Kirby was yelling you can’t do that. Didn’t they break huddle, lineup to punt and then all run off and the offense runs on. Can you do that? Announcers didn’t address it but Kirby was yelling in the refs ear on the sideline about it.

ND has 17 plays of 30+ yards on the ground this year. They total 862 yards. The rest of their rushing plays are 446 rushes for 2,029 yards or 4.55 yards per carry. That would rank around 60th or so in the country (still better than UGA at 4.2 ypc overall). So ND has a VERY good ground game. But they become ELITE when you factor in the explosives. The real question is can UGA eliminate the explosive plays and make them be patient all the way down the field?

There's been a lot said about Riley Leonard and his potential to hurt us on the ground. Maybe he will. But the only QBs to hurt UGA on the ground have also had the ability to hurt us through the air and I'm not seeing it with Leonard. Consider:

Milroe: 16 runs for 117 yards / 7.31 ypc and 2 TDs
- JM passed 27-33 for 374 yards (11.3 ypa) and 2 TDS

King: 24 runs for 110 yards / 4.58 ypc and 3 TDs
- HK passed 26-36 for 303 yards (8.4 ypa) and 2 TDs

Riley Leonard: Avg. 10.4 runs for 58 yards / 5.6 ypc and 1.2 TDs
- RL avg passing: 16.7-25 for 176 yards (7.1 ypa) and 1.3 TDs
- RL season HIGH in passing is 229 yards against Stanford

ND has played a bunch of bad pass defenses and Leonard still hasn't thrown for 250 yards. If you are one dimensional, a Kirby D will FEAST. And I don't see how Leonard and ND are going to scare the Georgia D through the air. So it comes down to the run game. If the Dawgs don't respect the pass, I don't see how Leonard is going to hurt the Dawgs with his legs.

So....IF the Dawgs can limit the explosive runs from the RBs, I think ND will struggle to move the ball consistently and will struggle to score. That's a big IF though. In case anyone is wondering, Georgia has given up 5 30+ yard runs on the season.

On the other side of the ball, it's worth noting that ND gets HYPED up a ton for their rush D but statistically, it's almost identical to UGA's rush D numbers. Although it's worth noting that they did play Army and Navy who run it well. But they also gave up 200 yards and over 7 ypc to USC who isn't all that great. With a healthy TE and NF plus a newly acquired QB run game, I think the Dawgs can run it efficiently enough to open up some passing.

are NOT the alabama elephants 😂😂😂😂😂

They did, however, break a record.... Ryan Williams has the honor of being the youngest player to ever lose the reliaquest bowl.

😂😂😂😂😂 What a piece of shit football program. I don't want to hear shit about it but mattering & guy sitting out. They had all their starting offense in, including their Heisman QB, effeminate Ryan Williams, & the rest.

I knew the post-Saban dropoff would happen, but I didn't think it would this drastic & this quick. It warms my heart to see that garbage program & their human garbage fans suffer.



PS That bullshit miracle hail Mary pass over sorry Julio Humphrey gets more infuriating each day.

The bitching and moaning the day after a loss. But I do want to shout out one player we all probably cursed at one point for his play down the stretch. Daylen Everette was absolute DAWG in big time games. And I think he played great last night as well. He really improved. We talk about how our secondary looked worse down the stretch but personally don’t think that was the case with Daylen. He made some money

But the reasons we are losing are turnovers and fts. Yes, we're cold shooting, but the game is about even without the turnovers and missed fts. It's embarrassing really. Are we gonna ruin all the hard work we've put in so far this year?

First five minutes of 2nd half will be huge.

The NBA season starts on Wednesday for the Hawks so time for the annual preview.

After coming off a disappointing 36-46 season last year, management correctly decided that the Trae/Murray backcourt was not going to work. Luckily, the Pels decided that they wanted to have Dejounte play PG for them so we got a pretty decent return of Dyson Daniels, Larry Nance Jr, and 2 First round picks (one of which is an unprotected Lakers pick next draft).

The team also decided not to go over the tax line once again which stopped any other major moves apart from Zaccharie Risacher being selected with the overall first pick. While being one of the least heralded first picks in history, Zacch impressed with his mature wing game in summer league and preseason. Along with Dyson, Hunter and the surprise Vit Krejci; the Hawks now have four NBA quality wings in the 6’8” range. Last year they had no depth there and were forced to play the smaller Bogi and Mathews at the three.

Right before the deadline today, Jalen Johnson was extended with a 5/$150M contract that could be a bargain as soon as this season. Jalen can be the 2nd best player on the Hawks this season as long as he keeps improving his game and stays on the court. He’s in line for a 20/10/5 season this year which would put him in All-Star consideration in the East.

Trae Young has become the most disrespected star in the League. ESPN’s top 100 put him at 37 overall which is ludicrous for a 25/10 guy on slightly below avg efficiency. If Trae can get back to positive efficiency then he will be in running for All-NBA like he was in 21/22. That Trae will be needed if the Hawks want to get to the playoffs.

Despite reportedly trying to get off Clint Capela’s contract in the offseason, he ended up staying on the roster. That gives ATL three quality centers on the roster with him, Okongwu and Nance. None of these guys are stars but they can be a top ten center rotation in the League. OO is probably ready for another step up so he needs to get starter’s minutes ASAP.

Overall, this is the best quality depth that the team has had since maybe the 80’s. Bogi is coming off a great Olympics and remains one of the best bench scorers. Hunter is likely never going to live up to his contract but he can definitely be a solid 8th man that can shoot and play against bigger forwards. Vit was a great story last season and the Hawks extended him for basically the minimum for four years.

I see the starting lineup by the end of the season as:
C Okongwu
PF Jalen
SF Zacch
SG Dyson
PG Trae
With Bogi, Clint and Hunter a solid bet trio on the bench. With any injuries; Vit, Nance, and Bufkin will see time. Snyder will probably run a 9 man rotation at the start so it will be interesting to see which of those three will get that last slot. Regardless, the Hawks can withstand injuries apart from Trae this year.

I’ll predict a 44-38 team this season and a return to the playoffs. Quin will be in a position to need to develop Risacher as well as try to win (Hawks gave their pick to the Spurs so no need to tank). Risacher is the key IMO to the Hawks becoming a contender again. He’s likely not going to be a superstar but he needs to slip in that 3rd best Hawk slot eventually. Basically what former number two pick Marvin Williams never became.

While we won’t be a contender this season, this should be a very fun team to watch. Last couple of seasons were a bit of a slog with Murray and Trae clashing on the court so fun will be good.

to the NCship, would think that would make the situation less interesting to a QB looking to portal into a starting job.

Just wondering if that factors into decisions made like the Cal guy going to Indy.
