Georgia away games

[McDawg]

TCU vertical passing vs. UGa secondary will be fascinating. TCU receivers didn't get much separation on Michigan DBs and won't on the Dawgs, and I expect UGa is better limiting yards after catch. Frogs have the confidence to take shots, and Max doesn't force many balls into bad coverages, so expecting more 50-50 balls and back-shoulder throws than usual. TCU will need to win a bunch of those battles with no more than 1 INT to have a chance. But I'm not sold that Max will have time to throw--the UGa pass rush may be a notch down from last season but I expect heavy pressure early. Max will need to make some plays with his feet to give the vertical passing game a chance.

On the other side, I'm interested to see if Gillespie comes up with anything to limit Bowers up the seam. Nightmares about that guy.

Our pass rush doesn’t create a lot of sacks per se, but is designed more to affect the QB and create timing issues. Not sure how that will play out w a guy like Duggan; he has better athletic abilities than a lot of the QB’s we faced this year. We were able to get after Hendon Hooker (Tennessee-six sacks)pretty good because we built a lead and forced them to pass more than they wanted. In order to do that against TCU, we’d have to shut down your run game and that is the challenge. 88 Jalin Carter needs to create issues for your OL.
Speaking of TCU OLine, I saw an interview with one of your guards today. Big red headed kid that looked and talked like a 38 year wildcatter off a west Texas oil rig; I liked him immensely.
Bowers is a threat anytime he touches the ball. He’s pretty fast for a “Californian” and he has some amazing hands.
Two key elements for UGA is
1) Getting to Duggan and limiting his runs & throws. I think he’s the key to TCUs success.
2) Zone or man on you WR’s ?? We switch up a good bit there. If Ringo is having a good day, expect a lot of man and that is a positive for UGA DB’s I think.
All in all, our DB’s will only be as good as the DL plays.

I ran into one of the UGA big cigar alums in a casino this week. He told me TCU was basically this year’s Cincinnati.

He did give me a nice little pat on the head, though.

Arrogant scheiss.

It's only been two years since Cincy had UGa down 11 in the 4th quarter of a Peach Bowl. Good thing the Dawgs' kicker was better that day from 50+ than Ohio State's was last weekend.

Same kicker who missed two Saturday. Thankfully hit the last one.

1. The secondary is more talented this year than last year, but very inexperienced (new freshman starters at S and CB). The biggest difference though from last year to this year has been the drop off of the pass rush. Last year, most players in our front 7 were pass rush threats. This year, it's been Jalen Carter or bust for the most part. I will say our DB's (outside of Christopher Smith) have consistently struggled to play the ball in the air. So desperate or confident teams have been able to burn us despite throwing into coverage.

2. Missouri had a very aggressive gameplan blitzing and attacking gaps. The offense wasn't able to execute well enough (particularly in the passing game) to take advantage of the 1on1 opportunities that were there. Kentucky was a bad weather game coaches knew Kentucky wasn't scoring more than 10 without scoring defensive or special teams touchdowns. Kirby also has trend of hitting cruise control on offense playing against his coaching friends. For the year, the offense has relied heavily on efficiency, not creating many explosive plays. The real Achilles' heel has been turnovers: lost turnover battle in 5 of 14 games, 2 or more turnovers in 5 of 14 games. Stetson plays QB with an aggressive gunslinger confidence which can lead to some jaw dropping poor decisions.

3. 2021 was better overall IMO. At the beginning of the year, I had hope that the offense would take a step into elite status which would've propelled this year's squad ahead of last year's. But injuries at receiver and overall inconsistency has kept the unit at just "very good". So I'll take last year's group with an elite, all-time defense even if the offense held it back at times.

losing 5 first round picks and 2 third round picks would slow down most defenses though

Erry fanbase/alumi has em.

Ich verstehe sehr gut.

 

[hiphopfroggy]

I’m starting to like you man.
But enough of bashing each other’s schedules.

Tell me about this years TCU team.

Duggan has our massive respect.
He’s a warrior. But I don’t know much more about the Frogs. I’ll listen.

There is really not much to know. We are a small and slow team from the MWC that got lucky to be in a terrible conference. Y'all have nothing to worry about just enjoy your title.

I'll be there in 48 hours. Ski trip to Big Sky.

Then you need to know that Wes, who passed a couple years ago, put that German substitution in for the wrong word. F vs S...

Appreciate that. We like to think we learned how to not act from the Gumps.

Actually met some very fine people in Valdosta.

I live on the extreme opposite end of the state from Valdosta. Valdosta is like another planet compared to the north Georgia mountains.
But dang if there isn’t some incredible HS football down there.

Hiked about 200 miles of the Appalachian from the Smokies and Blue Ridge down into north Georgia. Beautiful country.

 

[McDawg]

I’ll be crossing the AT a little later today up near Hiawassee. And yes, it’s an amazing place.

I spent a lot of time at the Benning school for boys. Really enjoyed Columbus and the other nearby towns. Northern Georgia was super beautiful. Georgians talk like my cousins in rural Texas. It was like being back home. Really enjoyed the area. Its a darn shame you all will have to lose this game.
