It just depends on what Beck shows up. The Beck that makes spectacular throws that are big time NFL type of throws, or the Beck that struggles and throws it to the other team?Tennessee basketball was a 2.5 point underdog to Louisville yesterday. Vegas just wants bets to be even. They know the public looks at UGA as the same juggernaut there were a couple years ago. They are not. Carson Beck is a walking turnover and their defense isn't remotely as good as it has been. It will be a tough game, and we may not win, but it's not essentially hopeless like it has been in the past couple trips there.
Just have to get QB rolling a lot and utilize tight ends and running backs in the passing game. If not, it'll be a long night offensively.The oddsmakers generally know things the general public do not. The Nico injury comes to mind. But I can see this line considering how we play on the road and with the noise. Our last trip to Athens really baffled our offense and with a freshman or backup QB I do not see anything different.
Another thing that bothers me is that Kentucky and Miss State both exposed our defense and Smart will take advantage of that. Our play calling seems to be stagnating at this time of the season too. If I were UGA I would come out in a 3-3-5 defense since we have little success against that.
Depends on which GA shows up - the one that beat Texas or the one that lost to Ole Miss. As others have pointed out, Kirby tends to win big on games he preps for (with the exception of Bama).
LFGBO!!!
Whatever. Playing between the hedges is overrated. Not that loud and definitely not intimidating. It’s nothing like playing in Neyland. Vols will be just fine in Athens!The noise level at Athens will also be a factor. We need to control our senseless penalties and play smart football. This game, I believe, is winnable but we need our A game.

When our defense puts pressure on Beck, he will be a turnover machine. If he isn't, we might have a tough time.Given the way the D regularly rises to the occasion in big games, Carson Beck isn’t magically going to be a better decision maker next week. I don’t care that they’re coming off a loss. Kirby Smart ain’t out there playing.
