The word for today, class, is discombobulation.

What better way to describe Georgia’s offense for much of the past two Saturdays against Missouri and Tennessee.

Considering Georgia is still averaging over 40 points per game. If you haven’t been watching, you might wonder why such a word would ever be used.

Allow me to explain.

Let’s start by taking a look at Saturday’s 38-12 victory over the Vols. Don’t let the final score fool you. There were issues.

The Bulldogs have allowed seven sacks in five games, but five have occurred in the past two, including three in Saturday’s victory against the Vols.

Couple that with the fact that the Bulldogs have lacked rhythm offensively in back-to-back games against teams where that should not have been a problem. With a huge game looming two weeks from now in Baton Rouge, that’s a legitimate concern.

I think that’s one of the reasons we saw Justin Fields get in the game as often as he did.

If you can’t protect the quarterback, you want someone back there who can escape danger, which Fields was able to do on a couple of occasions.

This isn’t necessarily a knock on Fromm, who was off with a few of his throws, but wasn’t helped by some porous offensive line play and dropped passes.

Tight end Isaac Nauta whiffed—I mean, completey whiffed—on linebacker Darrell Taylor, who sacked Fromm and stripped the ball before he even knew what happened. Nauta was resourceful enough to pick up the loose football and run it 31 yards for the score, but Lady Luck was on Georgia’s side here.

Right tackle was also a sore spot.

Isaiah Wilson gave up a sack, as did Kendall Baker, ironically enough, right after he replaced Wilson at the position midway through the third quarter.

If Georgia can’t figure out its issues in pass protection, one has to wonder if we’ll start seeing more from Fields, simply because of his ability to escape. Either that, or Fromm will need to get rid of the ball faster.

Fields did provide a spark, scoring touchdown runs of 12 and 15 yards. But he wasn’t perfect, either.

Although he only threw two passes, completing one for five yards, there was an errant throw to Jayson Stanley that the sophomore was unable to pull down on the sideline. Later, Fields threw into double coverage on a free play as the result of an offsides penalty. The ball would have been an interception if not for the earlier flag. Fields also fumbled the ball, which he recovered, and in another instance, the running back did not line up correctly, resulting in a broken play.

After the game, Kirby Smart had the line of the night when he told reporters “there is no plan” regarding how he plans on using Fields moving forward, stating that much of it on Saturday was “by feel” and according to what play the offense wanted to run.

How Georgia deploys its two quarterbacks moving forward will be the top offensive story line to follow, but it won’t be the only one.

The Bulldogs’ run blocking wasn’t very good, either. How much of that was due to the absence of Ben Cleveland? Some, it’s probably fair to say, but not all.

With the exception of Georgia’s final two scoring drives against a tired Tennessee defense, the Bulldogs once again lacked consistency in their run game. Basically, Georgia just didn’t get a lot of movement, and that’s definitely a concern.

Following Saturday’s game with Vanderbilt (7:30, SEC Network), Georgia’s schedule suddenly gets a whole lot tougher, beginning with the much-anticipated trip to LSU, before closing out SEC play with back-to-back-to-back games against Florida, Kentucky, and Auburn.

The good news for Georgia is this is obviously a very talented team with extremely talented players. Knowing Smart, he’ll do whatever is humanly possible to correct the mistakes that are being made and get the Bulldogs executing like we’ve seen them do before.

If Georgia wants to reach its preseason goals, that better be the case.
