Switch Flipped

So who are we firing and benching this week and who are we no longer firing and benching this week?

I want to learn.

It's a good chicken or egg question. Did Bobo call a better game or did the offense and Carson execute better?

The oline not being swiss cheese helped them both for sure.

No turnovers either. At least we know what we are capable of now.

All of what you said

We still need to fire a motherfricker. I don’t know who, just know that someone needs to go.

Switches don't flip in college football. It may look that way to us casual observers, but with teams of 85 players and large organizations behind them, positive change is gradual. Fans are good at noticing a change when it becomes obvious but, as message boards repeatedly prove, practically none have a good understanding of why changes happen, or why teams look good one week and bad the next.

We don't know about the nagging injuries, or the guys playing with a fever of 103. We don't notice every time an inexperienced receiver runs the wrong route, or stadium noise causes confusion at the LOS. We don't account for the grind of playing a tough schedule, or the fact that the other team has been letting their starters rest and heal up against a cupcake schedule. We never account for the fact that attrition at a position leads to fatigue among the guys who are still available. We seldom acknowledge that talented but inexperienced players usually need time before they make a positive contribution.

Tennessee fans were cocky, and I'm guessing their players were pretty cocky too. Some who claim to be Georgia fans were cocky too; they insisted we'd lose because Tennessee was a better team with a better defense and a better offense. They apparently didn't realize that Tennessee's opponents paled in comparison to the schedule Georgia has played. They looked at a stat sheet and didn't realize that Georgia's quarterback is currently much better than theirs, and is capable of carrying a team to victory if he gets enough help from his teammates. Now they know, but they still don't understand why.

Running is a tool Beck should feel free to utilize more. It really did loan him up last game.

This team never had game breakers on offense. Success was always going to depend on Beck being elite.

Q2-Q4 was his best stretch of play this season, and we see what the offense can look like when he meets the standard he set last season.

I hope this injects some confidence in him and in the offense. If it does, werenin amazing shape
