AFD, IMHO, Ethinger was the force of Texas. He was there when needed, tough to ring down (UGA forgot how to tackle), played with poise, did not force throws, ran wild when needed, and was the lider of the team. I know that CKS didn't play Field because he is leaving and didn't want to look bad in case Fields resurrected UGA. But, I believe that was the classical time to play a double threat QB a-la-Texas and we were let down again.
The D played its heart out and Kudos to it, but the O....may as well stayed in Athens.
