[Kaos]

Great win

We were badly out coached and out played in the 4th.

I don't agree. 

What you saw was a young team that went to the fourth believing its own hype and then crapped the bed a little.  The stadium was in full party mode, the players were dancing, half the media had retired to write headlines about the statement Auburn delivered in abusing Georgia.  At the beginning of the fourth the ball was at the UGA 16, first down. Up 34-17. Hadn't stopped us all night.  Were about to make it 41-17 and set off fireworks. 

Funny thing happened.  Penalty. Penalty. Penalty. Took away a first and goal at the two. Ended up kicking a field goal.  Still 37-17.

Georgia comes out and are just playing out the string.  Trying to get out of there.  Short passes, runs up the middle. We're just keeping it in front of us, letting the clock run and thinking about the awesome parties later that night. And then a facemask penalty (shouldn't have been a 15-yarder but that's another topic).  Hit a pass, score and cut the gap. 

Georgia's still not in it.  Just something to keep it from being embarrassing. 

And then we get nervous. A little tentative.  Freeze up a bit.  Screw up a play that would have gotten a first down and go three and out. 

They get the ball back, hit a 22-yard pass and all of a sudden we're in full freeze mode.  Scared to make a mistake and be the goat. 

And it unravels. 

Outplayed?  Yeah.  Outcoached?  No.  Just a young team growing up. 

We'll learn from it and not get sloppy.  First game all year that Gurley played four quarters and Georgia lost.  That's a big deal.

They're all 15 yards now.

This pretty much sums it up for me. And when Louis sacked Mason we completed the meltdown...but NO!

That's what good teams do and I think we have the people (coaching and players) to do that.

Spot on with what I said.

Going into a bye week, I don't think we could have asked for a better outcome.  The coaches can point to 3 quarters and give the team confidence that they can not only compete with the best teams but dominate them.  Then they can point to the 4th quarter and light a fire under the asses about how they have to finish the game. 

We get a full week to do that without a game to prepare for.  Then we can focus solely on preparing for Alabama.

Nailed it

Grantham and Richt didn't do shit. Thinking either can outcoach Gus is hilarious. If anything gus outcoaches himself at times. We went away from what worked. We keep doing what we did first 3 quarters, it's probably a 48-21 score.

[Jumbo]

We must play 5 great quarters to Beat Bama.

[jmar]

We must play 5 great quarters to Beat Bama.

But what if we only coach four great quarters?  I see potential for a problem here.

I really believe we started testing out plays deep in the playbook around the beginning of the fourth quarter.  We lined up in a formation I hadn't seen before when Marshall dropped the snap. 

[bottomfeeder]

we were also badly out reffed. They get a touchdown that the shouldn't have and apparently anne murray can intentionally ground the ball as well and not have it called.

This wasn't the only game this season that we have had to play against the refs. Just wait until November 30.

Winner winner chicken dinner

[Kaos]

I got one other thought.  Prior to the Murray touchdown that wasn't but was, there was a kid near me who couldn't have been more than 15.  There were several girls. Every single one of them -- EVERY one of them -- was screaming "quarterback draw, quarterback draw, quarterback draw!!!"  I was doing the same. 

Why did Jake hesitate and watch McKinzy take the receiver on the cross, when that was clearly covered?  His hesitation in the middle of the field left it open for Murray. 

If I knew it was coming, children knew it was coming, cheerleaders, old ladies, llamas and arctic squirrels knew it was coming, how did it get missed.

http://sports.yahoo.com/video/georgia-aaron-murray-4th-quarter-115343068.html

Maybe I'm blaming him for something that wasn't his fault and McKinzy should have released the receiver, but it just seems like he waited too long to get where he was supposed to be. 

Also? Holding. Better get prepared for that, though.  Straight up tackling by that UA offensive line is permitted.  It's why their "great" OL prospects bubble out in the NFL.  Can't just grab people at will.

Who knows, On one of the other QB draws he got his jock faked out so bad that he was sitting down as Murray went by him.

He's a team player - didn't want to steal Marshall and Louis's time in the spotlight by making a 4th-down td-saving tackle

I'll be so happy when Holland graduates.

I'll be so happy when Holland graduates.

He most likely will miss it.

Word is he might consider becoming a G.A.

I think he has the technical know how, Seems to be a very smart player. Just doesn't translate to on the field production.

I concur. Good kid, smart and has Auburn in his heart.
