Carson Beck's wheels (no, not the lambo...)

PapaSweetsDawg
Big turning point in the season on offense IMO has been his threat in the run game. His 3rd and 8 conversion in OT was the biggest play in the game.

He still somehow manages to get every single DE read wrong (keeps when he should hand off and vice versa), but at least he is giving the defense something else to think about.

Stetson gave us that element, and Fromm did his freshman year in 2017 (and then never again).

ChatGPT rates and analyzes Mike Bobo as an OC. Do you agree?

GoUGAWoof
I asked CHATGPT the three following questions. Feel free to load it yourself.
Who thinks this is accurate and fair?? I personally believe CHAT GPT nails it.
  • What are the Strengths and Weaknesses of Mike Bobo - UGA Offensive Coordinator
  • How would you rate Mike Bobo on a scale of 1-10 factoring in ALL his performances/jobs over his entire career?
  • What does he need to do to be at his best?


Rating Mike Bobo's Career (1-10):

Overall, I would rate Mike Bobo a 7/10. Here's the breakdown:
  • Strengths and standout moments in his career elevate him to a solid 7.
  • Inconsistencies and weaknesses prevent him from being an 8 or 9, let alone a perfect 10.
Strengths
  1. Offensive Knowledge and Play Design:
    Bobo is a highly experienced offensive mind. He’s capable of crafting explosive plays and has a strong understanding of quarterback development (e.g., Aaron Murray’s success). His schemes, when clicking, can dominate.
  2. Improvisational Ability:
    • When Bobo adapts in-game, he shows brilliance, often adjusting his play-calling to exploit defensive weaknesses.
    • His best performances are characterized by balanced attacks that keep defenses guessing.
  3. QB Development:
    • Bobo has a track record of developing quarterbacks into productive leaders. Under his tutelage, UGA consistently saw top-tier QB play during his first stint (Murray, Stafford).
  4. Run Game Coordinator:
    • Bobo’s offenses typically produce strong rushing attacks. He leverages talented RBs with an effective zone-running scheme.
  5. Experience Across Roles:
    • Having served as a head coach and coordinator at various levels (UGA, Colorado State, Auburn, South Carolina), Bobo brings a wealth of knowledge and situational awareness to the game.
​
Weaknesses
  1. Conservatism & Predictability:
    • One of the biggest criticisms of Bobo is his tendency to lean heavily on a conservative, interior-run-first game plan, especially in high-pressure games. His reliance on this base scheme has often stalled UGA's offense in critical stretches.
  2. Inconsistent Adaptability:
    • While his improvisation can be brilliant, he sometimes struggles to shift out of ineffective strategies quickly enough. This results in long stretches of stagnation, allowing opposing defenses to control the game.
  3. Game Management in Big Games:
    • Against elite defenses (e.g., SEC Championships, Playoffs), Bobo’s play-calling has been questioned. He occasionally fails to maintain offensive rhythm, either by abandoning successful elements or persisting with ineffective plays.
  4. Red Zone Efficiency:
    • Some of his offenses have struggled in red zone situations, with a noticeable drop-off in creativity compared to open-field play.
​
What Bobo Needs to Do to Be at His Best
  1. Commit to Aggressive, Dynamic Play-Calling Early and Often:
    • Avoid long periods of conservatism. Stick to a balanced, aggressive game plan that mixes run and pass effectively, even when under pressure.
  2. Use More Pre-Snap Motion and Misdirection:
    • The best modern offenses consistently confuse defenses with motion and varied formations. Bobo can lean into this more to create mismatches.
  3. Faster In-Game Adjustments:
    • If the base plan isn’t working, pivot faster to his "improvised mode." UGA’s best moments under Bobo often happen when he’s in this mode.
  4. Trust the Talent at His Disposal:
    • UGA often has superior athletes at skill positions. Bobo needs to prioritize getting the ball into the hands of playmakers in space (e.g., quick screens, jet sweeps).
  5. Develop a Killer Instinct in Big Games:
    • Play to win, not just to avoid mistakes. Taking calculated risks (deep shots, 4th-down conversions) can turn tight games into decisive victories.
​
Conclusion

Bobo’s career reflects both high-level offensive acumen and frustrating inconsistencies. If he refines his adaptability and remains aggressive, he could easily elevate to an 8 or 9 on the coordinator scale, potentially solidifying UGA’s place as a perennial title contender.

Ohio State and the transfer portal

I can't think of a worse use of $20 million than what Ohio State did this year. Every "win" they got in the portal combined was offset by this one L: Running Kyle McCord out of town. My God have y'all looked at the season he has had compared to Will Howard? The portal giveth, and the portal taketh.
