Good UGA Game Analysis

Hope this is okay... I have no affiliation with this podcast, but I really like this guy and think he gives a great analysis of the game here:

Bleav in Tennessee Football - Episode 4

The sticker on the podcast says this is Kyler Kerbyson who was an offensive lineman for the VOLs during the Dooley and Butch years. He is probably a little bias and rightfully so but nice to have a VFL share his thoughts anyway. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting. Good analysis, especially on the OL and how they kept messing up protection.

Without specifically calling them out he was very critical of Cheney and Friend

Yep. Great analysis. The point about running go routes on 3rd and 5 and only running the ball 7 times in the first half are dead on. I don't know what Chaney was thinking.

Considering we were up 21-17 at half I am not sure the first half game plan deserves a lot of criticism. Not adjusting it in the second half when it wasn't working...that deserves plenty of second guessing.

Offense actually had us down 17-14.

I've been saying this all year, Chaney is putting this offense in bad situations, it was just more noticable in the GA game because it was so obvious. I'm not sure what he's trying to do.

I know he's an expert and his body of work speaks for itself but I can't figure out what he is trying to do offensively or why he's doing it. If you believe it's because of a limited qb that argument won't hold water, what he's doing often is more challenging on qb's than safer options. It's really puzzling to me.

So 7 of those 21 points came from the UGA center. So we actually only scored 14 points to their 17 (offense v offense) in the first half, as others have pointed out. Also, Kirby Smart was a huge dumbass in the 2d qtr and despite the talent advantage we could all see already, he decides to go for it on 4th down on his own 36 yard line and give us a chance to stay in the game. Credit to Chaney as he goes for the kill shot right away and dials up a great play on our first one, a 36 yard TD pass.

But beyond those two gifts, we scored 7 points in the first half.

Here are our RB #s in the first half.
Chandler:
1st Qtr: 1 yd
2d Qtr: 4 yds
1st half: 5 yds of rushing

Gray:
1st Qtr: 7 yds
2d Qtr: 0 yds
1st half: 7 yds of rushing

Our RBs had a grand total of 12 yards of rushing in the 1st half. If that half of offense doesn’t warrant some criticism, well let’s just say I disagree. If we get 14 more gifted points in the second half, well heck we’d almost win the game even if the offense didn’t do anything different so I don’t think we can just look at points on the scoreboard. Both halves of offense were pretty abysmal IMO, just the TOs magnified and made the 2d half more costly. That doesn’t mean the 1st half wasn’t bad though.

I haven’t listened to podcast yet, but I’ll likely tomorrow. Maybe our Oline played worse than even I thought and/or their D line was better than I thought. I’m curious to hear his thoughts on Chaney....not sure what else the guy could’ve done as we clearly couldn’t run the ball. Now Friend....if anyone, player or coach, on that entire team deserves some criticism thrown his way, that’d be my pick.

Some good points:
- OL is not keeping their eyes up to pick up blitzes
- Center is not calling out correct assignments pre-snap
- Don't run 5-wide leaving only the tackles and RB's to pick up outside blitzes
- Run intermediate crossing routes on 3rd and less than 10, not shock plays 15-20yds down field.
- Must run plays to suit your QB-- said Tanneyhill could not run the 5-wide offense-- i.e. too many reads to make, not JG's strength

He's still optimistic for a good season, very good podcast, no drama, straight to the point.

Kirby helped us out a lot in the first half. We were lucky to be up. Georgia also gifted us 7 points right of the bat.

I concede those are fair points BUT I think Chaney was trying to pass to open up the run as the runs were getting absolutely stuffed AND we scored two quick TDs which reduced our play count in first half. From counting in the play by play we ran a total of 6 times in the first half but JG was 11-13 with two TDs. Besides the two TDs he also made a beautiful throw across the middle to Brandon Johnson so looked like the gameplan was working. But alas...he did not really seem to adjust in the second half to the blitzes and an ineffective JG.

We had a nice run on the play before Roger Craig fumbled it away..😐

Probably should have ran it a lot more. Who's the "wildcat" qb?

JG need to start looking to thrown down the middle of the field. The offense need to sustain longer drives. Its cool to get the big chunck plays but great teams adjust on the fly. I would like to see them use my nephew more in the slot. Good things happen when they feature brandon more. All it does is open the big play for Palmer.

If we have a QB that's a wildcat QB probably be True Freshman Holiday think he runs a 4.4 forty but not even sure is he's taken a practice snap in the days of the Chinese Covid.

There is a reason that JG doesn’t throw in the middle of the field. Some people don’t want to hear that, but he isn’t great on those 10-25 yard throws between the hashes.

The middle of the field is int territory and JG is almost universally high and/or behind on those particular routes. That's why he rarely throws them and even more rarely completes them.

Kinda deceiving; shouldn't that be UGA; took me several seconds to figure out what the heck you were talking about. I thought GA stood for grad assistant.
