UGA Expert ADMITS Something About Dawgs You NEED to SEE after Auburn Loss · SEC Football Addiction

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: That was not the only upset in the sec. In fact,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: there were a couple of more, but we'll go with
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: this one for a few minutes. Auburn takes down Georgia.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: And not only did they take them down cold, they,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: they had to come back. Like Georgia was up in
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: this game and looked, I mean, much like the next
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: one or the last game we'll talk about much like Texas.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: It looked like Georgia was just going to cruise here
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and get to an easy win. Oh, just Auburn, just
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: lowly Auburn. Going to find an easy win for Georgia.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Not so fast, as Lee Corso said. We are presented
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: by PrizePix. Cole, take it away again.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: SEC.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: What's so funny about this game, breaking it the best
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: way I can down, and I'll go back and re-watch it.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Auburn out Georgia-Georgians. is the best way I can say
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: they won this football game. They played clean. They didn't
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: have many turnovers. They were able to win in the
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: second half really with time and possession. They did a
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: good job of trusting their run game. They knew what
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: their strengths were. They knew what their advantages were in
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: the passing attack. They played Byron Brown the way that
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Byron Brown should be playing quarterback. You're not asking him
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: to win you football games with 295 passing yards and
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: a couple of extra runs. You're saying that if he
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: can get me a balanced 150 to 100 overall metric
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: and two touchdowns and no turnovers.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: I'll live.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: In that world and I'll find a way to be
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: able to make it work. So they did a really
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: good job of running the football. They did a really
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: good job of leaning into the run game. They forced
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: the turnover. They won the turnover margin that was massive.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: And they did exceptional of being able to win on
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: third down. I thought was another major selling point. I mean, yeah,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: 6-16 is an elite, but 6-16 is good enough for
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: you to be able to move the sticks. And they
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: were good on fourth down. They had two fourth down
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: conversions in the game. So they did everything that you
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: really wanted to see. I think they played really well
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: special teams wise as well. They forced Georgia to play uncomfortable,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: which is what a lot of things Georgia does to
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: its opponents. And they waited for them to make the
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: critical mistakes rather than being able to shoot themselves in
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the foot. And the other part with Georgia is whenever
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Auburn made a mistake, they were able to bounce back
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: from it. Like there was the big holding call on
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: fourth down. And they give them the first down play. Well,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: what happens on the very next drive? Gunnar Stockton overshoots
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: his receiver. It's a pick at that point. So they
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: corrected the errors that they made along the way. So
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: a lot of the things that Georgia does to be
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: able to beat opponents when they don't have their fastball,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: That's kind of what you saw from Auburn in this game.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: And credit where credit's due to also their kicking game. Again,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: you know, McPherson having to lead the team, it's turning
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: into like a frickin' Disney story. The fact that he
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: had like part of his, what, was it his stomach
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: cut out? And now he's, you know, now he's back
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: and he's kicking game-winning field goals at Sanford Stadium. They
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: played a version of football that was sustainable and they
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: allowed a team that is not known for making mistakes
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: shoot themselves in the foot and they were able to
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: capitalize off it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Tom, thoughts on this one?
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Very impressed with Auburn to go in to Sanford and
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: get a win.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Didn't have that on my bingo card.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: I remember during the offseason, we talked about specifically Kentucky, Florida,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: and Auburn as teams that were going to, quote, jump
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: up and bite some teams in the SEC. First-year head
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: coaches within their respective programs, and that's exactly what's happened. So,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: you know, we're a really good show.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: We're really smart.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: But at the same time, I did not think Auburn
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: would have much of a chance against Georgia. Gunnar Stockton
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: played an oddly non-Gunnar Stockton-esque game. It was not terribly accurate.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Some interceptions that I know he loved back. And ultimately,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: a situation where Georgia was reliant on the explosive play
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: to keep anything really consistent going. They just weren't sustaining
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: offense the way that we've seen them have so far
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: this year. And, again, it was another team in Georgia
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: that we looked at their schedule and we were like, okay, like,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: you know, the Oklahoma defense you give credit to, you
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: give credit to the victory at Alabama for sure. And
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I think some of Alabama's deficiencies are a little bit
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: more obvious at.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: This point in time.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Maybe for Georgia coming off of that hard-hitting emotional victory
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: in Tuscaloosa, that led to a letdown here against Auburn.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: But so far this year, outside of the Alabama game,
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: where was Georgia tested? So for Auburn to be able
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: to get them like this, is certainly surprising. And I
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: agree with the point about Byron Brown is a tight
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: end playing quarterback, you know, at least in terms of
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: his athletic build, he can throw the football.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: That's what he is.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: He's a thicker Felipe Franks for sure. He's built like
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Cam Newton, but he plays like Felipe. It's fascinating for
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: him to run the ball. What was it?
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: 26 times. And you're just saying, Hey, like, you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: screw his health. It's a Haynes King. You know, this
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: is going to work for us. It works.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Auburn winning in the trenches, you know, through this game,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: maybe not consistently, but enough to get by Georgia. I
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: did not have that on my bingo card.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I'll get right back to this clip of the power
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to here on the college football addiction network. But first
• 5:13

  Speaker 1: my Rays, and then, of course, college football, the most
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: important thing that happens in this country.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: We appreciate PrizePix for their support. Now back to the clip.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: So credit to Alex Koltlich. This is a monumental victory
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: for him in his first year. I look at this
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: for Georgia, and it just doesn't get easier after this. Like,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: you play Florida at home, sure, but then you've got
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: to go play Trinidad and the Rebels next, And that
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: one's on the road.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Then you play in Oxford.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Then you get Mizzou at home, which granted, we kind
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: of see that Mizzou defensively, it's not all there. And
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: if you can shut down the run, you put the
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: game on Austin Simmons, they can have their struggles at times.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: South Carolina and Georgia Tech, they end the season. The
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: next three games are difficult for Georgia. So they're going
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: to very quickly have to pick themselves up off the
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: mat and get things together. They have a bye week
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: before they play Florida, which is convenient. But after that,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: it's like, hey, playing Trinidad on the road, I don't
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: like that for just about anybody. But, you know, Georgia's
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: got to start figuring things out in terms of the
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: trench play. And Gunnar Stockton, I think, you know, it's
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: kind of like what we were talking about with Miami.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: It's like, hey, Miami's allowed. bad game, an okay C game, whatever.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: This was Gunnar Stockton's C game, and his ceiling is
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: still really high, and I believe in Gunnar Stockton to
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: kind of get things organized for Georgia the rest of
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: the way, but seriously, a tremendous tip of the cap
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: to Auburn for what they're able to pull off here,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: because I don't think anybody saw this one coming, kind
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: of similar to the way we, nobody saw Florida State
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: pushing Miami to double overtime like.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: This is the sport now, boys.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: It's closer to the NFL model where it's like, yeah,
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: anybody can get anybody any given week, and especially in
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: the SEC.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I was going to ask you quickly, but remember
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: your question, and then we'll probably move off this game
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: so we can wrap up at some point.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: But how much do you worry?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Because I think we all looked at Georgia after that
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Bama game and said, oh, they're penciling into the playoff.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: They're pinned into the playoff, I think we said. We
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: didn't even have to pencil it. Maybe not so fast.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Part of that was us believing Bama was a Titan.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I, I, again, I still think that there's, there's
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: a balance between, it was a bad showing in a
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: hostile environment off of an emotional loss. That is the
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: third Saturday in October in Neyland. And they still are
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: really fricking good. And Tassie's defense is better than advertised.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: So start there. I still think that they're in the playoff.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I don't worry about that. I think that they will
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: lose one more game. And I think it will come
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: to Ole Miss right now. If you were to ask
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: me in Oxford if there was one quarterback that I
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: would trust to be able to beat Georgia, it would
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: be Trinidad Chambliss. But if they don't lose that game,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: they'll go 11-1, they'll be in this SEC Championship game,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: and they'll go and they'll probably win that against whoever,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: and they'll find their way to get a first-round bye.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I don't think that. I think that going into this game,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: and you look at the injury report, and you look
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: at who they've been missing, and you look at the
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: guys who they've been turning to because they've had to
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: based off of just what has been this season, the
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: bye we could not come at a more dire time.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: They were basically trudging into this week on paper clips
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: and hopeful band-aids and rubber bands to keep this team together.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: So the bye is coming at a right time to
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: get right. My question to you guys was, if you
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: watch Gunnar Stockton play, there wasn't something right with him.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not saying that that's the reason they
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: lost the football game, but Gunnar Stockton did not look right.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: And yes, he was allowed to have a mulligan in
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: this game, and credit where credit's due for him to
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: be able to find a way to come back in,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: but it did not look like vintage Gunnar Stockton. This
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: was a very, very out-of-character type of game. And I
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: think that that was a factor that played into it.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that Kirby should have pulled him because, again,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: the best option for you to win this football game
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: is with Gunnar on the field. But I think that
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: part of the reason why they lost was simply you
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: did not have a quarterback that was at 100% or
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: even at 80%. Hell, I'd go Hughes at probably 50%.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: And like, you talk about Byron Brown being like Haynes King.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Haynes King played football like he didn't care if he
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: had to get carried.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Off in a casket.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, like that's the way he played the game.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Gunner plays the exact same way. And honestly, I think
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: that that may have hurt them in a lot of
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: ways in this one. Because think about it. The fumble.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Peyton Woodring would have tried to be able to get
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: that game-winning field goal. And it would have been a
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: harrowing performance by Auburn. But it would have been an
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Auburn loss if not for the fumble. And Gutter Stockton's
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: style of play, I think, was partially why that fumble happened.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: And so the bye week comes at an opportune time.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Florida turning the corner with a massive win, a gut
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: check win to get right back into this race kind
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: of feel, makes the game in Atlanta a little bit
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: more intriguing. I still think that you look at Ole
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Miss and you look at Missouri and there's things to
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: like about them to where they could certainly make it
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: a battle. But if you ask me right now, am
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: I worried that Georgia is not going to be in
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: the college football playoff?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: No, not at all.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: It's just... is their ceiling a little bit lower than
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: what I envisioned. Because I thought Georgia, after their performance
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: last week, was on a one-way ticket towards the national
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: title game. Now I think that we're talking about, if
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: this is the way that your offense plays in the
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: first half against some of the teams that you may
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: be going up against, it could come down to the
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: wire and you may not be so lucky. I think
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: that's where my brain has gone to at this point.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: Also, it sucks that they're playing this game in Atlanta.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: It absolutely sucks.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you should have done the home and home for
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: one freaking time.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: Just once do it. You're never going to get it
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: there again.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Little things in college football go a long way. The
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: freaking location of the game freaking matters.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: And then, like, I look at third Saturday in October.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Love that both teams were the home uniforms for the
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: first time in a very long time. Those little touches
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: are outstanding. But for this game to not be played,
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Jacksonville is, I don't know. I'd rather on a campus,
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: but not Atlanta.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Also, for the Auburn people out there, listen, I didn't
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: think Auburn was going to be a team that you
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: were buying a lot into. I thought seven wins was
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: probably the ceiling of this. What I think that you
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: can take away is that Will Stein, John Sumrall, Lane Kiffin,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: to a degree, I think Lane's going to have another
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: opportunity later on down the line, Pete Golding, they've all
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: had that signature win. to really set the tone with
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: their new programs. Auburn didn't have that. Auburn got that yesterday.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: To where it feels like at least you know you
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: got the higher right for a season. Like Ryan Silverfield
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: beat Vanderbilt. He's not getting fired this year. Like, fair
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: or not, he got a signature win. Auburn got a
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: signature win. It still has a lot of things you
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: can build upon, but you come away feeling a lot
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: better about knowing that Golish has this team, I think,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: trending in a position that has some bit of sustainability
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: for the future. And that He can actually be a guy,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: unlike Hugh Freeze, unlike Brian Harsin, and unlike the end
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: of the Gus era, that maybe is able to get
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: some bit of sustainability.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: Back to the Plains.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: You mentioned their ceiling being lowered.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I guess you could also say that about every single
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: team in the country, with the exception of.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: BYU yesterday. So, uh, whose ceiling hasn't been lowered, um,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: through week.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Was this seven week, seven of the college football season again, BYU,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: maybe the one I thought Utah was going to drop
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that game late to Colorado, by the way.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: So shout out to the use for holding on there. They, uh,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: they almost let me down.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I didn't put my poll in simply because of, I
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: was waiting for Utah.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: I didn't, I was waiting.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I was waiting on Nebraska. I wanted to, I was
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: going to leave that. I was going to leave them
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: in if they won. but they let me down.
