Klassy, Klassy, Klassy. That's uga!

Whether taking shots at knees or kicking opposing players in the head, uga players represent their program well.

Klassy with a K. Always.

Georgia player gets asked what he was thinking when he kicked the Tennessee defender in the face

What a douche

Think the kid was just trying to make a play, nothing classless IMO. We would be pounding our chests if Kitselman did and said the same thing.

Having seen the play, no I wouldn't. It looks like a kick to the head, not incidental contact. Maybe you would call the chop block on Shy Tuttle a few years back a good play, too, but I wouldn't. And I wouldn't 'pound my chest' about it.

I saw the play, he was trying to hurdle the guy and missed no where close to the chop block

We just disagree on that. I just see it as typical uga play. It looks like he ended up aiming for the head.

About when during the game did it happen? I’d like to see it and I can’t remember. If he did in fact kick a player in the face on purpose, that is complete BS and should be punished. I kinda feel like Kirby would absolutely handle it, but he’d do internally like always. Of course that doesn’t help TN much if there should have been a 15 yard penalty.

Looked like he tried to hurdle IMO IYAM TIFWIW

It’s the failed hurdle play.

Before anyone gets up in arms besides NW, just know he never sees anything clean from UGA. Yall would be fighting a losing battle

Sure looks like an aggressive play trying to leap the defender IMO. I personally see nothing wrong with the play.

Should have been a penalty for kicking. I know he was expecting the DB to go low, but it's still clipping if a player turns and you block them in the back or if you slip and block them below the waist.

I’m watching the game again to get a good look at the play in question and just bc I want to watch it again. My God I think I blocked out just how good JA was in the first quarter. He started the game 14 of 14 with 3 TDs and over 200 yards, in the first! Doing that against a Kirby Smart defense is ridiculously good.

It seems obvious to me that the GA player was expecting the defender to go lower and was attempting to hurdle him. Delp has made successful hurdles on similar plays several times in the past, he unfortunately guessed wrong and the defender didn’t go low.

I’m pretty sure that when a ball carrier attempts a hurdle, any contact by his leg or foot to the defender is considered incidental. I truly don’t believe Delp was intentionally trying to kick the defender, and I would feel the same way if the roles were reversed.
