I'm not being critical of our players because they did about all they were capable of doing. That said, they gave up 27 points and couldn't get off the field or maintain momentum anytime we had it. UGA's scoring drives were 11, 10, 10, 7, and 7 plays. Including 2 70+ yard drives and a 98 yard drive. If you said before the game we were giving up 27 everybody would have said that gave us pretty much 0% chance of winning.

The one thing they did well was create two turnovers.

You were right, banging the drum for years about the talent gap that has only grown. We had very few penalties andI think the players were near their best ---- the issue is the other team was just much more talented.

I was not a fan of the Freeze hire, but I hope, at the least, he works to close that gap some because we were definitely trending the wrong way with Harsin.

I wanted to see our team come out and punch Georgia in the mouth. They did, but the truth is we just weren't talented enough to finish the job.

All I want this season is to see gameplay improve with the talent we have atm and improving that future talent. Playing Georgia was no easy task but I will not panic as long as I see this team keep trying to get to the wins and get better.
