Feel free to sneer at the level of opposition, if that’s what blows your skirt up, but the stats say Georgia’s offense ain’t missing a beat so far with its new offensive coordinator.
– Baylor, Georgia and Ole Miss have the most efficient offenses, averaging 1.3 plays per point scored. They’re followed by Texas Tech (1.4), USC (1.4), Memphis (1.5), Georgia Tech (1.6) and Arizona (1.6).
– Baylor has been the most explosive offense, with 13.3 percent of plays going for at least 20 yards. They’re followed by Ole Miss (11.6 percent), USC (11.4 percent), Georgia (11.3 percent), North Carolina (10.2 percent) and Kentucky (10.1 percent).
Efficient and explosive. I can live with that.
Oh, and one more thing – Georgia’s first in the SEC in plays from scrimmage of ten yards or more. And that’s despite running fewer plays per game than any other team in the conference.
About that opposition… yeah, it’s been subpar. But isn’t this kind of statistical domination what we should expect to see from a very good offense against those defenses?
Get The Picture 
About the competition…everyone is playing cupcakes right now. I’d argue our competition has been much stronger than many. I think the Vandy D is for real. Baylor’s schedule has been laughable and all those big 10 teams have to play all non-conference games in September. The rubber will meet the road in October, but I like what I’m seeing from Schotty.

Our two SEC losses last year were against SEC East teams and we beat the snot out of the SEC West teams.
Don’t shine me on with that stupid ESPN rhetoric. I’ll bet you can’t vote for anyone unless Fox Nonnews ordains them. ESPN is no different when loading up your mind with their biased Big10 takes. They screwed over everyone’s minds last year and they are doing it this year as well with their nonlove of the SEC and promotion of Big10 and Pac12 teams. Their early predictions there are also fading as fast as Auburn reaching for someone else’s championships and claiming all those that were before a conscensus #1 was voted.
When we are too lazy to investigate other teams/conferences, we shouldn’t take ESPN’s word for it. The few good pundits writing for ESPN aren’t loosed on tv like the idiot class they have chosen for this year. We have people here at gtp that pick lots better than any of those numbnuts at ESPN can, but they have a bully pulpit to influence a large number of voters as to poll selections and don’t be surprised to see no SEC team in this year’s NC unless we win out.

We’re getting these guys when we’re healthy and we’re getting them when we’re playing well. There may be some lingering doubts about Greyson Lambert in a big game, but that would be one of the very few lingering doubts that we have about this team. Put up or shut up.

UGA85, problem is every time we win a big game, our lunatic fringe seems to immediately declare that the other team was down or injured or whatever. If we blast Alabama out of the water Saturday (or even merely beat them in a tight game), many will be on here Saturday night proclaiming we got Alabama while they were down. It’s really a no win for our team with a lot of our fans. I just think we HAVE proven it on the field against tough physical teams again and again. If anything, we haven’t proven we can do it consistently.
We beat the dog snot out of Clemson in 2014 and they ended up 10-3 and #15. Clemson had 9 guys on that team make pro rosters. Also beat eventual division champ 34-0 at their place. They finished 11-3 and #11. Beat dog snot out of Auburn 34-7 and they wound up 8-5 #23. They were #9 at the time and chasing the West.
In 2013, we beat #6 USCe by two scores at home. They finished #4. Also beat #6 LSU and were on our way to SECC until the bottom fell out with injuries.
In 2012, we beat #3 Florida in Jax and went toe to toe with Alabama in Atlanta, losing on a really fluky ending.
I agree this game would boost our reputation in the short term, but I believe winning the East, winning the SEC, and performing well or winning the playoff would boost our reputation more than a victory here. And frankly this is not a must win for that to happen.
However, I really, REALLY want to win Saturday. I think we can certainly could win, and dare I say probably SHOULD win, but as I mentioned yesterday NOTHING would surprise me.

I’m not a guy that undervalues what the team has accomplished over the past few years, but I think you do yourself a disservice by watering down the magnitude of this game. If you can’t handle Bama at home, I highly doubt you are going to run the table on the rest of your games because you probably aren’t elite.

So, it seems that an undefeated season is your goal? I think that is a great goal, and I hope we achieve it. But, if we do lose this weekend, it hardly means that we won’t sweep the East. Have you looked at the rest of our regular season games? It also doesn’t mean that we won’t win the SEC. Beating Bama is not an “all or nothing” game for us. I don’t think that a one loss regular season somehow prevents us from winning a championship.
LikeLike
Is undefeated a goal? Sure. That’s not what I’m saying though.
I’m saying if UGA is going to win the SEC and/or go to the SECCG they probably win this game. They will probably lose a game after the Bama game regardless…but the odds are that if they win the Bama game, they probably don’t lose more than 1 other game on the schedule…however, if they lose to Bama at home, I think that means they definitely lose another game on the schedule and fall short of the SECCG and/or the SEC Championship. It’s a barometer game of how good they are…it isn’t in a vacuum. It’s a home game against a very good team…those are the games you have to win in order to have cushion to lose a game to a good team (or even ok team) on the road.
Name a team in the past 5 years that has lost to a cross divisional team and gone to the Championship game? The formula is you either go undefeated OR you sweep your cross division opponents and can afford 1 loss against a familiar foe.
This whole meme that it isn’t as important because they are in the West is just false.
LikeLike
First let me say I should have qualified my statement with “this is not necessarily a must win.” I can appreciate your disdain for my watering down of the game. It is important, no question. I think I was trying to make the point that it will not necessarily make or break or season. I don’t mean it to sound like I’m hedging. We need to curb stomp their ass for 2008. For 2012. for every fucking troll who has graced this board since its birth in 2007.
I just hate to get too polar and paint myself into a corner. I think with the way our division is shaping up, there’s a good chance we still make Atlanta even if we lose to Bama. Excellent and valid points on us never sweeping East and last 4 years of SECC participants sweeping cross division. No idea how the hell you knew that but I’m impressed – or at least a bit concerned about your social life!!! – or maybe both!
And for the record if we lose Saturday, my evening will be ruined. If we win Saturday, I will celebrate for a couple of hours and then start thinking, “Holy shit, we’ve gotta go up to Knoxville next weekend and get up AGAIN! how in the hell are we going to do that?” Scorp can articulate that part better than I.

Wait, are we doing stipends already? Shouldn’t he be back in the dorm chewing on bark or something? How’s he at Chili’s?
Is this a Chris Rainey deal or something milder? Hard to tell from the story. Stupid, no doubt.

“Shouldn’t he be back in the dorm chewing on bark or something?”
I giggled at that. Audibly. Well done.
This is likelier a “do you know who the hell I am???” vs. “do you know who the hell my daddy is???” over a bowl of spinach dip. Beyond trivial. We’ll see soon enough, I guess.

Ohio State started 2014 with Navy, VaTech, Kent State, Cincinnati, Maryland, & Rutgers. I don’t remember anyone trolling them in January.

A lot of people questioned the Schotty hire. Not I. Schotty is running Walsh’s old San Fran offense from the early 80’s. High percentage passing game with plenty of balance. It’s an offense designed to maintain control of the ball and keep defenses on their heels. Lambert is looking rather Montana like over the last two games.
