What has UGA done since the first AU game to improve pass pro? That's the big if. Obviously, not playing in Auburn helps y'all with that, but UGA was totally outmatched up front in the last game.

Two new starters on OL.

Did well vs Kentucky and GT.

What other questions do you have?

Curious, when have you scored 49?

I can't disagree there on pass protection. Our D will play better I rewatched the highlights multiple times and we allowed the edge plays and backside misdirection to eat us up on 70-80% of plays. Auburn had perimeter guys wide open all game, that's coaching not players. So our D will be much better. O line pass pro is my biggest concern.

I suspect that Kirby suspects that Auburn suspects that we'll do more quick passes, screens, broader spread, perimiter-based misdirection.

Therefore, we'll double-down on the tight goal-line style formations and run chubb up the middle on first and second down, occasionally squirting the tight end out into slant on play action pass.

Stay in the huddle until the playclock gets down to 10 seconds, then everyone run up to the line and quick snap.

Keep UGA's defense off the field.

I could see that playing out, Kirby did say he would be helping certain lineman in protection and not leaving them on an island. It will be interesting to see if Pittman the miracle worker can help them with coaching to stay on blocks and not let defenders disengage and take angles.

Everyone is saying Auburn wins if Keryon plays.

If he plays, he'll be playing hurt, definitely not 100%. And he won't be stiff-arming, preferring to protect his shoulders. It'd be a shame for him to get really fked up & have to have another, repeat, another shoulder surgery. But this time, major surgery.

Guarantee you this. If KJ plays hurt, the SECCG will be his final game in 2017.
