15th D of 16 in SEC

"If we have something to play for."

Boy I hope that's not true. All other injury rehab concerns aside, I sure hope that's not true.

Why? At this level it is more business than anything else. Why would a potential 1st round pick risk reinjuring his knee if we are fighting for citrus bowl vs music city bowl?

Nobody likes bad news. Defense wins championships.

In 2022, Georgia gave up 41 points to Ohio State in the CFP, still won the game and went on to win it all.

There were 2 things that did give me some concern from Saturday:
1. We didn't get a lot of pressure on the QB - would have expected more pressure against UAB
2. They had some receivers absolutely wide open. We were sitting in Z and had a good vantage point and was shocked at how many were open with no one within 5 yards.

Gibson and McCoy being out are definitely hurting us, but we need to get some more pressure if we are to reach our full potential.

I’d say Syracuse and UGA put up legit yards on us but UAB got yards against the scrubs and same with ETSU

Both Angeli for Syracuse and Kitna for UAB are ranked top 5 in total yards. I don't know if that's because they've played our defense or if they are that prolific. Maybe both.

Defense not as bad as the numbers suggest.

Lol Tennessee will roll Vandy in Neyland and roll up over 500 yards.

Ok, Hope you are right, but we'll see how this ages.

Angeli is/was Legit before Clem took him out. Kitna padded stats against Tenn because Heuple chose to sub midway through the 3rd quarter. Kitna did his damage vs 3rd teamers. Disappointing that we didn't get to see McIntyre in the 4th. But with the heat, I understand. Don't take chances with Msu up.

it will age well. Vandy is extremely mid.

 

[Volbrando]

Our offense is really good. Maybe better than 2022.

Our defense - with these injuries - is bad. Really bad at times. Once we get back some players and get some improvement on defense . . . We could be scary good.

if only we could put together a defense like last year with a good offense... need these things to line up one year and run the table

Coming into the game, Kitna had more yards than Aguilar. That surprised me.

What does that mean to you? It’s too vague to understand so let’s go specific. 8 games left. Who does Vandy beat?

Home vs Utah State
At Bama
H vs LSU
H vs Mizzou
At Texas
H vs Auburn
H vs UK
At Tennessee

I could see 4-4. That puts them 8-4. I’d say that’s better than “mid” but you may see it differently. What say you?

Noted. So far Vandy leads the Country in points covered over the spreads, 4-0 by an average of 24. Obviously exceeding expectations.

Utah State - W
LSU - L
Mizzou - L
Texas - L
Auburn - L
UK - W
TN - L

8-4 where their wins are FCS school, Bad VTech, Mid USCjr, Bad GA State, Bad Utah State, Bad UK is not a good team

Expectations were also for USCjr to be good. They aren't. VTech was obviously supposed to be better than they are. I'm not buying the Vandy hype whatsoever.

8-4 is upper level mid. True mid is 6-6.

You make points. Vandy was picked below both teams preseason. But, It could be argued that Vandy started their slides. Obviously 10-4 @ bama will tell the tale with bama looking for revenge. If they blow Vandy out, it was all Hype. I HOPE Bama does! $$$

 

[cgrish]

I'd like to point out that not many teams have played a team as tough as UGA and I'd also like to know how many yards are in garbage time when the game is over.

Most of the yards in UAB game was in second half when our 2 and 3's were in the game.

Against no one that’s good. Vandy is mid. 7-5 again

 

[cgrish]

I think the stats might be somewhat askew since we've only had one quality opponent. That means our bench has had a lot of playing time. The game stats against Syracuse are probably closer to how we'll average.

Syracuse scored more against Clemson than they did against us, and it was at Clemson. Although Clemson is not as good as normal, they do have a good defense.

 

[cgrish]

In 2022, Georgia gave up 41 points to Ohio State in the CFP, still won the game and went on to win it all.

In todays game, a good offense is going to score against the best defense, 35 to 40 points
