They got beat like an FCS team.
Georgia is more talented and should have won the game regardless but Oregon got obliterated without even putting up the slightest fight. Georgia was replacing their entire defense and brought back an offense that was missing the two leading rushers that carried them last year.
Georgia Tech played them closer last year than Oregon did. Oregon couldn’t even score garbage time points when Georgia emptied their bench
Why do y’all do this to me, huh? Y must u turn me into an apologist for teams I don’t even fck w?
I think ppl r looking at the final & box score vs. the entire context. The first flaw is UO was way too high in the AP, & part of me feels this was another ploy to put a feather in the cap of the $EC. Any fan of the game, who saw how UO ended the season, plus seeing the difference makers on both O & Def leave the team via draft or transfer portal, along w/ a brand new ROOKIE head coach would not have this team as 11th. Utah should’ve been 11th & UO should’ve been no higher than 20th to start this season.
Also, through the 1st 3 drives, UO was moving on UGA. Results?
-UO at the 50 for a 3rd & 3, have a wheel route open w/ the defender not looking for the ball. Result? Nix hit defender in the back w/ his pass
-UO at the 50 for a 1st & 10. Nix takes a deep shot. Result? Under thrown ball, leads to an int.
-UO at UGA’s 30, Nix throws into triple coverage. Result? Int.
U can’t win w/ that type of QB play, which is another reason y UO had no business being 11th, Nix is a proven overrated QB.
Furthermore, u do realize there’s a stark difference between reloading & replacing, correct? We got beat like a drum vs. Bama who “reloaded” across the board. Result? They were in the Nat’l title game. I think it’s disingenuous to try to mock UGA’s roster using terminology like “they replaced.” When u r recruiting at an elite, ELITE level, where ur freshman r either RS FR or true sophomores by the time it’s there turn, that’s not replacing; that’s reloading. It’s no different than ER20 leaving then we reloaded w/ ST26 or Shockey leaving & reloading w/ Winslow, while reloading w/ Olsen.
That’s how dynasties r built & sustained.
