Georgia has far better than ‘puncher’s chance’ against LSU
Aron White, Christian Robinson punctuate UGA's return with school flag . (Johnny Crawford)
This is the column that I didn’t think I would be writing six weeks ago, when Georgia fizzled and nearly self-destructed at Vanderbilt, and a five-game winning streak seemed like the furthest thing from Mark Richt’s mind.
This is the column that didn’t seem plausible three months ago when I looked up at the scoreboard and saw, “Boise State 35, Georgia 21” after looking down on the Georgia Dome field to see a Bulldogs team get beat physically by a Mountain West Conference team and play flat emotionally — the worst possible exacta for a hyped-up season opener.
This is the column that says Georgia can beat LSU.
This is not to diminish anything LSU has accomplished this season. How can one diminish an SEC team going 12-0? The Tigers have played and beaten seven teams that were ranked at the time they played. That includes No. 3 Oregon to start the season (40-27), No. 2 Alabama in Tuscaloosa (9-6 in overtime) and No. 3 Arkansas (41-17). LSU is as legitimate and proven as any No. 1 team that has come along in years.
Which doesn’t mean it can’t lose.
No. I’m not drunk on the Kool-Aid. Something changed in Athens. Maybe the 33-28 escape at Vanderbilt was a wake-up call. Maybe it was just a case of a young team slowly gaining confidence. At the very least, we know players reaffirmed that they believed in — and would follow — their head coach. Because a team doesn’t just rally from a 17-3 deficit to beat its nemesis (Florida), destroy Auburn 45-7 and spin a 10-game winning streak after a 0-2 start because it’s suddenly getting bounces.
After the body-slamming of Auburn, when it became clear the Dogs would win the SEC East, many felt they would have a “puncher’s chance” in the conference title game against the winner of the West, LSU or Alabama. But that short-changes Georgia.
When I hear puncher’s chance, I think George Foreman vs. Michael Moorer. In 1994, when Moorer was the heavyweight champion, he won nine straight rounds against the unranked 45-year-old Foreman. Then he got stupid. Foreman suckered him in. He landed a concrete right hand to Moorer’s porcelain chin. When Moorer looked up from the canvas, he saw little blue songbirds circling above him.
Three months after the loss to Boise State, the Bulldogs return to the Georgia Dome Saturday against LSU. They don’t need to rely on one lucky punch to win. They have become that good. They are playing with a rhythm, a confidence and an edge that we haven’t seen since 2007.
A year ago, when I wrote that Richt deserved to come back this season because of what he had accomplished in Athens, there was a backlash. Many fans wanted him fired. I wasn’t ready to make that leap. But neither did I share the confidence of Richt’s defenders, particularly after the season’s first two games. An unraveling seemed imminent. So did a job change. Clearly, that’s not happening now.
LSU is rolling. But so is Georgia. Aaron Murray is the best quarterback the LSU defense will face this season, and in the last four games he has completed 68 percent of his passes for 14 touchdowns and two interceptions. The offense is loaded with receivers: Orson Charles, Malcolm Mitchell, Tavarres King, et al. (Just when Georgia Tech figured it had everybody covered Saturday, a freshman, Chris Conley, popped open in the end zone. Chris Conley? He’s UGA’s sixth-leading receiver.)
The assumption here is that with Isaiah Crowell being held out Saturday with an ankle injury, he and Carlton Thomas (who had only a few carries against Tech) will be ready for LSU and provide balance to the offense.
Defensively, the Dogs get better by the week. They throttled the Tech’s option offense Saturday and held the Jackets to 10 points until a meaningless touchdown in the final minutes.
Boise State and South Carolina combined for eight offensive touchdowns in the first two games. In the 10 since, Georgia has allowed only 12 offensive touchdowns. That includes one or none in seven of the 10 games. This is the second-best defense LSU will face this season. They managed only three field goals (one in overtime) against the only opponent with a better one, Alabama.
Georgia doesn’t have a mere puncher’s chance in the SEC championship. Georgia has a legitimate chance. The team that will play in the Georgia Dome on Dec. 3 is not the same one that played there on Sept. 3.
Some things you just don’t see coming.

Of course they have a chance. They’re going to play, aren’t they? There are baffling upsets almost every year.

Georgia will probably get 3 or 4 chances to score the whole game. They had better not waste any.

Not happening. Against any other team in the country, I would say you’re right. But not this year’s LSU team. Georgia doesn’t even match up well against them. Having 4 receivers is great provided you can protect with 6 and the progressions don’t make your QBs head spin. Georgia keeps it close until half-time and then… boom.

Good article though I thought South Carolina only scored two offensive TD’s. 28 of their 45 points came on a 70 yard fake punt run. an interception return and two fumble returns(one was for a TD and the other was to the 5 yard line…so technically I guess South Carolina’s O scored 3 offensive TD’s).

I’ve never understood how anyone could take any pride in the UGA football team. Look at their history for the past forty years: how can anyone ignore Jan Kemp and the remedial studies scam, the Jim Harrick sleaze, the DUIs in the athletic office (not just Damon Evans), the DUIs and other arrests of players, the #1 party school label (for the most drunk students), the suspensions and outright dismissals, the Fulmer Cup, and on and on?
As disgraceful and sickening as it is, I don’t see many alumni and fans demanding an end to this sleazy activity. It sets UGA apart as the kind of school that decent people despise and it’s become an embarrassment to the whole state of Georgia.
Will it ever end? Not while Mark Richt is at UGA. Richt is the biggest hypocrite in the United States. And even with the cheating and lawlessness that he ignores, he still can’t win the SEC.

Jeff…I totally agree with you…I’ve been saying and writing in my sports column that I’ve done for 36 years that Dawgs have a great chance to beat Lobbying Les Miles. #1-they’re playing and peaking at the right time, #2-they got the better opponent to play (no-one wants Bama in my estimation), #3-Les Miles is no Nick Saban and is due for one of his clock or play-calling disasters, #4-it’s a home field advantage for UGA and on artificial turf (Les can’t eat grass unless he brings his own) and the crowd will be nuts for the Dawgs, #5-Georgia has the largest offensive line in all football and can handle the manhandling LSU’s d-line normally dishes out, #6-Aaron Murray is indeed the best QB they’ve played and his receivers are vastly under-rated, #7-Georgia has a good kicking game to match LSU, #8-if Crowell and other runners being their A-games, it becomes a tossup in my estimation.
If Georgia continues their trend and LSU doesn’t bring its A+ game, then I smell upset. And if that happens then we will be seeing “Lobbying” Les again trying to talk folks into putting LSU against Bama. Boy, he’d live up to that nickname then!
LSU is just due for a letdown game and I do not see Georgia having one. And through all this rant, I’m not even a Georgia fan…just do not like LSU and its players or fans.

It will be a good game. Our D can definitely hang with their O. They’re mostly just a power running team. We match up well with them there. Everyone that is associated with our offense will have to have the game of their lives for us to have a chance. I like the way Murray is playing and its no knock on him, but I don’t like having to pass the ball that much. It doesn’t get you very far against a team like LSU. Crowell needs to grow a pair and fast. I hope Samuel is back too.
Whatever happens it beats the heck out of being a Georgia Tech fan, but everyone knows that.

It’s not so hard for me to believe because this is almost a re-run of what happened in 2007(?). Mark Richt has a very good defensive coordinator working with top flight athletes and Aaron Murray will continue to mature and improve.
This is not the same team that played at the first of the season, it is much better partially due to the fact that the team believed in coach Richt’s leadership. Gloom and doom seems to sell on AJC sports blogs and there were many fans and UGA haters who bought into it.

B/c our defense is a whole lot better than Ark. LSU use five backs, we will have to rotate the front line to keep fresh bodies to counter their run attack. But LSU cannot pass. So if we get a 14pt lead, they will panic and we will stuff LSU and ALL THE BULLDAWGS HATERS!

GT’s comments ” after watching Alabama waste Auburn who may have been the toughest competition in the killer row 9 game winning streak they are not even punchers in this upcoming game.” UGA beat Auburn worse than AL did and UGA coasted in the fourth. So how do you figure this? They may not win but its not because Al nor LSU beat Auburn badly. UGA did that also so u need to come up with a different reason why UGA wont win. I think if UGA looses it will be becasue of mental errors and a weak offensive game plan (BOBO) but NOT becasue of LSU’s better athletes. We can hang with them!!

Perception has a lot to do with why most people think LSU will crush Georgia. LSU has been considered one of the best teams in the nation for the entire season; Georgia was largely written off by almost everyone after they lost their first two games and no one has been paying attention. But Georgia has the 4th best defense in the nation, an offensive and defensive line that is every bit as big as LSU’s, great athletes at the skill positions and in the defensive backfield, a very good quarterback, and they’ve won 10 straight games. Les Miles also has a losing record against Richt. So personally I see no reason why Georgia can’t win.

Greg — SC scored 3 offensive touchdowns: Alshon Jeffery (34 catch), Stephen Garcia (8 run), Marcus Lattimore (3 run). The 68-yard Ingram run was off a fake punt. Not sure if technically that counts as a special teams touchdown but given the circumstances I’m making the change. And yes, another TD was set up by a fumble return but it’s still an offensive score.

Got it so LSU has the resume not disputing that but if UGA does what alabama, oregon, and so on and so forth couldnt do which is beat LSU for the championship they should at least be in the top 10. Not saying national championship but still top 10 is a reasonable request.

Jeff – LSU’s defense will be very difficult to score on. They shut down a potent Arkansas offense. In fact, many in the media, are saying Arkansas’ QB is the best in the SEC. He has looked good all year long until he ran into LSU. I’m wishing and hoping, but I’m having difficulty seeing our o-line protecting Murray or opening holes for the running game. I’m also anxious about our defense’s ability to stand-up against the physical strength of LSU for a whole game. We’ve been good against weak competition. The question is will we be good good against one of the two best teams in the country (that is clearly LSU and Alabama). Like I said, I’m wishing and hoping, but….

I’m fine with UGA being underestimated. However, I could live with just being competitive in this game. As much as I’d like to believe otherwise, LSU is simply on a collision course with destiny this season, or so it seems. Les Miles is also the luckiest coach in all of college football. Not saying that applies to this year, necessarily. They have done an absolutely amazing job this year.
To beat them, UGA would have to play an absolutely perfect game, and LSU would have to make a few mistakes. Could it happen? Sure. But I woudn’t bet against the Hat this year.
Mostly, I just hope for a clean game, with no injuries on either side and good sportsmanship. And welcome to Atlanta, LSU fans!

LSU is going to attack our O line, hoping to knock Murray out early. They are ruthlessly physical. If we can protect Murray and stop the turnovers, we can beat anybody, including LSU or Alabama. If we had protected Murray against Boise and SC, we would have beaten both teams. We haven’t done a great job of it this year, although the line is getting better. The problem is that LSU is better than any defense we have faced, even though SC’s is very good. Think of the damage SCs rush did to us. I think our D will play well enough. If our O line can have its best game ever, we could well win it, but looking at the cold hard facts, LSU looks to have a 10-15 point advantage otherwise, and that is because of our line’s inability to protect Murray.

What is UGA’s signature win this season? Do they have one? Beating a bad Florida team? Destroying Auburn and Tech (who are both really bad)? Since September, they haven’t smelled the competition LSU has faced a number of times (Oregon, WVU on the road, Ark, Bama). LSU is better prepared for a big game because they have played them all season long. UGA defense is solid and Murray is a star, but they can’t match up with LSU’s depth and experience. 31-14.

Jeff, welcome tothe bandwagon. Should be an interesting game. Both teams have a lot to play for. All season I’ve heard how Georgia hasn’t played the Big Boys of the SEC west division. Well now Georgia doesn’t have to beat Alabama or Arkansas because all they need to do is beat LSU. So think about this if, or when, Georgia beats LSU will that mean the Big Boys of the SEC west were just a little too big from their britches? All in all it will still be a good game. If Georgia should win the NC picture is still not clear. I don’t think a rematch between Alabama LSU should be played nor a rematch between Bosie and UGA.

I was wrong. Boy… was I wrong. I’m willing to man-up and eat my crow (although some refuse to do so).
I was wrong about Richt. I was wrong about JoeTII. And I was wrong about the kids on the team rallying around their coach.
About Richt, I was so angry for the five years of bad decisions, and I still believe I had every right to be angry, based on THESE doozies:
1. Refusing to back Broyle’s Award-winning BVG in his pay struggle with Adams
2. Hiring the twice-failed as a defensive coordinator Soft Willie Martinez, his former college roommate, as his replacement.
3. Hiring the incompetent John Janczek to take over BVG’s LB Coach duties.
4. Refusing to fire Soft Willie and the incompetent Jon Fabris & Janczek after the 2008 season, after FOUR YEARS of diminishing returns on defense, where the defense gave up more yards per game and more points per game every year than the year that came before.
5. Refusing to fire Dave Van Hallanger, his best friend & best man, after the 2008 season, when it became apparent that season that our players were soft and easily pushed around by physical teams (Florida, Bama, Tennessee).
6. Constantly blaming players for “not executing” when it was more than obvious that his coaches were to blame.
7. NOT FIRING DVH ALONG WITH SOFT WILLIE AND CO. AFTER THE 2009 SEASON.
With all of this, yes, I was very angry, and added on top of that, the abortion that was last season, I was through with Richt. Done. I wanted him gone. He’d made nothing but horrible decisions for 5 or 6 years. It was apparent to me that BVG made Richt, and without him, Richt was nothing but a figurehead.
But I was wrong. Richt made decisions outside of the box to save his job. Decisions, like hiring the old-school JoeTII, that he was largely berated for by myself and many others who are now even refusing to come forward and admit they were wrong about that decision in particular, like former 680theFan producer Chadd Scott.
While I do believe Todd Grantham has saved Richt’s job in the way BVG had much to do with his early success, Richt made the decision to hire this NFL guy, away from the college game for 10 years. Richt made the decision (still too late in my eyes) to hire JoeTII to replace DVH. And yes, after the first two games of this season, it appeared the same-old-same-old was upon us. But the team rallied around their under-fire coach, something I thought wasn’t possible in this day and age (look to Arizona State, UCLA, and Ole Miss for proof that this rarely happens).
So I was wrong about Richt, as were many others. I was not ever wrong about Soft Willie or DVH. I was very much right about those two, and took much flack from many here, until they were justly fired.
But I deserve the flack about Richt. Because I was wrong. And unlike some, I can man-up, and admit it.

I really am tired of all the talk about an Alabama, LSU rematch. Please. No rematch, that is unless they both win their respective conference championship, as will not be the case here. Also sickening is the speculation that should LSU lose in the SEC championship, they would still be rewarded with a shot at the National Title. In the words of Coach ‘Smiles, “if you don’t win your conference championship, how can you play for the National Championship”? He was able to convince the voters then to put LSU over Georgia in the National Championship game. However, now, he would have to do an about face if his Tigers were to lose to UGA in the SEC championship. He would certainly agree that no matter what, Bama shouldn’t get a do over. Get it right for a change! By the way, Go Dawgs!

On paper LSU looks unbeatable…. UGA has to stop their running game or at least slow it way down and the offense has to put in some trickery to keep their defense off balance… we can’t run right at them and we have to protect Murray… the outcome of this game will hinge on our ability to move the ball and play flawlessly, no easy scores..

You really have Gator phobia, don’t you? You keep on ranting about a team that has beaten your team (or is FSU your team) 18 out of the last 22 times. One bad year does not establish a trend. If you don’t believe me, check Georgia’s performance last year. And, yes, Florida has all but one of its defensive players back for next year…and they are very good. And, yes, Florida has to fix the problems on offense….and that will happen when they no longer have spread offense wide receivers and running backs. Muschamp and company are doing a very good job of bringing in those kind of players….just check the commits on the recruiting sites….and there are a bunch more big time recruits coming to join those who are already committed. Florida will be back…and very soon. So, be civil, and enjoy your moment in the sun….it will be harder to earn it next year.

I read a columnist today who said LSU would win just by mailing it in for their game against Georgia!
When I read stuff like that, I love it. Keep writing it. I hope all the LSU players read it, and get it into their heads. LSU is beyond belief great.
It’s true, right.
We all know that LSU has a great team. No doubt about that. How many times have we seen a great team lose, a team that was supposed to be unbeatable, and was maybe already crowned. It’s happened every year, and usually more than once, but this LSU football team is in another world of greatness. They are guaranteed to beat anybody. Always.
The talking heads, and the columnists are not disinterested, nor necessarily expert. Which of the experts predicted Oklahoma State’s loss? Which predicted the National Championship Game blowouts of the invincible Ohio State team?
None of those guys are saying that LSU has any chance of losing!
So, of course LSU can’t possibly lose. They have already been crowned. They’re so great that even if a miracle happened, and UGA won, well it would still be LSU vs Alabama in the Big Championship Game. LSU will always be No. 1! Hail, LSU…
For Georgia to win we’ll have to play very, very well, playing a perfect, error free game, and have a ton of luck, and a bunch of favorable decisions by the men in stripes, too. So, the experts say it can’t happen, and won’t happen, and LSU can go ahead and order their rings.
Last I looked, the games are all won on the field of play.
Go, Georgia Bulldogs!

Most likely we will see Richt handed his extension, and then… mediocre football seasons.
I hope I am wrong. I still haen’t forgiven Richt for the past three years (when my daughter was at UGA) while he forgot how to coach. It takes him a long time to realize such basics as we need strong special teams. Oh, he does come around after several near disasters.

What everyone keeps forgetting about 0-2 vs. 10-2 is that Georgia is playing the 5th greatest number of freshman in the nation(I think FL is tied with us at 5th, AU and TN are like 2nd and 4th, I think) Clearly, the coaching staff has done a better job with our freshman than some of the other SEC schools have done with theirs. I don’t know that they’re ready to tackle(literally) LSU, but if all the stars aligned, perfectly a Georgia win is possible(but not probable).

I can remember this time last year when Dawg fans were, well “dawging” Auburn about how the Gamecocks would tear us a new one in the SECCG and then after that win you said the same thing about Oregon…So how did THAT work out for ya. So NOW everyone is telling the Dawgs that LSU will tear YOU a new one in the SECCG. Not so fun when it’s happening to YOU, is it? But I’ll refrain being one of THOSE and just say, we’ll see what happens next Saturday. Auburn has been in your position many a time and know what it’s like to “get no love”….

I think LSU fans are scared deep down inside, this game frightens them to their very soul more so than a re-match with mighty Alabama would. It’s because THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO win BIG…so you hear all the same old recycled BS…”UGA hasn’t played anybody, they barely beat so and so…they were lucky”…well you know what…WHATEVER you have to TELL yourselves LSU fans (and UGA haters…so mainly bitter nerds and gaytors). Fact is…UGA is in the SEC championship game, they earned it on the field by winning 10 straight games, they’ve improved as a TEAM from week to week and are peaking at the right time.
So I guess even though we are supposed to get crushed, lose, get beaten around, be a glorified scrimmage for the MIGHTY LSU before their “rematch” with BAMA, I guess we’ll show up ANYWAYS and give it our best show and play the stinking game. You never know…there could be a big bar fight in a local strip joint the night before and honey badger along with drunken brawler QB could get arrested, suspended leaving the door slightly open and a 2% chance for a UGA upset over MIGHTY LSU

This is UGA’s National Championship game…they need to take advantage of the opportunity to put the program back in the top tier of college football…a win here would go a long way to a NC next year and could even push them into the top 4 or 3 this year if they could win the sugar bowl. Either way, it is a difficult match up but both teams have had 12 games…fatigue and pressure has got to favor UGA with the easier schedule, and little expectation that they will win.

is more delusional if he thinks that “The Gators offense” will get fixed next year by bringing in “new recruits”. More like 2-3 more years…unless you bring in 4-5 quality JUCO transfers that can play your pro style offense SKILL positions.
After watching that game against FSU the main thing that I noticed (besides FLA getting beat around on offense) is that they are a LONG ways away…if FLA gets to 8 wins next year it will be a HUGE improvement all things considered.
SEC East race next year will once again be between South Carolina and UGA….Vandy is going to be more dangerous as well.

Also note this game is perhaps a trap game for LSU. Even if LSU loses they probably will not drop lower than two in the BCS Standings. This is according to Brad Edwards from ESPN.
So lets say hypothetically that UGA does win. LSU and Bamma are 1-2 in the BCS standings. How does the BCS sort that mess out? The SEC Champion goes to a BCS game. Where does that then leave Bamma and LSU? 1-2 in the standings but neither being a conference champion? Very intriguing indeed.

I am hoping that Crowell will be healthy. We can beat Tech without our top three running backs but LSU is different. Crowell, Thomas and Malcome will need to be ready and amped.
LSU is and should be favored but Georgia has been improving each week and has great, young athletes. Any time you play, you have a chance, and I like the matchups. Murray and his receivers can drive people crazy, and I’m not sure LSU can cover all of them.
The real test will be our defense against the LSU running game. Their backs are all good, and they have so many they stay fresh.

UGA has at least as good or better margin of victory against a third of their common opponents with LSU this year. Yep, that’s a chance. If the Georgia team that showed up for the Auburn game shows up for this game, I think we have at least a 50/50 chance. An elite defense will keep UGA in any game provided we don’t beat ourselves.

UGA has a chance, but the OL has to be more physical and open bigger holes for the RBs. The DL and the LBs must be very physical against LSU’s stable of RBs. Arm tackling will not get it done and Murray has to stop overthrowing the open WR. Crowell cannot take himself out of the game after the first hit. He might as well get ready mentally, because he will be hit and he will be hit hard. UGA needs to bring in at least 2 to 3 RBs in this next class. This game will let UGA and the fans know just how far the team has come both physically and mentally. This game will be the judge just how far Bobo has come. If the offense falters, Richt will need to hire a better OC because next season the competetion will be a whole lot tougher. Also, Memphis fired their HC and while with LSU he was a great recruiter. He brought in some big time talent to LSU. Richt might want to consider that option for a better Recruting Coordinator.

Reason #2658 the BCS system is horrible. IF Georgia beats LSU, they would have the nation’s longest winning streak. Plus, they would have defeated three ranked teams, including the consensus and unanimous number one team in the final month of the season. Yet, they would be shut out of a chance to compete for the national championship.
Thus, the BCS system implies that the first weeks of a season are equally as important as the final weeks. No other sport repeats this mistake of eliminating the concept of improvement and development during a season in determining a championship. The problem is even more acute in college sports, where there is significant turnover to team composition from year to year, making the start of a season even more of a learning experience.
This is written not to imply that UGA will win. Also, I am not discounting LSU’s tremendous season. No matter the outcome of Saturday’s SEC championship, LSU should still be in the hunt for the national championship. However, this situation is just one of numerous examples of why the BCS system should be scrapped.

@UOAD — You always bring up Ben Jones because of the famous picture of the turf in the mouth, which you understandably resent. However, you lose all moral high ground after #50 for GT yesterday put DeAngelo Tyson out of the game on the first play with the same block you continually bring up about B. Jones. The TV replays show #50 from GT clearly aiming at Tyson from behind and below the knee — very graphic. It was brutal and the kid should have been tossed from the game. Tyson could be out for the rest of the year. #50 is only a sophmore, so hopefully he gets what he has coming over the next two years.

A PLAYOFF has already occurred and no one is paying any attention.
1) LSU BEAT ALABAMA
2) LSU BEAT ARKANSAS
3) NOW LSU MUST PLAY AND BEAT UGA TO CLAIM THE GOLD
Sorry, that’s how a playoff works. LSU and UGA put themselves in position to win the SEC by
‘quote from 2007′ “winning their games during the regular season. It doesn’t matter that Alabama is possibly the strongest team in the country, they didn’t win the division, much less the conference. How can they possiblty play for the national championship?” That was a quote by LOU HOLTZ in 2007…..only instead of ALABAMA the word was GEORGIA
SCREW ESPN and the TALKING HEADS that fuel them. Hypocrites (Urban Meyer)….Liars (Lou Holtz, Kirk Herbstreet, and whatshisname former coach). Let ‘em earn it on the field. If LSU wins….so be it. But if UGA wins….then they beat the best…..reward them. Unlike many teams ranked above them (for some reason), UGA didn’t lose to unranked opponents such as Arizona St.. They lost the first two to Boise #4 and USC #9 (BOTH STILL RANKED HIGH IN THE POLLS). USC lost to ARIZONA ST; OREGON lost to a team that lost to Arizona ST and OKLA ST lost to IOWA ST for God’s sake. Why are they ranked higher than UGA? Because ESPN SAYS SO…..THAT’S WHY!!!

We beat LSU if:
1. Bobo has a good offensive scheme, we can’t pass long on 1st down, then run up the gut on 2nd down and then expect Murry to stand in the pocket on 3rd and 12! We must hit the quick intermediate routs, bubble screens to our WR and sceens to the backs. The passing game must open up the running game.
2. Murry must be on…..our QB and receivers are better than Bamas when Murry is on and the receivers catch the ball. Murry can’t have a bad qrt…..the long pass will not work unless we play action after we establish a run game…
3. Our special teams need to be special…..it’s time Boykin takes one to the house in a big time game!

If LSU plays as it did against Alabama, it will win. If we decided games on paper, no stadiums need be built. The facts are that teams do unexpected things on the field, and if UGA can avoid mistakes and catch LSU at less than its best, the Dawgs could pull off an upset. Probably won’t happen, but if I were LSU I’d be edgy. A UGA win and it’s probably the Sugar Bowl; a loss and possibly the Outback Bowl. Regardless, UGA is still playing, and not many other teams are.

LSU is a very good team, But they are not invincable, Georgia is still a mystery team, Playing in the weak sister east, Ga has not played the caliber teams that LSU has played and was beaten by two ranked teams to start the season, The dogs have continued to improve each week especially the defense, The offense has talent but lacks a stable running game, If Crowell plays well for the entire game and Murray has an Auburn type game then Georgia has a chance.

THEY NEVER GOT TO PLAY EACH OTHER…..ALL I KNOW IS BAMA IS GOING TO BE AT HOME ON DEC 3 AND THE DAWGS WILL BE PLAYING FOR SEC CHAMPIONSHIP. THE DAWGS DID WHAT THEY HAD TO DO TO WIN THE EAST, BAMA SURE DIDNT. COULD SCORE 1 TOUCHDOWN AT HOME!!!! IF OKIE ST. WINS BY 25 OR MORE AGAINST THE SOONERS NEXT WEEK , I GUARANTEE THEY WILL JUMP BAMA. YEA THEY GOT 1 BAD LOSS AND THEY HAD A TRAGEDY BEFORE THE GAME… BUT THE KEY WORD IS…. THEY WILL HAVE WON THEIR CONFERENCE!!! IF LSU WINS SAT. THEY WOULD HAVE BEAT OREGON, ARK, BAMA AT HOME, NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY WHO PASSED THE 2ND GRADE WOULD WANT A REMATCH OF CONFERNECE FOES UNLESS UR A BAMA SUPPORTER…… BAMA HAD THEIR CHANCE, LETS SEE IF SOMEBODY ELSE CAN BEAT THEM……

Good Luck to Georgia Southern against Old Dominion in the 1st round of the FCS. A win by GSU sets up a possible rematch with Appalacian State which beat GSU during the season.

Ben’s Punches to Fairley didn’t seem to hurt Fairley too bad but you don’t know how bad that could have been.

@UOAD — Please name the “plenty of cheap shots” that Ben Jones has made — apart from the block against MS ST, which he served a suspension for. The shenanigans against AU last year were a result of a poorly officiated game that was allowed to spiral out of control. Fairley should have been ejected along with two other AU players that got ejected during that game. Please cite the “plenty of cheap shots.” I’ll hang up and listen.

Good article. Putting aside rooting interests for a moment, the notion that any team is so good that it is a sure thing against a team that is 10-2 (7-1) is a bit ridiculous. LSU may well beat Georgia, soundly. Or they could end up like the ‘96 Nebraska team or the ‘01 Tennessee team or the ‘98 Kansas State team or the ‘03 Oklahoma team that went into conference championship games as huge favorites and got their rear ends handed to them.

there was a playoff system it is conceivable that a team would lose to another team during the regular season and still make the playoffs, and beat the team that beat them earlier, therefore why is an LSU vs ALA rematch any different. Whoever wins the BCS championship game will be National Champs, not the winner of a conference championship game, just as it would be in a playoff system.

Fans are a little delusional about LSU’s recent history with UGA, ole Richt has owned Mr. Miles. Les Miles is 1-3 against Richt and the Dawgs, his only win in Athens two years ago. They won by a touchdown against a horrible Georgia team. One of the Dawg’s 3 wins included a Tiger beat-down at the vaunted Death Valley. Georgia has much more than a punchers chance against the Tigers, and you’ll see it when the line comes out.
As for the Tech and other SEC haters on here, I really do wish you had a championship game or something meaningful to occupy your time. Instead you’re taking time out of your day to talk trash about a team that has already beaten yours. When you watch the game on Saturday notice all the freshman and sophomores on the field playing for UGA, take a deep breath and get ready for the beat-down next year.

Does anyone really think that Les Miles and his team are going to overlook Georgia and take them lightly on their way to the BCS championship? What arguments are currently being offered on Georgia’s behalf are the same ones offered on behalf of Arkansas…and we all know what happened to them. As an LSU alum, I am looking forward to a competitive, well-fought contest between 2 SEC heavyweights…it may be close, but the outcome will not be in doubt.

Well……my criteria was about “one season not making a trend” and every game in a series is not a trend either……but winning 18 out of 22 is a trend…..and losing 24-20 and going 6-6 in one season is not a trend……and as posted….if you don’t believe me, check Georgia’s record and performance last year…..and then this year.

I don’t know many people in GatorNation who have “doubts” about Muschamp as the Gator head coach. Most of us are very excited about the new culture and the success blueprint he is using in Gainesville to take Florida back to the top. And we are certainly excited about the 70% very talented freshmen and sophs that are on this roster (only 72 of 85 current postions filled by the way). Florida is very talented and good on defense. The offense needs a lot of work….and Muschamp and Weis are already on that job.
But…..I do know a lot of Georgia fans who have a lot of doubts about Muschamp….but GatorNation is not concerned about that.

Nikki- Maybe I misunderstood what was being said, but they said that they expected UGA to overlook Tech w/ the LSU game being next weekend. It didn’t sound to me like they thought UGA wasn’t as good as Tech, but that they thought they just wouldn’t take them seriously. I’m sure when it comes down to it most of the media will pick LSU, but everyone I’ve heard has said that UGA has a chance. So, I don’t understand why people say the media says they don’t have a chance.

Georgia can beat LSU? Yeah, and Dewey can defeat Truman. UGA has been beaten by the only two decent teams they played. The have built their defensive reputation against some of the worst scoring offenses in the country: Kentucky #117, Ole Miss #116, Tennessee #107, Auburn #82, Florida #90, Miss State #87 and NM State #77. Prior to yesterday’s game, the best offense Georgia faced during their winning streak was Vandy at #61.
By contrast, LSU has played and beaten some of the best the NCAA has to offer including Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Georgia will not only lose Saturday, they’ll lose HUGE.

Um, yes you are. Please tell us Jeff, what teams has UGA beaten this year that are even in the same stratosphere as LSU? Name a team that LSU has not killed besides Alabama. By saying that UGA can beat LSU you are saying that you think UGA is better then Oregon and Alabama. If that isn’t drinking the kool-aid then nothing is.

We went through a tough year….but we both know we have a lot of young talent on our teams….and more on the way. Our teams will be doing the punching back for us real soon.
P.S. Ask Destin and others like him…….when was the last time their team won a NC……1980. They are obviously starved for attention….
Destin Dawg is beyond excited this year…..his team is going to Orlando, not Memphis or Shrevport, for a bowl game.

LSU WILL MOST LIKELY WIN …BUT if little old uga does do the impossible then the BCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME will be played between two teams where one did not win there division and the other the conference. TALK ABOUT EMBARRASSING !!!! It will expose the BCS as a fraud….
On the bright side it might blow-up the BCS and return college football to the old system… it was more fun and created a lot better bowl match ups. PS: a few years ago i seem to remember the ESPN talking heads says that “regardless how good UGA is playing right now you simply can’t allow a team that did not even win its division of its conference to play in the BCS championship game.” Oh well … money money money … its the root of all evil.

I guess some people just do not get it. Alabama and LSU are on a whole different level than UGA. I am a UGA fan but I will only go as far to say that UGA is an above average team on the verge of being considered a good team this year. LSU and Alabama right now are about as dominant as the USC teams in the mid early 2000’s that were national championshiop favorites every year. The other top ten through fifteen teams are great but these teams are elite. I am just hoping the dogs play their hearts out and leave it all on the field. Plus this is a good measuring stick to see how UGA matches up with the best in the country.

I can actually see a scenario where UGA could win the SECCG by say one or two points over LSU on a late FG or TD and Alabama and LSU could still play for the NC with neither team winning their conference. That would really stick a fork in the BCS. I know it’s a long shot but it could happen in this already wacky season. I agree Jeff that UGA has better than a puncher’s chance of winning this game!

TampaGator – Tough season for the lizards, but anyone who believes they’re turning into my Daddy’s Vanderbilt is drawing a ridiculous conclusion. I’m of the belief this year was a momentary blip on their radar – they’ll be back. We have to remind ourselves we dominated the 70’s and 80’s – cfb is cyclical. I don’t for a moment believe the Dawgs are at the beginning of a tear against the Gators. I’m hopeful we’ll continue to dominate Tech and play a competitive series with UF. My last UGA/UF game was the Evil Genius debut – I’ll be going back soon now that my oldest is about to graduate from Auburn and his younger brother transfers to Tech from AU. (Out of state tuition is about to kill me!) I don’t think we have much of a chance to beat LSU, but we have a shot, so….who knows?

I am a neutral observer here that has studied both of these teams and so…
It will be a long day for the Dawgs. In the 45-7 category…..Why? LSU is that good. They have been tested and ultimately beaten GOOD teams this season while GA has played well with a schedule that included No one after the Carolina game. So they haven’t been tested at all…
But they will be Saturday. LSU will shut down UGA’s run game early and force Aaron Murray to pass. He is a very good QB, and will do well early but the relentless pressure will see him battered and crushed by the second half.
45-7 LSU…

I don’t know whether Georgia will beat LSU, but they obviously have a chance. What frustrates me is the constant talk that Georgia hasn’t played anyone, has no “quality” wins. When bama beats Auburn by less than we did, everyone considers that to be proof enough that they belong in the NC game. If you look at the stats when we played Auburn, they are just as good as when alabama played them. I think the Dawgs deserve more credit than they are getting.

Nice column Jeff.
I agree, UGA def has a legitimate chance. Shock the world!
I think keys to the game will be:
1) solid special teams. We don’t have to necessarily play better on ST’s but we can’t have any gaffes. And obviously no missed FGs.
2) we have to be able to protect Murray without using extra blockers. They’re secondary is too talented to only have 2 or 3 receivers on obvious passing plays. That means the lines gotta play out of their minds.
3)must establish a run game early. If we become one dimensional we are in for a long day, but if crowell can get going in the first quarter it will open the best part of our game, the play action.
4) obviously this list could be 30 things but these are just a few. The last vital key to success, imo, is we have to open up the playbook. This is our NC, so we need to call plays like it is. I believe if u go head to head and talent against talent it will be hard to beat LSU. We must use 4 or 5 trick plays to keep the D honest. Execution, execution, execution is critical on these.
I’ll be at the game and no matter the outcome I ams so proud if this team’s heart and passion.

The Sheepdawgs have no chance in hell. Rating their defense on the creampuff schedule they had is idiotic. Only Tech and Auburn have winning records of the teams they beat, 3 others are 6-6 if you call that a winning record. Its even worse when you get into conferance records. The teams they beat have a combined record of 14-42. Only Auburn was 4-4 and Florida 3-5 and the rest had 2 conferance wins or less.

Gator fans are delusional to think they will be “back” next season. Now onto more important matters, the case for LSU’s strength of schedule is apparent. However, Bama’s schedule is similar to UGA’s (except for playing LSU). Why are haters on here talking about UGA’s supposed soft schedule, but also proclaiming Bama to be #2 behind LSU when they played virtually the same teams? UGA does have a shot but the realist in me says that LSU will win but it will be closer than many think. I hope that UGA proves me wrong and brings their A game to win the game. I honestly believe that UGA will be somewhere in the top 5 next season given that most players will be back and if everyone stays healthy. Win or lose, I support this team and am proud of their accomplishments this season. GO DAWGS!!!

I’ll be rooting for UGA and hope you are right. I think you are wrong. Sure I do think UGA has a “chance” to win, but it’s a small one. It would be hard to watch the way LSU has played all year and believe it’s more than a small chance. Even in an off day against Alabama, LSU found a way. And it dismantled Arkansas (the Hogs have a better offense than UGA by far, better QB, and much worse defense than UGA). I’m not an LSU fan but I’ve watched them several times this year and we’re talking an elite team.
The Dawgs have come a long way this year and it’s great that we can even be debating this. But LSU is a physically dominating team that has few if any weak spots. So it’s no knock against the Dawgs to say that it would be a miracle win.
I very much hope to be eating these words after the game.

Perrogrande- Yeah, the O-Line is thought to be the weakness on the team, bc they had to shuffle some players in the off season, & Sturdivant got hurt & couldn’t play this yr. Thus, the shuffling. They also had to move J. Anderson who had been moved from the O-LIne to the D-LIne last yr., but they ended up having to move him back to O this yr. in order to try to build some depth. It’s like Jeff said, UGa is better now, & when you have an inexperienced line like that, then it’s obvious that it’ll get better as the season goes along. UGA has one of the biggest lines in the nation, & it’s not bad, but it just doesn’t have a lot of depth. However, that hasn’t seemed to have stopped them so far. It’s understandable that they could get whipped earlier in the yr., & I know LSU has a great defense, but don’t judge a team that’s gotten better by the fact that they struggled earlier in the yr. Also, I know there have been some more recent games, such as KY, where it appeared the line did go back to struggling, but it really appears to me that UGA plays up to the level of their competition, which seems to be something that they normally do. They played lights out against AU & GT, & those teams may not be great, but a lot of people were picking UGA to lose, & they not only beat them, but they did dominate them. I know this appears to be UGAs biggest test, & I’m not saying UGA will win, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that UGA does have a chance.

What a fun time this is and a great atmosphere being at the SECCG. No pressure on the dogs; they can play loose. I don’t think the results will affect LSU playing in NCG. Win or lose, they will still be there. I still think LSU will win, and I’ll keep saying that because if they do, I won’t be let down. But if UGA wins– SEC Champs would be good enough for me while the Tigers and Tide can fight over the scraps.

Go and look at my prior rankings I posted. LSU is ahead of BAMA on their schedule mainly due to LSU IS #1 and they beat BAMA.
Until the EAST/LEAST can get back to where they were 3-4 years ago then UGA will not get any attention.

If Georgia can keep it close to the 4th quarter they certainly could pull the upset. With that said, LSU can score in bunches and quick. They are very good on both sides of the ball and are relentless. It will be interesting to see what Grantham’s defense does to slow down that express. It will probably be LSU 38-17 or Georgia 24-21. This could very well be a great game.

@Tampa Gator: Perhaps you could be factual and tell me where I specifically called you out in my post? I am well aware that UGA was in a similar spot last season, but Rainey and Demps (arguably UF’s best play makers) will be gone next season. In addition, if Driskel is the QB then things look very bleak for the Gators. Muschamp/Weis are not getting the job done as that is painfully obvious. Hard to see the Gators overcoming those obstacles.

blah, blah, blah – UGA can’t beat LSU – yeah, Oklahoma couldn’t lose / Ok. St. couldn’t lose / Nebraska couldn’t lose – well, the fact is – ANYBODY can lose. A bad game, a lucky bounce – yes, we CAN win Saturday. Here’s the rub. IF – and it’s a big if – UGA can play like they did against Auburn – we can stand toe to toe with anybody. The rub is that LSU plays that way EVERY WEEK and we play that way now and again – the questiion is: is this Saturday an Auburn game or a Kentucky game? We will see. Consistency is our main question mark. Not talent – not coaching – not players. I like our D matching up against their offense – I do think their D matches up better against our offense that, once again, has been Jekyl and Hyde. Hey, one thing I know for sure – WE”RE IN THE BIG GAME AND 10 OTHER TEAMS AREN’T!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO DAWGS!

Georgia may have played the easiest SEC conference schedule since the expansion to 12 teams. Tennessee, Florida, and Auburn have never been collectively this bad. They also avoided LSU, Bama, and Arky. I’m not saying they don’t have a chance against LSU, but in my opinion they don’t have any idea of what they are about to encounter in Atlanta this weekend.

Sorry Jeff, but I think you are smoking something on this one….LSU is going to crush UGA and here’s why:
1. UGA lost to ranked teams, Boise and South Carolina, yes UGA beat Auburn who was ranked, but Auburn’s ranking was a joke
2. UGA played a very, I mean very weak schedule this year
3. CMR will do anything to keep his job, including squeaking out a small win streak to get a few more years, and a few more dollars
4. CMR cannot hold a candle to Les Miles and his coaching approach, anyone who thinks otherwise is needs to put their money where their mouth is
4. LSU is bigger, stronger and faster than UGA, and ranked

It must be unbearable to finish off a so-so season with losing the 10th out of the last 11 games to a bunch of “thugs and a preacherman”.

As for LSU and Ala…they are great, but when GSU runs up 300+ yds of rushing offense on UA…they are not perfect, and I don’t want to hear any crap about UA not prepared for the triple option because GSU is an FCS team.

The reason why we can’t play for the national championship with two losses this year (even if we win on Sat.) like LSU in ‘07 is because we deviated from their formula – instead of losing to two highly ranked teams in SC and Boise St., we should have lost to two unranked teams like they did in ‘07.
Honestly, I couldn’t care less. The BCS is such a mess that no one can claim to be a legit champion. In fact, college football has never had a legit “national” champion. Our championship is, and always has been, the Southeastern Conference. Let’s kick LSU’s butt and win No. 13!

UGA and LSU once again for the SECCG. The Dawgs lost to LSU in 2003 and won in 2005. I really believe that UGA would have to play their best game of the year to beat LSU. The bayou bengals are being touted as being great especially since beating Oregon, Alabama and Arkansas – all fabulous football teams. LSU will have all the pressure on them – they’re the best and are expected to win – and UGA will just be plain fired up to prove everybody wrong! If they lose then that is what was expected but anytime I go through a week hearing how great another team is then it would motivate me to play in an unbelievable way just to shock the world. I think this is a very dangerous game for LSU – just keep believing how great you are and how ESPN has already crowned you champs. You still have to play this game and I guarantee you it will not be easy. Keep on believing how great you are and you can very easily be lulled into a false sense of entitlement. Go Dawgs!

I wonder if any of the books about UGA football include the perspective of someone speaking for the late Jan Kemp? The perspective that “student” athletes like Lindsay Scott were playing years without taking college level courses? That the proudest moment of the football program was earned by players who never earned a single college credit?
Dawgtards love to return to 1980, but their memories are really short when it comes to remembering an earthshaking event that happened a few years later that showed the world what a joke UGA athletes were and what a scam artist their beloved Vince Dooley was (and is). So for all those dawgtards with short memories or who think their athletes are actually taking real courses and trying to graduate, here’s the quote that broke the trial wide open and showed what a slimeball Dooley is:
O. Hale Almand Jr., a lawyer for the defense, offered a justification for the favorable treatment accorded the athletes, citing a hypothetical player. “We may not make a university student out of him,” he told the jury, “but if we can teach him to read and write, maybe he can work at the post office rather than as a garbageman when he gets through with his athletic career.”
Nothing has changed at UGA, they just do a slightly better job of keeping things quiet, but that’s hard to do when almost 50 of your player-thugs have been arrested, isn’t it?

If both teams come ready for a war, it’ll be the best game anyone will see all year (even better than LSU/BAMA). UGA has to be reayd though. I think this game won’t be field goals, it’ll be ball protection. UGA has more weapons. LSU has more experience. One turn over could make the winner. I just hope everyone in the bayou and ESPN world keeps putting UGA down and keeps us a big underDAWG…”what does it benefit a team to win the National title, and lose the SEC?” Perfect tee shirt!!

we have never believed marc richt is the right coach to win the national championship
but after the disgrace at penn state and miami and kiffin it is obvious that richt is a decent man which in this day and age of infamy in our government officials maybe is as good as we should hope for
as to LSU it really puzzles me as a life long bulldog why we are so naive to expect an upset
LSU is the deepest toughest team since the chicago bears who won the super bowl in the 80s
they do not have much offense but really we just need to stay close and make it respectable and we will have a wonderfull year given the horrible start and may i remind the readers that we also had a horrible start to the florida game this year which gives us great joy to say is horrible and no longer tebow worthy
it saddens us to think that mettenburger will be their guy next year —maybe we should have put him on probation for a year since he may turn out to be like ben roth at pittsburh stealers
we just hope the line can block for our qb and tiny running backs and if we have one question is why not use boo instead of thomas if samuel is not back
of course we would be in heaven if the dogs would win but dont you think it is too much to expect and we should savor what we have done —my dad up in heaven a fan from the 30s always made excuses for wally butts so i think he is satisfied with what we have done so far

Bringing up the past has no bearing on the present. Mark Richt is not Vince Dooley. UGA did clean up it’s act and raised their athletic academic standards above most if not all other SEC schools. If you want to talk about cheating…go look at Auburn from 2010 and Alabama every year.

As many people have pointed out, LSU will be in NC even if they lose to the dawgies.
If LSU loses to the dawgies, BAMA will be #1, LSU #2. Otherwise, LSU #1, Bama #2.
I paid attention to player sizes during LSU/Ark game. LSU players are so much bigger than Ark players, and they look mismatched. I think dawgie players are similar to Ark in size.
Only Bama can beat LSU. No other team can do it. That’s why Bama should play against LSU in the NC.
SECCG will be an automatic win for LSU. Dawgies have 0 chance.

Rumor has it that the very weak SEC East absolutely humiliated the ACC last night. I heard that Vandy, SC and UGa beat their opponents by almost 10 touchdowns. I also heard that FSU only had a total of 85 yards and 6 first downs in their win over the gators. Hmmmmmm……..maybe the East is a little better than folks are giving them credit…….or maybe the ACC is just plain horrible.

I will say this first…UGA has a chance, if any team lines up and kicks it off the score is 0-0 and a few breaks, a few bad decisions and a great deal of luck will allow a “chance’.
However, UGA is improved, greatly since weeks 1 and 2, but the level of talent 3 and 4 deep that acutally play week in and week out for LSU is so much better than any starter for UGA it is shocking.
There are MAYBE 1 or 2 players on the entire UGA roster that would play for LSU but none would be legitimate starters on The Tiger squad. That does not mean very much with the exception that LSU is really 3 or 4 years ahead of UGA on offense and defense.
Now, lets look at how UGA can put yards in the stats sheet and points on the board.
UGA will have to make very quick throws to recievers on quick 7 and outs or less. Trying to throw long balls will take time and LSU and their pass rush will come at every angle and put Murray on his back often and quick. The second thing UGA will have to do is keep the ball in 5 and 6 minutes spurts. Giving the ball over to LSU will cause some major issues for UGA and the Fullback lead block Toss Run with their 4 great running backs. The UGA offense must use misdirection as much as possible and allow LSU’s quick defenders to over pursue. LSU is very quick on defense and their players are as quick if not quicker than UGA’s offensive players.
Final thing, and this is going to sound strange. Go after No.7. He is a horrible defender and if anyone watches tape from Alabama and Arkansas you will see he gets beat on crossing routes and corner routes. When he tackles he goes directly for the ball and is not a very good open field tackler. Mitchell verse TM7 would be the matchup I would look for.
Use the TE on quick routes and punt away from LSU on every kick.

Formula for beating LSU: Hold LSU under 150 yards rushing. No screw ups on special teams. No turnovers and at least 100 yards rushing for the Dawgs. Put the heat on Jefferson and make him throw interceptions. I just hope Richt doesn’t play this game to conservative on offense. When Georgia gets inside the 20 they have to go for TD’s. and not field goals. I am concerned about Tyson’s ankle and of course Crowell. This is the biggest game of the year so far – even bigger than Bama vs LSU. Bama lacks a balanced offense and LSU loaded up to stop the run.

Fellow Dawgs our team matches up well with LSU, some of those posting have not watched the games because if they had they would see what I have seen. This team, yes they are a team, has grown in confidence this year and are playing really well. Especially on defense, Coach Grantham and his staff seem to be able to recognize what the other team is doing and make adjustments as needed. This is because we have guys who understand their roles and what needs to be done.
Will we beat LSU, only YAHWEH and JESUS know for sure, but in my humble opinion the Dawgs will win or at least make a real game of it.

you could be right. But both the coaches’ poll and Harris put OSU at #5, although AP puts it at #3, while AP doesn’t count. That tells me OSU has no chance to be #1 even if they win.
Remember Bama was only dropped 1 spot after loss to LSU. I don’t believe voters will drop LSU much even if they lose to the dawgies, considering the body of work they’ve done thru the season.

Sure, LSU is good, but they’re not the freaking 85 Bears.
LSU is undefeated, but they only have two noteworthy wins. They beat Oregon at home (in the season opener), and of course they beat Bama by 3 in overtime in Tuscaloosa. Of those, the win at Alabama is way more impressive. Otherwise, they’ve beaten teams they should’ve beaten. Good grief, they beat West Virginia, who went on to lose to Syracuse and Louisville. Arkansas has been ranked way too high all year, and LSU exposed them for what they were. LSU’s remaining schedule looks strangely like Georgia’s.
All in all, as a Dawg fan I’d much rather play LSU than Alabama.

Offensively i think we can match their athletes but without Crowell in there, we become more 1 dimensional. Crowell is proned to be injured alot, from mild injury to an injury 8th graders get. He’s very timid when it comes to getting hurt that i’d worry if a hang nail would sideline him.
The more and more he takes himself out of games the more i tend to believe he’s actually afraid of getting hit hard.
“Them boy’s hit harder than Highschool”. Time to start looking for another tailback im sorry to say. Crowell wont be a factor in this game. It’ll come down to protection on the Offensive line. Can they give Murray time in the pocket to throw?
LSU has a very good front 4 and is solid at DB’s. Look for alot of passing from Georgia. This will come down to Special Teams and Turn-Overs.
If Murray doesnt throw interceptions, or we dont fumble the ball and if we cover kick-offs and punts then it should be close.
Georgia’s Defense has got to stop the run, yeah i know were ranked #2 against the run but throw out statistics. The whole key is pass rush and not allowing LSU to establish the run.
Our Defense should yet again lead the charge and dictate the momentum of the game. Force them to pass where there just average at best.
Yes we can beat them!
But if we dont protect Murray and we dont do well on special teams, and we turn the ball over then we could lose by 24 points.
Which team will show up is the question? Are they focused? This to me is the National Championship Game for Georgia.
Losing is out of the question. Showing a Nationally televised game that youre better than what everyone saw with Boise St. and S. Carolina is what its about.
Forget the bowl game, focus solely on LSU and shut them down!
They have nothing to prove cause their No.#1, yes they want to win the SEC but im thinking their more focused on who they’ll play for the National Championship because they think Georgia hasnt played anyone thats good besides Boise.
Dont let up! Play like theres no tomorrow! This could put a “UMPH” on this season and place a Bulldog Team where none has been before.

Lack of Florida fans in Gainesville last night????? There were approx. 84,000 of them and 10,000 or so FSU fans….as normal……..the place was completely sold out…..and very, very loud. I am not sure where you get your information. My brother had my tickets and told me the place was packed and as loud as ever…..very loud.
Hate to break this to you, but it was more like 25,000 FSU fans there, I was there and stayed the entire game and as a Gator grad I was embarrassed that many FSU fans were sitting in seats normally held by Gators.
It was our worst showing of fans since Coach Zook.

The way the BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP was set up and has been implemented from the very beginning, prohibit a rematch between two opponents in the same division of a two division conference from playing. Particulary since the two teams played at the end of the season. What can be gained from those two playing again? If you have two great teams playing in the same division…..it is understood not only between those two teams, but the fans and voters as well……when they play during the regular season, that game is their fair shot at a NATIONAL TITLE. There will be no second chances. How could there be with so many other competitive teams to consider. If LSU is to win the National Championship, they have to punch the same ticket as anyone else. WIN YOUR CONFERENCE. There are no gimme’s in football.
They (LSU–ALABAMA) played their best and the best team won…..that day. If they played each other 10 times, who knows which team would come out ahead. That’s just not how the Championship in division 1A is decided with the exception of CONFERENCE TITLES.

Fact is, Boise St would still beat UGA if they played tomorrow, and SC just might too.

I have been going to THE SWAMP for the FSU game for 30 years…..and Florida fans always sell tickets to FSU fans (many sit around me)…..same thing when the Gators go to Tallahassee. For example, a friend sold his 4 tickets for $150.00 each…..to a FSU group. They sat right behind my brother. Nothing unusual at all about last night. The playing of the war chant all night just makes it seem like there are more FSU fans than they really are…..the same was true for the Bama game this year….when the price for the ticket was even higher…….for Bama fans. Also….there are tons of Gator grads living in Jax….as in Tampa…..and that is why the Outback is always after the Gators as well….and why the Outback Bowl….when the Gators are in it….is a home game for the Gators.

Can we all just get over an LSU v. Alabama rematch. The BCS National Championship does one thing…it matches the #1 and #2 teams. There is nothing about winning a conference championship in the formula. The argument, if one wants to make it, can be with the human polls and voters. If a voter believes that winning a conference championship elevates a team above non-conference champions, then they can vote that way. Obviously, some sort of playoff with conference champions and at-large wild cards could create a model more like professional sports.

I was totally uncharacteristic and I WILL say this, we did not look like a team who deserve to be in any New Years Day bowl last night. I have been a season ticket box holder along with my father and three brothers for over 40 years( my father, myself for 19 years and my brothers 20 plus each) and that showing by our fans last night was totally out of balance. I am telling you, there were 25,000 plus fans there last night that were out and out right FSU fans and at times they were louder than we were and that is not even counting the band and support staff.
We did not show last night as fans and now the reports here on Jacksonville Television is that Auburn will get the invite. Just stating what is being reported and what I saw last night.

Boise is good 1 lose, Carolina is good with 2 losses considering they play what was suppose to be there backup now, and there Coach clearly stated we beat them, but we “gave” them the game.

2. Jordan Reed is a future star at TE for Florida. He did not play last night due to an injured ankle. Played well against Georgia….and played TE for the first time this year….terrific athlete and has great hands. Just needs to learn how to block better. Played QB against Georiga last year. The Gators also have A.C. Leonard, another TE who is a true freshman. And they already have the commitment from the #1 TE in the country, Colin Thompson…and the #1 TE from Florida. And the #1 TE in Georgia is currently deciding between Bama and Florida…and he was in the SWAMP last night.
3. Matt Jones……the best power back in Florida at 6′2 and 220 is already committed to Florida and the player Bama wanted really badly…and had until Meyer resigned. Also….Mike Davis is on the way too….and his is an excellent inside outside runner as well.
4. Florida also needs more depth on the OL….and Chris Humphries and Jassmen Dunker are already on board…..and Humphries was in Gainesville trying to get Young to come to Florida as well…..and Avery was extremely impressed by the Gators last night (and grew up a Gator fan).

LSU has inflated heads and are feeling pretty good about themselves. I am fine with the entire nation underestimating the Dawgs. We have the 2nd best run defense behind Alabama, one of the top ball-hawks in the country in Rambo, the 2nd best LB corp in the conference, and the best QB in the conference. LSU has a good defense and that is it. Their offense is pedestrian. They rely on special teams and turnovers for the majority of their points. I would much rather be playing LSU than have to be chasing Richardson around all night. UGA definitely has more than punchers chance, but lets not let everyone else know that.

If Ga beats LSU next week we automatically get a bid to the sugar bowl. Everybody on gameday is saying LSU and Alabama are playing in the national championship game, even if LSU loses to Ga. Last time I checked, only two teams from each conference are allowed to play in the BCS bowl games. Is there a loop hole here for LSU to get in, even despite a loss to Georgia, or am I missing something here. Go Dawgs.

Very well said.

From where I sit: the kool aid is tasting mighty good right now. It’s been a long time since we’ve been in this position and “I am enjoying it”. Let’s talk reality vs smack. LSU is big time, we haven’t been there in memory. They hurt people and bring pain. We need a lot to happen, and go right, to win.
1. Our D has to show up, make plays, give us field position through turnovers, and a score, or two.
2. This is what IC came to UGA for, either he shows up Saturday or send him packing.
3. I don’t see our offense scoring anymore than 10 points vs LSU, their D is lights out.
4. Mark Richt is on the “big stage”. Can he avoid the “deer in the headlights” look that he has displayed in the past?
Not trying to throw water on the fire of enthusiasm folks, but let’s be real, this “IS” prime time, even though a win won’t get us a NC. We aren’t even getting enough respect to crack the top 10. We fell a spot after “whipping” Tech. Why? We haven’t beaten anyone. No wonder the rest of the world laughs at our fan base. Let’s earn the stripes before we wear them, please!!
I hope we represent ourselves well, we have a chance if we play well and get a few breaks.

I suspect some LSU fans to be on here up until the SECCG but not too long after that. Also how do some of you self proclaimed geniuses have the amount of smug and arrogance to predict what will happen in the future in terms of the SECCG and the MNC. Are you a god?

Why the hell do you think Urban quite Florida for the sake of “spending more time with his family and health problems” so that he could coach OSU two years later? Urban coached Tebow with passion but he was unable to handle post-Tebow with the pressures that come with expected SEC greatness. Sorry TGator…but I always felt Urban was out of his “conference” when he signed on with the SEC…Urban may have been successful in Pac 10-12, but what a wimpy-ass conference which is exactly WHY he’s ready for OSU..A-Nother wimpyass conference. .. On a few degrees of separation, Auburn, UF and FSU are related through Fisher and Muschamp in a weird sort of way.

If UGA DOES win the game, don’t you think that LSU, should they stay at the top of the BCS rankings (unlikely, I know) would want their rematch to be against the Dawgs? And if Alabama goes to #1 would they still want that rematch with the Tigers or would they want to take on their conquerors? Either way, this game is UGA’s National Championship game. Win, and if LSU goes on to take the BCS title then UGA has bragging rights that no other team in the nation can claim (that of beating the MYTHYCAL national champion). And the fact that we’re even hearing the excuses for a LSU-Bama rematch exposes the hypocrisy of the BCS along with the inordinate influence of the Mothership (ESPN). They are flouting the very reasons that they put out to keep UGA from playing for the BCS title in 2007. If Oklahoma were in our position in 2007 there would have been no debate – OU would have been in the BCS CG. The politics are taking the fun out of college football. A handful of teams get a leg up just for their history and tradition. AP ranked USC in front of UGA because they upset Oregon. The SEC’s USC is STILL ranked in front of the Dawgs even though they aren’t the division champs from their conference. Sure, they beat us by 3 at home. They also lost to Auburn by 3 at home, the same Auburn that UGA destroyed 45-7. Arkansas also hung 44 on the Gammecock D, the only other team other than the Dawgs to score more than 40 on their “vaunted” defense. The Harris Poll is a travesty; the voters apparently don’t do much more than look at the scores on Sunday morning, seemingly ignorant of what happened on the field. Bottom line – something MUST be done about human bias and the self-proclaimed unbiased computers. The computers carry the bias of their programmers, protestations to the contrary. The Big 12 got a heck of a lot more love than merited by them. They don’t even bother to play defense in that conference. And does anyone really believe there’s a better 2-loss team in the country than UGA? Their losses came in the first two games of the season to teams that are both ranked in the top 12, and they’ve put up 10 straight wins since. GT won 6 in a row to start the season and achieved a higher ranking than the Dawgs have gotten to yet. They were STILL ranked after losing 3 of 5 since then. Clemson lost to GT and NC State and stayed in front of UGA in the BCS standings. How can you explain that? You can’t.
First things first. Eliminate ESPN’s lobbying efforts. No network should hold the sway that they seem to have. Get rid of the Harris Poll and invite the AP back into the BCS mix. They have more integrity than the Harris Poll could ever dream of maintaining. Further reduce the computers’ influence until and unless they can eliminate some obvious biases (UGA was ranked between 11 and 15 by all computers a couple of weeks ago save one, which inexplicably didn’t have the Dawgs ranked at all; that’s absurd). And the NCAA should grow a set and take control of the national championship process no matter how convoluted and controversial it is. Their abdication of authority has resulted in making conference championships almost meaningless.

LSU beats UGA by at least 3 touchdowns next weekend. While UGA has gotten better as the season has progressed, they are not on the same level as LSU. LSU has a shot to play for the National Championship, and I don’t see a Les Miles team showing up in the Dome not ready to play. They were down 14 to Arkansas, but that didn’t phase them at all. UGA doesn’t have the athletes or the depth of LSU. The UGA defense gave up 355 total yards to Tech’s offense, while getting 380 total yards themselves. LSU is not Tech, and UGA is not Alabama.

I watched the the UGA/GT game and the LSU/ARK game on split screen simultaneously and my 4 yr. told me to “fast forward daddy, turkey jowls is scaring me” any time the cameras showed a closeup of Paul Johnson. Hilarious. I’ve watched both of these games twice and my conclusion is…
All of the haters out there are hilarious. Strength of schedule or opponents records don’t mean squat. What matters is that the UGA has won 10 in a row with 7 SEC wins and are playing pretty good football. As a fan, it’s also rewarding to have wins over UF, UT and GT in one season.
Those of you say that this team is not a good team have neither watched them play or obviously don’t know anything about football. I realistically like the chances of this team against pretty much any team that I’ve seen play this year and I’ve watched alot of the top teams in the country.
I’m proud of these guys, especially the seniors, they deserve this year. I’m also proud of the coaching staff as they’ve found a way to put together a decent game plan, week after week despite the distractions. I hope that they can put together a doozy this week.
I do believe that this team can play with the Tigers this weekend. I watched them dismantle ARK and they are playing the best football right now in the country, no doubt they are the best and would beat any other team that I’ve seen play in the NC but if UGA can put together 60 mins. of complete football, clicking on all cylinders, I believe that they are capable of playing with LSU and beating them. On any given Saturday, anything is possible.

On a sidenote: With the BCS being run like a beauty pageant, I don’t see much reward for the Dawgs even if they do pull off the upset. In fact, if the SEC was run by the BCS or ESPN, Saban, Miles and Spurrier would rotate as national champions no matter what their team’s actually won/loss records.
Don’t get me wrong; I’d love to see my dawgs go to the Sugar Bowl but… here’s betting that even a decided win over LSU will see UGA move no more than one or two points up in those faux rankings. In fact, we may actually get bumped down a few because the booth apes and desk jocks didn’t like the final score.

One thing I don’t get is 1/3 of BCS comes from one poll, 1/3 from another poll and 1/3 from computer rankings.
Which one of these 3 can honestly put Va Tech at number 5?
They played 4 games to start the season with,

Bama out played LSU only to lose in OT by 3 after missing 4 field goals and having an INT stripped from our TE on the LSU 1 yard line. Bama punted only TWO times in the game yet only scored 6 points. Everyone associated with the Bama program is very confident of our chances with LSU.
Bad Dawg… aubiewonknobi is right. Crimson Tide fans do have a mentality that our program is the greatest in collegiate sports… 13 National Championships and 22 SEC Championships will do that.

ALMOST any team has a chance to win a game. David did beat Goliath, App St beat Michigan, it just doesn’t happen often. Vegas isn’t a town the size of Mayberry for a reason. With the right breaks UGA should be in the game. The problem is eventually thinks do even out.

Bobo needs to call mis-direction plays and screens to slow down their rush. It’ll be hard to run east to west because they have speed as well.
LSU feeds off interceptions and turn overs. Please hold onto the ball and protect it. Richt has got to make sure the special teams cover well on punts and kickoffs.
If Georgia has no turnovers and less penalties i think we’ll win. If we dont stop the run and give them new life off 3rd downs with penalties, they’ll win.
Im just not sure Georgia wants this game, or if they can get up to play and compete on the field. They blitz alot, and their tough against the run. Can Georgia’s O Line open up holes and be dominant upfront?
This may very well come down to kicking and special teams inwhich we have suffered various times this year.
I dont think we have been blown out this year but Ga. Tech did get alot of rushing yards. I still believe in my Dawgs but the more pragmatic side is that LSU will win by 10 or 13 pts.
I just think that were not gonna be able to run, our special teams will suffer at some point, our kicking game is not solid and the Offensive line has not come together as a unit when we’ve played a very good defense.
Remember LSU has found ways to win and you need some luck to go undefeated, but they have risen to win against W. Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas and Oregon while on the road. We can win if this is the same team who beat Auburn but not the same team who lost to Boise State.

Most Bama fans I know are “horses a$$es”. Regardless of their fans, I have to give Saban his due, he’s done what he was hired to do, I think he wins the rematch vs LSU.

I personally see no reason for a bama fan to be here, if they are better than us in terms of coaching, recruiting, and rankings (and they are) then why belittle a UGA team who has not played Bama since 2008 (and lost)? It makes no sense to me so I just figure most are a bunch of tech fans posing but maybe I am wrong maybe Alabama fans have a reason to be here.

It is so funny to listen to all of these Tech, Bama, LSU, and even Tenn. fans come on this blog and disrespect UGA. I wasn’t thrilled with Richt and his coaching staff after 2 games, but i have to say, this team has grown up this year. For all of you idiots that think UGA has to play the game of their lives to beat LSU, i have a couple of stats for you. UGA beat Auburn and Miss.State worse than the mighty Tigers. UGA had 2 backs rush for over 100 yards, and rushed for over 300 yds against Auburn, something the mighty Tide and LSU couldn’t do. Also, UGA held Ga.Tech to 243 yards rushing, which was the #2 rushing offense in the nation, and the mighty Tide allowed Ga.Southern which runs the same offense as Tech, to rush for over 300 yds. Ga.Southern is a division 2 school. Also, just so you people understand how ESPN hypes LSU and Bama as the greatest teams in the world, a few more facts. The team in the SEC with the most tackles for loss is UGA, not the mighty Bama,or LSU defense. The team that leads the SEC in sacks is UGA, not the mighty Bama or LSU. And the team that leads the SEC in limiting 3rd down conversations is UGA, not the mighty Bama or LSU. Just a few more facts for you idiots, the top rated Q.B. in the SEC in Q.B ratings and T.Ds is UGA’s Murray with 32. Not the pathetic LSU Q.B, or Bama’s Q.B. The leader in the SEC in sacks and tackle for losses is Jarvis Jones, not an O.L. from Bama, or from LSU. And the leader in interceptions in the SEC is Rambo of UGA, not one of the all world D.B’s from Bama or LSU. Last time i checked UGA has more big time playmakers on offense and defense than the MIGHTY Tide or LSU. Also last time i checked UGA has as many 4 and 5 star athletes as Bama or LSU, not to mention the fact that UGA’s defense is ranked 4th, and LSU’s is ranked 2nd, but UGA’s offense is ranked 31st in the country and LSU is around 70th. So for anybody to say UGA would have to shock the world, and play out of their minds to beat LSU, you obviously are drinking the ESPN cool-aid. UGA want shock the world if it beats LSU, it will only shock ignorant bloggers that have no clue about what they are talking about.

Anyone making comparisons to 2005 needs to be reminded of the fact that that LSU team was absolutely on fumes after the Katrina-Rita double whammy and playing 12 games straight with no bye. This is a totally different scenario – UGA has NOT seen a team like LSU or really even close, this year. In some ways UGA actually does seem to match up better than some teams – there is at least some balance on offense if Crowell can be effective, but LSU did hold #3 to under 90 yards in Tuscaloosa. Both teams are actually quite young, so this may be the first of 2 straight meetings in early Dec. for the SEC championship.

Why are so many Dawg fans comparing this LSU team to what happened in 2005? LSU was no wear close to as deep as they are this year. Aside from that let me give you a reminder of what you have conveniently forgotten while looking through your black and red glassess.
LSU played the SEC championship having gone 10 weeks without a bye and had a home game moved to a road game due to not 1 but 2 hurricanes interrupting the 05 season. They were flat and UGA showed up ready to play. UGA was the better team that night, but not that season. Want proof? LSU played Miami in the GA Dome 3 wks later and destroyed them 40-3 with their BACKUP QB, since Jamarcus Russell missed that game after seperating his shoulder against UGA. UGA went on to lose in a glorified home game to WVU 38-35, but was down 28-0 in the 1st half.
Only chance UGA has next Saturday is for a mental let down by LSU. Dont count on it!!!! LSU is focused, prepared, and hungry. LSU rolls 38-13 pulling away in the 2nd half as they have done most of the season.

The conference championship game will be a huge challenge but it will show us where we really are. The problem with LSU is that Arkansas played a pretty good game, gave the proper effort and never quit, playing with heart until the end. The game never “lloked like a blow-out” but the score wasn’t close.
We can play well and get the same result.

BCS = Before Commodore Sixtyfour, as in guys moving beads to come up with the answer they want. Hey, the Techies (and they know everything about computers) told us GT was a top team and UGA was just terrible, along with the SECE. The rankings showed we would lose, and Sports Illustrated and ESPN both bought into it. Even Johnson was beating the ACC drum, implying that the East would lose to the ACC. The only problem is that we crushed GT. But look, we don’t care about the outcome of the Tech game or even the LSU game–Georgia stinks no matter the consequences on the field.

I agree there is a chance to win if they totally get lucky and LSU screws up on every play about a 5% one. In reality though UGA will lose by 3 4 or more touchdowns Ricth and BoBo get another contract by beating all of these wonderful teams in a row and things will go on as they have for years.

I’d have to give Georgia the edge on both Offense and Defense. Better receivers and most assuredly RB if he plays. Georgia has 5 weapons on Offense while LSU has 3. Our QB is better than theirs. I think as far as getting points Georgia’s front line will have to move LSU’s front 4.
Special Teams and kicking go to LSU.
This game comes down to how good Georgia’s Defense plays against the rush and how well Georgias offensive line does.
We have to give LSU respect because they are No.#1 and have played alot better teams than Georgia. But still i dont think this is a cake walk for LSU. If both come to play i dont think either team will win by more than 4 pts.
LSU has to be considered the favorite no matter what. Theyre suppose to be the better team. We can lay down hypothetical situations all night long, but i still think it will come down to turnovers and special teams.
LSU cant win without turnovers.
We’re the ones that have to prove we belong there against LSU and not LSU. This is Georgia’s unofficial BCS Championship game and not LSU’s.
They will find it hard to get up for this game like Georgia can. They’re focused more on who they’ll be playing for the BCS than a give-me SEC Title game.
It just depends on who shows up Saturday and wants it more. LSU isnt playing a soft team like Rutgers or Bowling Green and they know it.
I just dont think LSU has much respect for Georgia based on who Georgia has played this year and keeps thinking in their minds that they are the better team because theyve played better ranked teams and won.
But anything can happen, its the SEC.
If any of you think that theres no way Georgia can beat LSU the look back at history. If you dont think Georgia can then why even watch the game, go on out and do something else besides watch it.
You cant can you?
If Georgia wins then KAPOW, LSU’s dream has gone and Georgia still goes to the Sugar Bowl. LSU goes to possibly a smaller Bowl Game.
If Georgia loses they still go to the Sugar Bowl. Then we’re still not gonna be dissapointed by Georgia. Either way LSU fans will be on the edge of their seats praying and hoping LSU wins.

We may be going in that direction but I’m afraid it will sound like a drum roll, our players hitting their helmets needing to come out of the game. Don’t think we’re ready for that type of game yet. Remember, a lot of us drank the kool aid and thought we were ready for Boise. They were unknown to us, we hadn’t faced a team like that. LSU’s an unknown, we haven’t faced a team like them. I will take the fighters chance, but won’t be so bold as some of you.

I have sat here and read nearly 18 pages of comments from many many people who have probably never played the college game, officiated a college game, coached a college game, attended a college game and probabably never been on a campus of a college game.
The BCS has been changed a total of 4 time since the inception. The goal of the BCS is to place the two best teams as decided by three different entities. Those entities are sole decision makers who each make up a third 1/3 of the entire process. The teams selected are not required to win a conference title, play in a conference title, or even play 12 games to reach the BCS Title game.
Our unwavering goal is place the top two teams in the BCS Title game who have demonstrated through their play throughout the entire season as decided by the our three component partners.
Our system is not perfect, but in the end it offers us the opportunity to place those teams selected by our components to play in the title game to determine a champion. No one outside the BCS is required to recognize our champion but it offers a definite alternative to the numerous former champions named by up to 17 various groups, committees, new publications, sports publications or special interest groups.

According to the ESPN rule applied in 2007 against UGA (If you don’t win your conference you should not play for the BCS crown) Ala is ineligible to play for the NC. If UGA defeats LSU then LSU would becime ineligible also along with Ark. UGA would have a 11 game winning streak including a win over the #1 ranked team. Therefore UGA should jump to the top of the heap and play some other conference champion for the NC. Most of you won’t agree but it is the only reasonable conclusion to this mess. Whether or not UGA plays for the NC if they defeat LSU the three SEC reps (LSU/ALA/ARK) should not play for the NC if they weren’t good enough to win their own conference. This is why we need a playoff to determine the real champion and not a champion of opinion.

Now here they are at 10-2 and representing the East in the SECCG. Few pundits are giving them a chance in this game. No matter what, I would rather they lose this game rather than not getting the chance to play in it at all. Hats off to the team and the coaches for not giving up when the odds were stacked against them. GO DAWGS!!!

so has Alabama
Auburn has too many times to count
USC has
Oklahoma has
Ohio State has………..etc.
Jan Kemp was embarressing and an indictment on college football in general, but UGA saw no major probation……………which btw was over 25 years ago.
College kids drinking underage………that is clearly exclusive to UGA’s football team. No other football team has issues with that. No other schools undergrads have had a DUI.
There is also a clear link between UGA and the fact that the state of Georgia has a lot of poorer rural areas which contributes to test scores……………actually wait, no there is no link whatsoever.

after plowing through 800+ comments (many of them about florida for some inexplicable reason), i’ve determined that the people who used phrases like “book it” or “delusional” are the ones who most need to revisit their assumptions about reality.
it’s going to be a good football game on saturday. i think that my dawgs are much better than the haters think and not nearly as good as some of the homers think. i don’t expect to win this game and no georgia fan should, but i think schultz is right to say that we CAN win it. the key will be protecting murray and pressuring jefferson. our QB has to play better than theirs. that’s the bottom line.
we’ll need a great effort from everyone to stay with LSU, but i have every confidence that we’re going to get it. all we can ask from our boys is that they do their jobs and not quit. if we get those two things, i’m happy to let the chips fall where they may. our boys already have a lot to be proud of, and i for one expect them to continue to honor the uniform and the “G” on saturday.

BCS guy…. I am willing to bet that a majority of your voters hardly watch any college games and just look at the scores to determine the better team. Many coaches admit that they don’t have the time to watch the games due to their involvement in coaching during the week and on game day. The fans even with their bias are more qualified to vote on a poll than these imposters that you currently use. You say that a team doesn’t have to be a conference champion to play for the BCS crown but in 2007 your bosses (ESPN) campaigned against UGA because they weren’t the conference champ and allowed LSU to play although they were not the best team. At the end of the year UGA was clearly the best team in the nation and would have defeated LSU or Ohio State. However the lobbying by ESPN got LSU to jump over teams to play in the NC game. I know the BCS game is in your best interest and a playoff system would put you out of business but that is what is needed to improve the game for the fans.

“They didn’t because they aren’t nearly good enough. How much better then Arkansas is UGA?”
Bob, to be honest posts like this are where you get yourself in over your head bud. You are asking a meaningless, hypothetical question. We won’t know how we measure up against Arkansas this year because we won’t play them. As you of all people should know, using games already played to measure future performance is risky at best. The Clemson Lesson should have taught you that forever; you won that game but once it is done, it is done and means nothing about how you will perform in the future.
Against LSU we will win or we will lose but Arkansas has nothing to do with it. Its up to us to do our best and that is all any team can do. If we pull off the upset, it simply extends a really enjoyable run. If we come up short, we will still be enjoying a very rewarding season and no amount of carping from fans of teams we’ve already beaten will take anything away from it.

SEC Fact Finder

11:31 pm
I am not one who likes to argue with folks,but I will give my two cents as I have seen every team in the SEC with exception of Kentucky and have seen every team at least twice with the exception of Kentucky and Ole Miss.
First, LSU is very very deep, very very fast and very very well disciplined. UGA has improved from the Boise St. and USC games. The players injured early are back on defense which has allowed some other players some valuable playing time. Coach Grantham has done a good job of moving players around to find out who best suits his style of play and puts UGA in the best position to win.
With that said, I can say that LSU has very huge athletic players at every position and are 3 deep at most. Their offensive line has played 9 various lineup and substitue often series to series and move lineman to different positions to help them game plan better. Their fullbacks are NFL caliber players who are like pulling guards with speed.
UGA has a better quarterback, and better wide recievers. The issue I see UGA having is not the outside rush but the inside gaps being filled play to play forcing the center and guards to double team leaving some DT, outside linebackers to play one on one with tackles and off guards. The occasional blitz package from LSU will force smaller running backs to block some very agile big men from LSU. The TE’s from Georgia will need to be able to block as well as they have proven they can catch.
The Offense of LSU is not that difficult to defend, but the adaptiveness and altering of plays by their quarterback and running backs force man to man coverage and linebackers who must stay in position and not over pursue.
This game will be about power and not speed. This game will be about Depth not Individual players.
Good luck to both teams in the SEC CG.

They believed at 0-2 and they damn sure believe now! If they play like they did against Auburn, look out! If they play like they did against Kentucky it’s going to be a long nite.

I see this game as the exact opposite of the 2005 UGA/LSU game. That night UGA was the superior team and proved it. Saturday night UGA will meet a bigger, faster, stronger team than they’ve faced the entire season. You can talk stats and how the two teams will match up until you’re blue (or should I say red) in the face. It won’t matter. Before each and every game this season I’ve read all the same comments that I’m seeing here, read all the same articles from writers like Jeff, heard all the arguments. Saturday night UGA will be just another team that LSU dominated in the second half, leaving UGA and fans to talk about how “we gave the game away” or how “if we didn’t make those mistakes” we would have won.

some funny people on here. LSU doesn’t run a triple option, but JJ can run. And if you don’t cover wel, he can also throw. It is that 5;10″ 240 Hilliard that will make you pay. Oh by the way, they get Blue back who can flat out fly. Neither of them are their leading backs, but both have lead them in rushing this year in a game. Their O and D line will be the test for UGA.
The D line speed is the killer. UGA zone blocking better be spot on or else, Murray will suffer the same fate as Wilson – a lot of hurries and eating a lot of turf.

Yall are out of your mind to strongly believe yall have a chance in taking us down! Last year was a down year for LSU who still went to the cotton bowl and whooped up on a strong Tx A&M. LSU has been short for just bout every game all year. Short 5 starters against a Oregon team that would be a top three team right now if they had not injured lamichael jame in that game. Without our starting QB for the first 4 games, and led by general lee undefeated so far. Going to WV, a hell whole for away game, and whooping up on a team that averaged 450+ passing yards a game. And lets face it, Auburn, Tennessee, and Fla are absolutely awful this year in the SEC. We took down auburn 1st qtr while missing Tyrann, Ware and Simon (2 starting corners and our star RB). ITS DEPTH! When it comes to depth, were more loaded than any team in the nation. The line drawn between 1st and 2nd string doesnt exist for this LSU defense. and for Fla, I know the excuse of oh its a crazy rivalry yall have against fla, but no they exposed all of your weaknesses that game while we put them away 1st qtr. clean and clear. Arkansas is our big rival for the golden boot, and howd we look puttin them to shame with 3 touchdowns in 5 minutes in the end of the 2nd quarter scoring on special teams, running the ball and passing. Eric Reid who saved the Bama game with an interception on the 1 yd line was on the sideline the arkansas game, tyrann doesnt know how to play safety when he was asked to do so and whatd he do? 2 forced fumbles, 8 solo tackles and a touchdown. We even went TO tuscaloosa to hold them to 6 points. the bama team who was a favorite at home. No excuse about missing field goals either, its part of the game to have a special teams, WE DOMINATE SPECIAL TEAM OVER EVERYONE IN THE NATION! Hard Defense fought all game. LSU went 60 minutes hard on Nov. 5th! Its every high school football players dream in LA to play and win a championship in the superdome in nola. the past 2 times its been in nola we’ve won it! you think the dawgs are going to interupt that? no sir! this teams got too much determination, too much swag, theyre too relentless, too deep and always fresh on every snap of the game! theyre hungry! yeah yall have gotten better every game. but guess what so has every other team in the nation, ESPECIALLY LSU! beating 7 ranked teams this year and 3 top 3 teams! they want it all and theyre gonna get it! Dont compare who can match up with who. Dont compare our statistics to your statistics. Dont compare your size to our size. Tyrann’s 5′9 – the true definition of “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog”. Numbers dont mean a thing come the first whistle at the beginning of the first qtr. LSU has and is rolling all season long, going to the ga dome just gets them going! Hope yall are scared, youre in for a treat.

5150, maybe you can answer my question. UGA fans obsess about UGA and Tech fans obsess about UGA-all year long for both. When we win, nothing takes away from our enjoyment. When we lose , no other team’s misfortune makes us feel any better. You guys, however, live and die more through UGA than you do your own team. Why is that?
This week we’ll be thinking about LSU. We won’t think about Tech again until the week of the game next year. Wouldn’t it be less stressful for you guys to enjoy your season and play the “what if” game with your bowl possibilities than constantly obsessing about UGA’s chances against LSU? Do you at least see my point?

Calm down dude. I think it is a valid question. Why do you obsess about UGA? And I’m on the blogs here and there as time allows during the week. You need to learn to control your temper and your language, even obscenities you try to mask with single letters.
Actually I love talking football, especially UGA football. I just don’t understand why you obsess so much about us instead of your own team. It can’t be fun when we win the vast majority of the time.
I don’t think our coaches or our players are perfect but I see a team that has worked hard to get better with each passing week. Your drivel won’t change my mind that we are a good football team that continues to improve. I look forward to the challenge that LSU presents but I can promise you that I will be able to maintain a certain level of self control, win or lose. You should try to do the same.

“LSU is undefeated, but they only have two noteworthy wins. They beat Oregon at home (in the season opener), and of course they beat Bama by 3 in overtime in Tuscaloosa. Of those, the win at Alabama is way more impressive. Otherwise, they’ve beaten teams they should’ve beaten. Good grief, they beat West Virginia, who went on to lose to Syracuse and Louisville. Arkansas has been ranked way too high all year, and LSU exposed them for what they were. LSU’s remaining schedule looks strangely like Georgia’s.”
This has to be one of the funniest posts of the season!
Well who has Georgia beat that’s noteworthy? Yes it’s noone as in zero. LSU has beaten 4 teams in the current AP top 25 while the Dawgs have beaten no one. In fact Georgia has lost to 2 teams in the current polls, Boise State and South Carolina.
The only way Georgia beats LSU is if the Tigers play their worst game of the season while the Dawgs play its best game.
This is not to slight Georgia at all as they have had a solid season.
There is a reason Vegas has LSU by 12.5.

Yeah…it’s all about perception. LSU is ranked #1 and UGA #14. If you put UGA on a neutral field with half of the teams in front of them, they would beat them easily. Kansas St? Houston? Arkansas? Va Tech? etc. Most people are suckers and give UGA no chance…that is why the line is such, but while LSU is better…this is far from a gimme. Some of the Tiger fans crack me up…make it sound like they are playing Kentucky or Tenn…get real.

@blackout: i don’t think LSU can “toy” with us. a homer’s opinion, but i truly believe we’re gonna give the tigers all they want in atlanta. i like their overall depth and athleticism over ours for sure, but i think we present certain schematic and personnel challenges that they haven’t faced this year, especially on the offensive side of the ball. it’s a great challenge for our team, and whatever happens they’re gonna get our best shot. looking forward to a great one in tuscaloosa next year, and plenty of friendly banter until then. congrats on great win in iron bowl.

By rule….you cannot have 3 teams from a conference go to a bcs bowl. It seems as though they are already penciling in Alabama to play in the championship game. If Ga pulls off the upset…what then? Ga gets an automatic bid into the bcs by rule. What if that happens and Va Tech loses to Clemson and Ok St loses to Ok? Could Ga go to the bcs championship game? A 2 loss sec champ should get the nod over any other 2 loss conf champ becuase the sec is clearly the best. Where am I wrong here? This could very well be the biggest Ga football game since Penn St in 1982.

If i was LSU and ranked No.#1 i would be fully confident that they could destroy a 12th Ranked Georgia team. LSU clearly had no competition until they got outplayed by Alabama and the tiger fans know that.
Takes alot of luck to go undefeated and LSU has just simply found ways to win.
Its part of football.
By all standards LSU should beat Georgia soundly but they need help to win. I think the only way LSU can win is by turnovers and bias officiating. What a mess it would be if Georgia beat the No.#1 team.
Look for some flagrant calls against Georgia next saturday. Watch and learn what happens when big dollars are involved in outcomes.
Sure LSU can win but so can Georgia. They are both very similar but Georgia has a better QB and RB if he plays and more weapons to throw to than LSU.
I give the edge to the front 4 of LSU in Defense but our front 4 are no slouches either. Our flaw is Special Teams and Kicking which might be the difference in the game. It hurt Alabama didnt it?
Dont go buy those BCS Tickets yet Tiger Fans because it might be hard trying to find someone to take them at discounted rates.
Yeah it might be a blow out but i doubt it. Im sure Georgia wont stomp all over that Tigers tail by 21 pts either. But its doable for Georgia to come out and suprise any team. LSU thinks about it with Georgia but like all those naysayers out there, Georgia’s first 2 games throws doubt in having any chance.
I’ll tell you this………….. i hope LSU overlooks Georgia and is setting their sights on a BCS Championship Game with most likely Oklahoma State.
I think like the fans here that say how bad Georgia did and their weak opponents they played, that LSU will walk all over Georgia.
I want them to take everything lightly and not worry. I can imagine that all the football players fans, friends and relatives are telling them that it wont even be close, it’ll be easy and quick.
By the time they get to Atlanta, LSU will be so consumed by who their opponent will be in the BCS that they will forget about who their playing.
Hey we have no excuse for being 10-2. We’re not saying that Georgia is the best team but what we’re telling you is that you can throw all that BS

Murray won’t get the time he had in the Auburn or Georgia Tech game to find an open receiver by staying in the pocket . He needs to roll out of the pocket if it won’t contain LSU’s blitz. He will be throwing a lot more passes in the stand’s and running the ball but what can’t happen is Murray getting frustrated or try to force his passes before they materialize into an open receiver. If he does we will have a replay of the South Carolina game where we beat ourselves before the other team even has a chance to beat us themselves. Murray has got to realize that against a great team like LSU you won’t have many chances to make big play’s but when that time comes we need to take advantage of it. Our defense need’s to put pressure on Jefferson to keep him from running 20 times . 5 to 10 yard’s every time he runs.
Believe it or not Georgia matches better against LSU than Alabama or Arkansas. If we have the stamina , strength, depth and confidence to play 60 minutes we can most definitely beat LSU. They have always had a mental block when they play us and I hope the first time somebody runs over one of our player’s the whole team won’t give up. LSU will play hard for 60 minutes and every Dawg need’s to be ready with the same commitment.
Every player for Georgia need’s to realize that a win mean’s a BCS bowl game and with 2 losses that would be amazing but equally important it will guarantee a top 7 pre- season ranking for next year.

Nebraska in the OUTBACK Bowl no matter what we do
November 28th, 2011
5:53 am
Nebraska lost to UNRANKED 6-6 Northwestern.
UGA plays Nebraska in our bowl game.
We have lost to Nebraska in our only game against them.
Nebraska is ranked # 20 in AP Poll. Nebraska will not be knocked out of the final AP Poll Top 25 by us beating them – it would be close but they might hold on to a ranking – like # 25 or # 24 maybe.
Ohio State is UNRANKED at 6-6. Notre Dame is UNRANKED.
We are the # 5 team in The SEC. Beat LSU, and we are still # 5 team in The SEC in every single solitary poll. Lose to LSU and we are still the # 5 team in The SEC. There are 5 teams in The SEC. There is no # 6 SEC team.
2007, LSU beat two (2) teams who finished in the AP Poll Top 10. Mark Richt beat NONE. Mark Richt LOST to 2 really sorry football teams, including especially 6-6 South Carolina who did not even play in a bowl game. And, Mark Richt was hosed by a rule that doesn’t exist – that a team cannot play for the BCS NC when they didn’t even win their division ? NOT HARDLY. LSU was FAR SUPERIOR to Mark Richt, not only in 2007, not only again this 2011 season, but for all 11 years of the Mark Richt era with LSU’s NINE (9) wins in the Mark Richt era vs teams who finished in the AP Poll Top 10 – including 3 already this season and are a 2 point pick to beat Alabama. That would be 4 wins vs teams who finish in the AP Poll Top 10 by LSU this season, ALONE – and THAT is MORE WINS THAN MARK RICHT HAS HIS ENTIRE 11 YEARS HERE over teams who finish in the AP Poll Top 10.
We are not going to the Cotton Bowl.
We are going to the Outback Bowl.
Nothing that happens Saturday alters that one iota.
Oklahoma State does NOT deserve to play in the BCS NC game. They cannot. It cannot happen. It will not happen. It does not happen.
This is great for The SEC that Alabama is consensus # 2 in the nation. Well, they deserve it. Not only will Alabama play in the BCS NC game this season, but I felt that they were the better team when the 2 teams played earlier this season. Alabama beat a team who is ending the season in the AP Poll top 10 Arkansas currently # 6 in the AP Poll, and Alabama beat # 21 in the BCS Rankings today Penn State. Alabama’s only LOSS is in overtime when their kicker missed four (4) field goals in the game, losing by 3 to the Consensus # 1. Compare this again to UGA in 2007 with Mark Richt whining in the press that he was hosed in 2007 with his TWO (2) losses including to 6-6 South Carolina not even in a bowl game and sorry vols team he lost to while Mark Richt beat NO TEAM who finished the season in the AP Poll top 10, as Alabama has done this season. Alabama deserves and whether you whine about it more this week or not, Alabama plays LSU on the national stage while we are not 1 of the Top 4 teams in The SEC AGAIN THIS SEASON, WHEN THERE ARE ONLY 4 SEC TEAMS. We are going to go DOWN in the rankings further. We dropped to # 14 this week from # 13 in the BCS Rankings playing a team we should no longer schedule. We beat them and dropped in the BCS Rankings. This is also not a hose job on Mark Richt. Mark Richt simply has NOT DONE what he SHOULD HAVE DONE at UGA. He LOST to every ranked team he played this season, and rattled off 10 victories in a row, NOT 1 OF WHICH IS RANKED IN ANY POLL WHATSOEVER TODAY.
ALABAMA PLAYS LSU as it should be.
SEC BCS Championship # 6 in a ROW, while Mark Richt isn’t even 1 of the top 4 SEC teams this season. 4th best coach in the country my oh my.
If we play in the Cotton Bowl, it would be against Kansas State. Cotton Bowl is stuck that The SEC East South Carolina or SEC East Georgia would play in that game. South Carolina is ranked higher than us in the Coaches’ Poll. South Carolina is ranked higher than us in the BCS Rankings. We are ranked higher than South Carolina in the AP Poll, but after we lose to LSU – having BEAT NO TEAM RANKED IN ANY POLL TODAY and having LOST to South Carolina head-to-head – we will NOT get the nod for the Cotton Bowl, but South Carolina.

As I was reading these comments and this story, I actually thought this was part of some elaborate joke. There are actually people out there who think that GA will win this weekend? Okay, I know, I know… everyone wants to believe that the underdawg has a shot. Based on your comments, it is clear that the only football games you folks have watched all season have been Georgie games. So, for those uneducated Dawg fans out there (all of you), let’s look at some facts…
BSU rocked you at home, you had all year to prepare for it so “getting surprised” just doesn’t cut it. SCAR, although full strength at the time, ran up the score on you. You scored quite a bit as well, but let’s face it, Carolina’s defense is not as good as you think your defense is. You have since then played SEC nobodys, and even still… Ole Miss gave you a scare in the first half, another two minutes and Vandy beats you, a couple of correctly called pass interferences and FL beats you, and playing like you did in the first half of the game and KY beats you. The only team you beat decisively was a clueless Auburn, but only because you were trying to make a statement to last year’s AU team. News flash, the players you are mad at are now in the NFL. And I haven’t even begun to talk about the strengths of the Tigers. Compared to them, you have no class, no game, no talent, and no chance.
This coming weekend, the Bulldogs will be exposed for the yappy little puppies that you really are, the way the rest of the nation sees you, and you will feel the effects of your weak schedule for the full 60 minutes. Enjoy the punishment.
Maybe next year… Lol, what am I saying???

I will be the first to admit that UGA has had a good season with 10 wins in a row. Richt and staff are to be commended for refocusing the team after an 0-2 start. But, having said that, let’s not get too big-headed and carried away. UGA has not beaten a currently ranked team. They have faced the level of competition faced by LSU. While LSU was beating teams like Oregon, UGA was beating Coastal Carolina. Maybe UGA will win, who knows? That’s why they play the game. All I’m saying is that LSU’s “body of work” far surpasses what UGA has done this season.

I’m not sold on the subpar competition from the last 10 games. Georgia played no one and Aaron Murray feisting on substandard competition is not enough to get me excited. Special teams are not equal here also – they have a decided advantage and worst we won’t sneak up on them – If Murray is pressured he will make mistakes – I see something like LSU 24 Dawgs 17.

How Can You Be a National Champion Game, if you don’t win or even play in you’re Conference Championship? That is the predecent that kept UGA out in 2007 an dother teams out in other years.
Why is Alabama exempt from this?
They are not any better than any other one-loss team.
They certainly are not a great team. Alabama’s offense is ONE-dimensional: Trent Richardson.
AND Didn’t LSU already beat them once?
We know LSU can beat Alabama (They Did it Already).
Can they stop an offense with an actual QB and WRs and TEs? Who Knows?
Can LSU Stop Houston from gaining 600 yards. Who Knows?
Or Stanford? Maybe/ maybe not.
Oregon and Va Tech – Probably?
But one thing we do know for 100% Certainly- LSU already beat Alabama.
If fact, who says Alabama even beat Stanford, Oregon, Va Tech, or Boise St? I feel quite certain that Alabama can NOT score even points to keep up with Houston.
My point Alabama is had a chance. They lost. They are not any better than any other one-loss team.

I hope Georgia wins. The national press are making the SEC Championship a non event and the question at this point is who will play LSU, in the NC. Wouldn’t an upset work well in this story. Everybody looks at Georgia’s weak schedule and sees marginal improvement from the teams that lost two in the first of the season. Now Tech is part of that weak schedule. In a way, heartburn, the Dawgs are playing for us. In the meanwhile the local press has got to play Georgia up to fill that venue here in Atlanta. If you listen to the national press there is no reason to show up. I don’t have a clue but wouldn’t it be nice to see the Dawgs win.

Alabama is consensus # 2 in the nation – the better team when the 2 teams played earlier this season. Alabama beat a team who is Arkansas currently # 6 in the AP Poll, and Alabama beat # 21 in the BCS Rankings today Penn State. Alabama’s only LOSS is in overtime when their kicker missed four (4) field goals in the game, losing by 3 to the Consensus # 1.
Compare UGA in 2007 TWO (2) losses including to 6-6 South Carolina not even in a bowl game and sorry vols team he lost to while Mark Richt beat NO TEAM who finished the season in the AP Poll top 10.
LOST to every ranked team he played this season, and rattled off 10 victories in a row, NOT 1 OF WHICH IS RANKED IN ANY POLL WHATSOEVER TODAY.
ALABAMA PLAYS LSU as it should be.
NEBRASKA is like Georgia tek, only with a WORSE DEFENSE and WORSE SPECIAL TEAMS. This is who we deserve for a bowl opponent, and team that after we beat them, has as much chance to not be ranked as they do to be ranked.

Forget our two looses. Im talking right now…Football today.. Uga is playing as good as anyone in the top 5. I mean really..how gud is AL or LSU? Casue they both beat Ark and LSU beat Oregon? Well how good were those teams? IMHO Its hard to say who is better right now. LSU is more consistant, I’ll give them that. UGA has the tendancy to play sloppy at times. BUT with both teams firing on all 8 cylinders I like UGA’s chances. Its a crap shoot..who knows..we may blow them out or they may blow us out or it could be a tight game than ends in OT..I guess we will see.

This is Georgia’s National Championship game. This is an opportunity. Georgia is playing with “House Money”. LSU has beaten some of the finest teams in the Country on a roll to being 12-0. I am a Georgia fan and want to see the Dawgs win as much as anyone. I give them a fair chance, but they must develop balance on offense, play disciplined defense, and play “COFFIN CORNER” on punts.
This a chance to play against the best and find out what this team is really made of and what it can be going forward. The Dawgs should be able to play loose and fast. This is gravy for an already solid season. It’s Georgia’s National Championship game! Enjoy the moment!

The perception is that UGA doesn’t have a chance agains’t a great and well coached and talented LSU team.Perception can be a misleading thing.Ask Paul Johnson.The ACC this weekend lost all the match-ups against the SEC except FSU-Fla..In that game both teams played to ACC standards.Paul Johnson might now have the perception that he has lost 3 tmes out of 4 chances to UGA and will have many more to come till he is fired.Perhaps he can than seek a postion as a greeter at Wal-Mart.On paper LSU should win but it will not be played on paper and this young Dawg team has gotten better every game and believes it can win.Go Dawgs!

Hey, Schultz, how much would you be willing to bet that UGA will beat LSU? Note to McGarity: Before getting too carried away and offering Richt a ten year extension by beating a schedule of nobodies and backing into the SECCG, you had best wait until after the LSU game and the bowl game. You don’t want to end up like the UT athletic director who gave Fat Phil a big contract extension and then got canned for being syupid. A two year extension is OK but no more. That is time enough to prove if Richt has come back from the dead.

LSU game plan will be simple to stop us. Us running doesn’t scare them, but our passing does, some. I look for a blitz on just about every play with their manning our Wr’s, thus rattling Murray and hurrying his throws. Our D will keep it respectable.

Given the entirelty of the circumstances of the past year/season, Ohio State stayed unified. We Buckeyes are proud and loyal to a fault. Fickell did a admirable job given the hand he was dealt. Hell, it was ALMOST as bad what Obama inherited, right libs?
LSU will lay a whuppin’ on the dogs next Saturday. LSU would lay a whuppin’ on the bittom 1/3rd of the NFL. VERY impressive against Arkansas

I think it’s going to be a physical game and come down to conditioning. With UGA’s team being a bit dinged up in certain positions, I think the edge goes to LSU. Pass protection for both teams will be key; I really see this game as being won in the trenches. As a Dawg fan, would LOVE to see the upset Saturday! But keep your money in your wallets folks…the odds are against us…and I fear that Georgia’s linemen just are focused and strong enough, despite their size (also note: despite the running back situation, the O-line hasn’t been opening holes the past couple of games like they did mid season…that tells me their legs are tired) Geez, I hope I’m wrong!

This is coming from a die-hard Tech fan – I wish Tech had given uga(sic) a better game. I don’t think it was even a good practice session for the dawgs(sic). Remember, Tech is only a middle of the road ACC team, unlike LSU who is cream of the SEC. Les Miles is a better coach than Paul Johnson. He won’t set his players up for failure like Johnson did. I’d rank Georgia’s chances against LSU right up there with Arkansas’s chances. Arkansas has a pretty good quarterback, too.
But you never know, maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m wrong.

If we play a perfect game we have a chance. If we give up an early special teams or pick 6 type score, it might get out of control. What I don’t get is that ESPN is saying that it is already a lock between LSU and Alabama for the BCS. If LSU wins, I have no problem with that. I personally would rather see a rematch of LSU and Oregon, but that is just my preference because I think it would be a more offensive minded game. But if UGA shocks the world, I don’t see how it can be a rematch. I still think that LSU would still be in it, but that should effect Alabama because it would lessen the value of losing in OT to an undefeated team. If the BCS was truly about matching the best 2 teams and UGA beats LSU, and everybody believes that LSU would give the Packers a game, then they should get some consideration. Of course the cart is getting quite a bit in front of the horse. But I am going to be there cheering on the Dawgs!
