More talented teams lose to less talented teams all the time. If you don't come to play, you can get beat. It's fricking sports, man. shite happens. UGA needs to play better.

That and talent is generally not distributed evenly across most teams and our team is obviously lacking in the trenches where it counts most. A house is only as strong as its foundation.

The Vandy game is a good example. Three times their defense stonewalled our offense in the redzone and we had to settle for FG's. Meanwhile one big play/screen pass by Vandy's offense and they were down on our 5 yard line and we could not stop them from scoring the TD that became the difference in the game. There was no finesse involved. They simply lined up with a big back who proceeded to ploy through our defense. Then on our last potential game winning drive, once again their defense did not allow us to get a first down on 4th and 1. You can question the call to pitch out to McKenzie all you want but they had been owning our OL all day in those situations and I suppose Chaney hoped that McKenzie's speed would get us 1 yard on the outside. But without blocking the play was destined to fail.
