CLARK LEA
Georgia had 4 yards on average on 3rd downs, Vandy was at 8
When Vandy scored, it didn’t have a 3rd down on the series (referring to the first drive)
Seals’s interception hurt, they needed at least 3 in that spot
The 2-point conversion had a shot to get them within a score and then Georgia scored too easily on the next drive
Aspects of Seals’s game were good, that’s something they can build on
They’ll never accept anything other than winning
They’ve got to maximize the bye week and get healthy
THIRD DOWNS, WHAT WERE THE ISSUES
Will need to look at the tape more but…
They wanted to make them drive the whole field today and they did that sometimes today
But on execution part he needs to see more of tape, though some of it was rush-lane integrity on defense
On offense, they’ve got to get into more manageable third downs
Two of their conversion attempts were inside four yards on the whole day
A third-and-2 became third-and-7
They’ve got to clean it up
KEN SEALS, HAS HE DONE ENOUGH TO STAY THE STARTER?
He did a good job managing the game today
Not looking to make a statement on the situation today
They’ll reassess after the bye
Thought he played well, had good decisions, got them into good plays
CJ TAYLOR INJURY
Tips his cap to him for a gutsy performance
They’ll get him imaged and get him more information
Hopefully he’ll be back
THE TIPPED BALL REPLAY, WHAT WAS HE UPSET ABOUT?
The play, how the play was ruled, the mechanics of the replay… it’s fighting for every blade of grass
Thought it was a remarkable job but he didn’t get a great look on the board
Part of his responsibility is to fight for his team in that moment and that’s what he’s doing
QUESTION ABOUT THE FAILED OPPORTUNITY TO GET POINTS AND KICKING WITH BORCILLA
They had a conversation about it because the wind was in play
Hit it well but not well enough
They were just looking for points
Said he couldn’t remember how much they had to gain, thought it was 6-7 yards (my note: I think he’s correct, I remember it as 7)
ALLOWING 500 or SO YARDS THE LAST 3 GAMES, WILL THEY CHANGE PLAY-CALLERS
That’s not where his head is
There are elements where they played better and kept the ball in front of them
Then there were times where they had breakdowns in execution, for instance, the plays at the end of the half. They “should have had that all the way.”
His attention will be on teaching and learning and getting player to play with confidence
They’ve exacerbated their secondary depth
ASKED ABOUT BEING MORE COMPETITIVE WITH GEORGIA, WHAT CAN YOU TAKE FROM THAT IN TERMS OF ENCOURAGEMENT?
He takes nothing from that right now. We’re here to win and right now he doesn’t feel any better
Yes, they’ve improved and he sees that but their margins are razor thin
Their play hasn’t been consistent enough to have success
Talked about the three-game stretch earlier in the season with nine turnovers and how it makes you question things you know to be true, that it’s disorienting
Now things are settling in a little bit and he’s seeing they have young guys who can play
Thinks there’s a good team in there that can play in a manner to win games
They can do that
They need to keep progressing forward
BYE WEEK
They need to get recovered physically
Starting Week 0 it’s been a challenging game
They had all kinds of soft tissue issues in fall camp and it feels like there’s a lag effect there
They’re hoping resting De’Rickey Wright today in combo with next week will help
Want to get young players scrimmage experience
Focus will be on recovery
There’s a mental and a physical and emotional recovery
