re: How does Georgia and Bama match up against each other ?

UGA's kind of hard to nail down to me. When I looked at the stats last week I agreed with the line being 4-5.5. They appear to play up and down to competition as opposed to the sheer domination the media likes to project. That either means they truly are inconsistent or they're so good they can sleepwalk through games. Only consistent thing about UGA is wins. That being said, they haven't seen a defense like Alabama's all year unless you want to count Ball State's which statistically is closest to Bama's.

The question is, was the Auburn game a temporary return to poor form for Bama? If we break out the LSU gameplan on offense and play solid d Bama will win. I think we have to establish the run by any means. Anything else and Bama can still win but it'll be sphincter time.

Personally, I think we've haulted the LSU play calls to minimize film. I think we pull out all of the stops here.
If we're talking about the playoffs, Bama has to steamroll UGA and force their way into it. I think this is the mindset. Hope I'm right.

Fingers crossed

it’d be poetic justice to beat georgia without one or two of their top receivers. ill take it.

UGA has two weak points on defense that I have seen based on watching a little of the GA Tech game. Law (19) or Niblack (84) can be used to hammer those weak spots. The weak spot is in the middle of the triangle Star/MLB/Safety.

#1 Pass coverage weak spot - Ball on right hash. 2 WR wide spit to left. 1 WR split right.
Version #1 - QB shotgun, RB on his right, Law (19) on his left. Play action to RB outside zone right. Law (19) runs at the SAM OLB to the left like he is going to block. Slip past the SAM to the middle of the triangle. 8 yard pass with room to run.
Version #2 - QB shotgun, RB on his left or pistol, HB (84) tight on right. Late HB motion. Inside zone play action to RB. Niblack looks like he is going to kick-out the SAM OLB, then slip past him to the middle of the triangle. 8 yard pass with room to run.

#2 run weak spot - Trips right TE left, QB shotgun, RB pistol. Law (19) inside slot tight right.TE outside release, RB lead block wide to left, Law (19) cross in front of QB read option to follow RB. QB fake/read to Law then run behind the LT/LG. 5 yard crease and cut on the safety.

Both plays should be big hit plays.

I just hope we have made adjustments to the eye candy that AU threw at us with TE/Hbacks crossing in the backfield with potential blocks that made our LBs play slow and get out of position. Beck is not the runner Thorne is but still…

UGA was not getting shoved around. GT and AU were creating LB flow and hitting the backside edge of the flow. The MLB's were slow in recovery. It just takes one or two hard steps by the MLB's to generate a crease.

Bama is a big play team. UGA should outplay Bama on a play by play basis.

Bama will have to cash in on a few big plays to win this one. That's my opinion.

The UGA safeties look to be really good. I doubt we will hit a deep post on them as easily as we have on others. The Star and the young CB on our left side look to be their weakest DB's but the CB is improving. MLB's look to be run heavy but not great at pass coverage.

The 3 pass plays take the Safeties out of early coverage and key on the slower Star and slow reaction MLB's.
