Greetings, HOB. Good Humpday to ya. I’m back over on campus for today’s practice report as the Cats prepare for a matchup with No. 1 Georgia. We’ll have DC Brad White and select defensive coaches and players meeting with us today at approx 5:30 ET. Stay tuned for the latest news and notes here…
DC BRAD WHITE Q&A:
* On the breakdowns spoiling an otherwise solid performance… Those moments are the ones that change the game. Had several opportunities to change the momentum, and we didn’t capitalize.
* On 3rd and longs… They were 3/10 on day. One of em missed a sack, poor contain. If you do that, the route has a chance to break away. It’s a coverage-beater if that happens. On the other one, it was man coverage, and you have to win your 1-on-1s. Up front and back end. We’re still hurting from last year’s stuff. Makes it worse.
* On BVG’s insight on UGA offense… He has too much to deal with on his side of the ball. You don’t put that on him.
* On UGA’s Carson Beck… Not just him. Really good OL, talented backs, WRs. But he’s as talented a QB as there is in the country. I have to make some calls to help guys at times.
* Is it mental or physical on coverage breakdowns… Mostly mental, guys trying to do more than their job. When they are disciplined and have good eyes, results are pretty good.
* On the comms issue they had… Gotta have visual confirm on the call as well. Comm is me want to assist in it but not be the lone signal.
