    Yep. UGA is the 2nd best team on our schedule and we played them at there place in their sec opener.

    Best case scenario, we finish 10-2. Worst case 8-4.

    Because we get them at home, our resume so far compares very favorably to theirs, we have more talent and better coaching, and all the computer models have us a better team?

    We won't beat any good defenses. Bama, AU= L. All others up for grabs. Arkansas D looks questionable but we don't have a home run threat this year. Everyone is keyed on Fitz run.

    Yep. I was wondering how long it would take.


    We're not winning at Auburn. The rest besides Bama are winnable. Will have to play well to win the Kentucky, A&M, and Arky games.



    Btw Bear.... We're beating ole miss, that's a given.

    Our offense is predicated not just on running the football but the QB making the right reads and making the right decisions. How many times did Blackledge say last week how impressed he was with Fitz’s decision making? A lot. How many did he say this week? Zero. A lot of those run plays Fitz wasn’t making the right decision. A lot of his decisions in the passing game were suspect as well. He still is very raw in his maturation process however he is learning. It’s possible playing at Georgia in front of a team that rejected him that he grew up a fan of in front of a ton of friends and family was a bit too much for him to take. He’s got to do a better job of taking what the defense gave him. I think had we done more screens to Williams, got the TE involved more, moved Gray around, put Thomas out wide on 18 and played more to our strengths we would have been more successful. We were a lot better last week because Fitz executed the gameplan better and we had a lot more variety in our playcalling last week. This week was more typical Coach Kline Dan that was predictable and easy for the defense to process along with Fitz inability to make the right reads within the offense.

    I was mainly referring to the home run ability that fitz showed last year. I don't think teams are worried about our rbs gaining 15-20 yards every now and then. When our rushing offense is working we can build off of it. But being predictable on 1st down took us to 3rd and long and we aren't built for 3rd and long right now. Especially against a good defense that can play man and rush the passer

    If Arkansas beats us, it's because we wanted to lose. They offer nothing that we don't have an answer for. OTOH, A&M has a much better chance to get us, if their heads aren't up their ass, and still have a coach. They have speed, they have a chance.

    If we play them after they play Alabama, we will beat them.

    I still think we beat them because they can't stop the run. If we do, 9-3. If we don't, 8-4
