If you think the run game is bad..

[theribdoctor]

Paul Johnson is rolling over in his grave

and taking out the knees of the other team.

 

[Bender]

If we ran the ball from the same looks where we throw out of, people wouldn't complain about the run game. It's the only issue I have with it.

 

[NCCanefan]

We are 5-0 and overall better than most expected. If the run game were better we'd need to find a new complaint.

How'd no one try to poach this guy in the portal

Jeanty is legit...but he isnt keeping this pace. But every game he seems to have 1-2 60+ yard runs.

 

[Zombie-Cane]

What he's doing is impossible.

The last RB to win the heisman was Derrick Henry. In 15 games he had:

395 att - 2,219 yds - 28 TD

Jeanty's 15 game pace is:

308 att - 3,168 yds - 49 TD's

You’re creating a pace off a 4 game sample size. Not the greatest idea. Let’s revisit his stats at year end, ok?

Is that the thUGA “G” on that attachment? I didn’t expect to see that there.

They played Clemson, Kentucky, and Bama...

It could be worse! View attachment 305579

Oh not big bad UGA

I read what you wrote. You have an implied comparison that out stats absent garbage time are abysmal. So, you took out Ga. Abyssmal compared to who with their garbage time time removed?

We are a pass first team with alignment to pass.

You are a fellow canes fan so I’m going to assume you are a fan of football and you have watched every snap of every one of our games this year.

If you can honestly look at our body of work in the running game and believe it is anything but abysmal, then this conversation isn’t worth having. Theres a reason Cam has to convert so many third and longs and there’s a reason a ton of people on here are questioning the run game.

I’m aware of their schedule, Im just surprised to see their logo on the graphic because they are a dominant type program that puts value in having a strong running game.

Which is why I said what Jeanty is doing is impossible.

I can't see any way he keeps up this pace - but at the same time, who on the schedule do you think is slowing him down? Utah St? Hawaii?

To give some historical context to what Jeanty is doing.

Barry Sanders had the greatest season ever:
12 games - 373 att - 2,850 yds - 7.6 ypc - 42 TD's

Here's Jeantys first 4 games vs Barry Sanders first 4 games that season:

Jeanty - 82 att - 845 yds - 10.3 ypc - 13 TD's
Sanders - 95 att - 813 yds - 8.6 ypc - 13 TD's

 

[Brickell]

What possible reason could there be for UGA's lack of a running game?

Agree, not worth having

The run game is bad

And it's not just the backs or the blocking. It's both.

Put it this way...FSU is getting more yards before contact AND their backs are averaging more yards after contact. With that garbage offense. The gator offense has been significantly better than ours at generating yards before contact. Looks where all the elite offenses are. Bama, Taint, Tennessee isn't elite at space but their backs are eating, Ole Miss, Oregon, Clemson etc. All much more efficient. It's hard to tell exactly but how many teams have been worse at creating yards before contact? 10?

I love Navy lmao

And there are people on this thread trying to say our run game has been perfectly ok talk about kool aid

 

[Dghustla]

Georgia has played 4 games we have played 5.

Also, not related to Georgia per se, but if you take away our garbage time running yards, our stats are abysmal.

That doesn’t sound the way you think it might.

Those other teams have had garbage time opportunities and still haven’t run for as much as we have.

*Not saying our run game can’t be better.

When it’s been needed, it’s been good. I still think we have a 100% success rate on 3rd and 4th and short. But it most certainly has not been good overall.

 

[Memnon]

The everlasting thirst by Miami fans for us to be Michigan still remains to be quenched...

 

[Disgustipated]

Just a bunch of teams with tight OL splits

**** that gets said on this board is next level stupid

Look at the other half of Boise State's offensive production. It is, well, offensive.

Usually teams that have an RB do what he's doing suck at passing and Boise is no different. Vice versa with teams that put up video game numbers passing. Let us also not forget that Boise isn't exactly playing an $EC schedule either, although he did play well against Oregon, who's not a bad defensive team but also not real good.

Oregon is the #37 run defense. Jeanty put up 192 & 3TD's. In Oregon's 3 other games combined they've given up 227 & 3 TD's.

Now look at the run defenses we've played:

USF - #73
VT - #103
UF - #110
Ball St - #125

It doesn't get much easier than that.

And we're about to face #29 Cal & #23 Louisville.

Cam Ward is Superman, but the run game better step it up starting this week.
