re: DL push

Correct, not a spot foul in college.

Yep, I had that wrong.

Regardless, it's so silly reading about how it didn't matter because UGA's backup RBs ran for 200 or whatever but completely ignore that if we get the proper flag call, it's Bama with a fresh set of downs around the UGA 20 with 3 and change on the clock.

Also, anyone that brings up the "well you shouldn't have gotten sacked the next play" can eat a big bag of dicks too.

- Zulu and J Hill both being out is forcing Pierre and Thompkins to play every down

- Obviously this is hurting their pass rush, but people don’t take into account how much it affects the run game as well.
They take 1 or both of them out for a snap or two, and the ball breaks into the 3rd level.

- I was high on K Henry, and he does have a solid burst/“ball get off” rushing the passer, but he was straight up the field and got got kicked out once on Power and once on Counter for explosive runs

- This was a major concern going into the MSU game, but they did a good job of not allowing them to stay on the field and wear #1 and #0 out of

- In the first half when T Green was still in the game and #1 and #0 had had in the tank, Georgia only had 49 yards rushing

- Really hoping to get Hill and Green back soon

- That’s why the 3rd and 17 and 3rd and 22 that #5 gave up were absolutely killers bc not only did it lead to all 10 points in the 2nd half, but it also allowed Georgia to extend the drives and take 5-6 more minutes off the clock as well.

Reallllly need J Hill and T Green back and #5 to be replace with C McDonald imo

The holding on that play, Jesus Christ.

didn't produce enough of a running game to take any pressure off him.

Did we not?

This was our first possession of the 2nd half:





And our second:



On our 3rd and final possession of the 2nd half, we only ran the ball once. No gain on 1st down.

So on our first possesion of the 2nd half, we run the ball the first 2 plays, and Brown get 14 yards on those two plays.

We didn't run the ball again that possession besides a dumb jet sweep to Rico Scott for 2 yards, not including Russell's scrambles.

on the second possession we ran the ball 4 times, and well enough to get the offense in 3rd and short or at least 3rd and manageable.

I think that we ran the ball well enough to help Russell.

At the end of the day, the defense giving up long, time consuming drives due to 3rd down conversions made it to where they really had to take advantage of every opportunity on offense because of so few possessions. And they didn't.

Without putting another man in the box or getting Green and Hill back we aren’t stoning their run game.

We had the #3 adj rush defense in the country in YPC but without half the guys that achieved that we don’t anymore.

Our DL without them is functional, it’s not elite and Pierre is clearly not 100% either.

Reality is we need the offense to be elite if we’re gonna beat UGA and we weren’t anywhere close to it Saturday but I’m in storm recovery down here so I don’t have the time to deep dive on it.

The issue is we have some losable games on the schedule before we anticipate getting those guys back and the injuries are piling up.

They also did not read their fits. QB actually had a pretty poor game in the little time he saw.
