2024 non-GT games thread

Poor dook , kinda if a boring game tbh

On any play call you are spot on.
But after 85% of grest sucess at one method and then failing after shifting to a different method, thats defintion of failure

It’s always a trade off. Teams down late change how their offense operates. Our blitzed are generally not successful. Attempting to make an opponent going out a long drive is sound theory. Poor execution destroys that theory.

Az St blitzing in an attempt to force the Texas QB to make a quick throw that is short of the EZ is also sound in theory. Poor execution trumps sound theory.

Our coverage was poor dropping 8 into coverage. Az St’s coverage in mam to man with a blitz.

We both lost. It happens. The other team made plays.

I’ve already heard dwag fans saying “If Beck had played, we would have won!” As my high school coach used to say (and keep in mind he went to u(sic)ga), “If “if’s” we’re points, Georgia would be national champions every year “.

It doesn't matter if Tom Brady or Joe Montana was their QB this year. Throwing is only part of the equation. Catching the ball also matters. It's hard to imagine a worse group of receivers than what they had this year.

Kind of funny since last week all I heard them say was that they were glad Beck couldn't play and that Stockton was the real deal and should have been starting all season.

Question for someone with more football knowledge than myself...why does UGa struggle so much with the QB keeper? We saw Haynes King have a career day against them, and while not anywhere near that level, one of Notre Dame's best plays was Riley Leonard running the ball. I know both are good runners, but it still seems odd to me. Any thoughts?

Iiuc, qb sneak adds an extra blocker. Maybe it's that simple?

Is this part of a game?

Be who you want to be...

I was gonna make a joke about identifying as 'frank', but didn't wanna get can'tsell'd.

Texas was a 4th and 13 from being eliminated. How did that guy get behind coverage in the red zone?

Almost as heartbroken by that as any Arizona State fan.

I'm in the minority, I know, but I like ND. I haven't always, but at some point I realized they play real student athletes and run a clean program. The turning point came many years ago. A long time ago --- maybe back to O'Leary ---- Tech opened at South Bend. We were underdogs but won big. Someone posted on the Hive that leaving the Stadium he couldn't believe what good sports the ND fans were. No bitterness, just complimentary of Tech. Then several more Hivers added they had had the same experience. It changed my view of the Irish.

I had to leave the tv with about seven minutes to play. Georgia had the ball at about the ND 12. How did Georgia get no points?

Yeah, if I come clean about it I don’t really hate Notre Dame. I started to hate them when Dan Devine was the coach and that continued with Lou Holtz. But in the meantime I attended a Tech home game with Notre Dame and a family from South Bend was near me. When “Rambling Wreck” was played they actually sang and clapped along. Then I realized that for them college football was just clean wholesome fun. Since then I’ve felt more amiable toward them. And I certainly think their emphasis on student athletes makes them kindred spirits in a world of phony students and paid professionals.

Notre Dame.

Ohio State is a buzz saw right now. Texas fixin to find out.

"Bu... we had a bie. Don't dat mean we s'posed to blew em owt?" - avg dawg fan

Looks like all that rest Kirby was bragging about getting after the $eC championship game really helped them out. In fact, they liked it so much that they decided to go ahead and get a full offseason’s worth of rest early

 

[Northeast Stinger]

It’s ok with me if we continue this thread in perpetuity. We’ve certainly had lots of long winded threads that were not as fun, pounding dead horses, starting contentious arguments between fans, or getting deep in the weeds about some arcane point in a contract. This is much more fun.

Uga losing is like Christmas, my birthday, and a bright shiny new year all wrapped up together.

The Gator Bowl guy that suggested bidding Duke and Ole miss for their bowl game is getting on the hot seat. What a horrible matchup.

Malik Murphy was headed to the transfer portal as bowls were being selected, people knew.

Ole miss is talented and with a rage bait coach, they could have gotten record setting views with a team like Colorado or Miami. The type of game everybody wants both sides to lose.

I am 100% aligned with this. I was at ND when we won big and when we lost big. Both times their fans were amazing before and after the games. I won’t go so far as to say I’m a ND fan but I like them better than most teams out there.

Root, please read
for 75% game we kicked uga butt.

Then we put in 3 man line.

ND coaches kept pedal down and barely won.

We kicked uga *** in athens till 5 minutes left.

 

[kg01]

Best part of uGA's coach's post-game whining is his clear ignorance of the rules. Calls out the refs for letting ND sub 11-for-11, "dey don't lettuce do that in tha ess-ee-cee".

If his dumbarse knew the rules he would've caught the subtle maneuver by ND that made it legal. Like their coaches were dumb enough to not know how to execute the play.

Tha SEC, it just means mor(ons)e.

In theory that might have worked. It couldn’t have worked worse. Still games change significantly in the 4th quarter because both teams play differently.

After the fact it looks bad because it didn’t work. Of course we did not rush only 3 on every play. We rushed 5 a few times in the 4th qtr and it made no difference. The defense simply played poorly regardless of scheme that quarter.

Just another coincidence, Nothing to see here.

In Kirby’s defense, rules usually aren’t important when u(sic)ga is playing out of conference teams.
