The best way to beat Georgia on Saturday

[bpalmer28]

How many of y'all remember the game Alabama's defense had against LSU in the national championship back in 2012?

LSU was 13-0 and were coming off back-to-back blowout wins against #3 Arkansas 41-17 and #16 Georgia 42-10 in the SEC Championship. Then they play Alabama in a rematch for the national championship, and this happens:



LSU's offense did not cross the 50-yard line the entire game. Alabama scored 1 touchdown and kicked 5 FGs on their way to 21-0 shutout victory. DEFENSE, BABY. This is how we beat Georgia.

Ha! It was meant to inspire fans to believe that a great defense can carry a team to victory against a great opponent in big games.

Alabama's DC was some guy named Kirby Smart that year also.

I think the formula is really simple.

1. Stop UGA's run game
2. Make Beck Beat you throwing the ball and give the D a chance to put pressure on him
3. Sampson and the O control the clock, shorten the game, and score 2-3 TDs and 2-3 Fgs

I think if the Vols can score more than 24-27 points, they can win.

To stay in the playoff hunt I don't even know if we need a win, we just can't get blown out of the stadium.

Yeah, I know, and we still don't give a dayum about the whole state of Alabama.

The best way to beat Georgia is to outscore them.

I’m thinking we can hold them to single digits and win 13-9 or 9-6. Something UGLY.

 

[HooahVol]

The O/U is 48. I am not a gambler but I feel like taking the under is easy money. Neither of the offenses are going to put up more than 24 against those defenses.

 

[saxvol]

Hyper aggression from our Dline the whole game. I want Lurch whizzing in his pants.

 

[Hunerwadel]

No turnovers. RBs have to have 200 yards. Moore has to complete enough passes to keep them honest. Hold them to 20 points and win the time of possession. Very simple,

If Sampson can carry this team Saturday he will be in the Heisman conversation.

 

[theFallGuy]

Must punch them in the mouth on offense early and score. No fumbles by Sampson. We do that, we silence the crowd and start putting doubt in the minds of the team and fans. We cannot wait until 2nd half to get our crap together

As much as would love to see that, and as much as I love our defense, they haven't held any SEC team to less than 14 points this season. I don't expect them to now.

And I thought you were going to say score more points!

If only there were any games from 98 we could reference.

Score more points. Always seems to work fine.

I was 12. Perhaps some of you blue hairs can educate us.

I think some of y'all have forgotten how sensitive I am. Stop being mean it hurts my feelings.

I agree on D, and no doubt we have to run the ball. But we also have to take shots down the field. Their secondary is vulnerable, if we get any kind of passing game going the running game will benefit. Especially in the 3rd and 4th quarters. GBO

The defensive gamplan for both teams is going to be similar: if you can stop the run without adding folks to the box, then the opposing offense is going to be in trouble fast. Neither team is great at throwing in to 7-8 defensive backs.

The big difference maker is that we have one of the top RBs in the country, while their best RB is questionable. They have the second worst rushing offense in the conference. We can absolutely drop a bunch of guys and force Beck to make tight window throws to WRs that have struggled to catch passes.

Our offense uses a lot of zone and counter blocking schemes to get extra guys blocking. WE WILL NEED TO WIN 1:1s ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE, as UGA definitely has guy who can cover multiple gaps on a run play. We need to get them to bite on adding an extra guy to stop Sampson from getting steam.

I was 20 and drunk a lot. Maybe YouTube could help. You’ll have to show this blue hair how it works.

This. I will add, don't be conservative and call plays scared as we have done before on the road.
