Tale of Two Halfs

I stated in another post, wlayton....the O-line seemed fine in the 1st half. Just wondering if maybe they gave up in the 2nd half after Richt showed ZERO confidence in them by punting and kicking a FG on 2 4th and inches in a row???

OL is getting better, but they still have a long, long way to go. Keep pushing. I wish the offense would have performed better in the second half. I was very impressed by the way they played the 1st. Not going to blame the OL for the 2nd half totally. Somehow, CT and RS were able to find space to run. IC has to play 2 halfs and I haven't seen him do it yet. Looked like he was playing slower the 2nd half again. Keep pushing yourself youngster. Going to be a good one.

I do wish Richt had gone for it on 4-1, but I can understand why he kicked the FG. That would have made it a 3 TD lead. AM has got to stop staring down receivers. Developing a very bad habit. Lot of negative in the 2nd half from the offense. All been covered, but I am going to praise the last drive. Great 4 minute offense.

GO DAWGS

Maybe Mullen made a few adjustments at halftime......wouldn't take much because our OL is very average. Don't believe they quit, they aren't that good that we can see the difference.

Reminded me of the Central Florida game. A win is a win, granted, but there's a time when you instill confidence by challenging a team. Some would say Coach Richt is trying to give Walsh his confidence back. I say he might be putting too much pressure on Walsh. I don't know what goes on in a kicker's brain. A shame that they decide so many games.

I guess I didn't state it right wlayton, I meant the whole offense may have subconsciously given up, not just the O-line.

Well, that OL is 90% of the battle.
