Yeah, Saturday was a methodical blow out, but two plays in particular stood out to me.
First, Jalen Carter announced his presence with authority.
Vandy’s number 75 is still looking for the license plate number of the truck that shoved him aside.
Then, this pass, from delivery to reception, was astonishing.
JT saw the unblocked rusher, knew he had to get the pass off early and did so with enough air under it to allow McConkey to go up and get it. Which he proceeded to do.
If there’s anyone left who doubts Daniels’ mastery of the playbook and position at this point, I’d like to hear why.
Get The Picture 
Totally agree. It feels like JT has developed a great pre-snap read on his options. More so than Stetson who defaults quickly to improvisation.

The only reason to doubt JT at this point, and not either of your criteria, would be his choice of pregame wardrobe.

He looked like Hunter S. Thompson, and that’s amazing.

As long as he stays away from Barstow and doesn’t have a trunk full of ether he will be alright.

Keeping Daniels healthy is priority #1 to ensure the season is as successful as we would all like.

There was another play where Jalen Carter looked like he played for the Mean Machine when he nearly took a running back’s head off with clothesline type takedown.

I was watching from home, but it appeared to me that Vandy was afraid of Georgia. Next up a team that won’t be.

Agree. After something like 3 kickoffs, I was thinking of going down on the field to give their kickoff returner a ‘please don’t hurt me’ sign.

I think that their RB’s were trying to signal for a fair catch before each handoff.

Maybe they should be, though. And maybe they will be, soon enough. Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth.

The way Carter laid the wood gives me a lot of hope that this defense has even more room to improve…we’re gonna need a good run stop this next Sat

Davis, Walker and Carter going in the 1st round is going to open up the D Line pipeline here like we’ve never had. Carter may be the best of the bunch given that I think this is his 3rd year playing DL. Go Dawgs!

I believe Carter is a true sophomore, here for at least one more season.

That play by Carter made me laugh out loud when I saw it. He just threw the (fairly big) guy aside and then drilled the RB. I know he’s not displacing Jordan Davis this season (nor should he) but next season he will be even more impactful.

Senator, you should repeat that posted tweet from last week where Kirby was ribbing one of our guys for letting Ladd to that very same catch.

If I’m that Vandy player that got tossed aside, I’m requesting a new number for this weeks game so maybe people will forget how badly he was abused.
Ladd McConkey is the perfect example of not every star starts out his college career as a 5 star recruit.
