I would take it one step further. And show the total drives minus the 2, with total yards and total plays.

Its been a long time for AU fans to experience this kind of domination against a top ranked team. Before yesterday, we had not given anyone reason to think the coaches and the players were one. I will say this: We won this coaching match and made a statement in so doing. The biggest difference I saw between the LSU game and this, was the fact the running game worked in the second half and UGA made so many uncharacteristic self inflicted errors. We were the better coached team and it showed. The wife was funny last night. I asked her what we were having for dinner, she said I was having crow. 

This is what I would hope and expect to see more of going forward. Bama is really hurting with 4 LBs out. Probably no other team could lose that much at one position and find a way to win. I remember under Shug when we had lost our LBs and we had backup DEs at LB playing in the iron bowl. Bama had a field day running the ball. We owe them a beat down for Shug!

A dominant performance on both sides. Steele and Chip were obviously in total control. Great job by Gus to manage the game. He looked like a HC for the first time in a long time. Great win for the players, coaches, and fans!.

you think Chip called the "nick marshall read option pass" that was so clearly a f* you to Kirby Smart?

Not bird, but I liked it.  To me it showed MW made an in game decision on a RPO that was the correct decision.  MW needs to make those decisions, it was more like you would have seen from Spurrier.  It showed Gus allowed Chip to call that play and did not tell Chip or MW to run the ball.

Evolution is what we saw last night and I loved it.

 that it shows "gus didn't tell chip to run it & allowed him to call that play"  . . . certainly could be the case. i tend to disagree but it's all speculative so w/e .. WAR EAGLE! 

 

oh and i meant run / pass / option* sorry. 

[EagleReedle 14]

to me, the run pass option that was so clearly a f* you to kirby smart (im just going to keep describing it that way) proves we have one spiteful son of a gun for a head coach and i love that. 

[around4ever 4,139]

Good one from Jeffrey Lee.

Yes I do. That's why you saw Gus say, "don't pass anymore".

I had my crow with some hot wing sauce and a little ranch dressing.  Washed it down with some Corona. It was great!

I still see it as something of a spiteful play call but I am glad we didn't take a knee.

Cool play too.....watched a bit of Central Florida game yesterday and Laslee called that same old Nick Marshall play ...looked like a QB run and when the defender came forward, the QB just lobbed the ball over him and the receiver just strolled into the end zone.

You're absolutely correct. He has always been that way.  He used to always try and embarrass a defense. That changed the last few years. I hope he regained it yesterday, 'cause its one of the reasons many of us fell in love with his offenses.

[EagleReedle 14]

well said BigBird.

I hope he regained it as well.  Yesterday is what I want out of an AU HC against our biggest rivals.

Me too. A coach that will stand there toe to toe with the other coach and say, "hey family, hold my beer"

I totally agree, he needs to learn to keep his foot on the gas till the final bell.

What was the play or plays that was the turning point in the game?  Late hit on KJ? Slayton's outstanding catch?  ThUGA not scoring at the end of the first half?  Muffed punt?

Any thoughts?

I thought the leaping penalty was the biggest play of the game. It was still a very close game and their D had stopped us and was going to get them good Field position.

No doubt about it. With 6:40 left in the first quarter, Sony Michelle got met at the line by Carlton Davis. Looked like he ran into a wall. Aaaand .... GA swag gone...poof.

No, but I am sure Gus did. After Willis ran the ball, got choke tackled, and a little retaliation between the 2 continued, and the refs had to separate them, Gus pulled Willis over talked to him, and probably told him we are going to fool that little A$$ on the next play, so he calls a similar run but allows him to fool the dbs and throws the Marshall flip to the WR...

great call.
