Crimson Red Sports

We beat the barn 49-0 and Chiz has been fired. I am sick of talking about them.

We have an SEC Championship Game to play next Saturday. The winner will face Notre Dame in the BCS Championship Game. At the beginning of the year this is were we wanted to be. UGA is playing well and this is their best chance for a championship since 1982.

UGA has a good QB in Aaron Murray and two good freshmen running backs. They have a good defense that is loaded with NFL talent. How do we stack up against them? What are your thoughts on the game?

We are the home team and should wear crimson. We are an early 7.5 favorite.

I don't believe in that in 7.5 points junk. I think our defense is better than theirs but the offenses seem to equal out to me. Good runners and good QB same as us. I think the kicking game is what be the telling factor. Who can flip the field best and hit FG's early and late. The turnovers is really going to play big in this. We need to jump out as early as possible. RTR!

UGA's signature win was over UF 17-9. The Gators had 6 turnovers.

The win over Florida is the only win over a top team UGA has had with Aaron Murray as QB. It seems like Murray has been there forever but this is his third year as the starter. UGA was beaten bad by South Carolina. The next best teams they played was Vandy and Ole Miss.

I'm hearing that we will be in the whites, but that's ok. We are undefeated wearing those the last 2 years.

I really think the back laceration that AJ suffered against MSU had very real affect on him for the LSU and aTm games. Looking at the last 2 games, I think he has recovered. I think AJ is a better QB than Murray and the game will come down between the 2. If AJ plays the way he has the last 2 weeks, I think it will be Bama big. The "D" may need to play its best game of the year, but I don't think UGA can stop our offense.

You are correct. UGA is the home team so we will wear white.

Which 3 coaches do you think Auburn is looking at the hardest to replace Chiznik?

UGA vs. UF is the only game wehave to analyze UGA against real competition except for their loss to USCe. The Gators had 6 turnovers but I believe UGA had 3. Also UGA had about 130 yds in penalties. This game was poorly played by both teams. This was a big stage and BOTH teams choked.

UGA had 273 yds of offense against UF's defense. Our defense is better. Gurley had around 120 yds rushing, which he can forget about against Bama. Driskell (UF) had an above .500 day but threw 2 picks. AJ will do better.

If you play a team that has 6 turnovers and 100 yds in penalties a good team should win by more than 1 score.

I don't know the names of Hollywood actors/ singers, etc. but isn't Aron Murray Justin Beiber's girlfriend?

I'm not too worried about what Georgia can or can not do. Bama is a better team than Georgia and the only way they lose is that they don't play to their potential like they did against Texas A&M. It wasn't A&M that beat them, they beat themselves.

Good points, since I forgot about all the turnovers.  UGA has played a very marshmellow schedule, so naturally their defense has looked good. Still, I think they play us hard in what is almost a home game for them in Atlanta. I see us winning 24-16, 31-17, or something like that. We can not be turning the ball over, period.

Every week you get a different team.  So ultimately, the team that scores the most points, the team that goes out and executes the best in that one game, wins. 

I don't think looking at Georgia's "body of work" tells the whole story.  They have been improving as the season has gone on, and as Spurrier likes to point out, they didn't field some of their best players in their early games, including USCe.  If they come out and play their best game, then all bets are off.  I don't think we've seen their best game.  But if Bama plays like it is capable, then it won't matter what GA does.

Bama has some big advantages, including a better coaching staff, and players with experience in big games.  Looking at how Georgia played in its biggest games, Florida and USCe, Bama should eat them for lunch.  I expect Georgia players to be nervous in this, the biggest game of their careers.  Bama players have been in bigger games.  Hopefully AJ head and body are back to 100%, because we'll need that gunslinger that dominated LSU in last year's BCSCG, and took apart teams for much of this season, up until the LSU and TAMU games.  That's the guy who will win another national championship.

Bama better find a pass rush.  AM may not be that mobile, but the can throw the ball.  Combine,no pass rush with time to throw the ball spell trouble.  Look at the A&M game as well as LSU.

Bingo! That has been our D weak spot all year. I am sure Saban will come up with something. I hope.

I would be surprised to see VS in coverage in this game unless the coaches thinks he can match up with someone.

Good point. I think we see mostly Lester, Milliner, Clinton-Dix, Belue, Geno Smith, John Fulton, & Nick Perry and only see Sunseri on special teams and maybe running plays.



 :popcorn2:

On paper, Bama is a better team and should win easily.  The reality is that anything can happen in a game like this.  Georgia's passing game matches up well for them against Bama's pass defense.  They may be able to score 20+ points, so our boys will have to score some points.  I don't think that will be a problem though.  I expect a final score in the neighborhood of 31-21 Bama. 

Honestly UGA really hasn't played anyone of Bama's caliber. To me that UF/UGA game was quite boring...one only has to look @ their schedule to figure this out. jmo

The schedule does look weak. I know USCe really took them behind the woodshed. Our kickers to me will make a difference when they flip the field. I know one thing if they put that mean old Pagan in there he may not sack him but he will scare him to death. RTR!

Well according to Jesse Palmer this morning, Notre Dame should be hoping to get Bama in the championship, as they matchup better with us than UGA. This is because JP believes that UGA is more athletic and throws better, and that Bama depends on the run consistently. I thought to myself, "Oh right, I forgot how CNS tends to bring in guys with no skills, and that AJ isn't able to throw the ball at all."  :eyeroll:

Then right after that in the next discussion he gave Alabama the edge in Atlanta because AJ is a better QB with big game experience, completely contradicting everything he just said about Georgia having a better passing game.

???

:lol:  I noticed that too. 

The other guy said that Bama matches up favorably with Notre Dame, because ND relies on a power rushing game, and Bama's defense is very well designed to stop the run.

I think UGA could give bama trouble if they stick to the LSU and A&M game plan, short throws and march down the field...but UGA's bobo is not that smart, so i think Bama takes them to the wood shed. :pray:

Well Georgia has 2 RB's that are great. I think they could run the ball with the OL. I also think that Murray could out pass us even if the OL was getting beat every time. He does not need all that beef machine to help him pass to his WR's. Georgia is so complete I know because Jesse Palmer said they was. RTR!

Offense: Keep the ball and run the clock. Score something on 1/2 of our possessions. No penalties or turnovers. Play field position football.

Defense: No big plays. Make them run. Yes, that's what I said. Make them run. I have more faith in our DL and linebackers to close off the run in a pass-defense package than I do the corners and safeties stopping big pass plays in a run-defense package.
