D’Andre, swift.
Two things about this run: the downfield blocking, which was superb, and Swift’s top end speed, which was readily apparent to me watching the play live. As he’s crossing the Auburn 40, he takes a look to see where the pursuit is and hits another gear to cruise into the end zone.
And to think he claimed after the game that he’s still only about a 7 or 8 on a scale of ten, healthwise. Jeebus.

And OF COURSE some stupid-assed Bammer gets on and claims that Alabama would have stopped it for a 19 yard loss.

Just 19? Are you sure it was a real Bammer.

I would like for us the win the SECCG this year, but next year? With our youngsters having a year of experience, plus a healthy Swift? Plus a healthy Zeus? Plus incoming recruits? Hell I might even bet on the SECCG next year, if not the Natty.

I like our chances both this year and next, but it’s not like Bama is a veteran squad. They are young as hell too. So next year will be more of the same.

To me the difference in CMR offenses versus CKS is the blocking of our receivers. They are fast and sure handed, but the blocking. For all the creativity an offensive minded head coach had, the production is better because of everyone doing what they can to get the ground game going. 100% buy in is evident.

Chris Conley and Micheal Bennett are two of the better blocking WR we have ever had. It’s not the offense it’s the fact we have a dominant Oline so the WR blocks spring big plays rather than short gains.

I can’t tell, was it Nauta that has his man tied up down field and the defender can’t get off the block? They were locked up for like twenty yards or so.

Nauta did have some nice blocking, but I think the one you’re thinking of is JJ Holloman. He has become a really good receiver both catching the ball and blocking. He also looks the part, and his mom is a great follow on twitter.

Those D backs are happy to be blocked instead of taking on Swift, Holyfield, etc. boring down on them full steam late in the game. That was some fine blocking.
Just glad he wasn’t stopped around the 5.

If he was watching it on TV, he probably threw a flag at the TV. I thought the refs were pretty good for a change, but all of those 12 men penalties need to go away…also, we have one more TD if they call PI on Auburn..Blackledge had to tiptoe around not being critical on that no call.

Yeah, that endzone view. My favorite part– when he nonchalantly moves the ball to the outside arm at the 40 while using one finger to brush the last defender off. It was just beautiful.

Senator,
You are correct about the downfield blocking and Swift’s top end speed.
However, as a former offensive lineman, please look at the wall by the right tackle and right guard. The right guard’s block allowed the center to climb the next level and stone the linebacker. Watch the left guard occupy his man. Watch it three times. It’s line blocking at it zenith. Then listen to it!!
You hear two distinct pops. The first by the the right guard and tackle’s simultaneous blocks, the second by the center on the linebacker.
Then you see Nauta’s block, then you see Holloman’s block. Then you see Swift kick in the afterburners.
Outstanding execution!!

No offense intended toward Holyfield, a DGD who is a critical piece of the puzzle, but Swift is next level special. I’m willing to take him at his word he’s not all the way back from his injury because I just can’t wait to see what he looks like when he is.

Speaking of DGDs, I was thinking of skipping the UMass game next Saturday, but guess which two NFL teams have bye weeks next Sunday — how does Cleveland and New England grab you.
I WILL NOT not be in that stadium if/when they welcome back #27 and #1 — that damn place will come unglued.

We all saw the immediate potential of Swift last season, and everyone projected he would be “the guy” this season as the lead dawg in the running game. I felt it would be Holyfield, and when Swift was at something around 70%, Holyfield filled the role as UGA’s #1 RB. The speed at which Swift came back against FU following the bye week was startling. He built on it against KY, then last night happened. It has taken our running game to another level in just 3 short games.
Even with the injuries to our OL, we are a much better offense now that Swift is truly back. And our passing game is more dynamic as a result of that. Our defensive softness will almost surely keep us from winning out out, but our offense can move the ball against anyone, and keep is in games. We were good before Swift’s injury healed, but we didn’t look good enough. We do now, stay healthy young pups. Offense is all that we have to compete with the better teams at this point, it may still not be enough but it is our best hope.
