UGA Instant Analysis  Bowl Week: W @ Michigan; 13-1 Playing 15 games in one season is a great year no matter what happens next week. Congratulations to Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs. Let’s go finish this season and get the 40 year old monkey out of Athens. I will address the elephant in the room first. Stetson played good — not great. He had two really good throws, the long one to Cook and the TD to Cook. His throw to Burton was good, too. He had two good scrambles as well. He also made some really poor throws, and a few poor decisions. What hurt to watch the most was the end of the first half and his time management. Coach Monken and probably Smart should have taken control more, but his leadership was poor in that moment. Through it all, I maintain the belief Stetson is capable of beating Alabama. I have concerns and expressed them all year, but he is not the reason Georgia lost the SECCG.  The biggest negative of the night is Georgia’s third quarter. What an awful performance

  UGA Instant Analysis  Week 14: L vs. Alabama; 12-1    This week’s analysis is short for various reasons, partially because the only good thing to talk about is Brock Bowers and writing on all the negatives would be sad.   Defense earned itself the first spot for the first time this season. Georgia did not cover, did not tackle, did not play disciplined, and were bullied by a team that was bullied up front a lot this season. As expected, the deep threat killed us. Hats off to Bryce Young who won the Heisman this week. He is an outstanding player and will likely find himself the first overall player drafted after next season. At some point when Alabama clearly dedicated to short drops and quick throws, max coverage and keeping everyone in front might be the best answer, even if it is not fun or ideal for our skillsets. Regardless, there is no excuse and frankly it is confusing how Georgia played the way they did on defense. Assuming they still make the playoff, there is a lot to fix be
