I'm trying to be objective...you're being emotionally biased.

our OL is a dumpster fire, we will have to game plan around them for sure. and if murray doesn't throw at least 1 int i will be surprised. he isn't perfect but he is the best we have had since greene and shockley. stafford was a pussy.

I know that this is only 1/3 of the football equation. But this is exactly why UGA fans should hold our head high going into the game on Saturday.

There are 6 common opponents with UGA and LSU (Ole Miss, Miss St, Auburn, Kentucky, Tennessee, & Florida).

Over those 6 games, UGA gave up 9 fewer first downs (68 to 77).
UGA gave up 9 more total yards (1252 to 1243).
UGA gave up 484 more passing yards (1127 to 643).
UGA gave up 460 fewer rushing yards (122 to 582).
UGA had a MUCH better opponents 3rd down conversion ratio (23.17% to 32.05%) or (19 out of 82 versus 25 out of 78).
UGA created 2 more turnovers (14 to 12)
UGA had the ball a WHOPPING 16:57 more in time of possession.
UGA held the opponents to 1 fewer rushing TD (1 versus 2)
UGA hed the opponents to a MUCH lower rushing per attempt average (0.8 versus 2.77)
UGA gave up 2 more passing TDs than LSU (4 versus 2).
UGA had 7 more sacks (28 versus 21).
UGA had 1 fewer INT (7 versus 8).

Despite UGA's massive advantage against the run game, UGA was also very close to LSU in the opposing QB efficiency rating.
Against Ole Miss (52.37 for LSU and 79.39 for UGA).
Against Miss St (91.38 for LSU and 85.43 for UGA).
Against Auburn (106.35 for LSU and 110.41 for UGA).
Against Kentucky (63.38 for LSU and 81.19 for UGA).
Against Florida (104.38 for LSU and 105.53 for UGA).
Against Tennessee (63.76 for LSU and 115.90 for UGA).

If LSU has a National Championship caliber defense... then so does UGA.
And a defense like that can be more than capable of allowing Aaron Murray an opportunity to win the ballgame late in the 4th quarter

Above was taken from another site. Thought it was interesting but obviously pro UGA. Again, not my research, not my facts, but just an interesting look at common opponents

Not saying I disagree, but why is the scoreboard so close in all but the AU game?

we played conservative in a lot of those games

@OM: UGA totally sleep walked this one and the coaching was incredibly conservative. too many FGs but we thoroughlyu dominated the rebs. punt return added a td

MSU: Just inconsistent play on offense. sleep walked, OL played horrid, murray's worst game all year but like OM the defense completely dominated. pick 6 affected score

@UT: offense just played timid, conservative, murray missed some deep throws but again defense dominated. UT scored their only TD when the game was basically finished

@Vandy: offense was on and off, defense was caught completely off guard by Jordan Rodger's speed. we dominated early on with larry smith but they put rodgers in and we had no idea what to do. defense lost composure, coaches lost composure, STs had a complete and utter meltdown and so on. worst game we played all year behind boise state. i haven't been that angry since also Boise but both were basically the same. Vandy scored on a kick return

UF: it's UF, they could be 0-12 and we need 4 quarters. but that game the offense was on and off but did enough, defense dominated, STs completely melted down 2nd only to Vandy. UF returned kicks all over our asses one for TD

UK: lost top 2 backs (thomas suspended the night before, crowell hurt 2nd carry) and then our former walk on and 4th string back (behind Crowell, Thomas, and Samuel) and 5th string freshman back ken malcome played and both coughed up the ball. defense dominated but offense played bad due to OL and turnovers

@GT: score doesn't represent the domination and you can ask anyone. it was 31-10 till about 6 min left, we left 10 pts on the field.

really it was our offense not gelling or just conservative play. a lot has to do with this team's youth though and they seemed to have hit their groove UF and on. and the higher scores are either garbage scores or our shitacular STs

Randle is the best WR in the league. Shepard has something like 40 catches, as does Odell Beckahm Jr. You've got an 18 year old as your best receiver. #AnalysisFAIL

So much bias in this statement. I would say Jarius Wright is the best receiver in the league as of now.

Btw, Shepherd only has 14 receptions this year NOT 40. LSU only have 2 receivers that have 30+ receptions while UGA has 4 different receivers. UGA's WRs also outgained LSU's WRs by almost 900 extra yards. LSU has only rushed the ball 20 more times than UGA this season so the disparity in receiving yards is not due to the fact that LSU runs "exponentially" more.

Reuben Randle may be the best receiver to step on the field on Saturday but UGA probably has the best WRs as a unit.

Because we're UGA and we like to keep the games interesting by timid offensive playcalling and giving up points on Special teams (not converting FGs as well as punt and kick returns).

If we play like we did against Auburn, i see a competitive game similar to Alabama. If we play like we did against Kentucky, Ole Miss, State, or Florida, we will get skull boned.

UGA seems to always bring a good game against LSU and vise versa, this will be no different. AM will be the key for UGA and JJ will be the key for LSU, Everything else will balance out

I would take crowell over Magee and ware

But not hillard ford or blue
