They scored 55 on Vandy. They would have scored 55 on us if they could. Throwing deep is not the only way to score. I give all credit to our defense. 27 for Georgia should have been a win for us. But our offense did not make the trip to Athens.

They made the trip. The offense was dominated by their D and the crowd.

It’s amazing how many of our fans don’t recognize that UGA could have won by 21 easily, if they wanted to. There’s no shame in them being a much better team tight now. They should be.

If is the operative word to this and similar quotes. Such as, if Tennessee had completed our passes that we missed, we would have won. Or, if the dawgs weren’t scared of our offense they might have completed more passes in the second half. Or if Tennessees defense hadn’t shut the dawgs down they could have scored more.

If people really think Tennessee "shut them down" in the second half, and it had nothing to do with rain and them knowing they had it in the bag, then youall have fun with that.

I'd say you scored what you could. KY and UGA were the only two P5 games we showed we could keep opponents out of the end zone. UT defense is just now settling in. Kirby don't smooze around like he don't want to score for a few drives. THat's bogus. UGA, however, did do something no one else has done and that was rattle HH. Ya'll didn't even rattle him that bad at UT last last year. He was off his game in a bad way. No way CKS accepts that 27 points was enough. 14 points in that game after the media bath they all had I promise you has him pissed. He wanted nothing short of a blowout. Everyone and their dawg knows that if UT could have found any kind of spark, it was going to be a sprint to the finish.

One thing I didn't get however is why Milton didn't get a possession or 2 to get HH on the sidelines and re-program him.

Of course Kirby wants to score. Thats how you win games. But when you up 21 against a team that has shown no threat to your defense and your banged up in the rain, your play calling changes. We were with out best WR, McIntosh is hurt, That was Miltons first gane back, our starting LG was out, Mims was out. Thats just the offense. At that point holding the ball for 8 minutes and keeping yall best unit on the sideline was the goal. Kirby is notorious for doing that. Vandy is the expection. And Oregon to a certain extent.

So why wouldn’t you run up the score on the #1 team to make it look even better? We can sit here all day and claim this and that, but at the end of the day it was a 14 point game. The results speak, not what could have been.

If a game is won and its clear i can win with no health risks, why risk it? We all watched the same game. That was a beat down. Yall had no answer in the trenches and yall secondary didnt stand a chance. We threw the ball 4 times in the second quarter and thats with a 8 minute 3rd quarter drive lol. But hey, good season.

The result was 27-13 no matter how you wanna spin it. Nothing you say changes that result and our season is far from over.

I watched a few qtrs.It felt like Ga was just the better team.Ga just has so many great players especially their TE and that other huge giant of a man he's a total mismatch against anybody. I love that the Vols are back I can't believe we're 8-1 no way would I have thought this,and we are still in the playoff hunt.Alabama is having a horrible year by their standards. We can win out and still have a outside shot at the playoff.Vol fans should be jumping for joy.We need a few more dudes in the trenches and we could take the next step.

Getting tired of seeing this BS. They had two turnovers, 3 three-and-outs, and were forced to kick 2 FGs. It’s pretty dumb to think that they weren’t trying to move the ball when they called run plays on 3rd & short. A called run does not equate to not trying

It was the fact that he rarely threw in the 2nd half so there was no balance to keep us honest. We were able to commit to stopping the run and they were content to let us cause Kirby knew we weren’t ripping off 21 pts. It was no different than us vs UK; when Hyatt scored right before the half, the game was over. Games have feels and anyone should’ve felt we weren’t going to challenge UGA anymore than we had.

Woulda could shoulda. Tennessee missed a couple TD shots as well. The game could have easily went a few ways. Spin it how ya want it was a 2 touchdown game. GBO

But we did and that’s why we weren’t a threat on that particular day. We missed those cause Hooker was off/rattled/pressing/UGA defense that good (whatever word you want to use). The first drive showed that, despite being 5-5 he was high, late, ball not on right spot etc. Our guys had few shots to get any YAC. It felt “off” offensively from the get go.

Not trying to be rude here. I've just seen this idea communicated repeatedly and it's not true. They only had 5 drives because the 1st drive took almost 9 minutes off the clock. We also had 2 drives of over 5 minutes. The first time Georgia called a run where they might otherwise have called a pass was on 3rd & 21 with under 7 minutes left in the game. That was the first and maybe the only conservative decision for Kirby all game. On their next drive they got the ball with 4:15 left. They threw a 40 yard bomb on 3rd down and it fell incomplete because Wesley Walker smothered it. They got the ball back again with under 3 minutes left and they ran out the clock to end the game. Everyone saying UGA took their foot off the gas needs to just stop.

They destroyed us in the 1st half because they connected on 3 big pass plays. The perfectly thrown and perfectly defended seam route, the double move on PA that torched Slaughter, and the wheel route we had double covered but somehow got behind McCullough. They attempted big passes in the 2nd half but didn’t connect. They beat us soundly and controlled the game start to finish, but they did not dominate us in the trenches the way people think they did, and they did not move the ball any time they wanted.

They have a better team but we are good enough to beat to them. Need Hooker to play better next time.

UGA fan... yall wouldnt accept my normal tag... But UGA scored what they wanted. We are a banged up squad and getting the clock too 0 was the goal once it became apparent that yall didnt have enough to beat us.

Nothing I said doesn’t mean we’re not capable of beating them and the “they could’ve beat us by 40” is hyperbole but on Saturday, however, Kirby definitely took the air out of the ball and knew the game was in hand at the half. Your point of IF we connect on those it’s a different game, is true, but we weren’t connecting Saturday and it was obvious, early on, that we weren’t going to and therefore the game’s outcome wasn’t hanging in the balance.

It's a myth bro. Read my previous post, I summarized it for you. If you don't want to take my word for it, watch the 2nd half again for yourself.

Couple of dropped passes could've been 14 points for us. Since we're living in the make believe land of candies and nuts where it's Christmas every day. There's no way Georgia took their foot off the gas against a dangerous offense like ours.
