Gurley looked pretty average yesterday against N Texas. < 40 yards in the first half and 21 runs for 91 yards int the game. Big pass plays are much more of a concern.

Agreed.

Eugene hasn't had significant play at safety, and his second run support ability is obviously affecting his over the top coverage.

He got caught chasing on both deep passes last night. Granted, Nick Marshall caught everyone by surprise with the accuracy of his deep ball last night.

After taping and reviewing 2 of Georgia's games, then watching their game yesterday, I allowed myself to enjoy some optimism. The first half of our game last night only served to raise expectation, too.

The second half brought me back to reality.

It's never a good thing to have containment issues and get gutted up the middle at the same time. This is not the first time we've seen this. I don't really see where the staff has given themselves anything to work off of game film wise to address personnel concerns.

If the problems were scheme related, I would feel better about it. I guess sometimes we're just going to have to accept that our team is liable to fake FGs from the 13 on 4th and 10 with a 21 pt lead and 6 min left in the third quarter.
