Georgia/Alabama

[RocketDawg]

Might as well have a separate thread for an important game.

Tide already being stressed.

[RocketDawg]

Georgia punter is slow to kick the ball. He's going to have one blocked if that's his normal speed.

[MBDawg601]

Georgia looks like the tide teams before they ran the spread. Scary physical.

[KOdawg1]

Bama is so good at disguising coverages.

[Dak Holliday]

Bennett looks like he can get rattled easily. He hasn?t seen too many sacks. If Bama can put a hat on him often, I can see him being the key to a Bama victory.

[Catfish]

Georgia ball control. Lot of time off the clock.

[MBDawg601]

One thing for sure. This is going to be a downright dog fight. I hope this game keeps the intensity.

Another good one is Houston Cincy.

[Dak Holliday]

Bowers in the injury tent. He would be a huge loss

[Catfish]

One thing for sure. This is going to be a downright dog fight. I hope this game keeps the intensity.

Another good one is Houston Cincy.

Houston hanging tough!

[Dak Holliday]

I wish these two games weren?t on at the same time. I?d have rather watched Cin/Hou over OKS/Bay

[Dak Holliday]

Wonder if JWill covers any punts today?!? 😂

[Catfish]

I wish these two games weren?t on at the same time. I?d have rather watched Cin/Hou over OKS/Bay

Me too!

[msstate7]

Remember when shotgun said dean made a mistake going to Georgia? Lol

[Dak Holliday]

Remember when shotgun said dean made a mistake going to Georgia? Lol

OM and MSU made a mistake by not putting a bigger bag out there. He should never have gotten out of the Magnolia State.

[KOdawg1]

Remember when shotgun said dean made a mistake going to Georgia? Lol

I'm just glad he didn't go to OM. That dude is a dude

[msstate7]

Saban's reign may end today

[MBDawg601]

Bama defense is going to be slap wore out if the offense can't string together drives.

[Dak Holliday]

There will be some foolish Gumps calling for Bama to move from him if he loses today. It?s the craziest thing I?ve ever seen, but it?s human nature.

[Vandownbytheriver]

I'm just glad he didn't go to OM. That dude is a dude

I don't understand why he's not getting Heisman love. He's better than the big dude they are pushing.

[MBDawg601]

Lol, you're exactly right. Heads will roll, but it won't be Saban. Coordinators will be yoinked.

[Dak Holliday]

Great block by the RB. He got them that TD

[MBDawg601]

Bama always has the fastest receivers. It is insane.

[msstate7]

Saban's reign may end today

But it won't be easy

[Dak Holliday]

Bama always has the fastest receivers. It is insane.

Didn?t they sign 4 of the top 10 WR in the signing class before last?

[99jc]

Georgia loses today Kirby may jump off a building.

[Dak Holliday]

Bama can take the momentum here. Big TD and stop. TD here would be huge

[Dak Holliday]

UGA is vulnerable on big plays

[MBDawg601]

Cincy has a kicker with similar stats as ours. Just missed another.

[Dak Holliday]

Cincy has a kicker with similar stats as ours. Just missed another.

🤮

[Dak Holliday]

What a play by Brice Young. That lateral was a thing of beauty

[Dak Holliday]

Wow. Bama is definitely here to win

[MBDawg601]

Saban has the death stare going. Buckle up.

[msstate7]

What a play by Brice Young. That lateral was a thing of beauty

He's a stud qb

[BayouDawg]

If kirby gets pantsed by saban again this year then I dont know if he ever gets over the hump.

[Dak Holliday]

UGA hasn?t been challenged all year. I wonder how they handle someone going punch for punch with them? Bama has struggled some and their resolve is strong.

[Percho]

Say Heisman

[MBDawg601]

This shows you just how much of a gauntlet the west was this year. People think Bama is down. I have said all year, the west is TOUGH. Top to bottom.

[Dak Holliday]

If Bama wins, Young deserves the Heisman

[Dak Holliday]

This shows you just how much of a gauntlet the west was this year. People think Bama is down. I have said all year, the west is TOUGH. Top to bottom.

Agree

[Dak Holliday]

Bennett getting rattled

[99jc]

Watching the Cincinnati game, they would get beat by every team in the SEC west.

[KOdawg1]

Did we really think Bama would just fold?

Saban is the greatest of all time for a reason

[MBDawg601]

I wonder if they ride Bennett or we see Daniels? I know it's early, but if Bama scores here... defense is going to be out of gas.

[Dak Holliday]

TD here and it?s over. If Bama goes up 21-10 before the half, they roll through the rest of it. UGA looks to be on the verge of crumbling.

[BayouDawg]

The fact that Georgia is starting a walk-on at qb is just dumb. How bad has their qb recruiting been?

[R2Dawg]

This shows you just how much of a gauntlet the west was this year. People think Bama is down. I have said all year, the west is TOUGH. Top to bottom.

Bama is down. SECW is balanced. UGA getting outcoached again right now.

[MBDawg601]

Watching the Cincinnati game, they would get beat by every team in the SEC west.

I agree. If they make it in. They will be the Notre Dame/Oklahoma of the playoff. Get blown out in the semis and nothing will be said.

We need

UGA
Michigan

Bama
Baylor

That's the only way to have a competitive playoff.

[KOdawg1]

Watching the Cincinnati game, they would get beat by every team in the SEC west.

So let's play a hypothetical scenario.

Let's say Houston beats Cincy, and UGA comes back to beat Bama. I'll assume Michigan wins too.

Who gets spots #3 and #4?

Notre Dame probably gets one. So it comes down to a 1 loss Cincy, a 2 loss Bama, a 2 loss Ohio State, a 2 loss conference champion in Baylor, and a 2 loss Oklahoma State who lost to Baylor. Who takes that spot?

[MBDawg601]

Baylor and a 2 loss Bama. That would be the 4 best teams.

I doubt it goes like that though.

[Dak Holliday]

Bama is down. SECW is balanced. UGA getting outcoached again right now.

Bama is down by Bama standards. Let?s not act as if they weren?t still head and shoulders the most talented team in the West. I agree that Saban is coaching circles around Kirby.

Young is putting on a show.

Bama
They find a way not to have UGA play Bama again back to back, though, so ND comes in at 4.

[RocketDawg]

Bama, they way they're playing right now. Baylor's too far out of the picture to make the top 4.

[R2Dawg]

Bama is down by Bama standards. Let?s not act as if they weren?t still head and shoulders the most talented team in the West. I agree that Saban is coaching circles around Kirby.

Young is putting on a show.

Never said Bama wasn't talented. Talent and on the field performance ain't the same thing. Bama has been average all year - Florida, LSU, TAMU, UT, AU. Bama standards is all there is, not comparing to MSU standards.

[99jc]

i am drinking to much to answer that question

[VandelayIndustries]

Just here to say SEC East was hot garbage this year

[BayouDawg]

Kirby gonna have to go the Saban route and stop meddling in the offense and actually run a modern offensive scheme if he wants a natty.

[BayouDawg]

That was a BS holding call on 86

[99jc]

it so enjoyable watching both georgia fans and Bama fans in anguish whe the other team scores

[RougeDawg]

Watching this game and how close the games in the west were, it?s not even close between the two divisions. The west was the most competitive this year it has been on a while and every team below Bama could beat any other on any given Saturday. Just look at who beat who. Lsu and auburn had down years by their records but could have easily had a few more wins. State too. With just a little luck in a few games, someone else could have won the west and the west winner is stone walking the #1 team right now.

[RougeDawg]

You think the dogs in both states are hiding under the trailers until about 5 pm tomorrow?

[MBDawg601]

It is very clear, these are the two best teams in the country and it's not even close.

[RocketDawg]

The Metchie kid is pretty good as well.

[MBDawg601]

That move by Bryce young... my god.

[MBDawg601]

The Metchie kid is pretty good as well.

I pray he is okay.

[RocketDawg]

That move by Bryce young... my god.

Don't know how he managed to recover that ball.

[RocketDawg]

Where is the famous Georgia defense?

[Catfish]

Bama gonna Bama!

[99jc]

yep young wins Heisman and i win another drink.

[MBDawg601]

Bama has the 2 minute drill down to a science.

[BayouDawg]

Kirby keeps doing the same damn thing every play. Brings pressure that never gets there while he knows Bama is going max protect.

[Pinto]

Kirby just can?t beat Saban. Daddy has that mental edge over his son. Son?s team is better but son can?t get out of his on way and is scared to really take it to daddy. Kirby needs to take a note out of Jimbos playbook. Call your shot early and make yourself and your team believe it. Kirby and UGA just don?t think/believe they can beat Saban/Bama.

[basedog]

All about adjustments for Ga. But Bama is motivated and looks like Bama again.

[MBDawg601]

I hope Kirby's halftime speech is leaked.

[RocketDawg]

Same as Mullen?

[Dak Holliday]

Bama has the best HC and worst Co-Ordinators. If Saban gets someone solid that he can keep for 4 yrs? OMG

[MBDawg601]

Did anyone watch Don on gameday?

[RocketDawg]

All about adjustments for Ga. But Bama is motivated and looks like Bama again.

Must have been quite a week in Tuscaloosa.

[Dak Holliday]

All about adjustments for Ga. But Bama is motivated and looks like Bama again.

He needs Bobby Bouchier to come in. Kirby looking for anyone to come in and save him.

[BrunswickDawg]

I tell my UGA friends this every year - they have a cake walk in the East. They would get worn down in the West just like the rest of us do.

[Commercecomet24]

Can't ever count out Saban they treating Uga bad right now lol

[MBDawg601]

I'm glad Bama does this to everyone.

I thought it was just our secondary.

[Commercecomet24]

I tell my UGA friends this every year - they have a cake walk in the East. They would get worn down in the West just like the rest of us do.

This! We are a way better team than what some of our fans give us credit for too. This year we would've been a 2-3 loss team or better in every other conference unfortunately the sec west is the nfl minor league

[MBDawg601]

440 total yards for Bama. Unreal.

[Commercecomet24]

Bryce Young is making Uga look
like a Jr high defense

[Catfish]

Heisman moments?

[parabrave]

Oh yeah take UGA and the under when in the back of my mind I knew Smart would choke quicker than Mukken.

[Commercecomet24]

Heisman moments?

Votes are already in. This one doesn't count.

I do agree though young is showing out.

[basedog]

Young is much better than Bennett.
Ga is physical but the speed Bama has is like no other in the country.
Bama being Bama!

[BayouDawg]

I thought Georgia may be able buck the recent trend of needing an elite quarterback to win it all. But it looks like that trend is here to stay. Kirby not having a qb is coaching malpractice. Les miles level

[Saltydog]

Might as well have a separate thread for an important game.

Tide already being stressed.

Difference in this game comes down to the QB's! I haven't been awed by Bennett all year! Corso said earlier today that the QB play was why he picked Bama! He was right!

[SailingDawg]

Heisman moments?

Heisman moments.

[parabrave]

I thought Georgia may be able buck the recent trend of needing an elite quarterback to win it all. But it looks like that trend is here to stay. Kirby not having a qb is coaching malpractice. Les miles level
Bennett proving that against good defenses you have to have a QB that is Mobile and can make plays with his feet to either run for yardage or extend the play for someone to get open. Plus it helps when you have elite receivers.

[KOdawg1]

If Bama holds on, we'll get a rematch.

Probably in the national championship. Bama will move #1, Michigan stays at #2, UGA down to #3, Cincy at #4.

Bama will dismantle Cincy, and UGA will beat Michigan.

[IncessantCowbellRinger]

So stupid not to kick a field goal there.

[R2Dawg]

This! We are a way better team than what some of our fans give us credit for too. This year we would've been a 2-3 loss team or better in every other conference unfortunately the sec west is the nfl minor league

Thing is we should have been a 1 loss team this year.

[R2Dawg]

UGA doing their best MSU impression. 2 Red zone visits in second half with no points.

Also UGA with the major choke job today.

[Maverick91]

What is wrong with Daniels?

[RocketDawg]

I'm glad Bama does this to everyone.

I thought it was just our secondary.

Notice that Bama did to Georgia what they do to us and everybody else, and do it before we know it - score two or three TDs in a very short time.

[R2Dawg]

What is up with Bama OL? They have been average all year and sucked last week?

[RocketDawg]

What is wrong with Daniels?

Same as always. Motormouth.

[RocketDawg]

Cincinnati is better than most think. They have a large lead on Houston, and Aiabama's going to have to win this game if they expect to make the playoffs. And they're doing just that.

[Dak Holliday]

UGA doing their best MSU impression. 2 Red zone visits in second half with no points.

UGA getting choked. There?s a difference. 😂

[SailingDawg]

Same as always. Motormouth.

Those guys don't bother me. He has some good insight sometimes. Now the lady on ESPN, ugh!

[RocketDawg]

What is up with Bama OL? They have been average all year and sucked last week?

The players must have thought Auburn would be a cakewalk.

[RocketDawg]

Those guys don't bother me. He has some good insight sometimes. Now the lady on ESPN, ugh!

Beth? Yeah, she grates on nerves a bit. Or a lot.

[Maverick91]

Same as always. Motormouth.

Lol I meant Georgia?s qb Daniels?

[Saltydog]

What is wrong with Daniels?

Nothing! When he got hurt Bennett took over and they kept winning so he stayed in there! Course, they weren?t winning because of Bennett rather that defense which had been dominant until today! I?d look to pull Bennnett here and take my chance with Daniels! Just as I say this he throws the pic 6!

[RocketDawg]

Georgia has collapsed.

[RocketDawg]

Nothing! When he got hurt Bennett took over and they kept winning so he stayed in there! Course, they weren?t winning because of Bennett but that defense which had been dominant until today! I?d look to pull Bennnett here and take my chance with Daniels!

Thought he was talking about Gary Daniels, the color guy.

[Dak Holliday]

Bama rolling hard

[Maverick91]

Nothing! When he got hurt Bennett took over and they kept winning so he stayed in there! Course, they weren?t winning because of Bennett but that defense which had been dominant until today! I?d look to pull Bennnett here and take my chance with Daniels!

Especially after they pick. Perfect reason to put Daniels in.

[R2Dawg]

UGA getting choked. There?s a difference. 😂

Bama has made the plays but UGA has choked again.

Does Kirby rally them in playoffs? Kirby's legacy is on the line depending on how this season plays out.

[parabrave]

What is up with Bama OL? They have been average all year and sucked last week?

Like someone else said the SEC east is that bad.

[KOdawg1]

Dammit. I didn't want OM to win another Sugar Bowl.

Thanks Georgia.

[IncessantCowbellRinger]

Please tell me Georgia is out of the playoffs after getting blown out like this.

[RocketDawg]

So if Michigan wins tonight, it'll be Michigan, Bama, Cincinnati, Georgia. Don't think they'd team Georgia vs Alabama again in the first round.

Not sure Georgia can beat Michigan, so it looks like Bama will have another Natty.

[R2Dawg]

Like someone else said the SEC east is that bad.

Agree, UK and UT are solid but UGA beat Ark and Aub like a rented mule. UGA also beat UF and UT that way which Bama barely beat.

UGA is real good but they have a matchup problem at WR and DB that they got outcoached in bad.

[PikeDawg15]

**** Georgia , dammit my ole miss friends are jumping up and down ready to buy sugar bowl tickets.

[R2Dawg]

So if Michigan wins tonight, it'll be Michigan, Bama, Cincinnati, Georgia. Don't think they'd team Georgia vs Alabama again in the first round.

Just like game tonight, don't write anyone off. Any playoff team could win it. Examples all day to prove it.

Yep looks like they are there.

Interceptions haven't helped. I think two pick-sixes?

[R2Dawg]

Interceptions haven't helped. I think two pick-sixes?

UGA don't throw the pick6 and score TDs on those two red zone trips and they are up. Just little things. UGA was not ready to play. That is on Kirby.

[PGHBulldogBG]

**** Georgia , dammit my ole miss friends are jumping up and down ready to buy sugar bowl tickets.

I don?t get it. They are going to NY6 no matter what. Doesn?t matter which one it is

[R2Dawg]

The Bowers TE is special. Dang if we used a TE.

[R2Dawg]

This game ain't over.

[Ranchdawg]

What I find hilarious. Ole Miss dogged/trashed/complained about Matt Luke and how they could do so much better for a coach. Well guess what coach is on the sideline in Atlanta for the SEC championship.

[Commercecomet24]

Thing is we should have been a 1 loss team this year.

I agree.

[Commercecomet24]

Nicks the best big game coach in the country and it's not close. Lot of wannabes but they ain't Nick and I hate bama

[RocketDawg]

I don?t get it. They are going to NY6 no matter what. Doesn?t matter which one it is

The Sugar Bowl has a stellar history, and OM was in there a lot back in the day. Then, the Big 4 were Sugar, Rose, Cotton, and Orange. I understand them seeing it as a much better bowl than the Peach.

[PGHBulldogBG]

I forgot how much that fan base lives in the past they probably don?t realize it?s all equal now

[Dak Holliday]

I don?t get it. They are going to NY6 no matter what. Doesn?t matter which one it is

Traditionally, the Sugar is the SEC?s top bowl. It still carries more value than the Peach or Citrus

[Dak Holliday]

I forgot how much that fan base lives in the past they probably don?t realize it?s all equal now

That?s not 100% true. Sugar is the top SEC school not in the playoff. It has prestige

[Maverick91]

I forgot how much that fan base lives in the past they probably don?t realize it?s all equal now

I mean I like oranges more than peaches to be honest.

[RocketDawg]

Traditionally, the Sugar is the SEC?s top bowl. It still carries more value than the Peach or Citrus

Yep, even with MSU fans.

[Saltydog]

Nakobe Dean had been shut down today! Non factor!

[Dak Holliday]

Me too. Now, if there were a Nectarine or Plum bowl- maybe 😂

[PGHBulldogBG]

I don?t disagree that back in the day the sugar bowl was a better bowl, but modern day football started in 2014 with the playoff. There are only 3 tiers now. Playoffs, NY6 that are not playoff that year and the rest.

[RocketDawg]

Cincinnati fans rushed the field. Classless. **

[RocketDawg]

It doesn't matter. For SEC fans, the Sugar is still a major bowl and always will be.

[RougeDawg]

I forgot how much that fan base lives in the past they probably don?t realize it?s all equal now

Lives in the past as in living in the past before 1861. How they get any recruit is amazing. I guess money clouds one?s perception of history. They only pay for their own benefit. Guess you can?t fix stupid.

[parabrave]

Nicks the best big game coach in the country and it's not close. Lot of wannabes but they ain't Nick and I hate bama

This but I want to point out that some of advantages that are apparent now. He most likely has had a coach/advisor working on this gameplan since week one of the season. He has the best recruits in the nation and has the staff to prepare these kids for each game which is a double whammy. As for tonight The Oline won this game. Young had plenty of time to sitback there and make the right decisions.

[Turfdawg67]

It doesn't matter. For SEC fans, the Sugar is still a major bowl and always will be.

It's better than most bowls for sure. But it is minuscule in prestige that it was when the SEC winner went to it every year.

[Turfdawg67]

If UGA plays Michigan, this could be a colossal failure for GA this year. Michigan looks solid. The outliner, and a big one, is the QBs. UGA could kill Michigan's hopes by sacking MacNamara early and often.

Michigan is Bama ten years ago. Line up and run it down their throats. Not gonna work against Bama or UGA for that matter.

[Bdawg]

That's true but it's still the top sec bowl outside of the playoff.
