Team come I to Athens? They lost at home to a team they should've beat by getting outplayed, sleepwalking through the first half and ultimately shooting themselves in the foot.

IMO this team will come out on fire with a chip on their shoulder to prove something.

Or are you guys of the opinion that they've hit the ceiling and it'll be another naibiter or worse?

It would be the first time all year, if that were to happen.

I think we come out determined, and I pray, focused! I hope Whitehead starting fixes whatever BS has been going on back there the last 3-4 games!! Hopefully Gus had administered daily beatings until morale/play improves!!

Coin Toss is going to be a factor this week IMO. If we can get on the scoreboard first, it could help to begin shutting the crowd down. But that plus an early stop could make them force some things.

man I don't know honestly. I haven't seen us come out on fire all year. Its been a bit of a problem. We've been playing sloppy and unmotivated most of the season.

For some reason I still have faith in Malz but a lot of these things I would blame on the HC.

100% I truly believe.
We gotta win big betwen the hedges and jump State in the polls when they lose to bama.

I think we win out but need help. I think Bama helps this weekend but State beats Ole Miss and yes, I think we get left out of playoffs.

Eh, we've definitely been sloppy with the penalties and I feel like Malzahn has addressed that.

As far as the season goes, I truly believe it's with lack of pass rush followed by secondary.

Taken from another thread

quote:

To be fair, our secondary is made up of:

Ford - a converted Rb
Holesy- just off ACL surgery
Moncrief - JUCO player who has limited experience
Reed- a converted WR
Whitehead - suspended 6 games
Mincy - inconsistent his whole career
Jones - He is a good corner, but undersized


I will give EJ another year before I blame his scheme. He needs the right players.

We've lost two games both due to turnovers. The two at the beginning of the State game and the two at the end of the A&M game were anomalies. Other than those games, ball protection has been great. We truly gave the A&M game away.

I certainly don't see an unmotivated team. We fought back from being behind in both those games.

If we had a pass rush this season, we'd probably be sitting at 8-1 right now. Maybe 9-0

Just my 2 cents

probably this. we've looked like shite in big games even with time to prepare for them we come out flat or come out and turn the ball over. I have no reason to believe this game will be any different.

What about the fact there are probably a lot of former HS teammates facing off and the number of AU players originally from Georgia?

This. I believe this game is a bigger rivalry to some of our players than the IB.

And I wasn't saying we've played flat every game. We've fought back server so times to prove they don't quit. Simply put , if we could go out with the pedal to the floor from start to finish like againy LSU , I like our chances against anyone.

I don't know if we'll lose, but I think we could be able to judge what's going to happen in the 1st quarter.
