There are limited opportunities to hit 50/50 balls against UGA . The windows on passes are much much smaller. Counting on this , UGA sat on the run gaps , pass rushed with abandon and blitzed from everywhere. They man covered with no fear They put more in the box than we had blockers. They basically dared JG to hit the short and intermediate routes. He could not. If he could have , he would have got a positive blocker to rusher ratio and the run game would have worked. There would have been no blitzes. He would have had more time . He would have had time to target the man coverage downfield.
This single read check down stuff if going to work against the rank an file SEC ...but it won't against the elite. UGA just put the script on TV as to how to shut JG down. He has to go thru progressions , take advantage of blitzes and take the defense out of the box. Ever wonder why nobody would blitz Manning ? Because he would make them pay rather than stand like a deer in the headlights
2 JG turnovers completely sucked all life out of the offense.
When you can't protect the QB and can't run the ball, and commit numerous stupid penalties, it's not the QB's fault by any stretch of reasonableness. When given time, JG made very good throws. He was near perfect in the first half when he had time to throw. When you rush for -1 yds. for the game, you are going to lose badly 99.99% of the time. Our OL played much worse than JG. I would not have believed we couldn't rush for more than 50 yds.JG plain and simple. Defense played their hearts out and got tired
3 straight turnovers on JG was the tipping point in the game was it not?When you can't protect the QB and can't run the ball, and commit numerous stupid penalties, it's not the QB's fault by any stretch of reasonableness.

I don't disagree with any of this but I'll add the offensive line was supposed to be the strength of this team but they got beaten soundly tonight. When that happens the D Coordinator can pretty much do whatever he wants to pressure wise. He was in Chaney's head all game, they knew what he was running most of the time. In a scale of blame if go OL, OC, JG in that order.
That and 5th year QBs that don’t know what throwing the ball away means
