re: Georgia's Run Defense

I think LSU wins this, but no way we beat them by 32 points in the UGA-partial Georgia dome.

LSU has done it before

you've watched UGA play mediocre competition all yr while LSU has dominated teams as good or better than anyone on your schedule

There's a better chance of LSU dominating than of UGA keeping it w/in 10 at the end of 4

No one is trying to insult anyone and it's not being homeristic to predict a 40 something to say 14 in this game. LSU has hung around 40 pts on every team they've played with the exception of 2. UGA has looked shaky in about every game they've played. They are in the SECCG because no one in the EAST wanted it. That whole division is down.
Murray is a bad arse, i really like him. If he takes more than 3 step drops during the game, he's in trouble.

Sure they'll be up for the game....So was just about every other team for the first half. Third quarter comes around and depth takes over. 5 RBs that can start most anywhere in DIV 1 are, ARE going to put up numbers of 150-200 yards. That 10-2 record just doesn't look impressive when you examine the entire body of work.

i think you need to go back and look at the points we have put on almost all of our opponents...even in the two losses...the UK game is the only exception...


this is why i think that LSU is held to a lower score...the 3-4...we run almost the same style of defense against the run that BAMA does...how did that work out for you guys?...yeah you got the W...but you didnt really dominate and score 40+...we have scored alot...and we truly run to pass...the LSU strength IS the run game...i give you that..but if the run is held..at least slowed down...the passing game is suspect...i like randle but dude, you guys don't throw the ball like we do...


and yes...a huge key to the game is protecting AM...but I think Ben Jones has been playing for this game his entire time at UGA and is ready to lead the BIGGEST O line in the SEC...


i think UGA has a good chance at staying in this one and keeping it close...just my opinion...

South Carolina also had a 6O-something yard rush on a fake punt in that game. Take that away and UGA did a decent job of stopping them.

Why would you take away that? Why would you take away anything? Every snap counts. That the fake punt worked illuminates a weakness in their team. Not only does Miles have a great record of fakes and trick plays, he also has a great record against other teams' tricks - just ask Bama.

We gave up 200 to SC and one was a 70 yard fake punt, so 130 essentially.

Vandy's QB was new to us and we didn't have much film so he scrambled for probably 60+ yards against us.

Ga Tech is Ga Tech. You guys keep saying all this garbage about how our Run Defense is overrated, but you didn't look at how they got the runs. You're a true running team and you have extremely deep talented RB's. We will see what happens, but judging our defense based on a game that was so early in the season is short sighted.

It should be relatively low-scoring simply because both teams like to run it. That burns up clock.

UGA gave up 9 more total yards (1252 to 1243).
UGA gave up 484 more passing yards (1127 to 643).
UGA gave up 460 fewer rushing yards (122 to 582).

Against Ole Miss (52.37 for LSU and 79.39 for UGA).
Against Miss St (91.38 for LSU and 85.43 for UGA).
Against Auburn (106.35 for LSU and 110.41 for UGA).
Against Kentucky (63.38 for LSU and 81.19 for UGA).
Against Florida (104.38 for LSU and 105.53 for UGA).
Against Tennessee (63.76 for LSU and 115.90 for UGA).


These are some stats i found on another site. I personally think that it will be a close game with the score being 21 17 LSU victory, but here are some stats versus comparable opponents.

Did you notice the common teams records to date?

Ole Miss couldn't fight their way out of a bag. Moo St hit the skids early in the season. Auburn, don't even know how they hung on to a rank. Kentucky is Kentucky. Florida is a shadow of what they used to be. And TN likewise. TN lost to Kentucky!

Georgia only scored 1, 1 TD against Kentucky. Y'all should've tore them up.

We started a walk on at RB and still controlled the game to ensure victory. Not a pretty victory, but a victory all the same. O and those walk on RB's fumbled the ball 2-3 times when we were knocking on the endzone
