Chubb with 18 for 25 and Sony 14 for 98. Yet we kept going with Chubb in the wilddawg and in the second half and OT. We outsmarted ourselves in the second half instead of just going with what was working. Really sour note for both Chubb and Michel to leave on, especially Michel. There's no more helpless feeling than knowing you can handle business but are stuck on the sidelines. I don't know if it was a case of loyalty on the part of Chaney giving Chubb those carries or just pure incompetence, but it cost us bigly.

That said, super proud of these kids and this staff. One hell of a season and one hell of a game that we'll never forget. And the good news? There's more of this to come. In Kirby we trust! I've never seen Nick Saban that nervous during a game. He knows what he lost when Kirby came to UGA. I think he's somewhat shocked he actually won this game.

I was very unhappy that we left whatever momentum we had before halftime in the locker room with that playcalling.

But Fromm looked uncharacteristic and missed easy throws and we gave a true freshman in Tua way too much respect and cushion playing not to lose.

Very proud of our players but disappointed in our second half game planning

To be clear, I pin the loss exclusively on the offense. That said, I don't understand how you don't blitz the living frick out of a freshman QB and leave man coverage on the receivers. We rattled the fricking Heisman winning QB by bringing heat and yet we sit back and let a freshman QB just sit in the pocket to scan the field against a 4 man rush? Makes little sense.
