From start to finish, if Georgia ran a better executed play this season than this…
… I must have been in the bathroom when it happened.
Everything — and I mean everything — went right. Fromm read the coverage and knew he had the pass, the offensive line gave him a safe pocket, the receivers did a marvelous job clearing out the secondary, Godwin ran a perfect route and Jake delivered a beautiful ball for the touchdown.
Exactly how you draw it up, right?

This is clearly a lesson learned from the previous game. If Cheney will remember to keep calling touchdown plays, we will be unstoppable! 😉
Good to see 5 in there making big plays. Hope he’s healthy for the stretch run, we sure need him.

It was a great call and perfectly executed. OTOH, the 2-point play was a disaster.
Kirby and Chaney need to go back and look at some Richt/Bobo film of some really good 2-point play calls. 2006 Georgia Tech is the perfect example.

Or just run a play we do very well and don’t get too cute.

I will never fault a coach for doing a roll out right, flood the zone with tight ends and tall receivers and if the stop / sit down in a soft spot doesn’t work, throw a damn jump ball. That’s as good a play as any. Or if you’re Justin Fields, run it perhaps. Gives you about 6 different options, none of which are exactly easy to defend, even if what you want to do is obvious.

Yep, I think when Richt/Bobo used to run it, it had about an 85% success rate. And you’re right; its usefulness lies in all the options it gives you and how easily the QB can process them (1/2 the field). It makes the defense do everything right.

We’re missing a Fullback for a lot of those play designs. Same for any of our short yardage plays.

Southerland was a hole-clearing fullback along with JT Wall, Jeremy Thomas, Quavon Hicks, etc.

Hitting the receiver going from left to right downfield is a tough throw.
That play was so beautiful it prompted even Gator fans to get up out of their seats.

Two offensive take aways from this game.
Run the damn ball. Line up and whip the man in front of you.
Jake should gain more confidence in throwing the ball down the center of the field.

And block the defensive end at least a little. That #92 blew up just about every run up the middle on the goal line.

He was never blocked. Either motion someone to chip him, or sweep/run right at him. Running the same play over and over while never blocking the guy was just idiotic.

Same result happened in the Rose Bowl game when the DE/OLB for OK whose name you couldn’t pronounce tackled Chubb from the backside on the goal line. That should only happen ONCE!!

My take away…..our receivers have the ability to get open even when we’re in max protect with just 2 or 3 route runners. When it’s time to push the ball down field, go max protect if it makes Jake comfortable and trust Jeremiah Holloman and Isaac Nauta.

Not a bad idea to slip a TE out while the DBs are otherwise occupied either. We have so many offensive weapons available, we just choose to not throw them all at the opponent, for some reason. Saturday’s film will give Stoops a lot of heartburn as he prepares for this Saturday. He has a good defense, and a great rush player off the edge, but I don’t think he has faced an offense that CAN be this complete.
Hope we spread the field the next few times we have short yardage situations. That idea of bunching everyone into a 200 square foot area ain’t working so well. Even the QB sneak push play can be more effective when you take some defenders out of the mix. Unless Herschel, who could leap tall buildings, came back we weren’t scoring on those goalline plays. But it did wear their defense down, so maybe that was a good idea to take those 3 points after all. Chaney…brilliant!!

This is what drove me crazy Saturday. It’s not like Georgia wasn’t converting short yardage situations out of regular sets. It was, including a quarterback keeper.
Honestly, I think that goal line offense was as much about Kirby as it was Chaney. They need to get over imposing wills and focus on moving the ball.

Yeah, “the series”. I think it’s funny how determined we were to punch it in. Has there ever been a 7 play goal line stand? I was just wondering if Kirby just wanted to eat clock and make Florida tired.

Incredible, I know I have never seen anything like that in any football game. Wish we were on the other side of that piece of history. We looked like buffoons continuing to get hit by that same brick and never changing our plan.

To keep doing the same thing the same way and expect a different result is the definition of insane. It was time for a Tebow special the old jump pass.
