took last nights loss pretty hard.

I mean, uga is as vulnerable as they’ve ever been. They’re not that good. Top 3 backs missing. Top 3 receivers missing. Mash unit OL.

And they dominated us post first quarter.

It’s the kind of game that really makes me wonder if we’ll ever be elite again.

And I love me some Heupel, but I’m seriously doubting his system can win in the SEC.

UGA would be overall favorite in a 12 team playoff. Who would you have over them? Oregon? OSU? I don’t think so. Neither team is tough enough nor do they have the overall personnel.

On a neutral field we could give them as much as anyone else. Maybe we find out.

What do you mean by “win in the SEC?” Are you hoping to never lose a conference game again?

I think it’s clear his system wins in the SEC. UGA has just been a thorn in his side because they’ve either been elite when he has played them or they’re a cornered animal that desperately needs to beat us and we had to play them at their place at night.

People need to step away from the ledge. UGA hasn’t lost a home game in 5+ years, and nobody is outtalenting them. They were in a must win situation. They hit an intensity level we couldn’t match in the second half.

I understand the frustration because we were close, but the reality is we still lack talent at multiple positions and UGA capitalized.

UGA's defense scheme wise is elite compared to the Vols high school level. Tim Banks did nothing. He never adjusted. If you asked GA to outline the perfect defense for them to go against, it would be that one.

The Vols defense looks great if you can pressure the QB with 4/5 guys. When you can't, it's game over. It's the same script we've seen play out since he's been here.

We you call people out when they criticize Banks and they win, you need to accept the beat down when they suck. "Oh, he just had a bad game" doesn't cut it.

I mean the job of the defense is to keep them from scoring, right? 4/5 straight drives isn't doing that. The bend but don't break, broke. 😅

Absolutely can call out. That’s why I agreed he had a bad game.

I’m just not ignoring all the good games and saying Vols will never win anything of significance with him as DC.

Ah, the bards are once again singing the Ballad of Alex the Great.

They mysteriously took a week off, though. Seems strange.

Always strange to have the Glosh truthers when we have WR's open but overthrow them, ball gets to open WR and they drop it, or play is open in the pass or run game only to have the OL miss a block.

Is Glosh a better OC than Hazle? Who knows. It's an apples to oranges comparison. One had Hooker/better OL/NFL WR's while the other had Milton/freshman QB/worse OL/average WR's.

Here’s where I am at: we are getting closer to Georgia and that is good to see. I was pretty discouraged last night with the way the defense played. If you had told me that we would have scored 17 in the first half I would have felt GREAT about us winning. Defense just wasn’t as sharp tonight. 10-2 in 2/3 years is a great step in the right direction as a program.

I said last night, I’m not normally a “blame the officials” guy but that was really bad. Georgia fumbled the ball twice (on drives they scored I’m pretty sure) and one was reviewed and called back, and another wasn’t even looked at. I have never once in my life seen officials AFTER the play to review for 12 men on the field the way they did. Not to mention the bad facemask penalty that gave them a first down when it would’ve been 3rd and long on our side of the field. False starts not getting called on the last drive of the game. I could go on and on.

It was so obviously one sided and that to me is so frustrating as someone who loves CFB. I’ll never understand how a former ALABAMA QB is allowed to call games in this conference. I also could go without ever hearing Chris Fowler calling one of our games, he clearly does not like us and lets his bias get in the way. GBO 🍊

This alone is the refs helping UGA win. They correctly call that and the game is in OT. (I could also assume Tennessee get at least one FG with one of the TOs) So really the refs beat Tennessee. Not Georgia

It’s hilarious that we say “well UGA was more talented blah blah blah” and then when it comes to recruiting we’re like “hell yeah, rankings don’t matter”

Which is it because I’m confused? Lol

When you're talking about upper crust, and I mean top 5 in CFB. Yeah, it does matter.

The 'recruiting is great' folks saying a top 15 class cuts it, arent seeing it. Our projects arent cutting it. ill saying it one last time.

If I can see WR, OL, Safety, and DL (not DE) arent that talented. Houston, we have a problem.

Ohh we had a better OL then?

We had many of same issues, we just had Darnell Wright which equalized many issues. The constant has been Ellarbee, who is notna great, or even good recruiter here in Y4

Bama isn't losing.

But keep an eye on Ole miss at Florida next weekend and Texas at aTm week after... And OSU to obliterate IU next weekend... None of that is super far fetched either.

But until then... Tuesday night probably won't be a ton of fun. I fully expect us to be out of it on the next rendition.

I think us and UGA swap places next week.

Yep. People say just get a top 10 class or whatever, but there's a reason teams like UGA are winning and consistently recruiting 1 or 2.
Our 25 class is kinda bad ranking wise, especially when it comes to closing the gap against UGA.

Glen has been here as long as Heupel and theres not a single HS OL recruit ready to play under his watch. That along with WR, LB and honestly Safety play is just in embarrassing shape right now.

Yep, safeties were nowhere to be found on a couple TD’s and several first down conversions.

We are still in our Clemson 2009-2014 phase.

Need to keep stacking 10 win seasons to reach the next level as a program.

Clemson fired their good but never elite defensive and offensive coordinators to make that jump as well. Recruiting went from the teens to top 5-10 every year and their elite run took place 2015-2020
