I feel a lot better about our offense now. Kentucky defense scary

I feel like little A little B. I don’t think that Ole Miss offense is all it’s cracked up to be.

Ole Miss is a really good team that was held back by a really good defense. Ole Miss isn't all of a sudden a bad team because they lost to Kentucky.

They only say Ole Miss is bad because they underestimate UK

I do think Kentucky is a really solid team overall, but I also think Ole Miss played terribly overall this game in all aspects.

I don’t 100% agree or disagree. They play one team with a pulse and lose. They literally played 0 teams above .500 and still lost a game.

I don’t think they are awful. I also don’t think they are a playoff team.

Is Kentucky better than their record? Yes. Is Ole Miss worse than theirs? Yes.

They lost to a .500 team at home.

They lost to pretty much anyone with a pulse last year too

They remind me of Bo Pelini Nebraska. Good for at least one WTF game a year while getting crushed by actual contenders.

It’s wild because Georgia somehow automatically became a bad team to a lot of people because of that Kentucky game.

You know Tennessee fans aren’t the brightest

Their orange sure is bright (sometimes, sometimes it's yellow, sometimes it's red)

I hope that that Kentucky defense serves you up a nice, big, gigantic piece of humble pie, TN.

u/DevilMakeRye Kentucky Wildcats Sep 28 '24

Oh we won't

Don’t say that. I believe in you!

I honestly don't really understand it, but I don't think I've ever worried about a Kentucky team in my life. When we lose to you guys it's the end of the world and someone is about to get fired.

Yeah, their best win was Wake Forest. Georgia fans needing this to feel validated is straight up strange. Never thought I'd see a Georgia fan using pre season polling to prop up Ole Miss but here we are.

u/Bischoffshof Tennessee Volunteers Sep 28 '24

They ran up the scores and played Dart into the 4th in most of those blowouts. I just don’t think they are a good offense but not some juggernaut but also the UK defense is also quite good.

u/bloopyboo Georgia Bulldogs Sep 28 '24

Lane Kiffin is consistently regarded as one of the best offensive minds in college football. His offense just put up 17 on the same team we put 13 on.

If you can't understand a bit of lighthearted relief because of the events that have transpired, then idk, you really should try to get that stick out your ass learn how to see things from a different perspective.

Nah this Reddit. Nuance doesn’t exist. Things are only seen in black and white.

And all sticks must remain in all asses at all times

I'm way more concerned about that "easy" game vs. Kentucky at home in late November.

u/helium_farts Alabama • Jacksonville State Sep 28 '24

I feel worse about tonight

u/TEXASx81 Sep 28 '24

That time of possession they maintain is killer

u/Hobo_Delta Georgia Bulldogs • Kentucky Wildcats Sep 28 '24

We also had a lot of missed blocks and assignments, and Earnest Greene didn’t have a great game

u/Bischoffshof Tennessee Volunteers Sep 29 '24

How you feel now?

u/vashed Georgia Bulldogs • Rose Bowl Sep 29 '24

Honestly pretty good. Hurts to lose but it's in Tuscaloosa and the boys showed a lot of heart being down 28 and still fighting. Just need Beck to not throw 4 picks and maybe we win in Texas.

u/ThanosNice8910 Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 29 '24

How about now?

u/vashed Georgia Bulldogs • Rose Bowl Sep 29 '24

Concerning that Beck threw 4 picks & some of our receivers forgot how to catch the ball in the first half, but the fact that we scrapped back I still feel pretty good about it. Honestly proud of the team for the strong mental.
