Chick-Fil-A is a sandwich, not a BOWL.
Perhaps, if they sold chicken gumbo, we could find a reason to call it a bowl. As it is, Geaux, Tigers!
Bring home the PEACH BOWL trophy.

I am impressed with the advances that JJ has made since the end of the season.
What a way to start…impressive mix of plays.

For a few weeks we’ve been hearing about how we’re a huge disappointment an that GT would pound us.
If the first drive is any indication, the offense didn’t get that memo.

1st & 25
That’s a bad omen when they convert after 1st & 25. We can’t afford to let these guys off the mat like that.

May be wrong, but it appears that one major problem with the Triple Option is that when they get in Red Zone and can’t spread the field, it doesn’t seem to work. Would like to know the statistics on GT performance in the red zone.

No disrespect to Peterson—he had good position—but a competent passing game scores the TD on that play.
I agree with your point about the short field…but is that effect any more than other schemes?

Think it might be. The triple option depends on the DE coming in and leaving a gap, Short field means the gap is not nearly so big.

Maybe I’m imagining this, but the first 15 minutes went fast. That’s probably an effect of the triple option, but GT only had two possessions and threw more than normal.

The only thing that bothers me about this score...
is that 8 years ago GT led us 14-3 at the half and we came back to win after subbing Reauxhaun Davey for Josh Booty.
But I don’t believe in karma.

Another TD is nice, and
it looked to me like Jefferson checked more than one receiver on that play. He’s had a habit of only looking at one guy, so it’s nice to see him grow as a QB.

Keep it up in the second half. Embarass the yellow piss of their jersyes!

Support for UGA
In a previous life as a Army civilian, I was a frequent visitor to Atlanta. I knew even the surface streets. Was a great fan of Lewis Grizzardand so, had to develop a liking for UGA. So, will pull for you tomorrow.
SEC is the best, without a doubt! We may cannabilize each other, but, like family, we pull for each other against outsiders!

I’d probably think this is one of the worst bowl games ever…first half blowout, miscues in the second half that prevented scoring.
And what about the other games today…OSU and PITT playing a snoozer 3-0.

THANK YOU!!!
It doesn’t neutralize my Bulldogs’ loss to the North Avenue Trade School, but it will dampen at least a little bit their urge to bug me endlessly. Not beating Tech is not nearly as bad as Tech winning. That may not make sense to many, but those who understand rivalries like this will understand. Keeping them to 9 wins while we still have a chance to get 10 (over a Big 10 school, incidentally) is a big deal. And for that, I am forever grateful to LSU.
By the way, how ’bout them ’Dores?!
