Georgia football final grades leave plenty of room for improvement following win over Georgia Tech
Comments
At least the defense now looks like a GA defense. Impressive job against Haynes King.
Does the defense come through again like in 2021 and win us a Championship??
The Bobo loss looms VERY large. I'm very concerned about the effectiveness of our running game going forward. That may be our Achilles heel.
Luckily, Bama looked as out of sorts and not-so-great against the Tigers last night, so we have both just had rough games.
Coaching: C+. Obviously, our game plan didn't work very well, but we did win. But guys couldn't get open, and not a single TE caught a pass.
Bobo just didnt have a good gameplan besides run the ball. Other teams have passing strategies, but not ga. All the fans and talking heads were pleased with bobo over the last several weeks, hate him now. Tolliver wasnt ready, which is on bobo. D is the wrong grade. And we have bama next. Regardless, smart needs to get a co offensive coordinator next year.
How many times were the tight ends even targeted? I know the interception came when Gunner was trying to hit Luckie. Was Gunner not checking down or were they not getting separation? Definitely have to have all tight ends and receivers finding some separation against Alabama. We can’t be totally reliant on running the ball, especially up the middle, or Alabama is going to continue to own us! Go Dawgs!
Notice when the TE's are forgotten, we struggle offensively? This happened again against Tech.
You touched on it a bit but I would like to see a category for play calling.. We have a great TE room but they might as well be fire plugs for blocking. Maybe a few less of the thousand screen passes and throw to the TE if only to distract the other teams defense.. Don't ruin good drives by throwing bombs into double coverage. Isn't there also a rb named phillips who has good running skills? If you throw to one guy most always guess who gets the double coverage.
From what I saw, i'd say Gabe Harris HAD a safety..until the striped shirts took it away.
Bama has a player out for the 1st half of the SECCG, due to a targeting call. Jam Miller took a beating everytime he carried the ball against auburn, and was eventually helped off the field after an injury. Hopefully that will have a lingering effect and it shows in his play Saturday..GoDAWGS! From what im reading on the Bama boards, it doesnt look like Miller will play in the SECCG now, due to a "lower leg" injury. CORRECTION: as Hootche10 pointed out, and appreciated as well. The targeting call was in the 1st half, he missed the 2nd half of the game due to that call, therefore he is eligible to start the the SECCG.
"Overall: C"??
A win is a win; they all count the same - team sport, team game. 11 & 1 and going to the SECCG. The 5th straight appearance and 8th in the last 9 years. The "grader" has NO clue…and just like the cartoon character, Joe BTFSPLK, it's always raining.
Article "Overall" - F
Tight ends get a “C” grade for playing well in what they were allowed? No passes is on the QB and the OC calling the plays.
And good grief, every third pass doesn’t have to be a bomb into double coverage. Beat them low and then take the shots.
And Cash’s first down? I love Cash Jones and believe he is a really good back but that play ended almost exactly like it did against alabama. You have huge backs running strong and you give it to your finesse back and the blocking is atrocious. That is not Cash’s fault. It is to his credit that he got the yard.
I do believe in Bobo but that offensive game was poorly called.
How about the clock management at the end of the first half? I can’t understand not having a killer instinct in that situation and using your timeouts to go for a touchdown. Can anybody explain the thinking behind that to me? We gave up an additional 3-4 potential scoring plays by not using our timeouts. This has happened more than once to end a first half this season. Go for jugular. Put teams away early when you have the chance.
RB: Frazier A, McCray C-. I guess McCray ended up RB2 because he practiced well. But don’t we have to look at the game day performance? He did not run effectively at all. He’s too slow.
The grades hint at the major challenge we have this week. Playing in the Benz a week before the SECCG is a big benefit, but the crucial question is whether we come into the game recognizing where we can improve and doing so, or whether we come in nervous about both our poor performance against Tech and our history with Alabama. The coaches' biggest job this week is getting the team — and themselves — in the right mindset.
Jeez, Connor. WTH with this article? No call out of Bobo the Elder? An incoherent game plan made worse by Stockton's "deer in the headlights" outing; no TE usage; and the adjustments made after Drew went out with injury. Were there any adjustments? Thank god for the D.
If "coaching was an issue" at the end of the half, I'd hate to see what "screwed up" looks like.
I guess "elite" expectations and performance are only for the players.
