Here’s the thing not many people probably want to hear

[DaddyChad]

We’re a pretty damn good football team.

Georgia is a damn good team probably a top five team in the country. They have one of the best coaches in the country if not the best coach right now. Despise all the complaints from fans the scheme was good enough to win, our execution just wasn’t. We’re going to get healthy and be a thorn in the ass for anyone else we play this year.

 

[Lankykong]

Yeah, a few more catches/slightly more accurate passes and we win. Got a bit unlucky on calls being roughly even too. That play Matthews got his helmet taken off was some garbage

Yeah that's great. But it'd be nice to be more than the "thorn in someone's ass" for once in twenty years.

I don’t think UGA is a top 5 team right now. I think they’ll be there at the end of season though as the Oline and Qb grow.

The problem is this. Losing a game like this can do one of 2 things.

1. Light a fire under your team/coaching staff.

2. Suck the wind out of a team and cause them to lose confidence.

It’s up to Heupel to ensure this loss wasn’t for nothing.

 

[Powder and shot]

Duh

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

This. It’s literally the first SEC game and we had every chance to outright win it. It’s a long season, and our team just went toe to toe with the program that has dominated college football for the better part of the last 4 years.

 

[DaddyChad]

Yes. That said a lot of people had this pencilled in as a loss. Georgia is a playoff team imo. Pisses me off bc we had them. I’m sure Heupel has seen Max make that FG a thousand times in practice and was confident his guy had it

 

[PalmettoStateVol]

4-16 over the last 20 years against UGA. I'm tired of being the thorn. Either find the people who can turn this team into the dagger that gets thrust into the heart of opposing teams or gtfo.....

 

[Dro]

Get healthy on defense and we'll get that rematch oppurtunity in Atlanta, Team is legit just too many injuries on defense and a few coaching missteps in this one.

 

[IndianaVol]

With the way things are setup now, we could face UGA two more times yet this year...we are both that good.

 

[deezvols]

Oh the irony of people blaming the very coaches and players who had us in a position to beat the most talented team/coach in the SEC for losing…

Who should gtfo?

 

[Sudden Impact]

Missing 2 DBs did not help. Get heathy we will be alright
it is a long season nothing to compain about.

 

[Vol524]

No way Kirby is the best coach in the country. He has elite athletes or he would suck.

 

[amaralfan1]

People don't understand the rarity of how many yards we put up on a Kirby Smart defense. It's the most memorable offensive effort any team has had against them in three years.

Tennessee is very good.

 

[Dale Carter Fan]

I thought we played an outstanding game. For the first time in a long time we looked competitive against Georgia. It was a great called game by the coaching staff.

We've still gotta win in Gainesville and Tuscaloosa, something we haven't done in forever. Just like today, until we prove we can win against those 3 they have to be considered losses. Hope I'm wrong

 

[ChrisOnRockyTop]

I've heard this tale before. Its been said every year for what 20 years now?

 

[GrizzlyVol]

If Heupel will stop coaching scared at crucial times we'll be ok

Huepel needs to realize his own shortcomings first before 1 can happen. Lot if ball left to be played

When in the last 20 years were we coming off a playoff appearance and taking playoff teams to the wire?

Not bad for a team who had to plug in App States old QB suddenly in the spring

Brutal way to lose, but we clearly in the same league as Georgia and playoff contenders

Let’s keep getting better

 

[PalmettoStateVol]

Who should gtfo?

Defensive coordinator, DB coach, dudes like Boo Carter that spent the summer doing whatever he wanted instead of working out with the team.....those are a few off the top of my head....

 

[MOOOOONEY]

The champions of life world title has been retired.

Please don’t try to bring it back
