I thought I heard Kirby say last night that UGA got some big red zone stops? Did I mishear that?

He said, "red area," which I can only assume means red-zone. You didn't just think you heard him say that.

I was wondering. A clip of his PC was playing very late last night on some channel and I wasn't paying attention, but my ears perked up when I thought I heard that.

What's even more impressive about Mac's stats, is that he started the game with the bad luck INT. Could have easily went south for him last night, a great sign that he's mentally tough and extremely competitive.

Alabama had 33 1st downs on 76 total plays

That’s how many 1st downs they made... they actually snapped the ball on 1st down something like 43 times out of 80 snaps. Really pretty nasty stat.

1st down snaps - 43
2nd down snaps - 21
3rd down snaps - 11
4th down snaps - 5

I think that’s close to the correct snap count and down. (42 Rushes, 32 passes, 2 FG, 4 punts)

Wasn't an INT

Would like to see the stats of completions from Jones per qtr. At one time he was around 50% maybe midway through the 2nd qtr or so when we punted three times in a row. That makes what he did from that point on even more impressive.

I just got to say this, Jones has something special!

For those that were saying Bryce Young would surplant Mac because he was too good to sit, what do you say now? Mac has been phenomenal!!! Blackledge said it best. Mac Jones isn't a "game manager, he's a baller!"

 

[ColAngus]

At this point, I'm hoping Mac returns for his senior season.

I missed the int at the start of the game. What happened?

I litterally turned the game on with 4+ minutes left in the 3rd. The first play I saw was the 90 yard TD to JW.

Barring an injury of some sort, it is highly unlikely.

There were a few times where Jones got some happy feet and did not set his feet. That was earlier in the game and his stats reflected it. Once he got into a rhythm he was lights out. He definitely passed my litmus test (like it matters ) for how he would respond against a good D and a better pass rush when he would not have as much time. The OL was lights out also.

He got pressured and hit while he was throwing, so he threw a duck that just went up in the air in the center of the field. I'm willing to say 95% of us believe the ball hit the ground and went through LeCounte's hands as he dove to make the interception since we were going deep..

Count me in the 95%, but I can also get why they didn't overrule it once they said he caught it. I wasn't pleased though...

In a way yes, in a way no.

We are losing the law firm and some good OL's, almost feels like a perfect time for Bryce to "grow" with the new crop of studs.

Wasn't an INT

But it counted as one.

 

[OldPlayer]

Anybody know why Saban changed kickers and had Reichart kicking off? I know the starting kicker put one into the sidelines, but was that enough for the change?
