Might be beating a dead horse here, but after digesting the game for a couple of days, I have a few thoughts.

- Kentucky absolutely played a physical game, as is often the case in the SEC (NOT pounding the SEC chest with this, it's just a fact)
- That being said, I don't want to discount how poorly Georgia played by saying, "give Kentucky credit." I'm not slandering Kentucky, but that shouldn't have been a close game. For most of that game, Georgia was clearly not mentally in it.
- Because they weren't mentally in it, fundamentals broke down in many areas: blocking, tackling, maintaining pursuit integrity, QB properly going through progressions
- The good news is this is ALL fixable. It absolutely isn't a talent issue, despite what some might suggest
- Always better to come out on top in games like this. The issues that plagued the game would have been the same with a loss, might as well win
- I still believe Georgia has one of the best rosters in the country with the best coaching staff and can be a national champion
