Georgia football instant observations for 2026 G-Day game
Comments
As for the attendance, 10 years ago Kirby wasn’t making $13 mill a year and making comments that he doesn’t work for the fans. As for the game, love that they opened up the offense with the long passes. Ryan M may work his way into the #2 QB.
I’m just glad the Dawgs won !! 😀
On a serious note what is and how bad is the injury to Frazier ?
I had an opportunity to go to a practice. Jaden Reddell looked really good.
Of the backup QB's Millender looked promising
Gunner will no doubt be our starter 1st game, based on experience, grasp of the offense, etc., but watched the "scrimmage" today and, in my opinion, several of our other QBs are better "passers".
Puglisi looked "just okay". He has a big arm, but I didn't think his ball placement was that great. Montgomery started out slow with accuracy, seemed to be aiming it, but he made some really nice throws in second half. Millender is still a "work in progress", but he can obviously rip it and is very athletic. Bryson Beaver, kid from California, and our late flip from Oregon, looks like the real deal. He has only been on campus since January, but he sure didn't look fazed at all. He is mobile, and it seemed that most of his throws were placed to put receiver in best position to make the catch.
All in all, coach smart and coach bobo have to feel pretty good about their QB room, and I suspect they are very happy that there is no longer a spring transfer portal. I am sure there were other teams recruiting staffs watching that game today, and some of our QBs will no doubt be on their recruiting boards for next year's portal.
I thought Millender's accuracy was impressive. I agree on Reddell. The new running back Dowdell is the real deal. He looked like Todd Gurley out there. He is going to be a problem for opponents. Thankfully Taylor caught a couple of balls, I thought Canion would have gotten more targets. The D line is nasty. The defense as a whole looks very good. Summer work and fall camp will bring out more emergence. Lots of freshmen playing meaningful minutes and looking good doing it. Gunner even threw a couple over the middle. I'm pretty stoked.
I agree with the long pass, they are hiding the true playbook of WR screens. Bobo doesn’t want anyone to know we will do that this year…secret weapon
should be doing whatever they can to get Millender prepped as QB2. Backup QB should be wide open going into summer.
76jyd…" I am sure there were other teams recruiting staffs watching that game today, and some of our QBs will no doubt be on their recruiting boards for next year's portal."……..My thoughts precisely….from Pugs to The Bev, especially if we flip that 5 star from Bama….GEEZ, I'm watchin the game a ringing my hands….RB's, TE's, WR's, OL's, DL, …..hell, the whole team is deep with starting talent fighting to get the nod……I couldn't be more pleased and optimistic about the 26 season, but as I see it, the looming huge problem…how you going to keep everybody happy with enough playing time???? Hope the "all for one and one for all" DAWG Brotherhood culture is being nourished everyday!!!
I agree with all the comments at least to some degree, but particularly this one.
The team looked good, very good.
Go, Dawgs!
G-Day saw a lot of new faces playing for the Dawgs and seven different quarterbacks completing passes. Click below to read the latest Junkyard Blawg, in which I sort it all out.
