Arkansas lost to Toledo on Saturday, despite outgaining the Rockets by almost 200 yards. Sure, the Hogs went minus-1 on in turnover margin, but, still, there’s got to be a better reason than that for an embarrassing home loss to a MAC squad.
How about this?
Inside the red zone, Brandon Allen’s QBR fell from 87.0 to 1.0, thanks to 2-of-11 passing, no touchdowns and one interception.
If you’re not a QBR fan, on the season Allen’s passer rating in the red zone is a woeful 52.91.
Considering that Allen currently ranks fourth in the SEC in overall passer rating, one of Georgia’s saving graces this season may turn out to be that there simply aren’t many consistently good quarterbacks in the conference.

Looks like the game plan was to get the QB and the receivers some reps and keep the SEC defenses from loading the box against the run game.
Basically, the opposite approach Richt and Schottenheimer took.
Bert forgot about one important detail…

This discussion does not alleviate our obvious QB issues or our special teams fooahs. The defense may be good enough in all but 1 or 2 games to offset those. Right now I’m more interested in us not other teams!

Lambert has only 3 passing attempts in the RZ. 1 for 3 with a TD for a rating of 185.
He’s actually 8 of 9 passing between the 40 and the 20 with the only incompletion being the pick that wasn’t on Saturday.
9 of 12 with 2 TDs for 125 yards (a 10.4 yd per att) on the opponent’s side of the field is actually really good.
That’s what makes the first half against Vandy so puzzling. You wouldn’t be able to tell that story from any of the stats.
5 of 7 when throwing on 1st down.
5 of 7 when throwing in 3rd and long situations.
7.8 yards per attempt…which isn’t great, but which isn’t awful (it was Mason’s number on the season)
So there’s hope that it was a glitch and not the real story. But it was bad enough watching it to make you skered.

Honestly, I can give a tentative bit of credit to the Vandy pass D as well. (Basing this on WKU having a great passing attack last season, as well as torching LaTech this past week, but getting held to about 200 yds when they played Vandy. They still won, but that was a good 150 yards or so below their average, and the completion percentage was terrible.)

It is astonishing how the QB play throughout the SEC has continued to drop the past few seasons. There are no top QBs in the SEC anymore. Which means there will be no more top receivers in the conference.
Not really interested in other SEC teams QB issues [appears each team has them this season]. But Lambert’s play and his current production has to be a concern to all. The other concern is the new OC hire. NFL is one thing, but the SEC is another. Many of think the SEC level of play rivals and surpasses the NFL.
CMR and the O staff have a lot of work to do with the QBs. Now we know why it took so long for CMR to announce a starter. And only CMR’s pastor knows what is in CMR mind about “a starter”. Puts one in by default and prays for success.

After watching OUs 4th quarter come back against UT in Knoxville you have if this is the breakout for a OC Lincoln Riley’s OU scoring machine. Their QB was having his issues in the game in 1-3 but you could see it coming…and in the 4th quarter Butch Jones and company could only watch in amazement. OU’s walk on QB was off the chart in his play and passing in those 10 minutes of the 4th quarter.
A walk on QB under a first year OC at OU. But then again Riley had shown his coaching ability at ECU. OU looked very good against UT by games end.
Wonder what the QB transfer and the first year OC are going to look like this weekend. Many of us are concerned, after all the QB play and OC have not fared well against Spurrier…he is 4 out of 5.

We are kidding ourselves if you think we can win at a high level with that quarterback play. You can twist his numbers any way you want, UGA has to improve at Quarterback. He has played college ball for 4 years, the results speak for themselves. Fired at Virginia and sub-par play at UGA. He improves, or the QBs behind him improve or we lose at least 3. That would be a shame considering the talent we have everywhere else on the field.

Well, I am in the pack that says give Lambert a chance. That said, I don’t understand if we were in the situation with QBs that it appears we are in, why CMR didn’t sign Golson. Golson is clearly a big time player who was leaving a winning program and now is the starter at FSU. Apparently Golson was interested in Georgia because he contacted CMR first, before FSU. BTW, I’ll bet there are a whole lot of people in South Bend right now who are really sorry Golson is gone.
