re: Why do so many of Bama fans assume Kirby will shut down Tennesee's offense?

They won't shut it down, but UGA is as good as Bama in terms of talent.

They have a 12th year senior running a well managed offense and a stout defense to couple that offense

Bama played horribly at UTk, and it was still their game to lose at the end, which they did.

Uga at home walks away with a W vs UTk. I'm not sure it will be very close after 4 qtrs.

It's Bama vs Dawgs in ATL again unless disaster strikes the Tide over their next 2 games.
