🏈 But they didn't win their conference...

I think ND gives us a much tougher game than UGA does. Texas aTm has something that neither UGA or ND have and that is a QB that is like Johnny. UGA's QB can chuck the ball, but can't run with any effectiveness and ND has a QB that can run and throw, but he isn't like aTm's QB at all. In the aTm game we played poorly and I just don't see us playing like that against UGA and I really don't see us struggling against ND with Saban and his staff having a month to prepare. But, first we must handle UGA

There's one thing I pay a great deal of attention to—and those here can attest—and that's what I call the mental makeup of a team.

Take Florida as an example. They are much better in the physical aspect of their play this year than last. They still have their issues evidence by struggling to beat the Ragin' Cajuns at home 10 weeks into the season.

I bring that up to say this. No matter how "ugly they forced the other team to lose" (isn't that how you preferred it? :bluebiggrin: ) ND has managed to pull it out in the end.

Stanford: I didn't see them do anything special against Oregon. Sound defense, with discipline gap control. None-the-less, yes a good defense. How they would do if they were in the SEC this year? It depend on their schedule. If they had Mizzou's, they'd be in the bottom half of the league. Georgia's? I can see third in the east.

You hit the proverbial nail on the head. That's what I love about this years ND team. Regardless of the situation, they stay true to themselves and will play until the clock shows 0:00 4th Qtr.

I believe the game will be epic if we win out and play ND. It has been said many times that the SEC beats up on itself too much and tends to skew the stats. This year all of the non conference games were never close for Jawja or BAMA. The stats don't take into account the relief players that are put in. In fact it hurts the stats for rating the SEC vs other conferences. (Not counting Spurrier) The analysis above is factual however I believe it is also a big detailed statistic of general related things that doesn't look at the details. The rating of a team doesn't mean crap until they play an opponent. Look at the ratings before the season and now.

ND is the closest school that plays our style of play and will be a challenge because they are balanced. Still I believe we have the best opportunity to win. I predict that it will be a game like the Stanford vs ND. I will make sure that I record it and save it. It will not be a boring game if we beat Jawja. If we bring our best game and ND does also, we should win. It would also piss off ESPN except for Mark M.

I feel that we are the underdogs and will have to play lights out with no excuses or we will get beat. We have been there once this year so maybe coach will play the Tebow crying video to get them up for the next two challenges. I have more faith in our team when Saban has the time to prepare. The Process is hard to beat.

That reminds me why are we talking about ND this week????:headscratch:
