Because he was a true freshman. He didnt put up eye popping stats at Buford but his tape, he gets good separation, he has good speed, high points the ball well. He is 6'3 205 and can play wr or cb. He will have 3 years. We are obviously going to be thin in the secondary.

Georgia would just sign a high school player if they’re ok with unproven upside. Georgia should not be taking transfers who haven’t produced in college with very few exceptions.
I maintain that the issue is as much an intellectual diversity issue as it is a Bobo-specific problem. We have very limited coaching experience outside of the Saban and Richt coaching trees on staff. That’s an issue on defense too, imo. One of the things than made Monken such a valuable add was that he came from a different “school” of football.

Haynes King didn't get playing time at aTm.

A QB is different than DB (only one QB gets meaningful snaps), and A&M is way better than Colorado. Colorado was horrible this year.
There’s blame to go around, but five straight three and outs through the middle of the game with the chance to knock OM out was brutal and put the defense in a horrible spot.
Is the complaint here that the refs should have ignored the rules to allow for a smoother finish?

Kyle Carpenter 6'2 205 CB/WR went to Buford. This is a guy we could reach out to. Went to Colorado. Could end up playing in the secondary.

Zero action on the season at Colorado? Can’t see why he’d be a compelling take.
I outright refuse to believe that our receivers are somehow so deficient that they can’t get open against OM, especially because they did so effectively just a few months ago.

5 straight three and outs with a chance to extend a 21-12 lead is what let Ole Miss back into the game.

This. If Georgia takes a 28-12 lead either right before the half or scores on any of the 2-3 drives after the half, the outcome is likely never in doubt.

The same thing happened against Texas basically, but they weren’t good enough on offense to punish Georgia for going into an offensive shell for the middle half of the game.

Coaches talk about the “middle 8” a lot now, where the 4 mins before and after the half can have an outsized impact on the game. Georgia had several opportunities for a kill shot in that time frame after the fumble return, and responded by going 3 and out over and over again.

We need an elite edge rusher. The banking on development days aren't over but we can't wait for a player to maybe turn into a star if he doesn't transfer by then.

I’m also not aware of any real strong feelings that our young edge rushers are on the verge of stardom. Basically all of our recent top draft picks at that position were making an impact as freshmen.
There would be no way to run the clock down if you score a touchdown, run or pass. I’m not sure what you mean.

I could understand and agree with wanting a higher percentage throw (ie kick it out wide to branch or a jet sweep to bell.
I don’t hate throwing on 3rd. You have to try to win.

The second down call/execution is another matter.

How is it possible to have a miscommunication of that magnitude in this scenario?

I don’t know. Apparently there was a specific look from OM where they would run a play, but it wasn’t there. Maybe the center (very inexperienced) misheard a check or something.

Going for ur in fourth on Georgia’s own side of the field was dumb as well

Per the postgame interview, it seems that was a mistake by the center. The plan was to go for the offsides penalty or take the delay.

Any early look at the portal shows some promising options at WR and DB. Those are “good” positions to be portal reliant on. I also think UGA could end up paying Branch to stay if he doesn’t have a clear Rd1 grade.

We desperately need a high end edge rusher and could also upgrade at interior DL.

I expect we’ll end up with a nationally competitive roster but don’t think we’ll ever replicate the “old” days on OL/DL.
Todd Monken’s seat is a little unstable in Baltimore. I’m just saying it’s worth a call to see how he’s doing.
quote:

The offense dropped off significantly when Drew Bobo went out. We were averaging well over 400 yards a game before he got hurt. Last 3 games we're averaging around 290. Defense miss Gabe Harris.

No single player should make that much difference on a well coached college offensive football team. Even the QB.
How could that possibly be a defensible play call
We have gone 3 and out 5 straight times with the exception of a fake punt. You simply can’t win that way

How are people ignoring that this isn't a new concept with the playoff or the national championship for that matter?

It is new that one team has a much longer layoff period than their opponent.
