Stop shuffling the line

A CS routine has been to shuffle people in during gsmes. Move player X from tackle to guard and bring a backup in. The upside is that you develop depth. The downside of this is that you get good at several positions but never great bc it's just different moving from tackle to guard or from left side to right side (stance, splits, etc).
Normally I wouldn't mind this strategy. But from what we saw on Saturday, it needs to get shut down. The lineup we had with Freeling on the left side, we just need to stick with it from now on. We played well and let them keep rolling. Greene can come off the bench when we get up big on Mass next week.
We weren't great with the run game on Saturday but we were efficient. We need to be more than that going forward.

Reactions: Athens is Heaven

Elite Troll Job by UGA AA Last Night

For those who were not at the game last night:

- Charlie Condon did the “Saturday in Athens” voice over
- We honored Charlie Condon with the Golden Spikes Award and Dick Howser Trophy on-field between the first and second quarters (no professors!)
- At the 4th quarter 2 minute timeout, the PA played “The Stroke” by Billy Squier

Tennessee fans think that Christian Moore was robbed of those awards, in addition to SEC POTY, and they also think they were the first fanbase to do the Stroke, two things that are unequivocally not true.

Major props to the game ops dept in the AA last night for that. I’m sure Charlie would rather want a natty than individual awards, but I’m sure it just rubbed salt into the wounds of those entitled, delusional orange hillbillies even more.

Dashboard spoiler…playoff projections

I dive into this in my Dashboard that will be published in a bit but just real quick on where I think the Bulldogs stand.
Let’s preface this by saying Georgia still needs to win its next two games, so don’t come at me with any “it’s not over yet” comments. 😀.
But as far as the playoffs go, some comments:
1. Everyone I talk to expects the SEC and Big Ten to get four teams in.
2. When the projections are announced tomorrow, look for Georgia to be ranked 7-10 but still behind Texas, Alabama and Ole Miss.
3. Even though Coach Smart was asked about the CFP after the game, don’t think for one second those comments weren’t orchestrated to a certain degree.
Strength of schedule has become a big talking point, and that’s a point Smart and Josh Brooks were all too happy to drive home. I’m going to be very interested to hear the comments from CFP Chair Warde Manuel to see if he backtracks on some of his comments about the Bulldogs after the way they beat Tennessee.
4. Either way, as long as Georgia does not lose to Tech, I feel their spot in the playoff field will be secure.

As I’ve been saying for weeks (Long and for bracket nerds)

Georgia is still not likely to host a playoff game. Unfortunately unless the committee suddenly comes to their senses Tuesday with our win over Tennessee, teams like Penn St and Notre Dame have stolen 2 home games. A third spot will go to the loser of Oregon/Ohio St. So basically one spot for an SEC team and knowing the committee and how much they punish losses it will probably be Ole Miss and I’ll tell you why.

The likely SEC title game is the winner of Texas/Texas A&M against Bama. It doesn’t matter who goes pick one the winner of that game is a 2 seed and the loser IMO because they’ll have a 3rd loss won’t be punished out of the playoff, but will lose a home game. So let’s just say Texas wins out. I believe Bama would travel and Ole Miss would jump Bama resulting in a home game for them. The only catch to all this is a Notre Dame loss or Indianas fate. Bottom line Indiana is in with a close loss to Ohio St. For no reason you’ve seen how the committee values close losses more than ranked wins(I cringe so ****ing hard) Penn St is your proof. No good wins but committee has fallen in love with them for achieving the hardest thing to do in this sport which is lose to Ohio St at home by 7. A blowout and Indiana is out and you can insert Tennessee back in. Understand this and accept it. Indiana is in unless they get mauled. Don’t even argue I know you’re right. The committee doesn’t give af. They’re useless.

I’m talking likely outcomes and not weird chaos which could happen here’s imo how that bracket would look.

1. Oregon/Ohio St
2. Texas/Bama
3. Miami/SMU
4. BYU/Arizona St/Colorado

5. Ohio St/Oregon
6. Penn St
7. Notre Dame
8. Ole Miss
9. Georgia/Texas/Bama
10. Georgia/Texas/Bama
11. Indiana
12. Boise St

I really hope this committee is intentional about avoiding rematches.

I feel like this is where we’re headed guys. We need this committee to do the right thing and punish Notre Dame for not being in a conference and the most EGREGIOUS factor which is a home loss to NIU. You cannot reward them for this shit. One road win over A&M is not enough to garner this much respect. Louisville which is Notre Dame’s other ranked win just lost to a two win Stanford team. They’ll no longer be ranked Tuesday. And if A&M loses to Texas they’ll barely be ranked.

It’s time for the committee to reward SOS and resume/eye test. I don’t see how in any world you believe Notre Dame should be ahead of Georgia especially after Saturday.

I could go on forever it is so unbelievably stupid.
