re: Saban going super conservative in the NC game

UGA will try to go 50/50 on first down with run/pass. It isn't an aerial assault. But it will intend to not let Bama guess run and keep UGA behind the chains all game like the DSOR.

UGA has been very successful in getting 1st downs and scoring when we pass on 1st down. So much so that this type of balance has been an offensive weapon late in the season.

The key will be to not make those gamechanging mistakes. No DBs jumping underneath routes. No sack fumbles (Fromm has missed about 1 blitz per game and gotten sacked as a result through no fault of the OL). Not consistently getting false starts and hold calls because of the Bama DL.

If we don't have the mistakes, then Bama fans will be surprised what our offense can do against their defense. But I will be surprised if we don't have any mistakes. Their defense is that good. We will just have to force Bama into their own mistakes and overcome them.
