With HM in the game...
quote:

“We were really spread the whole night,” Bobo said of Georgia’s 59-17 win against Kentucky. “We felt spreading them out was the way to go. We tried to get a one (linebacker) box and make their safeties tackle. When Hutson’s in there, he’s a little bit more of a spread guy and we did a little bit more of what he could do. He did a nice job.”

I don't love that with our RBs moving forward into 2014

Impossible, Bobo can't adjust. At least that's what people on here will tell you.

This surprises me. My perception of Mason is that he is less mobile than Murray. Just checked Rivals. Mason is listed with a 4.89 40 yard dash; Murray is listed at 4.84 so they are about the same.

I know these next two games will give Mason much needed experience in preparation of next year, but do you guys think that out weighs the impact it will have in giving the competition game footage for planning against Mason next season?

We're also gonna have WR's coming out of our arse next year...gonna be the deepest we've ever had and maybe the deepest in the country.

I haven't read all the responses but those who think this will negatively affect Georgia, come on. First, as has been stated, this matches Mason's skill set. UGA has spent enough time trying to ram a round peg in a square hole, I for one applaud Bobo and the staff for knowing what makes Mason tick by now. Second, those who whine about our run game being affected, come on. Georgia lining up with a FB, extra TE, or w/e bunched formation we were using did us no favors to begin with. Murray could make the throws but when it comes to running Georgia never, and I mean never, maintains control of the LOS. Spreading these teams out at least gives our mediocre OL a little less to handle and it gives the backs a helluva lot more options.

If executed right this could be fantastic and I love when Bobo makes me happy. I have been begging for more spread formations for years as well as the pistol and he acquiesced and I almost cried. Now he's setting up Georgia as it is, not how some of our fans may wish it would be.

I am most curious about what our OL splits will be, if any different, and if their fat asses can handle being on their own. Methinks Mason is going heavily rely on quick passes and basically what Murray did 2nd half vs AU will be his modus operandi. I am excited for the changes.
