[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 991101, member: 6459"] Why'd they rest some of those guys against Bama too then? You can say "lucky" that they were injured, then... but they only forced 2 punts all game and I don't think TEs/WRs help with that much. It's hard to just sit back and cruise to an easy victory at half speed when you can't get the other team off the field consistently. What UGA [B]did[/B] was more of a "let's try to avoid giving this away" strategy instead of a "we are clearly better and can toy with them strategy." They found their matchup that worked out best for them - the ground attack - and they pounded it relentlessly. And they had a clear advantage there. Of course, that's slower and makes it harder to drop 50 points, but that wasn't because they were holding things back, it's because going away from that would've been higher risk. But for most of the game they led by 1 or 2 scores, which isn't a "take it easy" situation at all. (When they did get a bit more aggressive in the 4th, after briefly leading by 3 scores and trying to get back there, they threw a pick - unfortunately for GT they were otherwise smart enough to not go away from what was working.)
