Transcript
- Ted Turner: Greetings, everyone, on this Sunday night post Georgia Vanderbilt. And this is an episode I think that will be one of the hottest ones to date. ⁓ why? Well, we'll get into it ⁓ here in a little bit, but we're happy to have you tonight. It is officially Bama Hate Week. ⁓ we are done with Vanderbilt. We're obviously gonna recap, look at what we learned before we have a big week of ⁓ Kind of opening up ⁓ on what's to expect for Alabama and ⁓ lots to talk about tonight and the rest of the week. So let's hop right in tonight. ⁓ welcome back to Dogs Down South. if you don't know, we talk about all things Georgia football, the SEC, and everything happening between the hedges. ⁓ so Georgia, five-0 overall, three and ⁓ in the SEC after taking down Vanderbilt, 38 to 14. Let's be honest. Everybody's asking, was this really a comfortable 38 to 14 win? ⁓ because if you watch the first half, which I know we all did, and a lot of people had questions about, I had some concerns, but I think I I didn't have as many concerns as some people. ⁓ but I'm willing to talk through that and let you know my opinion. But ⁓ if if you watch the first half, there were some things that Had Georgia fans like scratching their heads, right? ⁓ so and then, you know, Georgia absolutely took over the second half. ⁓ so in today's episode, we're gonna break down obviously all things Georgia Vanderbilt. We're gonna talk some Gunner Stockton. Was it his best game yet? ⁓ offensive concerns, defensive concerns. ⁓ we're gonna talk about impact players. ⁓ you know, maybe, maybe some of the reasons why Vanderbilt gave Georgia some problems in the first half. ⁓ little Glenn Schumann, a little Mike Bobo, offensive-defensive game plans. ⁓ what we got to fix before Alabama, and we're gonna completely put Vanderbilt to bed before we start with some couple extra episodes next week on Bama Hate Week. ⁓ and then obviously our normal ⁓ Wednesday night show ⁓ during the week. And then we're gonna end, as always, with my week six SEC power rankings. So before we hop in tonight, thank you for all the support. If you haven't already done so.

Bulldogs finished with 471 total yards, 295 passing yards, 176 rushing, 66 offensive plays. Vanderbilt finished with 293 total. ⁓ but but here's a number that really jumps out. Vanderbilt had 234 yards in the first half, which is probably what has everybody's kind of ears perked up, right? ⁓ you could look at the game and you could see some things from, you know, a botched ⁓ you know, a botched play call as far as on the defensive side of the ball. And we're going to talk about kind of what we saw in that and then the drive right before half. And then Georgia does what Georgia usually does and goes and makes great halftime adjustments and absolutely shuts down the second half. But the story of the game was, you know, Jordan did Georgia didn't necessarily dominate from the opening whistle. But Georgia adjusted. They responded and then he completely took over in the second half. So let's hop in first with Gunner. I I think we we've we've waited a little bit in in past shows to really talk about Gunnar Stockton, but I think Gunner Stockton needs to be at the very first of the show because Gunnar Stockton had himself a day. Okay. 25 of 32 passing, 295 yards, three touchdowns. He also rushed for 22 yards. This was his highest. passing yard total of the season. And what impressed me most was the was the efficiency in how he did it. Now, I have read the comments over and over and over in past years as well as this season. I once again will kind of re-up my answer I'm sorry, re-up my take on the fact that if you if your dads, granddad's, friends ⁓ that you know of and they're and they're caretakers or Their significant others are not getting them off of Facebook or getting them off of chat sites where they're saying some of the dumbest stuff I've ever heard. Please check on your folks, get your folks, because some stupid stuff is being said out there. Because Gunnar Stockton on this past Saturday, he threw the deep ball about as well as he's thrown it in his career. Okay. That is huge for Georgia. Why? Because everybody's concern was is number one, this year, can we be explosive? Number two, does Gunnar Stockton have the arm to be explosive? Do we do we have the accuracy? Do we have the receivers to be explosive? Do we have you pretty much lay the blank out there? Everybody's asking to fill in the blank of how we're going to be explosive this year. Georgia had 10 different receivers catch a ball on Saturday. And a lot of times when you looked around, it's like, man, like who do I cover? And for me, There should be teams that are coming our way that are like, man, if I shut him down, what about him? And if I shut him down, what about this? And if I shut this group down, what about this group? It is extremely hard to prepare for it. It will be extremely hard for Alabama to prepare for. I will start off by saying, and I'm not going to go too far into this yet, but if if everybody sitting at home right now is thinking this is going to be a hard Alabama team to prepare for, Alabama is sitting at home going, this is going to be a tough Tough and hard Georgia team to prepare for. It will be their biggest game of the year. So let's not downplay it. Alabama isn't this giant right now. Are they playing well? Yes. Is Georgia playing well? Yes. But that's why the game has four quarters. If we were to shut the game off at halftime and that was the extent of the game, then yeah, today would be a show that that really looked back at, okay, what do we really need to work on so that Georgia can get better so we can go. I don't know, win ball games by more points. And I don't know what like I don't know what Georgia fans want to see as far as like Cadillac or Lamborghini experiences. But, you know, nobody's looking at the Notre Dames out there that barely beat North Carolina. Nobody's looking at two weeks ago when Indiana barely scraped by Northwestern. Northwestern's coming along as a good team, barely scraped by. But there's some other teams out there that have had some very lackluster performances. Alabama had a very lackluster performance against Kentucky if you few weeks ago where they had three turnovers in the first half. And if they didn't have the second half, I they don't, I don't know if they win that football game. You can you can you can beg the diffrif against Florida State if they don't have a lightning delay, if Florida State doesn't give them some problems. So everybody's like, Alabama is the hottest team in the country. Alabama was the hottest team this week. Okay. And that's how the SEC is and Kirby tried to describe that in his presser. Every single week is a new week in the SEC. It's a different week. Teams have to get up They have to prepare and they have to understand, regardless of if you're playing Arkansas and Vanderbilt and South Carolina or Alabama, Texas, and Ole Miss, you're gonna have to prepare and you're gonna have to come with your A game because it's gonna be tough every single week. Back to Gunner, okay? So ⁓ he wasn't just throwing like dots, in my opinion. He was attacking Vanderbilt down the field. I'll replay this. He's attacking Vanderbilt down the field. Landon Rawaldon had a 55 yard. ⁓ reception that set Georgia up on the one yard line. I'm talking like it would have been hard for Landon Raldon to not catch that ball. He basically said, I'm going to put it right in your breadbasket. So all you got to do is put your hands out and try to score. That's it. Very, very impressive ball, right? Dwight Phillips Jr. had five catches, 75 yards and a touchdown. I I thought the, I thought the, you know, the zero blitz and gunner threw, I mean, it was that is hard to do. To throw a check down perfectly on the money so that Dwight Phillips not only catches it, but he catches it in stride. And after that, it's it's it's home run. Dwight Phillips is a home run, right? But if you throw that ball a tick behind him or a tick in, you know, like more outside or inside, it doesn't get what it gets. And so the credit, the credit for Gunnar Stockton in the small entities of what he did and the big entities of what he did was huge. ⁓ obviously the loss and lucky play where ⁓ it was tipped. Lawson ⁓ was lucky, as there, as a lot of people are calling it. 43-yard reception in the second half. Georgia had 10 different players. I mentioned it earlier. That's a nightmare for defenses to prepare for. ⁓ you can't just take one guy away. And I think if you're Alabama this week, that is something that's going on already in those coaches' minds. ⁓ But I mean, I I think we would, you know, I think what everybody's gonna want to get from this episode tonight is is. You know, what were the concerns from the first half? And I'm willing to to to dabble in this a little bit. I know, you know, I was in a group chat with a couple of buddies, and you know, I tend to try to lean towards, you know, I try to lean towards the fact that this is a nine-game SEC slate. Everything every week is not always going to be dominant. Okay, it's not always going to be dominant. These are human beings that have to get up from I mean, I look at it this way, right? Do you have an exceptional day at work? Every single day. Are there days where you go to work and you feel like, man, I just knocked it out of the park today? I was fired on all four cylinders. I felt the best about today. I got the most work ever today, right? You have those days where you come in and you you just feel like you got to get this stuff done. You want to go be, you know, go be elite in this, you want to go do this and you want to perform well. And you just get home some days and you're man, I didn't have my best day, right? I think some players didn't have their best day. And What you what you have to make sure and do is you have to have as a team, you have to pick each other up. At times, I felt like we didn't run the ball as good as we've ran the ball in the past. But Gunnar in the passing game picked us up. I felt like there were times in the first half where the defense felt like the secondary didn't support what was going on in the front. I felt like we stopped the run decently well ⁓ in the first half because the game plan was to be physical and to shorten the game by Vanderbilt. They also were, if you remember this correctly, I think we were planning for rain, right? So Vanderbilt's game plan was we're gonna be in the rain. We we gotta get this done on the ground because Georgia's gonna get it done on the ground, right? I think their defensive game plan was take away the run. I think their offensive game plan was let's shorten the game. Let's not allow them to have explosives. That's that's a jingle to hear, right? Let's not allow Georgia to have explosives. I don't think any team has prepared in the last two years. To go, man, if Georgia has explosives, we're done. They're more to the fact of if Georgia runs it down our throat and plays the defense they're capable of doing, it's gonna be a long day for us. So, you know, we're gonna talk about Burst have concerns, but I'm gonna talk about them and I'm gonna I'm gonna give it to you straight. But I just feel like it wasn't as the sky is falling as everybody wants to present it. Okay. ⁓ let's talk about wasn't what wasn't pretty, okay. There was absolutely some concerns in some areas. ⁓ what concern like what but for you for you right now, I want to know from you if you're if you're hopping in the comments, if you're dropping anything in these videos later on, like what concern you more ⁓ coming out of this game, Georgia's offense or Georgia's defense? ⁓ because you could say in some entities in the first half that we didn't run the ball as effective, but you could also say the first drive we had was 10, 10 throws back to back to back. So, you know, you can look at both sides of everything and go, we really didn't have a running attack planned. And I don't know the mindset of Mike Bobo, but I do know that Gunnar Stockton had 10 straight throws to to put the first seven on the board. Okay. For me, offensively, biggest biggest concern to me was when we did hand the ball off, at times we looked like we really didn't just have the push that we normally have had. We didn't have the physicality up front we normally have had. We didn't have those holes that we've seen in the first three or four games. Now, what I will tell you is, is I think when you look at Western Kentucky, when you look at Tennessee State, I mean, let's just look at that. Okay. This is not, I mean, yes, this is a Vanderbilt team that kind of is down at the bottom of the SEC power rankings and I'm gonna reveal later on. But that but I still think they're a very well coached team. I think this is a down year for them, but not in all areas. I think the defense is still pretty solid. I think their offensive line and defensive lines are still a strength for them. ⁓ I think they have some really good receivers that I mentioned Junior Sherrill on the show that led up, you know, the the Wednesday night show that led up to Georgia Vanderbilt. I mentioned that he was the guy to look for. ⁓ and he was. I mean, he was he was very elite. ⁓ I think we prepared for Jared Curtis. We got a little bit more. ⁓ of the of the backup. But I I love how people are kind of saying, well, he's the backup, but guys, he was the he started the first game of the year. So the so both of these guys have have been back and forth for playing time. But for me, when you look at the concern ⁓ it wasn't a concern of statistically what we did on offense. It was more of I think what we did when we did run the ball on offense. Twenty rushing yards, ten carries in the first half, that's a eye opening thing for for most Georgia fans, right? It's not Georgia football. We we we we Probably were saying that over and over. ⁓ Vanderbilt wasn't allowing Georgia to simply line up and run and run downhill either. Okay. Their game plan was, remind you, it was supposed to be, in my opinion, and and Kirby said it. He it was supposed to be raining. He didn't say it was supposed to be raining, but he said it was hotter than they anticipated, which means I think there was it was muggy, rain was on on on deck, but it didn't happen. And so, you know, there you are. Game plans differed a little bit. No Jared Curtis. ⁓ rain, there was some different nuances of what was going on. So what did Georgia do? They went to the passing game. And I and I think the passing game was incredibly solid for Georgia. I think Gunnar Stockton, as we mentioned earlier, he answered the he answered the bell. Georgia ultimately finished with 176 rushing yards, but a huge chunk came late. Obviously you saw the Bow Walker, 59 yard run. Chauncey had 10 carries, 31 yards and a TD. So you know the question becomes was Vanderbilt actually exposing something about Georgia's rushing attack. Or was he simply a game where Vanderbilt committed to stopping the run? I would tell you that's a huge question going into Alabama. Okay. And I do think that there was some parts of Clark Lee. He, I mean, Clark Lee's a defensive guy. He likes the lineup. He likes to, you know, he likes to be physical. ⁓ he comes from the Kirby Smart type era. ⁓ so I I mean I think I think Vanderbilt wanted to stop the run. I think Vanderbilt knew if they could, especially with the with the chances of Nate Frazier not being in the game, you know, what what could we do? What could Vanderbilt do to put us in a situation where Gunnar Stockton had to win the game, right? Or just control the game, right? And I think what the good news was is what we talked about in the first, is that Gunnar Stockton had his best game of the year, which is really good news for Georgia fans. So why was the first half so tough? Here's where I think Vanderbilt deserves a ton of credit. Okay. Kirby Smart even acknowledged afterward that Vanderbilt had a really good game plan. ⁓ did a good job of shrinking the game down. Okay. ⁓ their offense was schemed around shrinking the game time. ⁓ once again, I'm gonna say it again, reiterating, preparing for possible rain. All I heard all week was rain, rain. Three to five inches is all I heard. It was supposed to be raining all over the southeast, and it didn't. So ⁓ but Vanderbilt was willing to play physical, control the possessions, and make Georgia execute. And and for the first half, it worked, right? Vanderbilt 234 yards of total offense in the first half, Georgia 215. Vanderbilt was also five of nine on third down. That was that was incredible for Vanderbilt. ⁓ you know, that's a big reason that Vanderbilt was still in in a one score game at the end of the first half. ⁓ I think they did some really elite things. I I think there was a couple calls here or there that could have gone different ways. Now, before I get into, you know, the flip, the switch of the flip, ⁓ the two drives. So let's talk about the 14 points that landed on the board from Vanderbilt, which mind you, that game could have been forty five fourteen, you know. Georgia caught off the dogs, no pun intended, right? So we get down there, we kneel the ball down 38-14, but we had the big run by Bo. If Bo continues to go, it's 45-14. So maybe the game looks a little more impressive. ⁓ but that's how it's gonna be with top five teams. But I also think that's how it's gonna be with Georgia. Georgia has gotten this kind of ⁓ I don't know, monologue when you're when you listen to them, whether it's SEC. ⁓ whether SEC network or whether ESP and we've got and we're gonna hear a lot more of it. ⁓ the Rap Poison is coming out this weekend. Obviously, if you haven't heard Get College Game Day, we'll be in Tuscaloosa for Georgia, Alabama. The Rat Poison will continue this weekend. But but Georgia and Kirby Smart love this. I remember sitting, you know, in front of T N T V screen when George has played Texas and you know, they the whole panel's picked Texas. Listen, everybody in the world will be against Georgia this weekend. Go ahead and be ready. ⁓ it's gonna happen. Okay. So just go ahead and get your, you know, your ears ready. If you don't wanna hear it, plug ⁓ don't watch it, whatever. ⁓ but but what I will tell you is is that the two plays, I'm gonna dissect the first one to you, right? Why does Junior Cheryl catch a 60 yard pass that looks completely we look completely lost, okay? Here's what happened. If you look down at Braylon Conley, Braylon Conley's coming on a quarterback blitz, cornerback blitz. Whether you wanna like it or not, it was the call. It's where Schumann had us, right? He blitzes. If you stop the film, KJ Bolden is really tight and closer up into the box and he is making some changes. Okay. Very, very good call by Berlowitz to snap the ball because whether he saw something or he looks back and he goes, ⁓ I I don't see anything on the back end. We snap the ball. You know, corner comes in. We now we have ⁓ Kyron that has to be mids. ⁓ he's a little bit behind the eight ball, but we're not stopping in the mids. I think Kyron was fine in the mids. But what didn't happen was is that ⁓ now KJ is responsible for deep thirds. He was not there, and here we go, we pop a 60 yard play. And so, you know, that was that was huge in in in so many Tim Mesties. What's up, man? Can we borrow Kirby for a few games? ⁓ man, ⁓ we we got our hands full. We're gonna need Kirby this week, man. But good to see you, Tim. Hope you're doing well. ⁓ so when you look back at it, that's the kind of a you know, quote unquote bust. ⁓ it happened. Junior Cheryl scores. It's still a touchdown, right? ⁓ and then the other one, obviously you look and you go, man, you know, the the plays that happen before half to get them down. We've seen this a couple of times, right? So I mean, the long drive, the the 14 points, dog fans, I would just say, I think dog fans sometimes are just a little bit ⁓ I think they're just a little bit spoiled. You're you're spoiled. You know, I mean, we are playing in the SEC. I mean, ⁓ Tim's in here right now, and I will tell you, Auburn right now. We play Auburn in two weeks. Nobody's looking at Auburn as anything other than a than a very much an elite opponent in the SEC, regardless of how anybody will call it out there. Any given day, any of these teams in the SEC can go out and win a football game. If this conference this year has not proven that, then I mean it's electric every single week. You look at Kentucky this past weekend going for two ⁓ on the road. I mean, Will Stein and Kentucky. Wow. ⁓ but but that's how it's gonna be. And so I you know, when you look at the first half. That's kind of what that's kind of what the rundown was. Now, Georgia, here here's the the good news, right? The good news is that I said it earlier. We play four quarters. ⁓ there was I think Georgia fans, you know, should actually feel they should feel pretty good about the adjustments that were made, right? This same team that came came out with a game plan. Now we now Georgia comes out, adjusts, comes out with a s with a third and fourth quarter game plan. ⁓ Georgia, you know, led 21-14. Vanderbilt scored zero points in the second half. The Commodores managed only 61 total yards. Georgia scored 17 unanswered second half points. And suddenly a competitive game turned into a blowout. In my mind, that's championship level adjustments. Okay. Huge. And we've seen this in the past. I mean, we've seen the Bama games. We've we've fallen short. And I know that's going to haunt us. It's like, you know, do we, do we have, do we have what it takes to to do that again in the second half? Or do we just need to look better in the first half, which is a question that comes to my mind. But I love how Georgia was very stingy in the second half, tightened up the defense. Gunner Stockton led a 12-play, six-minute plus touchdown drive late in the game. ⁓ you know, that's the kind of drive that breaks opponents' spirits, right? Especially when he's putting the ball in such tight places. That's a huge thing for Gunner. And that's what I think. I mean, you have the interception by Ellis Robinson, which was huge. You had a lot of really good things going in the second half. And and that explains the the game. I mean, it lasts four quarters and that's where we ended up. And to a lot of Georgia fans, the sky was falling after after that. But, you know, in my opinion, it it's a it's a it's not a complete game, but it's a it's a very I would say it's a good win at home versus Vanderbilt team that was very hungry, you know. I repeat, Georgia is going to get everybody's best game. Georgia will get everybody's best game for the rest of the year. And our slate has gotten a lot harder, ⁓ right. Although we've seen, I mean, and after you watch the rest of the games throughout the day, I mean, wouldn't you be happy with a Georgia win? No offense. I mean, Florida. All they all you heard last week was Florida, how dominant Florida was, right? And Florida goes in. They look humid against Missouri, right? This is a Missouri team that you'll hear my power rankings at the end. They moved up in my power rankings because they were able to really ⁓ stop the run. Jaden Ball was not effective. And they were able to put the the ball in the hands of of Philo and he couldn't win it for them. And the in the in the secondary, which I mentioned about Florida last week, was able wasn't able to stop. I mean, Austin Simmons is like a Heisman candidate. So ⁓ let's talk about defensive standouts real quick. I thought KJ Bolden had seven tackles, looked incredible. I think he is getting ⁓ he's getting his nose up in the run game, which is incredible. I think Raylan Wilson has been solid as oak in the middle. ⁓ seven tackles as well. ⁓ he continues to be the most consistent, in my opinion, even though there's standouts like Chris Cole, Justin Williams. ⁓ Ellis with the with the interception, I thought DeMelo had ⁓ a key ⁓ PI to to get them. I I think we could have held them to a field goal. I think DeMelo had a key PI that put the the seven points on the board. It's could have been a 10-point game, which was a lot was really what everybody thought, you know, might happen. You know, Vanderbilt was gonna score 10. Would that have made you more happy? I mean, with 10 instead of 14, that'd have made you sleep better and not have Georgia fans, you know, falling off their rocker on this morning going, if we play like this. And then we're gonna get smoked by all of it. I can't even, it's just hard to read, man. Huge play by Ellis Robinson. ⁓ first interception of the year, and Georgia turned that turnover into a touchdown. Jordan Hall, man, can't overlook Jordan Hall. ⁓ he he blocked the 58-yard field goal attempt. That was Georgia's first block field goal since 2024. I'll repeat that. That's Georgia's first. We're not talking about that this morning, right? Or this afternoon, right? ⁓ Georgia's first block field goal since 2024. The turnover margin was not there on Saturday, but remember. This was a team that was not they they're they're very disciplined. Yet penalties came into play, but Clark Lee's teams are going to be disciplined. And I thought they were. ⁓ there were penalties, but I think they were not like bonehead plays. They were things that could have gone either way. And trust me, there was plenty of holding calls, plenty, plenty of holding calls, in my opinion, that weren't called, maybe both sides, but there was a lot, ⁓ in my opinion, that kept Berlowitz a little bit clean throughout the entire day. So let's talk about what troubled Georgia. ⁓ here's one of the biggest discussion questions from tonight. ⁓ what exactly did Vanderbilt do that gave Georgia such a hard time? Because we talked about the first half, we talked about, you know, the standout, we talked about how we kind of re-up at the second half. But like a lot of dog bands are going to be like, well, what did really Vanderbilt do? Okay. Number one, they slowed the run game. They slowed everything we were doing down. Okay. Whether it was what they were showing and Gunner was taking what they were giving him. I mean, You could say that ⁓ like I said earlier, when we did run the ball, it wasn't as clean and it wasn't as explosive and it wasn't as ⁓ dominant up front. ⁓ you were playing a like a Clark Lee led defense, which I always think will be good. Clark Lee's a very good defensive mind. ⁓ but I think they slowed the run game down. Georgia had only 20 rushing yards in the first half. That was the big change as far as controlling the clock and keeping them off the field, which you saw versus Oklahoma, Arkansas. Tennessee State and ⁓ Western Kentucky. Number two, they converted third downs. That was huge. We couldn't get off the field sometimes, right? That's always gonna be a head scratcher. We've been through years of Georgia football where we're sitting there on third down. We can't get off the field. And those are things that are that that will drive Kirby crazy. Whether it was penalties, whether it was ⁓ I don't think it was a lot of blown coverages. It was just honestly, there was a couple of plays where Berlowitz was just ⁓ was was just, I don't think it was elite. He was just good enough to where we weren't there. I mean, five of nine on third down. The last four weeks, we've been more like two of nine, two of ten on third down. So we weren't allowing much on third down. Number three, they attacked vertically, which I think Georgia needed to see that, right? Alabama's gonna try to do the same thing. Keelan Russell is an incredible talent. I think they have some home run hitters for Alabama. ⁓ but I think that 60 yard touchdown showed that Vanderbilt was willing to challenge Georgia's secondary. ⁓ and the good news is that was a blown, that was a blown assignment, right? So it I would be more troubled if somebody was physically getting beat on the corner by a Vanderbilt receiver. And and don't get me wrong, Junior Sheryl is a very talented receiver. I mean, I called his name out last week for a reason. I think he's very talented. ⁓ and this leads directly into Alabama because Alabama isn't Vanderbilt. And we know that. That's what scares George's fans so much, right? Because if you give Alabama those explosive plays, you're gonna have a much bigger problem because this is probably a much better defense. I'm gonna say it is a better defense. but more physical team. ⁓ and Cade Walmax defense is really playing at an elite level when it comes down to turnover margin, right? I think Georgia is too, but that has to scare you because it comes to the fact of, you know, how different are the defenses statistically, how different are the offenses. ⁓ I think they're they're they're vastly different on both ends, but they're, they're the same in a lot of ways as well. That's why I think it's going to be an incredible matchup on ⁓ on Saturday night. ⁓ A lot of a lot of fans too, I want to address this. You know, there was, you know, people were like, you know, with Bobo, Schumann, things of that nature. I mean, I I wrote some notes down here about Bobo, you know. Let's see, you know, let's it's gonna get controversial, I'm sure, but I don't think you can look at the final numbers and say Bobo called a bad game. First off, wipe that off your slate. Okay. Four hundred and seventy one yards of total offense, thirty eight points, two hundred and ninety eight, two hundred and ninety five passing yards, three touchdowns. But I do think it's fair to ask why Georgia struggled so much to establish the run early, or are we all duped and it was never in the plan, right? I don't know. I mean, you would scratch your head and go, why would we not run the ball? Okay. I don't know. I mean, is it is it a combination of, you know, Nate? ⁓ is it a combination of keeping Chauncey and and Dwight healthy? ⁓ and they feel like they can. We've had more, I feel like we've had more feelings this year. Like if we do this, like we can still win the the football game. I don't know. Do I feel like Kirby plays like that? No. Do I feel like Mike Bobo and this team play? No. No, I don't. But I also will tell you that ⁓ Kirby Kirby's like a fine wine in coaching, in my opinion. People won't agree with this, but I will tell you, I think he gets better as it continues. I think he gets better even in how he coaches. in front of people, in front of the media, in front of other teams, and on tape, in front of reporters. I I mean, I think he's doing everything, or at least trying to, at a very elite level, because there's no there's no week where anyone can have ⁓ a hand up in what's going on. I mean, you heard it you heard it last week. I mean at the end of the day, like they said something about Oregon tipping their plays. ⁓ when they lost that game And you know, it maybe it is happening. I I haven't seen Oregon done like that in a long time. So maybe it was happening. you know, at the end of the day, I I will tell you that Kirby is is is doing a really good job at all facets of the game right now. There are probably a lot of people that would disagree with that comment, and that's fine. But I just think he's doing a really good job. I I I think it's fair though to ask, did we struggle in the run game? Was Vanderf was Vanderbilt simply winning up front? Was Georgia too predictable? ⁓ did Randall Bolt know what was coming. I don't think any of that's true. Or, you know, was Bobo correctly recognized the passing game was the matchup. You know, you to remember Gunnar Stockton has a lot more lead way this year in the offense. Okay. He has a lot more lead way. He's changing a lot of calls. He's doing a lot of things at the line of scrimmage. It's on him way more than it's ever been on him. Okay. ⁓ so my verdict is I I don't think my Bobo had a bad game at all. So if if you look at at the Bobo nonsense in this one. ⁓ you know, Alabama will tell us much more, obviously. ⁓ you know, Georgia can't run the football against Alabama and becomes one-dimensional. ⁓ that's where the criticism of Bobo becomes much more legitimate, in my, in my, in my humble opinion, okay. But I'm gonna try to stay away from Alabama because we're gonna we're gonna definitely be previewing them more. We're gonna do an extra show this week, probably on Tuesday night before Wednesday night. So ⁓ make sure you're a part of that. ⁓ let's talk about Schumann a little bit because there were questions about Schumann, ⁓ which is ⁓ totally legitimate as well. I mean, ⁓ I asked myself even on the on the 60 yard pass by Cheryl. You know, why are we cornerback blitzing? I didn't I don't know that scheme and and kind of philosophy of why we would go that route. ⁓ I'm not doubting it nor questioning it. I'm just just kind of questioning myself and what I'm seeing and what's happening in the game. You know, Berlowitz was more of a guy that rolled, you know, two to the side of the ball hand, ⁓ just to I think he's more comfortable on the run, in my opinion. You saw him make his best throws, in my opinion. Rolling to his right. ⁓ we blitzed from ⁓ we blitzed from the weak side. And so I don't I don't really know there what the scheme was, but I, you know, I don't think you panic, right? ⁓ there's there was definitely things to clean up. you know, Vanderbilt had those 235 first half yards, ⁓ but the good news is is he made incredible adjustments. Like he he made absolutely elite adjustments, 61 total yards in the second half. Okay. I mean, that's huge. Zero points. Zero points in the second half. And Georgie Creed of the key fourth down stop in Ellis Robinson's interception was huge. That was a crazy good catch, too. It was really good to see Ellis. I thought Ellis looked good. I thought Demelo and Demelo's fine. I just did I just questioned a little couple of DeMellos like just where he at where he was where he was as far as playing the ball. But you know, the the only one that looked really bad, I thought, was the PI. I mean, ⁓ at that point in time, like. If you're looking back, seeing the ball, and you realize it's not as bang bang as it was. I don't know if you have to go all out and PI right there. So, ⁓ so I so I would describe it this way. You know, the scheme wasn't broken. I just think Georgia simply had to make adjustments to Vanderbilt's formations, motions, passing concepts, maybe not a lot on tape when Burlowith was showing us. ⁓ and once they did, Vanderbilt basically really couldn't move the ball at all. So I think you can close the book on, you know, where Schumann lied in that. ⁓ So let's let's talk about like who had the biggest impact. ⁓ we talked about defensive standouts. I think on offense, you look at Gunner Stockton. Man, what a what a great game for Gunner. 25 of 32, 295, three touchdowns, best passing performance of his season. We mentioned that earlier. I think Dwight Phillips Jr., five catches, 75 yards. Man, he is fun to watch, man. Extremely fun to watch. ⁓ he came into the game with only five career catches. That is crazy. Okay. Five career catches, and he had five in the same day. ⁓ he left with a career day. ⁓ we talked about the block plan earlier. I think other notables on offense that I thought was really I thought the offensive line was much better in the second half. I really liked the the offensive line in the second half. I thought it was ⁓ really good to see that, the adjustments being made. I mean, there was even some plays in the first half where I was just scratching my head going, you know, I ever I think everybody saw they would walk the the ⁓ corner to it with either the corner or their one of their safeties up to the line. And Ernest Green was just in a four-point, I mean he was a four-point stance and just not like we there was no way we were blocking that, right? Especially the one that caught us off guard that almost became a safety for Gunner. So ⁓ that was that was head scratcher right there. And then the one where ⁓ it happened again later on, I I probably because I think we thought it was third down, but it but we did get the first down, so we were in a little bit different of a play call. And I think once we realized it, I think we probably should have just took a timeout, but We didn't and it happened again. And so, but I think the second time it was just clear miscommunication on a fact where we were lined up in earth and one and we didn't realize we got the first down. So ⁓ so we'll talk about how Georgia compares nationally. I know I mentioned earlier, I was like, you know, let's look at let's look at the the entire day, right? Let's let's talk about let's let's give us some stuff for Georgia fans to kind of chew on this week. ⁓ since they since some of you are like You're literally going to go into Monday ⁓ with your blood pressure way higher than it should be. ⁓ you're gonna have to be on a couple extra blood pressure pills, ⁓ maybe less sodium this week. I don't know. But ⁓ Georgia wasn't the only top five team to win big this weekend. ⁓ Alabama obviously beats Mississippi State 56-23. I mean, man, it it not even that it was Alabama, but you just felt like at home, ⁓ Mississippi State really never showed up. ⁓ the Camario Taylor that we've seen all year. ⁓ and and listen, that's a young quarterback, right? ⁓ you gotta remember this. Keelan Russell hasn't seen a defense slightly he's gonna see on on Saturday. Okay. So those type of performances can happen at any time. I mean, you you're hearing like Heisman type talk around Keelan Russell right now. How does Keelan Russell take that on? We're we're gonna find out really soon. ⁓ Alabama put up 483 yards, including 304 passing and 179 yards rushing. Kind of the same, maybe against the Better in Mississippi. I don't know. I I don't really know how Mississippi State stacks up after that, right? Miami won 41-13. ⁓ that's a big score, 31-14. Ohio State over Iowa. Missouri, obviously the big win, 45-17 over Florida. ⁓ so those were like, and that's kind of how we compared. I mean, when you look at those scores, I mean, you kind of don't want to be the Floridas. You don't want to be the ⁓ some of these teams, you don't want to be the Notre Dames. I mean, Notre Dame will get through this week and they'll feel good about themselves and they'll go back in and nobody will talk about them and that's fine. But I think some Georgia fans need to go look at the fact that these are human beings playing the football game every week, right? It's it's not like there's some kind of ⁓ virus in the team that the team's like, ⁓ we hit the virus, we hit ⁓ with the virus this week. They don't play well. You know, they're human beings, man. And ⁓ this team showed a lot of resiliency through adversity, in my opinion. So ⁓ kudos to the team. Congratulations on a great win at home on homecoming. ⁓ so really big, really big. ⁓ so we get Alabama now, right? ⁓ you know, ⁓ it's Alabama hate week. We're not gonna talk much about them because we're gonna preview them heavily this week. But you know, what just some some statistical things are off the bat. Obviously, Georgia five and ⁓ three and ⁓ Alabama five and ⁓ three and ⁓ We mentioned game day is gonna be there. Alabama just destroyed Mississippi State. ⁓ You know, ⁓ so give me a few things that I think as we get into Monday and you're listening to this, what so what do we got to clean up? Okay, what do we what what can we give you for food to chew on for a couple of days until we talk talk more about it on Tuesday and Wednesday? Okay. So I I think when you look at Alabama, I think Georgia immediately these are these are blimp view things, right? We're not gonna dig deep yet. I think Georgia needs to look at how to stop explosive plays from Alabama. Alabama has been able to ⁓ really key off of key turnovers from their defense. Defense has done a good job in flipping field position for them. ⁓ but I think explosive plays, George, you can't give Alabama explosive plays. Easy touchdowns. We we've done this. We've been here. We have the t shirt. We have the losses to prove it. We've also had the second half adjustments, but they just weren't enough. They fell short to look and go, all right, we know that we got to get off to a fast start. We got to get off to a hot start. We got to eliminate explosives from Alabama. We gotta be able to run the football number two. Okay. Can't go on the road in the SEC in a hostile environment and not run the football. You can't make this one dimensional where gunners gotta stand there and change play calls, get right formation. It's gonna be a loud environment, night game in Tuscaloosa. It's gonna be the most electric environment you're gonna see up to date. ⁓ it it really is. And I mean, I would you can compare them against previous ones, but it will be the most electric environment you definitely have seen this year. And probably if not in the last few years, because, you know, Alabama and myself started out. I'm sorry. The you know, ⁓ the rest of the SEC started out and myself thinking Alabama ⁓ here's the things are gonna have to be better for Alabama. A lot of people thought Keelan DeBoy was on the hot seat. You know, you have a quarterback battle, you couldn't run the ball last year. Offensive line had questions. Could this, you know, rec could they regroup on the defensive line? Could they ⁓ they've showed check, check, check, check, check right now. Keelan Russell is playing at a very high level. ⁓ Third, I would say is you to win third down. Okay. ⁓ you gotta, you gotta, you know, Vanderbilt exposed third down a little bit in the first half. I I think you have to eliminate that. You have to get off the field. You can't ask this defense in a hostile environment to continue to blunder over a third down. You gotta protect Gunner. It's the fourth thing. Okay. ⁓ we're gonna break these down a lot throughout the week. But these are just some things to chew on as we start the week. Alabama just recorded five sacks against Mississippi. Okay. Georgia's offensive line needs to be ready. And to protect Gunner to give him the give the give him the opportunity to go out and play good ball. ⁓ five, finish drives. You gotta score. You gotta score. You're you're not gonna be able to kick a lot of field goals in this game. Okay. ⁓ unless it gets down to an absolutely defensive battle where both offenses maybe are struggling in the same ways. You're gonna have to finish drives. And and six is easy. You can't turn the ball over. Like turnover margin is gonna be huge. I can guarantee you whoever wins the turnover margin will win the game. Okay. Very, very easy. So I want to give you a couple of ⁓ hot takes, okay, really quick. As I as I kind of give you the stuff that you want. I want to give you a couple hot takes, okay? Who is who is some things we gotta f kind of figure out right here? ⁓ sorry, let me skip down to my to my notes ⁓ really quick because I added them to another ⁓ area, right? ⁓ so as far as Alabama, I think. Hot take number one. I think Alabama is the first team this season that can expose every weakness Georgia showed against at Vanderbilt. Okay. ⁓ run blocking. ⁓ Alabama can attack that. Or can they? Right? There's still questions in this stuff. We've seen them attack it against Mississippi State defense. This is a Mississippi State defense that has struggled before this year. So it's not like we're like, man, they just tore up Mississippi State. We got a lot to worry about, right? This was a Kentucky team, right? This is a Florida state team. You could kind of go, who has Alabama played? Okay. Now, Kentucky, out of everybody, seems to be the most legit, the most kind of like head scratcher, right? They go, they go beat a Texas AM team at Kyle Field, but is Texas St. ⁓ as good as they've been in the past? ⁓ they go and they, you know, you look at South Carolina and you're gonna see in a minute I have them really low my power rankings, but South Carolina team is not as really as good as they. I they have good players, but right now they're really struggling to connect the coaching with the players and then the scheme and the game plan. But you can look and go, really, has Georgia has has if you look at seeing has Georgia been challenged? And if they were against the Alabama team, whoa. But I would tell you that South Carolina and both Kentucky, I mean, I have Kentucky around the around 10 or 11, but I have South Carolina almost second to last. So ⁓ but but but I think you know, Alabama can punish you if you don't give them problems on third downs. And then Alabama has athletes to make Georgia pay. Okay. This is why Vanderbilt was actually a useful warning sign. Okay. Alabama can make you pay. So you got to get this right this week. You got to take away explosives and you can't have mishaps because the athletes that are out at Alabama are much better. And you needed this this week because you saw it, you needed it, and now you got to correct it because you got athletes that are much more explosive, much faster. Maybe not as maybe not as fast as Cheryl, but you can't key on one guy. There's a lot of there's a lot of guys that are really coming on ⁓ at Alabama strong. And so you got to take care of that. The last hot take I will tell you is Gunnar Stockton probably has more pressure on him against Alabama than Kirby Smart does. Okay. You're looking and you're going, man, Kirby Smart has this Alabama hex, right? Kirby has been in these games. The defense has been in these games, the coaching staff has been in these games. But for Gunner, this is the type of game that can completely change the perception of him as a quarterback. A win in Alabama and Gunnar Stockton finally gets a conversation about change and how he's changed, like overnight. Everybody wants to know why isn't Gunnar in these conversations? Had a great game against Vanderbilt. This is the game that puts Gunner on the map. Now, for Gunner, he doesn't care to be on the map. He doesn't care to be on the map. What he wants to do, though, is He wants to be on the map because of how he helped his team win games, but not only win games, but games like this, where we all know that we have been on been there on those Sundays after these games and just had our head down going, man, we just can't get it done. We just can't get it done. Cause if 'cause if Georgia does lose, I mean, all the talk comes back. Are they overrated? ⁓ you know, should they should they not even be in question, you know? I think, I think if either team, it's going to be how they lose and how they win, you know. ⁓ I think if this is a close game for both teams, fine. But I think if one team emerges, I mean, you automatically, they automatically become extreme contenders. And there's a good possibility that there's a big question mark over the other if it's not, and they become extreme pretenders. So it's a huge game on both avenues, but I'm gonna repeat this and tell you that. Gunner, this is more pressure on him. Now, I'm not putting the pressure on him. I just think there's lot of pressure there. Now, I'll leave it here with this kind of what I call my nuclear option. Okay. Here's the nuclear option for Georgia fans to ponder over as you start this week. Georgia has yet to play its best football. And Alabama might already have. That's either incredibly encouraging. Or incredibly scary. Georgia has shown flashes, but there's been sloppy stretches, right? Alabama just put up 56. So here's the question. Are we about to see Georgia's best game of the season? Or is or Alabama's? Because the scary part is that I don't know that in some of this, if we've yet to see Georgia's best game, but we might have this past weekend with Alabama. Because I'll tell you. No matter what you look at with Mississippi State or Kentucky or Florida State or any of these teams Alabama's played, I will tell you they have not played a defense as elite as Georgia's. They have not. Okay. But also Georgia hasn't played an offense and a defense as good as Alabama. But I would tell you that we might have seen Alabama's best already. Who knows? But my question is is are we about to see Georgia's best? I wanna I wanna hop straight in and I wanna give you my power rankings for ⁓ week six. If I pull these up, I'm going to I'm gonna try to hop straight into this. If you give me 30 seconds to pull my notes up. All right, here we go. I'm gonna knock I'm gonna try to knock this out in about five to ten. Okay. At sixteen. At sixteen. I have Arkansas still here. ⁓ man. Rough go at it. You wonder if they were going to give Texas AM a run. Everybody thought they might. Even in our picks from Wednesday, we thought that Texas AM was a little bit more vulnerable than normal. ⁓ I think Arkansas came in and showed that they're going to continue to have a rough time throughout the year. ⁓ it it's gonna be really tough for Arkansas to get an SEC win this year. I think when they play Vanderbilt, that might be the test of if they can get it. And I don't think they get it against Vanderbilt. So I got I got Arkansas at sixteen. ⁓ 15, I dropped South South Carolina to 15. My concern with South Carolina is a little bit more than the offense and the defense and special teams. My concern is has this team lost the respect and the the the get up and go and the fire, ⁓ the I mean, what Georgia says the FPE, the fire, passion, and energy to play for for Shane Beamer anyone. I don't know. ⁓ they had a lot of controversy throughout the week they had to overcome ⁓ with Dylan Stewart being, you know. Suspended indefinitely. And so I I I don't know. The thing that scares me and the things the thing things that the reason I have them at 15 is because they have more talent than Arkansas. But I feel like they have a bigger problem than Arkansas in some ways, especially more problems than Vanderbilt, because the right now we just don't know the future of Shane Beamer. We we don't know. There's a lot of fan controversy. There's Steve Spurger saying don't stand up and clap for this team. There's just a lot of drama, a lot of soap opera stuff going on in South Carolina right ⁓ 14, I moved Vanderbilt up from last week. I thought Vanderbilt showed a lot of a lot of heart, a lot of passion, really good game plan against Georgia. ⁓ I think with Berlowitz, I I don't know. Do you have a quarterback battle now with Curtis and Berlowitz? I I don't really know. ⁓ but I have them at 14. ⁓ that could have moved them to 13. ⁓ I I don't know if Auburn did a lot to earn the 13th spot, in my opinion, but I have them at 13. I I think they had an opportunity to go into Neeland and right themselves ⁓ for the first half of the year, or at least the first four or five games, ⁓ and they didn't. And there were times where I I an Alex Golish offense that I have seen have life in it and really good. I just didn't see it. And and the defense is having blunders that I honestly haven't seen either in the past, you know, TJ Durkins defense. I mean, I I I don't know. They had a couple good players, but right now this USF type, you know, play and And the players coming from the AC, like it's not it's not lining up right now. But once again, I will tell you, every single team on this list, regardless of how corny you think this sounds, they have an opportunity to win an SEC game every single week if you don't come prepared. ⁓ twelve I got Oklahoma moved them up. ⁓ this was a week off, but I think when I look at their offense and their D I think their defense is elite compared to Auburn, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Arkansas, and maybe Texas AM. I would give you I would give you a little bit more life in Texas AM's offense ⁓ right now. So that's where I have them at. A lot will be said if they can come together and have some fight this week during Red River. ⁓ you know, ⁓ or they roll over and it it will pretty much tell you where you're at the rest of the year with Brent Venables and this Oklahoma team. ⁓ 11, I got Texas C and ⁓ They get a little bit of life to them this week, this past week, ⁓ by beating ⁓ by beating ⁓ Arkansas. ⁓ It was a little bit more impressive than I think people wondered would happen. I mean, I think everybody wanna give Arkansas a little bit more benefit of the doubt, but that's that's pretty much it. You know, right now Texas and they ran the ball a lot better. I think that was why. ⁓ but not a lot of not a lot of Marcel Reed throwing the ball. So I wonder if that if that comes into play, can he do that? ten I have Tennessee. I dropped Tennessee. ⁓ backup quarterback comes in. ⁓ they had problems on offense. thank God, you know, they They can run the football right now because the offense, th this is something that's unheard of really in a Josh Hypel offense is is the inability to, you know, push the ball downfield in the in the passing game. And I don't know if Faison Brandon was benched. I don't know if he was hurt. McIntyre came in. He had some good throws. You you had some question marks about how they threw the football, but the the legs of ⁓ of of of ⁓ I don't know the kid's name, but ⁓ man, eighteen from Tennessee, man. I mean, just looked incredible. Their defense looks good. Tennessee's defense right now have them at 10. ⁓ no questions asked. ⁓ but they're at 10 for me ⁓ until further notice. Nine I have Kentucky, man. What a gutsy call on the goal line. Go for two after you've made an incredible comeback. And I don't know, man. Maybe seal the deal. You probably would have heard something. Maybe, maybe since I went live, you might have heard something already. But ⁓ but man, they go for two on the road. Biggest comeback. ⁓ I think it's in South Carolina history or something like that, or ⁓ second half coming. Anyways, 17 points. ⁓ Titan about dropped that ball, by the way. Go back and look at that play, but a win for Will Stein, and he continues to ⁓ be a Kentucky hero so far, regardless of what he does the rest of the year. I think there's enough life in this Kentucky football program for years to come, right now. ⁓ and the sky is the limit right now for the Kentucky football program with Will Stein. Eight, I dropped Mississippi State to eight. I just feel like ⁓ yeah, they got the doors blown off of them a little bit. Camario Taylor throws two picks. The defense doesn't look the same as they looked in other games. This is a di a little bit different of an offense in Alabama, but I just think they were exposed a little bit ⁓ and couldn't get it done. ⁓ so I have them at eight, seven. I had LSU, nothing big here. They played Macneese, blew the doors off of them as well. ⁓ I literally have them at seven because I do think ⁓ you know, as far as neutral sight, I think LSU can beat Mississippi. obviously Ole Miss. Pete's LSU early on. So I give them the nod right now. Those records are kind of the same. I have Ole Miss at six. They had a bye week. ⁓ and then five, I dropped Florida a little bit. ⁓ down. I mean, obviously getting beat by Missouri on the road 45-14. The concerns is if you take Jaden Baugh away, can Philo and this passing game, can it take over? Can it win the football game for you? And can the secondary of Florida get better? I mean, it was exposed ⁓ rough. And I feel like they were they got ran on a little bit as well. So ⁓ this was a rough week for Florida. I have Missouri, man, talk about a ⁓ a changer. I mean, I had him what, 10 or 11 last week. ⁓ Missouri, kudos to you, man. I I I I moved you where you should be. I think you don't even have parts of your offense. ⁓ obviously, ⁓ that will give you even more of a boost in the running game, even though right now you look like you don't need it. But ⁓ but I will tell you that this this running game, Austin Simmons looked like he was spot on. This this offense Looked incredible. I think the defense did some really incredible things against Florida. They're starting to mesh a little bit. This team, this this, I think to say Missouri is is is a playoff contender is the truth. ⁓ three, I have Texas ⁓ bye week for you as well, but ⁓ didn't move for me there. I moved Alabama all the way up to two. Why did I not move them to one? It's merely because of the fact that I don't think there was enough difference in the body of work ⁓ to just go, yeah, they just take over. It's like, Well, they had the best game this week, so let's move them all up. I think a neutral field right now, Georgia and Alabama play. I mean, I'm just giving a win of Georgia. So that's just kind of all it is to it. So I have I have ⁓ Bama at two, still rightfully so. That moves them up three or four spots. ⁓ and ⁓ Georgia at one. So that's where I'm at for ⁓ for our power rankings ⁓ this week. And so it's gonna be a great week. It's Bama hate week, and ⁓ I would just tell you, you know, at the end of the day, ⁓ this is a this is a For for Georgia fans, this is a weird week. I know for me it is. ⁓ we've been so many Sundays. I remember sitting there. I'm sorry, Sundays and Mondays. I remember sitting here last year after the Alabama defeat at home where we felt like there were opportunities to win that game. ⁓ I was sitting here and I was on a an interview with ⁓ former quarterback Hudson Mason. And and you know, we were looking so forward to that interview. It was a really fun time still. And I enjoyed my time, but we were we were very perplexed and very caught off guard with the content we were coming with that day because we were hoping we were going to be celebrating an Alabama win, but we were really diving back into why why are we still having these feelings and why can't we get over this hump of Alabama? And so dog fans are gonna have mixed emotions all week. There'll be some that the sky's fallen, there'll be some that have a neutral idea of just kind of pondering what may happen. And there's some who are very confident in this Jordan team this year when you look at X's and O's. And I think from the start of the year, I think we have a lot to be confident about going into this game. So if you're a Georgia fan and you're listening right now, I'm not saying we're cocky confident. And I'm definitely not right now just calling an outright win and going, yeah, we're gonna knock them out, we're gonna kill them. There are things we're gonna have to do to win this football game, just like every week. But I am confident that that we have the dudes, that we have the defense, that we have the offense, the special teams, and the coaching staff to win this game. I'm coming in confident, ⁓ and there's nothing wrong with that. Because I would say that Alabama should be as well. So in closing tonight, I will end with this. ⁓ I repeat, I repeat, if you're a fan of Georgia right now and you are still lingering off of a Saturday Vanderbilt hangover, understand that you have had days where you didn't have your best day at work. I would tell you that there were some entities of what happened on Saturday where some individual players. Maybe even some coaches didn't have their best moments, didn't have their best day at work. But the great news is it's a team sport. And there was a lot of people, a lot of team teammates that came ⁓ to the rescue and had really great games, had really great ⁓ game plans coming out of this the second half, adjustments. And as a team, we saw adversity and we took adversity on, not just with a win, but with a A really a punch in the gut win because I think Vanderbilt thought, man, we're in this game. But Georgia came out the second half and quickly gave them the answer of, no, no, you're not in this game. We're still the better team. We were just having a little bit of an off day, but we're good now. So ⁓ can't wait to get into this week. We'll have a couple extra shows. I'm getting ready to go live right now on TikTok to do the same thing. We're gonna have ⁓ about an hour where we let the fans kind of talk a little bit and we're gonna talk about The same stuff we talked about tonight, and I'm gonna do my SEC power ranking show tonight. So a lot going on tonight. Can't wait to hop on. I definitely probably will tell you. Look for an episode on Tuesday before the main episode on Wednesday to kind of have another one kind of slid in there where we get a little bit more from the rest of the crew that's normally with us tonight. ⁓ I hope you're having a great start to your ⁓ excuse me, end of your Sunday and start to your week by listening to this.
