Goats of the Game -
Georgia
3) SEC Officiating Crew.
In no way were to blame for the Irish loss, however they were just bad
overall. Bad officiating on both sides.
2) Brandon WImbush.
He kept the ball too many time instead of handing it off to the running
backs and threw to many bad passes.
1) Brian Kelly. More
specifically the offensive play calling.

The Good, the Bad
& the Ugly - Georgia
The Good. The Defense.
If you told me after last week's win over Temple that we were going to
hold Georgia to 20 points I would have guaranteed a win for the Irish. This year's defense seems to play "bend
don't break", unfortunately they broke a couple of times on Saturday. Overall it was the defense that kept Notre
Dame in the game.
The Bad. The Offense.
Half to the play calls and half
to the execution. Holes for the rushing
game were apparently non-existent and we Wimbush could not connect with his
receivers. This was especially bad
compared to their great performance against Temple.
The Ugly. The end of Brian Kelly's post game press
conference. https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/9/10/16282846/brian-kelly-notre-dame-georgia-press-conference-2017
