Georgia football: what went right, wrong in the victory over Auburn
Goal line struggles continue
Georgia just can’t score from the goal line, and it’s clearly a mental issue right now. Who’s having the mental issue though? The players or the play caller? Against Florida and Kentucky, Georgia tried to power their way in, but no one appeared to be assigned to stop the opponents best lineman off the edge. That appeared to be the case again on a Holyfield run in the first quarter.
The fake run to the left to the bootleg to the right play for Justin Fields looked either poorly drawn up, or poorly executed by Fields. He also scrambled around too much on a long sack and Jake Fromm missed Isaac Nauta in the end zone.
Whoever deserves most of the blame better get their act together if Georgia hopes to upset Alabama. Scoring opportunities will be scarce, we have to make the most of them.

12 penalties
12 penalties are just too much, especially when some were just silly, like the substitution infractions on offense and defense. Some penalties were questionable though. Deandre Baker’s unnecessary roughness seemed ticky-tacky. The pass interference against Tyson Campbell was questionable as well.
