Game opened with the Gamecocks "stuffing" 8/9 players in the box. Have read elsewhere criticism of our offensive line. Apparently those criticizing have never played a down of football, or if they have, sure as heck have not run blocked or pass protected. I really like reading what the folks here have to say about "most" games, shows that most here are on this board for a reason . . . . understand the game.
Not to start a controversy, but have my doubts about every quarterback remaining in Athens. NFL is big on arm strength, but they do not evaluate upcoming draft choices on arm strength alone. Players want and need to play, not stand or sit on the sideline. Understandable. Do not see our "Jake" turning over the signal calling to anyone, he is not built that way. What is good about that statement? This group of coaches "changed the sheets" when they arrived in Athens.
Defensive line some also like to chirp about . . . . Smart and Company are not going to load the box often, why . . . . don't have to. Kirby wants the opposition to put the ball in the air. Kirby grew up playing and coaching defensive backs, surely learned something in that length of time that is a carry over to 2017 UGA Football coaching. Wartdawg mentioned #13, Jonathan Ledbetter some time back, Have kept my eyes on him since his name came up. Teams do not like to run in his direction. Check the film.
Watched a lot of the Auburn/TAM game yesterday. They have not played a team that is as solid on offense as we are. From what I have watched, we can run or throw on the Gus Malzahn high school type coaching. Looking forward to watching the Auburn crowd leaving soon after halftime. Before halftime would suit me just fine.
