re: What did JJ do that was so bad in the 1st half?

Series when JJ almost got sacked and flipped the ball to ware for 9 yards, the running game couldnt get 1 yard on 2nd or 3rd down IIRC

---

The frustrating thing about this is it came at a point in the first half where it felt the tide was changing. I though that play could have gotten the offenses sea legs shake the bad start off and then we cant even get a first down on two straight runs....
With that said JJ did not have a good half...he ran the option well in the second and we barely tried to throw and we won 45-10

Play selection was as frustrating as anything.

Agreed. I wished we would have rolled him out of the pocket and got him on the run. Their defense was playing really well too let's not forget

Took the words out of my mouth. Play calling was horrible. It was even worse than the qb play in the first half which was also pathetic.

jordan has one read, one read. and if it's not there he locks up, he missed the tight end down the seams on a number of plays, but whatever.

he was throwing adrenalin balls early in the game, no touch, ask DP if he liked that ball that blistered his hands.

les plays him because he doesn't turn the ball over, i don't understand why it's so hard for the fans to figure out. look at the field position, if they're within their 20, jj's in the game because of his ability to run or pass, and when he passes, it's low percentage for a pick. he hummed that ball past rueban and it should have been picked, but that's on UGA.

les can do what he wants, I don't agree with it as far as the way it treats jl as a person, but this isn't kindergarten and everyone gets a nap and a sticker. "It's not intramural brother!"
i was just surprised that he wasn't willing to try something else at all. clearly the offense wasn't working, and that's because they were one dimensional, jj couldn't throw, so UGA didn't have to defend it.

. His best play in the game was an ill-advised flip while in the process of being sacked (because he held the ball too long

---

Holding the ball to long is one of his faults but on that play he was rushed from the get go.

run or pass blocking, the oline did not show up in first half.

Lee would have had no more success with that blocking than JJ

Well this coaching staff sure as hell was quick to pull JL and forget about him at the first hint of having a bad game, even though he was 8-0...doesn't matter because I think I could QB this team to a MNC, the thought process of these coaches is just puzzling to me

Cannot tell me with a straight face that JL performing the exact same way would not have been benched for JJ. You know it isn't true

The blocking wasn't so bad in the beginning of the game, JJ throwing the ball was terrible. Once georgia saw this then they sold out for the run and the Oline could not adjust until halftime.

first pass to randle. He was open behind the defense had to come back for it cause it was underthrown.

over threw sheppard at the 30 yard line should have been intercepted.

Over threw another receiver around the 20-30 yard line when the ball actually went through a defenders hands.

---

Three passes where he was a little off.

quote:

---

no first downs and only 12 offensive yards. Its hard to run when the defense is selling out for the run cause they know your QB wouldn't be able to complete a pass if everyone on the defense had on blinders and couldn't see.

---

The defense went all out in the first half. It's also hard to throw the ball when you have a defender on your back Everytime you are throwing.

What happened in the second half? Did they stop stacking the line due to JJ's first half awesomeness? No, the oline woke up.

quote:

---

he was definitely off...but the o-line was off big time. we couldn't run the ball at all either

---

Yes, he was and our RB's averaged 2 yds a carry in the 1st half, but some have to blame everything on the QB.
