With all that said...still not stretching the field.

A brand new goalpost? One at a time!

Not stretching the field, relative to who? In the SEC he has the 2nd most attempts of 20+ yards and is 2nd in those completions...

NEXT MYTH!

Do any of you have any actual facts to support your myths or just throw them out as fuzzy ideas in your head that you've built up?

Oops, it was! I was being an internet grandpa and reading a thread 1 day old.


Because it would totally be badass. Funnel in our own theme music "Return of the Mack", get the whole sideline jumping, then go kick arse.

Why...Mack? It’s not part of his name. 🤨 Is that the first iTunes that pops up when you hit shuffle? And are you suggesting strong-arming the press box? They’re not going to hear it.

Fwiw, 1 hour ago in the teleconference "Full Pruitt quote: “Bryce has practiced with us for the last two weeks. We’re going to continue to stay on that path. He’s going to practice with us and we’ll make that decision when the time comes.”

Most just expect he will play, but I don't think it will be announced before gameday, if announced at all. Imo sit him the first play, then call a TO...trot BT out there and have him go right up to Van Jefferson and talk shiz. GAME ON

Is wasting the TO necessary?

Alright, here are his throws on 3rd or 4th down that went to or past the sticks.

Ga St - 6/9 - 2 short of the stick throws were on 3rd & 17 and 3rd & 20 and got us into field goal range.

BYU - 8/12 - again 2 of them were on plays of 15 or more yards and got us into field goal range.

Chattanooga - 1/1

Total: 15/22 68% thrown to the sticks or beyond. Again, the NFL median is 43%. 4 of the 7 thrown short were on very long 3rd downs and got us closer to a field goal (or a TD in the case of our first drive vs BYU).

I think sport fans, like poker players taking bad beats, tend to remember the worst things in their mind and exaggerate them (not intentionally, some things just stick out in our minds and tend to be the negative).

Thanks! I was asking because I didn't know. I had found the NFL number.
If it's not too much trouble, what were the completions among the 6, 8, and 1 attempts at ALEX ≤ 0? Also, per learning how to fish, so to speak, where would I find the raw data?
As per the fandom remarks, I think our backs in space is quite a weapon so I am not likely as negative as you perhaps think.
Thanks again.
Edit: removed my comment per stretching the field when I belatedly observed above you don't want to enter into that subject at present.

We lost 14-12. Had the ball on their 35. Refs really screwed us tonight. It was 4-15 our WB hit a quick slant and our Wideout took it for 16 yards and the ref marked him back 4 yards due to him getting hit and stumbling backwards. He ran it to the 9 and there safety came over and smacked him. Was a good game. My brother had two sacks including a strip in their end zone. We get them back in two weeks with another chance to now clinch a spot in the playoffs.

Not sure of your question.

That stat isn't reported anywhere for college afaik, though the underlying data exists in the databases, just have to create the formula and report it publicly. I just have the video and play by plays and took about 10 minutes to look at. Was kinda curious myself.

Kirby has benefited off greatly off what Richt built. I always said the second Georgia fired him, we should’ve canned lyles ass and hired him.

Uga lost to every good team they played last year besides Florida. Got fanned by LSU and texas too.

I'm still hoping he comes here IF CJP doesn't pan out. I think he's a good coach, great recruiter, and most importantly he seems like a good man.

The question was: how many of the 6, 8, and 1 attempts at or beyond the stick were complete, IF you have already made note of it. If not, let's not worry about it.

The only people upset about BT playing are TN fans.

Also.. @Kingston Vol and @HankHill both have extremely bad and unpopular takes that I vehemently disagree with sometimes..but neither of those guys are trolls...

I mean come on people..🤦‍♂️

I agree. Both of those names, as well as yours, have been here since I can remember. long before me too. While I don't agree with everything that anyone says in here they bring valuable info and opinions that keeps the forum moving. Keep it up guys!

Got ya. I didn't note it, but I'm pretty sure all 7 passes short of the marker were completed passes and cfbstats has him 17 of 22 on 3rd/4th down passes, which would leave his longer passes 10/15.
