I think we have a decent chance at beating UGA IMO

Saw a lot of good things today. Plenty of bad shite, but if we protect the ball better next weekend we absolutely have a chance.

UGA is demoralized as frick. Or at least I would be

Yeah, we have a shot at UGA I agree. But we have to get some of these WRs back from injury.

I agree, definitely a winnable game. Wonder if they go back to Orth next week. I know he played a lot against a 3-4 man rush and had time to throw but you can tell McIlwain is just limited in the passing game ATM.

Also, need the WR's back desperately.

They'll come back angry. Luckily we are playing at home. They are definitely beatable but after seeing this offensive performance, I have no confidence in our offense whatsoever. The only bright spot I saw was Dowdle. That kid can ball. He will be a stud for us in the games and seasons to come.

I thought they'd come out angry after getting beat by 40, but hey.

I'm super hyped for more Rico. Kid is an absolute stud and showed even more athleticism than I'd hoped he would.

Happy to keep feeding Turner a majority of the carries, but bringing in Dowdle for every third carry or so should add some nice needed production on the O.

Also, it really hit me today how young this team actually is.

I'm right there with you guys. After what I saw today I'm not going into a single game for the rest of the year guaranteeing a loss.

What's your pass rush like?

That's not a good sign for USC.

I wouldn't even say it's very mediocre. We definitely pressure the QB. It's the quick throws that hurt us.

We love playing 5-10 yards off the receiver for some reason.

UGA should win this game. But we always have some crazy games.

Good to hear. How's your freshmen qb doing?

He's struggling a bit. I don't know how everyone feels but I think he should get to keep his job. This season is meant for taking lumps.

Although, by next Saturday we may be using the same spread formations, 4 and 5 wide with every tight end/RB on the roster if one more injury at WR happens.

Well, our pass D is hot garbage and we struggle against dual threat qbs. Should make for a great game.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see some drives from both QBs. Situation type substitutions.

Or pass rush is only lacking when we don't dial up pressure and that only happens when are playing dual threat QBs which eason is not.

That just makes it tougher to stop.

He's not mobile but he'll hit the hot route if you bring pressure. I think our TE had 100 yards receiving tonight because of if.

As far as qb is concerned, mcilwain the Frosh is in over his head. Here's asked to make a lot of reads and his decision making is lacking. Even when running it's lacking so the one aspect of the game he is supposed to outperform our former walk on. I'm thinking we see both next week and wouldn't be shocked if we see Bentley the week after the bye.

Well our pressure is typically just with the 4 down lineman, we don't blitz alot. The rush aspect just comes from going from contain to a true rush. We got in knights face a couple of times tonight.
