Georgia barely beat a bad ND team. Georgia is vulnerable. They will lose several games this year.
SEC East is wide open.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Worse imagine them if they wax MSU and then boat race UT.

Ugh!!!

Then we can really get serious and Firing someone

I’m kind of with this

LSU obviously is flawed too. If the last game is our worst performance, we may run it outside of Bama. Lotta ball to play

Their defense is elite. They held Clemson to under 300 yards and 14 points. They allow less yards than Uga and allow 4 less points than Uga and have more sacks.... just cause they offense is bad doesn't mean their defense is lol

Did you watch the Mercer game? They were in legitimate danger of losing until late. They're not a good team at all.

 

[bignewt]

Nah just spitting some truth dog

into the urinal I would bet.

If they can work the kinks out with the O, both are definitely winnable.
I can truthfully say, I'm not too concerned with the D. I trust in Shoop, and after his interview the other day, I have full faith, he knows how to fix it, and will.

Hard to see us slowing down UGA's running game.

 

[Billy Antrim]

I didn't want to be the one tell you you guys but after 4 days, someone needs to.

We haven't fired our current coach and we're still going to play this season.

Thanks for trying. :good!:

I'm much more worried about their DL. If QD spooks so easily at the potential of pressure, he's going to really freak out against that DL.

 

[Billy Antrim]

Please resist the urge to go full blown retard over this loss. The Jethro moron mafia is out in full force. How bout we play another game or two....... and see how the season goes before we bury our coaches
Or does that make too much freaking sense for some of you idiots?

Thank you. :hi:

Will be tough. Will have to score a lot to win.

31-28

I get that the players made some mistakes but it's the coaches job to put them in favorable positions. This loss was on the coaches.

Blame for losses always fall squarely on the HC, however, the coaches did not lose this game, IMO.

6-3 game you don't throw a hitch from inside your own 10 with a shaky QB and aggressive D. You run and if you don't get the first you punt.

1st and goal inside the one you run, then run, then run again, from under center or a wildcat with JK and Chandler.

It was a called run on 1st down that was blown dead because Jack Jones had the false start, moving the ball back to the 6. On 1st down from the 6, from the alignment it looked like the initial call was another handful to JJ, as everyone was in tight with 2 receivers spread to the right. It was QD, not the coaches, who checked into a passing play, as he should have, because he saw that UF had 9 defenders in the box and he had 2 one on one matchups on the outside. And he threw the perfect catchable pass to Palmer on his outside shoulder where only he could catch the ball. But Palmer made a freshman mistake and turned to look back over his left shoulder instead of his right, so that he had to do a 360* turn to get to the ball, and he didn't secure it. But it was a perfect read by QD and a good throw. On 2nd down it was a screen to JK, giving him the ball in space, but UF just did a nice job of sniffing it out. And then on 3rd and goal from the 6 your options are more limited. But bottom line, the intent was to run initially, but first a penalty, and then QD saw a packed box and one on one opportunities on the outside. If freshman WR doesn't make a freshman mistake that was an easy 6 pts.

1st and goal from the 9 you run, then run again, then depending on the first two plays either run again or throw a safe pass that can't get intercepted, all while running the clock down.

It depends on how the defense is aligned. I assume you are referring to UT's last drive. The coaches, or QD, obviously saw something in UF's alignment that made them go to the throw on first down, and I am having a hard time understanding why anyone is complaining about it. The middle of the defense was wide open and JK snuck into the void for what should have been a wide open TD, but JK simply didn't secure the ball. Pretty sure JK would tell you that was on him, not the coaches.

those points aren't really even debatable.

With all due respect, those points are very debatable. A good offense takes advantage of what the defense shows. And in those 2 series UT took advantage of what UF was showing defensively and should have had easy TDs in both situations if a player had executed correctly.

College football is super weird so it feels like if Georgia wins this week they'll lose to us but if Mississippi State beats them this week they'll rally and beat us next week.

Could easily lose both too. We shouldn't be lacking for our own motivation. I think UGA wins vs Ms St though.

 

[VOL-uh-tile]

Can we stop talking about new coaches? If somehow VN came to a total consensus on who the next guy should definitely be, then what? Currie looks and says Ah, there we go no need for a search firm. It's also agonizingly repetitive and putting your hopes in this other guy is just another exercise in futility. Just let what happens happen.

 

[UT_King]

Beat UGA and its still game on for the East, Florida WILL lose at least 2-3 SEC games. Now my faith in Butch is little to none, but we definitely have a good shot at UGA at home. The real question is can Butch win against the UKs, SCs, and Vandys of the SEC.

I'm with you - but isn't it so crazy we're more confident we can beat Georgia than Vanderbilt? Lol.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

We have a better chance of beating those teams with JG

 

[Vols4us]

Yup. Honestly which scenario is more likely?

I think them winning the next two over losing the next two.

The media will bump them up. The SEC media will be puffing out their chests saying that is our pick for the East. Look at them dominate.

And Smart will look like a great hire.

Would that not prove he was a great hire? I know that's not the narrative on here. That's the Smart is dumb and Chaney is fat and terrible stuff.

We would be saying Butch was a great hire if he won 10 games once in his first 4 years, much less play for a SEC championship and a possible NC. Instead we lose to Vandy, USCe, a bad UF team, etc. and eliminate the possibility.

only a 23.8% chance they beat both Miss St. and Tennessee according to FPI.

FWIW, Tennessee has a 47.5% chance of beating both Umass and UGA.

If Dormady could just cut out the turnovers, I'd disagree. But he's got 5 TOs in the past two games and was lucky to have none against GT.


Him being able to be smart with and protect the ball was supposed to be what separated him from JG. If he can't even do that, then we might as well throw the higher upside guy out there and start developing him, IMO.

also a 26% percent chance UGA loses both games.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

How bad is Butch really if Kirby is able to win 10 in his second year as a head coach after being terrible last year? Butch will look so much worse in that scenario

Exactly this.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

I'll post some other interesting (at least to me) FPI predictions.

Vandy has a 14.2% of losing its next 5 games in a row. Consider that our current chance of beating Alabama is 11%, and Vandy has a greater chance of losing 5 in a row than we do of beating the Tide.
