Anyone blaming Peterman for the loss should rewatch the game. He played poorly, but Bajakian put him in a horrible situation with some of those playcalls. Very few quick hitters, mostly long developing plays with no pass protection.
Our offensive playcalling was horrible after the first 2 drives. We actually used some new plays then and had some success, then we morphed back into the same ole, same ole and were horrible for most of the game.
For all the talk Butch gives about special teams, our kicking teams are a joke. Every single aspect. Medley played a good game today so props to him. But our kick coverage is a joke. Allowing them to down the ball at the 1 cost us the game. Whoever wins special teams wins the game more often than not.
Georgia threw two picks and fumbled twice and we could not take advantage, You absolutely can not go on the road and blow those opportunities.
Two fumbles on the QB/RB exchange is unacceptable.
Gurley was clearly the best player on the field and we had some trouble bringing him down, but the defense played a very good game.
The line, specifically Kerbyson, were bad protecting Worley and Peterman. The quarterbacks have to do a better job recognizing blitzes though. Many times there were unblocked defenders by design. The QB has to read that and throw hot.
Jalen Hurd and Ethan Wolf are really, really good. The only thing Hurd lacks is breakaway speed. That may hold him back some.
I'm sick of the "we're young" excuse. At some point you've got to quit making excuses, man up, and execute.
Overall, this game put me in a bad mood. We were close to winning, but we blew nearly every chance we had. That's just unacceptable. Georgia isn't that great. They did everything they could to give us this game and we handed it back to them.
