What I think about some things I saw over the weekend . . .
Bud Allen of the Banner Society notes that Georgia gained 230 yards on its three scoring drives and 20 yards on its other 12 possessions. Throw out the kneel-down plays on the final drive, and the Bulldogs gained 24 yards on 11 non-scoring possessions. Auburn’s defense is excellent, and the Bulldogs did enough to win 21-14 there on Saturday, but come on.
Georgia has an elite defense, a great kicker, an elusive tailback and a smart quarterback. Using those assets, Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart can play it relatively safe and beat most teams on most days.
