ATHENS – The Georgia football itself has in many ways asserted itself so well that it is difficult for some to remember the bulldogs, which is a work in progress.
But Kirby knows better than to read on to win 27-6 over the smartub burn, and his assistant coach is paid a lot of money to ensure those Georgia players continue to coach up and continue to improve.
The Bulldogs know the hard work is on the deck, with the game against Tennessee scheduled for prime-time next Saturday at 30:30 p.m.
There is a subjective view on the position group’s performance on what was a resounding victory collectively:
Quarterbacks (b)
Stetson continues to impress Bennett’s preparation and pose, even if his 17-28-28 passing numbers (240 yards, one touchdown, one sack) aren’t overwhelming. When Bennett turned away from the celebrated ub burn defender “Big Cat” Bryant to sustain the UGA’s early scoring drive, he found Kearis Jackson in first place at third-and-10, as he set a tone. It was too late to get a valuable reputation, but the red shirts need new people to display body language better.
Running back (A-)
James Cook, who looked like a rising star who was supposed to explode and physically when needed, and burst and speed up where the car was suitable for carrying y1 yards. Zamir White is looking for his legs and quick legs, hitting 2 TDs from 88 yards active on 19 carry. Kendall Milton, Kenny McIntosh and Daijun Edwards all seemed very capable of figuring out what the advancing competitive backfield is.
Recipients (b-)
The group has been coming along but still lacks the accuracy of the Championship Corps. Caris Jackson’s career night was with 9 catches for 147 yards, but no one else caught more than 2 passes. George Pickens had a holding penalty and a wrong start and the Matt Landers were losing a deep ball that could go for a touchdown. Freshman Marcus Rosemi cut his way, missing his hot reading on the blitz.
F-line (b)
Though dominant though not enough, the offensive line has not been found like the Bulldogs ’offensive success. Left-handed Jamari Slayer looks solid enough, and the center position was seen in Arkansas in Week One to address the urgent issues of crime. Owen Condon Condon had a holding penalty that destroyed Milton’s nice run. Overall, progress by Matt Luke’s group.
Defensive line (A-)
A special group of players here, the key to limiting only 39 yards on 22 carry. Smart treats his ‘Jack’ supporters as linemen, so the downgrade to Adamsrdson missing the Bo Knicks on two open field sacks goes here. Anderson picks up 2 other sacks, though, that show why he was brought down to pass-specific down. Aziz Ozulari did an impressive rookie job with 5 tackles and 3 TFLs. Impressed Jordan Davis, 4 stops in the middle.
Linebackers (A-)
Monty Rice was ready for his home-state Tigers, leading the team with 7 tackles and 6 solo stops. Rice was upset to see Ge Burn become the first team to run for TD over Georgia last year and wouldn’t let his teammate do it again. Nakobe Dean continues to impress with his instincts and search skills. Quay Walker is the second player on the rise, and also had four tackles in the game.
Secondary (A)
The longest time of the night’s gest burn was 20 yards, a tribute to Christopher Smith for getting ready in the first half on a questionnaire goal call to Richard Lacont. Tyson Campbell went a long way on ub burn star WR Seth Williams. Campbell’s 3 tackles and one PBU don’t judge his performance. Lewis Cine continues to show run support with physical plays and Tyrick Stevenson is starting to show why Dan Lanning was excited about it. P te Mark Webb came up with big hurdles and a 13-yard return that picked up momentum on the UGA side.
Special Team (B +)
Georgia puts a bar high on these units, so it has become a common business for Jack Cumarda to perform like an all-American, averaging .31..3 yards on two pants. Kenny McIntosh had another good return of 38 yards, while the coverage team caught Four Burn at an 18-yard average on his four-kick return. Kicker Jack Podless was good from 21 and 25 yards, but missed 43-yards. Caris Jackson had two punt returns for 6 yards.
Coaching (A-)
Kirby is 9-4 against the Smart Top 10 and showed his management skills this week, even though he eliminated them after the game. The influence of new OC Todd Monkon is now starting to show that the offense is reducing its penalties and gaining the trust of the players. The fact that there is no turnover in the 9-of-14 third down conversion rate is proof that Monkey got a good chance from the famous defensive coordinator Kevin Steele. Defensively, Dan Lanning continues to impress with what he focuses through his unit and the timing of his pressure.
Overall (A)
The sum was more than the parts, the win was more dominant than the final score. This was a significant victory for the Georgia Football .l program that began to live up to the expectations of the championship contenders. Smart It’s true when he says it starts with physicality, but it’s also important to team chemistry and buy-in. The defense rally was held when Richard Lacont came out. It was an important moment and the crime continued to grow despite the complicated quarterback situation.
