So you get on your soapbox to call others out for pushing agendas just for you to turn around and do the same thing. We get it, everything is Sark’s fault, including a WR inexplicably tripping over his own feet on a play he has previously executed numerous times and in another instance dropping a routine catch.

Good play analysis.  

You intro it, though, with criticism of Sark.    Yet, for most of the plays, you praise Sark or blame player execution for the failure.  This is, I believe, the only specific Sark problem you mention:

Sark, what formation or down is causing them to line up like this? Because if we can trigger it we can run on them. Georgia is far more difficult when they are attacking. 

Of course, to one degree or another, player execution or lack thereof, is Sark's fault, as are the more systemic problems like OL and blocking scheme.

I'm sure there's more.

You really took it personal believing IT Film study has an agenda not to criticize Arch huh?

At the time when Arch was struggling I sure did. Look, everyone knows the O-line was a problem, but it wasn't the only problem. Any team can get to you with blitzes, but they leave themselves exposed in doing so. At some point you have to start punishing them for sending so many men, or vacating certain areas. We weren't doing that. 

I am doing this game because people contacted me and said this is the one they wanted to see. You see, the cool thing about posting every play is that there really can be no argument. Anyone can pick 5 plays to say what they want them to say. You post all 65 and the story tells itself. 

The Georgia game isn't a bad Arch game. This is well after Sark changed the offense to better fit Arch. This game is mostly about play-calling and poorly coached players failing to execute.

Just wanted to drop in and say I appreciate the format and effort you're putting in @Thatguy I know what a grind it is to create posts like this are and the time you're investing for free and probably a lot of flack. It is noted. So thanks! 

I suspect I won't agree with all of your takes, but based on our historical engagement I'll probably agree with most. To quote on of my favorite college football podcasters, Roll the Tape!

When a player keeps dropping the ball and you keep putting him in crucial situations where you need a play, who's fault is that? Wingo has suspect hands and you keep going to him on 3rd and gotta have it. I am not one of those that wants Sark fired, but I am going to be critical of him. 

Plenty more to go in this game so sit tight.

If you don't like what he's saying put together an opposing, and equally in depth counter of film study with break down of plays. Go into equal detail and support your points that counter his. You're using vague general statements with no data points on drops vs catches. Negative vs positive. Figure out how many yards and how much momentum the drops cost us, do a CBA on the positives and the yards and momentum his catches brought us. You know a full CBA on positive vs negative and convince us why the good out weighs the bad. If the CBA doesn't show that the good out weighs the bad, help us understand why that is not a failure on behalf of the coaching staff to have such a player be the teams #1 WR. Help us understand how these issues were 100% unavoidable. Help us understand why all accountability of choices by coaches or errors in evaluation and talent gaps falls onto the player(s).

This response is still disingenuous. Wingo is boom or bust I can admit that. I can also admit taking him off the field likely makes us even worse on offense. Also Sark calls a play and the team has to execute it. Arch has numerous passing options on said play. He threw the ball to the guy that managed to get open. I doubt very seriously Sark is directly telling Arch to throw the ball to Wingo on crucial downs in the headset.

It's a mesh concept specifically intended for Wingo, the number 1 receiver, to get open vs man. I don't disagree that Wingo has to be on the field. I do disagree to the amount of targets or us choosing him as the guy to go to in these gotta have it moments. In my opinion, this has to go to your hands guy. You are fully entitled to your own opinion though. I respect that.

Folks, this is Surly. We call each other out, disagree, and even call people pieces of shit here. Have at it. This is just my personal way I see things. You are more than welcome to pull the plays right from here and say how you see it. Even in this thread. I am all for it. We all can learn something. For example, I never played O-line. I can tell you what the play is calling for but I cannot go into detail about technique. What they are supposed to do with their feet and so on. The main thing I wanted to do here is show every play. 

 

2nd Series-

Sark trots out the 12 personnel. 

In a perfect world you would want to execute your entire playbook from the same personnel grouping. No defense would know what was coming. You could do everything from heavy run packages to 5 wide looks. I think Sark sits up at night jerking off to NFL clips of teams that can do that. That said your TEs need to be able to do three things. Block. Catch. Run. Last year we would run 12 with Juan Davis as the second TE. Just a body out there taking up space and pulls a would be receiver off the field. Until we have TWO tight ends that can both run, block, and catch I am not a fan of 12 personnel. But that's just me. 

 

1) 1st and 10. We come out in 12 personnel with two receives to the boundary and both tight ends motion tight to the formation field side. Georgia counters with zone and 8 men in the box. We fake a zone run with Baxter and instead hand it to Wingo on a Jet sweep. In my OPINION, this is a terrible play for this set. Georgia is not a team to run sideways on in general, especially with an 8 man box. They are fast sideline to sideline and the more men you invite around the LOS the lower percentage chance of success. By the time Wingo clears the tackle box there are 4 Georgia defenders there vs just two blockers. Wingo runs right into the waiting arms of the force player and gets Jelani McDonald'ed, except with no flag because Georgia. 

 

 

 

 

 

2) 2nd and 8. We fake the toss to Baxter with Washington as a lead blocker and try to get Wingo on a 9 route up the sideline. Georgia doesn't bit at all so Arch comes back to Baxter who is in the flat still with Washington out front. Washington gets a little piece of the DB coming downhill, which springs Baxter for a solid 7 yard gain. Good play design and use of everyone's skillsets. 

 

 

 

 

 

3) 3rd and 2. This is a play where I criticize Sark. Some will say player execution, but you have to know who you are playing against and their tendencies. We are in 12 personnel, still, and going to attempt to run either play action or RPO. It's hard to tell because it's blown up so fast. Georgia has shown you in these situations that their edge guy is not going to pick or choose. He is simply going to fire straight at the mesh point and force you to do something quick. Then they will clean it up on the back end. We run the play like it's San Jose State, and the DE is going to freeze, which gives Campbell time to get there on the kickout block. A slow developing play on short yardage, blown up because we forgot who we were playing against. Punt. 

 

 

 

On to the 3rd series.
