I threw the data into Claude. What's not accurate?
It's accurate and it was also predictable in advance that the schedule would be unbalanced and to whose advantage. And then, for some reason, a decision was made to use the same schedule for two years in a row.

One more stat. Only 4 teams faced opponents with a losing record both seasons. Ole Miss, TAMU, Mizzou, and Tennessee. 3 out of those 4 made the playoffs one time, and every one of them made it in the year when they had the easier schedule.
TAM----- 2025 --- 30.4% opp win%
OLE ---- 2025 ----37.5%
TEN -----2024 ----39.3%

.402- Texas A&M (45-67)
.393- Ole Miss (44-68)
You left out Mizzou. Their corresponding opponent record was 47 and 65, or win % of 42%.
Some interesting correlations on that list. Of the teams whose opponents had a losing record, 4 out of 6 made the playoffs at least once in the two years (Texas, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Ole Miss). Of the teams whose opponents had .500 or greater record, only 3 out of 10 made the playoffs at least once in two years (Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia).
Also of the teams with winning opponents, 5 of 10 fired their head coach during that 2 year period (MST, AUB, FLO, KEN, LSU). Of the teams with losing opponents, only one of 6 (ARK) fired their head coach. In other words, if you want to get rid of your head coach, Give Mr. Sankey's scheduling team a call.
I agree. He wasn't rattled by the pressure or the crowd. Pretty good runner too. Only drawback is that he has an arm like Hutson Mason, serviceable in college but not ideal for throwing into tight windows.
I understand why they chose to start Curtis though. He has all the physical tools and I thought played pretty well for a first road start at Auburn. I've been way more impressed with Curtis than Tennessee's freshman that On3's been gushing over like the second coming of Nico.

We were running a pretty conservative slip screen to the TE. The blitz was a great call by them and bad for us.
I'm not criticizing the call, or Gunner. He played really well. I"m saying that I think they were able to time the blitz from watching video and picking up tendencies. That should be easy enough to change.
quote:
From the one yard line there's not much risk from jumping the count.
The play started from about the 4 yard line. It was a good tradeoff for Vandy if they had decent odds of timing it right with a fast blitzer and a running start. Guaranteed to blow up a play right at the goal line. But it's obviously something Georgia has to fix because getting immediately hit in the backfield by free runners can cost a game, or a season if your QB goes down.

When the play first happened the guy got there so fast I thought he was offsides. I've never paid attention to Gunner's pre-snap routine or the snap counts, but I specifically went back to watch that one to see how it happened. It's obviously a gamble because that blitzer was committed, but I guess they thought the snap count and clapping motion was predictable enough to make it worthwhile.

Posted by wdhalgren on 10/4/26 at 4:02 pm
On the play where Gunner got sacked on the one yard line (11 minute mark, 2nd quarter), he did his clap predictably. Starting with his hands hanging at arms length, went into a fake clap motion, pause with his hands together waist high, then lowered his hands together, separated and real clap in one smooth motion. That's when the ball was snapped.
The defender who sacked him was standing outside the tackle, 3 yards off the ball with a clear view of Gunner, nobody between him and the LOS and started running before the snap (when Gunner lowered his hands together to start the 2nd clapping motion). He initially angled inward thinking it was a handoff, then veered back towards Gunner when he kept the ball. Despite that initial wrong tack by the blitzer, the pulling guard (Helton) had no chance to cut him off before he got into the backfield; he was crossing the LOS before Helton took a lateral step. If that's the way Gunner often does it, he needs to break up that routine.

Kanell has hated Georgia for a while. When Javon Bullard planted Marvin Harrison in the back of the end zone, I thought Kanell was gonna cry as he told his sad story about being a concussion victim, as if that had anything to do with Bullard's violent but completely legal hit.

Don't let the troll bother you. Starting not one but two political threads in his early days on the board was a give away. And still continues trying to inject politics into the discussions.
quote:
You say exactly buts its obvious you don't understand it
Maybe not. I understand the way Kirby uses it, but I suspect from a fan's perspective you probably have a more nuanced understanding of humility than I or most Georgia fans do.
quote:
Humility is a week away.
Exactly. That's why nobody here is thinking about Missouri. We have multiple opportunities for humility before we lightly turn our attention to a team like Missouri. People only have so much bandwidth for concern. Except for you, apparently.
quote:
Right, you're totally not upset. I've already updated the log bro, no need to continue to waste keystrokes on something that isn't bothering you.
You're right, I'm seething with anger. But just out of interest, since I was wrong about Missouri being a road game, how should we be feeling about South Carolina on the road the week after our Missouri battle?
quote:
despite keeping detailed tabs on my post history and typing multiple paragraphs about an innocuous comment, you in fact are not upset.
I don't need to "keep tabs" on your post history. When someone predicts that we'll have a "war" with Missouri (which was in the process of losing to Miss State), and we don't even play Missouri until 7 wks later in the season, I wonder why and it makes an impression. When they repeat the same thing multiple times over the next week, I realize that they're trying to evoke a response. So I gave you a response because I figured nobody else is thinking or cares about Missouri right now. I thought that would make you happy.
quote:
Damn I really struck a nerve with you two huh?
Not at all. I just noticed that you've told us half a dozen times that Missouri will be a war or battle or something to that effect. SEC road games are a test, for everybody. That's nothing new. Our game with Missouri was a war in 2022, and so was Kentucky. In '23 it was Auburn, and '24 Kentucky again, and Ole Miss. In '25 it was Auburn again and Florida and Tennessee and even Georgia fricking Tech. Road games are hard but, since you've said it over and over, I just thought someone should acknowledge your concerns about Missouri. If we struggle, or Heaven forbid lose, you will be awarded 6 E-credits.

Fire that mother fricker. He took the best offense and best RB in the NATION to play a NOBODY SEC team and could not do shite!!!
I think what WarMouth is gently trying to suggest is that the greatness of Buster Faulkner is only exceeded by the greatness of Missouri which is only exceeded by the greatness of Miss St which is only exceeded by the greatness of Alabama. I'm not sure where UGA fits in his mental rankings, but since we've been repeatedly assured our contest with Missouri will be a battle, presumably we're somewhere between Miss State and Kansas.

Zayden went at the QB like a missile yesterday, and whiffed when the guy sidestepped. He needs to keep those hips loose.

I don't feel good about this matchup at all given our lackluster running game and defensive play.
The run game will get better if Frazier is healthy. As for the defense, the ability is there but the execution is inconsistent. They're still missing too many assignments. As the season progresses, I don't think you'll be seeing as many receivers running with a large separation from the nearest defender. I doubt that will be completely fixed by next Saturday, but hopefully improved.
The other problem I see is we don't currently have a guy on the edge who can both keep contain and rush the passer. It would be very nice to have Amaris Williams and Chase Linton healthy and ready to play. We'll have to scheme around that for a while, which I think can be more easily done once the secondary is on the same page.
If we lose Saturday it doesn't change anything IMO. Every SEC team has issues and there will be a lot of "upsets" as the season goes on. Kirby's teams normally get better and this one has a lot of talent and a lot of potential for improvement.

Ok calling it now… we kick UF’s arse and Mizzou ain’t shite on the road.
Based on games so far every SEC team ain't shite on the road. I hope we can break that trend.
