| FTBL I've got a feeling 'bout this UGA game...

[bamascott2]

...and I don't know why. The few clips that I've seen of Georgia have been less than impressive.

Stafford may be slightly better than JPW. But it's close!

Moreno's a great back, but we've got three or four really good ones ourselves. All three may even be on the cusp of being 'great.'

Receivers...I'll take ours over theirs.

O-lines vs. D-lines and vice versa. Bama's are better, IMO.

Both teams' LBs and DBs may be comparable, but Bama's is playing pretty darn good.



Plus, Richt and UGA seem to be having to use gimmicks - blackouts and bulletin boards - to motivate the Dawgs. Not to mention Munson retiring immediately so he doesn't have to witness the carnage.

I don't think it'll be close. Bama by at least two TDs.

As I said, it's just a hunch...but I think we're gonna do it. Almost Clemson-like.

"Stafford may be slightly better than JPW. But it's close!"

Wow that is one very "interesting" statement. This could be one of those all-time great games of the SEC. Can not wait for Saturday night.

 

[Nate]

No offense to JPW in any sort of way.. But um yeah Stafford is pretty damn good. Moreno real deal. Yes UGA is very very beatable. but so are we.

I think our D matches up good against their O. So if we can get 2 Offense TDS i think javier will have a big day returning kicks and we will when with those 2 tds and a few field goals.

Huh? I don't think so man. What I think is Stafford is a heck of a player who won't stop on his progress as the season unfolds. He's matured and some of those throws with his rocket launcher are unmatched by even some of the current players at the NFL. I'm scared with the skill players which UGA got on the offensive side of the ball, but IMHO if 'Bama goes on with those nasty battles on the trenches, I think we have a nice shot this saturday night at Athens. And Georgia always fails in the spotlight (something similar like Clemson)

Give'em hell 'Bama. :evil:

RTR,

Stafford is a much better qb at this stage. AN ABSOLUTE CANNON for an arm. He makes it look easy. Not trying to diss JPW, because he has become a leader on the team and you can tell the guys like him. Plus JPW has gone through a lot more in terms of learning schemes etc. JPW has my support but comparing him to Stafford...I just would not do that.

^^^^^^^^
Spot on....If BAMA outside LB's can contain Moreno and force him back between the tackles....UGA will have major problems. I don't want to sound greedy but if we step up our kickoff coverage, UGA is in deep trouble.

Part of JPW's stats not being up there is the fact that our running game is AWESOME!!! Coffee has a higher per carry average than the almighty Moreno. Just because the other teams have dropped instead of caught some of Staffords passes and one defender actually caught one of JPW's means nothing :lol: :lol:

About game

First of all just let me say Coach Mark Richt does not need to use any kind of gimmick to get our team fired up . Both teams are obviously undefeated for a reason we are both good teams . I am married to Dalton Tider and he and I are both looking forward to the game and all I have to say is Go Dawgs and good luck Bama and I know it will be a good game. I will say that we are not planning on attending our own funeral either so God bless.

Oregon State / Coach Mike Riley just opened the door for you. That should provide ample motivation.

Like wearing cute black jerseys... or playing some Soulja Boy for the team to dance to on the sidelines... or coordinating a team celebration and taunting the opposing squad in the endzone after a score? Me thinks he is a gimmick machine.

Well, if I am not mistaken in two of our four games Wilson has completed less than 50% of his passes and thrown for less than 100 yards.

One would think that an AWESOME running game would require the opponents to fill the box with extra defenders and allow an accurate and top-tier QB to salavate at the prospect of throwing the ball to WRs in single coverage all night.

Isn't it the thought that a play-action passing game is MORE effective when based off an AWESOME run game? I agree, we have the run part figured out. I do not buy in that Wilson is offering winning football from the QB position. Lord help us if we get in a contest where the passing game is not opened up by the run game.

 

[Guest]

I think that we will have another favorable ground game attack. I think that we will be able to manage/control the clock pretty easily. I predict a 250yd ground game with Coffee and Ingram close to 100 each.

Our offensive line dwarfs there defense. Just by watching GA play, I think their D is very quick but probable better suited for stopping a spread offense attack than a straight ahead run game. We will shine in this area.

If we don't give up too many big plays or too many turnovers, we will win easily. GA is ripe for the picking. Take a look at the South Carolina game.

Has the smell/overtone of FSU to me. Coincidence? I think not.

Why throw it when you can run the ball? USC couldn't even stop Oregon St. with 9 in the box. This whole 9 in the box thing is overrated and overused by the media. If your offensive line is good enough you can run against an 8 or 9 man front. If you line up with three wide recievers it is impossible for them to put 9 men in the box without leaving one uncovered. Passing just to pass is useless.

 

[RussB]

I think calling Mark Richt's recent interest in the psychological side of his football team is quite interesting, rather than gimmicky. Furthermore, it has worked in every case so far to pump up his team. They haven't scored less than forty points in the games where he employed one of these tactics.

Celebration in endzone vs Florida: 41-30 I think.
Blackout vs Auburn: 45-something embarrassing
Blackout vs Hawaii: Over 40-something also embarrassing


Blackout vs Alabama: embarrassing home loss, yeah!
Oh well can't work every time!

absolutely. Bama wins this game and Georgia is left asking questions about themselves and the overrated status.

Am not arguing the point that you should throw just for the sake of throwing. Feel no need to argue against a point I did not make.

Only that while we DO have an effective run game, that should make it easier to execute drop-back and play-action passing schemes.

But, the reality is that while we DO have an effective run game our current QB struggles terribly when called upon to strike down field with the passing game. If he is having such troubles WITH an effective run game to back him up, what gives anyone confidence he can be MORE effective in the passing game when and if our run game is NOT so effective.

If he has two times out of four completed less than 50% of his passing attempts (and mere 'drops by the WRs has not been the problem with the percentage) and thrown for less than 100-yards in those two games when the defenses are loading up the box with a safety (or two) and the WRs enjoying single coverage what exactly have you seen that would demonstrate he can be more effective when teams have over-the-top help with safeties?

At some point, our run game will not produce 300-, or 250-, or 200- yards, or even 150-yards and we will have to win with the arm of our QB. I am not confident.

That is my point.

I love the fact that every team we have played knew exactly where we were going to run the ball, yet they could do nothing about it.

Why do you think that at some point our run game won't produce 150yds or more?

Oh and JPW is 59% accurate Stafford is 60.8% granted Stafford has twice as many yards :lol:

 

[AFF]

Statistically, both QBs look pretty good. Neither one is making misktakes that give away ball games. Stafford has shown more ability to hit the deeper passes.

Alabama's defense just man-handled Arkansas, the number one passing offense in the SEC. Our secondary is playing with loads of confidence and they seem to be well coached being in the right place at the right time.

Both running games are pretty solid, but I think we have a decided edge with fresh legs, a better OL, several big play threats, and Mt. Cody on defense to stop their run up the middle.

They've got loads of talent. But, if we play like we have against 3 of our 4 oppenents this year, I think we win it.
