Every week, Dayne Young and Brent Rollins break down the video and data from the most recent Georgia football game. This is Film Don't Lie.

Dayne: It is rare that a double digit conference win on the road reveals more flaws than it confirms strengths, but that's what happened for Georgia in Lexington. The Bulldogs were battered, and they return to Athens with an extensive list of injuries. The troubling reality I noticed in the 14-3 Bulldogs victory is that Georgia and Kentucky operated in very similar fashion because of the same fatal flaw: passing attack futility. Georgia is far too talented to be simply a more athletic Kentucky.

Brent: Kentucky's defensive style often forces a team to run the ball, and the Wildcats also controlled the time of possession with lengthy drives of their own. However, it's quite telling that, after a bye week to regroup, self-scout and refocus, this is what Georgia chose to look like on the offensive side of the ball. Now, did Kirby Smart and the offensive staff know the likelihood of winning this game in this fashion was extremely high, and play some gamesmanship with the Gators? Possibly, but Dayne's final point is both eye opening, disheartening, and reality all in one.

Dayne: Darnell Washington should be a mismatch versus any defense because of his height and size. He showed decent hands as well on this catch. It may be a cliché around these parts, but incorporating more passes to Washington (a tight end), will tax defenses more. Credit to Stetson Bennett here too for stepping up and getting rid of the ball when Warren Ericson lost his block.

Brent: As our Radi Nabulsi said in his 3-2-1 report Friday, "Run the ball, don’t turn it over, sprinkle in play-action, so our Brent Rollins doesn’t beat his head on the wall." Outside of the turnover part, that's exactly what Georgia did. This was a beautiful first down, play-action delayed route from Washington, and Bennett made a great throw under pressure. This was actually the only time Bennett was pressured on his 15 drop-backs.

Dayne: James Cook is proving to be one of Georgia's best receiving threats. He does a great job here of slicing through a crowded area and sitting in an open quadrant of the field.

Brent: Even the camera operator knew Cook was going to be wide open and getting the ball on this play. This is a gorgeous first-down play-action design straight out of the Kyle Shanahan playbook. First, you have the eye candy of jet sweep action; then a secondary fake to Cook before he leaks out into his route. Most importantly, though, is the player who doesn't touch a soul on the play: left guard Justin Shaffer. Watch Kentucky's backside inside linebacker (No. 6) follow Shaffer's pulling action and scrape to the play side. Even if the linebacker stayed put, Tre McKitty was open crossing the formation.

The above two plays were play-action passes on first down. For the game, Bennett was 4-6 for 100 yards, the first interception, and an 88.9 passing grade on first down.

Dayne: Zamir White had his most explosive game as a runner for Georgia. This touchdown is made possible by two top-notch blocks. Tre' McKitty gnashes the backside, while Jamaree Salyer uses perfect hand placement to turn the defensive lineman inside and away from White's intended running lane.

Brent: In addition to the blocking Dayne mentions, Darnell Washington caves in the linebacker, and Bennett essentially blocks the safety because of his threat as a runner, even though this was in no way a read (watch Bennett's eyes—they're a give all the way). Of note, Salyer and McKitty led the team in run block grade, with an 83.3 and 77.1 grade, respectively.

Dayne: Salyer and Justin Shaffer pull on this play to give White big-time blocks at the point of attack. Notice too how McKitty fights hard and keeps his feet moving at the center of the formation. That's great effort from the transfer tight end.

Brent: This counter action with the backside guard and tackle pulling has become a staple of the ground game. White does a great job of being patient to the hole and then accelerating through it to get yards after contact. Of his 136 rushing yards, 81 came after contact.

Dayne: Bennett makes fewer mistakes when he's on the run or expanding the pocket. He had the early roll out, then the keeper on the touchdown run. Other than that, Bennett was not much of a threat with his feet. These are two positive plays, and Georgia should utilize this aspect of his game more often.

Brent: In order to stay ahead of the chains and put the offense in the best position to succeed, these two plays must become staples. While the zone read action is best used around the goal line or in short yardage, it would be great to see in the middle of the field on early downs as well. Give Bennett the opportunity to pick up a quick first down with his legs. Further—much like what Sean McVay does with Jared Goff for the Los Angeles Rams—the use of the bootleg must increase. It will give Bennett space in the pocket and receivers a chance to get downfield.

Dayne: This pass is not an interception because Bennett is a short quarterback; it's an interception because he made a poor decision and displayed poor mechanics. Bennett is on the balls of his feet, and steps into the path of the defender. He also does not see Kearis Jackson coming open across the middle of the field. The execution of this play is not good, but the decision is even worse.

Brent: Before considering the horrid nature of this play's execution, let's consider the timing and previous three plays. The pass we discussed above to James Cook for 46 yards, a Zamir White run for nine yards and then another White run for 10 yards. While I'll always advocate for attacking through the air on early downs, you'd already hit the needed explosive pass play and gotten in a goal-to-go situation with two consecutive chunk runs. Also, you've already made it clear early in the game you were going to be a run-first, physical team on this day. Finish off the drive as such.

The play was designed to get Kentucky to bite on the quick game and hit White on the wheel route in the end zone. Once Kentucky stayed deep, Bennett realized Jermaine Burton was standing there by himself, and just threw it with no awareness of his surroundings, no step-up into a very clean pocket.

Dayne: Kirby Smart said after the game that Bennett was trying to throw this football out of bounds. I simply cannot understand that as being true. Bennett had 15 yards of unoccupied sideline space if his main intention was to throw the football out of bounds. It looks more likely that Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint and Bennett had different expectations for this route. Either way, a quarterback must protect the football and Bennett failed to do that.

Brent: Bottom line, no matter the youth of the receiver or the indecision of the quarterback, this play cannot happen five games into a season and coming off a bye week. On the other camera view of the play, it showed when Bennett was ready to throw, Rosemy-Jacksaint had his hands on the defender basically at a stalemate. Again, much like the first interception, once the initial play is not there, hitch up into the clean pocket and check the ball down.

Dayne: At times, Georgia appeared to run at will. Blocking was hardly consistent, though. Salyer whiffs from the snap here and Washington gets a passive effort. Shaffer also gets beaten.

Brent: These situations are going to present themselves throughout the remainder of the season. When they do, is the offense going to be in attack mode and make the defense pay for playing so close, or basically just give the down away?

Dayne: McKitty had some tremendous blocks as seen above. He also had this lackluster effort on the backside, for this third down attempt. He has to recognize that Justin Shaffer has Wildcat defenders crashing down in gaps on both sides of him. Shaffer gets shoved out of the play, and Georgia does not convert.

Brent: Do you remember the next play after this? Zamir White's touchdown run on fourth down. It is the exact same play as above. Thus, if you want to see the execution differences between two plays, watch this and then the touchdown. Kentucky's defensive call on third down actually is the true difference. Watch the right inside linebacker twist with the defensive lineman (LB goes inside and DL outside). This causes Salyer and Washington to be slightly off with their blocks, and the play is unsuccessful. There was no stunt on fourth down, and Salyer and Washington dominated their blocks leading to White's touchdown.

Dayne: Washington is a strong and athletic guy. He must navigate around a retreating Trey Hill to ensure he is in position to lead-block. By being half a beat too slow, Washington arrives at his block too vertical, and with his shoulders oriented in the incorrect way. This allows Kentucky to manipulate his balance with one moderate shove.

Brent: Can't get them all. Kentucky's Phil Hoskins (No. 92) also does a good job of making Salyer stay with him and not peel off onto the linebacker (No. 5). Independent of this one play, though, Washington has been very impressive in the run game as a true freshman. In fact, his current overall run block grade of 80.0 leads the team.

Dayne: Azeez Ojulari bailed out Eric Stokes' missed sack attempt with this relentless effort play. Ojulari gets pinned between two linemen. He keeps his eyes on the quarterback and continues to jockey for leverage. He commits to his tackle attempt while Joey Gatewood is attempting to scramble. With one arm, Ojulari trips up the quarterback and makes the stop. This is tremendous.

Brent: This was only third down and two. While it's possible Jordan Davis still prevents Gatewood from getting the first down, Ojulari made sure of it with an outstanding effort of finding a way to get the quarterback. Ojulari continues to be Georgia's best defender. His current 87.1 overall grade is the sixth-highest among FBS edge defenders with at least 200 snaps and leads the SEC.

Dayne: This tackle potentially saved four points as Georgia finally stalled Kentucky on that 10-plus minute drive in the second quarter. Travon Walker shows great awareness of the quarterback's scrambling tendencies. Walker will be one of Georgia's most crucial players, especially if other defensive lineman are out with injuries.

Brent: Kentucky wasn't terrible on third down in the game, going 7-16. However, Walker's sack forced them into third and long. On third and five or more, the Wildcats were only one of seven. Nakobe Dean shadowed Gatewood perfectly here and was the overall best player on the field, finishing with a team-high 83.0 game grade. Notice the Kentucky tight end block and then release at the top of the screen; Florida will, too.

Dayne: This fourth down stop was lost to Kentucky's offensive line, but had little chance to succeed based on alignment anyway. Georgia was willing to go five versus five at the line of scrimmage and have Eric Stokes blitz from the bottom. Because of Kentucky's passing woes, Georgia could have loaded the box more often.

Brent: Florida will spread Georgia out much like Kentucky did, but obviously with a pass-focus as opposed to a running one. However, situations like above will test Georgia's run defense. Over the past two games, Georgia has allowed 5.7 yards per carry to Alabama and 5.3 yards per carry to Kentucky when there were six or fewer box defenders. Being able to stop any Florida rushing game with six or fewer box defenders will be key to forcing the Gators into third and long situations.

Brent: It's rare you see Georgia's defense have bad run fits, but this is one. Eric Stokes takes steps inside and allows Gatewood to get the edge. These outside fits will be tested in a much different way with Florida because of Kadarius Toney. The Gators will look to get him on the edge, and if you take false steps like above against Toney, he will take it to the house.

Dayne: Whether it is fumbling, botched snaps, or failing to remain in bounds/get out of bounds at the worst times, Georgia is making far too many unforced errors. Championship teams do not do these things, especially halfway through a season and after a bye week.

On a positive note, football rewards quick recognition and max effort. Credit to Jake Camarda for quickly reacting to the live ball and potential danger here. His tackle might have saved precarious situations for his teammates. Though Justin Shaffer does a good job of hustling at a good angle to the path of the returner.

Brent: Coming into the game, the Bulldogs were tied for the second-highest special teams grade in the FBS. Outside of bad clock management on a fourth quarter punt in this game (the clock was running, and they chose not to let it continually run and snapped to punt with 30-plus seconds on the play clock), this was probably the first truly negative special teams play the team has had. Kudos to Camarda for his effort as he gets hit and then still battles to make the tackle. Also a good job by the rest of the unit for hustling and taking good angles to prevent a kick-six to end the half.

Dayne: Georgia looks to be a one-dimensional team offensively, and I don't see solutions coming from the current personnel group at quarterback. The Bulldogs' best chance at this point is to rely on skill players, minimize turnovers, and win the field position battle. The offense most assuredly needs George Pickens, too. Otherwise, defenses will continually dare Georgia to win with downfield passing.

Brent: Much as I wrote in my postgame reaction, the deja vu elements between the 2019 Kentucky game and this past weekend's are eerily similar, outside of the weather factor. A season ago, the Bulldogs took care of business in Jacksonville two weeks later and secured the SEC East. Can they do that again with an offense stuck in the mud and a team with numerous injuries suddenly, on both sides of the ball? We'll see next Saturday in Gainesville if the 2020 Georgia Bulldogs have a different gear.
