I see you point, but when you come in ranked, the other team tends to step up. Just like UGA tonight.

Kentucky 27 - Fl 14. Seat heating up for McElwain?

If this happened I'm glad it did.

I saved $500 by not driving to Athens this weekend.

I don't think so. They were just better than us, and we got off to a bad start with that first play. And Georgia never sat back on their heels.

We likely still lose, I get that, but I am curious what the game would've been like if we had not given that up

---

When you get beat like that one play makes no freaking difference dude. Had it been a one or two score game then yeah.

The "drive back to Tupelo", stolen from and still missing Jack. Hail State!

Yeah, if that's what happened, so am I. That would be totally classless on Smart.

Yes and no. When it's nut cuttin time, we shit the bed. Pretty much EVERYTIME.

Dan Mullen's recruiting is why we lost tonight.

It's ridiculous to have small WR's like that at this stage of his tenure here. That's piss poor depth chart management. And unexcusable when message board posters see it coming years out but our coach doesn't. At least it's getting fixed- but it still sucks in the meantime.

That limits our passing attack and places stress on the rest of our offense. Two INT's- I believe both led Georgia TD's. Because we could not get the ball to our smurfs.

Classy guy. Smart isn’t a good head coach though. They won’t get those calls next week and TN will get penetration on their OL. I bet TN gets sacks next week as well on that QB. They couldn’t make holes without holding. They aren’t Alabama and Alabama doesn’t have to hold every play. Alabama will stomp UGA. I also predict Eason transfers after this year. It’s easy to run and pass when you get to do what UGA did to our OL. Sometimes on some of those TD plays there were as many as three holds going on. It was bad. I have never seen that much holding in my life not called. Just bad.

We are seeing what well coached upper echelon talent looks like. LSU was poorly coached upper echelon talent. UGA is not poorly coached.

I said in my observations last week that this would be a very tough matchup for us because Georgia is the 2nd best team we will play this year against the run. If you can shut us down in the run game we are in trouble because Fitz is still a very raw passer and we are less talented at WR than most any position on the team. Our WRs literally could get no separation against the GA DBs. Auburn is very good against the run as well but not as good as GA.

We will have to play well and beat them. UF sucks but UK is a good team

It's ok to admit sometimes a team is better than you. It wasn't because we quit, it wasn't lack of effort, etc...sometimes the guy across from you just whips your butt. It happens in every sport. We are gonna have a good season and we are probably a year ahead of schedule so a lot to look forward too. Tonight sucks, lick our wounds and get better.

I still haven't figured out what Top Ten team you coach. Are you Nick Saben!

That one DB manhandled Donald Gray before he got the ball. They showed four pass break ups by that #18 did and the only one he didn’t pass interference on was the interception.

As good as I thought our coaches were last week, I thought they were equally bad tonight.

True. But that's how it is sometimes with officials. That's why you want size and physical players to handle that when it happens. Gray simply does not have the size to do that.

No one is more guilty of this than me; but you're never as good as you think you are after a good win and never as bad as you think you are after a big loss

LOL, a message board hero. Do you coach at all? I don't, not since U12 soccer. I am loosely associated with a very good football program on their respective level though. Your response is about what I expected.

you're right, MKT! Just wait til UGA gets to the SECCG and they'll get shown what "holding" really is!*

Meh, the UGA Defense is legit. Their offense will struggle though because you can’t make your living holding. Refs will start calling it. They play Tennessee next week. You watch. They will lose that game because A) they will be on the road and b) Tennessee will be up for that game. They were up for us like we were for LSU last week. We got calls last week and UGA got calls this week. It makes winning on the road that much more difficult. I’m not sold on UGA’s offense.

Loosely associated with a football program means you don't coach. I'm loosely associated with the MSU football program since I'm a booster. I guess that means you need to shut the F U C K up you loser.

That's definitely true. And, to be realistic, we were predicted to go 6-6. Preseason, we all thought 8-4 or 9-3 would be an amazing finish, and we can still get there. So, all is not lost. Just disappointed by how bad we got beat on those long passing TD's. Also disappointed we didn't make better adjustments on O.

MSU narrative kills me when I know it's going to turn out bad and it's just BS spin.

Gray has pretty good hands, is gritty and tough as hell, but he can't get separation. I'm not sure that the rest matters against the really talented teams with 5 stars.

Tennessee is terrible. Only way uga loses that game is if ugas defense stays at home. I was just saying that it does happen sometimes and I hate when people say(not you) that the team quit, no effort, blah blah blah. They are trying and they didn't quit uga was just better, it happens.
