standing on the driveway after the game consuming way too much alcohol with about 10 other depressed Disney Dawgs, my buddies 12 year old pipes up and says, "They were ready for our run game and we weren't ready for theirs." Complete silence after that for a long time.

UF felt good enough about their DBs against our WRs to leave them on an island and make Mason beat them while moving 8-9 in the box to stop the run.
Didn't seem like we wanted to go all-in to stop the run at times and our lack of speed at ILB really hurt us.
I've been saying for a couple of weeks now, the way to stop our running game is a simple numbers game. If we go with a basic I-formation set then we have 5 down linemen, 1 TE, and 1 FB blocking, a total of 7 blockers. If a D mans up our WRs and trusts their DBs, that's 7 players trying to block 9. It's what happens when there is no threat of a passing game.

That's what happens when you have Mason as a QB, too. Schools don't fear him or our receivers. I am not so sure that if MM had more help that Mason would be any more effective. He is terrible. Just plain terrible.

Did Lorenzo Carter get in the game?

I think we tried but they were running mostly out of the spreaqd, so we had to put a DB on the WR. Out interior played well at times, but their RB would just bounce it outside, and all hell would break loose after that.

Shoulda put the damn kid on the sidelines. He sounds like he was more aware of what was happening than any of our coaches...

Contrary to popular belief, UGA did roll safeties up close to the line of scrimmage in run support. However, our DL and LBs were whipped so thoroughly man-to-man that it didn't make a difference. Also tackled badly, doubling down on general softness.

Good take from 12yo.
We got whipped. Tackling and containment having been big issues this year (up to now).
Was it the Gurley hangover?
Was it three years of beating UF in a row?
Was it all the talk of how crappy UF is?
Was it coming off two wins without Gurley?
Was it simply that UF wanted it more?
All of it? Either way, no doubt the players feel way worse than we do. I didn't get my arse beat. I had a great time last week (other than the few hours in the stadium).

Momentum is a funny thing. No doubt our players felt they would win going into the game and Florida's players, coaches and fans had their doubts. Then Georgia scored first and reinforced our beliefs. But then Morgan missed a routine FG in a vicious crosswind. After that the transformation began. Florida started running the ball on every down. They just pushed up the middle and their RB's were determined and bulldozed with the momentum of the pile in front of them and pushing behind them much like a Rugby match. As such they just kept getting first downs eating up at first only 3 or 4 yards at at time, then later 10 yard chunks a pop. When we did wall them in up front, their RB's did just what Chubb did on one play and bounced to the outside for big yardage; our outside containment was weak and simply awful. As the trend continued, our defense became weary and it was all over but the crying. Our final drive in garbage time made the game look closer than it was. In the end, Florida ran the ball for 418 yards, the most piled up against a Georgia defense since 1978.

Our outside containment guys were simply out played. Bad angles, giving up after being blocked the first time, and not any hard hitting that I noticed. Did we really think they were going to throw the ball? The bad part to me was there seemed to be NO adjustment at half time. The really bad part I noticed was we seemed to get out ran when they did break loose. I didn't see a player gain any ground and get close to running them down from behind. We were beat at half and took a beating the rest of the day. If we let the other teams attitude of "want it more" beat us this last weekend then we better get our heads out of our asses and get ready for Kentucky because I bet they are pumped after seeing that shite show we displayed.

Their WR's did good jobs of sealing off our defensive pursuit to the corner. They sprung some pretty big blocks at times.

Tons of strong replies in this thread...at the end of the day, linebackers and defensive ends played poorly. Allowing running backs to bounce outside over and over again was horrific.

I will say it again. That fake was probably the biggest thing to take the wind out of our sails. It seems that whenever something like that happens, we go flat. And we went flatter than flat in that game.

That, without question, falls on the coaching. We showed up with the intention to win. They were playing to survive. Huge difference in execution. The kids on the field are going to respond to kicks in the nuts like the fake FG TD. It's the coaches' responsibility to ensure that it doesn't blow them out of the water for the whole fricking game. This was their greatest failing on Saturday, IMO.

I called my 8 year old Sunday morning from Jax.
"Did you watch the game buddy?"
"Yea, Hutson Mason sucked"

I agree and a similar play led to our downfall in that 2006 Sugar Bowl vs WVU. WVU was up big in the first half. We battled back and scored a TD late in the 4th quarter down 38 - 35. We had them stopped about midfield when their punter faked the kick and ran for a first down with 1:25 remaining to seal our doom.
