Auburn vs Georgia - Halftime Notes/Analysis

As Georgia and Auburn head to the half, Georgia has physically dominated this football game and it's shown on the score board.

Halftime Ramblings from Brooks. 

Georgia up (24-3)

So, here's the deal, I scribble a bunch of notes, track and chart critical third downs, all that silly nerdy football stuff that I love. Sometimes, good thoughts come out of them, sometimes it's a hectic mess of jumbled notes I can't read. Let's find out what we have today:

*11 penalties for 98 penalty yards in the first half is inexcusable, and I would imagine Kirby Smart would tell you the same thing.

Offensively:

  • Georgia opened in predominately 11 and 12 personnel with six and seven-man protections in the passing game. 
  • The offensive line has created a significant push up front, leading to Georgia having much more success in the run game. 
  • Darnell Washington has continued to be a blocking force in the run game. 
  • Kearis Jackson has become the safety blanket for Stetson Bennett. 
  • Bennett worked through his reads exceptionally quick throughout the first half and got the ball out quickly. 

Defensively:

  • Georgia has remained in man-to-man coverage for the overwhelming majority of the first half. 
  • Third Down rush package: Dean, Walker, Carter, Stevenson, Anderson, and Ojulari. A lineup filled with dynamic pass-rushing and blitzing threats. 
  • Richard LeCounte out for the remainder of the contest for targeting penalty. 

Personnel Notes:

Offensively
