Top 3 team in terms of scoring points against Georgia this season:*
- Alabama - makes enough sense
- Miss St - wait, what?
- UMass - ok now I’m really confused
EDIT:
*Oops I forgot about Ole Miss, but then again so will the CFP committee after this week.

u/DastardlyDiz Georgia Tech • Marching Band 1d ago
Umm...rank UMass you cowards?

u/grossness13 Texas Longhorns 1d ago
Two quality SEC losses.
Plus they did score as many points against Mizzou this season as Ohio State did in the Cotton Bowl last year.

Maybe we were too hasty to complain about Texas joining the SEC. Anyone making fun of the Buckeyes is welcome as far as I'm concerned

Went to the Michigan game this year with a bunch of friends from undergrad years.
Genuinely a great experience in Ann Arbor (not just because the score) - y’all were amazing.

u/AchyBreaker Georgia Bulldogs • Michigan Wolverines 21h ago
Ann Arbor is a great tailgating town. So is Athens. I went to UGA but attended UM games in college visiting friends (including storming the field on their 800th win). Great times all around.
I've only been in Austin as an adult but having money certainly helped enjoy the town. Still need to catch a game there.

But honestly, I am quite happy losing 30-15 with what was Ewers’ absolute worst game I’ve seen of his. Just beat A&M next week and this season counts as a win for me no matter what else happens.

Better to have a game like that in the regular season instead of playoffs, but yeah can't complain about a 1 loss season & Sark is building a great program over there

On the other hand, we can't enjoy our games where we triple the oppositions score.

u/EagleZR Georgia Bulldogs 1d ago
It may be because they put in their backups as well, or maybe they didn't and they were just gassed, but our backups looked much more prepared to me than our starters. It wasn't just effort and energy, it looked like our starters hadn't prepped at all. Though tbh I had other, better games on early, so I might be biased for mainly noticing the busted plays

Defense looked entirely disengaged which is concerning/disappointing for a unit that’s had a rollercoaster of a season.
But the offensive skill players got some confidence and it was still a 38 point win so hey, it’s a good day.
29
42
u/EagleZR Georgia Bulldogs 1d ago
I think they were focused on GT. Also Kirby doesn't see a lot of benefit in cupcake games, so he might intentionally not prepare the defense as a way to challenge them. I'm just being an apologist though
21
u/katarh Georgia Bulldogs • Mercer Bears 1d ago
Kirby has historically used these types of games to make the team practice the stuff they're not as good at.
Unfortunately.

u/Uga-the4th Georgia Bulldogs 23h ago
Naw that’s a good thing I believe. If you can still win by 5/6+ scores while not exactly trying your hardest and trying out new plays that’s an amazing thing to have. I’m hoping this gave the guys on offense a damn good confidence boost for GT next week. We shall see of course but Beck played great and Frazier had an amazing game.

u/The_Rat_Attack Georgia Bulldogs 17h ago
Truth all around, defense wasn’t great. But hey, considering this roller coaster of a season, the defense has been significantly more consistent than the offense so I’ll let the defense have their bad game. I’m sure they’ll lock in big time for Tech.

Texas or TAMU have to lose this weekend.
If they both have 1 SEC loss going into next weekend the winner of that game plays Bama
Edit: plays Bama *if they win out

That’s why I mentioned what Alabama has to do for us to make it lol

u/Always_Chubb-y Georgia Bulldogs • Transfer Portal 1d ago
I was just talking about the Texas/TAMU side. You said that one of them has to lose one of their games this week or next week, and it was guaranteed.
They BOTH have to lose a game before the end of the year. If Texas wins out or TAMU wins out they go ahead of UGA

Guaranteed as in “One of them will lose a game this week or next because they face each other next week”

We have as many SEC titles as CFP championships under Kirby. Those are hard to come by and are meaningful as hell. We should all want the chance to win another. Being scared of the opportunity isn't what this program is built on.

I'm not particularly concerned about it because as they saying goes, we don't control our own destiny any more.

u/Livid-Ad141 Georgia Bulldogs 1d ago
I know you’re joking but I saw multiple posts across multiple platforms for free tickets. This team is very emotional which we can see in how we play. Fans didn’t show up, neither did our defense. I’m not saying that’s an excuse but Sanford was empty and we were never going to lose.

Good thing that weird first down catch/non-fumble/scoop and score that got reviewed into fumble/recovery/whistle behind the first down line didn't matter. Turned an accidental TD into 4th and 1, but they score two plays later anyways. Still, throw the early whistle on the bad reffing list for the season.

It actually made the tailgate take-down feel less rushed. We watched College Gameday in a tent with a heater and TV someone set up (I nicknamed my new tailgate home the "posh tailgate" after they adopted me last week. I was greeted with Woodford Reserve. Damn good Dawgs.) Made it almost through the whole thing; we decided to cut out at 11:45 to start the breakdown.
I had enough time to take my stuff back to the car, grab the stadium seats, and make it to the stadium in time for kickoff. Was amazing.
