Yep. Agree here too. The difficult throws are one thing but wide open guys Jalen has to get the ball to them on target. Again if he is scrambling for his life that's one thing but with with any kind if time -- hit the open receiver with a good throw
Yup. If he does that (make 2-3 open 1st read throws) against Clemson that game is much uglier.

I know I'm in the minority on this, but I really believe if we utilize Jalen's running ability, this game. It will be the difference.

We’d better put up more points on offense than we did against Clemson. Fromm is no Kelly Bryant and the Dawg running game is far better than Clemson’s. The defense will be hard pressed to shut down UGA as well as they did Clemson. The big thing is when the offense gets opportunities, they can’t herp derp it up and come away empty like we did several times in New Orleans.

I respect Georgia but if they can't run they're in trouble. Their defense can be exploited much more frequently than ours. I think jalen's experience is being undersold as well on this stage.

The 2 back, triple option look we ran a few times we great. Not sure why we haven't based and entire mini offense off of it with reads, hot routes and play action.

I feel like Roquan Smith will be assigned to spy on Jalen to eliminate his rushing thus negating that facet of our game. Try again.

With the extra threat of jalen's legs we should RPO more than we do...Zone read or quick routes over middle . When we show that we ve been hard to stop. Jalen also has misread the read options at times, meaning he should keep it more than he has.

He looked good on that fake pich option play the other night. Of course, we never ran it again.

I agree. 17 points against Clemson and 14 points against AU is something I just can't get out of my head. Its clear that our offense has a ceiling when it comes to scoring points. While I believe that we can handle UGA's offense, I think they are too talented to be completely shut down and I'd rather not force our defense to play a perfect game. UGA will get some points and they will try to use their backs in the perimeter to move the chains and keep our defense on the field.
Keep in mind, it doesn't take a shootout to beat us. Ole Miss beat us by only scoring 23 in 2014. LSU (a team that plays similar to UGA) has come close to beating us with some low scores. IMO, Fromm won't be intimidated. He's played in too many big games this year and has been on various big stages in his life to be treated as some mundane freshman that will wilt under the lights.
That said, UGA had some runs last week where their backs were completely untouched and it wasn't due to eye candy like we see with Auburn. With respect to UGA's offense, Oklahoma's defense was garbage. Those kind of runs won't happen against us.

If that happens that takes Smith out of almost everything else we do and means he the rest of their guys will have to tackle our backs, which is a pretty big deal. I'm totally fine with that trade off.
My guess is they do it some and try to hide it to confuse us on option type stuff.

Well if we shut them out, the worst we can expect is overtime. That’s something.

I'm perfectly fine with this. Any time you can neutralize a Player like Smith, it's worth it.

Give harris the ball instead of every long pass play
Give harris the ball when we are just going to drop back and pass
Give harris the ball.... etc etc

Harris carries 19 times last week and kept talking about how sore and spent he was. When it comes to endurance he’s no Ingram or Henry. I don’t even think he wants more than 20 touches.

Combo run Harris, Bo, and Jacobs or Najee. Pass slant and quick stuff. Hit maybe 2 long passes. Play solid Def. make them earn every yard.

Put Tua in the game. Supposedly Tua will be ready after taking reps with the 1s, and he's been looking excellent. Saban is ready to pull the trigger if need be, and I think this game will require it be done.
Our offense has been pretty abysmal the past 2 games against good defenses, and we'll be facing another great defense with an offense equal to or better than Auburn's...

Well our defensive line has exactly been dominant at getting to the QB, so if Hurts can relax and stay in the pocket he will have a good chance of completing short to intermediate throws. If he gets anxious and runs though I believe we will have Roquan waiting for him to do that. We keep talking Offense vs Defense, but Special Teams may be what wins the game. Im not sure how solid Bamas ST have been this year, but UGA's is top notch. Either way im thinking its gonna be a great game. Good Luck and Go Dawgs!

I am very impressed with what i have seen from watching Fromm and not only his decision making ability but his arm talent in squeezing in the tight throw in coverage. We need the cbs to show up and Hurts to make some plays early so we are winning in the first half and dont let their running game get too much free first half millage.

He has grown a lot throughout the season, he was terrible about staring down receivers during the regular season. I think that was one thing he really worked on in the bowl practices because he kept looking off the safety against OU.

This is the key for yall. He has heard all season long that he is the weak link on the Bama team, can he go out and prove all his critics wrong?
