Fumbles were a result of good hits by defenders. We were talking about the officiating which was consistently bad and consistently one sided. The "what-if" game when looked at in that context has Tech winning in a blow out. That was the only point we were making.
Well, actually, I would. But that may just be me.
Chubb had 36 yards on their first drive and then had a 65 yard run later in the 1Q. He was absolutely shut down after that.
Please stop calling opinions "facts."
Again , he had 120 yards and score. That's not totally shutting somebody down. Whether he had a few big runs or not. We don't talk about our receivers having the YPC so high because of one or two plays do we ? I'm not trying defend the mutts by any means but some of you guys just tend to look away from the truth than actually confront it.
If you don't think the ball game is totally different with Gurley in the game than you need to go watch more film of him. He's the best running back we've seen since Adrian Peterson. Oh and didn't take over the ball game in 2013 that we lost against them? He dominated the second half and overtime. Again, I hate the mutts and I'm not trying to defend them but Gurley was just dominate. Our D line is below average and that guy would have ran all over us just like most teams did.
Just because you keep saying it doesn't make it fact. To my eyes, we DOMINATED the flow of the game in the second half and UGA got a few lucky breaks that kept them in the game when it should have been a blowout. And yes, we shut Chubb down in the second half. Now, would it have been a different outcome with Gurley playing? Maybe, but you can't say definitively we would have lost. And also if we're playing the "what if" game, what if Snoddy and Smelter hadn't gotten injured? At least they didn't do something that they clearly knew was against the rules, whether you like the rules or not. Gurley got his own dumb @$$ suspended.
he was hurt (acl) for our game, not suspended. torn acl in the 4q of a 34-7 blowout of auburn 2 weeks before.
I had forgotten about that. But I'd say the suspension played into his injury, at least because he wanted to run up stats in a blowout because of the lost games.
