Also. can we get an adjusted score for each game last year if Tua would have played every game.


60-7 for each one right?

He would have thrown at least 4 more INTs.

Bammer benefited more from an inept officiating crew than they did Tua!

you'll never know. Kirby took his foot of the gas pedal in the second half and tried to hold onto a win.

tua was making some freshman mistakes. he's a good qb, but you just never know how it would've turned out. starting is different.

We benefited from an inept Jim Chaney and Kirby Smart more than anything.

To counter this what if the refs would have called false start on the punt? Or facemask on bama while uga was pushing their shite in essentially the off-season threads would be filled with bama tards saying saban needs to hang it up

Point went way over your head. Try again:

We didn’t have a halftime to adjust for tua.

This went over your head just because you were able to adjust to Mayfield it doesn't mean you would be able to do the same for Tua. You didn't adjust and you had no answer. Doesn't matter if it was 1 quarter or 10. Tua lit you up for 26 points in what was essentially one half of football. Hurts could have played 10 quarters and we likely wouldn't have scored a touchdown.

It’s silly for you to claim it would be impossible to make solid halftime adjustments immediately after we made solid halftime adjustments vs a better qb, but you never have been a solid thinker. Baker lit us up for 31 in literally, not essentially, one half.

Baker didn't just shine that game, I didn't think. It was that you couldn't stop their RB. Guy had like 200 yards rushing and seems like most was in the 2nd half. Once you guys got it close, Riley looked like he got spooked by it and started trying to rely on Baker to save him and didn't feed the RB enough in the 2nd half.

Not saying you wouldn't have stopped him after half-time adjustments, but just saying I think Mayfield got too much credit for Oklahoma's performance in that game and the RB didn't get enough.

Maybe you are letting that 2nd half domination cloud your memory. Baker destroyed us in the first half. He was 4/4 for 78 yards and a td in drive 1. Then the rb ran all over us.

We lost with him playing a half. We probably would have lost by more if he played the whole game.

Who knows for sure?

Maybe in a closer game we don’t go so conservative in the second half. Maybe Tua struggles to start the game and then gets nervous. Maybe we don’t have a pass hit a Bama DL’s helmet where it gets intercepted.

Maybe Tua dominates the whole game.

It doesn’t really matter. We lost, y’all won. If we won, I could not care less about any hypothetical situation that would have let us win by more.

You realize our personnel and Oklahoma's personnel were totally different? We play a different type of Offense and Defense than they do. You can't just try and sub in Tua for Mayfield when it is a totally different system of play. There are variables at play here. Georgia had no answer for Tua. None. It is the sole reason why you lost the game. Hurts wasn't going to lead us to anything other than several botched/missed field goal attempts at best.

Of course Jim Chaney and Kirby shoulder blame as well.

Being a huge homer is blinding you silly. There is no perfect system that is immune to all adjustments. OU had one of the best offenses in the history of cfb and it did much more damage to our defense than yours did.

This is obviously a troll but you’re going to get idiots that tell you Georgia would have somehow “adjusted” to Tua. I don’t see how you can “adjust” to stop someone making great throws. You can adjust to a dual threat QB but how much can you actually do to “prepare” for a good passer? He either makes the throws or doesn’t.

Tua made some phenomenal throws


He also had a bad int, another dropped int, and a touchdown pass that was very bad and went to the wrong player



Im not certain that you can say if he started the whole game it all would have gone the same

Closer than 13 being the max lead and down to 10 or less from 5 minutes left in the 3rd?
