If UGA shortens their receiver rotation to Burton, Pickens, and McConkey they are a tough group to cover when you factor in Bowers & Washington. The only problem really is that Stetson doesn't make corners pay for man coverage against Burton & Pickens often enough. Sometimes you just have to throw it up to your guy and trust they will win.


This is NOT the defense you want to be floating up jump balls and lollypops against...Green, Turner, Gray, Hawkins, & Hill are outstanding when the ball gets put in the air...tough to throw against, trust me.

Ask the O$U Walnuts of Columbus...they have an NFL receiving corps, I'm not joking. Best WR group in the country ( Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba), and yet Michigan was able to basically neutralize them. The Brutus Walnuts had one play over 30 yards the entire fu**ing game! Not a typo,either, 1 fu**ing play, dude!

Bama is very susceptible to good TE’s due to scheme. ...it’s not a new issue.

I would attribute some of that to poor LB play, more so last season.

UGA will not pass very much during the game. Georgia will control the game by running.

A lot of people think Michigan will expose UGA for the media propped fraud they are. Their biggest win is a win over Clemson and they didn't even score an offensive TD in that game. And, we all know now that Clemson is horrible.

I really don't think this game will be close. I think Georgia runs away with it.

If UGA had a Bryce Young or a Matt Corral they would destroy everyone and it wouldn't be close. You wouldn't have a prayer.

But they don't. And that gives everyone a chance.

Michigan going against Ohio State was also in the snow. Their rival who they had beat last in 2011. It's gonna be different with Georgia. Fast tempo offense hurts Michigan.

A top 25 team is horrible? Maybe get outside of your bubble and watch some more football.

While I agree, it's also worth considering that the Georgia defense just got lit up against a capable offense.

Having more offensive firepower could certainly offset that, though.

Much like Alabama's whole team, it will be interesting to see which Georgia defense shows up in the CFP, and if that game was an anomaly or exposed something that we didn't see initially.

If your scheme can't get it done with an athletic guy like Harris and Henry T it probably isn't ever gonna get it done.

If Michigan stays within two touchdowns, Smart should be fired.

Absolutely. After Bama’s opening drive in the 3rd quarter, the Georgia defense got five straight stops. During that time, Georgia’s offense scored zero points and even gave up a pick 6.

Just think about it Georgia...if you lose to Michigan then you can't lose to Alabama again.

I don’t understand why people hit on SB? He played well vs Bama outside of the two picks and one was not his fault. To me it’s more of a product of the type of offense Georgia runs and not him.

I have always wanted the NCAA to allow the redshirts to play in a Bowl game without losing a season. I mean 99% of the games are pretty much meaningless now (4 teams matter).

The 4 game deal is very helpful with getting the freshmen used to bigtime college football. I believe Milroe has done his 4 already. LSU did 4 with Nuss so he's locked out as well. If an injury to Bryce would mean Paul or lose the redshirt for Milroe. Lets hope that doesn't happen.

...and if your coach wasn't going around fu**ing fat b!tches all the time, maybe he wouldn't have 4 losses every year!

Yeah, excuse my French, but if Bryce goes down, we're fricked.
