Ga/Tenn who you got, who you want?

[CB4]

Bum Phillips had a saying (paraphrasing) “First you have to knock on the door. Then you have to bang on the door. Then finally you have to just kick the door in.”

The Vols, IMO, kind of “knocked” a little last year. This year, they are “banging” on the door, But I don’t think they are ready yet to “kick the door in”.

Reason I’m leaning UGA right now.

 

[jcabama]

Ain't skeered of neither one!! Win out and we're in. As I said in another post, really want Tn again and then again!! Ready to get the streak started over. Will choke back the hate and pull for the Viles to set up the revenge but believe that the Dawgs will likely win it at home.

CFN thinks UGA wins:

UGA

The Parousia

 

[Tidewater]

I look for Georgia to use ball control offense to keep the Vols offense on the sideline.I’ll take the Bowers and the Bulldogs to cover.Nobody on the field is as good as Bowers.

That guy seems to have a big "S" on his chest.

 

[BamaMoon]

UGA

The Parousia

That's strong!

 

[bamaga]

I want the Vols, but Georgia wins easily. They are home and won’t have 17 penalties. Only hesitation with Georgia is injuries. Nolan Smith is out, one of their backs is out, AD Mitchell is out. Georgia fans are already making excuses with Nolan Smith out. How Rich is that?

 

[allybama2009]

I have no idea on this 1. I just want the game to be extremely physical to wear each out. I think its close and Tenorcee probably pulls it out late. But.. I can see this go either way. Wont be betting on this game.

 

[bamadwain]

I think with Bower's and McConkey ( sp) even though UT defense has played some better I don't believe they can cover these two consistently Georgia wins!

 

[PA Tide Fan]

There is one area that should concern Georgia fans and that is the fact that their defense just isn't putting the pressure on opposing QB's like a year ago. A year ago they were ranked 8th in sacks per game but this season they are ranked 117th (the worst in the Kirby Smart era). I went back as far as 2004 and no team has won a NC with such a low total in sacks.Typically you need to be ranked in the top third in that category.. Bama is currently ranked 21st.

 

[Padreruf]

UGA will win...because it is in Athens. UT has the Offense, but not the Defense. And no, I do not bet...I worked too hard...

To paraphrase a notable coach, sacks aren’t everything and I believe UGA leads league in qb hurries. Like most of our opponents, theirs are getting rid of the ball quickly to save their qbs. Hope I’m wrong and UT pulls it off so we can crunch them in Atlanta but I’m not optimistic with the Dawgs at home.

 

[JustNeedMe81]

It's real easy. Play iin a package that prevents deep ball throws. Make Tennesse work their way up. They're dependent on quick hits... Take that away and Suddenly they're no longer a threat.

Kirby is not wanting sacks as much these days as he is wanting pressure on a QB while defensive players play proper containment. how many times do you see multiple players going for a sack and a QB like young pick up 20 yards on their feet.

 

[deliveryman35]

I think Georgia wins this one going away.

 

[CoachJeff]

This is a tough one. Strength on strength in a lot of wars.

Some things to consider:

Stetson Bennet has not played nearly as well in October as he did in September.
Stetson in Sept: 306 yards per game, 9 TDs, 1 INT, 9.9 yards per attempt, 74% completion
Stetson in Oct: 281 yards per game, 4 TDs , 2 INT, 7.9 yards per attempt, 62% completion
He had one rushing TD in each game in September and has one in the month of October.

UGA has been better running the ball though.

---

I would not be surprised by any outcome.

I can see UT beating UGA badly like Bama did in 2015. Stetson regresses and has a couple of turnovers and UT keeps pouring it on and makes UGA one dimensional.

I can see a close game.

I can see UGA playing competent defense and not shooting themselves in the foot and winning by double digits. If UGA can make avoid the costly mismatches in the secondary they should be okay.

--

I kind of would prefer UT win. If UT wins then UGA may be out of the playoffs. If Bama can make it through the rest of the season unscathed and plays UT again I feel better about a rematch. As bad as Golding is I don't think he can be as bad as he was the first time. The D should be better the second time around but I see no reason Bama won't be as good on offense.

I'd rather not play UGA. They are a good program with good coaches and have lots of experience. Brock Bowers is a nightmare. UT doesn't have anyone that's a mismatch like him.

 

[tusks_n_raider]

I think Tenn wins and I want Tenn to win even though I Hate them and I only strongly dislike UGA.

I WANT Tenn in the SECCG if Alabama can get there for a rematch.

It's still a Bad matchup for us wrt their Offense vs our Defense but I don't care.

I can't STAND that they just beat us....HATE IT

I'd rather Tenn win now and then Bama beat them in the SECCG.

None of it really matters though because UGA or Tenn could maybe still get in the CFBP playoff no matter who wins or loses this one depending oh how the other games go.

tOSU/Mich winner will get 1 spot

Clemson will get a 1 spot

TCU/Oregon/UGA/TENN will get 1 Spot

SECCG Winner will get 1 Spot (Hopefully that's Alabama)


If the SEC East winner also wins the SECCG then UGA and Tenn might BOTH get in the CFBP

There are so many variables still at play right now but the main thing is Alabama just HAS to Win out or none of us will care about any of it.

Good points, and here's something else to consider. If we get the rematch with Tennessee, our guys will be spitting fire for that game. Not only that, but knocking them out of the playoffs might be a real possibility.

 

[Joefus]

If Clemson loses to nd and tcu picks up a loss (v likely) it’ll be 1. Osu 2. Sec champ 3. Sec East runner up 4. Sec champ loser/Michigan in the playoffs. If a one loss michigan doesn’t get in I’d bet money we have a 12 team playoff 2024

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

One interesting stat i saw pointed out.

Latu had one of his better games against Tennessee with 90 yards on 6 receptions.

Imagine what Georgia's significantly more talented TEs could do against that same defense.
