I think some people will be shocked to watch Georgia line up and run right at us successfully, especially in the second half. Teams have had more success running down our throats with power than we care to admit, they just don't make a living doing it. Georgia has no problem doing it until we stop it and they will. Then they will run play action and hit a wide open Bowers for an explosive play.

I think the stats, regular and advanced, show that we're actually better at stopping the power run than people care to admit. Georgia's run game vs our run defense is our biggest advantage in this football game.
I don't think Georgia is going to have any success running the ball guard to guard until they possibly wear us down if the offensive can't stay on the field.
Georgia Offense
#24 Offensive Line Yards (rush yards attributed to OL)
#36 Offensive Stuff Rate (% of runs stopped at LOS or TFL)
#81 Offensive Power Success Rate (success rate on power runs)
Alabama Defense
#2 Defensive Line Yards (rush yards attributed to OL)
#2 Defensive Stuff Rate (% of runs stopped at LOS or TFL)
#12 Defensive Power Success Rate (success rate on power runs)

George, I usually agree with your analytics but I think the numbers are lying to you this time or at least deceiving you. I've seen with my own two eyes how teams with good run games can run right at our LB's and get 4-5 yards a pop. They just don't stay with it. UGA will.
ETA: I hope I'm wrong and you are right.

Like who? The only team that ran on us was Florida, and that was 2 months ago and with a QB run/option scheme.
- Miami RBs - 19 carries, 60 yards, 3.2 YPA
- Ole Miss' RBs - 24 carries, 75 yards, 3.1 YPA
- Texas A&M RBs - 25 carries, 82 yards, 3.3 YA
- Tennessee RBs - 14 carries, 38 yards, 2.7 YPA
- LSU RBs - 31 carries, 119 yards, 3.8 YPA (37 of them on 1 run)
- Arkansas RBs - 26 carries, 91 yards, 3.5 YPA
- Auburn RBs - 32 carries, 61 yards, 1.9 YPA
I'm just not sure what else this unit can do to prove to folks they are elite against the run. They're holding to teams to almost half their rush YPA averages.

Nope. We will get curb stomped Saturday.
