ATHENS — Kirby Smart knows his team has played bad games. We all saw that against Auburn.
Read the full story here
Again, I can’t type “stup1d”, “ug1y”, “d@mn” or any number of innocuous words but the story can drop the “F” bomb multiple times?
Seriously?
One analyst said the Frazier first down play was supposed to be a flea flicker but Nate forgot to toss the ball back. That’s why Kirby was in his ear - watched the film and sure enough the OL were in pass pro
Only trouble with this theory is that, after the handoff, Gunner takes off to the left, so if Frazier was to turn to toss it back, Gunner wouldn't have been there…..so maybe it was Gunner who messed up.
The whole incident was weird, but Coach not explaining what happened and why he got angry, does lead credence to the thought that it was a missed play on someone's fault.
@Brooksie
I watched the play several times frame by frame and I didn't see it being a flea flicker at all. As a matter of fact Gunner takes off running to the right carrying out his fake run, Some have suggested Kirby wanted him to take it around the left end (that looked covered by their Defensive end to me. Some YTubers have read his lips and Kirby says the lanes are wide open, you're thinking too much!!As he points to his head. My take is Kirby wanted him to hit the hole full speed and not glding into it waiting to see where the biggest crease will form(hence the you're thnking too much!!!)
Nate hit it hard on that 1st long run to start the game, but seemed to slow down his aggressiveness after a few runs.
It is annoying..selective censorship.
Kirby was back yelling at the refs and players. Maybe it's just me but would much rather see that than the low energy displayed against Auburn.
This explanation sounds the most possible…..and thanks for "correcting" me when I said he took off to the left (not right as he actually did)!!!
In any event, Coach Kirby felt it was a teaching moment and Nate did take it surprisingly well!
Go Dawgs!
Not doubting yall. The video I saw it was obvious. Went back to the video. It was the 1st down run that Frazier messed up. But we saw the aftermath once the series was over and Pnut went back in.
I agree. KS was indeed low energy for a stretch. I thought it was really weird.
But calling a player dumb as f-, is, well, dumb. KS can do better.
Ole Miss may have had the QB, but they had little else. Poor team at best, exposed in many ways. Mizzu and SC will be a lot better. Better get ready.
The South Carolina game will be interesting - a night game, Shane Beamer has a way of getting his players ready. Georgia does not need to come into that game flat. Intensity is everything! GO DAWGS!
