Unbelievable. Georgia lost to Vanderbilt at home for the first time since 2006. (Yes, this world as we know it is ending). The inconsistency of this Georgia team is inconceivable.
Georgia made a ridiculous amount of mistakes in this game. The offensive line’s performance was absolutely atrocious after two-straight weeks of improved play. As a result, the running game could not get anything going, and UGA star running back Nick Chubb was held to only 40 yards on 16 carries. That is an average of 2.5 yards a carry. That is unacceptable.
The stingy Vanderbilt defense held Georgia to only 75 yards rushing. However, Jacob Eason had an improved game, and UGA still outgained the Commodores by 250 yards. However, the Dawgs still found a way to salvage defeat from the jaws of victory.
Georgia’s special teams unit came back to bite them once again as the kick coverage unit was once again horrible. Do not forget they gave up a 95-yard kickoff return to Vanderbilt’s Darrius Sims which set up the first touchdown of the game.
Although Jacob Eason had a solid game statistically, some of his throws were off and struggled with his progressions. The offense, as a whole, never really found a rhythm in this game either.
Despite Georgia’s struggles, they still had a chance to win this game but were stuffed on fourth down in Vandy territory with a little over a minute to go in the game, and the Commodores took a knee to win it.
There were many mistakes made in this game, but the ones listed above stand out the most. Georgia has had an extensive history of finding a way to beat themselves. That much is obvious.
They proved that this monkey is still on their back today in their loss to the Commodores. Hopefully, the Dawgs can pick themselves and buck this trend in the future.
