Suffocating defense and smash mouth running game that make defenses quit. I am highly impressed with the Georgia running backs and their over looked tight ends. Fromm is nothing to sneeze at either. Bama will have their hands full in Atlanta.

Alabama is going to steamroll us this year. 2019 is when I think we will start putting great teams on the field

That's nice, but you know Bama will not have its hands full. We match up terribly. Tua is going to have all day to throw

UGA's run defense is a bit questionable this year so far. Not saying it sucks but the standards you laid in this thread are real high.

We will need some help from Bama to keep it close

Georgia is a really good team but Alabama is just at another level right now. If Bama makes some mistakes and there are some strange plays maybe they give them a game, but Bama playing to their potential will crush anyone this season.

Bama never got destroyed under Saban like Georgia did against LSU.

Georgia's defense is not near as good this year as last.

Fromm is a Game Manager. The difference is Saban has evolved and Smart hasn't.

I think last year's team was similar to Bama 08 but paths seem to be diverging from there. More of a wide open football team than Bama from 2009 on, at least that looks like how it's developing.

Don’t fool yourselves. There is a ceiling. LSU tried to out-Bama Alabama and they fail. UGA will also. You have to build a different way to attack them. UGA is the new 2011-2018 LSU, nothing more.

You can argue that Georgia is ahead of Alabama in year 3 of both programs, I know Bama won a title in year 3. Kirby did inherit a chit ton of talent with fertile recruiting base.

Georgia has played two teams ranked in the top 80 in total offense. Those teams are Missouri who is ranked 18th and South Carolina ranked 63rd. The only good offensive team is Missouri and Missouri’s offense was effective against them with 26 first downs, gaining almost 400 yards, and scoring 29 points. Also, LSU had 275 rushing yards and 475 total yards against Georgia. Georgia’s a very overrated defensive team whose defensive numbers have been skewed by the competition that they have played this season.

Our defense will be chasing its own tail against Bama. Yalls receivers are just too damn good.

I do think Fromm getting his head out of his arse, Holloman emerging as this year's Javon Wims and Swift getting back to full strength has made our offense one to be reckoned with. We definitely won't get shut out like LSU did.

I'm feeling Bama 42 - Georgia 20 right now. arse kicking.

2019 will be the best team we've fielded in years, especially if 90+% of our draft-eligible guys come back.

Hope you're right! Don't think we give Bama much of a fight this year (Bama is better, we are worse vs last year), but hoping 2019+ we start putting elite teams on the field.

Either way, proud to be controlling the east like we never have before since the start of me being a fan.

That's very gracious of you, but we aren't beating y'all unless Mecole runs back every kickoff for a touchdown.

except for the whole losing by 20 points in back to back years thing. Bama hasn't lost by more than 14 since like 2003 maybe? definitely hasn't happened during Saban's tenure.
