Yea I thought Oregon did a better job (in the first half when I was watching and it was still somewhat competitive) of moving the ball with the short passing game than i anticipated. However, Bo Nix was there to screw it up every time they seemed to have something going 
UGA looked very good though no arguing that

Oregon just looked like a poorly coached team. I was shocked at how bad their tackling was.
I agree with this. I think Oregon has talent but they missed a lot of tackles that contributed to the YAC. I don't think anyone thought Oregon was gonna win this game but with their talent it should have been a closer game.
I don't see anyone in the East staying with UGA and only Bama having the horses to stay with them in the West. The UGA tight ends are really good and are a mismatch nightmare for any team out there. Gonna be a fun season to watch it all unfold.

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.
Totally agree. Those injuries cost the Tide their ability to move the ball. Just like the 2017 national championship game when UGA's most effective RBs (Sony 8-89 and Swift 3-26) went out late in the first half with injuries. Adding to fuel to the fire was the Dawgs losing their best 50/50 ball WR in Javon Wims after JUST one catch in the first quarter. No wonder the Dawgs couldn't move it much in the 2nd half allowing for the Tide comeback!

NO, NO, NO! THOSE INJURIES DON'T COUNT. ONLY BAMA INJURIES COUNT!

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?
Georgia is still very good, but Oregon was overrated. What we saw Saturday was both.

I'm enjoying the shite out of these tears. IF IF IF

Do you mean UGA losing their best defensive end, D'Andre Walker, to injury late in the first half of the 2018 SECCG after wrecking shite most every Bama possession and knocking out their starting QB didn't count?

Not much of a surrounding cast for Nix. Their Defense is bad even for the Pac12.
Well, that's not quite true. OLine and defense was thought to be a strength. They have two former 5* ILBs in Justin Flowe and Sewell. And had a group that was heavy on Jrs. and Srs. that were pretty highly rated.
Nix had a better situation for a supporting cast than he had at Auburn. Over the past 5 years Auburn finished higher in recruiting rankings only once and Auburn finished one spot higher that year.
Their talent level was not near what Georgia's is, and they had inexperienced coaches...but the surrounding talent never indicated a 46 point blowout.

Can't believe UGA broke the rant, crazy simulation times.
The UGA offense is likely the best in the nation tbh. They just have too many weapons rn.
The front 7 is a work in progress. Talent is there to improve but they are susceptible.
The secondary has a very high ceiling. Muschamp has always been a safety whisperer. Two safeties got 1 int a piece and the corners are solid.
STs are probably decent, still TBD.

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's insane how well the transition looked week 1 after losing the likes of Walker, Jordan Davis, and Dean. I mean that's 3 ELITE defenders gone and the defense looks at least as good.
And that doesn't even get into the offense and the progress Stetson looks to have made. It looks like he and Monken are working with one mind and could call anything in the playbook with success.
As much as it pains me as an Auburn fan to say, that may be one of the most impressive things I've ever seen a college program do from one year to the next. If they keep up the pace the rest of the year, they look unbeatable.

If so, it's sort of shocking to see Auburn with one five-star on the whole team (Owen Pappoe, who is a senior).
According to 247Sports we've signed exactly 17 5-star recruits out of HS in the 20+ years they have tracked (and only 2 in the last 5 classes).

I have never seen a Georgia offense make the other team defend from sideline to sideline the way they did.
In a nutshell Oregon's defense could not keep up and make tackles in space that is required to defend against that type of offense. Georgia's ground game was not as prolific as we would generally like to see but they did roll up 570+ yards.
I saw some Oregon youtubers taken before and after the game. They were in complete shock at what they had witnessed. Kind of like Michigan people this past season.

I know you guys hate us..and that is fine. But Auburn fans (as a whole) have been very fair and gracious towards us the past week.

Jalen Carter is better than Wyatt, Walker, and Davis. Everyone already knew that. The rest of the DL is working to get up to that level.
We may have to play Carter at nose some this year until the rest of his crew are ready for big time OLs (Oregon was supposed to be big time).
Ironically, we have upgraded athleticism at ILB. They just have to get their film room eyes right for Saturdays. They are currently about a half step slower than last year's crew.
DB is a strength this year (that is what happens when you are young the prior year). Still... they will have to hold their water against more third and shorts and more total plays overall.

I'm still confused as to why Oregon hired Planning. This is no knock on him personally or against UGA. But he was a position coach at a bunch of insignificant programs before being named DC at Georgia. And let's be honest, any half decent coach could have called defense with the talent he inherited at Georgia (not to mention Kirby is an elite defensive guy).
Just seemed like a massive reach for Oregon. Surely they could have gotten a proven head coach to come build on the foundation Cristobal had laid out. It's Oregon and Nike money ffs. And like you said, the talent gap in paper is not a 46 point gap.

I egt what you are saying. It surprises me, too. Programs are always willing to take a chance on some young unproven coach hoping to catch lightening in a bottle is all I can think of. With time I think he'll be ok, but he will need some time....3-4 years, at least.

Lanning is a players coach. He is a much younger Sam Pittman. The idea is for him and Nike to recruit to Oregon and beat up on the PAC.
He will endear himself to the university. And if they can build a conference championship roster, then they made the right hire.
They have to beat out USC for recruits though. If he can't win on the trail, he isn't doing his job in Oregon.
