Why the loss to LSU was exactly what Georgia Football needs

Sometimes you need to get punched in the mouth

Here’s the good news Dawg fans. Those mistakes are fixable. Fromm hasn’t looked unstoppable this season, but he clearly had his worst game of the year. He now has two weeks to learn from his mistakes and get better. Fans calling for his head need to realize that he won’t take this loss lying down. He and probably the entire team will be watching game film like crazy the next few weeks and they’ll be working their butts off on the practice field too.

Sometimes you need to get punched in the mouth to make you realize how much you hate to lose. There were a lot of young players out there who learned valuable lessons today. They melted in the pressure cooker environment, but they’ll be better for it going forward. Kirby Smart has been saying since the beginning of the year that he’s not sure his team quite understands how hard last years group worked. Well, they do now. They saw first hand how making mistakes can cost your team a game and they’ll learn. They’ll get better.

They’ll also be pissed off. Any Gator fans out there gloating about this loss should probably cool their boots. If they think that this Georgia team is going to show up to Jacksonville and play this badly, they’re going to be in for a rude awakening. You could see on the sideline how physically angry Georgia players were with themselves. They had a chance to make a statement and they blew it. They have nobody to blame but themselves and tomorrow will have to look in the mirror and decide what they want to do about it.

I don’t think you’re going to see many guys who decide that they want to phone it in for the rest of the season. Instead, I think you’re going to find 85 guys who are mad as hell about what happened to them. They’re going to want to put a beating down on everyone else they play this season to prove that they are not the scrubs everyone is saying they currently are. Personally, I think that’s a good thing. This unit has needed an edge all season, a bad taste in their mouths that cannot be wiped out until there is a ring sitting on their finger. Thanks to LSU, that’s exactly what they have.
