Winner…UGA Football. Grit and resilience that kept me in awe of this young team. I thought it was over 1st qtr. Then Gunner seemed to take over and UGA was off to the races so to speak. The Vols are really better than 15th. UGA is a top 5 team. The defense sputtered but hung in there. Vols seemed to take Glenn Schumann to school, but the defense stood their ground when needed. Bobo graced UGA with a few up the middle plays but had some new wrinkles as well that caught the Vols flat-footed! TN had no idea how fast Humphrey and Phillips are.. Overall, the Dawgs kept getting after it and McCray sealed the deal in the end. I am a proud old Dawg fan.
WINNER: Me, I picked UGa over Tenn
LOSER: Me, I picked UGa +3.5…but the victory was worth the monetary lapse in judgement! Go Dawgs…
Correction: UGa -3.5
If only they kicked extra points in OT, darn the luck…
Raylen Wilson: Winner for that hit against Joey Aguilar. Had a nice sound to it.
Loser — Talking about players on teams other than UGA or Tennessee. I don't care about what 5-star QBs did on other teams in other games, Conner. You could have used that spot to talk about things that happened in the UT-UGA game. Don't care about DJ Lagway or Arch Manning right now. We've got time to worry about them, and now ain't it.
It seems that the most underrated rule in college football is that pass interference is not a spot foul after 15 yards. DB’s should be coached to tackle WR’s if they are beat downfield instead of giving up a long pass. Give them 15 yards and a new set of downs instead of a long completion or TD.
Hope the DB's dont allow Ryan Williams to abuse them again. He single-handedly won the game last year. After last Saturday, I must say my confidence is shaken.
@mitch_earl Again, wow. Based on what we have seen so far this year I would say that the UGA WR's are just as impactful during the game as the UGA RB's. The WR's can go 5 or 6 deep. Can't say the same for the RB's.
"Zachariah Branch, Colbie Young, and London Humphreys were average players or backups, with none of them reaching 600 yards". Typical fantasy football mindset. Whatever the stats were LAST year have absolutely no bearing on what happens THIS year. Not to mention that Branch was hurt last year, Young was suspended last year and Humphrey was new to the team with established players ahead of him last year. Tell me the difference between a team that has four 500 yard receivers and a team that has two 1000 yard receivers? Last year UGA was 12th in passing yards/game in a down(ish) year. None of the top 11 teams (those above UGA) made the CFB playoff.
"The last time that UGA actually had healthy WRs and TEs good enough to be high NFL draft picks"? Wow. EVERY team in the country plays every week w/WR's and TE's NOT good enough to be high NFL draft choices. They still play and produce. The only argument you could make for Bobo is that replays show UGA WR's running open. GS isn't seeing them. There is no question that Bobo's offense is unimaginative and predictable. You can do that when you have a dominant OL. UGA has not had that for a couple years but Bobo continues the run heavy "dive" play calls.
One thing you were right about is UGA D having trouble with duel threat QB's. Guess what? EVERYBODY has problems with a good duel threat QB. THAT'S WHY more and more CFB teams use them! Just look at how much GS's duel threat ability (marginal in your estimation in previous posts) has already benefitted the UGA O in the 1st 3 weeks.
What we learned again last week is that you have to be good and you have to be lucky to win. I would say that if GS ever figures out where the open WR's are running that the UGA O will produce more passing explosives than running explosives. But continually and predictably running between the tackles is not a recipe for making the playoffs.
I would LOVE to see CKS tell Bobo one week, "you cannot run ANY dive plays this week". Bobo might have to quit. I'm not sure he could come up with a game plan.
