It will work in the SEC. Our three and few four stars at times looked like all those four and five stars lined up against them. Give credit to the O LIne. Best they have played all season. I think our offense grew up tonight and if I was a Bear, Tiger or Tiger fan I would be worried. Not saying we win but we will be in each of these last three games. Also who would have thought GA only rushing for 8 yards. When is the last time that happened?
Agree with you on the offense. I think it continues to progress each week.....as for the Bears - I'm afraid our depleted secondary may get bombarded. They won't try to establish run like Uga did early on. They'll probably be slinging deep early and often. But as I've learned through the years- you just never know with that game.
Well I figure our offense will score but score on long time consuming drives. Ole Miss will not break 30 in points. I think we used up 8 minutes in the first drive of the game tonight. Now ole miss defense sucks and we might run up and down the field on them. Chances are we'll eat up clock. I heard this same shit about Ole MIss offense last season and our defense shut them down.Quote:

We are still trying to figure out what we are doing on offense, and it will eventually stall in a game. Maybe not in the Eggbowl but in other games. To win, we have to get turnovers and turn them into points. I like the home team to win next week.
Fair enough assessment. Like I said - never know what will happen in that game. Especially in 2020 !
I don't know if we've totally figured it out and turned the corner but it's hard to not be excited with the play yesterday.
Jack it has been 100 years since a Georgia offense has been held to less than 10 yards rushing.Quote:

Folks tend to get too high or get too low with our team, lets prove something for 3-4 games before we really knowanything.
Did Ga adjust or did our guys just get tired? Honest question.Quote:

Maybe I'm just one of those "sorry ass fans" but I prefer reality and it's going to take more than a game against a flat UGA to convince me.... Nice QB play and ball control is a start - but it's only a startQuote:

They were still getting three to four yards. Hell you can march down field with that and they did. GA really never really stopped state. State stopped themselves with mistakes. Ole Miss is not going to have the LB's or Defense as GA.Quote:

You can drive the field like that but you've got to be perfect, so one incompletion or one penalty and you're essentially done. So yes we stopped ourselves but I think that's kind of the point of that particular scheme. Another thing I noticed in the first half is that our RBs were throwing some grown man blocks when UGA brought pressure up the middle. I didn't see as much of that in the second half. It may have been there and I missed it, but what I did see on several occasions is our RBs step up to block but there was no one there to block, rather the pressure came from the edge. I don't know if this was an adjustment by GA or if our o-line just did a better job with it in the first half.Quote:

In full disclosure, I started the second half 4 bourbons deep so maybe I just made all of this up.
lol ... totally understand. But believe me they played a lot of defense that didn't drop 8 ... it was WAY more than just 2 plays. Jack's right about the LB's playing a little deeper than other teams - I saw that and wondered why but if you noticed it also seemed like we tended to keep a RB back there to help with blocking more so this game than othersQuote:
