re: Embarassing display

I agree. Some things to be really encouraged by... Defense definitely played better. Secondary was much better than Purdue game at least. Remove the turnovers and they played a very even game with Georgia who is a great team. Purdue also killed BC today. BC isn't great but they were ranked.

The turnovers and "sloppy" play killed us. That is pretty frustrating. Pinkel ran a very fundamentally solid team and right now we just aren't.

I assume Hall is just bothered by the injury? Announcers were guessing that was the issue. I didn't see how many snaps he was taking... was he playing the whole game b/c they didn't seem to be even targeting him?

According to Odom Brown was also not 100%.

I mean, you're just going to have to acknowledge that we played the number 2 team in the country. They played kind of sloppy to you know.

Happy? Moral victory? frick no. I just don't have my hair on fire about losing to a team that is significantly better than us.

And let's not act like Georgia didn't force a lot of those mistakes. They stole the ball from AO. They knocked the ball out of Lock's hands. In other words, they all weren't completely unforced. The blocked punt, the pick? Yeah those are on us. Georgia is really freaking good. Good teams force you into errors. That's how they win.

It sucks we lost, but I'm not upset about the way we played. We were beat. The result is pretty accurate. They are probably 10-15 points better than us.

It's really difficult to get a bunch of college kids to play a perfect game. Rarely happens.

Well...maybe. No guarantee we score on that drive. No guarantee Georgia doesn't score after getting the punt.

I'm pretty sure that coaches are preaching to Albert to hold the ball. That's on him.

His forward progress was stopped anyway lol

Agree on the punt. They should have seen that and didn't. Or maybe they did and didn't want to burn the TO. Either way that was a bad coaching mistake.

You may be surprised but agree with you on this game. I was encouraged on how much they fought back and never gave up. Yeah plenty of mistakes but hopefully correctable. We played the number 2 team in the nation and made it a game. I figured before the season started we would get blown out by Georgia and Bama. That didn't happen, sure we didn't win, but I see improvement with this team. It now needs to be consistent improvement. We can beat Scar and Kentucky, two teams I expected to be a toss up. 9 wins this year is not unreasonable.

They had fight. Stayed in it. I like that.

Still poor fundamentals. Arm tackling, blown coverages, and it seems the worst place to hit our receivers is in the hands. Special teams an afterthought.

Hall in the game at all was an indefensible decision. Lock needed speed on both sides of the field.

No guts. You're a home dog with nothing to lose, with the ball and 60 seconds on the clock before the half. You take a delay of game and walk off? Not one deep shot in the whole sequence.

Where's the goal line cameras? Too much money for an 11am game?

there were definite positives. some of the game planning was obviously good, leading up to the game. I'm unwilling to blame every drop, fumble, etc. on Odom. team did well in the trenches. we didn't get embarrassed in front of the recruits. in fact, they saw that we could play with Georgia, except for all the self-inflicted wounds.
