lolno.

Don't let their escape win against an average/below average UGA team fool you. UT isn't very good, alabama is very good. Alabama will win by double digits EASILY.

And for those claiming this is just sour grapes...I've already acknowledged that my team isn't any good. Sooo...yeah. I know.

Alabama is above-average at best, and running quarterbacks are their kryptonite.

That same Bama team lost to a terrible Ole Miss team, and trailed against Arkansas late in that game. They're not very good.

Yeah, but UGA will be back soon. Especially after Eason gets into the program for a bit.

The Bama game was Dobbs' coming out party last year.

He didn't start the game, but came in after Bama had blown it wide open and ended up playing pretty effectively - particularly with his running ability.

Saban said after the game that they'd spent 0 time practicing for his skill set because he hadn't played all year.

Thanks for the response. Didn't watch the game last year.

Selfishly hoping tena-c wins

It does sound crazy now, but at the time he literally hadn't taken a snap all year and Jones was talking about redshirting him.

I am aware. If Saban actually said that then it's pretty silly. Josh Dobbs doesn't have some unique skill set that has never been seen. I'm not sure what exactly they would prepare for that they hadnt seen before.

Everyone knew Dobbs was going to play against Alabama last year. I don't buy that shite for a second.

The one thing Tennessee has the advantage in will be fresher legs. This is our 4th SEC game in a row, with 2 of those on the road. The last 2 were pretty physical games, as well. While Tennessee is coming off a bye week, 2 weeks after a big win over UGA.

Hopefully Kelly will be cleared to play at C, and Drake's thigh bruise isn't bad enough to limit him. I think we can run at will on this UT team.

He did, and he played fairly well. He was no Manziel but he gave our offense a pulse, which we weren't expecting to have vs Bama. I believe we gained about 350 yards of offense in that game. We also out scored them 20-7 after an abortion of a start. We came back from 27-0 to 27-17 and I swear most of us in that stadium actually thought we would win for about 5 minutes. Unfortunately Bama converted like 3 third downs to score a much needed TD to push it back to 17.

I am hoping for just the opposite. I want to see as little of Drake as possible. Dude has been a drive killer all year and has played badly most of the time he has been in there.
