There is a lot that happens in a football game and it is easy to try and point your finger at reasons for shortcomings. It is what is in everyone's nature to do after a loss.
I will say that despite the committee getting the final 4 teams correct, they opened up a huge can of worms by taking injuries into account in my opinion. Georgia had injuries everywhere, and injuries are a part of college football... but* those players would have been healthy for playoffs in 4 weeks. I am not saying that Georgia should have been in playoffs, I am using an example of the can of worms opened up by using injuries to determine team standings.
As far as the game goes from a Georgia fan, there were several things that happened, not just one.
Of course I would have liked to have seen the catch reviewed. It would have been interesting I think and could have gone either way. Why do I say this? Think about a play where a receiver catches a ball, goes to turn up field, and the ball is knocked loose. They look for a duration of control, not an instance of control, or a *football move* to have taken place. Outcome could have stayed the same, I just wanted to see it reviewed
On defense, I told those on this board that the interior defensive line was weak compared to years past... Alabama fully exploited that. I am not sure who was in charge of keeping up with Bond, but they were playing in the dirt instead of watching Bond.
On offense, a boneheaded turnover didn't help. A penalty to push a field goal back didn't help either. Alabama defense did an excellent job at adjusting after Georgia's first drive. I wish yall still had pete golding lol
Overall I am not upset as a Georgia fan. We saw two excellent programs capable of playing 4 quarters of football go at it. I am more appreciative than I am upset at going 44-2 over 3 years. Those two losses though... Alabama... Saban is still Kirbys daddy.
Also....Kirby and Bobo need to sit down and think about some things, primarily in QB. I believe the days of a pro style QB are nearly gone without elite receiver talent. A dual threat gives an OC more options and limits a DC. Georgia lost a defender or two just because they were keeping eyes on Milroe. Georgia also had to play a lot of zone, giving receivers room, all so they could keep eyes on Milroe.
