1) A good doctor made an interesting observation on the Post Game Overreaction Show. The Georgia defense did not allow Notre Dame into the red zone once and yet Notre Dame put up 23 points. The fumble at the 13 yard line before the end of the first half and the KO return for a TD were killers in a game where the offense revealed every weakness that plagued this team all year. 1 minute of miscues in the middle of the game changed thee entire game.
2) The penalty called against #39 that negated the big play was a bush league call by the official. Was the kid in the white? Barely. What is the official doing running so close to the sideline boundary? A warning would be sufficient IMHO.
3) The OL was the healthiest it has been all year. I really thought Georgia would dominate the LOS as a result. And yet this is the worst the OL has looked all year. If Searles is still on staff next year, then then that is gross staff mismanagement by KS.
4) There needs to be a mass overhaul of the offensive staff, except Hartley and maybe Coley (just because he is one of the best recruiters in the business - I know many want Coley gone too). The OL performance is malpractice. The RB recruiting and performance is malpractice. And playing the same WRs despite dropping passes, when you have talented young guys sitting on the sidelines, is malpractice. I don’t care how fast Smith is or how versatile Bell is. If you can’t catch the ball, then the other stuff is meaningless.
5) What is going on with bad season ending RB injuries? Is it strength and conditioning? Or are the coaches signing the wrong guys? Or is it just bad luck? I know all programs deal with injury at that position but to that extent? It’s just concerning.
6) There seemed to be a lack of unity and leadership on a consistent basis. This team showed flashes of greatness but something just seemed off with this team. It wasn’t a super talented team but Georgia had a better roster than ND. Some on here have stated that there might be a culture problem at Georgia.
Regarding the CFP:
1) every team with a bye lost and did so in a big way. Now, some of that has to do with seeding. There is no doubt that Penn St had the easiest path to the semifinals. Ohio St is the best team in the country right now. Texas is largely lucky as hell. But ND looked like a team that benefitted from playing a game while Georgia sat at home. They also benefitted by getting extra rest by not playing in a conference championship. So they got good rest and a home game against a week opponent to shake off the rust.
2) Sticking with that theme -The first two rounds need to be played on campuses. Is it really a reward to win your conference and the play your first playoff game at a neutral site, while your opponent got to knock off the rust in a home game against a weak G5 opponent? Both the B10 and SEC Champ were given probably the most difficult path to the semis.
