I’m not going to waste your time or mine with a breakdown, or speculating about key matchups. This is a meeting between a top ten P5 squad and a bad FCS team. It won’t be close.
Which isn’t to say it won’t be interesting. It’s Eason’s first start and we’re likely to see a few jersey numbers making their first appearances of the 2016 season. But it’s very unlikely we’ll see a lot of new wrinkles in the game plan. It’s a day for getting player reps and avoiding injuries.
I’m heading out in about thirty minutes. If you’re going to the game, take care and enjoy another Saturday in the Classic City.

This is sort of what I was afraid of. Kirby Smart appears to be Mark Richt redux. A career assistant who really doesn’t know enough to be a HC now. We’ll be watching him make bonehead decisions for years as he gets his OTJ training on how to be a HC at Georgia’s expense. P.S. You NEVER go for 2 until it is the end of a game and the 2 points are necessary to either win or tie. By going for 2 and not converting that opened the door to Georgia potentially losing the game to Nichols on a last second FG if Nichols got the ball back at the end of the game. Thank goodness for Greyson Lambert and Nick Chubb being able to get first downs at the end to run out the clock.
LikeLike
What boneheaded decisions? Serious question. I didn’t get to watch it.

Coaches rely on that 2-point play card too much. That would have been the right call in the 4th quarter. I didn’t think it was the right call in the 3rd quarter. I thought there was too much time left to make that call. Just my opinion.

From my novice observation it seems like the Dawgs are in dire need of wide receivers. Didn’t see a whole lot of separation today or last week for that matter. A better pass rush wouldn’t hurt either.
LikeLike
Just a few casual observations from a sofa-cushion analyst.
Eason looks less adept at hitting crossing routes and more comfortable on vertical routes. A four receiver set with seam patterns might help a little.
Ham did absolutely nothing to ease my reservations about place kicking okay. The line drive knuckleballs continued and I foresee some blocks in the near future.
The team looked almost micromanaged today, rather than playing with natural instincts. Two key instances stood out in my mind in this regard. One was seeing iMac looking over to the sideline while the punt was damned near in the air to get his cue to automatically fair catch the punt he muffed. The second was CKS running down the sideline at Roscoe that the pass was going to his assignment shortly before he was toasted like an English muffin for a TD. With preparation and film study, you really have to let these players revert to their practice and instincts during live play, in my uneducated opinion. Especially so on iMac’s two egregious errors at the end of the game (muffed punt and bobbling the kickoff out of bounds) in seemed as if the old axiom “Analysis leads to paralysis” was at play for a kid that froths at the mouth to make big plays when left to his own devices.
In any event, a wins a win. I’m gonna take some ribbing at the office this week though.
