I thought the teams were about even, but Georgia had a ton of personal-foul penalties.

Unfortunately it's shaping up for him to save his job with a win over Georgia.

As good as if not better than last year. Defense is ridiculous.

Yep, my thoughts exactly
What's sad is that it's doubtful we fire him unless we go 6-6 or worse. Ideally, we'd fire him and bring Tee Martin home where he belongs. Or may be try to sway Jim Bob Cooter into leaving the NFL.

Its been a while since anyone posted in the CFB thread but I have to vent a bit.
Georgia in the game against Auburn on Saturday had to be the worst coached team I've ever seen. The entire team showed up completely unprepared and without anything resembling focus.
But worst of all was the utter lack of anything resembling adjustments. Auburn's defensive front is very, very good and they were absolutely locked in on getting into the backfield and shutting down Georgia's run game between the tackles. It became obvious very quickly that Auburn had the talent to shut down the power run game so what does Smart and Chaney do? They double down and call even more runs between the tackles!
After the game Smart was asked about it and his only explanation was that he wants Georgia to be a power run team and that's what they're going to do. Okay, I get it. You don't abandon the run unless you have no other option. That's fine. But when Auburn's D-line is so locked in on shooting off their blocks, getting into the backfield, and blowing things up, you have to try some stuff to slow them down.
The first thing any halfway decent coach does is start calling some screen passes. With how the D-line was pinning their ears back and shooting off their blocks, they were asking to have screens thrown against them. But Georgia didn't even try it. Smart was asked about the lack of screens and his explanation was that Georgia doesn't run screens because other teams cover our RBs no matter where they are.
Either Smart is spinning a tale to try to cover up his ineptitude or Auburn was assigning a defender to the RB. Even if it is true that Auburn had a defender assigned to the RB, that just means that they were leaving themselves open somewhere else.
There are also a bunch of other things Georgia could have tried to slow down Auburn's defense. Draw plays, quick slants, getting the TE's involved, picking on man coverage when Auburn was putting safeties in the box. ANYTHING!
But all Georgia did was keep handing the ball off and running straight into the teeth of Auburn's defense. I honestly don't know if I've ever seen a worse coached game.

Jim Chaney is so slow to adjust. His adjustment before the season was good and covers his tail most of the time but if you take it away the coach that everyone has hated appears again. The RPO and the read option. Someone finally made an adjustment to it and it was Auburn playing a DB as a LB and otherwise playing the RPO straight up instead of stacking the box.
In the next game he showed plays he should've done the week before.

Nervous as usual about the Tech game.
Regarding the Auburn game, I agree with a lot of what was said but nothing we called or did was going to change the outcome. The focus was fine until the second half. Once you lose the momentum on the road in an environment like that, you aren't getting it back.

Congratulations Auburn. No excuses. They outplayed and outcoached Alabama today
Craziness. UGA might fare better at the Dome this time against Auburn. Although I’d honestly rather Auburn take it.
