Tennessee was fine. Georgia was fine. What we saw was an appropriate result for both of those teams being fine.
Vegas told us three scores should have separated these teams in this game, and three scores ultimately separated these teams in this game. Neither team was great. Neither team was terrible. Both teams were more or less themselves.
Velus Jones, UT wide receiver:
“They (Georgia) are a good football team, but we’re a good football team as well,” said Jones, who caught eight passes for 44 yards and a touchdown. “That just shows how close we are to putting the whole thing together.”
It’s always impressive to see what a meaningless score in garbage time does for a team’s confidence.
Wes has been particularly whoreish with regards to this TN team. Their entire offense is a gimmick that teams will 100% figure out within a year.

I agree. To me the “warp speed” is the new triple option. The law of diminishing returns is going to kick in with this thing big time I believe. The dawg grading started before the game was even over. And how desperately did Tennessee want their moral victory there at the end? I mean it was kind of pitiful how important that was to them. What’s worse is, that was what they led with on the wrap up show on CBS about this game. “Tennessee’s offense doesn’t what no other offense could do.” Yeah it was in garbage time. Yeah Georgia crusher Tennessee. But it’s Georgia. We’ve got to find a black mark on it somewhere.

It’s completely chickenshit. At least the 3O was designed to schematically gain advantages. Heupel’s entire offense is based on trying to run plays while defenses aren’t ready. It’s an absurd offense, and they have players either not getting set, or moving every other snap.

Their most effective play is being ready to run to the LOS when the defense makes substitution. It’s also heavily aided by phantom PI and offensive PI that gets called as defensive PI.

Kirby slowed that offense the best way you can which is with ‘injuries’ after big momentum plays. I have no problem with it. Their offense is trash.

Ask the blue pussy cats and their chicken shit coach how much calling a timeout with 4 seconds left to score a meaningless TD on UGA improved his team’s confidence the next two weeks.

“…three scores ultimately separated the two teams in this game…” while technically accurate, that is a losing-homer stretch if I’ve ever heard one. In reality, you have to cross the goal line six times to get 24 points off “three scores”… easier to get 3 points on a fourth possession that to get three more trips to our goal line, and 6 more plays across it.
When your genius concept can be halted by a cramp in your opponent’s calf, you aren’t formidable… you’re a nuisance.

Perfect summation. But good gracious the howling that was going on here early in the game. You would have thought Tennessee was ahead 21-0 with one of those touchdowns coming off a Stetson pick six. Bennett needed to not only be benched but run out of Athens with extreme prejudice. Monken was calling a horrible game. Our offensive line sucked. The defense sucked now too. We’ve got us one heck of neurotic little peanut gallery. They’re small but they are loud and determined.

It’s amazing how far we’ve come since 2016. In 2016 I had to go to a wedding out here in California on the weekend of the Vanderbilt game (you know, the one we lost). The groom’s parents were from North Georgia and, sadly, were ut alumni. Some of his other relatives were good folks, UGA fans, and I can’t tell you all the crap we took about losing to vandy. It was tough to be a Dawg in 2016,sometimes, but it’s sure great to be one now.
