Hard to run when you don't have the ball because the defense never gets off the field. Forced zero punts in the second half and was gashed for 455 yards with 206 on the ground.

Offense only got the ball for 3 possessions in the second half. Which made that non PI call back breaking


Oh, so you are saying that Georgia sustained long drives by running the ball and kept our offense off the field? Thanks for proving my point.

Neither MacIntyre or Faizon should go 18/22. So bishop isn’t that much of an issue if we can focus on the run game

Giving up 20 should have won that game.

More concerning is 3 points in the 2nd half

The defense did everything they needed to do to win. BAMA had the ball 1st and 10 in FG range before the intentional DPI that wasn't.

Saban held uga to less than 20 points ONCE and he still had Kirby as DC then.

You people are fricking retarded beyond belief.

If they stick with MacIntyre, they are screwed. If Faison comes back, he gives them a chance with his athleticism, but not a great one. This mid-season stretch that everyone thought was murderers row has dissolved into games we should be favored in and win if we play like we can.

#5 is a really, really weak link.

We did not run it with nearly their efficiency. Aside from the one that went like 60 yards and a couple scrambles on pass plays, we didn’t run it very well at all. Also Stockton made plays on third down with his arm to keep those drives going, often on third and long.

Hubbard is right there with him. He missed a ton of run fits tonight without mentioning getting cooked on their opening scoring drive. I think he is a good player but he has a half dozen plays every game where he just shits the bed. That will cost you at this level.

Lee shouldn’t be on the field unless somebody is hurt. He just can’t play the ball in the air. Hopefully Edmonds is a dude

Hubbard plays hard but he’s the kind of player you would see starting at Kentucky or Ole Miss pre NIL.

Stockton made some throws in the tiniest of windows.

He did because we were only rushing 3 on those plays.

We held the best offense in the SEC to 20 points. Didn't get any bounces. It happens. Bama is going to be OK. Just focus on UT next Saturday.

Well.. they missed an easy field goal one one drive an they also controlled the clock and burned us on 3rd and long several times. Kane rushed 3 on that last drive and gave GS time to thread the needle for a first down on 3 and 8.

The INT he made was a great play. Did BAMA get points from that?? I honestly don't remember.

No we didn't because the reds decided ripping off an opponents helmet by grabbing their facemask is not an offence of any kind

That's right. We didn't. Defense gives the offense a gift. And the bed is awash in sea a shite.

They got the ball right at Georgia’s red zone from Bray’s pick and didn’t run the damn ball. Some dumbass typical Grubb play calling where he reverts back to thinking we are playing a PAC12 defense.

It’s baffling he won’t stay with the run when it’s being effective. I swear he just wants to show everyone how smart he is. If he could correct this flaw he’d be a masterful play caller.

This is the right answer. My biggest concern or complaint is the LB fit on running plays. This should be an easy fix. It could simply be changing their alignment or depth at the snap. We blocked ourselves too many times. Lee is Lee.

Yes defense can be fixed by this simple plan laid out clearly in a step by step process. Step 1: Remove Dijon Lee from the roster.

-O’Neal for #5
-I think we have a safety with a leg injury as well because he’s been slow to the ball all season so I’d like to see Taylor start.
-we need Hill and Dez back asap so we can shift Thompkins inside with Green dinged and spell Pierre because the DL collapsed when we lost Green
