UGA Football Supporter or . . . .?

If CTG does leave just get a DC that knows how to stop the run and please let him teach how to wrap up when making a tackle.

Gurley told Malcome he was coming to take the starting spot poor guy just didn't believe it.

Wartdawg, just a thought or two on ball control. When we have a back like Gurley, receivers like Mitchell and others, quite frankly a gunslinger like AM, along with Mike Bobo at the controls, hard to play the kind of football that eats time on the clock. Do understand and mostly agree with your post, just need as many are saying, improve the line play and that means offense and defense.

I understand that, but there are times when the offense needs to go conservative and be able
to run clock.

Anyone remember a certain offense ran in the NFL by Warren Moon's Oilers and the Glanville coached Falcons teams. Oh it was great at the "just score" wasn't it? Those teams ran
up and down the field scoring points and setting records right and left...

Did they ever win the big game? NOPE..

Mainly because every season there comes a time when you need to run 5-6 minutes off the
clock. Your D may fail you and you need to bail them out by keeping the other teams
O off the field... or even if the D isn't failing you, you can still end the game by
not giving their O another chance.

Time of possession in the Bama game... we had about 22.5 minutes and they had 37.5 minutes.

Anyone here think our D may have gotten a little worn down, and that might explain the 350
yards rushing we gave up... especially the way we faded in the 2nd half?

I'm all about scoring, but I'm not about a worn out D that can only get off the field for
a minute before they have to go back out there. Oh yeah it's fine if you score TD's every
time, but if you don't and your D can't stop the other guy... not so good.

Go look at a drive chart for that Bama game... when we didn't score, almost all of those
drives were 3 play drives where we only got out D off the field for a minute or less.

Even when Bama didn't score, they usually ran some clock...(we had 7 three and outs, they had 2)

They ran some clock that we could have used to win the game on that last drive.

More D depth.

Maybe Montravious Adams will help a little with that run defense next year..........

Wartdawg, guess the game in Atlanta proves the point that games are won or lost for the most part on having conditioned players and depth.

Good read.

I am watching the Alabama/Notre Dame game again as I post. Pretty much the same points you make in your post about Alabama and Georgia apply to this game. Alabama just plain and simply over powers their opposition. They had a serious problem in the TAM game early on, but they came back strong against Johnny Football and company in the second half.

I am one that also believes that we have some folks, especially on the defensive side that could be playing and being a greater benefit to our team. It sometimes appears to me that the defense is being run like a NFL defense, not a lot of substitutions.

Still digging around trying to find out what the heck is going on with Ramik Wilson. Grantham was hot on Ramik last season, but most of the talk now is about other players on the roster. If we have better than Ramik, not sure that I have seen it at this point. Know some folks from his area in Tampa. Not much being said, but I do have concerns. Kid is a player. Will know more in the Spring.

Again, good post.

Absolutely, but you will never have enough D depth to recover from a 22 to 38 minute
disparity in time of possession. We could have Bama's D depth and not be able to deal
with an almost 2-1 advantage for the opponent.
