I also dont believe that a true fan would say stupid shite like we’re going to blow Ga out. What team are you really a fan of?
So you're both.

Two of UGA's four second half TD drives had zero 4th down conversions.
In one UGA had a 30 yard pass followed by a 47 yard pass to the Bama 1. UGA punched it in on second down.
In the other UGA had a 67 yard TD pass on their first play.
The drive than ended with a fumble also had no 4th down conversions. UGA was at first and goal on the Bama 8 when that happened so a punt would likely not have happened from the Bama 8.
So... I don't think you're right.
So, your few final drives after the Alabama defense was tired?

Maybe the Rant isn't the place for me. There is a lot of dross here to sift through for football discussion. I am not big on outsize boasting about sports success, something which I have very little to do with if at all.
Hell, the CFB sub actually has more football conversations between fans of all teams. 90% of the traffic here seems to be my pee-pee is bigger than yours. It's boring and dumb to read, whether it comes from a Longhorn, GA fan, or whatever else.

People think its funny, but Ewers at 100% and after watching how Milroe picked that defense apart, Sark will try to make an example out of Georgia. Lets be honest after Kentucky and Bama we know exactly who Georgia is and it isn't the Georgias from before.

The school in Austin is certainly capable of beating UGA, but they could stumble at Arky or at home against Kentucky. The SEC will teach you a lesson sooner than later about not overlooking conference games.

After Kentucky beat Ole Miss, I doubt this team looks past them. That was my trap game for the year, now I'm leaning more towards Vandy.

As far as UGA not letting up 30 points against anyone, I don’t think that’s true. If you watch the first drive of the Michigan game (best defense in CFB) Texas moved the ball fairly easy up the field.
First of all... Michigan doesn't have the best defense in college football either statistically or based on people making an informed observation.
Tennessee leads the nation in total defense. Michigan is 43rd. Ohio State leads the nation in scoring defense. Michigan is 51st. And Michigan hasn't played a great schedule to blame for that. UGA is well ahead of Michigan in both metrics.
Anyone watching Michigan play can think of 6-10 SEC teams with stronger defenses too. Bama, Texas, Tennessee, UGA, Mizzou, UK and OU are all definitely better on defense. SC, Ole Miss and even Auburn and Arkansas can make a case.
Also, a first drive rarely is the way to judge something on. I've seen a ton of defenses (particularly ones I consider great) give up points on the first drive or two and then adjust and shut down their opponent the rest of the game.
quote:
QB: Texas
RB:UGA
WR:Texas
TE: Texas (slight edge)
OL: Texas
There's lots of this I don't really agree with.
The reality is UGA and Texas so far have each played two P4 opponents. UGA had Clemson and Bama. Texas had Michigan and Miss State. I feel confident saying UGA's on average were better than Texas'.
Texas had 570 yards passing in those two games.
UGA had 717 yards passing in theirs
UGA also averaged more yards per pass attempt.
UGA played tougher defenses and put up more yards through the air. There can be disagreement on what caused that, but I would think that means either UGA is better at QB, WR or OL to make that difference happen.
Unless you think Beck is the reason but still give the edge to Texas at QB because they have used two different guys. I don't quite agree with that though as only one can play at a time. Depth is important for a season but not for an individual matchup when it comes to evaluating who has the edge at QB.

It means you were behind a lot and had to go through the air to make up the difference in a hurry. You weren't worried about balance, nor avoiding running up the score on overmatched teams.
Georgia could very well be a better team than Texas but this datapoint of passing yardage means little in my opinion.

Good lord OP, the Horns have beaten 4 horrible teams, one of which you struggled with, and a depleted and severely overrated Michigan. And now you are going to blow out UGA?

That's where you would be wrong. Michigan had the #1 defense last year and returned 10/11 starters. They have 3 first round picks and several mocks have them all within the top 10. If you actually watched Michigan games this year you would see it's stout, but with the offense consistently giving up 3 and outs, they spend most of the game on the field. That wears on them, thus they get tired.
The fact of the matter is that Texas will not face a better defense all season than Michigan's.

You listed 2 teams that haven't played anyone with a pulse on offense. Michigan has played 2 top 25 offenses(USC and Texas).

I actually agree with this, but Texas had no issue most of the game. I used the first drive to show that both were fresh, and Michigan's defense was not tired yet from the lack of offense.

UGA has played 3 P4 opponents, you forgot Kentucky. We can leave that one out though as it only hurts your argument.
quote:

Lets look at this with more context. Had UGA not been down 28-0, odds are they aren't throwing every play. Passing yards are inflated due to this. Texas being in control of both of their games is not forced to throw.

I see it as UGA had to throw the ball to get back into the game.

I don't think any rational person would say Beck is better than Quinn after watching his last 2 games.

Here's what I do know:
By Oct 19, this forum will probably have a united consensus on the outcome of this game.
Georgia still has to beat State and Auburn. What if they have difficulty, what if they nail bite their way through one or both of these games? What if they get the job done but don't look good doing it. OTOH, what if they completely annihilate that arse?
Texas will play Oklahoma. If Texas loses (gulp) then there's that. What if Texas steam rolls? Sometimes it's not a matter of W or L, but how good you look doing it.
If Texas actually has a chance to blow out Georgia, then that will become apparent before Oct 19. And vice versa.

As a Bama fan the last team I want to see is Georgia. Kirby will have them boys ready the rest of the year I don’t see them loosing another big game maybe SEC title game maybe but certainly not to Texas he will go in dry this weekend so prepare that tail Barn. Texas yours is coming soon enough that’s a bee hive don’t go shaking it you’ll be stung. He won’t let off so if he gets you down be ready!

I believe it. Sark's drunk ahh is a genius and with talent to work with, he'll run circles around any defense. Look at what he did to Ohio State with Smitty. Look.at how he picked Bama apart last year. Georgia is very undisciplined in a few areas, but still really good. With a QB that can pick them apart and a good run game, Georgia can be beat by at least two scores.

"I always hated playing against Texas," Saban said at SEC Media Days.
And he offered a friendly warning of sorts to another of his former coordinators, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart, saying: "And Kirby has got some of the same issues that we had."
Sark will be prepared for Kirby. Looking at Sarks last 2 match ups with Saban, a 1 point loss in Austin with a backup QB and then next year handed Saban his worst loss in Tuscaloosa in his Alabama tenure.
