Gerry says the UGA LB’s are athletic enough to shut down all the perimeter stuff that Sark likes to run early and their interior DL can wreck our outside zone. Plays are there to be had down the field with our WR’s vs their DB’s but those take time to develop and Quinn needs to see them and not be focused on the pass rush. Seems like pass protection for Quinn is the most important matchup in this game and we have to improve bigly over the performance in Austin. Yeah we all watched round 1 earlier this season- that’s not really genius level analysis so much as repeating what happened

The date of this year's SEC championship game is December 7th. looking for additional ones - we lost the sugar bowl to vt after the 95 season in last year of swc. lost the sugar bowl to washington last year in last year of big 12. we are one season off from playing the back to back national champs wearing red in the conference champ game. corn won it in 94 and 95 and we beat them in 96. uga won in 21 and 22 so one year off. we did wear orange in the 1996 big 12 game. wearing orange this week. would be nice if 1996 ricky could dress out. this one is a bit weak but in 1996, played in an NFL dome for a team competing in what would become an nfc south division team in division with the panthers, falcons, and saints. playing this one in an NFL dome of an nfc south team.

December 2, 20241 yr Really hope the OL and DL are hitting the weight room. I'd like to see this happen if they do.. and rush.

This is the correct analysis. Games like this are won by leaders who rise to the occasion. If we win, it's going to be because Quinn, Gunnar Helm, and the other guys who were around two seasons ago step the fuck up.

We’ll see. If we fix the protection issues, which were largely communication issues, that alone drastically changes our performance on offense. Not turning the ball over in our territory would certainly help as well. Given the trends, I'm a little less confident that we can do that.
December 2, 20241 yr 1 minute ago, Pig Bellmont said: Given how poorly they did against Haynes King we should give serious thought to giving Arch significant minutes Yeah, I don’t think it’s part of the Manning Plan for Arch to see him be a wildcat QB running into the line 24 times in a game. But definitely need to work him in more and give him some throw options as well so it’s not obvious when he comes in what’s going to happen. I also have to think our OL will hold up better in pass pro than they did last time. It really can’t get much worse, and if it improves, at least we won’t be giving them all the short fields from sack fumbles.

We’ll see. Yeah I was being facetious, but that game was really interesting and unique for a few reasons: 1. Penalties that were called, when they were called and when they were not. The UK game had some bad calls. But that game was an outlier of really bad officiating. 2. At the time, we trusted nobody to run the ball between tackles. I think we’ve figured out something there. 3. Both QE and Arch will be looking to move up in the pocket and find running lanes if necessary instead of self sacking by trying to Romo spin out of the back of the pocket. And yes, i expect Arch to get leverage minutes as well.

December 2, 20241 yr We’ve still yet to see the Georgia defensive front play as well as they did against us. It did not make sense at the time how they played so much better against us than they had showed and still doesn’t looking at the rest of their season. It seemed like they knew our plays. Then there was a report of a Georgia player saying after the game that they knew what we were running. I was never able to find that so not sure if it’s true or not. It seemed at the time that we must have been tipping somehow. But then the reports of un-encrypted headsets came out so who knows. This is all speculation of course, but if they did know our plays somehow this should be a completely different game.

December 2, 20241 yr Georgia also had a bad case of the dropsies on both offense and defense, so they have some return to the average bump comming their way.

December 2, 20241 yr Our OL/DL have both shown major improvements since the last time we played. Add in the running game resurgence and I think we see a very different game.

Ewers offers nothing in this respect but Manning is a different story.

December 2, 20241 yr Sark needs to work the refs like Smart does... well, not that hard, but more than he usually does. It's the SEC way, it seems. He also needs to make a point, in the pre-game meeting with refs, of Smart's habit of coming way out onto the field to argue. In the GT game, he was obnoxious as hell. I had a hard time believing he wasn't at least warned, and if I was that sideline official I think I'da told him the next time he came 10 or 15 yards out, yapping, it'd cost his team fifteen yards.

December 2, 20241 yr Was re-watching the first game today and leaking the running back out of the backfield on the reverse flea flicker was an absolutely DIABOLICAL wrinkle from Sark and it's a different game if Wisner catches that ball. Also I've come out of it with a bit of a rosier outlook. I think mistakes just started to compound and things started spiraling for Texas and THEN Georgia smelled blood and pounced. Protect the ball, establish the run and use the middle of the field better than we did the first time around and we're going to win the game.
December 2, 20241 yr Georgia's offense wasn't even that good that game iirc. They had one, back breaking stupid long drive, after Texas got it to 23-15 and that was the end of it. Other than that it was a bunch of FG's and short fields. Quinn or a RB will probably turn the ball over once, just survive it and move on.
