Georgia has attempted 16 FG's this year, and have made 14, by the way; more than any other team in the conf. This reminds me of the Jim Donnan days, where Georgia was a big FG team. My point is, I don't think you beat Tennessee kicking FG's. Maybe I'm drinking the orange koolaid, but this stat makes me feel really good. Go Vols

I believe Georgia will intentionally throw the game with Tennessee. They have too many players that are injured and wish to preserve their depth when they make their championship run.

It will matter little. Ohio State will likely destroy them in the first round. The DEs for OSU are going to cripple anyone in George’s backfield.

I also believe Georgia is terrified of having to play Alabama in the SEC championship.

Ugga - They should discontinued the breed.

No need to throw the game.

It don’t matter

I doubt that because they wouldn’t have a clear path to the playoffs. Let’s say we beat UGA and lose in a rematch to Bama in the SECCG- which will be the likely and most realistic matchup.

They would be tempting fate because in the event we did lose, then we’d still get the likely playoff berth along with Bama while Jawja would be left out.

yeah, I have been saying it all week. I don't think UGA can score with us the way Alabama did. I could be wrong though.

Punt stats I put together:
TEAM G P Y P/G Y/G Y/P S SP SY SP/G SY/G SY/P
Tennessee 6 12 505 2.00 84.16 42.08 3 3 114 1.00 38.0 38.0
Georgia 7 15 636 2.14 90.86 42.40 4 11 465 2.75 66.43 42.27

KEY
G = # Games
P = # Punts
Y = Total Yards
P/G = Punts per game
Y/G = Yars per game
Y/P = Yards per punt
S = # SEC Games
SP = # SEC Punts
SY = Total SEC Yards
SP/G = SEC Punts per game
SY/G = SEC Yards per game
SY/P = SEC Yards per punt

Some interesting stats regarding the punts game. I'm not sure what to make of it exactly. At first glance many of our stats seem pretty similar here, but they've played one more game than us. We have had 3 SEC games and they have had 4. Where things really stand out is when you look at the performance in SEC games. We've kicked 3 punts for 114 yards and they've kicked 11 for 465 yards.

The game breakdowns:
Tennessee 6 games, 3 SEC games
Opponent Punts Yards
Ball State 2 93
Pittsburgh 5 213
Akron 2 85
Florida 0 0
BYE 0 0
LSU 2 83
Alabama 1 31
Total: 12 505
SEC: 3 114

GEORGIA 7 games, 4 SEC games
Opponent Punts Yards
Oregon 1 53
Sanford 3 118
SCAR 2 99
Kent State 0 0
Missouri 3 123
Auburn 5 207
Vanderbilt 1 36
Total: 15 636
SEC: 11 465

Our competition in conference play so far has been much tougher. Our non conference games sort of pad out the numbers such that they are similar, but I think we can attribute Akron and Ball state to how we got playing time in for our backups. Pitt was the non-conference game where we legitimately did some punting. In fact, more than any other game in the season with 5 punts for 213 yards. That one game eats up a huge chunk of our punt totals and punt yard totals. Pitt actually gave our offense more issues with completing drives than any other team.

Damn good thing I graduated from UT w a strong 2.37 GPA. Otherwise, I might've had trouble deciphering all those dang numbers!! In fact, I probably would have punted about half way through....

Lol. You think UGA is going to intentionally lose to one of their biggest division rivals? Please explain why UGA would be scared of Bama.

UGA may be talented, but their RBs and WRs are under performing.

I agree. When you look at the field goal stats along with the punt stats I added I get the picture of an offense that is leaving a lot of points on the field. This is my first attempt to really look at them so far this season, and stats can lie of course, but that's my initial hypothesis.

UGA is talented. Very talented. That's the concern. I don't think they'll out scheme UT. I don't think they'll play harder. I don't think they'll outcoach UT. But they're still very, very talented.

I agree they are more talented, but also agree that their offense seems to be kicking a lot of field goals and punting a lot versus their conference opponents. They have one more conference game than us but they've faced much weaker teams. Haven't looked at their games yet for real so the stats may be painting a false picture.

They're supposed to have a really great defense right? With their talent being what is though, if their offense can put it all together I become much more worried because then it's a really good offense versus our improving but not quite there defense. Not sure how they compare to Alabama but it could be another shootout in the best case, and we could have a bad night if they can stop us a few times.

I suppose another thing to look at is their scoring D, turnovers in general, how they do against the pass and also rush, but I think I'm checking out for tonight.

I agree that you aren’t beating us kicking FGs. But if you look at scoring offense you will see UGA scores a lot of TDs. We have scored 37 TDs and UGA has scored 35.

Just my opinion…No way UGA putting up 49. They are more balanced and don’t need to. They are a much better version of Pitt. Their 4 deep RBs all look like nfl backs, they have all American te and a very good qb. They will look to control the clock and has better DBs than Bama so I think they will get more stops but our D will stop their run better than most and they will have to pass more than they like. I still don’t think they can keep pace but think it will be more like a 35-28 win for the good guys.

I do seem to remember recent Georgia teams being strong in the run game but are they that much better than Alabama? So far no one has been able to run against our d-line really, including bama. Not arguing at all. Really asking cause I haven’t watched them.

Going by the numbers it’s close. Bama scores 45 a game, UGA scores 41.

Passing offense nationally:

UGA- 329 ypg (10th)
Bama- 276 ypg (37th)

Rushing offense:

UGA- 196 ypg (30th)
Bama- 236 ypg (12th)

Red zone offense:

UGA- 4th
Bama- 34th

UGAs offense is pretty good.
