UGA ran Chubb entirely too often to virtually no effect whatsoever but Michel was super effective and too sparingly used later in the game. Someone got way too sentimental with the playcalls.

We just can't play in Arizona, and our QB is shook when he sees anything resembling a pass rush and has a god-awful arm. We might be favorites to win the conference next year but that'll be about it.

I feel that not only is Super Bowl LI bad for gift-wrapping another title to the Patriots, but it's bad because it broke our analysis brains. Now any blown lead, even one as (shrug) as 13 points, has to be because some LOSER completely hosed UP. UGA did an unsuccessful thing a few too many times but also did some cool stuff on offense too and Bama was the better team eventually. Eh.

Yeah, I mean, UGA lacked some situational awareness in this game for sure. But Chubb and Michel were one of the best running back tandems this sport has ever seen, so of course they were gonna get their carries. No one could tackle those fuckers all season and they were the biggest reason UGA made it this far. It's hard to get mad at the staff for trying to make it work, especially when you consider how stubborn and conservative football coaches usually are.

Someone got way too sentimental with the playcalls. I think the idea was to burn the clock, which is a good call expect they were not ready for Tua to be so explosive. I think Alabama came out in the second half and played a much more conservative defense with less dangerous rushes which also made Georgia run the ball more since the coverage down field was a lot better.

UGA 2nd half (not OT): Chubb - 8 runs, 5 yards Michel - 6 runs, 37 yards They should have figured out the hot hand early and rode Michel, he had one good drive at the end of the 3rd where Bama couldn't stop him then they switched off to Chubb, he got stuffed, they had to pass and Bama got the coverage sack. Chubb had 25 total yards and his best two runs were both because of poor 1st downs which put them in deep yardage for 2nd down and caused the D to play the pass, leaving easier running lanes. Whenever Chubb got the ball and Bama knew it was run he got killed. Fluffdaddy posted:I think the idea was to burn the clock, which is a good call expect they were not ready for Tua to be so explosive. Michel had no negative yardage plays, like half of Chubb's carries were negative or zero yardage. There is an enormous disparity between the two and no reason they couldn't have continued to run Michel, especially since Bama couldn't stop him. Killing the clock is fine but you need to chain first downs and they kept giving it to the wrong back.

Chubb is a great back and it's hard to cut him out of the game plan if 3 or 4 carries weren't looking so hot.

College football was cool this year. We beat two Pac 12 teams in a row and went to our 8th straight bowl game and got to see Rashaad Penny look awesome. I was sad when Ronnie Hillman left and then I was sad when Adam Muema left and then I was sad when Donnell Pumphrey left and now I'm sad that Penny is leaving and I hope Juwan Washington makes me feel this same way next year. SDSU is pumping out amazing college RBs and I don't know how or why. Rocky Long is boring but consistent and we always run the drat ball. Go Aztecs

SamuraiFoochs posted:So I'm asking this in all sincerity. Would the Bama fans here agree that other teams turn into loving idiots almost every time Bama is on the ropes? I'm not saying Saban isn't a great coach and I'm not being salty about it, I'm genuinely flummoxed at this point. The way UGA had that game by the balls so many times and hosed up every time broke my brain. I'm beyond salt at this point. It's not there. I'm just shrugging. Not an Alabama fan so I only really watch them in bowl games but they've basically poo poo housed every team they've beat this decade except for tonight and the Clemson win, no? Both Clemson games could have gone either way really. I dunno how you could say the other team has a tendency to blow games when the games aren't even close. Alabama is and has been that much better than other teams. If you want to say Georgia blew it tonight then I think that's fair but waving away other one sided wins is kind of stupid.

Alabama learned from its defeat at the hands of Cardale Jones, and adopted the strategy of having a backup play out of his mind. Such is the genius of the Nick Saban Megaman Secret Ultimate Technique.

Halftime or something, no, obviously not but at some point it should have been more obvious. It wasn't even up for debate, one of them was clearly better the entire time and torturing Bama on the stretch plays. It wasn't necessarily Chubb's fault, Da'Ron Payne completely dominated the middle by himself and demanded constant doubles but when UGA went away from him they had success after success.

All of the talk about what Georgia did completely ignores what Bama was doing, and it seems pointless to talk about what the offense should have done without looking at what the defense was doing on those same series that might have influenced the play calls. Also, Michel had a 3rd and 2 carry about midway through the 4th quarter and got a single yard, so it’s not like he was automatic. Without a passing game it’s real hard to keep a drive alive against Bama no matter who you run in which direction.

Why would you cherrypick one carry and ignore everything else. Michel had like 3 carries of 10+ yards in the 4th. Bama was impossible to run against up the middle, they remained vulnerable to stretch plays all game, thus Michel succeeded more than Chubb. I'm not saying Chubb was a lovely back, I'm saying he wasn't going to work during this particular game and UGA should have figured that out by the 4th. e: Chubb runs in total: 18 Chubb runs of 1 or fewer yards: 10 Michel runs in total: 14 Michel runs of 1 or fewer yards: 2 (no negative yardage plays) Crotch Bat fucked around with this message at 08:38 on Jan 9, 2018 |

Well he only had four carries in the 4th, for 13, 10, 5 and 1 yard, so it ain’t a huge sample size. The longest carry was a run up the middle. But again, instead is it possible that there’s an answer that isn’t “the Georgia coaches are incompetent and don’t understand football at a basic level?” Maybe Michel doesn’t have the stamina or durability to be used as a workhorse back or maybe he can’t pass block or...

This was the 2nd highest number of carries for both backs. Believe it or not 8 other teams held Michel to a smaller YPC than Bama meanwhile this was Chubb's worst performance of the year and the only other team who came close to making him look this bad was Auburn. Point is, there was not a turning point in this game where Chubb or Michel got better or worse except maybe a bit of the first quarter where Chubb wasn't getting quite so eaten up. Michel torched Bama repeatedly all game long, Chubb was entirely ineffective all game long.

I'd have to really see the breakdown but my gut sense was that Sony Michel looked like Georgia's best player and didn't get the ball enough, and those Wildcat possessions seemed too conservative. The biggest coaching mistake in that game was the part where Bama almost lost the national championship because they didn't give their best QB meaningful minutes until they were down 2 TDs in the second half of the last game of the year.
