I hate both teams--- this game frustrates me, bc I thought UC could have played so much better offensively vs Bama. Georgia is doing to Bama what I thought UC would do--- take some deep shots-- roll out the QB-- a few designed QB runs--- getting the ball out to the TE's and RB's.
I'm still trying to figure out how both teams can lose--- that's the only acceptable outcome for me.
UC not taking shots down the field was really annoying. They weren't winning without chunk plays. Defense gave them chances to make them.
Still catching up. Have not watched Cotton bowl post game comments yet.
What was the explanation for the conservative game plan on O, including Dez appeared scripted to not run ?? And the conservative game plan on D.
Boy did he Dez lose free a advertisement of his dual skill ability vs top end talent. Maybe it was to make sure he’s a first rounder. Leave it to after the draft in NFL training camp for when they can eval him against top talent??
I know it’s crazy, but despite the game being over I’m still listening to pre-Cotton bowl Bearcat Journal Podcasts (they are awesome and thanks to someone on here for turning me on to them and Meachems pods). I like to listen to them in chronological order. I’m most of the way through Chad and Dave’s pre-Cotton Bowl show. Everything Dave said we needed to do to win was exactly what we didn’t do lol. This included 75 true rushing yards for Dez, etc., NOT playing base defense bc each of our players can’t beat their individual man. We would need to blitz from different spots (CB, safety,etc.), Sauce should follow their top wide receiver…
Maybe Luke is playing the long game (staying for 10 years more) and needs Sauce and Dez as first rounders to tell recruits -so he avoided them being put in situations that could hurt their draft stock hahaha. Heck people here are joking GA lost to AL to get 2 SEC teams in so who knows.
Maybe play super conservative so there is no chance we get blown out (despite the chance we more likely lose) And tell recruits and come back restocked in three years. It’s still painful, bc we don’t get many chances. How long have we been waiting for that next final four in hoops…
