I just remember thinking "alright the offense is doing well enough. any minute now the defensive line will unleash hell. any minute now Boo or Brooks will make the big interception. any minute now the big strip or big stop or big anything will happen."

and it just never did

hard to be a bully on the road in this league

even harder to put a top-tier conference opponent out when they're fighting for their lives

Here's the other thing that I hate about playing Georgia.

Last week on the rankings show, they unveiled UGA as the first team out and held us at 7. Already a 12 vs 7 underdog story, even though UGA was a 2 TD favorite. Then Booger said he wants to see UGA OL vs our DL, and that will be the difference in this game. Booger or someone else could have just said "and Georgia hosts Tennessee this weekend as a 10-point favorite. A lot of people favor the dogs in this one." But no

It's like Kirby pays the talking heads $100,000 week to give him bulletin board material. That "UGA OL vs UT DL" comment is enough for him to repeat it every single day and tell the UGA OL how much everyone is doubting them, and they won't be crap in this game, and all this other nonsense.

And then their OL come out and play the unit's best game of the year.

Three and a half years ago this program was dead in the water, cooked, buried 100 feet deep. Heup has done an amazing job getting this program turned around.

We’re a top tier SEC team now, and top 10-15 football team in the country . We’re just not at SECC or national title quality yet….and that’s okay. But I think we’re close, and with the talent we’re bringing in the next couple classes we should be right there competing for titles.

We just got to keep grinding and stacking talent. Our breakthrough will come

We have to make it too big to rig, simple as that. Point shaving is not a exact science and like any fraud can be overcome with overwhelming volume. We have to be so good that there's nothing that can be done. Take it out of the officials' hands. In the big money games we have very little margin for error. It requires that we burn the corruption a time or two and they will go back to being happy with even money on both sides and keeping the juice. Make it to risky push it all in and use us as a big payday.

All the breaks went UGAs way. The fumble recoveries, the silly ref calls, etc. The 3-4 plays that would change the game all fell for UGA.

At the end of the day, it’s home field advantage winning out in the SEC this year. Home records should matter too. That’s why imo they have to put 5 SEC teams in.

Bingo. We didn’t have any breaks. This loss sucked more due to the abc coverage too.


Not that it matters but after watching several people break down film it seems that Nico is flushed out opposite of where he needs to be.

We see receivers open deep at times and Nico is always being forced to the opposite side of the field.

I said in the Braves thread during the game, the fact that we weren't up more after the first quarter was a problem.
We easily should've had 17 if not 21 points. The fact that it was only 10 wasn't a good sign.

Our LBs are inexperienced and really not great at coverage. They got abused badly on Saturday.

To me it looked like UGA y was running different variations of the exact same play. Not only did we not stop it, we werent within 5-10 yards of it at times.

Tim Banks got his pants pulled down around his ankles. Same for Halzle.

I saw one wr crossing downfield from the left, wide open, but Nico had already been flushed out. I think he saw him at the last second, but it was too late. I think Nico ended up getting 4-5 yards on the run though.

we had a couple things slow down our momentum early. If we got out to a bigger lead early, it would have completely rattled Beck. Maybe they still come back but we could have really put a lot of pressure on early and neutralized the crowd.

alas

Good. Finally an early game. I really do wonder if practicing in the evening would've helped us with all the late games this year. Seemed like morning practice really paid off at LSU in '22. . . that + we were pretty good in '22. . . I wish '22 had the '24 defense.

3 scores, they're even more pass happy. We could use our pass rush specialist. At 10 you still have to play the run. Also at a 3 score lead we could've leaned on the run which is this team's strength.

Its like we had one resolute game plan. Once UGA y adjusted, there was no change. We will not be denied out plan of attack, win or lose!!
