re: So, how are we feeling about the Big Game tonight?

I keep thinking Bama won't be as fired up as needed.

The which team is more “fired up” or “wants it more” arguments are overrated. Nobody wants to lose. Especially in a setting like a NCG.

Seeing how a team adapts in game and reacts to pressure is more important.


The thing I’m worried about is Bama played a great game last time. Young made some perfect throws. Asking that to happen for the 2nd time in 3 games is going to be tough. Georgia is good enough of a team that few things finally going their way in these matchups can lead to a win. Literally one or two plays can be the difference between a 3 point loss and a 10 point win. So it’s hard to predict what’s really going to happen.

Why would the team not be fired up for a national championship game ?

Why weren't they up for Auburn until the 58 minute mark?
Maybe "fired up" isn't the perfect phrase, but maybe it's a bit of overconfidence.

Overconfident ? Really ? They're underdogs in Vegas. Plus the narrative that the media keeps pushing about UGA not being motivated in the first game.

How do I feel…well, I feel since we are here, we might as well win the MF’er!!!
They all think the SEC championship game was a fluke, I say tomorrow night………
“LEAVE NO DOUBT”

I'm fine with it either way, outside of getting blown out completely.

If anything I want Georgia to lose more than I want us to win. Denying their best team since 1980 a championship would be hilarious, and would help us in recruiting. But we're playing with house money ey really. This is as close to a rebuilding year as we've had. We weren't supposed to be here. Next year is a different story, but this a freebie.

I think if they blitz hard they have a good shot, but there is no way that Saban hasn't spent the last 5 weeks making sure that our biggest disadvantage, which happens to be the thing that Georgia did not play into, isn't handled in some way.

It sucks that we're so banged up, but we get B Rob healthy this time around and that could be huge for us.

I expect us to handle our emotions, but Georgia is in a different place. Their loss to us very well could have given them the reality check that we needed (and got) when we lost to A&M. If it didn't though and they aren't in the right place it's gonna be a slaughter in our favor.

A comfortable, low-stress beatdown would be just as enjoyable as a last second TD pass or walk-off FG. Crushing Georgia's dreams from start to finish sounds like the way to go, though.

Nervous as hell… but I am that way for nearly every game

Let’s Roll!

Only other emotion is pissed off bc it is on a Monday night

^^Same.
Bowlcuts blitzing heavy is my main concern. Potential big plays to be made but also plenty of 2nd/3rd and longs expected. Sun ain’t even up, 13+ hours till kickoff and already need beer

I can’t think about it. Whatever happens happens. I have an idea but then I have no idea.

I think Williams is going to be used like P Harvin. Get him the ball in multiple looks including in the backfield. I expect him to have a big night tomorrow.

I think they way they used him against Cincy was a test run for some looks hes going to get tonight. Quick outs, curls, etc. where we can dump it off to him when UGA blitzes. He can house anything, just get it in his hands and let him try to make someone miss.

That said, I do hope we don't completely eliminate his old role. Jacory, Slade, and co. are capable of being perfectly fine safety blankets as well.
