What will be the determining factor(s) for the UGA @ UA game?

Does UGA respect Milroe or just go after him and dare him to beat the pressure.

Alabama WRs+TEs v. Georgia DBs
Georgia's DBs are the strength of their defense. Can Alabama new-look WR corp get free for the big plays as they have through 3 games?

Georgia WRs+TEs v. Alabama DBs
Alabama's DBs, particularly the corners, are the biggest question mark position group on the team this year. Georgia's passing offense looked pitiful v. Kentucky but Alabama's corners have lost guys in the backend that I think Beck and his eligible receivers will complete unlike the prior competition.

Alabama OL v. Georgia DL
This doesn't seem like quite the same DL group as Georgia has touted the last three years but Alabama's OL situation has been up and down all season. This is the key to the game in my opinion. I think DeBoer and Sheridan will scheme some big plays if the OL can just hold up in pass pro and win their fair share in run block.

Our biggest issues are LB and CB but somehow it's always about Milroe with some...

Jesus man

Biggest issue is our secondary vs their wr. Feels like this is the week they finally get exposed.

It is unlikely we can score into the thirties, we just are consistent on offense. Expect 2 quarters of three n outs. Alabama WR core struggled to get open against lesser competition. The main offense will be milroe extending plays which will be boom or bust

Gotta get pressure on Beck, get some clean hits on him; if he has time to throw, he’s very accurate and will pick us apart over the middle and on the seams…

…and our OL…as they go, so goes our offense…

Turnovers. UGA is a higher caliber team that you cannot give gifts to. Just one stupid mistake could cost us the game, tbh.

I thought we were a better team than last year, but after reading the comments about our defense I may have to re think that. I thought our defense was getting better game to game. Georgia will definitely let us know where we stand.

Will Georgia treat our OL like turnstiles? If Milroe has protection, we win

Idk why any team wouldn't blitz the crap out of milroe.

me either, but kirby has displayed a complete mental bedcrapping when it comes to defensive game planning in 2 of the last 3 matchups, so this aspect is certainly worrisome from our end.

Admittedly I know very little about you teams capabilities. That said, I don't see our OL opening up the inside running game. They didn't against KY until late in game when their issue with depth started to show. I don't think ya'll have a problem with depth. OG Tate Ratledge is out and won't be back. He was the veteran on the line that could have went Pro last year, but decided to come back. He won't be back for weeks if then, so that's another chink in our armor.

We haven't shown we have an ability to stretch the field vertically. Bowers and McConkey are gone and no one has really emerged an THE playmaker at receiver.

Our QB Beck seemed to regress a bit with happy feet when KY brought pressure. It seemed to effect his psyche and thus his throws. Not very comforting.

Based on the above, if our receivers can't get separation from your young secondary allowing you to stack the box against the short throws and the run it's gonna be a long day to be a Dawg.

Our secondary is our strength and it's gonna be interesting to see how Kirby deploys them against Milroe. Georgia's Achilles Heel against Bama has always been your QB. Milroe is no Young but he was still the one player that determined your win against us last year. He's good enough.

Our DL is still banged up with several starters out. They may or may not be back.

It shoud be a good game, and yeah, I'm always a nervous wreck prior to this game. Regardless of how it plays out, I'm grateful to be here, to be part of your board and wish you the best with the rest of your season. Just hope we don't have to play you again down the road.
