Keys to beating UGA
- Thread starter maroon79
- Start date
1. Bring 55 gallon drum of whoopa$$
2. Open drum!
3. lay it on them.
OLINE do what they did last week but just a little better.
DLINE reek some havoc.
Strip sack / INT / TO on downs
Keep UGA defense off balance with a balanced attack. Make them 2nd guess themselves.
Do not let up like Stoops likes to do. If we get a lead and are doing x (run / pass / whatever) then continue x till UGA sees x in their nightmares.

Beating number 1 would be so freakin' incredible! Still a part of me would rather have a beatdown of Nick Satan at home.
Give me Robinson and his connection with Leary but of course I'll take whatever gets the W.
I’ve said this to people predicting we win on a last drive field goal. That won’t happen. We need to beat them like we did Florida to win. On a last drive field goal the officials drop 7 flags for holding on us and there are only 6 officials. The last flag will come floating down from the SEC luxury box. I want to win sooo badly but I’ve seen enough over the last 10 years in America. Everything is about money. Everything. To believe big time athletics is an honest game is just nonsense. If Alabama or someone in the west was dominating and could make the playoffs our chances would be better tomorrow. No Team out of the west can carry the SEC to the playoffs. Georgia is the leagues only hope in their eyes. The game will be completely biased with Georgia receiving all 50-50 calls. To win. We gotta beat that.
Ta
Tackle Biwers low. He will stiff arm you into the ground!!
1. Prevent player injuries - lets face it, Georgia is gonna hit hard.
2. Keep Georgia guessing our offense.
3. Need Confidence in throwing and running the ball.
4. Defense skills are far ahead of offense based on past games....Don't let Georgia get comfortable.
5. Irritate Georgia on offense and defense, this is a winnable game.

On paper, this game does not look like a very good tactical matchup for us on first blush. GA's offense has been significantly more productive than ours has been. GA's third down conversion efficiency has been significantly better than ours, and GA's efficiency in the red zone has been far better than ours. GAs defense has been intercepting more passes than ours has.
Other than that, the two defenses have been roughly comparable. The two teams also have identical turnover margins.
But there are two stats that might bode well for UK tonight. For one thing, UK's defense has created significantly more sacks than GA's defense. Another thing - and this is potentially big - UK's defense against the run has been considerably better than GA's (although GA's hasn't been bad).
We have Keeshaun Silver and Deone Walker on our DL, and they are very hard to move. Our LBs are downhill playmakers, and two of them (Jackson and Wallace) grew up in GA. I mention this because our LBs will be motivated tonight. If our defense against the run can control GA's running game without having to move one of our safeties up into the box, then we can force GA's offense to be one-dimensional and we can attack GA's offensive pocket.
Something to keep in mind, as well. Todd Monken left for the NFL. Coach Bobo is not as innovative as Monken was. So there's that.
See above, where I discussed earlier yesterday why last night's game was not a good matchup for UK on paper. We had just one big advantage in this game, and that was the stout run defense Silver, Hayes, Walker, Saunders, and Oxendine had been enforcing up until yesterday. Throughout our first five games, our defense against the run had been considerably better than our defense against the pass. This is a statistical fact, and we have discussed it before. From the very first game, I and others have mentioned our inexperienced CBs as one of the team's limitations. They will improve with more snaps.
Reasonable people will give some credit to Kirby's staff for putting together an excellent offensive game plan. The Dogs never even tried to run at Walker and Silver. They were too smart to waste offensive snaps that way. From the beginning, the Dogs ran the football on the edges and, more often, threw the ball over the top of our defense They executed their game plan very well, which was made even easier by having elite receiver Brock Bowers. And BTW, Carson Beck entered yesterday's game as one of the SEC's top passers. He was brilliant yesterday.
This morning, the fellowship of the miserable are out in force because we lost to the #1 team in the country, the two-time national champions, on their own field. They are ecstatic, because this is their first opportunity of the 2023 season to push their negative agendas and spew their venom. These are mainly unhappy people, disgruntled former boosters, and naive people who believe UK has an obligation to entertain them every week. Don't listen to them. The SEC is the best and most difficult college football conference, and GA has earned our respect. I would prefer a perfect undefeated season every year, of course. But I live in the real world, so I do not lose sight of the progress that has been since Hal Mumme and Claude Bassett landed us on NCAA probation and, particularly, since Joker Phillips' 2-9 season in 2012. In the real world, there are always lots other people who want to succeed in competitive environments. They can't all succeed at the same time. That's competition, and it gets tough sometimes. The progress Stoops has made is amazing, but yesterday was a setback. That's how it works in the real world. When things get difficult, some people chicken out while others persevere and become more determined. That's just how it is. So don't listen to the chickens.

LOL! That obviously isn't what I did. I took the time to repeat publicly available statistics. Oh my! As angry posters sometimes do here, you are escalating a statistical analysis into personal attack against the presenter of the stats. But I don't receive or ask for credit for the fact that our team didn't match up well with the #1 team in the country on their own field. I wish it wasn't so. It was just a statistical fact that anyone could have looked up. If you choose to ignore these facts so you can pursue your tin eared negative agenda, that is on you. Apparently I hit a nerve with you by mentioning the fellowship of the miserable.
The UK game was the first game of the season we used a verticle passing game. We would throw multiple WR screens and run the ball in the A gaps. But either Bbo decided to go with t h more vertical routes or Kirby helped him decide. That certainly wa a nt on our film and could have been a little surprising for UK,was to me.
Pregame talk.
I see Walker brought his can, who has the opener. Oh heck we in trouble. Leary and the offense found that UGA actually had a larger can of whoop on them and UGA offense giggled at the fact that UK forgot the can opener.
Oh well. On to the next. Lets just hope we can hang with Mizzou. If not we are in for a long 2 months.
