What to make of the Georgia performance???

[VolonTyne]

I expected KY to play better after the debacle against South Carolina but the Georgia performance has been surprising to say the least. I expect the Vols will get a better effort from the Dawgs. Not sure the Dawgs can go to Texas and win though.

Not #1

 

[C-south]

It’s not thread worthy.

 

[VolArmy74]

Nothing at all. They do this against Kentucky fairly often. Last year's blowout was the rare exception. Stoops just knows how to stop Kirby's offense for some reason.

 

[Plecoptera]

Georgia is generally good for a game like this each year. It’s often against South Carolina.

They play at Bama next week folks. Gameday will be in norman to watch us beat those dumb okies tho

 

[RockyTop140]

Kentucky has given Georgia some hard fought games over the years. Not last year, but we’ve seen stuff like this before. I expect Georgia to clean it up offensively.

I do think we match up better against them than we have in a while though.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Georgia fans will say they played down to the competition. We'll soon see. The top may not be as far away as some would have you believe. This season I don't see a team that should physically dominate us. Which means that we can play with anyone. Which is wild.

Georgia's play-calling was even more conservative than usual tonight. I think Kentucky was able to run the ball a little better than they had expected (170 yards rushing) and that caught them off guard. That limited their time of possession (24 minutes) and they weren't playing with a short field tonight on offense, like they can usually count on.

Two weeks. Georgia has a bye this week.

Take nothing away from this performance. Same with the UF performance against TAMU. They have no bearing on our games with them.

Georgia has no offense. They lost alot of their production at the skill positions from previous seasons and haven't done a great job replacing them. In fact, they've developed no one. They did bring in in a few transfers, but no one has really stepped up as a reliable target in the offense. They brought in, Etienne at RB, but he has always been overrated to me. I think UGA is much more vulnerable this year.


I don't think it can be underestimated how Heupel's presence in the SEC has affected other programs ability to recruit offense. We took Mike Matthews out of Georgia's backyard. Same with Ethan Davis. The top offensive talent is choosing to come to Tennessee first. Georgia gets first choice for defensive talent, but not so much for offensive talent.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Georgia always has a scare or two just like this, then they go on and win the NC

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Georgia lost a lot on offense, and they are paying for it. Defense is still legit. Only top-notch offenses in the SEC this year are VOLS, OM, and Tex

UGA has no offense . That’s insane. They stumbled against UK. Big deal.

 

[Carp]

I mentioned in other threads that I think UGA will lose 2-3 games this year. They don't have the elite skill players on offense that they've previously had. And I am not a firm believer in Beck being this elite NFL QB prospect.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Uga has a game like this every year. Kentucky did an awesome job of making the game short and running a lot of clock.

If they have slow halves like this against Texas or Bama they could lose those games.

I wouldnt make a single assumption about them for our game though based on today. We’ll get their best, in Athens nonetheless.

 

[MurphyVol]

They do this every year. Last year Auburn had them on the ropes, in 2022 Mizzou lost to them on a a bad call. Unfortunately, they'll be fine

Georgia plays Alabama, Texas and Ole Miss before playing Tennessee. We will know where they stand well before they play Tennessee.

Saban and Smart were hurt when paying players was extended to teams other than Alabama and Georgia. That eliminated a huge schematic advantage and I don’t think either team has the depth quality they had five years ago. Although it’s still very good.

 

[Volnanza]

Georgia just played their FIRST SEC road game of the year last night. Next week we play OUR first SEC road game. It will be a dog fight. I would be happy with a 1 point win. I don't think even the most misguided VOL fan would say that playing at night in Lexington is tougher than playing at night in Norman. It's time to chinch up the chin strap and get ready to battle.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I do think our offense is better than Georgia’s this year.

They lack game changers at RBs and WRs.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

They suck more than the suckiest suck has ever sucked.
