that may or may not have made a difference. 5 of their best offensive players being out definitely did.
Na UT just owns GA. Even when we are outmatched we can beat them.
While I agree that UT does not have the same mental block about UGA that they have about UF and Bama, I would hardly say that losing the last 4 consecutive matchups is "owning" UGA...and I say this as a UT fan.
Hey custeph, Pollack doesn't think you would do well on the selection committee.
Hey David Pollack,
Just put people on the committee who know football. Granted, I know that men know more about football, but I also know an assload of woman who are just like me.

From 89-99 they didn't beat us. We own GA and we used to own Bamako. UF is the only team we always struggle with.

Pollack himself even said he was gonna put his foot in his mouth. He should have just let it go.

Fair enough, you are definitely correct from a historical perspective. I don't know how much that history will help us going forward, however. It doesn't mean much to kids who were born in the 90s.

That's the part that got me the most. "I know what I am getting ready to say is kind of wrong, but I am going to say it anyway."
He had a point. Going for it on 4th down, in the first half, up 35-7? Sounds like trying to run it up to me.
One of the recap shows mentioned this. Their main thought was, as nice as the idea of not running up the score to be fair is, Clemson is still in the midst of a national title hunt. They have to put up big numbers on teams that they can put big numbers on in order to look good for the polls especially when the team at #2 (Oregon) has yet to score less than 55 points in a game. This is kind of multiplied for them especially given that the ACC is not the hottest football conference and Clemson is not a name that people have been talking about for years.

I don't even think it was about that. you want to score as much as you can in the first half, always. it wasn't running it up at all. they went for it because either we were going to get the td or that was going to end the half. Dabo said he didn't want to kick a fg and then kick the ball off to them.
First off, sorry Dave, that was a close one. Good game. best part of the blocked punt and TD, was the two pancake blocks that georgia received. I think one was the punter. We all know the only reason UT was in that game had nothing to do with UGA and all to do with the smoke grey jerseys. I could feel it here in Florida, that stadium was rocking! But you know why UT lost, because your defense has a package called the, Smurf package! Seriously, how bad ass can you be with the smurf package?
Next, I would put Custeph on that committee before I put Sang on that committee. Sang, I do not think you understand certain football lingo and have a unique ability to mis interrupt things. Saying Clemson was using backups, which I am assuming you are saying 2nd string players, when the score was 21-0 and then saying it is the first half and you want to score as much as possible, is contraditing. I agree you want to score as many points as you can, but that is not your goal if you are using"backups". Also, you are not using "backups" in the 1st qtr, when your starting QB and RB and WR are in the game at the end of the 3rd qtr. I believe what you refer to as using back ups, is what we call substitutions. Every team does it. You sub in and out players so in the 4th qtr every one has fresh legs. If you want to win the football game, you get points when you can, even if it is only 3pts, even if it is at the end of the 1st half. Why would you not take 3 points? Saying you do not want to kick a FG and then give them the ball at start the second half is about as mush BS as Coach Brown saying #1 was just "competing" when he took a cheap shot at the Iwoa St players knees in the endzone, after the TD and after the whistle. It seems like to me, if you are stopped on the goal line, that gives the opposing team some momentum going into the half, which one would rather not do. Take your 3 pts. if you want to impress the voters, then you skip FG and try for TDs and that is what Dabo did. I have no problems if a team runs up the score, this is not power puff, if your team can not take an a** whipping, then do not suit up. Just if you are going to do that, then embrace it and do not make excuses about doing it.
Dave Maynar, I did not get to see the game, but what a heartbreaking way to lose. In a sense I'm glad UGA is still undefeated, but damn, Tennessee should have won that.

Do you mean undefeated aside from the Clemson loss? In that case, I am glad someone outside the SEC finally understands strength of schedule.

Err, yes, undefeated since the Clemson game is indeed what I meant.
I could feel it here in Florida, that stadium was rocking!
That's what I am saying. The stadium felt different this time in a way it hasn't felt in too long.
But you know why UT lost, because your defense has a package called the, Smurf package! Seriously, how bad ass can you be with the smurf package?
Haha. The name is not that intimidating, but the theory is sound at least.

Dabo substitutes differently than most do. there have been features on it during the broadcasts. He has a philosophy that if everyone plays they will all be more involved and team morale will be higher. For instance, he may be have the entire 2nd string line in the game on the 3rd drive. In one game he did this, he said "it doesn't matter if we're up 14-0 or down 14-0 this is what's happening". Most teams leave their starters in for the majority of the game. they will build the lead up to a certain point and then they put in the backups. we are playing backups a lot earlier. that was my point. we could probably be scoring 70 a game if we didn't do this. He doesn't try to run up the score on anyone. Was he trying to score there? Of course he was. but it wasn't because he was running up the score. We had just missed 2 other opportunities to score when we made a fg, but had a penalty and had to punt and then we threw an interception. So he was trying to add on one more td before the end of the half. If we had scored you probably wouldn't have seen Boyd or Watkins in the 2nd half. He feels comfortable doing that at 42-7. Most other coaches are going to play those guys till the end of the 3rd quarter, like FSU did. Dabo would never do that.
The Florida St. at Clemson game on Oct. 19th will start at 8 p.m., and will be televised nationally on ABC.
Hooray! Stanford and UCLA is the only other game that week that looked like it would compete for the primetime slot, and I would much rather watch Clemson and FSU.
Georgia narrowly wins on the road over a middle tier team. "Oh what poise and focus!" Clemson narrowly wins on the road over a middle tier team. "I guess they really aren't that good."

I just had a conversation last week with a co-worker where he said the idea of Tajh Boyd being a) a Heisman contender or b) a legit NFL prospect was ludicrous. "Who does he play for? Clemson? Pfft. Clemson's no good."

I'm just glad they quit saying SEC speed. that was the worst. we're faster than every SEC team.
