Bama fans, from your perspective, what are the keys to beating UGA?

I think it will take a flu breakout in the Georgia locker room Thursday morning!

I don’t see it happening!

Hit. Carson. Beck.

Even if it's on a PAT. Helmet to knee.

Jam receivers to throw off timing. Be prepared for a thousand rub routes. Pressure QB.

Offensive line must Give Milroe time

Avoid self-inflicted mistakes, defense has to limit big plays and pressure Beck, make FGs , let Milroe free - design runs for him and get him to pull the trigger sooner or run; the sooner he gets vertical the better. Bad things happen when he backs up in the pocket or stretches horizontally to extend plays. Team has to play smart and physical in all phases and keep pace. uGA isn't a team Bama will come out of a 2+ score deficit against.

Stop McHonkey or whatever TE they play

I'd also appreciate the perspective of those fans of teams that have played both this season.

Alabama along with ref assistance is going to turn UGA into the Israelites again.

Wander in the wilderness for another 40 years. Glad you enjoyed your good run.

Oh, and before your broken record can say it....1998

Man, I'm just happy Bama is in the game! No one is giving the Tide a chance.
I think we need to play with more emotion. Have fun and enjoy the game. No more playing not to lose.
If we can play with half the passion Auburn did against us, watch out.

Alabama's key is getting enough from their tailback that Georgia has to stay committed to containing the run game. Alabama is going to need to hit shots. Milroe is only an adequate short and mid-range thrower; his best attribute as a passer is his deep ball. If Georgia has to pack it in to make Alabama ineffective on handoffs then Milroe's arm becomes a big factor.

I tend to think UGA will have a much better and varied plan to keep Milroe from becoming a scramble drill threat. Still, best designs sometimes fail against an athletic quarterback. How many times does Milroe slip into the open field; how many times does Georgia bait him into TFLs and no gainers? Might be a big factor in the game if it is close.

As for defense, Alabama is going to need to take some lessons from what Freeze exposed in the Iron Bowl. Broadly, it seems that Freeze used formations and linemen actions at the snap to wash out the linebackers and challenge the DBs to play the run. I'm sure UGA will attempt to replicate those problems in their own way but I'm not sure they can do it to the same success. Some of what Auburn was doing just really isn't how UGA plays ball. The conceptual level of getting Alabama defense in a scenario where the DBs have to clean up the play is something to look out for...Alabama's DBs have generally been willing and good tacklers but they just were not yesterday.

Stop the run. Get pressure with 4 so you can cover all routes with safety help. No turnovers. Basically same as every game.
