Trotter is a permanent clipboard holder now. Mosely is not great but he is better and they have some receivers back from injury.
I had said 28-20 but now i’m thinking more points.

I respect Lex’s thoughts on the game. Tampa, you know Trotter doesn’t start for AU. We had so many kids that shouldn’t be out there at the wide out position that they didn’t fully grasp it..tons of dropped passes..we get 2 guys back that will help tremendously.

UGA is not as bad as Penn State but they are gaining on them in ethics. Yea start Isiah, you know he let the team down by failing a drug test,
—————————-
WOW!!!! How do you breathe without someone telling you how to? You are really comparing some kids hitting some pot to 8 kids getting sodomized and the cover up that went with it for years? You classless piece of garbage! Go back and get your moral compass fixed dude. The only victims in the smoking of pot are the idiot RBs that did it. Same can’t be said for the Penn State fiasco you dirt bag.

I don’t see Auburn scoring that many unless Murray has a bad day. If I were betting, I’d say this is the one circled on his calendar. Auburn has big questions at QB. No effective passing threat. They have a decent running attack. Dyer and McCaleb are both good. How much AU scores is contingent on how good of a day those guys have and how good we are at containing it.
The AU defense is porous. The line is talented but, the secondary very suspect. Murry should pick them to pieces

I know DC, but the trend is continuing and they ran nearly the entire QB depth chart out against UF and it was a mess. I don’t think this is a trend by any stretch that will carry through much of next year, but right now, I would think it’s cause for concern. And yes, the wideouts haven’t helped much, but the gap there is fixable.

Dave Cutler -
Here’s some football for you. The coaches and voters know a LOT more about football logic than you do. UGA’s stats vs. Auburn’s stats support their votes. That’s why UGA is ranked higher than Auburn and favored against them tomorrow. It will be a good, close game, as it should be. UGA has the edge and advantage. Whoever limits mistakes will win.
Now, will you be nice? Making fun of people isn’t quite on topic either, is it? So stop.

I actually enjoy going over to the tech blog and talking football. GT Joe cause them as much angst as he does us.

The Auburn defense has improved but I think this UGA team is special and now they are clicking on all cylinders.
UGA 35
AU 21
Please note I have predicted last second wins against Vandy and hard fought wins against Ole MIss, MSU and UF and UT. I also predicted losses against BSU and USCe. I have predicted everything correct this year and was very close on the score each week. I also predicted at seasons start that Jarvis Jones would be SEC Defensive Player of the Year.

I think murray will have a good game as well..dont know if that will amount to a victory though…the stat you need to look at is the running game. Usually whatever team has most rushing yards has won..

Personally, watching that game last night, the GT OL was punked. Tevin isn’t the best and he has no feet but, VT was all over him like a duck on a junebug in the 2nd half

I have to give a decided edge to UGA just based on the QB and passing game. We’ll run it enough to keep them honest and I believe the Georgia D will be stellar (been a while since I could say that)

If Kent Taurene could become academically eligible, imagine what that linebacking core would have looked like. And I saw that Lonnie Outlaw is no longer coming to UGA.

Auburn cant pass the ball! Auburn cant pass the ball! Theres the only reason you need as to why Georgia will beat Auburn Dave. You have a very vulnerable secondary and Murray is gonna pick you apart. Clint Mosely is a chump with a big mouth. He had his best game against Ole Miss and you think he’s something special. C’MON. Auburn hasnt faced a defense like Georgia all year. Its gonna be ugly! There’s youre reasons moron. Speed, speed speed son, and skill,skill,skill.

LSU has an awesome defense, no doubt, and everyone knows that. They have proven that from the get go. They are not sneaking up on anybody. Georgia still has alot to prove, since everyone says we havnt played anyone. But after saturday night, you will know what I mean. Georgia will win with defense and finally get the respect that they deserve.

Dave Cutler, sir,
We will beat you because our Quarterback Aaron Murray is BETTER than your group of quarterbacks in this game. We have poor special teams, but our special teams, as poorly as they play, are significantly better than your special teams. Our Defense is stout vs the run. And, all Auburn can do is to run. You have no Passing game, at all. None. Our Defense is so far superior to what you have you call a “defense.”
Auburn
_______
# 108 Passing Offense
# 089 Total Offense
# 084 Rushing Defense we run well behind our big OL
# 075 Total Defense
# 096 Punt Returns
# 081 Sacks of your “quarterbacks” not prime time
# 062 Sacks of opposing Quarterbacks
You have already Lost 3 games, more than we have, and despite you beating South Carolina, our Quarterback gave them 28 points – and hasn’t done that since (well not to that extent anyway, thankfully.) You are going to lose 2 more games before the bowl game. That will give you 5 LOSSES before your bowl game.
Easy opponents ?
Auburn has :
SAMFORD
UTAH STATE
MISSY STATE
CLIMPSON FARMERS EVEN GA tek BEAT
FLORIDA ATLANTIC
FLORIDA
OLE MISS
8-your CRUDDY bowl opponent in the Nashville game
Auburn is notorious for your cupcake schedules, this year no different.

I do find it a bit amusing when those such as Dave Cutler make such an asinine post then, make a follow up and declare they wanted to discuss football. Youth is definitely wasted on the young.
For the record, I have no problem with fans of other teams feeling or believing their team is going to win. I often have the same opinion of my team. But, for crying out loud is it to much to ask for a rational and reasoned explanation as to why they feel that way? I mean, because AU beat SC and played FL tight means they will beat Georgia? Thats play ground logic. Look at the ACC coastal as a prime example. Clemson embarrassed VT, GT beeyotch slapped Clemson, VT broke it off in GT’s aster*. There is some logical reasons why they have ended up as they have.

Georgia’s defense isn’t up to snuff as LSU’s but, it won’t take it to beat Auburn. Unless Auburn pulls a QB and passing attack out of their anus, Georgia should have a rel;atively simple solution to keeping that offense in check. Bring the linebackers up and make them beat us in the air. All indications are they cannot.
I think you are right however, this should be a game the Georgia defense shines. Auburn has a really good running game. Gerogia is really good against the run. Too much has been said about UGA’s weaker opponents for a defensive comparison. Yet, nobody is speaking the same way about Alabama’s, their schedule has been just as weak and yet their defense is undeniably very strong

Hey atlanta
Want to give us some proof that UGA did anything other than follow University Policy in regards to the drug testing?
Tests given on Wednesday. Results back on Friday from dipstick test. Those results can not be used as official. Samples sent to lab. Results back on Tuesday. Suspensions announced.
Those are the facts. To do anything else would have set up McGarity and Richt for lawsuits and would have put their own jobs at risk for not following written University Policy.
Now, let me read your version.
We are waiting.

I didn’t say Richt did anything wrong concerning the Pot smokers. I said it was a surprise that they just happened to miss the easiest game on your schedule. That’s all. No proof needed there to agree with that. Am I right?
