“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

I know they play in an inferior league but UCF leading the nation in this category—wow.

Playing FAU appears to help tremendously. They play fast, so you get a lot of possessions, and they don’t defend, so you get a lot of points.
Oklahoma and UCF combined for 23 drives and 17 touchdowns against them.
UCF adds Connecticut, who is surrendering 55 points a game, and South Carolina State, a FCS team that held them to 38. That’s UCF’s resume.

Exactly. Our routine game plan that includes pounding the ball once a comfortable lead, lowers the stats. If we’re ever in a battle late in the game, that plan will be shelved for more aggressive play calling. Of course, with our run game, it’s not necessarily conservative. But it is a little harder to gain yards when everyone in the stadium knows you’re going to run the ball.

But the Missouri game!
A fun stat that occurred to me last night is that Georgia hasn’t trailed yet through four games. Missouri was the first time they’ve even been tied at any point beyond the 10:42 mark of the first quarter.

With Chaney its not so much the overall game. Its these 1, 2 or 3 drives a game or even a few plays. On 3rd and 1, if you spread the field with 3 WRs and have Holyfield in the backfield with 7 in the box is probably a 1st down. Instead we bunch up and EVERYONE knows what play is coming and there’s 9 or 10 in the box and it gets congested. Its those moments that make fans go crazy over his play calling. Also, I don’t recall any jet sweeps or even a swing pass to Cook.

I agree. There were some mind boggling calls. We threw the swing pass to Cook once real early. Jake made a bad throw but it still went for 10 yards. We never saw it again for some reason.

There is nothing wrong with showing confidence in your OL. The OL if it is the dominant unit we think it is, we should be able to line up and run a dive for a yard. You can go back and watch the play the right tackle didn’t get movement and then the DL shed is block clogging the hole.
LikeLike
Yeah. And there’s nothing wrong with expecting Cade Mays to know the play well enough to not lean the wrong way at the snap so he gets whipped at the line and Holyfield is stuffed in the backfield for a four-yard loss on 3rd and 1. Sometimes the failures aren’t because of the play call.
That said, I think if Fromm had thrown to the sidelines or deep the whole game on first or second down, we’d have put 60 on that team.

My least favorite is stacking 3 tight ends to bring every defensive player right there and then run where they are stacked.
Least favorite series vs Mizzu was after Tae’s interception. 7 yards and we didn’t once run a tailback.
I’m hating on Chaney less because he has good stretches but “Run the ball, Bobo!”

Can’t wait to replace Chaney with Bobo in a year or two.

Nothing really to hate, justy ignore the unbalance of including schools that don’t play on the same level. Simply take notice that several HS programs would supplant all the teams shown if they chose to mix them in.
Just curious if they also take drives out that are intended to simply run the clock down as that can also be considered “garbage time”, just in reverse.

And I was called “out of my mind” when I said Bama and tOSU look like to 2 best teams a couple of weeks ago. I think the Dawgs still have a lot of growing to do to get to where we want to go.

I would call that a huge overstatement. S&P+ puts Georgia slightly behind those two teams so far. FEI puts Georgia ahead of them, and FPI puts Georgia very slightly behind Ohio State and fairly significantly behind Alabama.

Way off topic, but no doubt of great interest: Kelly Bryant is transferring from Clemson.

He would be a natural at Auburn if Stidham is not coming back. I don’t see UGA being in the mix with a possible QB battle next year.
The more interesting thing is will the transfers me changed to adjust to the new Red Shirt rules? How will teams recruit QB with a more fluid transfer system? Could athletes which are dual threat QBs in HS but are generally recruited to be WRs and DBs become more valuable as they could be a fallback plan for depth at QB?
Miss St and Oklahoma run dual threats and will need a new QB next year. Florida could be in the mix as well.

Just read an article this morning that the transfer rules still apply, as confirmed by the NCAA. If you decide to transfer after 4 games, yes you can still take that as your transfer year, but yes you do still have to sit out a year at the next school. Graduate transfers (Bryant has graduated) are still the exception, so Bryant can play right away next year. But for undergrads, I don’t think this redshirt rule is necessarily going to open the floodgates on transfers any more than it already was.

If they want to waste a year on a QB who hasn’t been in their system and isn’t a particularly good passer, that’s fine with me.

This will become the new normal. The age of having more than two great QB’s for more than one year are coming to an end. If the NCAA changes the transfer rules so that they don’t have to sit a year it will become the wild wild west.

Not necessarily never going to have only one, but the best better well be the older guy or he’s gone. If you have natural class separation which we appear to, you’re fine. But as soon as the young guy in the QB room takes the reigns, the older guys who are any good are gone. Which if they’re concerned about an NFL career, they ought to go.
Think of it this way, if last year’s two top drafted QB’s had happened to go to the same school for college, and stuck it out like most people think they should, only one of those guys is going pro. The other will be a footnote in some school’s record books.
Need to have straight 5 years of eligibility. That way a QB in Bryant’s position would at least finish the year then go, rather than be forced to chose between quitting after four games, or giving up the realistic chance to start again.

On paper the offense should be very good this year. On the field the offense has been very good this year.

Chaney can coach an offense with great players. Who make plays in spite of him. He occasionally gets the call right. But you can’t argue the fact that he has massive brain farts. Example 1: The play calling following the pic against Mizzou that ended with a FG inside the 10.
