re: What’s your thoughts/take aways from today?

- Burrow makes good decisions. That includes pre-snap. The RPO and trust in him should continue and increase. The RPO pass I have yet to see, WRs step up I think we will.

When LSU ran RPO, they killed UGA. Burrow runs it great and you can't tell if he has the ball or the RB. Our RBs gashed them out of that and that is the reason Burrow broke a 58-yarder on them in the 4th. They had to pause every time and didn't know what was coming. We have to continue to use this heavily.

Once we wore them down, then pitchouts with CEH worked in the running game. But early, it was the north-south running out of the RPO that worked.

Our running game success is the biggest surprise for me this year. We are running very successfully against good defenses.

- our secondary is good, really good. They absolutely smothered Georgia’s WRs all game. Kary Vincent and Kristian Fulton are getting better every game and played their asses off tonight.

---

completely agree, but Battle gets totally lost at times.

Red zone offense has got to improve. This game should have been worse than it was.

yes it does and it's hard to understand why. As happy as I have been with the playcalling overall I think it leaves something to be desired in the redzone. I know they were 8-8 in the redzone but we should be getting more TD's. it looks like they become very careful down there and want to be sure they get points. But I think sometime it hurts them by not pushing the envelope down there.

had a friend tell me yesterday that for being so big, he plays small. I think part of it was the guy that guarding him but I want to keep a eye on this and see if it is a legit comment.

Little dude is a fire plug and tough as nails but his best asset is his vision as well as Brossette they both do a great job of running to daylight.

I cannot say enough about how this OL has stepped up. I think the shuffling because of injuries long term will be a blessing. It gave a lot of experience to the young guys against top notch opponents that they may not have gotten. As a result we have a 2 deep line that is battle tested in the heat of battle and not just in mop up time.

Our receivers still need to improve. several times they quit on routes on what could have been plays, a few miss reads on their part also but they are improving and we all know they must get Chase and Marshall on the field.

Joe Burrow is the QB we have all been waiting for. He is tough as nails and isn't scared of the moment. As the offense evolves he will also.

last but not least Orgeron and staff completely outcoached Georgia no if and or buts. Kirby got his arse handed to him.

Burrow has more than moxie.

Out of 275 yards rushing, 192 were on zone reads. The guy has a great football IQ.

- why weren’t we letting my time more time bleed of the clock early/mid 4th quarter tonight? We were up like 26-9 and snapping the ball with like 15-20 seconds left on the play clock.

---

This was the result of a whole different mindset. We were not playing not to lose. We were playing to dominate and destroy them. CEO said at halftime that he wanted to keep the pressure on UGA and I think that we did an excellent job doing that.

quote:

---

Even Kirby Smart mentioned how Burrow continually made the right read/checked into the right plays for LSU.

JOE KNOWS football.

---

We've finally evolved from the mindset of telling the QB 'you run the play called' (yes, under Les) to using the QB as the 'on-field OC'.

It took Burrow, a QB that not only can but excels at that, AND some evolution by E... and CEO.

Canada put alot on Etling, it scared CEO (and E). I THINK we've jumped the shark on that. It was holding us back earlier this year; improved, but still not fully utilizing what was on the field. I THINK we're past that now. The proof is in the pudding of an efficient and productive offense against #2 last night.

I imagine what happened is that CEO & E decided that to beat UGA we were going to have to 'be less risk adverse', and magically it makes for a good offense. Hopefully, lesson learned.

Joe Burrow. Moxie. He’s got it.

I said the exact same thing and said it right before that long completion to Jefferson in the 4th quarter. My friend was calling for Brennan and I turned around and told him Burrow had moxie and would make a big play. Then BOOM.

Then I continued to taunt him right up to the time Burrow ripped off that long run in the next series.

I said the same thing.

Great points. 6-1 feels really good but don’t mean shite if we don’t take care of Miss St.

CEH nasty stiff arm

I know there are still a lot of people not sold on O but I defy anyone to point to aspects of this team that indicate anything other than a very well coached team. No stupid penalties, improvement week to week, effective adjustments before and during game, playing with emotion, great ST, clock management, TO management This post was edited on 10/14 at 6:09 am

agree 100%

Good posts in here. Just imagine who we can trample if:

WR's improve route mechanics and catch all passes. Like if the ball is within 4 feet of me I am catching it or drawing a flag because it is my job.

DB's cover tighter and know when the ball is coming. We got beat too many times, receivers wide open, not even counting the flea flicker.

D makes the first contact tackles they often miss. You can't arm tackle or expect to decleat by hitting high against the rest of our schedule.

Our intensity on D yesterday made up for missed tackles but a lot of UGA gains would have been losses if they made tackles that were missed.

TV commentators called some of burrows passes off target, but what I saw were passes where the receiver was supposed to be, and the receiver was not there.

I love the passes to Moreau and Carter. Both these dudes are animals and the TE and FB passes (and runs) are underused.

For the most part the above criticisms are of fundementals. Focus this week on fundamentals both sides of the ball. Destroy Miss State.
