I'm scratching my head.. it feels like we reverted back to Gus calling the plays. Way too many screens.

I know KJ wasn't 100% but I just don't get it. Didn't look like the change we've made in the several past weeks

We did revert.

The play calling was nothing like last week or Georgia game.

I think we ran 6 trick plays in the first quarter. None of which worked.

It was either flats, run up middle, or 60 yard bomb.

I don't think anyone was open.

Or Stidham really needed KJ.

amazing how different things look when those plays are executed well.

My only issue was playing KJ as much as he did with him hurt. I'm sure KJ was jumping up and down to play but he was visibly hurt every time they panned to him.

The difference in this game and last game........

UGA tackled well. Our guys missed tackles all day.

As I have continuously stated....Our lines got owned today.

We tried to run the ball inside and out. With the exception of a few run plays, they held us in check.

When they blitzed, we had guys there but missed the blocks.

This game boiled down to execution. They executed...we didn't.

Honestly it didn’t look that different to me from the first time we played UGA. We just didn’t have the consistent running game. UGA just adjusted and made us have to beat them deep, we couldn’t do it (despite having a few guys beat their man).

We got beat on the LOS and missed tackles. I don’t think playcalling was the issue.

We need a real fricking WR coach. Plain and simple. WRs have run shite routes all season and again tonight.

Play calling was not great but the problem is when we had opportunities we didn't capitalize. After the Stidham fumbled we never got the momentum back. We kept getting in position and then would screw it up.

That blocked FG was a killer and then the fumble on the first play of the 4th quarter and the game was over.

We missed Craig on a wide open TD on the block FG drive. Stidham under threw Ryan Davis on a very good playcall that was set up for big yards on a ball out to the flats in the third.

Despite all our dick ups and Kerryon obviously hurt it was a 6 point game going into the 4th quarter and we had the ball in their territory. That Kerryon fumble broke the will and it got ugly fast.

Couldn't adjust to the inside blitz which a tunnel screen would counter the inside blitz, but apparently we don't have that play in the playbook.

I wish we would have run more when we got in uga territory, but if we did and it didn't work we prob would be blasting Gus for not trying to pass. I do think Stidham has a prob staying in the pocket sometimes, but I'm not there so maybe nothing is open. Weird how it worked on bama' blitzing and not tonight though

That dropped pass by Davis on first down was a killer

I know people are angry but this loss was nothing like Clemson or LSU.

We were beat up after defeating two #1 teams in three weeks. Then we had to turn around and play a one loss, playoff contender Georgia team who had two easy weeks to iron out the kinks.

Our best player was hobbled, and the other guy that would fill in has been injured all year.

Even then, we were close to making this a football game. Stidham had a costly fumble at the five (3 points), a blocked field goal (3 points), and then a KJ fumble when we were driving while down 13-7 (3 or 7 points).

Considering the exhaustion and injuries, I’m okay knowing that we were in it until late.

The play calling was about as good as it could be. Maybe we should have run Kam Martin more, but we don’t know as fans how little he knows pass protection or being a threat to catch it out of the backfield.

We lost any momentum we had when Stidham fumbled and never got it back.
