Re: not a bad half of football
Up by 39 and they throw a 37 yard bomb down field with under 3 minutes. Just went for it on 4th down too. Mark Richt is a piece of shit.
But I guess their team just needs the reps...

Re: not a bad half of football
We've got Nunn and Gossett redshirted. Either will do a better job there. We've even got some PWO's shirted that could do as good or better.BeauFoster wrote:He's certainly shown to be a weak link on the line this season.

Re: not a bad half of football
Glad to heat Scott say that he will take the positive things that happened in the first half an use them to motive the team for Wofford next week. He said next week is a huge game. I agree we need to close this out with two wins for the seniors. Can't wait to get back to Boone for the final battle for the JUG in two weeks.

Re: not a bad half of football
Kind of tough to keep up the anybody anytime anywhere if we are going to be crybabies. If I am going to play somebody I want them playing hard till the end. If we can't hang with their second or third string we need to stay home.ASU-FTW wrote:Give me a break. Their players are far better than ours. We can't stop them and they know it.

Re: not a bad half of football
What do you think Jerry Moore would have done in that situation? I understand we have to stop them but there comes a point where you run out the clock.

If we can hang with a good SEC team for a half, we should be able to win our last two SoCon games.appbio91 wrote:Glad to heat Scott say that he will take the positive things that happened in the first half an use them to motive the team for Wofford next week.

Re: not a bad half of football
I don't believe in that. I say you clear your bench and tell them to play hard. don't ever insult the other team by laying down. If we don't want to take our lumps we need to stop playing those teams.hapapp wrote:What do you think Jerry Moore would have done in that situation?

Re: not a bad half of football
I agree to a point but there comes a point where the game is clearly over and you finish out the game. It's got nothing to do with taking our lumps. It was 45-6 at that point. i think we had taken our lumps.bcoach wrote:I don't believe in that. I say you clear your bench and tell them to play hard. don't ever insult the other team by laying down.

Re: not a bad half of football
Well here is where I am coming from. I was coaching a game a few years back against a coach I had coached against for about 10 years. We were a pretty dominant team for quite a few years. We were up by a bunch and I started holding my players back. He called time and asked the ump to deliver the following message to me. " coach I thought we had a better relationship than to think you would show us so little respect as to not let your bench play hard against us, my players are insulted". I didn't fully understand until a few years later when we fell on hard times. We were in the same position and down by a bunch. The other team backed off and it was noticeable. My players were upset. More than half the players expressed to me they felt the other coach had no respect for us. I have just never forgotten that. I just really feel that if we don't want the other team to play till the clock runs out we need to stay home.hapapp wrote:I agree to a point but there comes a point where the game is clearly over and you finish out the game.

Re: not a bad half of football
Yup. As Corey Lynch said before the Michigan game, "I want to tell them not to let up on us and we won't let up on them." I've never understood the idea that an offense should play defense against itself.AppSt94 wrote:The kids on the field for Georgia don't get to play alot during the season and some of them will be counted on through attrition. To send a kid a practice squad player on the field to lay down is classless. It is our defenses job to stop them. Let them run their plays. Our kids need the reps as well.

Re: not a bad half of football
I wasn't suggesting they needed to run it up the middle every play and I realize you need to give your backups the opportunity to actually play the game. I just felt there was a point where you just try to run out the clock. I don't think our guys or staff were upset by what was taking place and I don't think it is a big deal in the scope of the game. I guess I was bit surprised that they were as aggressive as they were that late in the game.bcoach wrote:Well here is where I am coming from.

I dunno. Maybe hang 79 on the board like he did on Western, or 72 on Wofford.hapapp wrote:What do you think Jerry Moore would have done in that situation? I understand we have to stop them but there comes a point where you run out the clock.

Re: not a bad half of football
Of course, in the 4th quarter against Wofford on our last two possessions we did nothing but run the ball and the last two TDs we scored that night were on the ground.
Against Western, all our scores but one were on the ground and that TD was in the first half. Our last score was a pick six.
In neither of those games were we throwing the ball all over the field in the closing minutes of the game.

Re: not a bad half of football
I was real proud of the Apps today and the UGA guys I sat with at the game were sweating a little early. One guy asked me "how the hell did this team lose to NC A&T and Charleston Southern"?
UGA really wanted to get their backup QB, Mason, some reps as he is the projected starter next season. I don't think they wanted to run up the score, but if it happened so be it.
Counts had a few issues today but made one hell of a downfield block on a safety to spring Cox on the nice draw play.

This big time. No wonder he had four false start penalties this game. He needed the jump to have a chance against the defender.firemoose wrote:Counts is going to get one of our QB's killed.

He killed two of our early drives by jumping offsides.

Re: not a bad half of football
I've been saying that since the A&T game. Just watch him. Sometimes he just dives at the DE and they just jump over him. It happened so many times at the A&T game, I don't even watch him anymore.....He will be our QB killed doing that crap.....firemoose wrote:Counts is going to get one of our QB's killed.

Re: not a bad half of football
Trey Elder's T pass in the third NC game comes to mind, as well. As much as I loved to see it, if we are going down this road, we have to bring it up.Kgfish wrote:I dunno.
