DL-even, OL edge to UGA, WR- Auburn, DB's- even, RB's UGA, QB- slight edge Auburn, LB's - slight edge GA. I give GA the edge here because I am still not convinced by our pass rush. Coaching edge to UGA until Gus proves that he can win against a top 5 team without Nick Marshal. Our pass rush looked servicable against banged up Fitzgerald, but it took up until the late 4th to get a sack against Missouri, and Pattersen pretty much found time to throw almost every play. Some of that was him, but alot of it looked to be they just held us at bay. Pass rush simply seems like its peaked since that Clemson game (Im not even factoring in the Mercer game because why would I) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The total lack luster play in the 2nd half did diminish the enjoyment of the game because we did not play a complete game and it was typical of a Gus coached team. We are going to have to play a complete game to beat UGA or keep it close against spuat. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also UGa gonna have to play a complete game to beat AU....don't you think? So let's just play that game when the dawgs show up in Auburn and not be projecting things forward.

wareagleguy 1,393 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I think this type of game lends itself to the next week's film breakdown and preparation. On the one hand, they can point to the fast start and much of the 2nd half and say "This is how good you can be when you play with intensity and execute." Then, they can point to much of the rest of the game and challenge the players to play every down for 60 minutes. I also think it sets up well to reinforce that mentality as we head into the next 3 weeks. WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurbis 571 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 On the radio coming out of the half they asked Gus what he said to them team and he said they had to pretend the game was 0 - 0 and to come out and play like their hair was on fire. Ole Miss, a team with nothing to play for, played that way and Auburn quit. The offensive game plan in the second half was obviously to run clock and get the game over with. Why say you want to keep playing hard and then send a very obvious message to the contrary. Why not just continue running the offense? Why not put in backups and let them run the offense and get good experience against an SEC defense? That lack of a killer attitude is I think Malzahn's biggest issue.

Agreed^^^ No one is pleased with the second half, but one thing we can't allow is complacency while in the weak part of the schedule. The second half can be used as a motivational tool. Let's hope it works. If we can play the big games like we played the first half, it's a toss up between us, UGA and bama. Could get very interesting. If we don't learn from the second half, LSU looks like a tough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,362 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I do have to wonder how the second half might have played out if the game was played at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's easier to get "up" for a game when the score is actually 0-0 instead of hearing a coach try to tell you that it's 0-0 when the scoreboard shows a 5 TD lead. Gus can talk all he wants to about it being a new game in the 2nd half.......but these are college guys and they know that 35 is a lot more points than 3.

But UGA has been pretty much playing complete games and getting better with each game and each half for the most part.

GwillMac6 20,607 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 After decompressing and cooling off I can forgive the second half BUT I still cannot get over the last drive of the first half. That wildcat play on 2nd and 5 just drives me nuts. I cannot get over it lol we should of gone in to make it 42-3 and been the cherry on top of a great day. The offense was off after that. The down and distance plus where we were on the field did not dictate us to go wildcat. I just do not get it. I get being all gimmicky when you do not have a good QB. We have stidham. No need for over reliance on the wildcat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
