SEC Football: Takeaways for Each Team from Week 9

Georgia Bulldogs

Georgia 10-Florida 24

The Georgia Bulldogs are struggling in Kirby Smart’s first year at the helm, and he knows it.

"“We are 4-4. That’s a fact. That’s a reality…What can we do about it? Get our butts ready to play Kentucky…There’s some frustrated kids in that locker room, and I’m frustrated for them. But I also know they will fight.”"

I’ll leave it at that, as the head coach said it best.

Impact Moving Forward

-Potential problems brewing

Georgia’s defense played well, as Florida’s offense only provide 231 yards combined between rushing and passing. The problem, though, was that Georgia could never get the run game going. As a team, the Bulldogs rushed 19 times for 21 yards. There were no turnovers for Georgia, though Georgia did cause one.

What all that adds up to is there are problems brewing in Athens. Georgia was flat-out outplayed and now sits at 4-4. Mark Richt was shown the door, but the team has regressed instead of progressing. Kirby Smart will get a pass in year one, but he could have some serious doubters moving forward if the outcome against Kentucky is the same.
