Georgia Football: 5 takeaways from the App. State game.

Offensive line struggles.

While the running backs looked good, it’s safe to say that the O-line looked not so good. It was nowhere near as bad as it was for much as last year, but it was by no means dominant. App State has one of the smallest defensive lines Georgia will see all year. While they might be fast, this should have been a team that UGA could physically dominate up front. That was something they did extremely rarely this game.

There were good moments. One of the things I noticed was that all the running backs ran more effectively behind the right side of the line then they did the left. That’s a little surprising because I was expecting them to run better to the left with Isaiah Wynn there at left tackle. He and Pat Allen both lack size but they are supposed to be on the quicker side. Both of them struggled to impose themselves on this App State DL. That was disappointing.

Andrew Thomas played ok at right tackle. He looks like a true freshman at times and I’m very glad he’s not playing at LT. I’m a bit worried about him going up against some top tier pass rushers, but for game 1, he did pretty well.

Next week this unit go up against what is supposed to be a weak Notre Dame DL. They are not as fast as App. State so hopefully that helps. If this line ever comes together, this offense should be really good.
