Maybe some Dawgs will leave their juice in Jacksonville. You know you've got so much more disdain for Florida. Let it out!

So when a QB runs that counts you count. Does it matter where it comes from?

About a third.

I’d argue that vastly understates the impact he has on the rush game.

Defenses are needing to maintain gap discipline against him which means:
-You can’t unleash the pass rush how you normally would or he will take off running
-You have to spy him taking a guy away from coverage/blitz
-He rushes for a very solid average and forces you to respect the RPO looks

I’d say LSU would be 50% less efficient rushing the ball if Daniels missed time.

Then they aren't smarter than you. If I was a UGA fan, I'd rather play Bama than LSU.

The thing with LSU is Bama and UGA doesn't have an offense capable of hanging with LSU's this year. That's where my concerns lie as the defense will have to work overtime and that LSU O is too good to overcome.

Bama's offense would much easier to shut down.

No, and I never said it did. Sometimes you baws have your setting on "GET OFFENDED" before you even read the entire post.

They are afraid of team speed on Bama.
And they are afraid of Milroe running.

Lassiter is having an excellent year (CB1). But he is not a burner. CB2 is still developing (not sure if they will be able to handle future NFL WRs by December).
Nickel defenders are playing great. But again... smaller/faster slot guys do not play to our strengths.

We are doing a good job limiting RBs. But the fear is that Milroe can still do enough on the ground to keep balance. And 3rd and short is a very different defensive team than 3rd and long.

We may still win. But strength vs weakness is their concern. Styles make fights.

I think you underestimate UGAs offense.

We've been playing left handed all year. We are finally getting healthy on offense (ironic with Bowers).

The offensive line is killing it.

Sacks count against rushing yards and our QB is sacked every other play, so yes, Bama can possibly be that low.


Milroe is mobile... why does he get sacked so much?

Because he is a complete idiot when it comes to pocket presence and he has zero instinct as a runner. Watch some past games, he has an uncanny ability to escape the pocket right into the teeth of the pash rush. It's actually kind of impressive
