The last day of the regular season is always a bittersweet experience for me, especially when it’s a home game. Ten months until the next Athens tailgate, until the crowd gathers in Sanford Stadium, until we get to enjoy the collective experience of Georgia football again. That always leaves me a little sad.
Then again, we always have Georgia Tech. And for the past fifteen years, that’s been a great thing to have. Chan Gailey. Reggie Ball. Shutting down Calvin Johnson. Running the state. It’s a long list.
Kirby, keep things rolling. I’d like to be typing TIAR, B! in about eight or nine hours from now. GATA.
This is your home for in-game commenting, peeps. Have a happy time with it. See ‘ya on the other side.

If you told me that somehow, it was known that Georgia would win only one game a year for the next 100 years, and that some way, it was up to me to choose which game UGA would win, I wouldn’t need a schedule to make the choice. My immediate response would be, “We’ll just beat tech every year.”
That’s how much I hate tech.

We might have to play a lot of man coverage in our secondary, but I think we’ve got the guys to do that. Contain the running game, and don’t let Thomas get loose! Should be easy, right? Get our own running game going, keep their offense off the field, get them down early so they’re playing catch-up the entire game.
I think we’ll win because I don’t think their defense is as good as ours. But I think it’s going to be a tuff game.

I’m hoping that Kirby & Tucker dial up some really exotic and effective blitzes and pass rushing like Pruitt did. Don’t let them know what’s coming and from where.

With BVG breaking down film we should be prepared on D. There is always the question of execution but our DBs and Outside LBs have seen it before. As for the offense, I would hope Van Gorder was also asked to share some observations with Chaney about his and Roof’s strengths and weaknesses.
As for the tech game, a wise old man (RIP Ooogie) once said “boys, being able to beat Florida and Tennessee is like being able to buy your wife a nice car and having boats and lake houses. Beating tech is like being able to feed your kids.”

OK…it’s just started…we gashed GT running the ball..5..10 yards per carry…it comes down to third and two, deep in GT territory..we have two plays to get a couple of yard and we throw the f’ing ball..and then miss a chip shot…..Don’t like the mentality of playing for three, esp. in this game where GT’s line obviously is outmatched against our OL….That was jus kind of weak decision making to me.
Now GT will be on fire.

D made some good adjustments at half but WHY IN THE HELL can’t we stop anyone inside the 20? For the offense, we do not have and must develop a killer instinct.

We, on the other hand, prefer to go into the victory formation with 4 minutes to go and the other team has all three timeouts.

I don’t know. Stinch said we gave up TDs like 77% of the time in the red zone. We should have just pulled a Paul Johnson and let them score on their last drive. Not sure what Kirby was thinking just let the clock run with one TO left. It’s not like we stopped them from scoring the whole game. Horrible clock management and play calling at the end of the game.
LikeLike
Helmand…it’s the cautious spirit of the coaches..When Georgia drove the ball on the first possession, and then gave up on a third and three (or two) or whatever it was…threw on third..and then missing a field goal, it became a losing cause. A coach with a killer instinct looks at third and two and says, “I’ve got two plays to gain two yards” and puts playing for a field goal (which isn’t a sure thing either) out of his mind.
CMR couldn’t do it and apparently, CMR is the same. Did it again twice in the second half. THIS is why we lost that game instead of winning it going away. Cautious Kirby needs to think about it.

Against a CPJ offense you have to hold serve and then score every time Tech kicks it back to you. Chaney is like a millionaire who has a garage full of exotic cars but he acts like he’s afraid to drive them and get them dirty.

Hope Kirby is ready to get some heat. Between him and Chaney that last five minutes was a total fail in terms of playcalling and clock management. I don’t have a clue how you have them backed up inside the 6 and give up the biggest play of the game bc you’re late getting subs in and then waste a TO on offense when you’re trying to run out the clock to throw a pass that gets picked. Then you sit there in the red zone where you haven’t stopped anyone let alone Tech from scoring all year letting the clock run to leave yourself with 30 seconds and one TO bc you already wasted one. Should have just done a PJ and let them score.

In retrospect you are correct. It would have given the O more time to get into FG position and win the game.

Exactly. If there were ten people in the stadium or watching at home who thought that Tech wasn’t going to score a TD there they’d probably be hard to find. It was excruciating watching the clock ticking down.
