“Bennett’s best passing results from an established running game. Georgia had success in the first few games going the opposite direction because it was a newer approach and, in my opinion, probably caught defenses somewhat off guard.
When Kent State and Mizzou schemed for that, the attack had far less success. When Bennett struggled Saturday in the 1st half Georgia established a much more potent running game on the legs of Daijun Edwards, Kenny McIntosh and Branson Robinson.
And after that the passing game flourished.”

Branson should be our feature back to open up the pass game. Sprinkle in McIntosh and Edwards

I think we are seeing Bobos run concepts become more prevalent and for any weakenss as an oc, our run game was bad arse under him.

Just moving stet back under center is beautiful and gets rid of 4 yard losses on run olays.

We probably need to do that against TN anyway. To give Hooker off the field.

Also, great to see our RBs just looked dominant in the second half.

I disagree with the article with the definition to what fans call a passing game.

Our swings, sweeps, and screens are part of the run game. And we leaned on them against Oregon and South Carolina.

Everyone sees the passing/receiving stats and says that we are a pass first offense, now. That was a wrong interpretation of the offense.

Monken has been trying to find different ways to attack defenses because we won't be successful attacking the edges like that against great linebackers (i.e. alabama).

We haven't had consistent success searching for a more balanced pass/run ratio (not relying on the screens/sweeps/swings). Some of that is on the OL (i.e. giving up the edge against Mizzou because of snapcount). Some of that is on Stet. He has never been an elite accurate QB. His success in 2021 was throwing to a spot and having receivers win the ball at that spot (Pickens, Bowers, AD, McConkey). Some of our lack of success is on the receivers (no Pickens or AD. McConkey and Brock have been slightly off with Stet)

The hope is that the OL continues to improve each week (homefield advantage helps a ton. But we won't get that @Miss St). The hope is that receivers continue to develop and emerge (Blaylock, Bell, even Daijun) and receivers come back to full health (AD, Ladd, Brock, and Arian).

UGA will arse rape Tennessee in the trenches. I will be surprised if we don’t rush for AT LEAST 250 on that shitty defense.

One of the main advantages any offense has over a defense is the guessing game of run or pass.
As such, the best offenses in this regard are balanced with roughly 50/50 run/pass to keep the defense guessing.

In the first quarter of a game, the defenses are fresh and will load the box to stuff the running game.
This when you want to stretch the defense laterally to open up the running game up the middle and off-tackle.
We can do this easily by rolling the swift Bennett out to right with an option to run or pass.
Do this enough and the outside LB's will start playing wider to compensate and the safety's will come up to stop these outside plays.
This will open up the middle of the field for both dive plays and passes to TE's.
We will need a healthy Bennett with an accurate passing attack vs UT and Bama in the SECCG.

Hopefully we’re gonna see more of 30 & 22 on said dive plays.
