Despite the numbers, I feel much more confident with the passing because of this game, mostly because it showed Milroe taking the underneath passes, the short completions and not holding the ball for too long. It showed him dealing with the blitz and staying ahead of the chains. I thought that was a great sign, and he had big runs instead of big passing bombs (in the rain. RW might have held onto that one bomb had the field and ball not been so wet)
A TE who can catch is so useful in the NFL that the last 2 dynasties both made their TEs a massive part of their offense, and Shannon Sharpe won 3 back in the day. It will never be outdated. Not only is it useful for blocking on run plays but linebackers have the worst coverage and if you put a safety on the y it frees the x/z. Chiefs have played in 4 of last 5(probably 5/6 later) SBs and won 3. Gronk/Brady played in 5 together and won 4(no one had more TDs than Gronk from Brady). Meanwhile Kittle/49ers have played in the NFC championship 4 of the last 5 years winning last year mostly using 11/12/13 pounding it with CMC so much that they had an All-pro FB.
Georgie Pickens was injured for Georgia that entire year, and when he came back for the national championship, you could clearly tell he hasn’t been the same guy. Yes, Jameson Williams was injured for Alabama. Pickens has proven to be the more consistent WR in the pros. Give me a healthy GP for Georgia and a healthy JW for Alabama, I like Georgia’s chances in that national championship
@@stevencovarrubias8877losing a guys at the beginning of the season is different than in the middle of the playoffs. Kind of a silly comparison. Bottom line is the two WRs we saw gain close to 300 yards and 3 tds in the seccg were injured for the NC.

There’s tons of takeaways but can we just appreciate how amazing this final stretch is going to be. The SEC is an incredible watch - sincerely a Big Ten fan

What big name would be open? I think he's a perfect fit for Florida, but they're not changing. FSU can't afford to fire Norvell. Michigan should part ways with Moore but they won't.
I'm not sure "big names" is the way this works anymore. Exhibit A 2023 Washington. Exhibit B 2024 Indiana. Exhibit C 2024 Ole miss. Addendum to Exhibit C is the likelihood of 6 SEC teams finishing with 2 conference losses. Mercenary teams are now a thing. They just are.
It's weird that you mention Alabama not hitting the deep shots as an indication that the LSU pass defense was good. On both of the deep passes in that one drive, the receiver was wide open for an easy touchdown if the pass is better, or if it's not raining.
Hey, @ 30:49 you mentioned if Bama completed those 2 catches that they would be at 9.5 passing YPA. Is an incompletion not an attempt? That's weird... Shouldn't it be passing YPC (yards per completion)?
I'm surprised how many people are guaranteeing they beat Ten. Some are saying a blowout. Between the o line, the receivers and Beck, the uga passing has serious problems theres not a quick small easy fix
I'd be surprised if they win out. Bobo hasn't been able to figure out offense is the 140 years he's been OC. Now, with that humiliating loss of just getting owned. This team is cooked. We always have next year if Kirby can cut his BFF4L.
There's no question Miami has been overranked all season. Same with TCU, I mean BYU. The winners of the Big 12 and ACC will be quick outs in decisive fashion. Nobody is gonna want to play Alabama. Roll Tide
Roll Tide, but I watched Kelly’s presser and he was asked if he thought his team quit like the USC game. He replied that Bama was rushing 7 and not quitting and that LSU wasn’t either. Sounded like he was happy that both teams played until the end. And yeah, he should’ve pulled starters.
Anectodally speaking only, I found the Ole Miss-Georgia game highly entertaining. Alabama and LSU, not as much. LSU looked hapless trying to contain Lamar Jackson....I mean Jalen Milroe.
I told people all offseason this UGA team was at the bottom of the league in weapons. People were talking about Lovett and Arian smith but last year even Marcus rosemary Jack-saint (undrafted) was a bigger weapon last year than those guys were. That was a sign
I think WIllams would have caught that long bomb if it wasnt pouring like it was. Milore even it some slants and thats not his normal skill set. I think he is doing better throwing the ball, but that comes from the ground game working so well.
Penn St’s best win is Wisconsin who is the 7th best team Alabama has played. Bama has played 4 straight top 25 opponents (5 overall), not a single non-SEC team has played more than two all season.
If Georgia shows up with intensity they'll win that game. They didn't look very good against Ole Miss tho. As a Bama fan, I wouldn't mind sitting back and watching Texas play Tennessee in the SEC championship game.
You knocked Milroe for YPA but thats what the game called for. We took shots when we needed to back them off, they just didnt connect. We just had to Keep It Simple
@@dolomite205 Their backup QB was a gamer and played well, though. I wouldn't put the blame on him. The reason ND won handily was we dominated the LOS. We held them to 64 yds rushing on 29 carries.

Full disclosure here that I am very biased, but I can’t stand how y’all continue to just discard Louisville as a team this year. They are very clearly a top 20 team in most power ratings systems and models (not sure where your model has them) and lost 3 games to only quality opponents closely. Not expecting the world’s praise for this team and they definitely should have won one or two of the games they lost but they are far from a “bad team” that you keep referring to them as.

@@grubby421 Name one conference better this year. The SEC will ABSOLUTELY have the most teams in the playoff of any conference. That's not even up for debate. This is such a delusional take.
I hate the double standard of discrediting teams for close wins. When talking about big brand name teams like Georgia who beat Kentucky 13-12 or Ohio state beating Nebraska 21-17 nobody bats an eye, but if BYU beats Utah 22-21 or Indiana beats Michigan by 5 they’re discredited for barely beating a not very good team. This is a year where truly every top 10 team has looked pretty beatable at one point or another.
It’s not a double standard, it’s that BYU and Indiana don’t have anything like blowouts over Clemson and Texas to fall back on. We have to over analyze Indiana vs Michigan because it’s the most talented team they played.
Florida had its third sting qb playing and almost its whole secondary out and there star receiver that was not the Florida team that played uga all those defensive players but Marshall were out in the uga game and it was clear number 3 qb warner is terrible
