1. Gunner's passing was above average to good. Missed some throws late but overall passing was solid. His quickness and speed were both underwhelming and only slightly above average, just not quick or fast enough to get ND defense to back off or account for him.
2. Though #3 really ran well, wish he would have gotten a few more carries. Though he cut and ran better than # 1 most of the game.
3. Fumble by # 1 on first drive was result of # 5 whiffing on a block. Hole was there otherwise. 3-to-7-point swing on that play
4. OL Played horrible on rewatch as well. Fault Bobo and Searles for not chipping the DE and helping the LT out some but regardless, an UNDERWELMING performance by them.
5. We rotated # 5 and #2 at WR more than usual. #2 might develop but can see neither is better than guys starting over them
6. # 7 and #2 had chances to help Gunner out on the last drive. Both passes were catchable, #2 didn't go up strong enough and #7 didn't run thru his route and jumped to early
7. TE room was really a 2nd string guy and two 3rd string guys, none of the 3 were #1 guys. Either our # 4 guy has to move up (I think he is talented and has the size) or one of the Freshmen has to come in and be a difference maker. Overall another average performance by all 3 in blocking and receiving.
8. ND DB's were flying up early to attack the run. Thought we should have taken a few more shots, especially on early downs.
9. Overall the officiating was fine, missing the roughing the punter and calling the sideline penalty was a 3-to-7-point swing overall in game.
10. Kick the ball out of endzone on kickoffs or make it unreturnable, cost us the game
11. Our front 6 or 7 really played well on defense. Got little help from DB's in run support
12. # 3 on defense going out really hurt our defense late, #5 looked slow on some of the kickout runs and couldn't make the plays. Really hoping some of the younger guys step up a MLB next year and can move from side to side.
13. Rant again about our DB's - the corners are horrible in run support and the safeties are very inconsistent. I think # 7 would be better as a 3rd corner or nickel back VS an every down corner. We need to make some wholesale changes there in offseason with positions and personnel.
14. Did you notice that 1/2 of ND's offense ran onto the field thru the defense after the punt team was set. You can come in from the sideline but NOT thru the defense. In essence they were offside. regarldless, the game was over at that point. We couldn't move the ball consistently enough to score 2 TD's in 9 minutes.
Hoping some of the guys coming in or currently in reserve rolls will upgrade our DB;s, TE's and WR core. All 3 groups were significantly off from UGA's standard.
