Did you see what GT's D did with far less talent and a depleted secondary? UT may have the deepest, most talented D in the country. Talent wins much of the time... then you get outcoached by Mike Bobo.Banks has the Tennessee defense ranked 4th nationally in scoring defense and 6th in total defense. I prefer to keep him.
I think both games had more to do with how the Georgia offense played than their opponent. They were flat against us in the first quarter then scored 31 points in the next three quarters. They were flat in the first half against Tech then scored 27 points in the second half.Did you see what GT's D did with far less talent and a depleted secondary?

I watched the game on one Overtime, GT Edge rusher got tackled by UGA lineman & ref right in front of him UGA pass of course was complete & of course Beck had all day on that play.Alas, I have but one like to give. Great game, but everyone knew uga would take it. Refs aside, that program just finds ways to make the plays needed to win. I'll be curious to see how Heupel and Co. handle this opportunity today.
We blitzed much more than people realize in that game. Their OLine picked it up consistently and our guys did not win 1-1 matchups. Beck did get the ball out quickly on occasion but he had lots of time. In short,their guys handled our guys easilyWrong. The players failed to execute just like they did against Arky. Yes our coaching wasn’t good but to put all the blame on coaches is disingenuous. These players are getting paid. No more oh it’s all on coaching. Players HAVE to play.

The hit that caused the fumble was textbook targeting by definition.They had so many chances to win that game. They should have in regulation. That fumble was costly.
I think everything is dependent on how many fumbles/ interceptions UGA has. If two of those incompletions were actually fumbles, we would have been in businessDid you see what GT's D did with far less talent and a depleted secondary?

Yeah but they don’t hit on all cylinders all the time. It’s been in spurts. Just got to capitalize and score points when they aren’t. Tech left points off the board last night.I think both games had more to do with how the Georgia offense played than their opponent.

Just my opinion but when Georgia is hitting on all cylinders I don’t think anyone can beat them. As you said, talent wins most of the time and they have more talent than we do…and I say that based on NFL draft projections. Four of their five OL are projected to be drafted which means that when they play well - as they did against us - Beck has a clean pocket and time to let the receivers get open. I don’t think we played poorly against Georgia, I just believe they are a more talented team with more experience in some key areas.

The refs were going to make sure Georgia was going to win that game.
The 4th down PI call was completely wrong because the ball was tipped at the line of scrimmage.
One thing about that game should have been beaten into our guys heads all week - never let a weaker team outplay you early. They get confident and are tough to deal with for the rest of the game. We started very slow last week but the opponent was so weak it didn’t hurt us. We can’t do that with Vandy. We need to dominate early so they know they can’t win. Those Tech players last night never felt like they weren’t going to win.Yeah but they don’t hit on all cylinders all the time. It’s been in spurts.
