JD is obviously our best weapon. We obviously have talent could we give them a game?

I don’t think any team in the country matches up well with UGA this year unfortunately

We don’t, and that’s honestly ok. Just getting a shot at them is enough.

This will be revenge for 2018 and 2019.

I don’t know if UGA will repeat, but they should make the dance.

Our defense would have to force a couple turnovers and give our offense great field position. Stetson isn’t a world beater either. Don’t get me wrong it’s a tough task but I don’t think it’s as far fetched as people think. Georgia hasn’t faced a defense as good as ours all season. They’re beatable.

We can’t let up. We need to keep improving every week to have any shot at all against UGA. My father is a Tenn fan and I told him before they played Bama “I think UT vs Bama is 50/50…………but the game you really need to worry about is UGA”.

Georgia is a better scheme matchup than UT, but they still have a LOT more talent than we do and they are playing more physical and disciplined than Bama.

UT is a nightmare for us because of how they stretch the field vertically and use tempo. It makes it very hard on our thin secondary, especially since we don’t have as much speed there are we are all used to. Their ability to run the football makes it very hard to just focus on the passing game.

The way UGA plays is a better fit for our defense’s strengths, but they would still be difficult to stop. I also think it would be very tough to move the ball against their defense consistently, especially after seeing what they did to UT. It would be an uphill battle and we would need them to not play their best and make some mistakes.

That front 7 is what worries me the most, don't get me wrong what Kelly and our oline have done from game one til now is remarkable but I think they would smother us and that's ok they have been recruiting like the 2010 Alabama teams for a couple years.

A few more classes for Kelly and I have a feeling it's going to be lsu and uga to decide the SEC. Going to be one hell of a ride

Honestly I'd rather face Georgia than Tennessee again.

I have a feeling whoever they face in Atlanta isn’t getting that effort. Also- great teams still find a way to win when they are off.

It will be interesting to see our speed guys vs their size on defense. Also our WRs seem to be finding holes in the middle of the defense. We are not a long ball team but we have size at Wr and TE.

UGA has been the most complete team in college football for the last two seasons.

That doesn't mean we can't win the game. Just means it will be hard. Can't make mistakes, have to execute.

Im trying to figure out how the CFP handles a 2 loss SEC champion with a 1 loss Georgia and 1 loss Tennessee

Call me crazy but I think we match up better against them than we did against Tennessee.

UGA doesn’t have the elite guys on the outside to take advantage of our lack of shutdown corners. So the secondary can really focus on Bowers.

Their top wide receiver, McConkey, would be Tennessee’s 3rd or 4th (Hyatt, McCoy, Tillman, maybe White).

I think the key would be moving Perkins all over the field. Tenn just seemed to line up and didn’t disguise their looks. When they all out blitzed they telegraphed it. Bennet is 5’11 and if we could get in his throwing lanes we might could disrupt him. This team just seems to trust the coaches a lot more than past teams.

Georgia and us go...tenner stays behind crying even though they beat us head to head n 1 loss Georgia goes as SEC 1 loss runner up who beat Tennessee. If we handle business getting to Atlanta and if we pull of the victory in Atlanta. Us if 2 loss SEC Champs would not be declined

Every game we learn, tweak and perform just a little better.

I don't take the rest of our schedule lightly. Anyone who does is a fool. And winning out isn't a guarantee, those leg humpers over in college station would love nothing more than to throw a monkey wrench into our season.

If we get to Atlanta, I don't think it matters who we play, it will be a close, good game regardless with LSU having a punchers chance. PERIOD.
