Things that make you go “wait, wut?”:
Georgia was a mere 18 percent on third down, going 3 of 17, but they were still better than the Crimson Tide in that respect, who went 1 of 12.
Like I said, this is a game that should have finished with a combined score of under forty points.

What do these numbers have in common?
Why, they’re Greyson Lambert’s 2015 game by game passer ratings.
A couple of quick notes in passing… first, yesterday’s number is worse than any number Lambert posted as the Virginia starter last season. So, again, maybe everything about his performance can’t be explained by context.
Second, those wild swings aren’t totally unprecedented. Aaron Murray and Joe Cox both had seasons where they posted two sub-100 passer ratings. That being said, Murray and Cox didn’t have more than two of those clunkers in a year. I’m not so sure Lambert’s used up his quota.

I see from the comments to my in-game post that some of you took exception to my use of “not showing up” to describe Georgia’s face plant yesterday. That’s cool; it’s merely an expression and not a specific term of art.
But it seems to me that if you’re going to insist that a four-touchdown loss wasn’t evidence of another Mark Richt team not being ready to play, then you’re either arguing that this year’s Alabama team ranks among the greatest college football teams of all time, or this Georgia team is much worse than we thought.
Because yesterday’s whipping wasn’t just any whipping. It was a whipping of historic proportion.
So if you think the Dawgs came out fully prepared to handle the Tide, let me know what that says about the two teams.

2015 SEC Standings
EAST OVR CONF Florida 5-0 3-0 Georgia 4-1 2-1 Kentucky 4-1 2-1 Missouri 4-1 1-1 Tennessee 2-3 0-2 Vanderbilt 2-3 0-2 South Carolina 2-3 0-3
Just like that, Georgia’s margin for error to get back to the Dome this season – if I can be allowed to go there this morning – has completely dissipated. Any chance that Georgia could survive a loss in Jacksonville is nonexistent. Not to mention which team is likely to be playing with more confidence over the next couple of months.
At least Georgia under Richt is used to playing from behind like this.

At least we can stop worrying about Tennessee being a let down game.
Jesus, I hate blogging on days like today.
