I finished a first half re-watch (2nd half rewatch may wait until tomorrow). I have notes on literally all 44 offensive snaps in the first half but I doubt anyone wants to read it but I can post it if anyone is interested. Here are some general thoughts in no particular order:
Sark: I still hate the gameplan. There is a difference between establishing the run and running the ball. The run game was an afterthought for Texas in the first half. I don't know why Sark decided that this had to be a pass heavy game. Sark LOVES his window dressing. He loves using movement and motion to try and confuse defenses, but Georgia is way too well coached for that and way too athletic for it. When Texas played more directly they had success. This was particular in the run game. When they just ran the most basic shit (block down, pull the guards, HS football 101) they were able to move the ball on the ground. When they tried to get horizontal in any capacity Georgia was just too strong and athletic for it. Georgia Tech big dumb caveman football'd Georgia to death last week. Sark tried a lot of his usual bullshit and most of it didn't work or added very little.
Another thing that I really wanted to mention that's a smaller thing, they really need to phase out any play action where Ewers does a full 360 spin, particularly against fast, athletic defenses. Ewers' footwork is already a mess a lot of the time and when they do that against Georgia it's usually bad.
All that said, there were just so many sloppy goddamn plays. Golden and Bolden were the only ones on offense who weren't culpable for something that hurt the offense in the first half. Helm, Wingo, Moore and Bond all had drops. Helm was particularly bad blocking. The offensive line wasn't as bad as I thought, but there were still plenty of times where guys just got beat or made mistakes. Ewers would be fine in an offense where they don't need him to be great, but this offense kind of requires it and there are just too many bad throws and decisions.
I'm not looking forward to watching the second half because my instinct is that Sark completely went the other way and I bet it's bad. I'm gonna go watch NFL the rest of the day.
