I was at the game and on the 4th down hand off to Choc.. a nearly black out drunk sorority girl was 2 rows down screaming "they are going to hand it to 32! They did it last week!"
Not much you can do when literally everyone knows what you're going to do. Especially against a team with a pulse on D. I honestly can't say I disagreed with the benching of N'kosi. He basically threw 3 interceptions in 6 passes.
Outside of JT4, the receivers look lethargic running routes. Pope was fast but looked like he second guessed it every time and wasn't sure of what to do. He just ran a 9 route every time and was just hesitant. Cager runs in quicksand. Wiggins was on lock down 95% of the night. Harley just looked lost on the 2 interceptions... both to him. Not sure who's fault but the second one Richt referenced the WR and I can see it. Thomas saved us from another interception by swatting it away.
We threw a lot more on first down than usual but they were low percentage throws. They were giving us stuff underneath and over the middle all day but we didn't take it... just kept taking shots down field or Malik didn't have the arm to fit it in. One thing I did notice on N'kosi vs Malik is that Malik is so slow on his drop that the play is fully developed by the time he hits the 3 step drop and he has to hold it.
The 2 minute offense was nothing short of embarrassing. Don't care if we got points or not. Those throws that we were making to Brevin were there all night if we would have just looked for it they were giving it to us.
Where is Jeff Thomas? Richt has never had a WR like him and has no clue how to use him properly. It blows my mind. A bubble screen isn't the only way to get him the ball quick and easy. He should have 10 touches a game and 1-2 can be bubble screens. Outside of JT4, the receivers look lethargic running routes. Pope was fast but looked like he second guessed it every time and wasn't sure of what to do.
