Georgia plays "old man football"
Pretty good article about next week's game here in the AJC. Pretty bold thing to say, quoted the money shot here...

Georgia was so frusterating to watch last night. They really played terribly. The fact is that they ran the spread for whatever reason and they should have played "old man football."
Mizzou played a pretty good game. I think the difference was quality depth. Georgia had to start five freshmen because of the suspensions and Mizzou ran out of depth in the 4the quarter. Mizzou is close to being really good. |

Those turnovers were caused by Jarvis Jones being awesome. In no way am I suggesting that Georgia didn't beat Missouri. Georgia took control of that game, for sure. But it wasn't an expected SEC situation where the depth (or lack of depth) of each team becomes apparent as one team pulls away in the 4th quarter. This was different: in this game a special defensive player single-handidly took over a game. |

There's nothing wrong with Old Man Football. I don't think the problem with Big 10 football is the style of football, it's their passive style of recruiting that short-changes them on talent. It's an old man's "gentlemen's agreement" league.
If Mizzou thinks "old man football" is a bad thing, they're in for a rude awakening. Lots of teams that play terrific defense and will back that defense up with a running game that runs it down your throat with good downhill running and an offensive line that will overpower you. |

Very well could have been, sure. Mizzou found some passing success in the middle of the field, and those yards would have been harder to come by with Georgia at full strength. But that's a wash, because a full-strength Mizzou o-line would have improved Franklin's timing on passes as well as the run game.

I don't believe mu is going to have a good line, never did. Even without the injuries. They hung in there but I disagree about the depth issues. When a team pulls away in the last ten minutes it's usually about depth and condition. Posted via Mobile Device |

But that wasn't the case last night. That depth disparity might have resulted in Georgia pulling away in normal circumstances, but we didn't get normal circumstances. Those MU turnovers had very little to do with depth and conditioning. |

Georgia were hitting hard yesterday as well. Mizzou has to bring more of a physical game.
