UGA is Proof.. The Spread is 🗑️

[gacaneaddict]

Ohio State benefited from the 1-month layoff. If those teams played again on Monday night, the result would have been closer to the TCU result than the original UGA/OSU result.

This is complete nonsense. Ohio State and UGA could line up tomorrow as long as Ohio State's Harrison can play, and it would be another buzzer finish.

UGA had NO answer for Ohio State's passing game and WR's, UNTIL their best WR got knocked out of the game.

Had Ohio State been completely healthy this season(Had Henderson and Smith-Njigba), they would have beaten UGA by double digits.

Can you imagine UGA also having to deal with Smith-Njigba while also having one of the best RB's in America to deal with? NO ANSWER

Ok, osu is 1-6 in their last 7 big games since 2019. Losing to Clemson, bama, Oregon, Georgia and Michigan twice. Michigan ran all over them this year without their all American RB, and I didn’t hear excuses being made about injuries from them when they lost to TCU

Marios offense is as fun as a prostate exam from shaq.

Is he doing the exam from the free throw line?

I didnt mean you. there were other people who went hard in the paint lol. I dont have an issue with you. I find it entertaining to go back n forth with your tbh.

regarding Mario, I think he does things really well and has proven to be a good HC. the offense was the side of the ball I was concerned w when he got hired and I agree hes gotta prove it now. he went w his way the first time around even if JG wasn't the desired first choice and it failed miserably. plenty of time to turn it around and the recruiting class aside from the obvious is stellar (id alos like to upgrade QB bc im honestly not big on emory as some people are).

All fair points.

I know a lot of people don't have memories of specific things going back 20 years, but when Chud left UM and Coker was casting about for OCs, he lurched to Werner first, then Olson later (who was formerly on Erickson's staff). Even back then, there was some talk about Cristobal having a bigger role in the offensive design and playcalling (I think they were trying to make Werner and Cristobal and Kehoe an offense-side triumvirate). And even back then, and as much as I supported my former classmate, I had some concerns about an OL guy (or two) being involved in the playcalling.

On the other hand, Mario played for Dennis. Mario is not some kind of "run-only" caveman. But the starting point for Mario will always be big/strong/mobile OLs.

Take notice of one important thing. Even after the mid-2000s UM flirtation with trying to get Mario some playcalling experience...he didn't do it at FIU (hired his own OCs) and he didn't do it at Alabama. It wasn't until he got to Oregon that he became a Co-OC under Taggart.

So I do agree with you. Mario needs to find an OC with a stronger identity that is associated with the design/formations of the offense and the playcalling of the offense. I realize that Mario also prizes "teaching" and "recruiting" skills. But he's got to get design/playcalling skills in this next OC hire.

Do they have veiny calves?

Hopefully, Andrew and DMoney never figure out that phrase and put it on the banned list of words...

 

[Dwinstitles]

Is that why Iowa and Wisconsin pull in all those playmakers? How about Michigan? Loaded with skill talent because they want to play with traditionally great O lines? How about Arkansas with Sam Pittman as HC and a great OL? Playmakers flocking there?

They will come here to UM eventually. No one's going to Wisconsin we offer way more than that let's be realistic

With stacked rosters anything you run looks unstoppable

Yes and if Mario can keep recruiting at this level the talent on the roster will make his system work. I'm willing to support Mario for as long as he is able to continue to recruit top 5 classes because the results will follow.

Our fanbase is hurting us. We need kids to understand things are going to get better and all they are seeing is how the program is falling apart. We are negatively recruiting ourselves.

That's nice and all but Ohio State's offense isn't the problem with that team. Their defense has been a liability. You put up 41 points on UGA you should win. Can't stop Michigan's run game for ****.

If I had the opportunity to body the fan base in a YT video I would but I can't at the moment hopefully in the future I can do my part to speak facts.

That wasn’t necessarily the assertion I was responding to, but they only scored 23 against Clemson, 24 against bama, 28 against Oregon, 27 and 23 against Michigan. the onLy shootout they lost was this year to Georgia, so yes their offense has underperformed in big games recently other than this one game

great recruiting is no guarantee Of success. Look at the great recruiting by Texas, TAMU, Florida, USC and lsu that has mostly given them mediocre results on Saturdays. That’s why you need good coaching, and why all those schools except for the aggies recently fired their head coaches

But Mario had success at Oregon and was knocking on the door of the CFP.

Texas has Sarkisian who hasn't had success as a head coach anywhere.


When Florida won they had top talent and since then haven't been recruiting top 5 classes. Mullen was a great coach but didn't have the players to compete.

LSU won a title in the last 5 years because of talent not coaching.

TAMU was in my opinion always going to be a disaster Jimbo had shown at FSU that he was unable to manage a program. But i’ll give you that one because he did win a title at FSU (although he had multiple 1st round picks so talent)

USC hasn't recruited at the level of the big boys from what I remember and have not had a head coach with a winning pedigree in some time... Now with Lincoln they were a game away from winning it all with multiple first round talents..

 

[FrancisSawyer]

So that being said..

**** LANE KIFFIN KLIFF KINGSBERRY LINCOLN RILEY TCU OHIO STATE AND **** YOU!! STFU EAD AND

I’m warning you now.. If I keep seeing the same repetitive slick trolling bs about COACH MARIO CRISTOBAL im going to keep harassing you pussies until the ****ig world ends. I much rather do that than ignore you so please keep that **** up you BETA ***gots!!

This might be the dumbest most simple minded post I've ever read. If you are trolling I applaud you sir on a job well done!

Yeah, their offense didn't show up in some big games, but it's carried that program since Meyer upgraded their offense. How about the 44 they put up against Penn State this season, or the 48 on Utah in the Rose Bowl, 49 on Clemson in the playoffs two years ago? I can cherry pick games too.

Clemson was their one win in the games I was referencing. You’re going to put penn state and Utah in the same category as Clemson, bama, Georgia and Michigan the past two years? I’m talking about cfp/ NC programs, so Not even close

the op I responded to said they would beat Georgia by double digits if they were healthy, which is why I pointed out they have a bad record against elite teams going back 3 years. You arguing that them beating psu, like they do 90% of the time, somehow makes up for their recent failures in Big games is laughable

 

[Flynell7]

I hate UGA, but they're on another level talent wise. So much so, it's hard to know how good their QB even is.
Agree Mario needs to keep stacking for sure.

I’m willing to bet he’s not that good and we won’t hear much about him if he goes pro. Truly elite prospects don’t stick around till age 25 in college.

Oregon finished 15th, 25th, 6th, unranked, unranked in the final cfp rankings while he was at Oregon. they had the one good year with Herbert but they were never in the top 4 at any time That year.

Im NOt going down the list to rebut every team because all you need to do is look at the recruiting rankings vs Their records and see that they recruited very well and significantly underperformed, which is why they were fired.

Lsu went 11-12 after their NC leading to O being fired and that’s why I said “mostly mediocre results”. And I think bradys passing offense had something to do with their success since burrow had very pedestrian numbers in 2018, 16 passing tds compared to 60 the next year with Brady. He also doubled his passing yds.

usc had the 4th, 4th, 10th and 2nd ranked classes 2015-2018. What did they accomplish With all that talent? They were 22-21 from 2018 to 2021…so they fired Helton who could acquire the talent but couldn’t coach em up to get results.

 

[NCCanefan]

What is dynamic about Georgia's offense? They run the ball and throw to their tight ends and backs primarily.

Not sure what your definition of dynamic is or why you think it is important. How about effective? GA put up 65 in the championship and easily could have put up 80. 20 passes to 9 receivers for 335 yards and 4 TDs. 44 rushes for 254 and 5 TDs.

How "dynamic" do you want?

 

[We the Boss]

TCU had more success than we have had in 20 years. UGA and bama both use spread concepts. Lmfao.

I am certain there are quite a few folks on this site that truly would enjoy that.
