Here the litmus test . Say what you want about ECU , we should beat them handily . Any SEC team not coached by Will Muschamp should win that game . If we are at least Competitive with UGA I’ll be a believer . By competitive I mean within 2 TDs . If they drop 50 on us the first two W’s mean nothing at all . If we battle and at least keep it close into the 4th we might have something .
So? What do you think of Shane Beamer?
- Thread starter world famous 3rd base hecklers
- Start date
Sure it does...we got in a pre-season scrimmage and came out 1-0.
Hopefully repeat next week with our key starters back.
Coaches now have an idea of what to work on.
Life is good.
And yet it's drastically different this time, as last year was a 10 game conference only schedule. This year has 3 creampuffs added to the regular conference schedule.
That's why I commented on simply comparing wins from last year to this year.
A breath of fresh air. Seen many games against such opponents where the Cocks played down to the competition but not this game. Also enjoyed the enthusiasm of the coaches and players...it seemed genuine. Good chemistry can lead to an upset or two.
We beat Charleston Southern 72-10 in 2019 and they were a much better team than Eastern Illinois.
Why are we pretending the performance last night was an outlier?
I'll admit, the crowd at my house was too rowdy to take careful notice of this game - at least of the details. I'll watch a replay later this week.
But we beat a team we should have beaten quite handily without our starting QB and RB. Overall, I would give us a solid B.
I like this staff - a lot. They are going to be successful if they can recruit.

Disagree a bit here. Should we beat ECU , hopefully we will not be taken to the woodshed by Georgia. But even if that does happen:
1) we are 2-1 with Troy and Vandy that should be sure wins
2) win those, we have four wins and we still have the yearly toss up games with Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mizzou.
3) win two of those, and this team sits at 6-6. Not great, I know. But it will give Beamer proof that he is improving the program to recruits.
I don't think anybody over the age of 12 is under any illusion that the corner has been turned.
First time we shut out a team since 2008 and people on this forum want to complain. Not ever our 3 11-2 teams shut out an opponent during their run.
Success should not always be measured in wins and losses. When the camera focused on Beamer as the team was waiting to enter the field, the excitement on his face was very telling. He looked to be taking it all in, and telling himself "I can't believe this is really happening".
I believe Beamer will be successful. I'm certainly supporting him.

I agree. Winning 4 is the ceiling right now unless that OL gets better. E. Illinois is a garbage team. I was shocked we couldn't blow them off the ball. Our WR group is still a concern as well. A lot of thing to improve before we go on the road to ECU.
Some are dismissing b/c their d-line is small and quick. Well, UGA's line is big and quick. You are right, we should have been much better push on the OL.
I'm sure Beamer is well aware. Unfortunately, there's not a lot that can be done about it.
No, he's not. He's exactly right. We will know more after the next 2 games.
For an opening game, I thought we looked a lot less sluggish than many openers we have had.
Never got a sense our QB seemed overwhelmed by the moment which was good to see. D looked better than I'd hoped.
Like the excitement on the sideline.
Too many third and longs on offense but we did ok considering that. If the most improvement is always made between week one and two, I look forward to seeing what the coaches can do going forward.
Overall pleased. I believe this team could beat last year's team. That's always a good place to be starting from.

This was the main thing that stuck out to me. We put ourselves in a number of bad down/distance situations that we probably don't convert in SEC play.
Yeah, probably not a bad year to be having two non conference games before conference play.
Seems reasonable. This team is definitely better than our three 11-win teams.
I never said that. Typical of your posts though. As good as those 11-2 teams were we never shut out an opponent. Nice way to start the season, doing something for the first time since 2008.
There were times I wondered how lousy the game would be if Muschamp teams played against air, much less a team they should steam roll.
Nope, not kidding. Florida is supposed to be the 2nd best team in the SEC East and they.did not look good. With that said they should have beaten FAU much worse. Florida has no problem running up scores on teams. It was not a good game for them, but it was not because of anything FAU was able to do. Also, we did thrash EIU.
Wrong, he like most on here who pout when we win. Nobody is saying we beat Bama or anything like that
We have some on here, who think we didnt play well......ridiculous
4 TDs passes
260 rushing
2 sacks
2 blocked punts
1 defensive TD
2 INTs
0 points allows
Nope. But what it looked like last night is the bleeding has stopped and we looked competent again. Been a long time since that’s been seen around here.
Who's pretending? No one's referring to the final score but how the game progressed. Not sure why that's difficult to understand. 🤔
Why walk back your comments?
Clearly if it's something we didn't do back then, we must be better now.
No, as good as those teams were we never managed a shutout. Simple point, yet you ignore it
That's what I'm saying. This team did get a shutout, so clearly this year's team is better than those teams.
Pros:
1. We pitched a shutout. Always a good thing.
2. The defense played fast and physical. For the first time since Muschamp stained our sideline, they looked like a cohesive unit.
3. Beamer Ball. Two blocked punts. Love it.
4. White. The man played like his hair was on fire and his ass was catching.
Cons:
1. The OL. It was hard watching them give up so much pressure up the middle. Considering the were supposed to be a strength -- again -- that was very disappointing.
2. Penalties. Got to clean that up. Simple as that.
3. (Hopefully just a minor one.) Lloyd. I was hoping for so much more against an inferior opponent. He had a couple of flashes, but overall just underwhelmed IMO. I don't know his final numbers, just that it felt like it should've been better. Of course, this could be tied to No. 1.

It was a false start on that play against Florida and a hold right in his face. Two pick plays but they had the nerve to call hold on Jaycee Horn when he caught an interception smh refs just doesn’t like us, remember the ref tackling Garcia?
