need to develop and show downfield receiving skills to become high draft picks and succeed in the NFL, the only big time WR recruit that UGA has landed since is a guy that the other contenders backed off due to grades (George Pickens, who notably WAS NOT a first round pick). Later on Smart chose Stetson Bennett IV over QBs who could run a pro-style offense and then put in a gimmick spread offense for Bennett. UGA hasn't signed a big time RB since. If you don't like Beck, Arch Manning and other big time QBs didn't like what UGA's offense either.
For years a steady stream of WR, RB and QB recruits avoiding UGA because they don't like the offense. UGA fans have called them selfish prima donnas and claimed that they would do fine without them, but this is the result: an offense built with lower profile recruits and transfers who showed they weren't difference makers at their last schools.
So it isn't Bobo. Name the OC who can build a championship offense without difference-makers. Don't say Monken. Without Bowers, Monken didn't even win the SEC East. As for the Beck bashers, Bennett was the QB that year. Lost to Bama 41-24. Kirby has to prioritize recruiting WRs and RBs as much as he does pass rushers and safeties, and that means an offense that big time talent wants to play in. Not an offense designed to let whatever QB he likes succeed at everyone else's expense.
That's what they said after last year's loss to Bama in the SECCG…. Show me…. Talk is cheap….
I miss the UGA death machine.
this team has two options. Get better or let those bammers get what they want, a season without having to play us again.
As the shirts in the program say
“Nobody cares, work harder!”
We will never be able to go back and in do the first half but what UGA can do is let these last two games galvanize them and re engage the work ethic and drive that established that winning streak.
As a fan, I can’t think of anything worse to allow Alabama than the satisfaction of ending our streak. But what would be glorious is a rematch where we play the whole game like the second half.
Only time will tell
Funniest SEC shorts to date albeit at our expense.
A few thoughts:
Yet Bennett helped win 2 National titles, something NO UGA QB has ever done..not even your personal favorite QB's, some who transferred multiple times and were still an average QB at their new school(s). Why?Because they were overrated QB's coming out of High School, not because of any coach. You seem to know how to correct every problem the DAWGS have. Maybe UGA should've hired you instead of Kirby. You weren't hired because Kirby knows much more about football than you, and better than you how to correct the problems. How many teams have you coached that won a National title? That's exactly what i thought, ZERO. Nothing but a monday morning QB with all the answers..
It is pretty simple. If we can learn how to play the first half like we do the second half then we would probably be unbeatable. So, perhaps there is a first half practice that we have been missing. LOL

Dominic Lovett was not a "3rd or 4th receiver" as you stated. He started 12 games for Mizzou and lead them in receptions and receiving yards in 2022. As far as running back recruits, while we have missed on some, Nate Frazier was highly sought after and any school would have loved to have signed him.
When you don’t win the first half it’s the game plan .
Dawgs showed more grit than you could have asked of them versus Bama.
The season did not end on Saturday.
Go Dawgs
Sic 'em
2. Can we please immediately retire the phrase, "we don't believe in moral victories." We get it. No one wants to say they're happy to have come back and made a game out of a debacle. Fine. I'll say it. Would I have MUCH RATHER have won the game outright? Of course. But am I glad that most of the country is talking about how Georgia didn't give up, made a game out if it and that the game has been labeled a proverbial, "instant classic" instead of an embarrassing blowout? Yes, I am. Go Dawgs!
Dawgs CAN go on to have a successful season and it starts this Saturday !! Go Dawgs whup up on them Tiggers !!
