Another week so time to pick the score. I figure this will be a whatever score you want it to be type games. I think GA State is 0-4 so I expect the second string to play a lot in this game.

Alabama wins 41-0

We usually don't have a shutout against teams you are suppose to shut out. I am sure our 2nd or 3rd team defense will allow them to get down to the red zone. And instead of going on 4th, Ga State will want the points.

Interesting fact:

Georgia State is the lowest ranked 1A team in the country, per Jeff Sagarin.

Another interesting note is that Sagarin includes 1AA schools in his ranking as well.

So, Georgia State's overall ranking?
#208 (there are only 120 1A schools)

That means there are 89 1AA schools considered better than them.


I'll be honest, even with us actively TRYING not to run up the score, it will be hard not to. We may be taking knees for the entire 4th quarter.

Alabama 63, GSU 0

This is exactly what I was going to post. It will be hard to tell the 3rd team not to score anymore points.

Georgia St has the ball in Alabama territory one time off of a turnover. They don't score.

53-0.

Your defense will outscore their offense. Their only chance to put any points on the board is a busted play. They have had players quit this season, so poor is their team. In fact, 2 of their offensive linemen quit after their loss to Chattanooga in which they only had 30 yards rushing. Yeah, Chattanooga.

You win by as much as you want - probably more than you want.

I hate these games - it's humiliating for the lesser team and does nothing for us other than risk injury.

You guys beat them 63-7 in 2010. Their 7 points came on a 97 yard KO return. Your backup QB came into the game late in the 2nd Qtr (McCarron), but he only attempted 9 passes. You essentially tried not to score and still scored 21 points in the 2nd half.

You can start saying "we" now. Even if "we" are your second team. :)

It's time to work some of those guys who are deep on the bench.
You never know when we may find another 'Diamond in the rough'.
