I feel for the younger Georgia fans who this is their first taste of a stunning, unexplainable upset loss.

I was forged in these fires in the Richt years. I already have coping mechanisms :lol:

Interested to watch Brooks Austin’s breakdown, but it looked on TV like there just was not a lot of room to work with when he got the ball.

And Phillips’ numbers were helped tremendously by that one 30+ yard fake end around.

So now we’re on the “never run the quarterback” train? :lol:

This thread is devolving fast.
Everybody’s talking about if he was concussed, was leaving him the right or wrong decision from a football standpoint.

What about ethically? Like, if he had a concussion and Georgia knew it and sent him out there all game anyway…that’s a problem for other reasons, right?

If you don’t get whipped up front, there’s nothing conservative about it.

I would argue we ran our normal offense, the run game just was not there and Gunner had brain damage. If you know how to playcall your way around that, I have 32 NFL teams that would love you to take over as head coach.
You never completely abandon the run when you run the offense we do. I’m more aggravated at the OL getting bullied inside than I am at the playcalling.

And I don’t think the defense is THE reason we lost.

Defense got us behind

Offense kept us behind

I don’t throw this term around lightly, but literally only libtards
Vanderbilt is great for several reasons:

1. It’s Nashville
2. Your fanbase will be in the majority both around town and in stadium
3. The Vandy fans you do encounter are, in my experience, nothing but nice
4. The stadium is small, but a great place to watch a game

The pressure caused Russell to panic a little bit and either not see open receivers or make poor throws.


The most impactful one IMO was the 3rd down sack after the PI no-call. Georgia blitzed Bolden and the TE was running buck naked up the seam for an easy first down and Russell just never saw him. He clearly sensed the pressure and didn’t read the field well there.

If he can get better at that stuff, you have a bona fide Heisman on your hands. Of course, getting better at that stuff is never a given. Kinda the “separates the men from the boys” stuff for QB development.

I appreciate these kind of analyses. Sometimes the trash talking and trolling and goofy hyperbole takes away from discussion on solid matchup games because reality of the game gets skewed and distorted.


For the record, I’m a total fan of participating in both :lol:

I still don’t think Bama is a very physical defense, especially up front. It showed, and I wouldn’t consider them elite, just pretty good. However, I am very pleased to see the physicality in the run game has returned after a multi-year absence. OL is light years ahead of last years.


Yeah, I guess I really should’ve clarified that I meant the two offenses. I was a little disappointed in our tackling yesterday. Not that Bama doesn’t have elite skill guys, they do, but even with that, Kirby teams traditionally tackle MUCH better.

Both OL’s can road grade though.
-Both of these teams are physical as shite. Both teams averaged over 5 ypc against elite defenses, and considering Georgia was down their top two backs, what their OL did in the second half was insanely impressive. Alabama’s offense has improved its physicality SIGNIFICANTLY from last season. Much harder to box them up than it was last year.

-Keelan Russell is really good, but he still has a lot of room to grow, and that showed last night. Several open receivers he missed because he got spooked by pressure and tried to make too many throws off balance. If he can have better composure, he could be scary good.

-Holy shite Alabama dominated field position. Really the only part of the game they did dominate. Bama’s punter would’ve damn near been their MVP if they had won that game. Georgia didn’t get good starting field position the entire night.

-Gunner Stockton is just a dude. He’s not just a feel-good story anymore. He’s playing some of the best QB in the country. Some of the throws he made against tight coverage on had-to-have-it downs were elite work.

-Georgia continues to make a lot of uncharacteristic mistakes in this series. Part of it you may be able to chalk up to playing in their first real tough road environment this season, but good God did they struggle to hold onto the football. Thank God we fell on both fumbles and Gunner grabbed that bad snap. The holding penalties have also got to get cleaned up.

Overall, two of the undisputed best teams in the country. OSU and Texas have talent levels that are too high to count out from winning it all, and Notre Dame and Miami are great, they’re just hard to gauge because their schedules have been so soft to this point. But Georgia and Alabama are (yet again) clear top contenders.

Good game all around, and I’m sure the next one will be as well. :cheers: :UGA:

The ball started moving before it got to the goal line.

Post the stills all you want. Post the animated version and you will clearly see the football moving before it gets to the goal line.

And you have always known it, loser.
The Auburn play was fumble, and you losers know it.

It was always a fumble, and it’s still a fumble.

And it was actually a Georgia TD, but hey, yall keep being delusional
