Sometimes it's good to lose a game. The team stops playing to "not lose" and starts having fun.

I don't know who'll win, but I think LSU will be amped up.
LSU vs Georgia 2018 - instant classic.

Our rushing game is legit and Franks, for all of his faults, has a much better arm than Fromm does. In fact, against Tennessee he had 3 more touchdowns than Fromm did -- and imagine, as the Away Quarterback with only 4 less yards. Secondly: Touched on the rushing game, but it is very underrated. We have three running backs with over 250 yards on the year while Georgia only has two, while the rest aren't even close. We've also faced a harder schedule: UT as the away team (instead of a home game). @MSST instead of South Carolina. VS. LSU instead of...Missouri I guess? Kentucky instead of Vanderbilt. You guys haven't even gotten to your real schedule yet, which has been extremely weak. I look forward to Georgia actually playing a real team this week.


It’s tough to argue with this astute analysis.

I’m still pissed about the outcome of the Florida game, but I actually think it’s possible that Florida loss could be exactly what the Dr ordered heading into a tough homstand against UGA/State/Bama.

Should Georgia win against LSU? Probably. Can Georgia win against LSU? Absolutely.... But this feels like an LSU upset win to me. I’m of the opinion that Orgeron’s team plays better and more focused when their backs are against the wall, as it is this Saturday....he’s a good “us against the world” coach.

I think LSU jumps out to a first half lead, and does just enough in the second half to hang on to a win. I expect Aranda’s D to play its best game of the season this week, because - whether deserved or not - LSU’s Defense is going to be criticized roundly this week. I would be surprised if we see 2 consecutive weeks of people questioning Aranda and criticizing the defense.

That’s what Vegas wants you to think. Georgia 31-7. Vegas keeps building casinos

I don’t think you realize how bad your offense is?

Pretty long line to me considering UGA was only a 10 pt favorite at South Carolina.

L7us defense hasn't been all that good the entire season and ranks in the mid to back tier in the SEC in most all statistical categories. L7u fans have seriously overrated their defense a.d it will.show again this weekend.

UGA has way more firepower on offemse that any team L7u has played all season and is way better than L7us. I'm not sure L7u has a player on offense that would start for UGA. Certainly not at QB, RB nor WR.

Defense is about even with an edge to UGA. L7u is pretty bad on the dline..

The only reason the game stays close for the first 3qs is the game is in deaf valley. UGA pulls away in the 4th 37-20.

If I'm Uga, I make Burrows beat me and shut the run down and blitz between. Keep Lsu offense in a mind game. It would work.

That was when SCAR was going to beat UGA because the media hyped up the game. UGA is in a unique position, because every week they’re going to get upset. At least according to the talking heads.

I'm going with 24-10 Ga. Now, if O decides to start coaching during the game it could get ugly. Also after the game O will call a coaches meeting and inform everyone he is taking over the play calling for the offense. That's when it will really be fun.

Remember what happened last year to UGA as an away team to a West opponent. LSU home games are absolutely wild.


I don't think this is lost on anyone. We had this one marked as our trip up game for quite a while. But I understand LSU didn't even sell this game out and released a bunch of single game tickets online, many of which our folks bought up. I suspect we're going to have a good showing in Red Stick.

Sorry but screw zip. I though the point of being a QB as to complete passes. Who gives a shite about zip.

Haha.....wut?

Do you think Fromm is just some random scrub who lucked into the starting job at UGA? He handily outperformed the guy who you all wanted more than Franks and was a 5-star guy himself. His intangibles are lightyears ahead of Franks and when he needs to toss a ball vertically, he can. I've heard that weak arm shite way too much, yet on the field, it seems to be put to bed. The stats have already been posted. You want to compare his worst game of the year and a couple of fluke fumbles to Franks, be my guest. We had to maneuver some guys around on the OL due to injuries which were part of the problem, but that is rectifying itself as the new guys get reps.

When teams can't stop the dink-and-dunk passes, there's no reason to take deep shots. But Fromm has proven repeatedly that he can hit the deep ball when needed and he's pretty damn good at it, too.

Regardless of what happens in Baton Rouge, you're going to find yourself disappointed in Jax.

Yet another SEC team will get to see our 5th string RB this weekend.

Straws has had a history of not wanting to give Fromm any credit.
