Big Week For Fitz, Abram, Sweat, & Grantham

Before the season, I thought this game was setting up like the UGA game in 2011. Now I feel its more like the UGA 2010 game. We know we're the better team, it will just come down to execution. 2010 Georgia is similar to 2017 Georgia except they have more talent at RB and less talent at QB. Unless UGA's QB has a coming out party, I don't see how they'll be any more successful against our D than LSU was.

Fromm will have to play like Tom Brady. Our pass rush will be more brutal than Notre Dame's. He will have to release quickly and as an inexperienced freshman that could lead to a couple of pick 6s.

Same here. I'm in South Carolina and have been on a text thread talking sh!t with my UGA buddies for months. Oddly, three weeks into the season, they are worried sick. Not seeing much bravado at all except for bragging about ancient accolades. Freshman QB, while talented, is a freshman. OL is not a strength. Solid defense and lots of big talented players, but...So does MSU. State doesn't turn the ball over and State wins.

Almost all my friends Bleed that Red and Black - including my parents.

My confidence comes from the fact that my UGA friends that really know football are dead ass silent about this game. They know the OL is suspect. They know that Fromm is green. They are not sure if Kirby Smart is the second coming of Saban, or the second coming of Ray Goff. They know that Michel and Chubb have injury histories and a lot of miles on them. They know that the east is weak and are already wondering if Kentucky or Vandy will be the inexplicable loss of the season - or God forbid they lose both. They know we are hungry, and they are already looking for this season's disappointment. They project the confidence of Alabama coming into the game, but in their gut they know they aren't.

I think we win by 2 touchdowns, if not more.
