The nail in the coffin was against dwags. We punted constantly while I believe they broke a record for 3rd down conversions made. It's got to get fixed - a big part of it will be getting size and talent on the interior of the line. Without it they will just continue to gut punch us with the run game year after year.
The formula for beating the buttsniffers has been the same every year since I've been born. Stop their run game and its game over. Even their best QBs struggled mightily without a run game. The only times theyve ever beaten us, theyve been successful on the ground. Theyve had plenty of successful through the air losses against us - the common denominator is always the ground game. Georgia is a running team, always have been, its their DNA. They still run the same dang run first offense that herschell walker was running 30 years ago. Stop the run and beat them no matter the year. Why this seems like such a mystery to the staff is beyond me but Im optimistic they have figured it out and is why we are seeing lots of bigguns getting crooted this cycle.
I agree, but we also couldn’t get to Fromm on 3rd & long when we DID stop the run. Our sack-happy D got zero sacks that game. Zero. I thought our healthy DBs would make a big difference, but with no pressure Fromm picked them apart.
