4. Jim Chaney

While new offensive coordinator Jim Chaney may not have been on the field, he definitely had a big impact on the game. Last week Chaney made the list of Bulldogs who needed to perform better. He kept the offense playing tight against Nicholls State and the they suffered for it.

Against Missouri he went away from tight packages and let Eason stay in the spread. The offensive line could do nothing to slow down Missouri’s pass rush which effectively took away Georgia’s ability to operate under center.

But when Georgia started running more of a spread offense, Eason had much more time to find open receivers, and the run game was a bit more effective as well.

Chaney did what was necessary as a coach to take pressure off of a struggling unit and just let play makers be play makers.
