Question for the X's and O's guys.

I've blocked most of the game from my memory and have avoided watching any lowlights. My question is why in the world did Fromm throw 50+ passes? I can't remember seeing that from a Georgia quarterback since Zeier's days.

Going to man coverage in the secondary allowed SC to stack the box. They did a very good job of shutting down the run an forced Fromm to beat them with his arm.

Because our “heaviest line in football” wasn’t able to get push or combo block SC effectively.

Kinlaw straight up kicked Cade Mays’ arse up one side and down the other. USC also tackled extremely well in the open field, which had been a weakness of theirs all year. Combine that with the fact that Fromm had his worst performance since LSU and USC stacked the box against us, our offense just turned into a dumpster fire. The good news is that Fromm seems like he has 1 stinker every year, so hopefully if other teams try this blue print then he can pick them apart.

what confused me was why any time we took a deep shot it was a go route hugging the sideline. I didn't see one post pattern or really anythign with anything more involved than just running straight. I only noticed 1 or 2 back shoulders all day. Hardly any crossing routes and I don't recall a single slant all day. It was really befuddling why we called the plays we did. And on the times we did run, it was always straight up the center per usual. A high school DC could scheme for our offense.

I have yet to look at a single game this year and say “Hey, we came out with a great offensive gameplan”. Coley is Schottenhiemer with better talent.

can't believe I'm saying it but I miss chaney. He can't adjust to save his life but at least you knew the first half would be pretty good.

I don’t think Jake is very comfortable throwing over the middle. Everything is to the sideline, but it’s not like there aren’t routes over the middle.
ETA: that’s been the case his entire career

He was money over the middle for 2 straight seasons with Nauta as a reliable target who would pull the ball in with some muscle.
Our TE play this year has been woeful, and Woerner has been a liability.

I'm perplexed we don't use the TE more. Granted we don't have a 5* stud there, but our coaches aren't idiots. They turn on the game film and watch Missouri, Florida, bama with irv smith, Sc with hurst, ND game this year, etc and see time and time again that a TE simply running seam routes down the middle causes big matchup problems. It's caused US big problems repeatedly. You'd think that after watching the film and seeing that we might incorporate it a bit but nope.

It's my opinion that Fromm is scared to let it fly over the middle because an overthrow is usually a turnover. Overthrows along the sidelines usually go harmlessly out of bounds.

We didn't get the ball to receivers in a way that allowed space to move - curls and outs as always.
SC forced us to pass then kept everything in front, which is what everyone will do moving forward. Slants, seams, and the TE must become a bigger part of the gameplan.
ETA:
Safeties played closer to the LOS as well. We had some success with PA, but never took the top off.

it's disheartening watching teams like bama and lsu that are typically known for plodding, archaic offenses (like ours) open things up and just score left and right. I watched the lsu/uf game saturday and it was a joy watching LSU's offense hit open receivers that had space to move.

same problem as stated above. I don't think Fromm is very comfortable throwing that ball, and he ultimately has to pull the trigger on it.

Lol when was this?
I can maybe think of him hitting Nauta on a seam once. Last year against UF right before the half

I think it’s because CKS put pressure on the offense to be more explosive. Wasn’t 1 in 8 plays needs to be explosive a thing this last week? That’s not Fromms strength.
He was pressing and that messed him up.

A slant can be an explosive play with good execution. So can a screen.
Please don't coddle Fromm. Pressure is part of competition. Saying he can't handle pressure is saying he shouldn't be the QB.

Against Alabama and Florida he was good up the middle. The rest the year was similar to this year, however.
I believe the difference is UGA prepared to vary the passing game against those opponents so Jake was naturally more comfortable. It seems obvious by his play that the coaches are emphasizing ball control and making the safe play.
ETA
That's why I believe this season is far from lost. UGA and Fromm can and have flipped the mindset switch and become more aggressive and explosive. I believe that's what we're in for the rest of this season.

He threw a great ball to Eli Wolfe on one of our earlier possessions on a crossing route on 3rd down that would have converted but it went right through Wolfe's hands.
I think a big part of Saturday's mess was our receivers couldn't get open against tight man coverage. There seemed to be a lot of drop backs where Fromm had good protection but it looked like he was just waiting for someone to get open.

He did but never went back to it.
To clarify, I'm not saying he isn't capable. I'm saying he looks far more comfortable throwing outside. I think he defaults to that.
