So the offense is terrible?

I wouldn't of thought that our offense was close to last year
quote:
The Bulldogs (6-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) entered their second open date of the season averaging a very respectable 471.3 total yards, 236.9 rushing yards, 234.4 passing yards and 36.0 points per game. They rank 14th nationally in rushing offense, 20th in total offense and 24th in scoring.
quote:
Georgia is very close to its offensive numbers from last year, when it averaged 464.9 yards and 37.9 points a contest.
quote:
"I'm very pleased," Smart said. "I thought we were extremely patient on offense in tough conditions. We've got more explosive plays than we had this time last year, when we had three wide receivers who are now in the NFL. That's taking today out of it, because I don't know how many explosive plays we had, but coming into this game, we had more explosives than we had last year.

currently, yes. Very much so.

showing what we average is a bit misleading because it includes us beating up on vandy, arkansas state, and murray state. The last 4 games we've played our offense has looked decent in 1 (UT), pretty mediocre in 1 (ND), and downright pathetic in 2, which also happen to be our last 2.
You can point to stats all you like but watching the product on the field is pretty scary at the moment considering our upcomign schedule. The UF game is going to make or break our season from here on out IMO. If we win we're winning the east and who knows what can happen in the SECCG. If we lose because our offense hasn't changed a bit we'll probably lose 2 more after that.

You do realize that we racked up 468 yards of offense, while a QB threw for 295 (but we never throw the ball) and our starting RB put up 120 on the ground....
Pump the breaks. 4-0 turnover ratio lost the game and it wasn't because we were pathetic all game. Imagine that, our starting D only let up 10 points, we gave the ball away 4 times and we still racked up almost 500 yards.
Bitch that we lost, but it wasn't because we were pathetic

right. We threw 3 interceptions, one for 7 points, and fumbled while we had good field position.

stats are irrelevant, the scoreboard is all that matters and after 58 minutes of regulation we had scored 10 points. We scored 0 total points in 2 overtime periods. I would call that pretty pathetic.

I agree, I just didn't think the offense was close to last season and better than 2017.

We have scored 50 points per game vs cupcakes yet against Notre dame, South Carolina and Kentucky, we have averaged roughly 21ppg.

Our offense last year was capable of rattling off several explosive plays per game and didn't totally disappear for 2 1/2 games in the regular season. There's a blue print now; stack the box, press the receivers, and you'll stall out Georgia's offense.

Ya I 'd love to see these stats minus Murry and Ak St. I promise it isnt close to last year.

You really want the stats? Back out the non-power 5 teams from each year, you have the below:
Total Rush Yards: 2018 - 1039 / 2019 - 1132
Total Pass Yards: 2018 - 1202 / 2019 - 961
Total Offensive Yards: 2018 - 2241 / 2019 - 2093
Total Rushing Attempts: 2018 - 206 / 2019 - 195
Yards Per Carry: 2018 - 5 / 2019 - 5.8
Total Passing Attempts: 2018 - 131 / 2019 - 142
Total Passing Completions: 2018 - 83 / 2019 - 96
Pass Completion Percentage: 2018 - 63% / 2019 - 68%
Stack up pretty evenly if you ask me. Sure, we don't pass the 'eye test' and look as sexy as we expected to be. But this team was a quarter away from the CFP last year, with the same statistical summary that we have today...with less experience and musical chairs at several positions because of injuries.
Do I think we still have meat on the bones? Absolutely, I think we've left a lot of points on the board. But we have, as Kirby put it, stubbed our toes so many times. Better play calling here or there, better execution more consistently...and guess what? We'd be outpacing last year and we wouldn't have a loss.
But it's football...you have to play the games and execute well enough to win.

Beat me to it.

So less passing and less overall yards.
got it.
got it.

Which is what we were all expecting prior to losing Holloman. But then we decided to go all in and lose our entire receiving corps from a year ago and promptly only fall 6% behind last years total production.
Like I said, it's not our ability to get yards that is the problem. It's finishing drives, for whatever reason anyone on this board wants to claim...playcalling, execution, apathy, etc. etc. etc.
They all have to get better. But they aren't terrible.

This South Carolina crap has been overplayed. We had 4 TO. That’s it, no more analysis needed. We played KY in a monsoon. When UGA beats UF by 14+, everyone gonna find something else to fret over.

So for a team that doesn't have a well balanced offense, that is #20 in the country, and only get garbage yards....interesting that only 2 games have we rushed for more yards than passing...and one of those was in a monsoon that we won 21-0

There is truth there, but it's also reminiscent of Marion Barry's famous quote about how safe DC was when he was mayor: “If you take out the killings, Washington actually has a very very low crime rate.” Those toe stubs matter quite a bit, unfortunately.

Now there's a billboard: Ladies and Gentlemen: Your 2019 Georgia Bulldogs - They Aren't Terrible.
It's certainly a unique pitch to make to recruits, and one of the more novel ways to lay claim to being an elite program.

There are cupcakes every year, so we can take that out of the equation. It's the eye test that we're failing right now.
I'm seeing less hurry up this year, and less moving of the pocket. I've also seen a bit more inside running and less edge/outside running (until UK game), which was the bread and butter last year. Less of the passing is over the middle and we seem to be utilizing the TE even less this year than last.
The blocking schemes are similar: zone and iso almost exclusively. The outside zone seems to work very well with a Swift because you move the defenders more and his vision & cutback ability help him exploit the seams that movement creates. I'd like to see more traps for the inside runs which would better set up quick play-action over the middle, but we didn't see much of that last year either.
Overall, there is also a bit less flexibility in the scheme. It could be a result of inexperience either from the coordinator or the receivers, but it's there.
Question, though. Is last year's team really the goal? With a 3rd year starter at QB and a veteran line, I think this year's team should be a little better. Instead it's a little worse. Gotta admit that's a dissapointment.

Strangely enough, Smart said the defense was terrible after watching film.

You know who used to emphasize YPG? Donnan. Because he couldn’t score points.
Posted on 10/22/19 at 7:04 pm to HinesvilleThrill
I distinctly remember some fairly potent offenses in Donnan's days. I also remember our defense was rarely all that great. Or was that Goff?
