Bowers? Slaughter

Same. Too much house money to be nervous. This is fun.

Err'body shook. I'm listening to SEC this morning and they're talking about how UGA increased Thier pass attempts this week in preparation for having to be able to keep pace with us.

Think about that. Georgia potentially using the Florida game to get ready for us.... Now I'm not sure I believe that, butt that it was even a topic with considering.... Lol

Yeah not nervous. Excited about the opportunity that exists.

This is a good sign.

The most nervous I will be the rest of the season is South Carolina. I don’t know if I could handle seeing Shane Beamer knock us out of playoff contention.

Thankfully, they appear to be completely hapless.

I was a bit nervous about that game before the season but as the season has gone on I have become less and less worried. They're completely inept on offense. If they get down by more than a field goal against a team with a pulse they will not win. They're pathetically bad and predictable on offense. I wouldn't be shocked if we have our largest margin of victory against them

BVS is ingrained in my bones.

When Fant throws a TD to Hooker, what will you do?

I did not realize that UNC is 7-1. That is a good turn around after losing to App State.

Yeah I didn't know who would win between them and Ptt (due to the fact Pitt plays D, and UNC's defense isn't stellar). That UNC team that played Saturday could beat Clemson in their conference title game. I'm hoping Notre Dame knocks off Clemson this weekend.

Forced Pitt to “beat themselves” into pulp! That Drake Maye was not overhyped.

It's all so surreal. It's been a little less than 2 years ago I never thought we'd be here again. My fandom was shook, my confidence gone, and my excitement was dead. I was one of those that thought we'd never be championship caliber again. I thought 8 win seasons would be our peak instead the average. I just felt we had lost our way as a football program, as a fanbase, and as a university in the Southeastern Conference.

Then came Randy Boyd, Donde Plowman, and Danny White. This group is everything you want in leadership and then some. When we hired CJH I was not necessarily underwhelmed. I wasn't thrilled but I knew we'd have a solid offense. He'd done it with lesser talent. Boy, I had no idea.

I keep waiting to wake up from a dream, and the Hyatt TDs keep coming. We are not Nebraska. Thats what a dead blue blood program looks like. This is what an elite program looks like when the right guys and gals are in charge. I'll gladly enjoy my crow

Ga is not beating us. We are the best team in the country. We will beat them decisively

They didn't lose to App State - their one loss is against Notre Dame. App State did score 40 points in the 4th quarter in that game though.

They might have the best QB in the country and nobody is talking about him.

They lost to ND - not App St.

I thought they beat app state?

They beat App State (despite their best efforts to blow it). Their loss was to Notre Dame.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

They didn’t lose to App State. They gave up 40 points in the 4th quarter and won. They got smacked around by Notre Dame, just like the other overrated ACC team Syracuse.

I think we win too. I don't think it will be an easy game but I also don't think it will be as tough as the Bama game objectively speaking.

 

[Adam2014]

Whoops... I forgot that they did not lose to App State. My bad haha.

Flair has always said Steamboat was his greatest opponent in the ring. I've watched several of their matches. Never a bad one.

It’s fake man. How can a greatest opponent be determined?

Okay last one before I turn the page…

What is UC?

University Center….. it’s where they have chic fil a/ steak and shake and other things on campus now…. The old one use to have a movie theatre that you could watch earlier big games on…. Down under is where my friends and I hung out…. We usually bring down Burger King from the old UC(had several options)….. it had pool tables, bowling alley, arcade games, and big screen TVs with all the games on them…. We would hang out there till walking on over to the stadium.

Did someone sign into Bass’ account?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

That's a good point as well. UGA doesn't really kill you with their receivers as much as their TEs but our corners will still need to hold up.

So Georgia does have a ton of passing yards. But you also have to look at where it's going.

1st: Bowers 547 (TE)
2nd: McConkey 413 (WR)
3rd: Washington: 332 (TE)
4th: McIntosh: 266 (RB)
5th: Rosemy-Jacksaint: 192 (WR)

They only have 3 players with more than 15.0 yards per reception, their TEs and a RB who only has 4 receptions. So really the "secrete sauce" to contain their passing game is your 2 main CBs matchup in man/single on their main WRs and you use your LBs/Safeties to help out on the TEs. I haven't broken down a ton of their film or anything, but based on the volume and distribution with a lack of TDs in the passing game I'm assuming the majority of their attack is short yardage throws and over the middle.

2nd in SEC in completions (25.5)
2nd in SEC in attempts (37.6)
4th in completion % (67.8)
2nd in passing yards (328.1 pg)
8th in passing TDs (1.6 pg)
8th in rushing attempts (35.8)
4th in rushing yards (202.0)
3rd in rushing yards per carry (5.7)
1st in rushing TDs (3.5)


The stat that worries me the most, we're the 2nd most penalized team in the SEC 8.4 per game, Georgia is the least penalized in the SEC 4.0 per game. Put we also lead the SEC in opponent penalties at 9.0 a game, so hopefully we're able to score early and it forces Georgia to rush and take more risk than they want to which is why teams end up making mistakes against us.

I feel like our schedule has prepared us more for this game than theirs has, but they aren't inexperienced and did play a stout schedule last year.

 

[Revived2002]

Teach me your ways. I am always nervous haha.

Go back and rewatch the Georgia State beat down of Tennessee multiple times and mix in highlights of all the Tennessee losses from 2008 through 2021. We have seen rock bottom and we have survived. No matter what disaster may strike in the future, we've already experienced it and survived as a fanbase. We have nothing to fear but fear itself!
