1. This is the first time I think we can question Bajakian's play calling. He didn't adjust to quicker passes soon enough. The jet sweep at the goal line was horrendous. Red zone play calling was bad. Maybe it was hard bc the line sucked so bad but dang.

2. Worley can't throw 2 interceptions in the end zone - both were forced and unnecessary. Could have been 27-24.

3. Defense really showed fight and will be dang good by mid season. Owen Williams.

4. Croon :/

5. Darr looked very bad.

6. The officiating in the first half was game changing and not just the missed fumble. We counted a minimum of 7 missed holding calls in the 1st half. Minimum. Call even half of them and that game changes completely.

7. I haven't seen a worse OL at UT in my life. Lot of work to do.

8. Hurd makes some weird direction decisions. Seems like he misses holes and on both long runs it seemed like he could have cut inside for even more yardage.

9. This team will win 7. Only Bama can physically dominate us like that.

After watching our game and the UK-UF game, I'm cautiously optimistic. I'll be even more optimistic after UF cans muschamp. It's happening this year.

That throw to Croom was absolutely not forced. It was a jump ball thrown to a 6'5" WRin single coverage. It was exactly what they wanted.

I've been questioning Bajakian's play calling all along.

The field level camera angle made it look even worse. They were straight hawking that thing. Their defense was way to fast for a telegraphed horizontal play.

Exactly. 6'5" vs 5'11" and Croom had position. That was absolutely disgraceful. The second INT was on play calling and Worley for a bad throw. The one to Croom was all Croom. It's time to come to grips with things. Croom is not an SEC WR. As soon as Von's back, there's no reason for Croom to see the field again.

Easy bro I wouldn't go that far. He didn't have his best game, but he's made plays for us.

Play calling is terrible no words just terrible

Croom well his talent is not what it needs to be in a body like that....he should dominate anyone 1 on 1

Punting - we need to try a new option

C'mon man? Out of all you seen tonight you want Croom to stay out of the game indefinitely?

Darr needs to do something different. Field position is huge, and he isn't helping us in that department.

I'm not feeling quite so negative, a lot to be proud of. My biggest complaints:

- The punting was atrocious. Surely, there is a Colquitt progeny that will mature soon.
- Croom needs to make plays. He's too big and strong to let plays get away from him.
- Playcalling - we seemed married to a couple of screens and sweeps that weren't working.

I can't fault the OL, because they are who they are. We need experience, recruiting success, time, food, iron, food, iron, food, and iron. Butch knows this and it will get better.

Should have been playing for the first down, not a TD. That was IMO 4 down territory to get the first down for at least three more tries at the TD. Worley never should have forced that throw. Hell, he would have been better served to try and pick up the first down by running it himself.

Regardless of who is to blame, that was one of the worst offensive line performances I can remember.

Worley had multiple instances with read option plays where the whole defense bit on our runner and he didn't keep it. On a few of those he had a ton of open field in front of him. Looked like the pass was the called play on that one, though. That would be on the coach calling in plays.

The interception in the end zone was not on Worley in my opinion. You would think a 6'5'' receiver would have snagged that for a TD. It was his ball and he let Sanchez take it away from him.

The 2nd pick was an ill advised throw on an ill advised play call. They ran the ball successfully for the first time all night and then the OC called for a pass on a 3rd and 2. Stupid play call. There were 2 chances to get those 2 yards on the ground.

The SEC officials actually looked as if they were trying to overcompensate for any possible partiality shown to us. They overlooked obvious holding calls as you stated, and it looked as if they were determined to make no calls on any pass interferences. I can assure you Big 12 officials will not return the gratuity when it's their turn.

I thought Hurd did well and I only saw one time where he might have missed an opportunity to pop one outside. Most of the early part of the game, there was nothing there for any ball carrier having the misfortune of running behind our OLine.

And poor Worley took a unmerciful beating tonight thanks to our RG and RT. It was unmerciful. The hit from the blindside and fumble were on Justin himself for not picking up the unblocked end before the snap, but most of the night it was just poor, poor protection and a strong OU rush defense.

UGA is going to blitz the living daylights out of our offensive line. We've got to grow up in a hurry
