Take away the 2 fumbles and it's likely 42 to 6 final. Score board doesnt tell the whole story. Kirby doesnt care about running up the score on these teams. He never has and probably never will. He treats them as glorified scrimmages.

If my aunt had pecker she’d be my uncle. AP had the 136th ranked recruiting class in 2023, I’m sorry but we shouldn’t struggle to score from inside the 1 yard line on them. Too big of a talent gap IMO.

That i agree with, some teachable moments there for sure. I'm just not putting as much stock in this game as most are. I believe Kirby tries to make these games harder than they actually are. Instead of boosting numbers and appeasing fans with a cup cake he plays with personnel and works on things they aren't great at. It creates adversity where there shouldn't be any and builds depth. Think that's why you never see uga putting 60 and 70 up against these teams. What I replied to was directly related to the comment of only putting up 28. Turnovers are killer when your running the ball that much and limiting possessions

I don’t recall that happening during the Monken era

I think that had more to do with Stetson, Bowers, McConk, and the other ballers who took short passes to the house from all over the field....

I recall Stetson throwing 5 tds in his first game against UAB. I think at least 4 were deep balls.

Do you also recall that same team shitting the bed vs Kent state and everyone here doing the same thing they are now? Won a natty that year
Posted on 9/10/25 at 9:22 am to HypersonicDawg
That Kent State team had a wr that could make it rain on the outside of the numbers.

I doooo recall that game being closer than it should, but not as bad as the AP game and I don’t recall 2 lackluster games against cupcakes back to back with the last looking worse than the first.
Posted on 9/10/25 at 9:24 am to lewis and herschel
And yes. Some of these people really need to go back and count the number of screens to Bowers, ladd and jacksaint. Difference in those teams and last 2 yrs isn't just OC. Athletes at receiver and ability/willingness to block down field.

Dude that same year we only put 33 on samford 5 more points than AP and gave up 22 to freaking Kent state while only scoring 39. 2 cupcakes,couldn't put 40 on either and the D played worse

My point is that penalties and negative plays are inevitable. They can be cleaned up to an extent, but the idea that you can clean it up to where you can average 5 yards per play and score efficiently isn’t realistic.
We’re gonna need to make some 3rd and 15s in big games.

I guess I wouldn’t be as critical of the last game if I didn’t watch us struggle to score until we had to late in games last year. Seems like under Bobo the more aggressive the play calling has to be the better our offense performs.

At least 2 were short passes to Brock and one a jet sweep. He outran a bunch of angles.

The only struggle outside of two fumbles was the goal line with a 1st down with near seconds left forcing us to pass to extend the number of plays. Drop, bad pass, missed assignment.....
With 2 minutes on the clock we just punch it in on the ground.

Only down 7 at the half. Why would we make a switch at all?
Posted on 9/10/25 at 10:57 am to Porter Osborne Jr
In that scenario, that also includes virtually no ability to throw down field at that point in the game.
Even for a series, you don’t try out Pugs to see if we can open it up?

I understand what you mean and you are correct. Yet, especially on first and second down, if the opposing team gives us 5 yards on a RPO to the outside with the possibility for more, do we take it or try to throw down field? I understand this is not every play, but it was a lot of plays. And if the defense stacks the box* and plays tight man, then you do not make that read and other things open up. People want to make it something it isn’t. Some are just trolls and we know who they are, but I do think a lot of UGA fans do not understand this.

I don’t. We’re moving the ball with the run game and I’m not panicking if we’re down 7. But that’s just me
