Talk about a team that was just happy to win the first half!

A lot of how the DB plays depends on the type of pressure you want to put on the offense up front.
I thought we did much better than expected overall. We just suffered an adrenaline dump after the first half and didn't have any 2nd team players to turn to like UGA, We probably win that game if there's no such thing as halftime. The Wells injury at the start was a big hit too.
Our db’s? Good lord, did you watch the game? They ran the ball at will down our throat because our dline was on the field twice as many plays as theirs were and we have no depth! I thought tj and stone played well though!
Well we stopped them twice where UGA missed 2 FGs… so it worked. I’d say holding UGA to 24 was pretty impressive.
If you are looking for a recipe of success for the season based on what you do against UGA, good luck. Georgia wanted to win that game too. It wasn’t just about us making adjustments as UGA is allowed to make adjustments too. This game was never just about us. If Georgia played to their ability, they would win. Period.
It’s ok to be frustrated. I’m pissed we lost. I’m disappointed we couldn’t duplicate the first half or hold on to win. But every loss doesn’t need blame. We just missed some opportunities and got worn down. **** happens every game. Wish we could’ve found a way to get 2 scores, but we couldn’t.

Don't think we got out coached. There depth definitely helped them down the stretch. Think we had way to many penalties to expect to beat the number 1 team at home with the critical penalties. Beamer was not happy and I believe him when he said in his post game press conference that they expected to win. This game made us better. Hopping we Ball out against Miss St.
You nailed m biggest concern other than Juice injury. Uga third and 4 or 5….we line up 12 yards off receiver and start a back peddle at the snap. Uga receiver runs 6 yards and stops….1st down. Happened over and over. Difference in the game actually. Shades of 1st half of UT game on 2021. We played press coverage in 2nd half after spotting them 28 easy points. Won 2nd half. I was screaming at the tv that game. Yesterday just sort of numb
I think going into the game it was kinda a no-brainer we'd need a few turnovers to have a chance in this game. Credit uga for taking care of the ball.
Georgia completely changed their offensive game plan at the half. First half was tentative running and lateral passing game. That played into our defense's hand perfectly. After halftime, Georgia went power running game and vertical passing. Our defense had no real answers for that. DBs had to play off of receivers to avoid giving up deep balls and the vertical passing game took the option of the defense playing everyone close to the LOS away.
Kirby must have eaten the Georgia defense's *** at halftime because they came out pissed off in the second half.
See I wasn’t even super impressed with their D. Even in the 2nd half. Yea they made some plays, but we also still moved the ball. We shot ourselves in the foot with some sort of penalty on almost every drive in the 2nd half that I can remember.
Illegal procedure penalties on the shift by GA defense should only happen once or twice - not repeatedly.
OL should have figured that one out.
Agreed. But my point stands that other than o-line mental mistakes the offense was still driving consistently.
O line was holding blatantly on every play. Only the SEC ref's normal incompetence allowed those drives to continue. For all of the "driving consistently", those drives were ultimately empty gestures, Georgia gave up 0 points in the second half and picked Rattler off twice.
Due to the point in time of the game and the desperate situation, I don't count those INT's against Rattler's performance. There are a number of teams who would be happy to have him as their QB.
If the rest of the team ups their performance to Rattler's level, we have the ability to win the rest of our games.
Soooo now we’re counting imaginary holding calls against our o-line? Did I just read that right?
I agree with you wholeheartedly. I don't think the loss was on the players at all. The coaches never put them in position to win. They played not to give up explosive plays instead of trying to get off the field on 3rd down. Here are a few examples that all happened in the 3rd quarter that resulted in 1st downs.

Our soft play in the secondary was a mystery. If they hit a deep ball, then ok, but the percentages are much less than the 100 per cent we were giving them.
If you watched any of the TN - FLA game, we will have to play TN the way FLA did with a very aggressive approach in the secondary.
Totally agree. However, this is where to NIL really can present a challenge. Ratter has millions of reasons to perform. The guys beside him don't have that. Class envy can be cancerous.
It's one thing to motivate when you're playing the #1 team in the country. Quite a different scenario when you're record is 3-2 and your headed to play a game in Missouri.
Had a lot to do with UGA getting away with more than your team when it comes to penalties. How do you see an illegal shift on UGA but called false start on us? How you do you see their DBs holding on wideouts and you not call it? But you called that same exact thing on us in the first half to keep their drive alive?
This one got my interest. Do you mean that the UGA defense shifted and our guys then moved? Because the defense is allowed to move, unless it's into the neutral zone.
But in general, I hate blaming refs for losses.
So the DL can’t shift and bump each other. That’s illegal. So it forced our guys to move and they called it on us
This is news to me, seriously. The defense can move, but they can't bump each other?
Edit: I tried looking it up, I don't think this is true.

I think it has to be a clean move - shift in unison like the offense when they shift.
I would really like to see the rule on this. I looked, and found this, but it's not official NCAA site.

I don't believe this is true until I can see a rule. All 11 guys on defense can move as long as they aren't violating the neutral zone.
I could be wrong but I thought the shifting player move in front of his on player on the line. That would probably cause him to violate the neutral zone.I would really like to see the rule on this. I looked, and found this, but it's not official NCAA site.

I am with you on that. Once you move forward into the neutral zone, all bets are off. I just thought outside the neutral zone, the defense could dance the waltz with each other if they wanted.
