When we had to have a touchdown on our last drive, and on third and goal we throw a fade ......out of bounds? The fade doesn't have a great percentage of success in the NFL, what do you think the percentage it is with Stephen Johnson? That was a brutal play call. The Badet drop was huge, but the 4th quarter play calling spelled doom and that's where I lay blame.

You don't let Johnson throw period with an 8 point lead, in control, at home, a dominate offensive
line and a chance to put them away by ramming the ball down their throat with Snell, all while
resting our defense.
We allow Georgia to do the exact opposite to us.
A field goal short of getting over the hump. Not good.
UK still in 2nd place in the SEC east.

I think some of you guys need a timeout. That was another inane post. Just let it go for a couple days.
I love the guy but it's simply not true. That, plus playing the softest zone/man coverage on their final drive plus the weakest attempt to score at the end of the game (20+ straight wildcat runs and a cold QB throws a fade?) is what cost us the game. We played to be close, not to win. And, frankly, I'm sick of it. Badet made a mistake but we had time to make it up. It's like saying Chubb's two fumbles cost them a blowout, simply not true in the context of the game.
We've let it go for about five decades. Banjo bowl is a measure of success for what?
How is it not true? He catches that ball and its more than likely a TD. We would have been up two scores.
I agree the play calling at times was bad, but that drop/interception pretty much killed any momentum we had. Not sure how that's even debatable.
Now 12-56 versus Georgia all-time.
.176 winning percentage - we're a effing joke and always have been.

Living in the past is just wrong road to go down. Tomorrow is a new day and has chance to be different than yesterday. Beat Tenn!
Long ago I finally figured out that a lot of posts I see during a game is just venting, so I don't pay it much mind.
That said, some of you guys are completely miserable.

Tenn and Georgia, Fla has seen their worst teams in recent memory the last 2 years, and we go 0-3. So typical.
People always want to blame the game on something. The playcalling, a bad play by a player or whatever. we just didn't make plays when we needed to on both sides of the ball. The kids tried their best and the coaches tried their best we just came up short. It sucks because we had our chances. If you look at the stats in reality we were lucky to be in a tie game at the end. 3rd down conversions was more of a difference than turnovers were.
I think one of the key penalties that killed us was our failure to have 11 players on the field instead of 12 when we had Georgia 3rd and long. That lies at the feet of our coaches. I didn't like the fade to Brick hands Baker of all receivers either. Tavin Richardson has caught everything thrown to him in the little bit of playing time he's had. Made a great catch for crucial first down tonight only to be nullified by a holding penalty. The fact that Baker would play over Richardson, Johnson would play over Hoak (hell yes remove the redshirt, we got beat by a true freshman tonight), shows the incompetence of this coaching staff when it comes to judging talent. Everybody got all excited because we beat crap teams in our conference. Tennessee will beat us like a rented mule. And UL, I might have to drink to watch that beat down.
I want to call you an idiot and you deserve it but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you are just frustrated at what could of been. But UGA has more talent than us and have been a similar team as us all season. They were favored by 2.5 by vegas so yes we had business losing to them. We could of won and it sucks we didnt and our coaches have to learn from the mistakes made...... But UGA was still able to put themselves in position to win and deserved the win.
But that doesnt change the fact this season is a success for OUR GOALS. Im 35 ... tell me how many times we've been bowling since I was born? And then realize why just going to a bowl game is a great start to a building process.
