Pretty amazing seeing how good this Georgia team is. That was a bigger beatdown than they gave anyone last season. The offense looks better. Stetson looks extremely comfortable. The defense is plug and play with more four and five stars. The tight ends are maybe the best I've ever seen in CFB. The WRs can make elite plays.

Bo Nix transferred there because of how well Cristobol has recruited the past few years. Per 247's recruiting rankings, Oregon finished #7 in 2019, #12 in 2020, #6 in 2021, and #13 in 2022.

I don't see a weakness. I'd be surprised if they aren't 12-0 heading into Atlanta as the favorite to win the SEC.

Defense is still developing.

We are adjusting to life without a nose tackle. There are a few things we are working on that should lead to better results by October.

It is a little bit of an excuse, but new HC, new OC, and a ton of transfers... I don't think we were as prepared from a film perspective as we will be for future offenses.

Defense still has a ways to go. They’ll get better but they are young and missed a lot of assignments. Hopefully the film will keep the humble and hungry.

Absolutely no knock on UGA here, didn't get to watch the game. Any chance Oregon was over rated, or is UGA absolutely as good as last year?

The preseason talk that no one mentioned is that the UGA offense has been practicing against that defense for over 3 seasons.
And Todd Monken is an NFL caliber playcaller.

Whether Oregon is overrated or not, their defense didn't have a chance in hell (better athletes with better coaching with 3+ years reps against those looks against a team doing a new install on defense with less talent and about 8 months of "practice" reps.)

Edit to add: the UGA offense is that good against that defense. Other defensive schemes? TBD.
But year 3 with the same NFL mind and system... we are improved over what was a very very good offense last season

Oregon is overrated. Georgia's defense is good but not dominant like last year. Offense is better. Overall I would say so far not quite on last year's level, but they could get there. This team seems as hungry as last year.

Oregon is number 7 in overall team talent per 247. 11 out of 15 defenders who get the majority of the reps are 4 or 5 stars. Their linebackers are top notch.

Dan Lanning played tight in the middle so the running game and long passes were hard to come by. Monken attacked the outside and Lanning never adjusted. Most of Stetson's throws were 5 or 6 yards to the RBs with a lot of YAC.

I think Oregon will compete for the Pac 12 title. They're good, but we out schemed them with better players.

Oregon just looked like a poorly coached team. I was shocked at how bad their tackling was.

Don't their metrics take into account the entire current roster?

If so, it's sort of shocking to see Auburn with one five-star on the whole team (Owen Pappoe, who is a senior).

As alluded to previously in this thread, what you're seeing on offense is a creative, talented OC who is completely in sync with his improved, veteran QB.

On the defensive side, you're seeing talent and speed, but a lack of experience. Last year's defense was head and shoulders better, but the new guys are so fast and talented that they'll still play at a very high level. Just not all-timers like last year.

It's hard to say what the exact situation is. Are we that good, or is Oregon that bad....or maybe a combination? We felt out offense would be much better this year...and we really didn't do a lot of blitzing or bringing extra people in to rush the passer, so it's hard to get a read on that.

Guessing? Oregon has a new staff, new QB, new offensive and defensive scheme....probably a combination of us being a bit better than many thought and Oregon a bit worse than many though.

Not much of a surrounding cast for Nix. Their Defense is bad even for the Pac12.

Oregon may be somewhat overrated... but overrated to the point they're like Vandy or Mizzou? Not a chance.

Let's say for comparison that Oregon is the equivalent of Auburn, Florida or SC LAST YEAR. Those teams were all 6 or 7-loss teams. UGA beat them by 24, 27 and 27 respectively.

UGA beat Oregon by 46. The only P5 team they beat by more than that last year was Vandy (62-0).

According to 247's talent index, Oregon has the 7th most talented team in the nation. A higher level of talent then any other team UGA plays in the regular season.

Just going on how they looked. They maybe a HS All-star team, but they looked like a weak college team.

Ga got butt whipped in the SEC championship. Bama was leading in the 4th qtr of Natty having loss their two best receivers and their best cornerbacks injured. If Ga played Bama last week they would have lost the game by at least 2 TDs.

You have to take into account who they faced. Looking horrible against UGA or Bama or OSU might mean you still look great against Florida, Auburn and Wisconsin. The most talented teams are really a step above everyone else due to that level of talent.

This is an example of someone making excuses.

Excuses are for when your team loses but you refuse to accept that you lost and instead want to pretend you won.

UGA doesn't make excuses for last year... because they don't have to. The won the games that mattered. The SECCG had no impact whatsoever on UGA's season. They were already a lock for the playoff before the game won. This is why UGA didn't change QB's when they were down to put the guy with the big arm in... they didn't need to win the game, they needed to prepare their team to win the playoff. Giving their starter more confidence by not pulling him was more important than trying to win a game to get a #1 seed rather than a #3 seed.

UGA made decisions based on what was best to win the national title, not what was best to win the SECCG. It worked.

That's just reality, not "what if". UGA won the one that mattered most. Feel free to make excuses as to "why". UGA doesn't need to do that because they won.
