Georgia fans frustrated amid disappointing performance vs. Mississippi State

Georgia has another huge national test looming next week as the Bulldogs travel to Austin to take on No. 1 Texas in Week 8 action. With the game on Saturday against Mississippi State, there was a chance for Georgia to get more in rhythm heading into that game.
Kirby Smart’s team was able to get the 41-31 win against Mississippi State, but it was a sloppy performance. There were big moments as quarterback Carson Beck threw for 459 yards and 3 touchdowns. However, he also threw 2 interceptions and made decisions that would normally come from a freshman quarterback.
The defense also had some issues, as they allowed 306 yards and 3 touchdowns to Mississippi State quarterback Michael Van Buren Jr.
Fans voiced their frustrations on social media.

How did Mike Bobo & Carson Beck fall off this hard compared to last year's offense?

Carson Beck is getting hit way too much because his WR’s aren’t getting open. He just got hit up high and drove to the ground pretty hard while in the midst of throwing

Haven’t seen a Georgia team play this undisciplined and sloppy in the Smart era.
Not sure it’s off field culture stuff seeping onto the field, but that wouldn’t be unprecedented. But for Kirby being so good , it wouldn’t even be surprising.

Georgia threw the ball 34 times and ran it 12 times.
Predictable.

It’s been 6 games.
Georgia’s offense just isn’t elite.
And the person in charge of the offense is Mike Bobo.

Many Georgia fans have been mad at Mike Bobo when something is clearly broken with the back half of the defense.
DeBoer exposed it in the first half. Lebby made adjustments & is exposing it in the second half today.
Not great.

Hard to put into words how disgraceful this Georgia team is.
Probably the worst team since Kirby’s first year here.

Georgia went up 34-10 and thought Miss State was going to lay down and now they’ve given them life. This is bad defense
— Graham Coffey (@GrahamCoffeyDC) October 12, 2024
This is the least disciplined Georgia defense I’ve seen since perhaps Kirby Smart’s first season. Bad penalties at bad times, bad eye discipline in the secondary, bad tackling for most of this season.

Georgia will hit the road next week as the Bulldogs will take on No. 1 Texas in Austin. The Longhorns showed why they are the top ranked team in college football as they dominated Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry. Texas won the game 34-3 behind an incredible performance by the defense.
The Longhorns held the Sooners to only 237 total yards of offense and they forced 2 turnovers. They also did a great job of getting 3rd down stops against Oklahoma, as the Sooners converted only 4-of-15 on 3rd downs.
Georgia and Texas will kick off next Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET, and the game will be on ABC.
