I really have nothing to complain about my team this week. What I can talk about is some offseason drama and the perception of what seems to have shifted.

One of the biggest areas that UGA is still "weak" at recruiting is WRs due to the perception that we don't throw the ball and we just like to grind out games, even though last season we had about 38PPG. Apparently over the off season, Kirby decided that he wanted to put that perception to bed and some folks are saying that the team goal is 45+ PPG and letting Monken develop a true pass first offense. Well, 49 last night against what might be one of the better defenses we will play this year and 38 passing attempts with only 6 incompletions and a total of 571 yards of total offense. Kirby, with his "always be recruiting" mantra, said that he hopes folks are watching the offense and want to come join in.

Another big thing was keeping folks engaged with the program, namely Darnell Washington. He seemed frustrated when he wasn't getting touches last year, and when you are a 6'8" tight end that can do this:
https://twitter.com/FootbaIIism/status/1566156158167121920
you really should be more than just a blocking TE. Well, he was featured last night because this is his money year.

It really seems like Kirby has taken a shift, he has his hands fully out of the offense (though it was the same last year) and that he is now just out to prove a point. I honestly think other than Florida and Tennessee (and that is with a big maybe), there isn't anyone on our schedule that we should be worried about and back to back is a real possibility.

Boise did slip a bit during the Harsin era, going from 11-12 win regular seasons to 9-10 win regular seasons. The returns on Avalos don't look good so far.

A few notes on Florida:
  • I was expecting Florida to do something stupid and throw the game away like Florida did under the previous staff. This never happened.
  • Florida has a real-rear end offensive line. Florida ran the ball better than Utah with more YPC and better rushing EPA, and Utah is built to run you over.
  • Anthony Richardson is going to the league after this year. He's got some accuracy issues but the NFL believes that is now a fixable issue (see Josh Allen.)
  • The defense was generally sound, with 2 redzone stops. I wasn't screaming about the scheme not putting players in the right position to succeed, which is a breath of fresh air.
  • Utah had a good idea on how to attack Florida by running their passing game through their TEs to attack Florida's weak LBs. Luckily I don't think anyone except for Georgia with Brock Bowers and Darnell Washington, and Texas A&M with what Jimbo likes to run can replicate this.
  • Billy Napier may be the most normal person to coach Florida since Spurrier.
  • I have a lot of respect for Utah. Cam Rising may be the best QB Florida plays this year. I hope Utah stuffs USC into a locker.

Some guy on Reddit put together a list of Florida's visiting recruits for the Utah game. If Georgia is clowning on people with a 6'8", 5* TE then we need all the elite croots we can get.

There is clearly a war going on between UT Parking Enforcement and the football team because one of the players got suspended recently for breaking his car out of a boot.

quote:

Texas wide receiver Agiye Hall was arrested on Thursday for the Class B misdemeanor of criminal mischief between $100 and $750. On Friday, the UT police arrest report revealed that the “mischief” Hall reportedly caused was in damages to a vehicle boot. The damage was worth approximately $600, Brian Davis of the Austin American-Statesman reported.

A little difficult to weigh the UGA game yesterday because Bo Nix is fully entrenched in the Reggie Ball Memorial Pantheon of Dudes Owned by Georgia and Oregon straight quit in the second half, but that offense was so awesome yesterday that it's hard to ignore. When Stetson would roll out, from the upper deck I could see like five dudes with open space around them, almost every time. Guys flying all over the place. If Kirby's plan is to let Monken do what he wants and have an offense that's fun to play in, then there it was.

Georgia was sneakily pass-to-set-up-the-run more than people thought last year, and they'll really be that this year seeing how Kenny Mac at RB1 is more a hybrid sort of skill player. UGA slowed things down when the game was out of hand but Stet was still chucking it. The only manball set I remember before the 3s were in the game ended with Bennett keeping it for a score anyway.

Ugh

to be honest I couldn't watch much (time zones, couldn't get a stream stable when it was already a 40-point game) but if Nix is that bad and the team is quitting like that, I'm worried, because they definitely looked like they downed tools against Utah last year.

Next week is Eastern Washington, which is definitely closer to the "feisty" end of your FCS scale, but still should be a solid win. If it doesn't go well, I'm real, real worried. Week after is BYU, that might get ugly.

Annoyingly, Oregon State looks like they might be pretty good too - that or Boise State is absolute rear end, which I'd also be okay with.

The fourth is Long Island.

I agree with all of this. I thought it was wholly possible Utah would pants the hell out of us to start, and we somehow knocked off a top 10 team for Napier’s debut.

The team played smart. Didn’t force anything. The OL looked insanely good. The defense played hard—especially in the end zone.

Couldn’t ask for much better. I feel a lot better about UF football than I have in awhile.

OSU has quietly been turning into a pretty decent program the last few years.

Pac-12 lost the marquee games, but the middle of the conference looks much improved over last year. I thought Utah looked pretty good too, that was a fun game.

Felt weird to see actual offense and shaky CB play from UW, complete opposite of what we've seen recently

Nothing is more important than the scoreboard, but under the hood it looks like Oregon gained a decent number of yards in spite of Bo Nix. So maybe there is some hope. Game 1 versus Georgia is a big ask from a new head coach.

As for Florida, I am still in the riches-to-rags mindset. Games like last night's help. It takes years to build an elite roster but I liked the mindset and discipline shown against Utah. Really, really curious to see how they look for Kentucky.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Clones looked good against SEMO. They had like one bad half of a quarter. Otherwise, offense was clicking, defense was getting stops, all generally good stuff. ISU has typically struggled in its first week, so this was a good change of pace.

Iowa struggled against their FCS opponent, so this means Iowa will put up 35 points next week.

Nix is in this weird middle area where he's too talented to just dump or anything but he's also a program dead end. I guess an intriguing option if you just wanted to scrounge out a bowl (Nebraska should've taken a chance!) but Oregon had higher aspirations going into the season one figured. Not sure why Lanning took him on seeing how his defense's owned Bo's rear end. Maybe it was an "I can fix him" sort of thing.

Oregon moved the ball OK between the 30s. I think Georgia's going to miss Nakobe Dean the most out of all the guys who got drafted; Oregon had some success to the edges where Nakobe last year would be there to clean stuff up.
