I’m sorry but have no place in this discussion slick, you have never even been part of a game plan much less know what goes into one.

This seems odd since Bennett threw for 4,000+ yards and a 68.3% completion rate. Those stats would be off the charts in UT fans head for Milton, yet sub par for a Georgia QB. You can't make this up.


Bennett was a 250 yards a game that played for the only team that he could be successful with. 270ish yards a game 3 to 1 TD to Int isn’t very impressive in todays game. 20 years ago would have been but by comparison, Hooker was just a few yards under 300 yards a came (expectations would be over 300 yards if he plays more than 10.5 games) 13.5 TDs to INTs with a better completion rate. And Hooker has the size and arm to play at the next level. Milton more so.

Hooker will make a nice scout team qb in the NFL. He will journey around for 3-4 years before calling it quits.

Ok, let’s pretend that’s what happens. Without Heupel he doesn’t even get the chance. If he stays at VaTech he is an undrafted guy that likely doesn’t get a camp invite.

Milton's two starts in '22:

147 yds vs Vandy
251 yds vs Clemson

Avg yards per game - 199 yards per game

Not very good by your chosen metric used to bash Stetson.

Season starter vs a single actual game. And in his only real start his 2 top WRs were out.

When you consider he was a 175 yards per first half Qb, what does this tell you about his usage in second halves?

You mean opted out so they won't be there this year either.

He played with the guys he's running with this year. Coincidentally, they are also the guys he'd been practicing with all year with the 2nd team, so familiarity wasn't an issue.

Says the guy who thinks the defensive front 7 is responsible for the explosive Offense.

A stout defensive front 7 can force an O into taking chances it otherwise wouldn’t. When they can do that you end up with shorter drives and a shorter field (via turnovers, failed 4th downs, stalled drives) that can force a defense to take more chances to compensate for a stagnant O. That leads to open receivers, or blown assignments at different levels. This can make a bad O look better that it really is. Add in a Tim Tebow type talent (but at TE) and you have a very pedestrian O that makes a handful of plays and can skew stats to make them look better than they really are. 250ish a game 3 to 1 td to Int with just a single offensive talent can convince the gullible or the homers that Todd Monken is a decent OC and UGA was a juggernaut .

So yes a a deep front 7 can make a meh O look good on paper.

But that’s not something you can glean from video games so I doubt you can follow it.

This makes no sense. A bad D is what forces an O into taking chances.

Its astounding how clueless you are in regards to statistical analysis.

You run from this point every time it is made.

It’s difficult from what little I saw from our spring game to take much out of it without studying film from it. It wasn’t a game as much as it was situational football trying to work on third down situations and different depths in each situation.

But the coaches have enough to look at to determine depth charts and such which is good I reckon.

Ours wasn’t a rah rah game by any means, but a chance for coaches to evaluate.

I have no problem with that.

But we have improved at the backup qb position it appears which hurt us badly last year.

Dude, I can’t tell if you are trolling or serious. You have some incredibly bad takes. You champion Milton’s completion percentage on one meaningless game, yet knock Bennett for a higher completion percentage over the course of an entire season.

FYI, Bowers accounted for 22% of Georgia’s receiving yards last year. Hardly the entire offense.

The mental gymnastics required to attribute Georgia’s explosive offense to their defense is quite impressive.

Imagine if the defense sucked. Bennett would have thrown for 8500 yards apparently.

Actually I went game by game a debunked the myth that UGA doesn’t throw in the second half, demonstrating throws up to the last or next to last series in all but 1 or 2 games. The research is readily available and the data is free to find. Hell even you should be able to follow transcripts of plays.

1st quarter- 133 attempts
2nd quarter- 175 attempts
3rd quarter- 99 attempts
4th quarter- 47 attempts

LSU and Ohio State had a lot to do with 4th quarter attempts.

UGA was #2 in the nation in adjusted yards per play.

UGA was #1 in the nation in O points per LONG drive.

Pointing towards one pass attempt is horribly weak and didnt debunk the point being made.

Here are when Bennet's last pass attempts happened in 6 of the games:

SC: 7:43 3rd, and then left game
Samford: 6:15 3rd, and then left game
Oregon: 5:20 3rd, and then left the game
Vandy: 2:31 3rd, and then left game
UK: 1:31 3rd, and then 14 straight runs
LSU: 1:01 3rd, and then 16 straight runs

I’m extremely thankful that my favorite team doesn’t have to wear that, god awful, orange. Also pretty stoked that, for the first time in a long time, Vol fans will go into the season with lots of hope. It’s always fun ruining that for them. Once a decade is enough. RTR!

Mizzou cancelled its Spring Game because it was slightly chilly out that day. So no, I'm not feeling great about things.
