Ga/Tenn who you got, who you want?

One thing to allow for is Stetson Bennett is not a Young/ Hooker but he seems to always play better when he's not talked about and seems like all the talk is on UT and Hooker! I have a funny feeling Bennett plays one heck of a game

I like this plan the best, and here's why:

1. Take away our horrible anamoly of a 1st quarter in Knoxville, and we win.
2. Have some real referees, and we win.
3. Know to line Reichard up better for a kick, and we win.
4. Have the experience of playing them already, and we win.

Everyone seems to be forgetting one thing: regardless of how great UT looks this year, they still just BARELY escaped us in their own house. Take away ANY of the things that went wrong for us, and we would have won.

This isn't sour grapes, and I hate playing "coulda-shoulda-woulda," but facts are facts.

I agree and will add that if we figure out even a partial answer to the coverage failures from the last time around, along with the other things you mentioned, we’ll own them—twice if needed.

Wish they could both lose, but...

I dislike UGA, but I hate UTK with the white-hot heat of 10,000 suns.

GO DAWGS!

I want Tennessee to win but I think Georgia will win.

I’m with you on the hatred of the Viles but Georgias secondary is suspect. Jamo torched em last year an was well on his way to doing it again before he got hurt in the national championship game. Speed kills and I don’t think Georgia has an answer for Hyatt an the Viles win.

UGA has more experience in pressure games, and weapons that are mismatches for the UT defense....especially with their TE group. If Thurston-Howell III doesnt throw INTs then UGA wins...their defense is legit up front which will hold the UT run game and that makes Hooker a thrower...he's ok, but has shown in the past at VaTech he is prone to INTs.

Thurston Howell III … bwahahaha!! I needed this today

 

[colbysullivan]

UT will have no answer for UGA’s tight ends. UGA has the athletes on the edge to pressure Hooker and the secondary to shut down Hyatt.
UGA by at least 14.

 

[westide]

I agree with a post I saw on another board. I don't think the Vol secondary can handle Georgia's tight ends. I believe Ga will also have success running the ball. A balanced offensive attack that controls the clock is the best defense to the Vol's offense.

 

[Ole Man Dan]

I want Georgia, because if we win out, we can be the WEST Champion, and play Ga, or Tn. for all the marbles, then we could win ourselves back into the playoffs.
BUT...
From what I've seen lately. None of that will be easy. We have a playoff committee that would prefer we don't make THE BIG SHOW.

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.

Yep. Young guys rush the QB like their helmet is on fire, arrive at the QB fast but completely out of control, the QB dips a shoulder as the pass rusher goes sailing past, then the QB takes off.

I think a tie would be hilarious.

Looking at Georgia's schedule so far.....its amazing that they have played absolutely no one outside of an opening day rout of Oregon. I'd bet if they played that game this Saturday it wouldn't be the blow out it was then. But look at this:

49-3 Oregon (7-1)
33-0 Samford
48-7 at South Carolina (5-3)
39-22 Kent State (3-6)
26-22 at Missouri (4-4)
42-10 Auburn (3-5)
55-0 Vanderbilt (3-5)
42-20 Florida (4-4)

That's a lot of bad to mediocre teams.

Georgia is #94 on strength of schedule
Tenn. is #24

I know I am in enemy territory, but Alabama has not beaten a currently ranked team yet this season. All of Alabama's current wins are from teams that are 5-3 or worse

Alabama gets Ole Miss and LSU to complete the season though and Georgia just gets tennessee, but tennessee and oregon are two top 10 teams

strength of schedule is always a weird argument for me though. Most of us all agree the SEC has the best teams, so does that not make it the hardest schedule regardless?

My point is....Georgia hasn't really been challenged. Alabama was and lost.

Georgia only because I can’t stand to see Tutorsee win a game! LOL

Texas is #24. I know it's not much but they are ranked.

I mean yeah, but remember most of those teams aren’t ranked simply because Bama beat them…

Structural failure of the facility.

seriously though, I’ll be a Bulldog today.

Big game with SEC Championship and playoff implications for us. Ga is favored and IMO will probably cover and go on to represent the SEC east. However, since this has SEC championship implications, wouldn't we fare better against Tenn since we have already played them and we have a better idea what to expect?

Tennessee is playing.....Kansas City right? I expect Kansas City wins.
