Anyone else think...

I don't think UGA is very good on offense because of attrition, but I do think they'll be athletic as hell.

They are. Talent isn't an issue.

You give Peterson 8 months to plan against UGA, and I think he can pick them apart. Plus, Georgia lost Justin Houston, their best blitzer. So can Georgia pressure Moore? And will it even matter?

Peterson's genius is being massively overplayed. He's no more of an offensive guru than Richt.

Georgia should be able to get to the point of pinning back its ears and coming after him. I don't think Boise has a prayer of running the ball.

I didn't say it's fixed. I said it's likely getting better.

I don't buy the run game piece against a team like Boise. Will they run it on AL, no. Will they smash it on Boise, yes.

Freshman playing his first game, a couple new pieces on the o-line. I think that's still a question mark.

They ran for 168 last year on Va. Tech. I don't know if they'll run for that much, but they can the ball.

Also, this is the same Georgia team, that, when last played, put 6 points and 280 yards against CENTRAL FREAKIN FLORIDA. And then lost their best offensive player. They ran for 82 yeards. Now they'll run for 200 yards on Boise? I don't buy it.

I still don't think it's fixed.

They lost their best player. Have no run game to speak of. I won't be "shocked" if UGA wins, but i'll be surprised.

The problem is that their best player didn't really mean much in the way of wins and losses last year because he didn't play defense. This game is all about how much UGA has progressed in their second year of running the 3-4. I'm in the minority here, but I really think UGA has the potential to lower the boom on Boise.

The thing that concerns me about LSU is that I'm not sure how Chavis will do against this style offense.

I'm not sure what to expect from Georgia this year. I think they could win 10+ or lose 5.

Giving Chris Peterson that much time to gameplan spells trouble for Georgia IMO.

As far as LSU is concerned, I think they will play well defensively but have little faith they will score enough.

Oregon's offense will again be at the top, they return a ton of talent.

I agree with you but this early in the year the defenses will likely decide the game. I think LSU will pull this one out but who the heck knows with Miles coaching.

I can't get a read on this game either. Every time I convince myself that LSU is bigger, faster, and stronger on defense, I remember who their DC is.

For all the good defenses he had at UT, Chavis's schemes didn't exactly slow down the spread (Florida) or option (Air Force) attacks that he faced.

 

[house divided]

I think LSU's only advantage is gonna be home field for this game. But I think they're gonna need more than that. I just wonder how far the loser will drop in the polls if much at all.

I know he got run off the field in 2007. But he usually did pretty good against Meyer IMO.

I also think UGA has the potential to beat the brakes off Boise. My only hesitation is that Petersen is a flat-out better coach than Richt, but I don't think the difference will be enough to counteract the massive advantage in athleticism UGA has.

 

[005]

I will say this... Not saying it will produce the same result, but LSU's defense is considerably better than the Auburn defense that shut Oregon down last year.

 

[milohimself]

Nick Fairley was better than any one player LSU's D has right now, but LSU's D is all-around a tad bit more athletic and a tad bit deeper than Auburn's D last year.

Something interesting to think about: removing the '10 New Mexico joke from the equation, Chip Kelly is 0-3 when opponents have more than two weeks to prepare. In those three games, Oregon has averaged 14.7 PPG.

That LSU and Georgia will get ran out of the building?

I think they both take a pounding.

If LSU can run the ball right at Oregon consistently and keep the ball for long, time consuming TD drives. Then I think LSU can win, not necessarily will win. Chavis has NEVER shut down this kind of offense. NEVER. Even when he had defenses loaded with NFL talent he didn't. I think Oregon wins 31-23. I have no idea what UGA will do. It would not suprise me if they get blown out, but then again it wouldn't shock me for them to blow Boise out either. Normally I would be pulling for them to win the non conf games, but I really hope they suck in this game. If UGA does not have it together, it means we have a lot better shot at beating them than if they roll over Boise.
