Georgia’s chance to win after every play.

How to read this chart

Starts from the pregame line (Georgia -11.5), at 79% for Georgia (the play-by-play feed's kickoff number, moved to match the line; our model's and the betting line's own numbers are in “The betting line, and the fans”). Dots are the biggest swings; ticks under the chart are scores. Outlined diamonds mark rare plays. Under the scores, r/CFB comments per minute from fans with a Georgia or Oklahoma flair (3,169 and 2,577); both sides share one scale, regulation only. A gold diamond marks a play fans were reacting to.

Watch the plays

The bar and the arrow show Georgia’s chance to win after each play; the logo is the team the play helped.

Every drive

Georgia scored on 6 of its 14 drives; Oklahoma on 2 of its 15.

Georgia’s drives are teal, Oklahoma’s amber. A line runs from where a drive started to where it ended; a filled dot means it scored.

“That’s the funniest thing that could have happened in that situation without a comically large hammer”

When fans got loud

Busy

Fans were loudest in the second quarter.

Jump to the loudest stretch

The jump was busy; the crowd was roaring.

Two crowds, one game

The words each side’s fans used far more than the other side, from the game thread.

Georgia fans

kirby“I wish I was in the locker room right now to hear how Kirby is somehow spinning this as a negative in order to hype up the team.”

refs“Do these refs just feel bad for OU? That’s two PFs in a row not called.”

screen“Do not fear the team who has practiced 10,000 plays 1 time but the team who has practiced 1 play (the screen pass) 10,000 times”

Oklahoma fans

arbuckle“Sad thing is Arbuckle is going to fall on the sword and he’s actually called a decent game”

fire“If this OC doesn't redeem himself by the end of this game, Fire him.. If BV dont do that.. Fire him”

fired“Go ahead and run it up. Maybe if we’re humiliated just enough someone will be fired.”

staff“Maybe getting shut out will finally get everyone on this offensive staff fired”

Both sets of fans kept coming back to: now, ball, back, don.

Home field

Georgia is worth +3.6 points (±3.7) more at home than on the road since 2018 — middle of FBS, 40th percentile.

93% at home, 88% on the road against FBS opponents (43-3 home, 30-4 away).

Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge (why); the books use about 3. Against the closing line this stadium reads -2.2 at home vs. away over 88 games — inside the ±5.8 noise, so the flat number is the honest one here.

The visitors travel about 804 miles to get here.
