- first off.. tip of the cap to Carson, he played excellent and played with a diff type of confidence since his rut he’s been in.. man he was sharp and a good bit of the incompletions weren’t on him. Still wasn’t perfect, but he was out there ripping it in the right spots for the most part. No turnovers.
- the whole game changed for Beck after that scramble first down early in the 2nd quarter.. it’s almost like that ignited him and he was a diff guy. He’s not a statue, he can move around.. he just has to do it more. If you don’t use it, you lose it.. needs to use them legs and extend and that gives the defense something else to spend time on game planning against.
- I thought Tenn played a very good game. They executed well.. their OL got some push on a good UGA DL and Sampson kid is legit, he’s damn good.. Heupel schemes the run game quite well when he’s got a dude at RB and right now they eat thru the run game before the pass game. And that’s not to take away from Nico, I thought he looked sharp and he’s got an NFL arm no question.. when you can put him on the ground, he gets a little shaky and forces throws once he feels that heat.
- Frazier didn’t get loose, but he played a very solid game.. his vision is getting better. Still doesn’t sometimes go to the right spot. Noticed he had a death grip on the ball this week. OL still needs to open up better consistently for the backs.
- in pass pro, this may have been one of the best outings for the OL… Freeling was pretty excellent at LT, especially given who was facing.. I think this is the route the team should take and he gives the best chance to play winning ball right there. Jared Wilson played with hair on fire too. A healthy Ratledge makes the whole unit look better.
- Look at the pass catchers do some catching?! Amazing how much the better the offense looks when there’s basic execution. Delp was separating and clean, Yurosek is officially a weapon in the pass game now for UGA.. that’s BIG going forward with another threat. Luckie didn’t have his best game. Lovett did some great things… but he had a few bonehead plays that you cannot do, still having some drops with him and it makes no sense - he doesn’t have bad hands , I think he’s pressing a bit. Arian is a dynamic player, I’m sorry to tell the Smith haters that but it’s the truth.. yeah he also does some frustrating things, but you have to understand the dude has never gotten any consistent burn like this year and I think he’s really improving as a player and I wish he could come back because he’s turning into more of a complete WR. If Nitro can contribute going forward, will be HUGE… he was in early as well, the game plan this week had him featured and that’s awesome.. he’s a smooth moving flexible player and might can do some things that others can’t in regards to making contested catches.
- Mondon being back healthy made the entire D look better imo.. moves at a diff speed than the others in the LB room right now. Chambliss is a big reason why you don’t just volunteer dudes that can eventually contribute to hit the portal when they want to stay.. he’s always did a lot of things right, but now the game is slowed down for him and he’s making an impact.. glad he’s here.
- still frustrating to see the CBs playing 12 yards off on 3rd and 8s.. they can’t close fast enough to not give it to them. I think Daniel Harris gives the highest ceiling there, to me he’s playing better ball than Humphrey and it’s not too close. KJ is this close to picking one off and cribbing it 🤏
- a couple days ago I was president of the Bobo hate club… but he had a beautiful game plan for Tenn and called and excellent game.. but the offense goes as Beck goes, if he’s firing on all cylinders this team can still beat anyone.
