Who you got?

We have the rest of the year to talk about Auburn steam rolling Bama.

Assuming Auburn is as healthy as they were for the 1st meeting I got AU by 17.

Game will be very close. Auburn has enjoyed the warmth of Jordan Hare stadium for the past two big games. Though we have done well in Atlanta, its a very different environment.

KJ being injured is concerning. Even if he is able to play, you have to believe he wont be 100%. I see Auburn passing the ball more and trying to control the clock with short routes. Our defense will be even more important than before.

I see this as a TD game either way

Depends on how healthy the running backs for Auburn are. If they have a decent running back, AU wins again in my book. Their defensive front is pretty scary.

We will have to see just if UGA gets dominated in the trenches. They showed they are able to move the ball if everything goes well on that very first drive.

I am seeing the we have made a couple of changes on who the starters for the offensive line is based on a few of them getting dominated at Auburn.

I think it will be just like Auburn/Georgia games of recent years.....very close.

Yeah the starter was favoring a shoulder and I still haven’t read anything updating Pettway.

Who’s left to run the ball?

We'll be fired up, but that will dissolve over the course of the game. Could see the Dawgs going up early and Auburn fighting back in the second half via Stidham's arm.

In a close game you have to figure that Auburn has the advantage with Carlson able to hit consistently from 50+ out. Outside of field goal kicking I do think that Georgia has a pretty large advantage on special teams and has to take advantage of that if they are going to win.

Pettway is out. His only possibility would be after the new year if we get that far. for now, its KJ, Kam Martin, Barrett then Malik Miller.

Either way, you have to believe KJ would not be 100% this weekend

It's basically an away game at their Stadium. They've had 3 weeks to scoop up all the tickets and there will be 75% Georgia fans there. It's going to be a tight game and we're going to have to play our best ball of the year. Carlson comes through with the kick. 20-17.

No shite, if it comes down to a kicking competition I don’t see anyone in the country beating Auburn and that kicker.

Does this concern y'all? Not trolling, but Auburn's struggles have come away from home...3-2 on the road.

The beating you put on us three weeks ago might negate this...

Auburn is the better team plain and simple but the dawgs still have a legit shot on a neutral field.

Is Jim Chaney capable of making adjustments against this stout AU front 7 to give us more offensive success? Doubtful, but maybe.

Is Kirby/Mel capable of making defensive adjustments to at least slow down AU and hold them to say 24 or fewer points? I think so, but we will need help from our offense controlling the ball more.

AU will be dealing with a whole lot of rat poison going into this game. Kerryon probably won't be 100% and might not even play. They will be playing away from one of the most underrated college football environments in the country for the first time in weeks against a team that is highly motivated for revenge.

If Georgia can maintain some ball-control and ware down the AU defense (and spare their own defense) they can win this game.

Auburn's short/intermediate passing game, including WR screens, shallow crossing routes, and RB screens, is as good as I've ever seen under Malzahn. If KJ can't go, this could be big.

For Georgia to win, I think the punt return game needs to be a big factor. That's been a big plus for UGA this season and AU's punting game has generally been a weakness, but that totally flipped in the first matchup.

Yeah it scares the shite out of me every time we punt the ball.

UGA has been buying tickets for a month.... It is in their home state... They are mad, we gave them bulletin board material, they will come out and fight... The game will be closer, but Auburn wins in a dome. Better set up for our offense.
