Georgia football played vanilla not sloppy in first half
Georgia football had three possessions in the first half against Kentucky, resulting in three field goals from Jack Podlesney. However, the Dawgs aren’t struggling but playing basic football against the Wildcats.
The Dawgs don’t have to pull out the bells and whistles to beat the Wildcats. Georgia has to play its game, and victory should follow. Kentucky has a decent program that will challenge the Dawgs because they aren’t trying to blow them out of the water. Georgia is playing basic and saving itself for bigger opportunities later in the season.
This strategy isn’t the Dawgs overlooking Kentucky or anything like that. The Dawgs are better than Kentucky and don’t have to show off its offense to win, so why not get in and out of this game without any injuries? Why not get out of this game without any turnovers or silly mistakes?
Georgia football is playing vanilla, and that strategy is wise for games like the Kentucky one.
The Wildcats are physical, and so is Georgia. Head coach Kirby Smart said it at halftime, they have to play more physically, and that is what halftime adjustments are for, to correct things and play better in the second half. It’s also cold in Lexington, so that could also have something to do with their performance.
Georgia isn’t playing poorly; no one should worry right now. Vanilla is okay with games like this, and as long as the Dawgs are still executing, there is nothing to worry about — win, and you’re in the playoffs. Georgia just has to win, and it doesn’t have to be a blowout to be impressive.
