I was hoping for a big day out of the offensive line. What I got was a big half.
Offense
Yes, there was plenty going wrong in the first half. Sloppy play and those penalties! I cannot remember a Georgia team committing so many ridiculous penalties. D’wan Mathis appeared to have become rattled very early, and his indecisiveness spilled over to the rest of the offense.
Even with that said, the offensive line protected well, considering that Arkansas pushed eight and sometimes nine defenders near the line of scrimmage, daring Georgia to run. Arkansas’ strategy was similar to the defenses the team saw all last year, and it worked.
