Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

You realize Ga Southern may have been best team we have beat all year. We won 2 other cupcake schools and our SEC wins are against teams a combined 8-27 in the SEC.
Who cares how many wins we have against inferior teams? if we had played in the west we would have beaten Auburn and no one else and probably be 4-7 and no bowl. Who cares about 10 wins if all we do is barely win games against awful teams. I would have rather be Arkansas this year and at least have a few wins against big teams even if we take a few losses we shouldn’t. UGA under CMR has proven it doesn’t compete at the top level and likely never will.

Yeah, I don’t know about that.
They have an excellent front 7, the best corner in the country, good LBs, etc. They had a good QB until he got popped for PEDs. Their patchwork OL is outperforming ours and they are able to find ways to score because they have some pretty good offensive coaches.
I’m not saying they’re incredible or anything, but they do have a whole lot of talent, especially on defense.
LikeLike
Adam, I think you and I are saying pretty much the same thing. Yes, their patchwork offensive line is outperforming our O-Line which is made up of 4 returning starters 2 of which were pre-season All-SEC. Their PED QB ain’t playin’ any more and their current QB is below Lambert on the talent meter. BTW, someone please explain to me why they don’t have to forfeit the 6 games they won with their performance enhanced QB? They do have a whole lot of talent on defense but Georgia’s D is actually pretty good too and I see the defenses as a wash. Finally, I totally agree that they find ways to score “because they have some pretty good offensive coaches.” That was the point of my post.

Georgia has more experience and talent on offense. That they have horribly underperformed is among the reasons most people aren’t happy with the season. Florida’s secondary is much better than Georgia’s, while Georgia’s a touch better in the front seven.

“Georgia has more experience and talent on offense” – outside of MMitchell & Sony, I struggle to see where we are more talented (with Chubb playing, of course we are better). Their tight-end has been more productive and they have 3 good receivers to our MMitchell (Godwin is serviceable this year, but he’s not better than any of their guys yet).
I’m with you on the UF game, I couldn’t believe Schotty fumbled that punt on the goal line and gave them an easy 7. Sure, our best running-back/player broke his hand on the first play (missing nearly all the first half and then marginalized for the rest of the game), but then Richt throws 4 interceptions! That game was totally on the coaches.
Snark aside, I’d really love to hear from the coaches what the offensive game plan was for UF. My guess is Sony was the linchpin, not Bauta. When Sony went down, the plan went to sh*t.

You’re right. Coaching has nothing to do with how players perform in games.

Coaches can’t fumble the ball or throw interceptions, no. They can only put the players they choose in the plays they call.

You can’t be serious. Bobo scored with anybody and everybody. Joe cox threw 24 TDs, and we had king and ealey at running back. Bobo managed to score with Douglas and green at RB in 2013. We broke school records…yearly. We’ve been playing football since 1892. School records…yearly.

Bobo never had to call a game with a qb this bad. He skipped a ball on third down to 16. The biggest play of he game 3rd and 4 and he misses a wide open 26. He chucked a ball across his body into the middle of the field to no one in particular in the rz. He ate the ball and took sacks that he should not have taken. He’s awful. Horrific. Atrocious. Everybody we’ve played since Alabama (save uf obviously) has loaded up on the run and flat dared 11 to make a play. He can’t. He’s awful. Blaming schotty for lambert is silly. Nobody could make that guy even mediocre. If he was a horse, they’d send him to the glue factory.
LikeLike
You are tougher on Lambert than you will be after reviewing the game. He was on early and his throws were there, some were caught and some weren’t for various reasons. He threw it away a few times on purpose. You can look at the low throw as being on purpose with two guys waiting to intercept.
Can’t believe you took the knee-jerk route on this game. You are much better than this. Just look closely on the replay of this game. There was good and there was bad. We don’t need to emphasis the bad over emphasizing the good.
LikeLike
Wait…you don’t want to blame the players (or as with above, one player) for everything wrong with the program??
Would you rather blame millionaire coaches who are responsible for (a) getting players ready to win, (b) scheming around the talent they have, and/or (c) recruiting and developing players to build depth in case some of them don’t work out?
It’s so much easier to just throw a few amateur college players under the bus, like the Dereks of the world. But that requires a short memory. It requires forgetting what the coaches were responsible for doing in the years leading up to this point.

Good point, anon. Before the season this looked like a moderately hard schedule but several of the teams that looked formidable which the Dawgs have beaten have been exposed as busts. Who would have thought that South Carolina would be so bad that SOS would quit mid-season and the chickens would lose to the Citadel at home? I remember thinking when Georgia beat South Carolina this year that meant the Dawgs were for real. Mizzou, the defending East champs, are now the worst team in the SEC. Basically, the only teams the Dawgs have beaten were the cupcakes and the lousiest SEC East teams. Any team they have played that is even approaching good has beaten the Dawgs. Georgia’s best win this year is Georgia Southern.

The problem that several have here is that they can’t amend “cupcake” in their minds. Yep, the SEC East teams weren’t up to their usual par, but labels placed on teams by our football-comparison egos isn’t relative sometimes when the payee games roll up late in the season.
GSU is a good team that plays their heart out, not a “cupcake”. Get that through your skulls and veer to the advanced-warning section of our schedule and read it from time to time. The importance of what happened last night in some minds happened inside some game perception heads that haven’t changed as the season got tougher. You only end up not enjoying last night’s game for what it was – a win over a good team. Some of you just want to keep the unmodified “cupcake” label to suit your poor vision for coaches. As I recall, some of you were the very ones calling for Bobo’s head by shouting louder than reasoning heads. You are the same ones who don’t want to acknowledge we have a new O Coach , new Center and line plus playing the most freshmen in the country. Things have a chance to get better in a milieu that doesn’t have the Jumping Frogs of Calaveras County protesting en masse.

Sorry, Cujo. I did not mean to lump GSU in with the other “cupcakes.” When that game was scheduled GSU was a D-IAA team and was intended to be a cupcake by the UGA AD’s office.

GSU (now 7-3 and defending Sunbelt Conference Champion) probably is the best win Georgia had this season and likely would have beaten every team that Georgia has beaten this season–including Auburn (the bottom team in the SEC West). I know that if I coach at Vandy or UK or this year’s version of Mizzou I sure wouldn’t want the Eagles coming to play my team.

We sputtered on offense and then missed a FG after Brice Ramsey’s beautiful punt that got killed on the 1.
Ugly win, but a win … that zone play to Michel (the one he scored on) was there all night long instead of the run from the shotgun. I don’t know why we didn’t stay with it.

It seemed to me that UGA OC coached like he feared his own offense as much as he did Ga Southern’s defense. Kept it as simple as possible, hoping they didn’t throw the ball to the other team. Like others I’m stunned at Dawgs o-line play. Looking back it will seem nearly miraculous for a team getting whipped so often on its offensive front to win this many games……
