What do you guys think are the keys to winning in Athens?.....and what is your prediction for the score?

Same as any other game. Who wins the line battles. Who wins the turnover battles. Who gets the big plays. I think we win by 7. Somewhere between 24-17 and 31-24.

We will need to have some success on the ground, at least 100 yds rushing to keep the d honest. Funny how now I have more confidence in Ainge than any other aspect of our team.

I think that more than ever we need a balanced offense. Today we ran a LOT of playaction. To be able to do that and keep the linebackers in for a second our passing game will help us to win the game. I am guessing a real close game. Us by 1-3 pts.

I think we win as long as Ainge can make good decisions and we have a decent day on the ground, UGA has a really good run defense though, I'd say it'll be close and whoever wins will win by less than 5 points

We have to be able to run the ball. Today we got a lot of good looks off of play action. The Vols were able to keep the Memphis D off balance the whole day.

One thing I really liked with Coker in there was the way we ran some draws and sweeps to get him into space where he can use his speed.

Yep, you can do that with speed. Plus Coker is a good cutter, he can stop on a dime and switch it up.

Last week I said I'd like to see Coker run some sweeps. Cutcliffe must be keeping up with my posts. :yes:

I'll have a better idea after I watch the Ole Miss game tonight. The Bulldogs will be just as tough as UF on defense and they can run the ball.

That's what I'm waiting to see as well. UGA ought to beat the daylights out of Ole Miss physically, but I want to see how those freshmen QBs look.

They couldn't run the ball last week against a Colorado team that is 0-5.

Interesting that our win against Air Force and Memphis can't be used as positives toward the UGA game, but you want to ignore UGA's production (or lack thereof) against Colorado.

UGA may have trouble tonight. They overlooked a lesser opponent last week that had a good scrambling QB and he hurt them bad. It could happen again, though I doubt it.

If Tennessee has a good running game, and the defensive line and o-line is good I say we win by 14.

If we are solid on both lines, Ainge doesn't implode, and we don't kill ourselves with special teams, we should be comfortable.

What positives from the Air Force game do you think apply to us playing Georgia?

We didn't "find a way to win". We were winning pretty much most of the game. We failed to find a way to put the game out of reach. Air Force couldn't find a way to win.

So you can't put Mitchell's 2 point conversion stop in that category?

Please. That play call was embarrassing. Xavier could have whiffed on the tackle and about 5 other Vols would have just nailed him anyway. Air Force couldn't find a way to win. Had they continued to run the option, which was getting them about 6-7 yards per attempt, they likely would have gotten into the end zone.

Exactly what OWB said, someone had to find a way to win. We found a way, though it wasn't hard to find. Just stop a pitch.
