re: Alabama vs UGA Prediction Thread

Georgia 28 Bama 17. I think without consistent QB play we struggle. Georgia appears to be a complete team

UGA 20
Bama 10

bama plays their best game to date
beware of bo!
30-21

frick it, I'm saying we pull off the upset. We run Henry down their throats, control TOP, Mullaney makes plays, and Ragland helps contain Chubb. Alabama-24 Georgia 17

This defense is still angry about the ole miss game

Expect them to show that fire again this week

I think they brick wall Chubb and force Lambert to win it through the air. Georgia has good receivers but they don't have a Treadwell or Evans out there

This game to me comes down to QB and O line play, and of course, play calling

Get these 3 things right (which we can), then we win

I want to see a heavy dose of BoScar and Henry

Then when they're gassed late in the 3rd/4th hit em with Kenyan's speed

Hoping Kiffin gains some IQ points and goes power run/playaction pass. Coker on some naked bootlegs could be legit.

Bama 31
Georgia 21

Lot of optimism in here. I just don't see it.

27-24 UGA

And I don't see the where there's justification for the negative.

Bama's played a much more difficult first 4 games than UGA. Aside from Ole Miss, Wisky's given up a total of 3 points in the 3 games since Bama played them and Middle Tennessee missed a 43 yard field goal that would have beaten Illinois this weekend.

Georgia's biggest challenge to date?

A road game Vanderbilt.

In terms of total offense the statistically best offense (based on total offense) UGA's faced is - get ready for it - Vanderbilt, which checks in at 53. Putting aside the common opponent of ULM, the WORST offense Bama's faced is Wisconsin @ 57. OM is 8th and MTSU is 25th.

For all the (somewhat understandable) wailing and gnashing of teeth that's been going on here over Bama's offense, the fact is that they're averaging 35 points a game and currently sit 29th in the total offense standings. Alabama will be the best offense Georgia's faced thus far by a very wide margin.

None of this is to imply Georgia's not a good team, I think they're very good but everyone's acting like they're world beaters when the fact is that they haven't been tested. The 4 teams they've faced thus far have a combined 3 wins against FBS opponents whereas Bama's faced 2 ranked opponents and what looks like a pretty good mid-major. Against those teams and ULM, Bama's given up rushing totals of 92, 88, 40, and 9 yards.

In a nutshell, everyone needs to put their danged big girl panties on. The offense hasn't quite jelled yet, but it danged sure isn't Auburn either, the overall defense is playing well, and the run defense is playing at a championship level.

If Bama can avoid a repeat of the OM turnover fiasco, not only CAN they win, they SHOULD win. I think they'll get it done. Bama 28 UGA 16.

Seriously. Some people are defeated after a 6 point loss that included 5 turnovers...2 on fricking kickoffs!!

Georgia has seen nothing like this defense. Meanwhile we've actually played teams with a pulse. We put up 500 yards and 37 points on a really good defense.

We're affecting the QB 37% of the time. 37 PERCENT!! Their QB is not a runner, so we should be able to pop the dude plenty.

We need to watch out for the damn RPO's to Michel and Mitchell. If we jump one of those routes that could be an easy defensive 6.

Seriously people we're still ranked 1st in the F/+ which is far and away the best ranking system at the moment. Chill out

I didn't say we're guaranteed to win, I just meant there's no need to go about sh!ttin our britches like yourself
