We didn't sleepwalk Saturday. Players all week were talking revenge for 2015 and payback and all that ****. ****, even Richt mentioned us not "whipping anybody" yet this season. We just aren't a very good team.
We're good--good enough to beat inferior teams. But not good enough to dominate inferiors teams like we should.
Part of it is an OL that can't own the LOS. Part of it is a wildly inconsistent QB. And a big part of it is Richt as a play caller. He isn't elite or creative. In fact he's pretty predictable.
I don't care what the players or Rick were talking about before the game. We got whipped in the trenches, and that's the number one sign of not showing up firing on all cylinders.
They saw the VT/UNC score. They saw the 1-7 record. The 20 players out for the game. UM fans talking about a sure blow out and playing backups early.
