Bobo is out of touch

I knew it when we were down by 14 pts in the 4th and he throws yet another GOD DAMN WR screen to the sideline that was blown up yet again by ND.
Bobo is cooked man. He can't adjust and runs a offense that just isn't good without absolute world beaters at WR that would be successful in any offense. (Bowers and Ladd Mac)
Time for a change. I have been a Bobo defender, but the entirety of the Offense is under his control....from X and Os to oline and wr play... all which have been atrocious.
When is the last time a UGA team couldn't run the fricking football? That is like our calling card and ND was undersized.
I am officially on the "Bobo step Down" band wagon

Have we had a screen pass go for more than 10 or even 20 yards yards all season? Surely there was one, right? Having a hard time thinking of one.
I mean, I know it's supposed to be an extension of the run game, but we seem to spend a lot of time on WR screens that have done nothing all year? Maybe the Rant analysts can help me understand.

I’m all for Bobo being gone, I don’t scream it every week but as a whole I think this game has passed him by..should he be on the staff as an analyst, sure, but not as the play caller.
That being said, if you notice Gunner was not running the offense like we’ve seen the past few years under Stet, and Beck. Gunner did not adjust at the line, check into different plays, etc.. I think I saw two checks come in from the sideline during the game. That turned into what ever play was called, is the play they ran! ND did not respect the pass and played down hill ALL NIGHT!
The fault in that game last night was what UGA normally does to the opposing teams! ND owned the lines of scrimmage, caused two turnovers that equaled points, and played really good special teams!

My theory is this is related to the RB depth issues all season. I think they had big plans for at least one of the Robinsons. Losing them both really took the power running element away from the offense.

I’m one of the biggest non bobo supporters out there.
Not to make excuses, but I think a lot of our fan base thought that our second string QB was going to come in and be an absolute world beater.
I didn’t watch the game live last night, had to watch it in replay, but with the offensive line playing like poop, our running back fumbling, giving up and kick return, drops and a back up QB playing. Recipe for disaster.
Bobo still gotta GoGo though. Terribly inefficient schemer. There’s a reason why Auburn and South Carolina fans giggle at our OC.

You're wasting your time. Some, maybe most, of our fans truly convinced themselves that the offense would get BETTER after we lost our starter, against playoff competition. And when that didn't happen, they blamed everyone from Kirby Smart on down. Apparently, none of these people have ever tried to work on their car with a pair of channel locks and a flat head screwdriver.
Did Bobo call a good game? I'm sure it could have been improved because it always can. Would it have changed the outcome? No, because we didn't have the right tools for the job last night.
Rumor is that Coach Bobo will be stepping down in coming days. If so, Kirby will face the difficult task of finding a top quality replacement. Fortunately he won't be looking to football message boards for advice.

Hot take as I haven’t rewatched but what was missing were the intermediate crossing routes…because they are the hardest and most dangerous. These are a killer against a loaded box or blitzing LBs. Beck would’ve probably been able to get us into the right play with what they were showing. Bobo was trying to give Stockton safe passes.
That said, he pegged his deep balls to Smith, Bell and Cash. Those were rockets. I’m surprised cash caught that missle and it damn near knocked him down.

I mean, Stockton played great and stretched the field. There are a lot of reasons that we didn't win, but Stockton did his job, IMO.

The cryers about Beck got faced with the hard truth that he was the best QB in the room and going to whomever was next isn’t the answer. In the game thread I remember a few posts to give Rashada or Puglisi a shot…it never ends.
That said, I liked what Stockton did given the situation. He has an absolute cannon and seems to have a better feel for the long ball and putting it on the receiver in stride. When his pass arrives it gets there with urgency….if anything he needs more touch.

Gunner played fine, for a guy who was starting his first college football game in the playoffs. Notre Dame tailored their defense to put pressure on an inexperienced qb and stop Georgia from running a ball control offense. That opened some things up through the air and Gunner hit a few passes. But, when push came to shove, we were 2 for 12 on 3rd down conversions (lowest game percentage since 2020), 0 for 1 on 4th down conversions, 0 for 2 on red zone conversions.
So Stockton did the best he could, but his best was not going to win this game. To do that we needed somebody who could run the entire offense, make the best play, without having to think about every decision. That person was not in the game.

Stockton was not the problem last night. Was the entire offense.
RBS dancing around
Wr bot getting open nor catching the ball
Oline looking like shite as usual
Along with shitty play calling

After that disaster around the half we had to abandon our best chance to win which was long run heavy drives and passing to convert. I have no doubt we beat them down over time if we could do that.
BUT all of a sudden you’re down by 17 and the staff knows we’re not going to get enough possessions to just grind it out. The game plan had to be changed and putting a young QB in his first start in the position was a killer. Also, ND could tee off on him more so because they knew running over and over was pretty much off the table.

I won't go as far as to say the offense got better, it clearly didn't, but I do think Gunner was making throws we hadn't seen Beck making this season (he was last year, minus deep balls). His final line isn't representative of how well he played, imo. There were multiple drops on great passes and had to throw several balls away due to lack of protection.
It truly comes back to Bobo. They clearly limited the playbook and just refused to trust Gunner despite him showing confidence and making accurate throws. He was gunning it when necessary and leading with touch when needed. I refuse to believe, after years in this system, he wasn't capable of audibling. That ND defense was not going to back off until we burned them via the pass but Bobo handcuffed the offense, never even attempting to loosen them up. Where was the play action, ffs?
As to the dumbass WR screens, our receivers can't block for shite. Those plays used to work when we had WRs who were solid blockers. As to the dumbass double handoffs, WHY get fancy with slow developing plays when your line is getting whooped?!
I hope the rumors are right. I've never seen an OC struggle so badly adopting to changing game situations and scenarios. It's a win or go home game, why in the absolute frick are we playing conservative in the second half of the game? That 3rd down call with Cash running it right up the gut is quite possibly the absolute worst playcall I saw all season, right there with the decision to pass in the SECCG on 3rd down when already in FG position near the end of the game (ball was picked). He has zero feel for the game, highlighted by the fact Monken was one of the absolute best at calling plays on the fly.

Our offensive challenges yesterday can be completely ignored if you want, and it still wouldn’t change that the overall regression this season was alarming.

For those clamoring for Buster Faulkner, his offensive game plan is much heavier on screen passes than Bobo. Be careful what you wish for.

screen passes
They work when the other receivers and tight end can hold a block instead of patting the defenders on the back as they run by.

Any search should be much broader in nature. Faulkner is potentially a fine option, but I think it’s unlikely he’s truly the best fit.
