Differences between OU and Bama that will doom UGA

OU has a better passing game but Jalen runs better than Baker.
Bama has linebackers that can get off blocks. OU does not.
Bama has linebackers that can tackle. OU does not.
Bama has linebackers that follow reads and get to where they're supposed to be. OU does not.
All of Bama's secondary is better than OU's at everything football.
Bama has a DL that is tough to block. OU does not.
Bama has an OL that is designed for run blocking, OU's is designed for pass blocking.
Bama has a great punter. OU's punter is awful.
Bama can execute the squib kick. OU cannot.
After what UGA did yesterday, I'm a believer in Kirby. Scott Frost should probably get COTY for G5 and Kirby for P5. Mullen, Pruitt, and Muschamp are going to have a tough time getting to Atlanta as long as Kirby is around. He's going to raise the level of play in the East for sure.
But, I think the differences above will swing this in favor of Bama. UGA has a great running game, but that's in Bama's wheelhouse.
After the idiots at Michigan decide to give Harbaugh a lifetime contract for an ungodly amount of money, I expect Saban to put his 85 rings in a sock and bludgeon the Bama administration into giving him a 5yr extension at $10mill per year. And for the level of excellence he's acheived, and the money that flows into that program (even after accounting for the Dodge Challengers that flow out of the program), Saban would be worth it.

Short answer. Bama's D is a lot better than OU's. UGA also plays good D, OU is just very good offensively. Should be a good game but a lot less scoring than in the Rose Bowl.

We certainly have a better defense than OU, butOU has a better offense. UGA's defense will likely give us problems too.

Easy prediction. UGA won't be able to run and will not be able to protect the QB when its one dimensional. Combine that with a D that just gave up 531 to OU and its a cake walk Bama title.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want this to happen, but just don't see it going any other way.

So UGA has no chance. Got it.

We’ve heard this shite all year....
Posted on 1/2/18 at 12:40 pm to starsandstripes
it will be a low scoring affair...the two defenses are very similar and it will be hard for both offenses to produce...BUT...I think the Bama offense is less potent than UGA's and I think that will be the deciding factor...UGA wins late by 1 score.

Alabama will have to manufacture points with field position and turnovers. Kirby will load the box and force Hurts to throw. As calm as Hurts' demeanor is, the game still hasn't slowed down for him. Should be a close, hard-hitting game. Looking forward to it.

Baker is basically A Stiffler version of Tim Tebow.
Bama doesn't have anyone close to that. Also Bama's offense looked pretty meh the entire game. Their defense playing lights out is why they won

Looks to be a pretty good matchup, overall. They both have great defenses that will be tested by great RB corps. While Bama's run D under Saban is superb, it's been a while since they faced a pair of backs like Chubb/Michel, top-level runners who are both given significant duties (Guice/Fournette doesn't qualify for that second part.) But Bama excels at putting on the pressure up front and they're apparently almost healthy in the backfield now, so Fromm just might cost UGA the win if the running game doesn't get into a rhythm quickly.
Honestly, I think that if you removed the names from all the teams involved to eliminate preexisting biases and opinions, most people would be looking forward to this match-up.

Fromm can't pass. Tell Nick to put 9 in the box. That worked for AU and OU.

ain't much difference between Georgia and Alabama. Both want to run ball, stop the run, play D, and win the kicking game.
In other words, it's gonna be a real football game. None of this hully-gully throw it all over the place. Just big boy line knock heads and see who's the tougher team.

Maybe. I expect we need a few Turnovers and some special teams magic to win this, but I’ve seen that kinda thing before so..

These teams that UGA beats are world-beaters until UGA beats them. Then, they are flawed phonies.
Got it.
All I can say is that Bama's defense better shut us down, because that offense is a shite show.

Expect it to be similar to the old Bama vs LSU games.

UGA isn't going to need 54 points to beat Bama. With Bama's offense, UGA might only need 14 to win.
