    I do think UGA started jumping routes at that point. I think Kirby just told the defense to start jumping routes in hopes that it would create some hesitation & they could get to the QB.

    I remember commenting on how UGA was jumping routes. Wouldn't hurt if we started to throw in some pump fakes early in the game to create some fear in the defense

    Depth.

    WR get slower as they get tired. Slower means not as much separation or YAC. That changes a 2nd and 5 to 2nd and 7: 3rd and 2 to 3rd and 5. It's more time needed to get open.

    Combine that with UGA taking away the underneath and forcing deeper routes, which means more running.

    It's why Leach likes to have 8-12 game ready WR.
