GBO! If we hold Bennett under 40 yards rushing, and Bowers and Washington only score three combined TDs we'll be fine.

There will be a nominal charge for further statements of the obvious.

Hoo boy, here we go.

Late bold pregame prediction: Hooker rushes for 150/2 today, and that's the difference. :powert:

No Turnovers today Vols. They equal loss. Make UGa have them.

There ya go! Turnover UGa

Nice kick! Thought we'd go for it.

Ok, didn’t like my thread eh
Jeesh

Chase drew that kick, nice draw

Tackling not good

where was the LDE??

Grr. I hate those stupid scrambles.

We must have posted at the same time. Tis better to have more threads than none IMHO.

yup

but if we could stop Bryce from doing that, we should be able to stop that Greg Brady look alike uga has as a QB

I think he snuck that one in on us

8:32 to play 1st quarter and that smarmy, arrogant Gary Danielson is already annoying beyond belief.

Defense not good
Gashing us inside
Coverage hasn’t been bad overall
Backs are running with their receivers

Did We run a Stunt on the left side, it just crashed inside it looked like from the other end of the field

Offensively we aren’t getting the outside receivers open

Hyatt ran right at me, was open but …

He hurt himself on the fall
Probably be ok but was a bit gimpy

Three procedure penalties in the first 10ish plays is not helpful.

Haden in for Turnage
Walker in at Star

He seemed to have a good head of steam. OL blocking seems solid thus far.

Whew. Nice UGA drop.

Gary and Nessler their usual terrible selves.

I have them on mute.

And whatever just transpired is supremely unhelpful.

Looked like a safety to me

I do not understand the play calling. At all.

Gotta be a safety

Nice rest for the defense though

Probably, but we will see

CBS took SO long looking at the "fumble" at the goal line. And the whole time I'm thinking "I'm not sure his arm was going forward". :frown:

We might have been better to take a safety there.

Like wise for me. We will take it though.

Slaughter got slaughtered

Walker at safety for Tank

Late in coverage

it was a safety per rule

Ok, weather the storm and come out fighting

Slaughter's feet looked stuck in quicksand. Oh well, he's learning to position. Gotta punch back.

Maybe.  They likely also get a short field on the pooch punt after the safety.  But maybe not as short.

Uh Oh. That backside D is rearing it's ugly head. Gotta cover them.

We’ve lost our composure

Tank running like a tank

Our DBs once again seem to be shod in Nike's concrete line.

That was the worse quarter, by far, we’ve had this year

I love our offense but D still wins championships. I hope we can prove that old adage wrong. Got 3 quarters to get it done.

they are throwing g away from Haden
I’d rather have Walker or Slaughter at SS than Tank

Whether we did it, or they did it, we've been punched in the mouth. Hooker is holding the ball too long, too.

Losing the one off scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

Well thrown ball

It’s a total effort. Every unit is playing sub-par and coaches are tight. Losing is one thing but it will be unfortunate if we finally battled our way onto this stage only to be routed.

our receivers aren’t really getting open

The only one getting off press coverage is Hyatt

Ced is not a factor
Bru been targeted?, don’t thinks so

Pitch a fit Kirby, it WAS a penalty!
STFU!

They are covering us pretty well also though

Hooker did miss a probable TD to Hyatt, but that happens sometimes

On the first play of the drive Hyatt had beaten his man

They do have some athlete's on D. They always do. We have done good with the personnel and talent we have on D. I knew if the offense was off our D can't keep us in a game.

From the OL to the OC to the QB, our offense was not ready for this moment.  :frown:

 :frown:

Is that five procedure penalties? My goodness.

Oh well. Hopefully everyone keeps their composure.

Ced ran a couple good routes that drive

That is on the coach. Maybe we will get back in it though. No way to win any championships with the D we have. Offense can't be on every game.

It all depends on the LOS. So far they own it on both sides of the ball.

Not even close!! I don't even recognize our offense....I got into a argument this week with a guy that said with our offense we didn't need any defense....Told him he's nuts. UGA hasn't even broken a sweat so far.

Nice coverage by Slaughter

We covered well that drive
Keep it up
Put on more steam

Nice job D!  Let's go get one and change this game around!

Hooker forced it
Ced was NEVER open the entire route

Good grief Danielson is a fizzleing clown. Blows my mind that some of y’all defend him.

Hooker in his Pitt mode, forcing things to Ced

Never looked left where he had Hyatt

Just got a first down.  :banghead:

Tennessee is a better team without Tillman and it’s not even Tillman’s fault. Hooker has a little too much faith in him.

On first down out tackles got good penetration and he ran between them

Upper body injury

We just ain't as physical in the same places that UGa is physical. Basically all of them. I hope Heupel recruits some physical defensive players.

Middle of the zone yet again

Games reminds me a lot of the Pitt game.

yep

Against a far better team

Pitt put pressure on HH and almost beat us. UGA ain’t no panther.

UGA getting pressure without the blitz, also.

Other than the one pass he stumbled on Slaughter has played pretty good

Welp. Idk what Hooker is seeing but he ain't himself. Don't think our D can hold up. Might get ugly. And the playoff poll didn't do us any favors.

Defense
No pressure, the one to
E we got pressure we allowed him to score
They are running g on us consistently

Linebackers not good

Secondary has been beat a lot but is still playing better than they have
When we play zone it is like Waving a red cape with our slow ass safeties
When we play one deep safety it would be helpful if they moved to the ball

Offense
Hooker’s worse game.period.dot
OL not good
RB ok, not got much room to run
WR Improving after a poor start

Coachi g has flat been poor IMO

Is Fant hurt?
Only saw him in for a couple plays
Warren getti g a lot of PT and actually doing well

Kirby no doubt studied the Pitt game closely

Really makes a difference to have a balanced team. Is a coach good if he just emphasizes the offensive side of the ball. Has there ever been a great coach that just preaches offense. Do they ever really win titles? Look at Leach. I would not call him a great coach. I want Huepel to be more than that. Hope he puts some emphasis on defensive side of ball in his future recruiting endeavors. He better. He's in the SEC now. Sure we are fun to watch. But not too much today. The D doesn't have slumps. He will get better. Our offense has been embarrassing teams. UGa's defense has been embarrassing us so far. A comeback win would help make us forget all that though. Go Vols! Already been  a great season.

Just watched the replay of their QB scramble for a TD
WTF was Baron doing?
 :loco:

Team looks lethargic coming out of the tunnel

Well that's a discouraging update.

that injury looks fake to me

but if not, losing Beale is a pretty big deal

Turned it off to lower blood pressure. Hopefully we can do something cosmetic to the score.

I shall check in later tomorrow when I am less frustrated.

Ced limped off but just came back in
Hyatt May have had a cramp
He went back in to the WR huddle after came off

I really don’t have that option

Hooker... Throw it away maybe?

Hooker doesn't like to throw the ball away.  He doesn't need to take too many hits.

Worst case scenario, we should still finish 11-1. How many of us would have taken that to begin the season? 🖐️

Hooker is hooked into looking to the right again

He took one anyway.

Also, on the 3rd down he stepped up into the rush
The guy that tackled him had been blocked to the ground

Whatever they've done took him completely off his game.

Turnage and Slaughter are the corners

Man to man, bringing pressure with more talent than us at every position.  Thought we’d have a better plan than this.  Clearly, we ain’t got the mojo today.

They’re kicking our butts.

Yep. The interior lineman for them that returned from injury has been big.

One thing is certain to win the SEC we got to recruit some defensive help. This UGa program and staff will be in our way for a long time. Gotta get better.

yup!  And wins over both bammer and UF for first time since 2004.  It will be a very successful season regardless how this one turns out.

What dies 8 false starts have to do with Tilmam

Snap the goddam ball!!! Set. Snap!

You cannot audible & have extended snap counts in loud environments. Happens all the time.

Would better to just go on the snap

Bru missed a big catch on that last series.

Can't hear extended count.

Hooker has missed both Hyatt and Bru on TD passes.  In the Hyatt case, maybe just in the red zone, the guy could have made the tackle maybe.

But close to having two long TD passes and only down 7.  That's how it goes sometimes.

Need  a TD on this drive to recover some confidence.  Then onside kick.   :biggrin:

Well we scored a TD
IT STOPPED RAINI G

Hooker’s worst game of they year. The other was Pitt. The common denominator was pressure.

Right. Should we not have rolled him out some? Is that not part of his game? It was apparent at 14-3 what we were doing wasn't going to work.

well poop

Hooker was hurt on the sack

Probably ok

You can't take a sack. Just throw it. Even if they intercept it, so what? Throw it straight up into the air and let them fight over it.

But you can't take a sack.  :frown:

All the talking heads and film experts have stated that the key to stopping Tennessee is to pressure Hooker

bammer's mistake was being arrogant enough to think they could do it with just their front 4.  They only blitzed 5 times.  Uga blitzed roughly every other play.

In spite of which, Hooker missed wide open guys way down the field three times. In fairness, on one of those he got hit.

Anyway, let's rub some dirt on it and move on.

The Vol offense would but 70 on the Vol D

Vols need to win and not spiral. Can't wait to see how we snap back. Don't spiral against Mizzou.

UGA's offense is ranked #2 in the country, behind UT, and scored 27 today. Vols defense got burned some early, but settled in and played well enough to win. It's time to give those guys some credit.

WADR, UGA went into clock burning mode.  The could have scored a ton more. 

Agree Creek. This game could have been 50-3 or something. Proud they didn't fold.

Held the ball too long in the end zone, and several other times. Had just scrambled for 1st down & threw the very I'll advised pass to Tillman. I'm a little shocked they seemingly had no plan B. Oh well. If you had asked me if I'm thought we'd be 8-1 after today the answer would have been no.

Yes. they did slow them down some.

UT won't lose to Mizzura at home dipshizzle.

Take away the two Bennett throws that our DBs got burned on early, and the missed sack on Bennett's 3rd and long TD scramble, and this game looks much, much different.

Ifs and buts and merry Christmases and all that; UGA was clearly the better team today. But our defense is leaps and bounds better than it was against Florida early in the season and doesn't get enough credit for the improvements that have been made. We have a lot of deficiencies on that side of the ball. But I've said in the past that I'm not sure Tim Banks is the guy we need at DC if we're going to return to true national prominence, and he's slowly changing my mind.

agree...our D has improved week to week.  Hope they continue to do so.

I think our defense has improved. Having said that, UGA was very vanilla in the second half imo.

To me Hooker doesn’t look really comfortable thrown from out of the pocket. Maybe I’m not remembering some throws that he’s made on the move, but I don’t recall any.

Right, but instead he stood there and looked like a statute over & over & over again. I hate it when a coach or player get set in "their" style. Oh well. There is a reason for I'm on the couch & the coaches are coaching.

I’m no football coach either. That’s certain. I just wonder if they lack confidence in his ability to throw on the move/put it the pocket. I certainly don’t remember seeing it very much. If they do, there’s likely a reason for it?  🤷🏼‍♂️

Hooker is not all that throwing on the move...95% of the time if he moves he's running. I've never understood why he takes the snap at the 4-5 yard mark and never drops in order to step up and throw.....Standing flatfooted and not stepping into throws can make it sail which he has a habit of doing.... He just stands there...stands there on a spot and throws. It works if his short pocket is clean but like today...it was far from it. Just a odd technique.

Agree completely.

With the push that the UGA D line was getting, they were in his face really quickly tonight.

In the SEC show this morning, Tebow pointed out that the uga DL has been getting a nice push all season and picked the dawgs accordingly.  Unfortunately he was right  :doh:
