The Official Georgia-Clemson PreGame Thread

In

I've seen this so many times from the Taters. They will talk a mighty game about their unstoppable offense and their vastly improving defense, then truth/the game will happen.

After the taters lose they will say things like, "we beat ourselves, Chad didn't let Boyd loose, if we would've run/pass (whichever one they did less of) more we wouldn't won. Georgia's not that great, we just weren't our best. If this game was played later in the year, we would've beat them. Our best players were playing hurt or not at all on defense. blah blah, yada yaha, tater tate ate."

Dawgs win....

Having watched a lot of college football over the years I am afraid that our offense may prove less efficient than we would like and our defense may prove to be better than expected. I hope I am wrong about the offense but I have seen us go 3 and out so often over the years and not be able t pound the ball late in the game that I am doubtful. I hope I am right about the defense and there is some practical evidence that this defense, not loaded with NFL talent right now may be better than we were last year. That's my take 2 weeks out....

Looking at some stats.


In 2012, Murray averaged 10.1 yards per attempt. Not per completion, per attempt.

9% of his attempts are touchdowns.



Todd Gurley averaged 6.4 yards per carry on 1st and ten.

7.7% of Gurley's carries resulted in a touchdown.
