Not sure if this has been posted, but I was reading an article in the Athens newspaper that referenced Timmy calling out the UGA defense against LSU. Here's what he said...
Former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, now an SEC Network analyst, called out nose guard Julian Rochester by spotlighting the junior on a replay from the LSU game with Georgia trailing 19-9 in the fourth quarter.
It showed running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire picking up 17 yards to get to the Georgia 1 to set up a Joe Burrow touchdown run in the 36-16 LSU win.
“Look at the effort for LSU vs. this defensive lineman for Georgia,” Tebow said Saturday. ”‘Uh, I’m jogging, I could have made the play but I didn’t want any.’ If you’re a Georgia defensive player, that is embarrassing and you’re getting called out. On that play, three players were jogging to the football. Any one of them could have made the tackle. LSU, you weren’t jogging to the football. That’s why you dominated.”
It wasn’t clear which other Georgia players Tebow was referring to but it may have been linebackers Brenton Cox and Tae Crowder, who made the tackle on the play.
Tebow said some Georgia players were “pulling up on plays,” and called the lack of effort “shocking,” a season after a Roquan Smith-led defense was “ferocious,” in its effort.
Calling it like it is. Kirby attributed it to a lack of conditioning...
“I think conditioning is a major part,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said Monday. “I don’t know that I would call it effort, lack of effort. I think being conditioned, being able to play 60, 70 snaps in a row, being able to play sustained drives, being able to play back-to-back plays, you can never be good enough at that. You’re always trying to improve. It’s something that we worked hard on last week is how many plays can you play in a row and be at your best. I don’t think it’s a lack of effort.”
One factor the article mentioned was that LSU had 81 offensive snaps against the Dawgs. If we can keep the offense on the field in similar fashion, well-conditioned or not referring to the UGA D, our chances become much better. I think it's clear that the important match-up is our improved O against their rebuilding D, which isn't the same as last season's edition with the loss of key players. Expecting us to be far more competitive this year than last. Win Special Teams and Turnovers and the world has a chance to be right once again!
