The most effective pass play for Bama was throwing to the RB out of the backfield.
The TE had over 3x more receiving yards than both RBs combined.
quote:
UGA did everything not to get beat deep last night
But they did get beat deep, one a few different occasions by Williams and others.
quote:
They had a lot of catches last night but none were really impact catches (one TD).
He also had like a 55 yard catch and another big first down catch on their drive before the pick 6.
quote:
but they shut that part of the game down before his injury.
He played 17 min and in that time they hit a deep shot, to him. So no, they didn't shut anything down. They also had 2-3 receivers open on deep balls after his injury, they just dropped the ball.

Did Colt also play defense?
Did Metchie and Williams play defense? You can't have it both ways. Either injuries mean something or they don't.
Do injuries impact a game? Absolutely. Would the game have been different if Williams and Metchie had been out there the whole game? Absolutely. But nobody knows how much the game was impacted. Not definitively. Just like nobody can say how much the game was impacted by Colt McCoy was injured.
I think the whole point of the argument is don't use excuses that you don't want used against you.

Probably but y’all don’t beat Auburn and make the playoffs in the first place if Bo nix doesn’t get hurt on the iron bowl. Heck y’all might not have beat LSU if half or more of their starters were out. Injuries are as much a part of the game as turnovers

What was it you guys have told us about players being injured and excuses?

But you are not looking at the game, only the stat sheet. The pass to the RB converted third downs. Some of the TE passes only shortened the fourth down yardage or was for short yardage.

Williams didn't beat them long. The busted play had two safeties over the top. He was left alone in the middle and actually had to wait on the ball to catch it. That contributed to his injury, because he usually catches the ball in stride and outruns the secondary.

It was a busted play and wasn't a deep shot. It was underthrown (due to pressure) and he had three players between him and the endzone. Bama did not complete a deep post or flag all night. they had some outs that were open and dropped, but there was tight coverage on those plays.

Well we already played once and it was a blowout with Jamison. So I think we can say. Dude was on pace for another 150 yards, TD’s etc.
No excuses though. Injuries happen. Couldn’t find a way. Georgia won.

You have a lot of butthurt this morning. But UGA had a plan for slowing down Williams.
I really don't brother. I actually agree with you and it's mainly why I thought the loss of John Metchie was gonna loom large in last night's game. None of the other WRs and TEs on Bama's roster come close to either Williams or Metchie in regards to getting open and making plays in the passing game.
Georgia was going to be a tough out even if Metchie and Jameson were available all night. Jameson was the second leading WR last night even though he was only on the field a little over a quarter.

Yeah. Do you want me to come up with a dozen different excuses as to why that game might have been different due to our injuries, lack of urgency for a win etc?
Williams was there for the better part of the half and Alabama got 9 points. 3 of which came after he left the game and due to a fumble in the red zone.
quote:Look. I have no problem with you or most other Alabama fans. but you want to start the post with an excuse then end it with "No excuses though..."?
No excuses though. Injuries happen. Georgia won.
Metchie and Willaims are great WRs. no argument. It made a difference with Metchie out and Williams getting hurt. No doubt.
But if Alabama fans want to say Colt McCoy had no affect on their game in 2010(?) then you can expect to hear people say that Metchie and Williams injuries made no difference?
I would never agree with that point, but I also don't agree that the Texas game wasn't changed by McCoy's injury, either.

Latu had a great night, too. He reminded me a lot of Bowers the way he was running down the sideline. I was screaming at our defense, and couldn't understand why it took so long for them to catch up to him...until Ringo finally did. (I think that was Latu)

Well, it sure seemd like you did to me. You did much better than most teams. Brian Robinson is a hoss. I love the way he runs. I saw him break through our line last night and pushed one of our would be tacklers down into the ground.
Yeah the difference was the success of the passing game last month kind of opened up the running game. Alabama is a pass first offense.
Anyway, Georgia won the game in the 4th quarter. After the blocked field goal, they took it to another level, like all championship caliber teams, and left Alabama in the dust.
Bama could not stop the Georgia running game at that point.
On the flip side, Georgia was pinning back their ears and coming after Bryce.
Congrats to a great team. Georgia is loaded so I expect they'll be back for more championship runs in the years to come.

truly was not impressed with uga. Stetson had that deer in headlights look on his face for most the game, and uga didn't do anything that was impressive to me. Put Metchie and Jameson back on the field, and I dont think there is any doubt uga gets smoked exactly like they did in the SEC Championship. Valid point or melt ? I think it's valid.

Robinson had 2 catches for 1st downs. One on the final drive when Bama was dropping off giving up the underneath stuff with time running out.

So their brilliant plan didn't work? Seems like the threat of Williams caused 2 deep safeties and opened up the middle.

Kind of disagree with you there. Latu dropped a key play for a TD but he's dropped a lot of passes during the season. He also missed several key blocks.
Bowers is on another level compared to Latu. Bowers in gonna be playing in the NFL for a long time.

Metchie and Williams both injured themselves against Georgia. Georgia's elite defense is the reason you lost those players.
They had to push themselves too hard to compete with Georgia and paid the price for it.

I don't disagree with this. I'm pretty confident Alabama would have lost by two scores in Auburn if Bo Nix were the QB.
Alabama was pretty average all year. Georgia was definitely the better team over the course of the season. Bama was able to skunk them in ATL because a passing team with skilled WRs can do this on occasion. See some of Bama's past teams that were built similar to this Georgia team against Clemson with Watkins or A&M with Manziel.

All true. And we all know Alabama will be back. You have a ton returning....next year is going to be ugly for the rest of the country. Alabama will get payback in spades for everybody disrespecting them. I will enjoy this year, because next year it will be all Alabama.

They beat a wounded Elephant. Their offensive output was about the same as it was in the SECCG more or less.
We pretty much know what happens with Metchie and Williams out there, we have seen it. They can't do things on defense they could without them on the field. The announcers said as much during the game, they had no more excuses after Williams went down that was from the UGA staff to the players. Watch the replay.
Metchie was a nightmare, they had no answer and Young could go to him over and over. They had to respect Williams speed so they could not double Metchie and having them both with an accurate QB out there limited what Georgia could do,
Blitz and you get torched. Sit back and Metchie carves you up. plus it opens up things for others too and Bama can run the ball more.
Metchie's injury might be really bad news for next season. If he can get a higher draft grade by coming back, he might, and with everything Bama has coming back they are already pre season Number One in just about every poll.

Again, that is their normal gameplan.

The RB was open all night because UGA blitz, sometimes with both their LBs.

Their plan worked to a tee. Don't get beat deep and put pressure on Young. AU did the same thing and Bama had Metchie for that game. UGA didn't play that way in the SECCG.

I agree with this. The guys were really pushing it the limits out there because Georgia is a great defensive team. It's ironic both guys injuries were non contact.
