I don't think we ran a single play we hadn't run with Beck. The prep for the game on our end was based on Beck not Stockton so they ran the plays we practiced.

I don't think we ran any QB designed runs with beck. If we did, it was very, very few. We ran at least two QB designed runs with Stockton. Also, it is not only a matter of what plays but then the plays are run.

Honestly? I was shocked at how many passes Stockton threw on 3rd down plays in crunch situations.

You'll just have to trust me, that play calling was different with Stockton than they would have been if Beck had been in there. It happens on the high school, college and NFL levels.

Not saying it wasn't different, but the plays themselves were from Becks preparation with the 1s.

They didn't call scout team plays.....

That's the lamest excuse ever. If Texas wasn't prepared to defend a QB that can run a little, then Sark is to blame for the loss. If he watched any Georgia film he knew Beck could run if needed.

Probably because of Beck being out.

General response to the topic. Not specific to anyone. Even w Beck out very surprised by that spread if it stays. ND has a ton of injuries as well. They threw up a graphic at the end of the USC game that ND had 8 starters out by the end of the game
2 best OL
2 best pass rushers
Best D tackle
Best CB
Best RB
Starting LB

I think 5 are out for the rest of the year so if ND beats IU which is no gimme UGA would be very tough assignment. Btw a suckers bet would be betting ND over UGA since UGA getting points is the obvious bet.

If the game never gets played because Indiana beats ND, does everyone get their money back on this bet?

Luckie and Delp were the X factors. They both made clutch catches and YACs in the 2nd half at critical moments.

You know they have plays, and then variations on plays, right? Some plays make it to a particular game and some do not. In the event of an injury (To Beck, for instance) they can go to different plays or variations to pick plays that better suit the personnel that is available.

If we call the same plays for Stockton that we call for Beck then our coaching staff should be sued for malpractice. They are two totally different types of players with vastly different skill sets. If they were similar in skill set, I would say yes. Plug and play. But they are not even close.

They were huge factors, no doubt. But, I would argue Etienne becoming a factor helped most. Texas had our running game bottled up the entire first half. When we came out and was successful running in the second half everything changed. It opened up the play action. The defense had to start coming up to stop the run and it opened up Delp and Luckie.

On a side note, that catch made along the sideline was off the charts good. When it happened I thought "No way he got his foot down." I couldn't believe it until they got the close up on the review. That was crazy good.

Know all that, but during game prep they run through the plays most likely to be used that week and it is based on QB1. Not qb2 unless they put in a package for him.

All those plays were standard UGA plays released for that game.

Or Georgia's defense.

But according to UGlie fans, your back up is better anyway. Why is this a thread? If you’re confident you’re going to beat a team that has beaten only one ranked team this year and lost to Northern Illinois then make you some money baw.

UGA is not that good

Lost to Bama and Ole Miss. 2 dying teams with bad coaches.

Explain "not that good."
To me, "not that good" is 8-4 and the Kinder's Texas Bowl. Maybe you have another take.

What does LSU have to do with it. LSU isn’t good either. But Bama isn’t good. 9-3 with losses to Vandy and a blowout loss to OU. People are stuck on the Bama name forgetting that Bama as we knew it is dead.
