Georgia Bama Takeaways

It was a weird, exciting game. I don’t think either teams have ever played that type of game before.
Bama under Saban never relinquished those kinds of leads (let me finish that’s not an attack on Deboar) but also I’ve never seen a Kirby team play like they did in the 2nd half. Kirby post game said they went into 2nd half with 4 down mentality. I’ve never seen a Kirby type team attack attack attack on offense like they did like that. Usually it’s teams playing against Georgia like that bc they’re down so much. A type of wreckless aggression that was concise and dangerous but also leads to more risks, ie turnovers.
Kirby’s in game management is pretty similar to Saban’s. Break teams down with depth, play conservative and take calculated shots when they’re there. You never see Kirby deviate from that, for good and bad. Last night was different. And it might open up the Georgia offense more for the entire season.
I personally would be worried for everyone else playing Georgia this year (I am not worried for Florida bc this Gator team is hot dog shite lol) and yes, Georgia lost the game, but in their loss it looks like they opened up the offense more than they have in the last 2 years. Bama looks like they will easily be in the playoffs this season

Seen a Saban Alabama team lose a 21-6 lead in a national semifinal. Seen a Saban Alabama team lose a 24-0 lead in an Iron Bowl. Didn't happen often but it did happen.

I agree with this take. A bunch of emotionally unstable and low IQ dawg fans shite talking mike bobo I've been arguing with, with this exact point. We've, I, have never seen a more aggressive UGA offense in my lifetime than what I saw in the second half of this game.

Seen this aggression go the wrong way for Lane Kiffin and actively cost him football games. It worked out for them but they were an unneeded jersey tug here or a better rake across the arm on a quick slant in man coverage there from Alabama getting the ball deep in UGA territory and putting the game away. The situation dictated it though. It was the only way they could get back into that game given the time crunch with how the clock runs now.

If someone told me there was 1 game in Saban's career he threw on purpose, I would bet that game straight off the bat.
I'm not saying that's what happened, I'm just saying the turn of events was so damn crazy, it wouldn't be a huge surprise.

Little bit different. That’s a 2 score lead in the first half in a neutral site playoff game, not a complete domination 28-0 run where you were out gaining then 355 yards to like 80 like last night. Post game sugar bowl Saban even stated he didn’t feel comfy at all with that lead with how the game was going. Ohio state was gashing yall in the run game early and yall had two goal line stands was the only reason it wasn’t a 1 score game. Georgia was completely lost all first half.

I’ll give you this but it was Cam Newton, and Saban’s only team to lose by 2 scores in the regular season post 2007 until last year against Texas.

It may save Bobo’s job if he adapts to this. I think he’s done an exceedingly poor job as y’all’s OC the last 2 years and has benefited with elite playmakers to mask it.

Credit to Bama I haven’t seen us get our shite rocked like that first half since LSU 2019. The fact that we were able to come all the way back after being down 30-7 at halftime against Bama in Tuscaloosa was nothing short of amazing. Sucks that we just couldn’t finish the win but it was a hell of a game

it won't, because we aren't going to be down by 4 touchdowns again at any other point in the season. Desperation makes you do things differently than normal so I expect starting this week we'll be back to the norm.
Now, I DO think we will continue to take more deep shots and throw downfield more, which we did practically zero of the first 3 games. But I think that was by design.

Georgia is going to need to upgrade at the skill positions on offense. And Beck really ain’t that great.
Also, their offensive play calling has been pretty terrible, uncreative, bland for years.

We were up by three touchdowns on two separate occasions and still found ourselves trailing 38-34 with less than two minutes remaining and no timeouts. Plus the game was at home with one of the most electric crowds of the Saban Era.

To be fair there really wasn't a choice.

That game wasn’t even in the same zip code of 1st half arse kicking.

I don't quite necessarily agree with the last part, but definitely do with the top part. And I think they go hadn in hand, if you have the upgraded skill players your play calling doesn't need to be some insane imaginative stuff. Look our title years compared to now:
WR: George Pickens, AD Mitchell, jermaine burton, ladd mconckey, et. al
TE: Bowers
RB: Zamir white, james cook, kenny mcintosh
WR: dom lovett, dillon bell, arian smith
TE: delp and luckie
RB: etienne
Etienne can certainly hold his own with the top group but not a soul else in the bottom group would start over anyone in the top group. I'ts the cool hip thing to hate on bobo but a lot of his "terrible" playcalling is a non issue if we have better talent.
Look at the bama game as a perfect example. Their #2-whateer receivers aren't really better than our guys. Their TE (albeit he idd have a great game from my memory) isn't demonstrably better than our guys. I'd take etienne over jam/haynes. BUT....they have an elite alpha at WR that we sipmly do not and it was the difference in the game.
Guys like AJ Green, Pickens, and R.Williams can turn a game even if other aspects aren't there and we just don't have that. In fact we've rarely ever had it in our history whihc is head scratching. But I think my ultimate point is that playcalling itself isn' really that big an issue compared to our talent level. And people will roll their eyes and say "UGA always has a top 5 class how can you complian about recruiting?" but it's all in the above. The 5* studs we routinely get are typically on defense or QB. We rarely get them at WR or hell even RB.

Made me personally think about the Blackout game in 2008. It never got that hairy in the end but Stafford came out swinging in the 3rd quarter after being down 31-0 at the half.

and funny enough, both games featured us throwing a beautiful long arse bomb on our first possession that was dropped.

after prince miller's punt return to start the 4th quarter it was a 14 point game. A lot of people forget after the curb stomping in the first half that it was very much a ballgame with 14 minutes left to play. of course we wouldn't do anything else the rest of the way though so that was about the end of it.
But yeah I agree it was hard not to think about 2008 at various points on saturday.

So UGA went full Kiffin and almost pulled it off? :)
5 for 5 on 4th down is insane. Great game Dawgs!
