Can we all take a moment to appreciate Cash Jones absolutely cooking former 5* Shemar James for that TD yesterday? If you remember, Shemar spurned us on ESD to go play for Billy and the Gators instead..

Funny how things work out sometimes 😁

Our star QB can have an abysmal game and we still beat our biggest rival by two TDs. This a very good team and if Beck gets his mind right there a few teams that can beat us

.

A win is great but my qb having fun playing like that makes me sick. Get better. This level of play will not fly in the postseason.

Stay with me here - UGA loses to Ole Miss and beats UT. Everyone otherwise wins out save Bama v. LSU and A&M v. UT where one must lose.

That leaves you a single 1 loss team in the A&M v. UT winner and five - 2 loss teams:

UGA,
UT,
Ole Miss,
Real UT v. A&M Loser and
Bama v. LSU winner.

What .... a .... mess. I guess Vandy could beat UT or AU beat Bama but what I posted is not unlikely.

as an elite tackler. Arian was tied for 3rd for solo tackles against the Gators with 2. Arian Smith had more solo tackles yesterday than: TID, Stackhouse, Jalon Walker, Malaki Starks, Raylen Wilson. Gotta credit Bobo here as Arian was not an elite tackler under Monken.

Arian’s tackling has become a hidden weapon, kudos to CMB for that.

Conferences are doing a bang up job to discourage this, starting, of course, with our own conferences lack of response to Texas.

I’m gonna wreck some stuff. Already performed a pit maneuver on 2 cars with gator tags. I can’t help on the field but I want to do my part when and where I can.

Give me some other ideas of contributions I can make to the cause.

This is probably day 1 stuff, so sorry for the dumb question. But, do you guys know when we will know when we know what time kickoff for the Tennessee game is?

Google says at least 6 days in advance, but do we get the times earlier?

Eugene Wilson out is massive


Jason Marshall being out is big. He’s played much better this uear


Hoping they don’t get Montrell Johnson back

Their board is standing near a ledge about not having Wilson

may need to be adjusted somewhat. Both times Bobo gets an entire two weeks to hatch a plan and Beck comes right out the gate as an interception machine. Sometimes less is more especially with the interceptions. I’m concerned what kid of scheme Bobo will dream up if we get a bye week in the playoffs.

Imagine saying your defense played good

And you give up 455 total yards


How the hell could you say that about your defense

A good defense gives up 255 yards. Wait oh that’s what Ga defense gave up

Was he banged up coming into the game and any chance he’s a major part of the game plan the next two weeks?

Where is places to watch the UGA ole miss game? The BBQ cooking Dawg is heading up to NYC for first time to eat around the city. But between 3:30 and 7:30 I need to be with Dawg Fans.

Just sitting here thinking about the criticism of the Dawgs after playing our 5th game out of 8 games away from Sanford and how our competition for an SEC championship are doing away from their home stadium. Things may be way better for the Dawgs than they appear.

Bama 3 road games. Best Win Wisc Road losses Tenn and Vandy

LSU 4 road games. Best Win SoCar Road losses Southern Cal and TAMU

OM 4 road games. Best Win SoCar Road loss LSU (home loss to KY)

Tenn 3 road games. Best Win? NC State or Okie Road loss Arkansas

TAMU 3 road games. Best Win Florida Road loss SoCar (home loss to ND)

TEX 3 road games. Best Win? Vandy, Okie, Mich (home loss to UGA)

I guess we can complain about some games not being up to the standard but we're the only SEC team that has played more games away than at home and our only loss was at Bama. We've also played more traditional powers than any other SEC team away from our home field as well. (Bama, Tex, Clemson) At this point, our season is most likely the most impressive in the nation and that's with a QB that has the yips.

Each time Beck threw a pick yesterday and Herbstreit and Fowler froze the play to breakdown what happened there was 7-15 yards of wide open space across the middle for slants or crossing routes.

Nothing wrong with an 8 yds out that with a broken tackle or a jump on the DB turns into a big play.

Give Beck something easy to get going.

It’s possible we unfairly expected Beck to transcend into the next Joe Burrow this year. He was tabbed as a pre-season All American, Heisman hopeful. It’s important to note how many weapons this offense has lost.

Mentally I think he bought in to the hype. He went into his home town expecting to dominate and put on a show. He realized he needed to dial it back and play more conservative in the 4th QTR. It’s a mixture of immaturity, lack of weapons, and probably some poor coaching. If he can get back to playing a bit more conservative, I think we can make a run at a title. If he keeps trying to be a hero, we lose 1 of the next 2 and definitely fall short of a natty.

This has lead to several of the interceptions and stalled drives. Example, IF the safety moves up pre snap the WR runs a quick hitch but if the safety stays back run the quick slant. There are numerous examples of Beck pre snap reading the route one way and the WR reading it the opposite. Either remove the complexity or get Beck and the WRs on the same page.

I just averaged their splits from the last two seasons:

OVERALL AVERAGE STAT LINE IN SEC GAMES (23-24):
Beck: 24-35 (70%), 295 yards, 1.67 TDs, 1 INT, 154 QB rating
Dart: 19-29 (64%), 268 yards, 1.46 TDs, 0.38 INT, 154 QB rating (plus 26 rushing yards per game)

Here is this season only:

OVERALL AVERAGE STAT LINE IN SEC GAMES (2024):
Beck: 25-39 (65%), 297 yards, 1.67 TDs, 1.83 INT, 133 QB rating. (Kentucky, Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State, Texas, Florida)
Dart: 21-31 (66%), 331 yards, 1.80 TDs, 0.20 INT, 174 QB rating. (Kentucky, SCar, LSU, Oklahoma, Arkansas)

And the splits for away/home this year:

2024 Beck in SEC games away from Athens (Kentucky, Alabama, Texas, Florida):
23-39 (59%), 271 yards, 1.25 TDs, 2.25 INT, 115 QB rating

2024 Dart in SEC games in Oxford (Kentucky, Oklahoma):
21-30 (69%), 290, 1.67 TDs, 0.38 INT, 163 QB rating

And finally, a reminder of their head-to-head stat lines last year:
Beck: 18/25, 306 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT
Dart: 10/17, 112 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT

2-3 weeks with an MCL sprain is massively good news. I was not at all hopeful about the MRI.

I was a little shocked how few seemed worried about his injury. He looked the most decisive and explosive he's looked this year vs MSU. We aren't going to survive a CFP with only two backs, or riding Cash Jones, though I love Cash in a third down role.

This is a play in game for them. Win this and they finish 10-2, great chance they get in. Remaining games at Florida and Mississippi State.

While all the criticism regarding the INTs and body language is valid and reason for concern, let’s remember after the last interception Beck was 12-14 for 142 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Let’s not forget almost every game Stetson played in all of us at some point in each big game (outside of TCU) thought that we needed another QB and he wasn’t the man to lead us to a championship. He proved us wrong because he made big plays when it mattered most despite almost costing us victories (Alabama fumble, OSU short arm pass to Ladd).

Beck has a lot to work on, but like it or not, this is his team. We don’t have a backup coming in to lead this team. The positives is he has been pretty damn clutch when we’ve needed him most. He could have packed it in against Bama but led us back in the second half and if Colbie gives any effort at all we would have had a shot to score at the end. Texas, third and clutch right after water bottle gate. Florida 3rd and clutch again to Arian.

We can argue and critique everything he does during the game, but at the end of the day, he’s our QB1 and I like that he’s had to prove himself in difficult situations with our backs against the wall. This could be huge in the stretch run. He’s proven to me that he can step up in the face of adversity and lead us to victory. If he can put it together, watch out college football.
