It got overshadowed by the refs, but Grubb didn't coach his best against uga

Offense plan wasn't really that good. Sure, it looks like we ran the ball well. Take out keelon's runs and it was only 120 yards, bulk of that being a 58 yard run by T. Brown.

We didn't really get our passing game going under the uga pressure. One last efficient passing games this year.

It was ok. I've seen more questionable game......Without a long breakdown, I'd give him a grade of B on the game.

I am more interested in what he does this week.

Same for Wommack. Tenner is going to try to do the same thing uga did. Run the ball, and they have a legit running back, and limit possessions.

Keelon should have had sone designed runs especially in the second half.

Don’t have a qb capable of his career game, plus HOPEFULLY, no 3 man rush

The screen call to Crowell was dumb. Should have been a facemask call but why even test UGA's speed after a momentum change. Brown only had 9 carries. I don't understand why he didn't get way more when he was killing them on the ground.

I would like to see some improved tackling (too much sloppy tackling).

Sell out to stop the run, make the Vols one dimensional. I don’t believe McIntyre can beat us.

Bench Dijon Lee other than KO returns.

Pass rushing only 3 guys should only happen when it’s 3rd and at least 20 yards.

about the only thing he didnt do was call a triple reverse, wr hide behind the oak tree for a lateral.

i hope he doesnt see this post, because that would give him incentive to run it, most likely on 3rd and 2 in our own territory.

The play calling when we started drives in their territory was putrid.

He showed his tendencies. Georgia invited us to run and we didn't have a plan for it. And then they knew even if we had success, grubby would revert to his old tendencies.

The worst was the wasted series after Bray Hubbard's interception. Lateral plays are drive killers against Georgia.

It's easy to say this when we don't get the job done on offense, but you have to consider that Georgia probably has the best defense in the country this year, and we have a newbie at QB.

Georgia is just damn good this year, and if we want to beat them, KR is gonna have to grow up fast and play like an SEC veteran if/when we face them again.

It's a dumb take by people who don't even know what a defense is running talk much what play to counter. Our QB had wide open guys all first half and was missing them because he was panicking in the pocket. That isn't on Grubb.

Every OC makes mistakes, so yes that screen to the RB was not a good play to call there but if the refs actually called the facemask no one would talk about it.

Some here also can struggle with processing we aren't playing against air.

I don’t understand why he insist on getting in “Empty” sets.

There are good things you can do offensively out of “Empty”, but Grubb doesn’t use it well whatsoever.

I saw ESPN post during the SECCG last year where Bama had lost yards/sacks and incompletions along with intentional grounding on 36/41 plays out of Empty formations.

It’s always long/slow developing routes, and defenses send 6-man pressures just about every time to get a free-runner at the QB.

He seems to use it at the most in the most inopportune time too…like after back to back 7 yard runs, or on a 3rd and 2.

It’s an absolute drive KILLER.

It’s was a problem all last year, and it took Bama out of FG range twice (9 yard lost on the 1st and 10 at the Georgia 29, and also the one early in the game).

No one did their best against UGA except a couple of guys, neither coordinator. That said, we could very well have won the game with several instances of just one play going the other way.

The bodes well for us.

With our TE room why would you be in anything other than 12 or 13 personnel on 3rd and 5 or less? We should have 50 plays from these formations.

Doesn't this give the offense the best chance at success? Run, Pass, or Play Action? I just don't get doing anything else.

Grubb could win a NC at Bama and he is still going to call plays that are head-scratchers. Its just part of the package with Grubb.

Should have stuck with the run more. We were getting 4-5 yards everytime.

And I thought the playcall after the INT was horrible
