Georgia’s defense was subpar today, BUT…

Ohio State, Florida, and maybe Minnesota will likely have put Georgia as a hosting seed in the CFP before the day is over

On the 2024 senior class…

“I think you start with the senior class. Any time you have 51 wins over your career, that’s remarkable. The ironic thing is a couple of those guys had six years, so they had about 70 or 80 wins. But [Xavier] Truss and Dan [Jackson] are on their sixth year, we’ve got a bunch of guys on their fifth year, and the fourth-year family of guys are responsible for this 51. Georgia’s been playing football for a lot of years, and to have a class do that – that’s pretty special, and I thought that was great honoring them. I wish it had been a cleaner game, but they did great.”

On the team’s offensive efficiency against UMass…

“I thought they operated well. We were able to run the ball. When you can run the ball efficiently and you can throw and convert third downs, you’re going to be really good, and we were able to run the ball and control the line of scrimmage. They don’t have a lot of big guys, so that helped us tremendously in terms of running the ball. I think we were around 50 percent on third down. We didn’t have a lot of third downs because they converted them without it. We were explosive, but we should have been. As dominant as we were on offense, we should have been the same on defense.”

On Nate Frazier’s performance…

“It’s been huge. He’s very confident. He’s hitting the hole really hard, sometimes too fast, but he’s a good running back and he’s growing up fast. He’s a kid that usually would be getting a few carries, and now he’s our veteran back at this point.”

I know it was just Umass, but it sure is nice to see him spinning it. This is big for the rest of the season. When he is playing well he is a top 3-4 QB in the country.

Coach said he think it was a dislocation. Trainers popped it back in

Borrowed 10mm to cover NIL purchases. Pay 10mm per year for Kiffen and then had to send us 250k while buying new goalposts! All for absolutely nothing!

I’d enjoy watching some of these hot teams (Kansas, South Carolina, Arizona St, etc.) keep things rolling, and they’ll need to come up with a way to make non-playoff bowl games interesting and competitive.

Getting involved also. Horrible PI call. No way that is simply a bad call. It was so bad, had to be ill intent on refs part

Rush the field after maybe beating BYU and the game isn't even over.

not trying to score a td on 4th and goal, down 4.

The stadium should be 90% Georgia fans right?

Along with Notre Dame, and you hope Indiana stays in it. Same with Miami, and any G5 school.

Keep Tenn, Ole Miss (even with a loss) and Texas A&M out.

Give me the Big12/10 all day long home or on the road vs another SEC team.

Kirby takes over the D from Schumann in timeouts a LOT.

Is that correct? If so, how many players will we lose during a playoff run to the portal. People like Julio Humphrey who I don't think even played a snap today who we could use for a playoff run.

Is going to be a STUD

Deion's new talk show I saw advertised. Looked like an opinion show.

Insane how this conference gets an automatic bid… correct me if I’m wrong

There was never a Power 4

To keep Kentucky in this game. If Kentucky can put points on the board here, this one will become super interesting.

Not what we wanted. But also, not horrible either. There are some things we can really take away from this one. I'll look into the game and also give my overall thoughts.

1st Half
The dawgs were swarming on defense and absolutely playing their hearts out on D and on the glass. Shots were not falling really for either team (UGA was 2 for 12 from deep, Marquette was 5 for 15). It felt like a heavyweight fight and Marquette needed a 3 at the buzzer to go up by 1 at the break. SIlas was able to get to the foul line and also hit a couple of runners in the lane to keep us right there.

2nd half
Marquette came out and took it to us on offense and defense to start the half. By the 12:55 mark we had only scored 5 points and the we were down 15. Offense was really sputtering. Blue and Leffew then start throwing them in from deep and get us right back in it (they hit 6 threes combined in the 2nd half). Problem is, Marquette ended up matching them with 6 threes as well in the 2nd half. SIlas had 2 points and 5 turnovers in the 2nd half alone. He had some moments, but overall a rough day for him. Point guard finsihing with 8 turnovers is never okay and he was also 3 for 10 from the field.

Player Thoughts
Asa is an absulute freak - If you weren't able to watch the game, you might look at the boxscore and see 9 points and 6 boards and think he was bad today. Far from it. He changes everything about our team and when we play good teams like today and he is not in there it is a HUGE deal. He kills himself out there every game defending, rebounding, and just making plays. He is everything you want in someone wearing the G.
Tyrin Lawrence - He has been completely rejuvenated in Athens. Saw him at the end of last year and felt like he had kind of checked out. What he is doing on defense is unreal. Another three steals today. Kid can absolutely finish at the rim.
Cyril - Pretty much a non-factor today. We ended up having to play smaller with James and Godfrey due to what I guess was Cyril not able to step out and gaurd the perimeter and our lack of offense.

We are going to be fine. We are so gifted physically and play so hard that we will always have a chance. The concerning part is our two shooters shot it well and we still weren't able to hang. Our guards have to figure out how to hold onto the ball (team had 18 turnovers). Also, Marquette aint too shabby at all.

Side note: I love our baseline out of bounds plays. Our best offense comes from that. Whatever coach is in charge of that for us, is legit. Been noticing this for a couple pf years with us.

way they approached the Minutemen today we will likely get our asses kicked. OC Faulkner is gonna be all giddy looking at today’s tape. Key is a good - and improving - HC and Blech has improved over the season though they lack Dawgs talent. I’m confident Kirby will be “inspired” this week and DAP to be ready.

I no longer need one. I now need two for Georgia Tech as I’m taking one of my players with me for his first Georgia game. Looking to stay under 250 total for both of them if possible.

If any of you believe our coaching staff planned and prepared for UMass all week, you might want to reconsider that thought.
Our coaches spent time preparing and working on a game plan for Tech.
