7. Special Teams: A+

You never want your special teams to be your best graded unit. However, it was truly a special day for the special teams. Alex Raynor accounted for all of the offensive points (12) as he went 4/4 and had a long of 55 yards. The other amazing thing about this special teams unit is Georgia never returned a punt and never returned a kick. Not one single return was accounted for, it was always either a touchback or a fair catch. That's pretty impressive.

8. Coaching: B-

Some of you will think this is way too high and others of you will think this is way too low and that's how I know I nailed it. The reason I don't want to go lower than this; they were embarrassed by South Carolina, out-coached, out played, and just overwhelmed. The coaching staff had a plan for this game to not let that happen again. They had a plan to limit the #1 team in the nation and keep Kentucky in firing distance to get the Win. The reason I can't go higher than B- is because at a certain point, they should have actually tried to win and not simply tried not to lose. On 4th and 2 in the 3rd quarter - go for it. On 4th and 8, down 1 with only 3 minutes left in no man's land on the field, go for it. Give your team a chance to win.
