I would like to know how our speeches went because we came out uninspired!
Here's what GA planned and executed!

What happened during halftime at Georgia?
- Thread starter Prestonyte
- Start date
They got better talent than us at every position except maybe Qb. Who didn’t know their depth would eventually take over the game? We will see that 2nd half stumble a lot this year
What happened ?

What really happened is that UGA is talented and deep enough to make adjustments.
Pretty much. They made better adjustments than we did. When you're in that kind of game, it's all about which side makes the better halftime adjustments. Kirby hasn't totally lucked into 2 titles in a row. I do agree about talent as well. UGA came out right off the bat and socked us in the mouth in the 2nd half. They just made adjustments. And, in reality, UGA just made plays in the 2nd half that that they weren't making in the first half.
I also think it showed in our play that we had 2 different mentalities. We were playing like the aggressors in the first half and playing like we had nothing to lose. We were more tentative in the 2nd half.
Thanks for that comment. I missed the second half, but caught bits on the radio. Proud of our team, but hope they were mad and feel like they should have won that game and not happy just to be in it until the end. When I think of the last three games last year, this team felt like they should've won and it showed. Clemson might have been 1 point on the scoreboard, but on the field we were 10-17 points better. Didn't get the W against ND, but you could tell it was just because there was nothing left. Would have been a split decision in a fight. If this team has a "we're gonna win" mentality going forward, a lot of people on this board are going to be very happy.
This was my point in the OP. What was said and planned at halftime on our side - certainly not ''let's go out there and dial back the aggressiveness and play not to lose''.
Not sure if it was you or someone else who posted that we were giving their receivers a lot more cushion in the 2nd half. Posted some screen shots.
Screenshots can be misleading. We may have some pictures of our guys playing off in the first half. Not every play, mind you, but all it takes is two or three make a story.
Okay, I worded that terribly. What I wanted to ask was if we really backed off the WR's more in the second half? Did it just seem that way? Are we taking a few plays and drawing conclusions about the whole half?
Having said that, I did notice it in the second half. But it could be that I just noticed it more.

Beamer called it before the game in a pregame interview talking to CBS how UGA makes better halftime adjustments then anyone else.
They ran the ball more in the 2 half and ran it effectively. Not sure why they didn’t run more in the 1st half. Did they not watch film on us? I agree the soft coverage on our part was bad. But the key was their adjustments to our one- trick pony offense.
Sorry to double post, but left this out. It’s a lot easier to make adjustments at half when you have better talent and options. UGA’s 1st half offensive plan was garbage.
Couple of thoughts….
After the quick TD drive for Georgia and poor starting position at about the 15 after the next kick (plus a five yard penalty), we were cooked right there. I knew if we punted it back to them right away we were toast. Georgia is just too good, and we had to keep playing lights-out.
Also, I think I agree with Peyton Manning that “halftime adjustments” is a bit overstated. He basically said that half time was for catching your breath and deciding what you did wrong with what you had planned. It takes a whole week to plan for a game, and there is no way to significantly adjust a game plan at halftime. Just look at what you’ve screwed up and try to change that. Seems to make sense to me.

I'd love to see the Carolina halftime talk by Beamer. Saying they were "kicking their butts..." wasn't a smart thing to do.
We went from aggressive and attacking on offense and defense in the first half to sh*t in the second half. What happened after the halftime rest is the question. All we needed was more of the same - no adjustments needed.

I'm sure it was as easy as this: "Bobo...Run the damn football and throw it to Brock".
I don't know. I thought we still battled. Got the missed FG early in the 4th and had a chance to tie it or take the lead. That Knox drop on 3rd down was the dagger. Convert that and who knows what would have happened.
We scored 0 points in the second half -- we were just not capable of pulling those things off.
