Tua would have been knocked out in the first half

I gave you one upvote, and one downvote.

But i agree. In this offense Mac is better. I think Tua is more natural and has more talent, but Mac is a lot smarter and prepares himself 10 times better.

Guys, I need to apologize for what I said when we were losing.

I might've said we need to fire Saban, things got weird for a bit and I blacked out.

Let's be honest. This game was over when Reichard nailed a 52 yarder.

There's just certain signs and portents you don't ignore.

A greater power was on our side after that.

No big. You are here and manned up. Big win

I wonder what happened at halftime. The defense got a second half shutout. That’s huge

Didn't we hold them under 100yds in the 2nd half also?

Something major happened at half time. Defense had glimpses of old. Who made the adjustments and calls. They needed that, maybe they get their juice back now.

Georgia played a bad first half against Arkansas and Tennessee. This is their 3rd bad half. Only game they didn't have a bad half was against Auburn

Two things. Somebody, and I think it was Saban, got in the locker room and calmed the defense down, simplified some things and challenged them. They played much more within themselves the second half and it showed. Still a lot of work to do, but that was a good start.

Secondly, and more importantly I think, they made Bennett uncomfortable in the pocket, made him move around more with the batted balls and some pressure and he made mistakes. If we don’t get him thinking, he would have stood back there and continued to carve the defense up. But we got just enough heat on him to put him on the move where he’s not as good at making plays. That was a good adjustment and was key. I kept thinking that if we ever hit him hard a couple of times it would rattle him.

He plays well in their offense. The difference is we got pressure at good times and that was enough to get him throwing some off target shots. Most QB’s, Trevor Lawrence included can throw whatever they want when playing inferior opponents. As everyone saw last year, when Lawrence was pressured he caved.
