Slow starts?? Major case of recency bias. If anything, the problem was the 4th qtr prior to the 2021 natty.
2017 natty: UGA was up 13-0 at halftime, tyler simmons not offsides
2018 SECCG: UGA was up 21-7 in 2Q, Hot Rod missed FG to go up 24-7
2020 regular season: UGA was up 24-20 at halftime just didn't have the horses to keep up in this game, Bama offense was historically good
2021 SECCG: UGA was up 10-0 in 1Q, then melted down
2021 natty: Bama was up 9-6 at halftime
2023 SECCG: UGA was up 7-0 after one drive, then Amarius Mims got hurt
We've led by 7+ points in every single game. Kirby had good gameplans for every matchup except 2021 SECCG...2023 SECCG plan may have been tossed when Mims got hurt, plus Ladd and Brock were basically on one leg
