Defense i do not like. Maybe it was just situational i dont know. Offense was ok. Just ok though and casey Thompson will enter the transfer portal, ill bet since hudson card is the QB.




I didn't watch a lot of your game but what I saw Card looked pretty good.

B. Run game looks fantastic, we have two amazing athletes at QB. Need to figure out who can read a defense and make a throw. Defense will be better than last year (not saying much) with a much improved front 7 and decent secondary.

In short? A-. Below is my lengthy thoughts.

Way too many petty, pointless penalties on both sides of the ball. Not seeing enough production at WR. Really like Joyner's attitude and team mentality, but I don't think he's going to work out at WR. OrTre Smith was unusually quiet. Backs looked solid but it took them awhile to get going vs. a trashcan team. That aside, I really like our RB room right now. Interested to see how Kevin Harris returning next week shakes up the running game vs. ECU. White had a great night. TEs look very good. Bell specifically has me very excited, although Muse has continued to look good on the field. QB Zeb Noland took me by surprise and looked very solid. Great story with that guy and I'm glad it worked out last night. Brown had some good reads, but the fumble is definitely going to set him back a bit on the depth chart. Hope he'll get another chance.

Defense was very strong and commanded the field every down. Probably one of our best defensive lines in awhile, tackling is a lot better so far and coming right out the gate with turnovers. Jordan Burch really made me excited with that Pick-6. I hope he can really settle into his college career this season.

Defense and special teams were both the most consistent parts of the night. Both played lights out.

4th down conversions, 2-pt conversion, blocked punts, pick sixes. We did it all. Against a horrible team, sure...but we all start somewhere. Dominating the bottom-tier teams is the first step of many to get to that big stage.

For UGA, an A+ on defense...a C- on offense (considering all the players out on O in Clemson game). Otherwise, it would be an F.

Incomplete. Level of competition was too disparate to call it more than a scrimmage.

B-. Pass blocking was suspect at times and King definitely forced some throws that he shouldn't have and paid the price. On the upside, the run game looked excellent and the defense held a pretty good offense to 10 points after giving 4 turnovers, so I really can't complain. These are all issues that can be fixed.

C+ for Bama

Bama left a lot points on the field. O-line was average at best. Young was good, but not great. RB were just ok. Defense was decent.

C- tops. It was an unholy hot hell on the field though. When you got guys from Houston cramping every play, it’s way too hot. Should have been a night game.

We have the dumbest fans.

Even Saban said we did well.

Mizzou D+

They won, so not an F. The pass rush from the DL was limited until LB blitzes were used. The LBs were not filling the gaps and out of position allowing too many big runs up the middle..

The OL struggled in pass protection.

A lot to clean up.

C- , a win is a win though. Looking ahead what is a Kroger Field ? Ohio retailer naming Kentucky facilities ? Do they take SNAP cards at the ticket office ?
