Nothing really glaring, can see where we tried to execute certain play designs and how Durkin schemed pretty well against us. Might see more pressure on first down against Georgia if Kirby reads this the same way.
Cuevas is very much missed

Cuevas definitely missed in the passing game. He's not a very good run blocker, though, so that might have actually helped in that area. But I'd much rather have him. Pritchett looked like a baby deer out there running around. I think he will be solid in time, but was out of place on Saturday night.

UGA doesn't have the pass rush that AU has this year. If the OL can give Ty a little time, we should be fine.

Not sure why we don’t use an extra OL at this point if TEs can’t block. Grubb gonna line up with 7 OL and the WRs on the edges.
lol, we basically put Jam in front of a gap and the dude still missed the block. Free runner at Ty with a second of the snap. GARBAGE run blocking

I don’t think we have to worry about Jam missing blocks anymore. Now it will be Hill or Deer.

There is a book on us due to what’s going on at QB that we’re going to have to figure out a way to defeat or the remaining season is going to be pretty short.
They’re sitting on the middle stuff, daring us to throw deep and hoping we throw short or get baited into throwing a pick on a crosser.
So far the cover 2-3 deep stuff has opened up our run game a bit but not enough to win with consistently.
Cuevas was an assassin at sitting in holes in the zone and as a dump off option for YAC on blitzes and we haven’t replaced him yet with anything close to his level of production out of the TF or with other combos because the WR is banged up as well.
Cupboard is a little bare at the moment.

My theory:
Right around the LSU game, teams started showing a fake defensive scheme knowing Ty changes the play almost every down. Team shows X, Ty does his thing, team runs defense they didn’t show. Bait and switch.

I think playing with tempo on occasion would do wonders for us. We are fantastic in end of half situations in which we do it, eliminates a lot of Ty's overthinking, we seem to get in a rhythm, defenses get sped up.
Not the whole game, but strategically placed for sure.

Dear is going to play for sure. Ball security needs to be worked on that dude all week. Hell, go run GTAs around campus trying to knock the ball loose. SECCG is a big game to have your first meaningful contribution.
Hill can't play the vast majority of the game because he seems to get gassed pretty quickly. There is always a noticeable difference between Hill early in a series and later in it. He's tough but just doesn't seem to be ready for a 15ish touches sorta game.

Tape seems to confirm that Auburn was doing a lot of late movement in and out of split safety looks. Best way to cure this is to run teams into basic defenses but we don't have any of that medicine in our cupboard.

I wonder if we are changing the play at the LOS so much and so late that all 11 guys aren't even on the same page with the play call or at least having to process so much so late we aren't running the plays at 100% speed.

The things I'm seeing:
14 (Pritchett) and 81 (Edwards) need to be worked hard this week by the coaches. UGA is going to target them in pass protection.
56 (VanDeMark) probably needs to be ready to play for Brailsford. He was laboring out there and I just can't see him holding up against a 34 defense nose tackle for 60 minutes. The fact he's playing in a cast on the foot tells me he's not going to magically be healed up this Saturday. I'm a bit worried because 56 is a good pull block IOL but he can be physically overwhelmed at times.
0 (Dear) is probably going to need to be a big part of the offense. Gotta hope they're getting him ready to play the game of his life thus far.
We've got to break tendencies in all ways. I think we need to package more man and zone beaters into the pass concepts. We need to be able to get 3-4 yard runs on first down so we can keep enough run/pass balance that our OC can hunt for big plays on drive starts again. I'd recommend feinting audibles where it is an auto-lock on the initial play call a few times. Maybe discourage UGA from changing defenses up on us late.

I mean I agree but it’s also a capability thing.
They were building their entire schemes around how not to get embarrassed by RW over the top.
Now RW is a non-factor, we don’t even attempt deep passes anymore due to “reasons” and the OL everyone was afraid of couldn’t run block.
So they’ve decided to make us dink and dunk and it’s working so well we were under 5YPA against AU.
Sub 5YPA is death against elite teams so either we need to figure out a counter with something we can do or everything from here out is going to be like pulling teeth and require winning the turnover margin and hitting FGs in games that are in the 14-28pt range which is pretty dicey against elite competition.

A few guys chatting on a message board can come up with ways to help our offense and a dozen anyalist (if we still have that many) and million dollar coaches keep trotting out the same offense.
Are these guys keeping the lights on at Mal Moore facility every week or hanging out at Chuck's?

Grubb literally stated clearly after Oklahoma our QB needs to actually help our running game by completing deep balls to release pressure.
Have some of us have been saying this weeks? Yeah, but the coaching staff already knows this.
Hence why he keeps drawing up deep pass plays (which morons on here complain about). However what can KDB or Grubb do if their QB is struggle to read who to throw to on time and is struggling to accurately throw it deep?
The last decent deep ball which was thrown was to Ryan Williams and he dropped it. Before that can you even remember a fade or clearout route with an accurate throw? It happens so rarely.
We're in a situation that other teams know our weakness. We can accurately throw deep, so their safeties creep up, they leave deep runners in one-on-one daring us to beat them over the top and they keep all of our plays in front to make every drive slow and long.
The coaches know all of this.

Brooks Austin's tape shows a handful of situations where Williams was probably the best option but pass rush blew it up or Ty probably didn't go where he needed to with it.
That's just a handful of plays cut up for an audience though. I don't know if we are all reading too much into body language or the tape vindicates him a bit.
We ran something kinda like a slot fade to Horton in the OU game near the redzone. We had a TE split wide but motioned in to be attached to the line. Horton was aligned as a slot initially so spacing wise it was more like a slot fade but technically he was the split end.

Yeah, if you read between the lines in what KDB said about RW not getting any targets, it sounded like KDB was saying, he should have had targets, but Ty made the wrong read.

What are they doing about it?
Stop letting the play clock hit 01 would be a start. A little hurry up, if Ty throws a pick let the freshman play for a series, stop with the damn trick plays.
