2012 Outback Bowl

A few things were obvious to everyone.

Our offensive line was abused which made the conservative run calls for a majority of the 2nd half even more dumbfounding. The one drive when we were aggressive while trailing, we went right down the field and scored a TD.

Halftime adjustments. One team did well here.

Settling for a 42 yard kick would be stupid with a kicker that had never missed in his life. Settling for one with a 50% kicker is insanity.

3 OT possessions: -9 yards.

No toss sweep, no draw, not one touch by a fullback and just 1 by a TE.

Boykin put up one of the best performances in Georgia history. He and Ben Jones are and always will be DGD's.

Not so obvious.

Georgia defense gave up 58 combined points in the 2nd half of the last 2 games. I don't care if its fatigue or injuries or whatever, you can't go into the off season saying you have a "great" defense for 2012.

Georgia beat 4 teams with winning records in '11: Miss State (7-6), Florida (7-6), Auburn (8-5), and GTU ( 8-5).

In Georgia's last 17 games against ranked opponents, the Dawgs are 3-14. Two of those 3 wins have come against teams ranked #24.

* The season was fun and not bad. Georgia took care of business against everyone they should and had the #1 team in the country on the ropes for a half. But imo, Georgia can't continue to have the mindset that a win is a win. Georgia, and specifically CMR, need to expect perfection. Right now and since 2001 I think we are happy with above average. Above average almost bit us in Oxford, Knoxville, and especially Nashville. It got us a loss in Tampa.
