Game day Chat @ UGa

Dude we are not on that stage until we earn it.

You make no sense

I don't? The original post was that Patrick was disrespecting us. He wasn't. We are fbs but we are not at the level of p5 until we win some of these games. We got smoked by Miami last year and now Georgia this year. What is confusing about that?

Guys we can't be P5 if we win every single game against anybody for five years in a row in the Sunbelt Conference.....you can only be P5 if your in a P5 conference. There is a huge difference in G5 and FCS....I don't understand why this is so difficult to understand.

No one thinks we are fcs. No one is saying that. But stop being so sensitive. We are a fantastic program but we aren't even close to being on the same level of these schools. It's ok. We are not there yet. The announcers were very fair to us tonight but to think they are slighting is after that performance is us not facing our reality

As with most of the posts another off the rails. The whole point of the initial post was that the announcer's comment sounded like little Appy needs credit for having the guts to play a big boy. By no means do I think we ARE a big boy. My point was simply that we have played big boys for years and that it's not a new thing this year. Not a big deal.

Defense looked really good at times but were just gassed with the offense going 3 and out so often. These types of games really reveal Lambs arm weakness, shutting down 50% of our offense. And when they're shutting our run game down we really had no shot. We'll be fine against peer competition though. I'm not worried at all about this season.

Agreed. Chubb had 96yds in 15 carries. Take away his longest run of 28 yards and he averages a respectable 4.8 ypc. Michel had 87 yards on 15 carries. Take away his long run of 44 and he avgs. 2.8 ypc. Pretty good given how long the defense was on the field and these are the best backs that we will face all year.

Not ripping on you but I love how we can always take an ass whipping and make it look not so bad.

That's fine. Not ripping you but I understand how some look at a score and call it an ass whooping. Let's see how the statistics stack up to the rest of their opponents before we draw conclusions. We may win 60-0 next week and we still won't learn a damn thing about this team from being on the other end of the ass whipping. I want to see improvement from the young guys. Too many missed assignments on defense and that can't happen in a 3-4. Too many stupid mental mistakes by veterans. 5, 15 yard penalties can't happen. Stouts was ticky tack but had to be called. Duck got caught defending another players man. Jean-Charles PI was BS. But they were called and you can't have those mistakes. We came away withou injuries and committed no turnovers. There are things to build on and things to correct.

Fair enough, I agree we were not out classed and it is entirely possible UGA will stomp SEC class opponents in a similar manner, but it does not make the ass kicking any better

[bigdaddyg]

Just curious. How many 15 yard penalties have we amassed in the past 2 years by our offensive linemen?

[AppSt94]

Interesting to see that we actually won the TOP. Not sure how given the number of three and outs that we had.

[NoLongerLurking]

How many hundreds of yards worth of penalties did our football team commit this evening?

11 for 105 - most in terrible spots of the game

[/\PP ST/\TE GRAD 09]

Recover, run the table, go 11-1, play MAC team in Camellia Bowl. No problem

We can afford a few more losses and still possibly land that game.

[/\PP ST/\TE GRAD 09]

Very disappointed. No offense, very little defense . Poor play calling. After watching all the footage from the 07 team, they were a much more athletic team. Better corners faster receivers, electric qb, ga is a great team with great rb's, but there are no leaders on this team

I disagree this team is faster and bigger than 07... just playing a better team while being one dimensional .

Bigger and a better defense this year absolutely. Offensively we have nobody that can run a slant and score like Dex did twice. We also for some unknown reason which pisses me off every time I say it have refused to recruit a true dual threat QB. Lamb is far from Armanti. This team's offense is very easy to read. Lamb isnt a down field threat nor a threat to pull it and run like Armanti.

THIS is the story of the game. Personally, I don't think UGA was that impressive. They will not win the SEC east. They capitalized on our stupid mistakes and made none themselves until late in 4th. Penalties for us can be cleaned up.

The U last season straight up beat us more soundly (VT since some throwing that around). Tonight, our mistakes bit us in the rear... as well as Mock, Meadors and Evans not dressing. We'll be OK. I view tonight akin to the game in '06 against NC State.

[AtlAppMan]

We played sloppy. I knew if we didn't play well we would get our butts kicked and that happened. The penalties sustained their drives and killed our drives. That continuously prevented us from getting any momentum and we just kept digging a deeper and deeper hole throughout the game. As we dug the hole deeper it allowed them to go to a much more conservative game plan of running the ball with the best two back combo in FBS. You can't put yourself in that position and we did. Once we dug the hole deep enough they turned it over to Chubb and Michel. Nobody wants to be opposing UGA when all they have to do is let them run. We had chances early in the game and didn't capitalize due to our own mistakes/penalties. Their D is very good. We made some mistakes on defense but also showed some very good signs. I think the mistakes can and will be cleaned up on defense. I was disappointed we didn't try to go down field any more than we did. Taylor looked much better throwing the ball tonight with a lot more zip. I don't understand our offensive play calling in the second half at all. Satt said he had to go down field and it didn't look like we even tried. We have to go down field in future games and take some chances. Thomas looked good with strong arm but you can't tell how he will play in a regular game situation from a few plays at the end of a blowout game so don't start bringing up TL for ZT questions. Lamb definitely has earned his position for this year based on last three years and did not do ANYTHING tonight to deserve those questions.

Oh, and the refs sucked in their favor numerous times but that was not the reason we lost and you can't put yourself in a position where that matters, but they did.

Given a fair amount of bad tonight, there was also quite a bit of good to build on. I think and believe we will clean up a lot of the dumb crap and are in a good position to make a run this season. As much as I had hoped we would be, we are definitely not NY6 material yet but do have a good outlook for remainder of year.

[AtlAppMan]

Remember, UGA had 10 defensive players returning from a unit that was very good at defending the run last year. They may be for real again this year on the rund defense. I can see why but hoped Moore could do much more than he did.

[AtlAppMan]

I just counted 7 separate drives where OUR penalties either extended UGA drives or killed App offensive drives through middle of 3rd qtr until we were so far under water that we could not recover. That is the main reason we lost.

[diehardapp18]

Our offense looked hopeless from the start tonight. I don't even think we had any type of game plan on that side of the ball tonight.

Have we scored more than 20 points against a P6 team since Michigan?

Nope. The play calling in the past few seasons against P6 schools has been way too conservative. Almost to the point where it appears there is no desire to win. I doubt that's true, but the play calling brings it into question. Why not try to open the playbook up a bit in a game you're not favored to win? I don't like to question Satterfield often, but when it comes to playing the big boys our offensive play calling needs to improve. Defense was great last year against Tennessee, this year against UGA I would say between good and great. Offense both last season and this season had predictable play calling and not many shots down field.

Playing a team of that caliber will make the play calling look bad. Georgia's defensive backs and Lamb's lack of time, kept us from throwing down field. The announcers mentioned that Georgia wasn't going to give up the long pass.
Anyone notice that Turberville ( I think it was) kept saying "thow" the ball instead of "throw?"

[NewApp]

Mike Patrick has always been a dumbass.

Is he wrong? He's been very complimentary of us. We are not Georgia. We are not the big boys yet at all.

I think the point is that G5 commonly play and schedule P5......Mr Patricks implications we're like as if we are an FCS program.

Dude we are not on that stage until we earn it.

You make no sense

I agree with SeattleApp. We're not SEC caliber. No one in the Belt is.

[The Rock]

I know we are primarily a run team, and we want to establish that in order to open up other things, however, how do we not have a plan B when the run game can not get going?
Going in to the game, we knew it would be difficult to run on UGA, and it was, but we continued it all evening. It never worked.
I know lamb's arm is limited and he didn't get a lot of time to throw, but surely UGA had a weakness somewhere that we could exploit to get some positive plays going, right??
It seems any team with decent corners could stack the box and easily beat us if we don't have any kind of game plan for a particular team.
It like we scheme the game like we want to regardless of opponent and if that is not working, there is no back up plan

[McLeansvilleAppFan]

P6? Not sure if a typo or fans of the AAC. My choice Prig 5, many are a bunch of prigs.

[hapapp]

My biggest concern was the lack of discipline as evidenced by the nature and timing of the penalties. Generally, you hope that sort of thing can be cleaned up. In my mind, it was the most critical stat of the game. We can't afford to have a repeat performance going forward.

This isn't the same type of offense as the one from 2007. Better players now, but a different scheme.
