How come Georgia runs it up the middle for a win, but we get stuff 3 times???

I guess cause that's our only short yardage play?

Moss was hurt. Etienne is not.

The box wasn't full of dough that play.

Klein, Elko, We are TAMU

I formation, everybody in tight, a quarterback whose throwing arm is so badly dinged he dropped it to his side immediately after the snap and handed off with his left hand. Everyone in the stadium knew the play call. I haven't seen the replay, but it sure looked at the snap like the t.u. defensive alignment didn't look very much like the one that stuffed A&M.

Not at all.

Like they thought he was going to pass it.

Because by that point in the game tu's defense was gassed.

A&M ran it from the first quarter to the 4th quarter. It doesn't take a genius to know what A&M was going to run!

That's not right though, he pivoted around and handed it off with his throwing arm so they could run left of center. Texas was aligned expecting right of center because they didn't expect him to hand off with his bad arm.

If it didnt work do you call for the OC's head?

Cause our Oline is softer than what is in my son's diaper

For everyone saying Moss being out prevented our 4th down conversions against Texas


I agree Moss being healthy would have been very helpful. But I recall Daniels getting hit soon after the handoff. I really don't think the RB was the main issue down the stretch.

Losing RB1 and RB2 hurt but IMHO losing C1 and C2 hurt much more. What probably hurt the most was the inexplicable play call. Play action RPO of some kind would have been better. Hindsight is 20/20 to be sure though.

UGA held and set the edges to keep the t-sip DEs / LBs from crashing in to disrupt / make the play.

The old Jimmy's and Joe's vs x's and o's. We just don't have them. Yet

Look how hard Etienne was running & then go back & look how hard Daniels was running.

Everything
Their play had the threat of tossing to the a TE and wasn't completely predictable
Their line held blocks and created an initial hole.
Their RB broke tackles to reach the end zone.

tu definitely got caught off guard. Should have called a timeout. With one armed Belk coming back in it had to be a run. Didn't look like they were in their goal line/short yardage defense.

This. We had the TD if it wasn't for the DEs being able to crash down.

They a better oline

Let's see….

t.u. beat us in the trenches, surprisingly on both sides

UGA beat t.u. In the trenches, both sides, two games

t.u. is likely gonna put around 10 players into the NFL draft, for the 2nd year in a row

UGA is gonna put around 10 players into the NFL draft again, pretty much like clockwork ever since Kirby got it rolling there

We're gonna put in maybe 3 or 4? Which has pretty much been our norm since we joined SEC

It's not that F'n hard to figure out.
All this "we have plenty of talent" talk is absolutely absurd

No, we ran it up the middle in previous games and failed then too.

When you scout a team you look for tendencies. When it is third and less than one, or fourth and less than one we've ALWAYS ran it between the tackles.

In my opinion if you're going to play four downs, on third and short you take a chance every now and then and Go deep so in the future you keep the other team honest.

Dude, even Barry Sanders wouldn't have got positive yards on our calls.
Neither would Christian Okoye, Earl Campbell, or Refrigerator Perry, if you want more power.

We got stuffed for a loss of nearly 2 yds.
Because our OLine got blown the F up all game

We're not GA. But if you watch TE goes in motion and the left guard pulls left. Both seal the edges. Better play. Textbook Mike Bobo. Then again, GA fans have been calling for his head. Sips ran the exact same stack they did on us. I'm sure GA scouted that. We ran some kind of tackle trip bs, witch left a hole and edges open.

It's as if people thin "running it up the middle" is a play call.

There are literally 100 different ways to attack a defense "up the middle" and I'm quite confident that if you analyze our running game all season, the majority of our rushing yards came "up the middle." Same would be true for probably every team in college football. "up the middle" is the fastest and most effective way to attack a defense running the ball.

But when you don't use creativity in your approach and are completely predictable... you get what we got.

It felt like the old high school football coach yelling at his team "if we can't move the football 1 foot even when they know its coming... we don't deserve to win.." And that dogmatic, stubborn approach got us what it got us.

Because they didn't have a tight end blocking their edge rushers.

Great response, I agree. I think Klein can be very creative at times, but sometimes he empties the well of a play too much.

Simply not true.

I would argue we got too creative/cute with our calls against Texas...

4th and 1 in the first quarter.... we come out in tackle over, and run away from our overload with Theo blocking Sorrell 1v1? Doesn't seem like a recipe for success.

Last goal line stand... we get stood up on inside zone twice, so we decide to run a counter under center with no threat of a read, so the unblocked backside end and can scream in and make contact 3 yards in the backfield.

Don't love the calls.

Do we scout ourselves? If that's not part of game planning that's a big hole in getting things right.

fire Klein, he is a clown...use that QB that has heft of 300 lbs to move few inches... practice 4th down attempt...over and over
