I thought Beck and the defense really showed up in the second half.

We lose a bunch of outstanding players every year to the NFL now. We also bring back a bunch, but it shouldn't be surprising if it takes a while to look like world beaters.

We improved a bunch today and will continue to improve.

3-0. Just keep winning, imo.

Improvement comes with reps. These new guys are getting the reps.

So this may be your problem. It's not Georgia's problem - it's your problem.

Who gives a frick if we 'cover' except idiots who bet money on kids?

It's not about winning bets, it's about winning games.

One aspect that needs to improve obviously is the FG kicker. This game would feel at least a little bit different if Woodring hits one chip shot and another that was about about 40 I believe...first kick missed wide left, second miss wide right. Pretty brutal.

We've been spoiled with at least decent to solid kickers at very worst way before we've been spoiled with national titles. Hopefully we don't have an awful kicking situation on our hands.....though it could be fun to go for it on 4th and 7 in the redzone more if we need to haha.

The most important thing that happened this game is we made adjustments on both sides of the ball at half time and executed. Not sure how high Beck’s ceiling is, but he had a solid game. Missed a few open guys, but looked comfortable enough. Coming back from 2 scores is good for him and the whole offense.

Beck and this team did face adversity and responded. I’ll 100% give ‘em that.

Don't know how bad the field was when he missed those kicks. If his plant foot slipped that could be the reason.

We're doing okay considering our early season injuries.

I don’t know if it was intentional or just Beck being conservative, but we need to be more willing to look down the field early in the game.

I agree about looking down field. We really do focus on guys with top end speed, fringe track guys that we develop, but then I feel we never tap into said track speed.

I love throwing deep the first drive of the game to see if the dbs have their feet under them right away.

Bobo “ran up the middle” 3 times in the second half in the red zone for scores, so that was pretty good.

Hopefully, the second half will give Beck some confidence and the offense will gel.

I saw an Offensive Line maul a Defensive Line, and I also saw UGA have a 100 yard rusher.

Carson Beck put a stat line that was very impressive in a torrential downpour...



...yet I still saw new money fans screaming for BVG to replace him.

Finally, I saw a QB, who many tout as a legitimate Heisman candidate, fail to drive the field on all but two drives (with the first TD being aided by a blatant holding no-call on a lineman).

A torrential downpour. No turnovers.

The only concern I have, currently, is at place kicker.
