I just don't see how a one-dimensional offense that could only muster three points against L8U scores 13 against Bama.I think that State is feisty, but there shouldn't be any logical reason that they can beat us. 34-13 was my score and I will stick to that.

Remember, this is the same offense as last year and they scored 24 against a better Alabama defense. When Fitz gets hot, he is very good. He has been hot the last 2 games.I just don't see how a one-dimensional offense that could only muster three points against L8U scores 13 against Bama.
He has?Remember, this is the same offense as last year and they scored 24 against a better Alabama defense. When Fitz gets hot, he is very good. He has been hot the last 2 games.
Yes - look it up. Against aTm and La Tech (which has a surprisingly decent defense) he played lights out.He has?
Totally agree about Fitz and we'll see which one of him shows up. On the defense, at the beginning of this year, we could all say last year's defense was better. As of this week, compared to this week last year, I'd say this year's is better. Not just based on the L8U performance, but the fact that last year's defense was decimated with injuries going into the MSU game.Remember, this is the same offense as last year and they scored 24 against a better Alabama defense.

we all feel the same on this one. We all feel more concern about being in a physical brawl 7 days prior. Not that MSU couldn't give us a scare or even beat us on a given day...but I do think it will be another brawl. As far as I know..our guys are sore and bruised as is usually the case coming in off a win in Bryant Denny West. Need Ruggs, Tua, Najee, Smith, and Jeudy all ready to run by Saturday. Ain't EVEN a good time to lay an egg now.Go Bama boys!! :BigA:I just don't see how a one-dimensional offense that could only muster three points against L8U scores 13 against Bama.
10/27- 241 yards and ran for 88 against TAMUYes - look it up. Against aTm and La Tech (which has a surprisingly decent defense) he played lights out.
It’s his receivers, not so much him.Remember, this is the same offense as last year and they scored 24 against a better Alabama defense. When Fitz gets hot, he is very good. He has been hot the last 2 games.
He's like Burrow - against sub-par defenses he looks pretty good, but against real defenses, not so much. He's not a serious passing threat.Remember, this is the same offense as last year and they scored 24 against a better Alabama defense. When Fitz gets hot, he is very good.

I agree. I was making a different point but it doesn't matter. I think that they will score, but not nearly enough. That is all that really matters.He's like Burrow - against sub-par defenses he looks pretty good, but against real defenses, not so much. He's not a serious passing threat.
Last year, Fitzgerald went 13/24 for 158 yards and 0 TDs. MSU only amassed 330 yards of offense. The game was close because the dominated TOP, basically because they put a ton of guys in the box and dared us to beat them passing.
So I’m guessing that you agree with me that UGA has a subpar defenseHe's like Burrow - against sub-par defenses he looks pretty good, but against real defenses, not so much. He's not a serious passing threat.

Coming out of the LSU game relatively healthy compared to last year was big. Najee may be the only questionable player this week on the team. Like you said, I want this one over at halftime if possible. Don't let them hang around.Seems this MSU team is difficult to figure out.
On the face of it the strategy seems obvious. "Punch Nick Fitzgerald in the mouth anytime he tucks the ball and make him pass."
But something just makes it feel not that simple. He's erratic with his passing but he has been able to do it. It's like the ability is there. And he's not like Burrow or most of the other QB's we've faced this season where he regresses the more you hit him. He's a big strong guy who can take some licks.
Keep in mind that they've also likely downgraded at the coaching position. Dan Mullen punched way above his weight limit there. Despite having maybe the best defense in college football Moorehead has found a way to lose multiple games.
We've seen Fitzgerald hurt us, but I think that was more a byproduct of an excellent gameplan and a completely inept offense on our side of the ball. Factor in our completely depleted defensive personnel and it's no surprise this was a struggle and that we coughed up the following Auburn game.
We are unlikely to have that issue this year. To be honest I'm not even sure how close this one is. I think if we bring back those jet sweeps with Ruggs and Jeudy to negate their D-line rush and occasionally fake those as a sort of play-action pass where Tua can zero in on their secondary I think we see this one over at the half.
