Today’s big news, of a sort:
I’m not sure how big a deal this is, to tell you the truth, as a less than 100% Kelly Bryant is less of a threat — not to mention it’s not like this Georgia team hasn’t already lost once this season to a team playing a back up quarterback.
Anywho, here’s a bunch ‘o stats for your perusal. Overall, the Dawgs have the better set of numbers, which isn’t much of a surprise.
Nothing has changed my mind that both teams are going to play conservatively and hope to wait out the other squad’s mistake(s). Don’t expect to be wowed.
Spread’s 17.5 and I think the Dawgs just miss covering. Say 27-10, 31-14… something along those lines.
I’m heading out the door shortly, so this is your invite to talk about the game. Try not to pull too much of your hair out if he Dawgs don’t dominate in the first half.
Get The Picture 
23-10? 3 FGs and 2 TDs get it done. Keep winning and go to the Plains looking for blood.

I think UGA walks away in this one. 42-10 / 35-7. Something along those lines. If the Dawgs are focused – they should be up 14 by the half. Maybe more. Believe Mizzou is a talented team and they did have two weeks to prepare – but just get the feeling that Dawgs are going to ‘to work’.

Did you actually watch that play? Had he gone to next check down, he would have been laying on his back after being flattened by a the defender running full speed. Ball would have probably gone backwards and could have been a scoop and score. He had to release it that instant.
Our offense has hit stall again. Maybe our staff needs an extra week before every game to put some variety in, we don’t look like the same offense we had last week. Were they working on Auburn and decided to have nothing for Mizzou? Those three drops early didn’t help either.

Watching SMU, Minnesota, other teams – so many offensive coaches out there doing more with less.
Fromm occasionally misses openings, but most of the time when you see the whole field he’s got few options. If I had to put numbers on our passing game woes, it would be:
20% Fromm occasional bad decision / game (but still a huge net positive).
40% receivers
40% Coley.
Coach Coley isn’t doing anyone any favors. He’s had all these 4 and 5 star receivers for 10 months now. Ha ha – one of the halftime announcers just said exactly the same thing as I was typing it.

For you guys that are wringing your hands, Trey Hill going out has hurt the offense bad. The line has been shuffled which screws things up and Mays just can not play center.

Trey Hill has arguably been the offensive MVP up to this point in the season.
The team has shown unprecedented character to overcome the loss of the team leader and the best offensive player to stake a dominant half time lead over a high-quality SEC opponent.
Only Kirby’s unrivaled leadership and game-planning has allowed the team to overcome a power-five opponent and heated division rival.
Other teams would have wilted in the face of such vicissitude.

You are crazy.
JF’s mastery at reading defenses allows him to throw the ball to seemingly covered receivers in very tight windows.
Because Fields has failed to learn the offense and progress, he has been limited to throwing the ball to receivers that are wide open. Any run of the mill quarterback can do that. Only a master tactician can with a keen mind can throw the ball to covered receivers.

And I am sick of the coaches pushing this false narrative that fans are critical of the players. I think that’s a betrayal of the fan base that makes the players think the fans are not behind them.

I’m not even sure we hang with Auburn after all these injuries.
If we had a real offense the game would have been 42-0 at the half and we’d be playing backups and burning clock rather than having starters get injured.
Instead, we have a giant pile of injuries the week before we play friggin Auburn.
This is so depressing.
And yes, I am very worried that 2017 was it. Was that our rare combination of just the right players to have a shot? And we blew it by failing to contain Alabama’s backup QB on a 2nd and forever in OT? 😦 /wrists

Yes. That captures it accurately. You blow teams out, like Clemson or OU do against at 5-3 or 4-4 opponents. Bama should be ranked higher than us still. It doesn’t matter anyways. Still 2 very hard games left. Atlanta isn’t guaranteed.
I want someone to convince me how this isn’t any better than CMR first 4 years. No really, please. It’s not a rhetorical being an ass question. To change my mind otherwise, it’s a national championship. That’s the bar. Everyone knows it.

1) We played for the national title.
2) 3-1 vs. Florida. (CMR 1-3, including losses when we were #5 and Florida was unranked, and when we were #4 against #23 Florida).
3) The incredible strength of CKS recruiting – particularly the way he doesn’t ignore OL and DL – certainly gives me more confidence for the future than CMR ever did.
4) CKS shows no signs of holding on to crappy assistants who fail to deliver. He may not always pick the right guy, but he doesn’t cling to them too long out of a weird sense of loyalty. I highly doubt you’ll see CKS do anything similar to the Willie Martinez debacle.
There are similarities, however. The Sugar Bowl loss last year to Texas definitely reminded me strongly of the 2005 Sugar Bowl loss to West Virginia.

At least the Kentucky was in the rain. This had to be the longest and uneventful ballgame I ever saw. Pickens made some catches and actually stood up and ran. Swift broke a few decent runs along with Herrien. Sort of looked like Kirby was trying to make everyone happy Cook, McIntosh and Zeus got to play.
Cook looks like a slot. Do we block anyone on punt return at all ? It can’t be that difficult. Perhaps Kirby could put on the WR’s on punt return at least we know it’s a fact they have to block. Drob is a end around or jet sweep designated play. How many pass targets has he had this year; For you stat guys.
There was not a great deal of emotion except for chippy talk and a few shoves. On the bright side those idiocies of commercials and TV time outs ai think lasted longer than the game.
Kind of reminds me of watching the Braves this season. Get men on base and never drive em in. Dawgs pile up the 1st. downs and never drive it in. I sure hate to see Hot Rod go. He will be missed. Not sure what Coley could do inside the red zone if it weren’t for the Specs.
