How much does not having Adam Anderson and Aziz Ojulari hurt them ? The smaller pass rushers that could get home are the types that have affected the right side of our offensive line. Also, which guy outside of the usual pass receivers will step up and make a big play ? I would love to see Leary get some action.

A ton, IMHO. We've been most susceptible to edge rushers on the right side. Auburn didn't beat us with blitzes, they beat us with speed rushes around the right edge and up the middle against a hobbled Dalcourt.

If they had Anderson coming around the edge it's a whole different ballgame, IMHO. Less need to blitz, more ability to pick when you blitz and much easier to collapse the pocket (which effects Bryce the most) as opposed to sprinting in blitzers (which he's very good at avoiding and make pay).

We're gonna stop the run well enough and bring out "Bad Stetson Bennett." Bama by 3



If we get "Bad Stetson Bennett", we should win by double digits again. Only winning by three in that scenario is offense being LSU game bad.

How much pressure is on Georgia tonight? How is Kirby going to temper his players' self imposed pressure?
I really think that they think it's almost a now or never mentality, which hopefully causes all sorts of mistakes.

The 1st 8-10 minutes of this game are so important to Bama. We have to take the punch and stick with them. The longer we hang with them the less confident they will grow in their gameplan.

That’s the key. Stay very close or slight lead at half, take the wind out some. Run the hurry up, get them tired.

The first 15 minutes of the SECCG didn't exactly go Alabama's way.

Another random stat about Alabama in the National Championship Game under Saban.

Alabama is 6-0 in NCG played at the New Year's Six bowl sites. Alabama has NCG wins at the Sugar Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Peach Bowl, Rose Bowl, twice at the Orange Bowl sites.

Alabama is 0-2 in NCG at sites not in the New Year's Bowl sites. Bama lost in Tampa and Santa Clara.

Time to break that streak with a win in Indy.

I’m keep telling myself we are going to lose, to try to help my pre-game stress levels


I'm less stressed about this game than any other NCG we've had.

I think it's because I'm just surpised we're here. I don't know why I doubt--I guess I look at the negatives. Key players hurt, an O-line that hasn't played very well at times, etc.

We have the better QB. We have the better coach. Our defenses are statistically similar. Why not us?

Still, if not, I don't think it'll be as bad as some of our other losses...this team has already exceeded all expectations.

This is a MUST WIN for Georgia. Pressure is all on them.

I also forgot to mention if Kendricks doesn't get his hands on the WR at the line he is toast. It happened against Michigan, Bama, a few times against lesser teams during the season, and against Ohio State when he is with Clemson. If you get through his hands, he doesn't have the recovery speed. The refs have to not let him maul guys like he did when he got the first pick against Michigan while clearly committing PI.

Just saw where Laura Rutledge's daughter picked Georgia.

She's 13-3 in her picks this year.

I don't feel good about this game.

Or... They're too amped up and once the initial adrenaline wears off they're gassed and can't recover.

Eta: just realized you were probably being sarcastic. My mistake. Carry on.

So many people tell me, "it must be boring being a Bama fan because ya'll win every game, no suspense" and I'm over here like...every game I'm on edge and anticipating the worst, even if the odds are generally in our favor.

Juiced. Ready to run down on kick coverage. Full disclosure at this age I only have one left in me. I've been saving it in case I get called to walk on. I'm prepared to burn it tonight.
