2 of 3 Nattys

You haven’t had one since the * Covid year with a shortened season


1) Metchie and Williams (the two players who dunked all over you a month prior in a blowout loss) didn't play in the rematch.

2) You completely dodged Bama in 2022.

Beck, we are finding out (but had already suspected for a while) is simply a competent game manager. Without a star studded cast around him, he's mediocre at best.

Georgia is in trouble

They pulled the starters at or before the half on both sides of the ball? And didn’t allow an offensive TD this year?


They scored 56 in the first half. I doubt their starters were in.

Williams did play.in the NC game. He got injured midway through the second quarter. Bama had scored 3 or maybe 6 points when he went out. Of course UGA was starting a walk on in the secondary due to injuries in the NCG like they did in the SECCG. (Dan Jackson). Jackson still had to play quite a bit as UGA's secondary was still quite beat up.

UGA didn't dodge Bama. Bama lost to LSU and Tennessee. That's not UGA's doing, that's Bama's. UGA beat both those teams handily.


Also, as for the image... most college football historians view a dynasty as 3 NC's in a 6-8 year window. Bama had an exceptionally long dynasty, but they look at stretches like Nebraska's 3 titles from 1994-1997 as a dynasty. Or Miami's 4 titles from 1986-1994.

So if UGA wins a title in the next couple of years... or two titles in the next 5-6 seasons... they'll be viewed as a dynasty.

In all three games? Because that’s what the Vols did. And props to them if they did. Potentially losing to a bad Houston and meh Tulane but sticking to the plan is pretty cool.

UGA has done that too right? Themat high powered O that you broke down so thoroughly of UGAs had zero issues averaging 45 plus this season right?

I think we’re top 10 right now; not top 5, though. Texas, Bama, Ohio St., Tennessee, and Ole Miss should all be ahead of us right now. Could be another team or two.

No they didn't. UTk scored 45 first half points against UTC and 20 first half points against NCSU. You did score 65 against Kent State in the first half though.

Nope. We've been a second half team with offense. We only scored 6 in the first half against Clemson, 3 against UK and 24 against Tennessee Tech. We've started slow offensively in every game. We stayed slow against UK.

Read more of the chain. That was in reference to pulling starters. UT has seen 1 3rd quarter with its starters. A nd that was part of the 3rd quarter against NCST.

That was for DJ. But honestly that is UGA is under Kirby. A deep front 7 and can wear teams down and be a”second half team”. I texted a couple of UGA buddies waiting for that to happen Vs UK and it just didn’t happen.

GA had early game struggles the last couple seasons. It happens. I agree with what Kirby said that it will make them sharper, and falling out of #1 is probably the best thing that could happen for that locker room (and the worst for Texas locker room!). I'd much rather be ranked 2-3 right now. Anyway we'll definitely get Georgia's best shot.

I haven’t broken down the 2024 O Yet.

We can start by you telling us when garbage time began against Clemson.

That only happens when you have drives in the first half to wear the opponent down. UGA's longest drive of the first half against UK was 6 plays. UGA only had one first half drive of 6 plays or less against Clemson by comparison.

While the points scored weren't dramatically different (6 vs Clemson, 3 vs UK) the way it played out was different, which is why UK didn't get worn out. UGA's second half was more like a normal UGA first half... where 75% of their drives were long and punishing but they only threw up 10 points. If UGA had done that in the first half, they probably wold have put up 20ish second half points and had a comfortable win. But the first half against UK was COMPLETELY ineffective. Short drives, no wear on the opponent defense and few points.

It's pointing out the idiocy of claiming that a game in the state of GA "counts as a home game" for UGA. Playing at GT isn't a home game anymore than playing in Auburn is a home game for Bama. Neither is playing in the Georgia dome in the Peach bowl, SECCG or a pre-season neutral site game.

No one said it counts as a home game.

Georgia absolutely had more supporters in the dome than Clemson.

Why is that so hard for y'all to admit?

I’ll buy that. I still believe Bobo is a bad fit at OC for Kirby. He can’t call a game to save his life. Even with the goal to just wear out a defensive front 7 so you can pretty it up in the second half he isn’t the guy. Monken is likely available again after this year or next. Atleast he could do what Kirby wants done on O.

And when was the last time y’all struggled with Kentucky offensively?
.

3 of the last 4 years. It’s the SEC on the road. As good as Alabama was under Saban, and no one can deny how good they were, they lost a couple to ATM and Ole Miss and Auburn. The SEC is a different animal. UGA may not be as good as they were even last year but struggling against Kentucky is not any indication….we struggled against Kentucky in 21 and 22 and won a natty each year. It’s the SEC. There are dudes on every roster, even Vandy has some.

We've seen Georgia slop around like this before against mediocre to bad teams. It doesn't mean they wont win every single game, let alone miss the playoffs(which would probably take 3 losses.)
