We are a trendy pick. If they had beaten ND last week vs two weeks ago it would go the other way. Either way, I think it's a war Saturday night.

We're more physical than them and hit way harder. Only question is, can they do it on the road without the energy from the crowd?

Our DL vs their OL is the biggest mis-match for either team in the game.

If our D-line plays like they did against LSU, we should dominate their OL and possibly shut their offense down. Their OL is not very good.

Did you see Smart get asked a tough question about the OL issues yesterday? He answered the question like a dick. Evidently the OL performance is a worry for Saturday.

It should be and their weakest part of their OL is their interior line which is where Jeffrey Simmons will be. As I stated earlier if our DL plays like it did against LSU, we will shut their offense down.

I think that's where playing Louisiana Tech in Ruston might help. That atmosphere was not exactly "lit". And we got down 9-0. But while Georgia will obviously be more hostile, it's at least something that our guys have a little bit of experience with.

Athens is a little more golf clap and a little less rowdy IMO. I been to games there when GameDay was in town and it was still just meh... it'll be better than LaTech obviously, especially from a noise standpoint, but it's not like Starkville or Tiger Stadium where teams can feel the walls closing in on them.

I'm glad someone else dosen't think Athens isn't all that from a gameday experience. I don't find anything about it intimidating. They are probably the quietest 90,000+ seat stadium in the SEC

Alabama, except when they pipe in crowd noise over the upper deck loudspeakers. Anyone that has sat up there for a game, you know what I am talking about.

Incorrect. Athens will be loud. It will not be golf clap.

It'll be louder than most stadiums. It's just not the same as Davis Wade or Tiger Stadium.
Just like Tennessee is loud, but it's not rowdy. There's a huge difference.

Agree. Watched us play Georgia "Between the Hedges" in 2011 and the atmosphere was pretty tame despite Georgia dominating the game pretty much from beginning to end. Late arriving crowd, Granted it was a 12 eastern kickoff but still no excuse for the stadium being a little more than half full at kick and for the level of crowd noise more fitting for a tennis match rather than an SEC football game. They left early too and I know it was a blowout but with all the students streaming out at half, I thought I was in Oxford

Yep. They're going to get brutalized with either a young freshman QB or a guy coming back from a knee sprain. That spells potential disaster for them. I also think we can run the football on any team in America. I've never felt that way before.
Herby just said that auburn "& maybe Mississippi State" may be the only challenge to Bama this year.

Agree. If we can run it Saturday night, we are going places.
I bet we get a defensive score in this game.
To add: I think we may be able to run it but we'll have to run it differently than we did vs LSU. As Matt Wyatt's video showed, LSU really struggled to set the edge which allowed us to violate the outside.
My guess is that UGA will specifically prepare for that and we'll have to scheme them in a different way.

They may do like Denver did Dallas- stack the box and make Fitz beat them throwing the ball.

Of course they will but it is more difficult than that. LSU stacked the box as well and it didnt matter.
Additionally, Fitz's improvement in the short to intermediate passing game makes stacking the box risky.
TE may be wide open.
