Georgia ranks first in the SEC currently in yards per carry.

Taking a shot at LSU's running game is warranted. Not sure about some of the others you mentioned.

Not sure why you think so.

UGA is 1st in the SEC in yards per carry at 6.6 yards per carry.

People still have this picture in their head that UGA is a run first, run heavy team. But the reality is UGA is a past first team that runs the ball late to salt wins away.

What UGA is NOT is a hurry up offense. Even when passing they use most of the play clock, so they don't run a ton of plays. UGA only has 121 offensive snaps in 2 games this year. 70 pass and 51 run. That's the same number of plays as most "run-first" offenses even though UGA passes first.

Tennessee is kind of the opposite. People think they're a pass first offense, but they run more than they pass. But they run plays fast. Tennessee has 157 plays in 2 games, 36 more than UGA. They have 90 runs and 67 passes.

This is one of the reasons I don't expect the score in the UGA/UK game to be a blowout. UK tends to run few plays as well, just like UGA. So unless UGA scores on every drive, they won't have a huge number of points. UK's only run 105 plays this season (only 30 pass attempts).

Actually if you factor in number of attempts, Vandy is like 10th. If you eliminate FCS games, they’re 14th. Context usually matters



Actually, if you remove first, second, third down runs, any time the sun was not covered by a cloud and all rushes during the day light hours.

They’d now be 15th or 16th.

Context usually matters.

Nothing like minimizing an issue by completely over exaggerating.

A player did kill a staffer and the one you’re referring to did get a dui.

You clearly have a problem with dumbasses behind the wheel in Athens.

You may joke but your scenario is closer to on point than not.

Kind of funny.

1 - A player did not kill a staffer at UGA. A staffer killed a player (and herself).

2 - Ettienne didn't get a DUI. That charge was dropped due to the fact he passed the breathalyzer. He ended up being charged with driving with improperly tinted windows, failure to maintain lane and underage possession of alcohol.

What you did here was over exaggerate to make an issue seem to exist that doesn't.

Yards per rush attempt IS context.

Yes, Tennessee leads the SEC in rushing yards per game. But the context is that it took them 90 rush attempts to put up those 553 yards. 6.1 YPA.

It took UGA 51 rush attempts to put up 335 yards... which is 6.6 yards per attempt.

UGA runs for more when they attempt to run the ball than UT does. Yards per attempt gives you that context.

Vandy had 423 yards rushing on 87 attempts. 4.9 yards per carry.

The only reason the national media isn't running with this is because of the rumor there might still be some Christians matriculating at Vanderbilt and the Jews that run the media don't want them to have the spotlight, despite the fact Vanderbilt makes money cutting genitals off of children.


Let's not pretend every university in the world wouldn't accept federal funding to chop genitals off kids if they were good at it. University administrations across the board are an immoral bunch.

I'll defer to the Tennessee Attorney General's office and its investigation regarding VUMC and their gender reassignment plight -

Yeah the unbiased Tennessee AG with no agenda

I’m flirting the line of breaking my own code. I won’t reply any further to this talking point.
