It says we were the better team.
UGA was the better team. UGA made more mistakes than OSU did. UGA's kicker missed 2 FG's compared to one miss for OSU. UGA had one more turnover. UGA was penalized for more yards.
And UGA still won despite making more mistakes. That's the sign that UGA was the better team. Despite making more mistakes, they still won.
OSU needed a near perfect game to win even with UGA's mistakes. They ALMOST pulled it off, but missed the last FG. That doesn't mean they were the better team. It confirms that UGA playing to an equal level was far superior because they won despite having more mistakes.

Kirby stuck with a defense first philosophy and wear the opponent down. Saban had move from that to a pass first offense and strike fast offense and giving up a bit on defense
I realize reading comprehension is tough for Dawg fans but I specifically stated Bama 2008-2017 is what Kirby modeled UGA after. It was in 2018 that Bama shifted dramatically away from a shut down defense and began running a high octane, pass oriented offense. Hard not to do when you have Tua under center but I never felt as confident that Bama could close out a tight game as when they had a suffocating defense.

Kirby has modified what Saban did in the early bama years in a significant way.
In 2017, the original quote was pretty accurate. UGA was a run first offense.
In 2021, UGA had changed into an offense that opened games with passing first. They wouldn't go into a run first approach until they got a comfortable lead. They wouldn't sit on a 10 point lead, but they would go run heavy if they got to 3 scores up.
That change was significant. Before that point if you got a lead on UGA, they weren't always the best at getting their offense going to catch up. They relied on the run opening the pass and if that got stopped, you stopped the offense.
In 2021 and 2022, UGA could go head to head with other offenses throwing the ball if the defense was struggling. You saw that with OSU last season (398 yards passing) and even the loss to Bama in 2021 (340 yards passing). The reason is their "base" offense was passing based and explosive. They only went to the running based attack when they had the game in hand (which was almost every game in 2021 and 2022).
That's a long post, but it's needed to show a common misunderstanding about UGA's team. They aren't a "slow the game down and run the ball" team. they're a "play up tempo and get a big lead... THEN slow the game down and run the ball" team. The ability to do both is what confuses fans who don't watch them.

I'm fine with that. In that case the better team wins the game. Who won?
Oh, and saying "our kicker made a mistake" is really stupid when the other team's kickers made the same mistake twice. Either mistakes matter or they don't.
UGA made a lot of mistakes and still won the game. So it really doesn't matter how you want to look at it. In every way, UGA was better and you can't blame more penalties, mor turnovers or even more missed field goals in order to say you were better. You had the edge in all those categories and still lost.

The guy is just trolling man. No need to give yourself carpal tunnel typing up long responses.

Bro, it was a game between 2 evenly-matched teams that came down to a missed FG. Your team got the breaks. Congrats.

You dipshits crack me up. Let me explain some things to you...
Half my family is from Alabama, and the other half from Texas. My parents met while attending grad school at Ohio State. I was born and raised in Ohio. I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2001, and have lived in the South since. I'm probably more Southern than some of you assholes.

You been asleep? We've been right there contending every year since 2017. Ohio State? Not so much. And Saban was still coaching. But yes. It will be much easier now that Saban is gone.

We beat them all over the place for two decades. Connor Stalions isn't walking through the door.
quote:What is your definition of better? We had more:
Sure.
We were better all night, and a college kid made a mistake. It happens.
1. rushing yards (by 50 yards)
2. More passing yards (by 16 yards)
3. Better kickoff return avg
4. Better punt return avg
5. Better punting avg
6. Better yards per pass attempt avg
7. Better avg yards per rush
8. More points in the game
Exactly how were you better all night?

Ohio State outplayed Georgia. We had penalties that killed drives, lost the best player on the field, and missed the field goal that mattered.
Oh, and don't forget where the fricking game was played...
It's OK to admit you were lucky to win that game.

That must be why y'all spend so much time whining about how Bama and Ohio State get the benefit of the doubt.

See above.
Despite everything, we had double digits leads more than once, and easily win that game without the cheap shot on Marv.

This whole thread is funny coming from a fan of a team that has not been relevant in a decade, and has been dominated by their rival.
OSU has become so desperate that they are implementing the Aggie approach this year to try to desperately crawl back into the playoff picture. Pay a bunch of headhunters to come in, and expect them to blend together as a team and compete... That approach will be exposed in the second half of the Michigan game once again this year. OSU will once again be on the outside looking in
Ryan Day does not have the ability to develop talent, that is why Ohio State shops the portal so aggressively... That 13 million spent on this year's class would have been better spent on bringing in a quality staff, that can actually improve their existing roster
