Potential first: Georgia and Tech both playing for titles

I guess that goes to show you it ain’t over til it’s over. Many Tech and UGA fans, not to mention some sports writers, had written both teams off after their 2 game losing streaks.

“Auburn has beaten both South Carolina and Florida and folks are burying them now after blowout losses to Arkansas and LSU.”

AUs only losses are to top 10 teams. UGA, not so much. Also, for AU to be 6-3 is pretty awesome since most of the so-called experts had them only winning 4 games all season.

One at a time! The Auburn game having a 12.5 point spread makes me a bit squeamish. The ‘away’ team usually wins this one, and I cannot remember a UGA vs. AUB game where a spread of more than a touchdown has ever made sense.

One step at a time! Good grief what is next, playing each other for the BCS title?
The puppies have a little easier time than the jackets but not to much. Remember the war ducks beat the gators as well so that is not that big of a deal and the east really stinks against the west.
As for the buzz, not to sure about them either. They played poorly against the other team from VA so who will show up is the key. Should be fun!

Jeff,

I agree about Auburn. I think that team is going to be trouble in the future, they are just very young. I saw first-hand at the Florida-Auburn game the enormous amount of young talent on Auburn’s roster. Whether Auburn fans like Chizik or not, I believe he has the program heading in the right direction.

I’d say take things one step at a time, Jeff.

However, if we get to this situation, I’d say that both teams will have their minds elsewhere, to a certain extent. Not to say the game won’t matter, but in terms of what each team’s goals are (winning their respective conferences), it doesn’t.

But still, bragging rights are always on the line, and the Dawgs should make it three in a row. But first things first: beat Auburn!

And for curiosity’s sake, where did you get that line on the Auburn game?

Go Dawgs!

What? It is not likely. I would give us 50/50 shot at beating Auburn. We have the ability to win by 21 points. But we also have the ability to give them 28 points like we did against SC. You just don’t know with this team. Out of the big games we have played this year, we have only won one. That was Florida and they were terrible. Boise killed us. We got out coached and played in that game. And we all know about the SC game. Our record in a must win games lately has not been good in the past 3 years. Hopefully, we will find some character in this game and find a way to win. They did show some heart in the Florida game though. We need some more of that without all the mistakes. Go Dawgs!

We may not have beaten any ranked teams, but we did beat Tennessee and Florida in the same year and we are back on the ESPN scroll as a relevant ranked team. And we did win 7 in a row. And Mark Richt has always won 10 games with a returning QB. And Aaron Marrey just threw for 5 TD’s in 9 minutes while Tech has maybe 10 TD passes for TD’s all year.

6 of last 7 if we beat Auburn.

21 of last 26 if we beat UK.

18 of last 21 if we beat Tech.

Go Hokies.

Notice one program has to go to High School Junior Varsity Thursday night to get on National TV. Abandoning the South Georgia Fan.

The other program earns a prime time slot on Saturday when the big boy schools play football. The whole state can come to watch without taking time off from work. We get the recruits, we play a Pro game, we put players in the NFL and fans in stadium twice as big.

No it won’t be good if BOTH teams succeed, there needs to be a continued clear choice between good and bad for the recruits to chose from. We got the babes.

VT always looks good until they play GT. Beamer and Butthead(the defensive coach) have never figured out how to stop the Tech offense. As much as I hate to say it, I think GT wins this one.

Auburn is Auburn, and they always play lights out in Sanford Stadium. I think the Georgia defense will be up to the task, after the first quarter. Malzahn has had two weeks to prepare for this game and will hit the Dawgs with every trick play he has ever dreamed of. But Grantham will adjust and handle the Plainsmen/Tigers/War Eagles in the second half.

However, Murray in a big game is a train wreck. Auburn will be like USC if they get an early turnover and will kill Murray. Murray gave the Gamecocks 21 points. If he gives AU 7, we lose.

5150 UOAD, then go watch the pros play. There is no way that these still developing players can sustain a 12 to 14 game season without injuries. It has always been this way with D-1 football from as long as I can remember. I agree it is not the job of the big schools to support the FCS schools but as far as athletics go I have no problem paying out the monies to see the games. Sometimes they are well worth it. Remember App State beating Michigan or LOU-LA beating Bama a couple of years back? Or who was it Richmond beating Va Tech? Or Georgia beating GaTech last year?

My Prediction:

Georgia beats Auburn and Kentucky to clinch the SEC East. To celebrate, everyone parties at Crowell’s crib. Trying to figure out which Tech back has the ball is hard enough when you’re sober, but when you’re still high from last weekend’s party…

Tech bounces back from an embarassing loss to Duke with a win over UGA.

Clean and sober after the loss to Ga Tech, the Dawgs upset LSU in the SEC Championship game.

Tech declares themselves SEC Champions since they beat Georgia and Georgia beat LSU, who beat Alabama…

BCS voters, especially the computer pollsters, buy into the Ga Tech logic and rank Ga Tech #2 in the final poll, right behind the only undefeated team in the country – Houston.

The BCS National title game is played before a crowd of 12 people. Three days and 52 overtimes later, the NCAA decides that neither team will ever stop the other from scoring and declares the game a tie.

The coaches vote Alabama #1 in the final poll, but the AP writers surprise no one when they rank Ohio State at the top of their poll. The computers can’t agree on which team is #1, with LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma, Stanford, Arkansas, and Duke finishing at the top of various computer polls..

A Georgia Tech grad student builds a robot from pieces of an old Atari system, crunches the numbers, and discovers that Ga Tech gained more rushing yards than any team that was voted #1 in any of the polls.

Thus, Ga Tech declares themselves National Champions.

I think chances are good they both get there. LSU in my opinoin is the better option for Georgia and a chance of an upset. LSU offense is average at best, and Georgia Defense is playing well enough to keep the game close. Still don’t think Georgia can win it though.

BobDawg,

I have to say I agree with you in regards to the Florida-Auburn game about the refs penalizing both for “failure to resemble football teams.” That was sorry football. The difference is, Auburn is a young team that is promising. I can’t say the same for my Gators. I believe Auburn will be tough to beat in future seasons.

The reason I said in an earlier comment about how you better not bet on Auburn-Georgia is because I remember back in 1999 when Georgia was supposed to roll over Auburn with a superior team only to watch former Hart County star and Auburn quarterback Ben Leard light up Georgia. That game was over by halftime.

This is hilarious coming from a Tech fan. you play in thee ACC where the A stands for Average at best. Vandy, Ole miss, Miss state, and Kentucky could all compete yearly for title in your lame conference.

Yes the east is down, but all 4 of the east power houses are very young teams and will be back to form by 2013. Then the SEC will once again dominate the top 10 with 5-6 teams in the top 10-15.

Each division has 4 top teams and there 2 bottom teams, Mizzou and texas A&M will fit right in between the power houses and the cupcakes.

VT will be a challenge for GT, but I give them a decent shot to pull it off. Perhaps 40%. UGA-Auburn is going to be a good game– I give Georgia a slight edge– 55%– but that point-spread is crazy! I wish I were in Vegas right now.

If GT wins its division, you’d have to say they’re the favorites against Clemson in a title game based on the simple fact that they beat them quite soundly already. 80%.

UGA versus LSU (or, less likely, Alabama or Arkansas) would be a big underdog… but you never know. If the Dawgs get there, they could be riding a 10-game winning streak. That does something for confidence. Let’s say 15% of winning.

Oh– and UGA beats GT this year. 100%. (Okay, I give the Dawgs about a 60% chance in non-fan-based reality).

Jeff, We’d better take it a step at a time. While top ten teams typically have a tough time winning games at Bobby Dodd Stadium, this VA Tech team will come in fighting and scratching and expecting to win. Likewise, if you’re buying into that 12 1/2 point spread in UGA’s favor, I would think again. Auburn won’t be laying down for anyone, especially UGA. Besides, should GT or UGA both win their games this week, they’re both ripe for an upset the next week. Especially GA Tech playing Duke who is well coached and playing pretty good football. One week at a time, but wouldn’t it be great if the SEC East champion were playing the ACC Coastal champion for the state championship on Nov. 26th?

I also think if UGA finds a way to the SEC Championship, they would be a better matchup with LSU than Bama. While LSU has earned its number ranking, their lack of strong QB play means the UGA defense would have a chance to attack, and a good offensive line performance against the LSU defense would give Aaron Murray a chance to perform better than McCarron did for Bama. He’s the best QB LSU will have faced, and Conley and Mitchell are looking like a sweet 1-2 deep threat punch. It would be foolish to put money on UGA, but the Dawgs are good enough to tee it up and have a real fighting chance.

For everyone talking about LSU’s poor quarterback play, would you care to take a look at what they’ve done to the competition prior to Alabama, particularly those teams you both have played? Below are Jarrett Lee’s numbers against Mississippi State, Florida, and Tennessee combined. Further, you will find Aaron Murray’s against the same competition.

Jarret Lee: 41/54 (76%); 5 TD; 1 Int; 505 yards
Aaron Murray: 43/84 (51%); 4 TD; 4 Int; 556 yards

So if you think you can stay competitive with LSU based on their poor QB play, you’d better look yourself in the mirror, because based on these numbers, I’d take Jarrett Lee all day.

NAVY SEAL did the acc TEAM DOING THAT BEATING ON THE sec TEAMS PLAY A TOUGH GAME BEFORE FACING THEM EITHER?

Since the are all OOC games the likelihood that either played a hard team prior is minimal. Actually many times the SEC teams did have a ROAD game before and thought the ACC team would be good for homecoming. Well that is what VANDY and TECH did. They were each others HC game. Miss St tech were not each others HC games and GT Auburn were not each others HC games. The other teams i don’t know about because i didn’t attend or see those games.

Something to be proud of… Really… This says it all about the UGA nation! I mean, I’m not really surprised at the win at all cost attitude… Grantham is a JOKE, and any person with a shred of integrity realizes this…. What a complete JOKE your program has become…

Im sorry I forgot that you nerds dont know what its like to have a winning team. My bad.

I think that its tech that has become the JOKE program in the state.

And it came to pass that Mark Richt brought billions of people from a distant planet to Earth in spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes, and detonated fusion bombs in the volcanoes. The Dawgs then aggregated together, stuck to the bodies of the living, and continue to do this today. Society’s biggest problem is to isolate and neutralize the Dawgs and their constant companions, the fleas.

Gamecocks and Gators have had great success in this.

Most people didn’t know this.

TDAWG FAN you do care WHO you get back for UGA though. If your Coach had the Integrity & Character he Preaches about your RB’s would have been out a game that matters. If it didn’t matter, then all the UGA players that rushed the Field from the sidelines in the Auburn game would have been suspended for the TECH game. Well, I guess RICHT is more of a CHARACTER(like is players) than a MAN of CHARACTER.

Wow where to start on this bunch of retardedness. First off I dont care who comes through as recruits to UGA as long as they go to class and pass and produce on the field and stay out of trouble.

Second: Since when is it Richts job to stalk his 100 players 24/7- I guess Tech cloans CPJ so he do it.

Third: If you could read you would have seen the copy of UGAs teams conduct policy, where it clearly states that tanyone failing a drug test must sit out the NEXT game on the schedule, not the NEXT BIG game. Thats just dumb.

Fourth: The sidelines spilled bc Scam was throwing punches at players like a little pansy. And if you want ot talk suspensions for that… Why wasnt Scam suspended for AU/AL game for clearly throwing punches? Why was Fairley not suspended for his blatant late and dirty hits??

Fifth: Stop being jealous that Richt is 10X the coach that CPJ is period.

Geeze guy, give it a break already. The RBs were sitting out the very next game as per policy. You just do not admit to the fact that it was Richt who ordered the test. Of course if it was done according to GT policy, they wouldn’t have missed a single game likely, not even tested

TDFan (Aka Troll), Clemson has as good of athletes if not better defensively than Georgia. One of their tackles is projected to be a first round pick. So I’m pretty sure if we can do what we did against them, we should be just fine against y’all. Also, Clemson has pretty good weapons on the offensive side of the ball as well, and while they weren’t shut down, they were contained. And to be completely honest, y’all don’t have nearly the players they do.

@truedawg fan…

Cam Newton NEVER threw a punch at anyone…the two players who did were ejected, unlike the chicken bullpuppies that attacked a player on the ground and started hitting him…Fairly had 1, count them, 1 late hit and was flagged for it as he should have been…quit your crying and let it go, that happened a year ago…different day, different players…but same ignorant dawg fans

Clearly you didnt watch the game. Scam was videotaped on the sideline throwing multiple punches at UGA players, Cant hide that kind of evidence (But you can hide 180K I guess).

Fairley got flagged for one but should have been flagged for 3-4 and ejected. He hit Murray in the spine, the back of the knee, the head. He was out to hurt Murray hence why jumped on top of your player.

AU fans just cant get it straight ( Likely nerds on this blog though)

And if I am so wrong about the game thne why do all the people i know that cheer for AU agree with me on this?? Why do all those people wonder why Scam and Fairley were not suspended and instead two mediocre players were? We all know why….. Silve and NC

I’m with you there but, AU hasn’t had a defensive display to hang their hat on really. I was half expecting you to say strong running game for AU/weak one for UGA. Would make more sense given your projected winner and score.

My personal opinion is that UGA will put some points on the board. Maybe 30. The bigger question to me is, how many can AU put up? Air attack is near non-existant, QB is weak however, can UGA or not shut down the running game. I believe that is where the AU steangth lies. Their D won’t stop UGA but can they hold it to a minimum?

True Dawg

I’m in agreement with you. I believe the lion share of offense will be the RBs running and taking the short dumps. There currently isn’t a passing threat per ’se and hopefully they don’t find one. Dawg D should have a banner day. They size up to handle them with ease. True, stacking the box and leaving the corners rome, AU should have a bad day. They’re defense will struggle with the UGA balance unless they can shut down the running game. They’re secondary is young and weak

ARdawg,

To be honest, I was thinking about the GT-Georgia game, but I guess I can look at the Auburn game. You’re right, Auburn has a pretty good ground game, and they’ll have to live on it. Crowell should (and I say should) be able to establish a ground game for Georgia as well. I’m still worried about him come Thanksgiving weekend, and how well our defense will be able to hold him.

For your Auburn game though, I do think that you guys can win. While there’s the argument regarding that wins have come against weak-to-average offenses, I don’t see this as being the game that Georgia drops. Will Auburn keep it close? Yes. Will Georgia make one or two special teams problems? Probably. But they should be able to overcome it. I’ll say 28-27 Georgia

GT and VT…I’m glad that we’re not going against Tyrod Taylor again, and I think Logan Thomas still needs some time before he can reach TT levels. A lot of the game depends on which GT offense shows up, but I think it’s the offense that gave Clemson fits more than a week ago. GT 34-28

Crowell while he has had some “moments” is for the most part unreliable. When one considers UGA running game well, just don’t consider it and whatever positive comes of it is gravy. Against the weaker teams yes you can count on a balanced game from Georgia. Against stiffer competition we tend to get one dimensional if not, at the wrong time.

Too much responsibility on the freshmen Crowell and no one backing it up. We’ll have the threat of a running game but little else. I say that until Crowell has a breakout game. May be this game but, I’ll believe it when I see it. If I bet any money on this game I believe I would take AU and the points. I think out offense might spudder enough to let them stay in the game. Georgia should win by a TD.

I’ve seen Tech play 3 times already and I can’t figure you guys out. Jekyll and Hyde. There is no amount of money I’d bet on Tech, just too unpredictable. I though Clemson was way overrated and conversely I don’t think Miami is any good. Tough to get a good read on where Tech is at the moment

ARDawg, I wish *I* could figure us out. The only thing that I know is that our defense is actually decent (or at least consistent, especially given our own special teams problems), and when our offense is clicking, it clicks. At least there’s no way to bet money for or against Tech!

As for Georgia, I’ll admit I have a bit of a bias (at least you guys aren’t Duke; I grew up a Maryland fan until I came down to Atlanta). I’ll agree that Georgia should win, and by more than one as I stated earlier. On the other hand, don’t you love the word “should”?

Wish i had not scrolled up.

5150 – well, you have been put in the penalty box before by the AJC and had to agree to tone it down.. Guessing that it’s coming around again.

For the record:

What Ben Jones did was inexcusable. His coach yanked him off the field. He was admonished and he picked up the phone and personally apologize to the player the next day.

Farley was a dirty player. I do agree with you – that if the shoe had been on the other foot, you would have been on this blog trashing the guy and there would be some dog fans defending him. He used his face mask as a ‘cheese grater’ and while stumbling on the ground, found a way to slip ‘helmet first’ into our QB’S leg. Now, the cheese grater play and the play where he could have had a cup of coffee and a donut after Murray released the ball before he drove him into the turf.

Georgia had put up with an entire day of this and that is why the entire offensive line went after the guy. If the refs had did their job – none of this would have happened.

Your welcome to disagree; but if you go back and look at the game and take that ‘Auburn’ hat off – I think that you’ll conclude that this is what happened.

Looking forward to Saturday’s Game. The Seniors from last year are either in the NFL or working on their next career’s. What’s done is done… Maybe….

And for Tech:
A) We’re good against the pass; only two opponents have thrown for more than 200 yards against Tech, and Maryland only got 87 yards. The two games where our foes passed for at least 100 below their average, they rushed at least 80 yards above their average (Maryland and Virginia).
B) Our passing defense is holding our ACC foes to almost 70 yards below their average, but our rushing defense is allowing our opponents 21 more yards than their average.
C) We scored above our opponents average allowed points three times (UNC, NC State and Clemson), and let them score above their average points only once (NC State),

Between the two schools, Georgia allows 188.67 passing yards to Tech’s 177 passing yards. However, Tech allows 176 rushing yards against Georgia’s 84. Both schools allow roughly four points below scoring averages.

Either way, both of our defenses have come light years ahead of where they were last year, and I’d much rather beat a ranked Georgia team than an unranked one (conversely, I’d grumble less about losing to a ranked Georgia team than an unranked one). I’d imagine that the sentiment is shared, yes?

Also, Jeff, with the additions of Pitt and Syracuse to the ACC in 201-whenever, do you think the ACC would use the opportunity to redo division alignment, or to just stick them in opposing divisions and have them be each other’s fixed cross-division foe? Should it be the former, do you think that GT should try and switch with Boston College? That way, we get to have a tougher schedule each year (Florida State + Clemson with division implications + BC’s former cross-division foe, Virginia Tech)
