Even Georgia's radio broadcast commented many times - I don't understand why Arkansas stayed in a rush three, drop eight concept. They had five men in the box the entire time that first quarter.
When to put in a sixth, slowed GA down in the second quarter. Went right back to rush three, drop eight after halftime. And wore out in the fourth quarter, when GA piled on the last points.
Pittman likely realized that UGA was going to take whatever the defense gave them. So if they stack the box, then UGA lights it up in the air and the score just keeps going higher and higher, and the game drags out longer and longer. Rushing 3 was Pittman's way of telling Kirby "let's just run this thing out".
There's no other logical explanation for why they stayed in that formation.

But when they stopped, late in the first quarter, their defense held. And they only put one extra guy in the box. Just one. They were still dropping five straight away, with two more reading.
I keep hearing this notion that Arky was screwed either way - but it was the backup in there at QB, and GA is still short at WR. And damn - you can't live against ANY team when all they have to do is hand off for five. Everything just gets easier for the offense that way.
I think it was a coaching failure. And one Stoops will repeat - because he only knows how to run the defense one way. GA will put points up in similar fashion against Kentucky. To beat this team - somebody is going to have to roll the dice.
