Got to create some turnovers and obviously play lights out on offense

I checked in this morning, I’m told all the injuries are not serious. Happy about that. JAD just isn’t ready and that’s ok, Jackson is a freaking dude.

They just said not serious, so maybe a few days off and back at it. My ear is to the ground on this one.

Bennett is a solid QB. However, the lights get a little bright for him when he and the UGA offense are forced into a shootout.

Kirby may not need to change much to get pressure this time and I disagree about Metchie - Brooks did fine, but Metchie is a big loss and we can't pretend it won't have some impact on our offensive output.

I'm hoping the defense is ready to play, can't expect the same offensive output this go around IMO.

He is a loss, and I think Brooks will be just fine.

When his RB's aren't getting their usual 5ypc he looks a lot different. If Bowers can be even 25% less productive for them than last time, Bennett's lack of a security blanket may make it a long night.

Surely Georgia is going to try to bring more pressure than last time. Can our line handle it? We didn’t look great in pass protection yesterday.

B Rob is healthier now than he was for the SECCG it appears. Running the ball will still be hard to do, but him being healthier still helps.

Defensively, I think you try to force Bennett to beat you like we did last time. Make him have to make the throws and carry the offensive.

It seems like any in-game rotation on the line throws them off a little bit. Hopefully a week of knowing who's going to play and no change-up or injuries vs Georgia will help.

Hopefully the UGA kickoff guy will kick the ball into the endzone so we can't run it out to the 15 yardline.

Bama should allow every kickoff to go into the endzone at take that 25 yardline starting point.

Our kickoff guy needs to stick with kicking to the left side of the endzone instead of the right. Cincy almost broke one yesterday.

I think that our oline has more trouble blocking smaller, faster d lines. I think UGA's d line/front 7 is a good matchup for our oline, as was evident in the SECCG.

They also didn’t blitz much at all in the first half and little bit of the 2nd. All three of Young’s TD passes only had 4 rushers. When they started blitzing they had more success.

Georgia's front seven is excellent but they are without their two best pass rushers from last year. Adam Anderson and Aziz Ojulari. Both are awesome players. They're blitzing Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker to bring pressure. Michigan was overwhelmed from the get go. Hopefully our offensive line is ready for the challenge yet again.

I seem to recall them blitzing a decent amount and us stonewalling them. Idk maybe I'm wrong.

B Rob had some great blitz pick ups to give Bryce time.

You are correct, they blitzed a lot against us. We were just picking it up all game

Kirby has been working on that game tape sense the end of the sec cg. He’s had plenty of time to make corrections. Hope fully Bama coaches adjust some things to disguise what we’re doing.
