UGA doesn't have the OL of A&M and Murray isn't anything close to the running/scrambling threat of JFF. They have an excellent RB but A&M did as well. The WR's are harder to say, both teams are solid there. A&M doesn't use TE's much.

More that that though, the pace is different and the formations and style of the teams are different. A&M is an Air Raid, fast moving offense that is designed to put constant pressure on the defense and has Manziel's mobility and unpredictability to make it even harder to stop. UGA is a more traditional pro style set that has a lot of talented players that execute it well.

The real story of the A&M win though was how the A&M defense played though. They forced turnovers and effectively bottled up Bama's run game for the most part. They got burned on a few deep balls late but otherwise they did a solid job of containing Bama's offense. UGA certainly has the talent to do so and they are deeper but can they?

The thing I would give Bama an edge on is they have the ability to emulate what USC did a lot more than UGA can emulate what A&M did.

As mentioned above...this was true in the past. The Georgia offense looks much different than seasons past. Yes, they do lineup in some of the same sets. However, they have added many more spread formation with long periods in four wide sets. Gurley runs extremely well out of these formats.

Bama doesn't have Clowney and Taylor and their pass rush is doesn't seem to be very good. Thus, they cannot emulate what USCe did.

If Bama brings LB's to blitz, they better get to Murray

Aaron Murray isnt just some stiff like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady that just sits in the pocket all day. He has run the ball a few times like here... LINK
