It was a blast to play. So far with the new sliders its definitely been a challenge I've been lacking lately, even in the win over Texas they had me pressed for a while.

Velasco is a stud. I wish he wasn't a senior, but 99 speed and 92 trucking is crazy lol. Gaskin is solid as well, but I was using him mainly to keep Velasco from getting worn down and trying to avoid the dreaded Week 14 RB Injury lol

Recruiting wise has been more of a challenge with all of the local guys being on SEC radar as well. And the top QB prospect locked me out for a bit because my playstyle dipped too low for a passing QB, but that's back up now thankfully. Still looking at losing the 2nd 5* safety to Vanderbilt and the top CB on my board to Tulane, so I'm not running away with any recruits.

So far I'm loving the added challenge of not putting any points into recruiting aside from the insta commit perk. At the end of my USC dynasty any recruit I wanted I could basically get, but I've lost out on key guys at every stop so far at least a few times so it makes it more of a challenge.

Great recruiting haul there, resembling the early 2020s Kirby Defense. Hopefully the Dawgs can keep it up on the field

Thanks man! That's the plan, I feel I'm better at offense than defense, so loading up on the defensive side first is always what I shoot for then focus on getting the toys for the offense. Get a couple of solid pass rushers then just harass QBs is the hope!

LEFT - Titus Tobin's 1st pass was intercepted by the Cardinals as the senior QB committed 4 (3 INT, fumble) 1st half turnovers leading to 17 Louisville points.
CENTER - Melvin Miles putting three Cardinals in the spin cycle on a 61 yard TD in the 1st Q.
RIGHT - Stephen Terry's explosive 1st half cooled off considerably in the 2nd quarter. Terry finished the 1st half 23/31 with 303 yards and three touchdowns, but only completed 14/24 for 131 yards, 1 TD and 2 INT in the 2nd half.

Athens, GA. - Georgia overcame a disastrous first half to storm back in the second, defeating Louisville 56-37 to remain undefeated on the season. The Bulldogs (6-0) struggled early as quarterback Titus Tobin threw an interception on his first pass, setting up a 13-yard Louisville touchdown. Tobin’s turnover woes continued with three first-half interceptions and a fumble, directly leading to 17 Louisville points. Despite the miscues, Georgia’s explosive passing game kept them within striking distance, as Tobin connected on long touchdown strikes to Melvin Miles and Jon Amerson. However, Louisville’s Stephen Terry was sharp early, tossing three first-half touchdowns while Imani Muamba drilled three field goals, including a 52-yarder, to give the Cardinals a 30-21 halftime lead.

The second half belonged entirely to Georgia. The Bulldogs’ defense forced a three-and-out on Louisville’s opening drive, and Tobin quickly capitalized by finding Miles for their second touchdown connection. Moments later, linebacker Ronnie Fritz intercepted a tipped pass and returned it 44 yards for a score, giving Georgia a lead they would not relinquish. Tobin added a rushing touchdown and another passing score to Chuck Housler, while Louisville briefly responded with a deep 44-yard strike to Ja’Mario Hurst. By the end of the third quarter, Georgia had outscored Louisville 28-7 in the frame, flipping the game into a 49-37 advantage. A final touchdown pass to Dom Short in the fourth quarter sealed the victory.

Tobin finished the game with seven total touchdowns—six through the air and one on the ground—while overcoming his early struggles. His second-half performance (5/8, 75 yards, 3 TDs) was mistake-free after an erratic first half. The Bulldogs also leaned more on their rushing attack after halftime, racking up 210 yards on the ground. Daniel Velasco led the charge with 195 total rushing yards, while Tobin chipped in 68 of his own.

On the other side, Terry’s hot start (23/31, 303 yards, 3 TDs) cooled in the second half as he completed just 14/24 passes for 131 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Louisville’s offense struggled to sustain drives, and costly turnovers, including a fumble by freshman Larry Vaughns, set up key Georgia scores.

Head coach Nash Savage acknowledged the Bulldogs’ shift in offensive approach. “We got carried away in the passing game, no doubt about it,” he said postgame. “When you start hitting big plays, it’s sometimes hard to reign it back in. But I think you saw a much more balanced approach after the half.”

The win keeps Georgia perfect at 6-0 and, more importantly, moves them to 3-0 in SEC play after a dreadful 1-7 conference record last season. The Bulldogs jumped from No. 25 to No. 16 in the rankings following the victory. However, they took a hit in recruiting as five-star defensive backs DeAndre Watkins and Joel Egboh committed elsewhere, choosing Tulane and Vanderbilt, respectively.

Next up, Georgia travels to face Alabama, which fell out of the rankings after a 35-30 loss to Kentucky. Meanwhile, in the Big 12, Ball State continued its strong start under head coach Kadin Semonza, routing Oklahoma State 38-7 behind another stellar performance from senior quarterback Taylor Beckner, who tossed five touchdown passes.

Turnovers Doom Bulldogs In Tuscaloosa


Freshman MLB Sam Taliaferro making the play of his career so far, interception Georgia QB Titus Tobin late in the 4th quarter as the Bulldogs were driving for what would have been a game tying touchdown. Instead, Alabama marched down the field and iced the game with Chase Johanssen's 3rd TD.

LEFT - Daniel Velasco punished the Alabama defense in the 1st half with 95 yards and a touchdown, but was held to just 24 yards on 8 carries in the 2nd half as Georgia struggled to sustain drives.
CENTER - Georgia's Velasco may be leading the nation in rushing, but Bama HB Vai Fujita outshined the Bulldogs star with 145 rushing yards, on only 14 carries, and this 80 yard TD run after losing the DB in the spin cycle.
RIGHT - Two 1st half INTs kept the Bama offense from pulling away in an explosive 1st quarter, by Chase Johanssen would settle down without a turnover in the 2nd half.

Tuscaloosa, AL. - No. 16 Georgia suffered its first loss of the season Saturday night, falling to Alabama 42-28 in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide rebounded from back-to-back losses in convincing fashion, using explosive plays and a late defensive stand to secure the victory over the previously unbeaten Bulldogs.

Alabama wasted no time making a statement, scoring touchdowns of 85 and 80 yards on its first two possessions. Georgia responded with a two-yard rushing touchdown from Daniel Velasco and a 23-yard scramble by quarterback Titus Tobin to tie the game at 14 after one quarter. However, Tobin struggled in the second frame, throwing back-to-back interceptions. Georgia’s defense limited the damage, holding Alabama to a pair of 55-yard field goals by Pat Haas, but the Tide still built a 27-14 lead. Tobin rebounded with a 75-yard touchdown pass to Chuck Housler, cutting the deficit to six. A late first-half interception by Alabama quarterback Chase Johanssen gave Georgia a chance to take the lead before the break, but the Bulldogs failed to capitalize and entered halftime trailing 27-21.

The third quarter saw Alabama extend its lead as Pat Henderson punched in a five-yard rushing touchdown, followed by a successful two-point conversion. Georgia answered with a 41-yard touchdown pass from Tobin to Jon Amerson, keeping the game within reach at 35-28 heading into the final quarter.

With under five minutes to play, Georgia appeared poised to tie the game, driving deep into Alabama territory. But Tobin’s attempt to squeeze a pass over the middle was intercepted by freshman linebacker Sam Taliaferro. Alabama marched down the field on the ensuing possession, sealing the victory with a 16-yard touchdown pass from Johanssen to Amir Momah—his third touchdown grab of the game.

Tobin showcased his dual-threat ability, throwing for 313 yards and two touchdowns while adding 110 yards and a rushing score on the ground. However, his three interceptions proved costly, continuing a troubling trend for the senior quarterback, who now has 12 on the season, including six in the last two games.

“You don’t overcome three interceptions very often,” Georgia head coach Nash Savage admitted after the game. “We were able to do it last week against Louisville, but you press that luck too much, and it bites you. If we hold onto the ball at the end, I firmly believe this is a different outcome.”

The loss also had recruiting ramifications for Georgia. Four-star wide receiver Jawara Swoope, a Georgia native, committed to Alabama over the weekend after attending the game, while four-star guard Junior Jeffrey, another in-state prospect, pledged to Ohio State.

The Bulldogs (5-1) return home next week to face SEC East rival Tennessee, looking to bounce back and keep their conference championship hopes alive. Meanwhile, in the Big 12, Ball State continued its strong season with a gritty 25-20 road win over Nebraska, securing the victory with a fourth-down defensive stop in the final minutes.
