I think all the pressure is on Georgia. Long winning streak, chance for 3 peat, Kirby vs Saban, etc.
If we come out playing loose and having fun they can be had. Need to play error free and to Bama potential.

Once would be a fluke. I think it's indicative of his mindset that he is a pocket passer and not a dual threat.

UGA has not faced an offense as good as Bama's. The closest would be Mizzou but their QB isn't the threat that Milroe is.



Georgia did a pretty good job against Ole Miss's offense, but so did Bama. I do think I remember Ole Miss having a few of their weapons out for the Bama game though.

The answer is simple we can beat them. They can beat us. They are susceptible to things this year that teams before weren’t. It’s our chance.

The one where he knew he crossed the line and then stepped backwards is the most concerning. I don't know what in the hell he was thinking at that point.

Ole Miss had some injuries when they played Georgia, too. Remember that Ole Miss had a lot of trouble beating a bad MSU team last week.

We need to quit making things simple and expect players to take responsibility, Never seemed to be a problem in the past. Quarterback awareness is the solution.

Yes you do and it's why you and many of us are concerned.

The down-marker was right in front of him and what reminded him of passing the LOS. He thought, he could go backward. Maybe no one has ever told him and I sincerely don't thing he'll make that mistake again.

My gripe is, unless someone is in your grill when you approach the LOS, he should commit to the run and hit it hard. Dancing around it isn't helping the team... offense linemen will naturally flow downfield, risking a penalty... JUST RUN.

I still wonder how we boat raced them in the 2021 SEC game.
I guess they just did not show up. The rematch for the championship was won by Georgia because they had a lot more top quality players. I know we some critical injuries, but I really don't think that cost us the game. The last quarter and one half of that game showed they had more quality players across the board than we did. I think they had 17 or 18 players drafted to our 7. Am I correct on those numbers? That is not the situation this week. We should hold our own on both sides of the ball in this game.

I don't know but just from a recruiting standpoint... stars and all that, there is more talent on the Bama team than Georgia or any other team in the country.

Now maybe they are doing a better job of developing them because our staff is so unsettled.

The problem with your analysis is that when you have a qb like Brice, losing your recievers are everything. In game one, they could not cover them. In game two, they didn't have to.

Georgia is a very tough, talented, smart team. IMO, we are a very raw, sometimes undisciplined, mistake prone, sometimes dumb team. But from a raw talent standpoint, I think we have them. Our linemen are NFL linemen and that secondary is going to play on Sundays. And I believe ultimately, Milroe and several of our recieves will as well.

Our coaching staff turnover has killed us in so many ways. I just can't wait for it to happen to Kirby.

I tell you what. I watched both Kirby Smarts pressers this week. He said some things that was pretty much hey guys don't be surprised if these guys hang some points on us. If Jalen protects the ball Alabama can win this game.

This is important. Usually it’s us.

We just need to be ourselves.

Our QB tried to make a forward pass, across the line of scrimmage, TWICE against Auburn

To be fair, he demonstrated learning on these two plays. The first time he crossed the LOS and threw it. The second time he crossed the LOS, stepped back behind it, and then threw it.

I mean, down to a 3rd string CB opposite Kool-Aid, literally one healthy RB, and then your future first round WR goes out. Hard to say it wasn't a huge factor in a close game.

Wow. Just wow.

Anyway... yes. I think BAMA rolls.

I am glad you guys responded to my post and pointed out the folly of my ways in some respects. I just cannot get pass thinking Georgia was a better team than us in 2021. Reading all the opinions on this game I think we will win. I agree with most of the things being said.

Alabama was behind 10-0 in the first quarter and then Bryce just started throwing the ball because we had nothing to lose.
