I do hope Kirby gets more aggressive there and stops settling for FGs because I think he had the exact mindset as presented in the OP.
That sounds good in principle, but the offense still has to validate the aggressive decision making. If Coley can't scheme/design/implement/call good plays, then being aggressive ends up with zero points and putting the defense on the field in worse position.

Agreed. Aggressive cost us the South Carolina game. Kirby went for 4th and 7 in Carolina territory. We didnt make it. Carolina drove 20 yards and hit a bomb field goal. At the end of regulation, we were tied. Pinning Carolina just a few yards further back would have been the difference in the game.

Kirby opted to not lock long but makable field goals with hot rod twice. If you have the best kicker in the nation, let him kick.

Considering how atrocious our offense was, that mentality probably helped us win the majority of our games. But I do hope we become more aggressive, yes.
What does the word atrocious mean where you are from?

I don't think that was a good day for hot rod. He had 1 blocked and missed on another. We weren't in great field position (just outside the 40). Punting would have won the game. I don't have a doubt in my mind.
But as was said, being aggressive doesnt automatically make you right. It is easy for me to complain in hindsight that we should have punted. That South Carolina game was one where 1000 things went right for their win.

Georgia averaged 23.5 points per SEC game this season. In 2019, that is atrocious.

Where did you find this stat? Did you have a place to look it up, or did you add and then divide on your own?
I am not disputing what you said, I am just curious if there is a place where we can go to make comparisons with other teams, without having to do all the work.

cfbstats.com will do that for you. Two different places. Under the team page look at scoring offense > split stats. Under the conference page look at scoring offense > vs conference.

Is being #11 in D1 for average margin of victory atrocious ?

Did it quickly on a spreadsheet.

The offense averaging 23.5 points in SEC play is atrocious. This thread isn't about the defense.

It was middle of the pack for the conference.
That is mediocre at worst. Lol

Georgia has way, way, way too much talent to be middle of the pack.

Only the biggest. Like the one against Bama that would’ve put away the National Championship. Or the chip shot against South Carolina this year.

2019 was lacking for upperclassmen at wide receiver.
But I agree. We should have been able to run the ball better.

By stating this are you implying that the play of the defense and the size of the lead have no affect on average offensive scoring?

It does. However, regardless of the circumstances, being #6 in the country in red zone FGs is a huge, huge problem. It means you can't finish in the red zone.
The A&M game is a great example. There was no reason whatsoever for that to be a nail biter late. It should have been over 10 minutes into the 1st quarter.

Agree, but tread lightly. You are about to cause a temper tantrum by a couple of guys.

I think he understands that, but they tend to go hand in hand. The offense affects the defense and vice versa.
The key is not necessarily how many points you score as much as the spread of the victory.
I mean, is it good to have an offense that scores 90 points a game, if it means you have a defense that allows 95 points a game?
Scoring is exciting and sexy, but not necessarily the very best thing for a team.
Just my preference, but I want a great defense with an offense that is difficult to stop. One that can strike quickly if need be, but also one that can grind it out if needed, too.
