The beating you put on us three weeks ago might negate this...
It would concern me if it were true...I just don't think it is. It doesn't seem to me that UGA fans would have been nearly as fired up about spending $1,000 on 2 tix to this game as Bama/AU. If we had equal time, I think it would be 60/40 AU. As it is, I think it will be closer to 50/50 with a lot of that happening this week (Bama and UGA fans selling their tix to AU fans who are far more motivated to be there)

I think you're wildly underestimating how excited UGA fans are about the state of the program.

Not very likely.

Everything concerns me. Jordan Hare is a bigger advantage than many people realize. That stadium can rock.

Could be a factor...the overall excitement around the programn that is...and y'all should be excited. I think UGA's 3 year prognosis is excellent. But...we are mostly talking about 1 game...one that even the biggest homer UGA fans feel no more than cautiously optimistic.

AU is better on both sides of the ball. Most importantly at quarterback. Fromm isn’t capable of beating this team. AU by >10

So what? UGA is 11-1 with a clear shot their first SEC Championship in 12 years and their first playoff appearance. We're not selling tickets in any significant way.

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
All this and low scoring. A turned up Jordan Hare is an insanely massive home field advantage. We will have at least as many fans in the dome as UGA , but it will truly be a neutral field.

There are the fringe who think we're gonna do to AU what y'all did to us at JH. Many just want to see an inspired, disciplined effort from the coaches and players. If we do that and lose, so be it.

All I know is that Kirby got a defacto date added to the 2017 Revenge Tour and I hope the "dog crap" comment comes back to bite Gus.
Auburn is rolling though and is a legit team. If they win Saturday they may very well win the whole thing. Very impressed with the Gus Bus offense right now. Well oiled machine. D-Line is a huge strength as well.
Some thoughts.....
Can Carry-on tote the luggage 100%?
The Benz is not J-H.
Turnovers? Who wins this battle?
UGA O-Line.....Can they protect?
Fromm and UGA receiver corp....Can they connect?
Overall game plan.....Does Kirby spend 9000 hours viewing the tape and adjusts effectively? Does Gus stick with what works?
Trick plays....Gus has some in the bag. Could they be a big factor?
Special Teams....Aub has the advantage with place kicking and especially long field goals. We have the advantage at punter. Which team wins the third crucial phase of the game?

I feel like the difference will be Stidham against Fromm. We know Auburn isn’t all the sudden going to start allowing Ga to run so they will continue to stack and make Fromm win the game. On the flip side, can Ga stop a red hot Stidham?
THIS is the KEY this go ‘round.
I see it MUCH more of a defensive battle this time. I’ve got:
Aub 23
Ga 16

Mecole Hardman says hi!
Auburn isn't any faster than UGA. You are wildly over estimating the talent gap if you think so. Where Auburn has everyone, is line play and offensive scheme.
The Offensive and Defensive lines for Auburn contain some of the best players in the nation at the position. Combine that with the type of play calling on offense and you get a championship caliber team like we all have seen as of late.
If UGA can do a little more ball control offense and not let our defense spend the entire game on the field, we will have a chance.
It is going to be one of the best games to watch all year in my opinion.

UGA is going to have to start hot and be able to sustain drives. Our defense played pretty damn well against Auburn until they just got worn out because our offense did nothing but go 3-and-out until late in the game. Mecole Hardman returning punts on turf should be fun to watch and it could give UGA an advantage in that department. We've made a change along the OL since the Auburn game and it seems to have helped, but then again the competition was UK and GT... not exactly juggernauts. Realistically, I'd probably say Auburn should win this game by 4-7 points just due to their DL and the fact that I don't trust Jim Chaney to call a game that won't rely on us blowing the other defense off the ball. It'll likely be more of the same. That being said, I think it'll be a physical, hard fought game and if UGA wins it I think it will come down to big special teams plays.

We have to get our best offensive players the ball in space. Sony needs to be put in one on one situations. Wims also is a difficult matchup. Blocking Holland is the biggest concern Need to have success on 3rd down. Defense has to tackle. Smith will be big on the short crossing patterns. Heart tells me 24-21 Uga. Mind tells me 28-20 Aub.
