The deal is, almost everyone says that was probably OSU's best game of the season.
It wasn't even close to ours. And a lot of it had to do with things we could control rather than what Ohio forced us into.
That said, the secret sauce against our defense is to have a first round NFL talent at QB playing his best game of the season and throwing to first round NFL WR talent. Beat us once last year and almost this year. The problem is there aren't many teams that have that.

They were kinda dominating then until Harrison was taken out
His loss was impactful but don’t act like he was doing much after early in the second quarter. It was Stroud who was playing lights out. Max isn’t Stroud.

I don't think Harrison had a catch after the first quarter.
We tried man coverage. It didn't work. After that, we bracketed coverage and he didn't catch anything. He alligator armed the throw in the back of the endzone. Couldn't catch a cold.

It's time to stop pretending that Georgia also didn't get away with it, including on what ended up being the game winning drive.

And UGA missed two closer FG's.
You're right that OSU had a chance to win... because they played their A game and UGA played a C+ game (two missed FG, more penalty yards, -1 in turnover margin).
But then they blew a FG and their A game turned into an A- game... and UGA won.
UGA was lucky that their C+ game was good enough. But it doesn't mean OSU was a better team who blew it. UGA was the better team that won with a less that great performance.

BS.
Our offense was clicking for about 35 minutes. Outside of that, not even close to our "A game."

yet you were +1 in turnover margin, got penalized less than UGA and missed fewer FG's.
Regardless of what grade you want to give yourself, UGA was two letters worse and still won.

There was a single turnover in the game, we had the same number of penalties, and missed one fewer kick.
Whatever fantasy world you're trying to create, it doesn't work.

Is this where only OSU was holding? I can show you a picture of the last UGA drive where they ripped a guys shoulder pads out of his uniform when the DE was close to Bennett. It's only significant for UGA though?

It can't be an A game from OSU when their AA WR from 2021, their AA WR from 2022, their Frosh AA from 2021, their All B1G TE from 2022, and their 2nd string RB aren't healthy when the game ends.
You can say it was UGA's C game all you want, but those two teams were equally matched. If OSU was even decently healthy, they probably win. It is what it is

Turns out it was more like motivated Georgia.
OSU had the perfect storm, but failed to deliver the final blow. Refs not calling holding, a month to prep for UGA, young UGA pups overlooking them, and OSU very motivated due to losing to Michigan and being told they were not as good as the SEC (they aren't).

What I can say is that if UGA had the same number of FG misses as OSU (1) and the same number of turnovers as OSU (0), UGA wins by 7-14 rather than 1.
OSU needed UGA to lose the turnover battle and miss more FG's to make the game close.
As for injuries... we were playing true freshmen OLB's who had almost no snaps this year at the end of the game due to injuries. Quit making excuses.

Ohio State was lucky to have a shot to win at the end of the Peach Bowl, UGA was unlucky to have missed 2 chip shot FGs earlier in the game which would have required OSU to score a TD and a PAT to send the game into OT...something they proved unable to do thus the missed FG. Luck is a 2 way street when you have 2 evenly matched teams and that is what OSU and UGA were with the better team prevailing in the end....

Is this an absolute truth??? Because if you watch the replay of that kick you will notice a Freshman Linebacker (4 star for those interested) with an incredible vertical jump which very well could have resulted in a blocked kick HAD the OSU kicker not tried to correct for that leap and pulled the ball too far to the left. UGA prevented OSU from getting into chip shot FG range, long kick required lower trajectory at the LOS, UGA player for all intents and purposes takes at least 75% of the distance between the uprights away from the kicker who over steered the ball to the left and missed the game winner. It happens every day in soccer games....kickers can and do steer the ball and that is exactly what happened so suggesting all UGA could od is watch and hope is not exactly true....

That only applies to a legitimate team not an over rated feel good story weak TCU team.

Podlesny, who is our excellent FG kicker, missed 2 shorter FG's during the game.
You can't rely on a 50-yard FG to with the game for you.
Plus his attempted was shanked badly; wasn't even close.
Even without game pressure, that guy would be lucky to make that 50-yard FG half of the time.
OSU Kicker steered the ball too far left to clear the leaping UGA freshman leaping linebacker who obscured 75% of the span between uprights with impressive vertical leaping skills. OSU could not get closer than 50 yards because UGA defense prevented them doing so. Long FGs require low trajectory...low trajectory kicks are prone to being deflected at the LOS....kickers at this level are absolutely able to steer the ball...watch soccer....they do it all the time....this time he simply steered it to far left to avoid the block. Watch the replay and if you are objective you will admit it is entirely possible....

Ohio State was the only team in the playoffs who were capable of competing with Georgia from start to finish. They had the talent and they had the depth and gave Georgia everything they wanted and more.
This is true. Alabama, with 2 losses, would have also given UGA all it wanted. Michigan probably would have also....but TCU was a bad matchup for UGA....their strengths played right into UGAs strengths and UGA was far stronger. They had one good receiver who was not elite and a good QB who was a winner but not gifted like stroud and young. Their defense was HORRENDOUS all season outside of getting turnovers in the big 12 where turnovers are the ONLY defense played'

Manage to get past LSU and UT and Alabama may very well get a shot to beat UGA in Atlanta next year and possibly again in the CFP....hard to imagine Alabama losing to both again next year but it could happen....
