"Winner: Kirby Smart
Smart outcoached Texas’s Steve Sarkisian."
Yea, he did and I can't tell you how satisfying it was to watch! CKS would probably be the first to tell you that it was a successful effort by his entire staff, but his reaction to the onside kick was priceless. I'm not sure how I would have felt about it if it didn't go our way, but I am sure that he was able to make the call based on how his defense was in control of the game.
GO DAWGS!
You can't convince me that Thorson wasn't made aware of the Texas return man and was asked to forfeit distance for height. Sometimes you just leave well enough alone.
comments on social media were staying Georgia only beat texas with trickery. So texas fans can’t handle that they were out coached and out played. I would like to see Terry go in the TP and come home to play at Georgia. The dude could be a beast.
I loved the reaction to the special team coach after the onside kick. Priceless, plus Sark had a look of..we are done. They knew they couldn’t stop Georgia offense which they didn’t
Loser, Mathew McConaughey. He isn't a coach. He isn't a player. Why do we have to see him every time Texas plays UGA?
And yes, the punter needed a change after the second bad punt.
Bobo came close to loser after they scored twice and he went back to runs up the middle. He woke up in the 4th quarter. Georgia is a decent running team, but that O line isn't a mauling group yet. They can put it on Miss State, but not big boy U. Not yet.
Winner, Gunner. Wow. Growing every game. The dawgs are streaky at the moment, wildly dangerous in some moments, slower in others. To be expected with a young team. Very fun to watch.
The OL has got to reach down and find what it takes to run on the better defenses going forward to be successful in the playoffs IMO. It is just a big part of the Dawgs offense. I think Ohio State, Notre Dame, and maybe Bama have defenses that are hard to run on. They have got to keep trying to get better, but I get it about Bobo doing at the wrong times. All in all I thought the Dawgs have looked light years better in the last two games in every aspect except punting.
"All Right, All Right, All Right"…….not a coach, not a player, but an alum who is a very financially well off actor….which to the powers that be in Austin means money to buy players in hopes to return to national prominence…..should have stayed in the SW Conference.
WINNER: The Dawg coaching staff…..you can have 100% 5 stars on offense and defense but if those players don't play at an elite level as a TEAM, you'll never be better than mediocre…..game plan, schemes, play calls at the right time executed to perfection, and a QB that is gifted, privileged, and balls-cy enough to change plays as situations arise…..now that Dawg Fans is a TEAM that will make a Championship run……I'm now changing my Game Day Jersey to # Luckie 7!
Winner..ALL of the DAWG fans!
My theory is that when your university is located in a cesspool radical city like Austin, it rubs off on the players, the team, and their attitude…. Looks like it's all about those Benjamins to the Shorthorns. That, plus their fan culture is absolutely devoid of culture or reality as witnessed by their juvenile and dangerous throwing of about 100 bottles full of liquid at the Dawgs on the sidelines in Austin last year once the Horns started drooping. Total lack of class, with obnoxious arrogance and condescension…. based on NOTHING.
Everybody seems to be fawning over Bobo, but he is still doing the same boneheaded playcalling that will lose us the big games. Great scripted initial drives. Once he got up by ten, though, he withdrew into the fetal position until the fourth quarter. Smart must have gone up into the press box once the Horns got back within four and kicked him a few times. Bobo will never understand that you NEVER take your foot off the gas and you do not run plays off tackle up the middle over and over and over again when it is not working.
Every time I see the urban cowboy McConaughey on the Texas sidelines, I know we're gonna roll all over the highly overrated Shorthorns again. He symbolizes the team: A total pretender, a rhinestone cowboy, all hat no cattle. Inauthentic, it's alll about those Benjamins.
Winner: me, I took the pups and gave the points…
I still don't really understand what Cash Jones was doing once he caught the ball for the onside kick? Was it some excitement skip or something? It looked like he could've run all the way and gotten a touchdown. Didn't matter, but was definitely strange.
This was indeed all about coaching. Georgia fought hard, Smart was the MVP of the game and then… Texas just gave up. At that point Georgia would've been in there "okay, we've done this many times - lets get the comeback" but instead Texas just became losers and just got beaten to a pulp. When you give up in football, it doesn't matter your talent level - you're done.
kirkhilles, I was told that in college football you are not allowed to advance an on-side kick. Ball is downed where it was recovered. Confused me too. GO DAWGS!
