I still think about these two drives from the MCB:

Early in the 2nd quarter. We had just held Purdue to 3 points to stay up 21-10. Felt like if we score another TD on this drive we choke them out the same way that we did Mizzou and SCar.

We cross midfield after a long pass play. We are in their territory and in striking distance.

1st down: run for 4
2nd down: long pass for Tillman, incomplete, lead him too far. Flagged for HOLDING on Carvin.
2nd down & 22: pass to the sideline, through the hands of Fant. Would have set up 3rd and 10, but he didn't catch it.
3rd down & 22: bomb to no one
PUNT

Next Purdue drive we hold them to another 3.

Our next drive, another chance to score to put some distance in between us and them. We cross midfield AGAIN. 8:00 left.

Key moment:

It was a quick out on the perimeter to Peyton. It's a play we've scored on before, particularly against slower defenses. It would have absolutely got us the 1st down, it may have scored. HE DROPS IT.

All of that, and STILL we pick up the 1st.

Key moment:

3rd & 4 on that same drive. Velus blows by his man in the slot. Just dusts him. Hooker underthrows it to the outside, so Velus has to adjust. Even still, it was a catchable ball.
4th & 4: we get a false start
4th & 9: Hooker gets pressured outside of the pocket. Tillman streaks to the endzone on the play breakdown, but Hooker has no idea where he's going, or just throws a terrible ball, and misses the scoring opportunity.



This 2nd quarter was not unlike many other 2nd quarters we had this season. The defense was not exceptionally bad. The offense WAS moving the ball. However, greed and lack of execution cost us AT LEAST 7 points, possibly as many as 14, and that probably would have been enough to make the game ours.

If we're going to have big balls, or get addicted to big plays, that's fine. I applaud our aggression. But you better execute.

I mean he'll a field goal would have been huge

Even if the sack fumble doesn't happen then I think we win

I've been away from here for a few days. My wife got her eye gouged by our nephew and been making multiple trips to the Dr this weekend. Let's all hope she heals well. Should know soon how it will go. The little one pealed part the sclera off when he got her.

When We play them.....

U. of Tennessee was founded in 1794.....Texas U. was founded in 1883.
Therefore....UT vs TU

That's all !

The University of Tennessee, by name, was set in 1879. The school had previously been named Blount College, East Tennessee College, and East Tennessee University. The Texas Constitution chartered and named the University of Texas in 1876 and the school officially opened in 1883.

Our original school started before the University of Texas was even a state, but the school names are closer in dates.

This is the Saban effect. Kirby dumb has elevated GA, no doubt. No shame in losing to Saban. All close games. I would ask any GA fan who wants Kirby gone, what's your Plan B? Yeah Dabo got Saban, but he got 2 generation QBs in Watson and Lawrence. Secondly, if GA gets the OU QB, look out.

That stuff about the OU QB is just internet trolling. As for Smart, you're right; no football coach these days loses his job for getting beaten by Nick Saban and Alabama. There are people on UGA message boards who wish that would happen, but some of them aren't UGA fans and some of them are just kids/idiots. Most football fans, and most Georgia fans, know that Bama is still the undisputed top team year in and year out from both a talent and a coaching perspective.

Looking at 2022 college rosters, even if Georgia somehow plays well enough to beat Alabama next Monday, by Tuesday morning Bama will be the clear championship favorite for next season.

$30MM #1 class. Wow.

TAMU did exactly what many of us said we should do - but their bigtime donors (not just us lowly RF folks) also thought of it...and actually did it.

You play to win the game. This is how it will work going forward. Hopefully our program can get their $&¡7 together enough to at least put up a fight.

This is what we need our boosters doing. Imagine if Heupel had the kind of talent A&M is bringing in this season. This is the game now. We either jump in or we're going to be even further behind.

I mean we dont need to be world beaters in the second quarter, just don't completely fall off! It doesn't make sense.

If we average 14 in the first we just need at least a field goal in the second and we are probably still in every game we play.

It's still bizarre to look so good and then so incredibly bad. Gotta find a way to sustain some of that.

Maybe Hooker and the offense having more of the playbook to draw from will sure up some of that.

According to Golesh we were drawing from like 10% of the playbook, so it's gotta have something to do with that.

Whats good news is we almost always come out of halftime playing really well.

It’s important too that we have guys that are not only willing to put up the $$$$, but also trust the coaches enough to not make demands when a kid they’ve paid for doesn’t pan out.

Anyone can look like a genius when you have LBs that are as big as other teams' DEs with the speed of other teams' safeties.

They do nothing schematic to be called "great" coaches. Evidently all it takes to be a "great" coach or the "GOAT" coach is have the best bagmen programs in the world backing you. I will have to say though that it takes some good ability to get continously great production out of mercenary players.

If Saban and Kirby ever had to go toe to toe with equal talent every week, then neither would ever be called "great"...and that is a fact.

Despite the way we played in the 2nd Qtr, if Hooker doesn't fumble we still have the lead at the half. I love Heupels aggressiveness, but in that situation probably should just get to halftime and adjust.

We stopped KY on downs with 16 seconds left in the half. Heupel does not take a knee. He goes for a score and collects 3: That 3 was the winning margin at the end of the day.
