They could afford to play 2-deep, with man on the outside, and still have 6 in the box. It's a killer for this offense, particularly when we can't communicate at the line (or even in the huddle for that matter) to make the correct reads. We spread the defense out to get numbers in the box. We didn't have numbers. We take advantage of 1v1 on the outside when the opponent has numbers in the box. We couldn't take advantage. We go long when we have our guys alone on the outside. We missed.

No other defense that we will play can do that. Except maybe Ohio State if we meet them in the playoff. Even then, they just don't have the mutants that UGA does on defense.

We certainly won't have to play in the Decibel Orgy again for the rest of the season. South Carolina thinks they're a wild time, but we'll still be able to play our game there. In the bowl game(s), it will be a 50/50 environment.

Yes, this was the other major factor, probably biggest factor that I didn't mention. Its just hard for me to believe our WR's, who have scorched every team this year, just couldn't get open AT ALL in man on man coverage. The UGA DBs are good, but are they shutdown, Hyatt, Tillman, and Bru all game good? I just don't believe it. I think Hendon got rattled and when he didn't see his first read open like usual, he didn't know what to do. There are times we run a play where the entire left side WRs wont even run a route because the play is designed for one receiver on the right. When that isn't open, Hendon is left guessing.

He was. If you take the number of times Hooker had a reasonable opportunity to make a play and compare it to Stetson's, Stetson made the play a higher % of the time. How else would you compare performances of 2 QB with a large talent gap of players around them? I don't think you're unbiased enough to have a complex, nuanced conversation that might involve saying something negative about someone you're a fan of lol. You're getting way too riled up over some really, really minor criticisms of Hooker. With all your superlatives and caps lock and even changing font colors, clearly this is a hot button issue for you, so I'm going to drop it.

Hooker had a worse game than Stetson Bennett, but when you're playing with the #1 ranked roster talent its kind of expected. Bama QBs did it for years, Nebraska QBs did it for years under Osborne.

Stetson did exactly what he should have and had a good game because of it against one of the worst passing defenses in the country.

Georgia's Passing Defense is elite
16th in completion % given up
15th in passing yards allowed
1st in passing TDs given up

Tennessee's Passing Defense is awful
93rd in completion % given up
127th in passing yards allowed
42nd in passing TDs given up

You put a good QB on an elite team and they'll have good numbers, no one is arguing that. I also know that Hooker's playing in a system that allows good QBs to look great.

Not ranting all day about it. We played the best passing defense we'll face all season and they made us look bad. But this BS narrative that all the blame for results falls on Hendon Hooker is stupid. Go rewatch the game, Georgia exposed our OL at it's week point (LT) Mincey/Crawford gave up most the sacks and most the pre-snap penalties and even when RBs were left in to help they were useless.

Time to worry about Missouri and finishing 3-0.
