[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 710494, member: 4572"] Yeah. I’m not surprised Techhad that few yards of total offense. Considering Georgia had one of the best statistical defensive in the country. It’s almost like, when the second half started, the wind had been sucked out of Tech’s team for some reason. Like something big happened. I don’t know what that could’ve been. Not capitalizing on forced turnovers? Nah. That couldn’t be it. You said Georgia just fumbled it away apparently on purpose 3 times. Missing a field goal to make it a one score game? Nah. Game was never going to be competitive anyway. Wouldn’t have mattered what the score was. Not capitalizing on a successful onside kick? Nah. Those are lame. Never help anything. Look. I’m not saying that 2019 COFH was some sort of heroic performance in the first half. The offensive side of the ball was pretty pathetic. But given Georgia’s strength was defense, and we basically had no offense anyway, the game was respectable, and could’ve been waaayyy closer had the first half not ended on that extreme low note. If you don’t believe me, take a gander at the game stats from the South Carolina vs. Georgia game compared to the Tech game. (USC vs. UGA on primary bullet points, Tech vs UGA on secondaries) Total yards [LIST] [*]USC: 297 [*]UGA: 468 [LIST] [*]GT: 139 [*]UGA: 500 [/LIST] [/LIST] First downs [LIST] [*]USC: 16 (5-18 on 3rd down) [*]UGA: 30 (9-18 on 3rd down) [LIST] [*]GT: 7 (3-17 on 3rd down) [*]UGA: 26 (7-13 on 3rd down) [/LIST] [/LIST] Penalties [LIST] [*]USC: 11 for 68 yards [*]UGA: 6 for 60 yards [LIST] [*]GT: 4 for 34 yards [*]UGA: 0 for 0 yards [/LIST] [/LIST] Time of Possession [LIST] [*]USC: 23:56 [*]UGA: 36:04 [LIST] [*]GT: 29:48 [*]UGA: 30:12 [/LIST] [/LIST] Turnovers [LIST] [*]USC: 0 [*]UGA: 4 [LIST] [*]GT: 1 [*]UGA: 3 [/LIST] [/LIST] Field goals [LIST] [*]USC: 2-4 [*]UGA: 1-2 [LIST] [*]GT: 0-1 [*]UGA: 0-0 [/LIST] [/LIST] So why, given these numbers, was South Carolina not only considered competitive, but they actually won the game? While Tech wasn’t competitive at all? The only major difference is in total yards. The reason the score was so much worse was because in the second half (once Tech was out of life) Georgia began getting huge chunks of yards and had multiple gash plays on every drive.
