re: Rain highly likely for UGA v Bama - who benefits from this?

BD does spray paint the grass. BD has problems getting enough sunlight on the field to promote healthy grass growth.

The National Weather Service is now saying 80% chance of rain all day Saturday in Athens.

If it is a rainy game it will substantially change the game. The team with the best all around defense will have an edge especially at the line of scrimmage stopping the run. Rain will increase turovers. I think Georgia has a substantial advantage in the passing game but rain will lessen that advantage. Chubb is Chubb and he will be fired up to get his yards. If Alabamas oline can give Henry a hole to get started he'll have a great game. If he has to fight thru the line he's going to have a bad day. His weakness is getting off the ball and lateral movement - but if he does get off the ball he's a hell of a fast load to stop. A slight advantage goes to Chubb because of his quickness.

I think the rain will hurt both teams but will slightly benefit Alabama. I still agree with the line Georgia -2 in a low scoring game.
