I’m reviewing the Georgia Auburn tape right now and through the first quarter Georgia is jamming the receivers coming off the line on every play. Auburn doesn’t have an offensive line that can slow the Georgia pass rush. My initial thought is swing passes or short throws and probably jet sweeps are not going to be uncontested. Georgia keeps the line of scrimmage crowded sideline to sideline. We’re going to have to stretch the field. To me that suggest Velus Jones and/or Jalin Hyatt need to be on the field for every snap. We need their speed. Of course they’ve got to be able to beat the jams. I think our offensive line at its best can buy Guarantano enough time to allow our faster receivers to get down field. If we can’t stretch the field we may have to rely heavily on the run game and this is where getting Small a few reps in the Missouri game may pay off. I wished Tee Hodge or Len’Neth Whitehead were ready. I think we need a true power back against Georgia’s front seven. jmo.
ESPN’s FPI in the preseason I think forecasted us to win 4 games this year once we went to an all-conference schedule. They have adjusted that now to 6 wins and after this next win (against Georgia) I think it goes up again. I think as it stands now we can take Auburn and FPI still thinks we have a better shot at Florida than we do with Gus. I think that’s because Auburn is on the road and Florida is at home. No matter, we win both. After this week, we’re probably Atlanta bound and not even Alabama can stand in our way. jmo.
After we beat Georgia this week I think FPI, since it’s only data driven, will likely project us also to beat Auburn and Florida. That is definitely going to change the ESPN talking heads conversation about who is who this year in the Southeastern Conference. jmo.
