You guys put a scare into me. No one knew who was going to win going into the 4th quarter. This is the most prolific scoring offense UGA has ever had in our history and it took it to win this game. I'm not sure you guys should have went away from a run offense. Our strength is pass defense. Our rush is pretty good. However, our run offense is so-so. It was a damn great effort by both teams. A great game to watch. Good luck next season. Go Big Red!
Thanks for posting, great game to UGA. Couple quick questions that I am looking for an honest answer on.
1) How does our O stack up agains SEC offenses?
2) Are our offenses athletes comparable to SEC ones?
3) What were you most impressed by in our team?
1) The offense is a little different than most we face. It is more in line with T A&M which we didn't get to play this year. It is remotely similar to UFs and USCe's. Martinez is very Johnny Football like and hard to contain. I really do think NU should try to get back to a little more of the physical running game that you see from most teams in the SEC and nobody did it better than Nebraska in it's heyday.. It is a good scheme you guys have. Let's face it, if UGA didn't have a pretty prolific offense this year, we would have lost that game.
2) I don't want to paint with too broad a brush on this question. Your d-backs were on us better than most. Your D-line played pretty good against us. The O-line was up and down. The quaterback was about as good as any we have seen. I think by and large the SEC is more physical and at times faster. You look at Jones and Ogletree. They are difference makers because of their speed, but they are on defense. I really didn't get to see enough of your receivers to draw a comparison. Your running backs were comparable to what we see in the SEC. I don't think they are top flight, but they are comparable with most of the backs in the SEC. The O-line seemed good at times and so-so at times. I really think the one difference in this game was our receivers snatching down balls and our running backs picking up extra yards after contact which may say something about the level of athletes at this point in time.
3) I think your coaches actually did a good job in game planning on both sides of the ball. Martinez was impressive. The offensive scheme was pretty good and hard to defend. You guys actually did a pretty good job on our offensive run game. We were a little predictable there, but still you shut down parts of it. I thought you guys played real hard and never backed down. There was a lot of confidence on that team.
