re: Let’s do it- predictions Us vs khakis

38-10 DAWGS

27-12

After watching the other bowl games, I think the powers that be are tired of SEC domination:

Michigan 20 + Refs 14 Georgia 24

Michigan will stuff our running game and their secondary will rape our receivers and there will be few if any calls.

Michigan will follow the same gameplan that Bama used and run a hurry-up offense keeping our front 7 of the field until they are gassed.
Their OL will hold the entire game and there will be only a few token holding calls on plays that don't matter.
Meanwhile our secondary will be called for ticky-tack interference penalties anytime it appears that the Wolverine offense is stymied.

Gotta say I have the Gurley Girl feels down deep too. I am back in Munson Mode. It's not a bad place to be, I tell myself.

Obviously, you haven't been watching the games - the SEC is absolutely dominating the "L" column. It isn't even competitive.

Yep, my prediction is obviously hyperbole, but it's not far removed from how I objectively assess our chances.
It's clear by now that the SEC is down compared to previous seasons.
LSU, Florida and Auburn are each in transition coaching situations and had bad seasons.
A&M is the 2nd best team in the West but lost to Arkansas, Ole Miss and a bad LSU team.
Meanwhile, Bama had many lackluster games and lost to A&M. And now their 2nd best receiver, Metchie, is out for the season.
Tennessee's offense looks strong, but they absolutely got hosed by the refs last night.
MSU is not a good team under the Pirate. They were a better team with Mullen at the helm; Mullen should have stayed at MSU and Florida should have hired a coach who can recruit their home state.

As such, Georgia's fine 12 win regular season looks less impressive due to the overall decline in the SEC.
I hope I am wrong, but I still don't see Bennett as a championship level QB.
He could be with the right offense, but I don't see that happening. Bennett should be rolling out early and often with an option to run or pass. When he gets tired, bring in another QB to give him a break. SC did this very effectively in the only SEC bowl win vs NC yesterday.
I rewatched some of the Clemson game yesterday and conclude that we are missing Anderson mightily. There's simply no substitute for LB with that kind of speed and ability to pressure the opposing QB.
We are also missing championship level RBs. We had them in Gurley, Chubb and Michel but were missing other key elements back then.
We also don't have tall and fast big play receivers. The closest we have is Bowers but he is a TE. I would be tempted to play Bowers at WR and use one of our other TEs in the TE position.
Bennett is short by championship level QB standards and needs to be able to throw the ball high to tall receivers.

This statement is stupid as frick.

They did it out of necessity and they’re a terrible team with terrible depth.

And your statement is rude and adds nothing to the discussion.

While SC does not have our level to talent, they employed a smart strategy and won their bowl game convincingly.

I woke up feeling sorta down and feeling like a loss today but I’m just gonna bury that deep down inside lol

Honestly my UGA PTSD got completely re-triggered after the SECCG. I don’t feel good about today, which is actually a good thing, because it usually translates into a Dawgs romp.
