Six simple things Georgia football must do to win a national title

Georgia football needs to keep the throttle on all four quarters

Georgia football took their foot off the throttle right before halftime against Michigan and then in the second half of the game. Against Alabama, the Dawgs cannot let their foot off the gas. It doesn’t matter if they are up by 30 points — Georgia needs to keep trying to score until the final whistle blows.

The Tide won’t ever let off the throttle, so the Dawgs need to do the same. Rece Davis said it best when the Dawgs beat Alabama — it’s going to be like 96-6 because of all the frustrations they have falling seven times in a row.

If Georgia can get into an offensive rhythm and not stutter, they can keep up with Bryce Young and the explosive Alabama offense. The Dawgs did it all season long and granted, and they paired it with a ferocious defense that shut opponents down. This offense still scored at will for 95% of their games.

This game means more than the last six full seasons combined and is something that hasn’t been within reach since 2018. However, this game also carries 41 years of frustrations since the Dawgs last won a national title.

Head coach Kirby Smart cannot feel any emotion toward Nick Saban and Alabama. It doesn’t matter if he is Smart’s mentor or not, and the time is now to prove a point and extinguish all of the frustrations. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken needs to lay the hammer down over and over.

Smart can still be respectful toward Saban while hanging 50-plus points if that is what the game comes down to, but it’ll likely be close. Even if it is close, the Dawgs must keep the throttle down because Alabama can score and swing the momentum back their way in a blink of an eye. Keeping the throttle down helps the Dawgs’ confidence and momentum from going too far one way.
