I firmly believe that our guys showed up to play today. They began the game with intensity, but unlucky bounces hurt us today. Granted, good things happen when you are a good team, but UGA got some unbelievable luck today. Fumble recovered in the endzone for a TD. Tipped ball at the line falls right into Pollack's hands. Ball runs into Foschi and fumbles. Ball gets a concussion and misses the second half. PJ missed much of the game, and when he was playing, he wasn't nearly full speed. I'm not making excuses, just stating the obvious. The loss was not because we didn't come to play. We had no gameplan. The defense looked strong in the begining, but seriously guys, after the 791st screen pass, shouldn't Tenuta figured out that he needed to cover the flats? And as soon as Chris Woods gets going good with the running game, Gaily comes out on the next possesion with three straight passes = 3 and out. I was happy to see Suggs throw 2 TDs, but his second interception? Jesus, guys, is he colorblind? If you saw it, you know what I'm talking about. The blocked punt? You can't have a gunner out wide when the defense is sending two guys off the edge. Whoever that gunner was should've realized he needed to move in. That's middle school football stuff. Bottom line is, we were outcoached. I'm dissapointed that CCG didn't have a better gameplan and that Tenuta didn't make the necessary adjusments throughout the game to improve the defense. And now with Pitt losing, it looks like Boise it is. Darn. I give Gaily one more year, and if we don't improve, I will be calling for his firing.
Good try GT players, maybe we'll get 'em next year.
P.S. Extremely dissapointed in Rueben Housten. One of the stupid personal foul penalties was his, but that wasn't all. On Gibson's (I think it was his) catch that got UGA down to the one yard line, Rueben could be seen WALKING after getting beat when he was obviously not out of the play. There is no room for this in any level of football, and I would've benched him on the spot. Not player-bashing, but it was dissapointing.
