one bad game
You've played 6 P5 opponents and looked like crap in 3 of them.
The only reason that you are relevant is your scoring offense.
And you are averaging 36.8 ppg against P5 opponents. Third best in conference.
Your team isn't special.
Your defense is special. But not for reasons to be proud.

UGA rushed for 3.5 yards per carry. UT played it’s worse game while UGA played its best. Don’t expect hooker to over throw 2 TD’s next game like he did Saturday. Bru and Hyatt both was alone in end zone and should have been TD’s. But non the less it wasn’t. But we will see you 3,000 miles away from Athens for the rematch and you fans won’t have near the impact they had this weekend.

Is this even true? Lost two fumbles, which in itself indicates that that is false.
UGA offense was much sharper against Oregon, for instance.

2 fumbles and choosing not to pass at all after being up 21? You mistake mercy for weakness.
Your team got brutalized.

Kind of irrelevant when you’re throwing for 10 yards per attempt.

There is a whole lot of wishful thinking in this post.
The first thing you have to realize is that UGA knew that they were in the playoff before the SECCG started. Now UGA was still trying to win, but when they got down due to QB mistakes, instead of putting in their bigger armed QB who might have a chance of coming back, they stuck with Bennett.
Why?
The answer is pretty obvious. UGA wasn't going to hurt Bennett's confidence by benching him in a game that would be nice to win but wasn't a "must win". Instead they proved that they were sticking with him... not in order to beat Bama but to win future games.
That's something you don't do in a must win game. Bama in 2017 benched Hurts for Tua because it was a must win. UGA didn't bench Bennett for Daniels because it wasn't.
UT wasn't in that scenario. They have a SHOT at making the playoff, but it's far from certain. THey didn't hold anything back they could have done in order to win because of future games.
The other point you miss is that while UGA did lose by a bigger margin than UT did... the method of that loss was different. UGA was actually up 10-0 after the first quarter, then made uncharacteristic mistakes in coverage (for them) to be down 24-17 at the half, with the game still very much in play.
Then in the third quarter, UGA turned the ball over while Bama continued to play fairly mistake free football. That included an interception in the Bama red zone and a pick 6 that put the game out of reach with a 10-14 point swing.
That's very different from getting 3 of your 6 first half points off of a turnover and being down 24-6 at the half and never sniffing a 2 score margin until garbage time.
People watching the first UGA/Bama game critically believed that UGA might have a chance if they were even in turnovers instead of -2. In the rematch UGA was +1 in turnovers and won by 15.
UT and UGA WERE even in turnovers. And the game wasn't as close as the score as UGA slowed down their passing game in the rain and then ran out the clock to end it rather than looking to widen the margin (which we all know they easily could have done).
UT's chance to win is for UGA to play a horrible game. They have no shot without UGA making a huge number of mistakes more than UT does. This game was even mistake wise... and it wasn't close.

Different divisions. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this.
Take your L and try again next year.

This time last week you were screaming over and over that Tennessee would score 54 points and crush Georgia. You knew that for a fact too.

UT forced 2 fumbles just UGA forced an INT.

Your right about trying again next year. Gonna be January 2023 next year though, for the rematch.

Lol
UGA rushed for 5 yards per carry in the first half.
In the second half with the lead and weather, UGA ran into stacked boxes over and over and over and still managed 7 runs for 4 yards or more.

UGA didn't play it's best game. It was more of a C+ effort offensively and a B+ on defense.
We also had a grand total of 4 second half pass attempts (3 were on the first drive of the second half). UGA didn't try to keep scoring, they realized with a 3 TD lead after the first drive of the second half, the game would be over if they just ran the ball the rest of the game because UT didn't have the time to march down the field 3 times to score and were unable to pass deep against a UGA secondary guarding specifically against that.
After UGA's FG in the 3rd and the exchange of fumbles... UT had just 3 drives the rest of the game, and one took 6+ minutes and got no points. UGA didn't even have much success running out the clock themselves... they went 3-out, 3-out and 4 plays to run out the clock to end the game. It just didn't matter because the lead was too big (and Smart knew that and decided a guaranteed win was better than putting that at risk to win bigger).
UGA had a fair number of poor pass attempts, some misses on defense (which include the pass that set up UT's garbage time TD and several defensive holding calls that prolonged the drive) and no success running the ball to salt the game away. They were also way above their average in penalties overall for the game. (They are a top 10 team in terms of not being penalized).
UGA won with an average game, not with their best performance.

Hooker plays like shite when defenders are in his face.
You don't even have to hit him. Just get in front of his feet and he crumbles.
It wasn't just UGA. He did the same thing against Pitt.
Send pressure. Play a lot of man coverage. Mix up back end protections a few times.
Hooker is not the kind of QB who is going through progressions and reading the entire field. He is too conservative with the football when things aren't perfect.
