Dont know about you guys but I am giddy this week and am having a hard time doing anything. Work has got me in Atlanta this week training so I have to find some time to sit back and reflect on this weekends game. As usuall I think it will be a great game and can't wait to see how our team handles a good defense. Lets get it on and have a good injury free game.

I think UT needs to spread the field to keep those guys out of the box and allow Riggs some room.

I forgot who won that game. JK I know it was Riggs coming out party.

Well, we didn't lose for lack of running, that's for sure. I added more to my post above but I'll say it again. Riggs did pretty well running and catching out the shotgun against LSU. He didn't do it much, but still. Just talking about speed, I would say that LSU and UGA are pretty equal.

No doubt they are close in speed but I think our LB's are a little faster (come on its my team). Also I think Blue hits harder than anyone else in the SEC. He scares me sometimes. Plus you know I have to give you something to talk about OWB.

As far as defensive performance goes, UGA beats LSU to death. That's what worries me. I think this is going to be a very defensive game, but only if we can contain Shock and stop the 20 RB's you all have. I just don't see Clausen giving UGA any trouble.

I'm not really sure how to compare the two teams really. Looking at the schedule already, UT has the advantage in experience. The question is, have they learned anything?
You all looked great against Boise State, very dominant performance. Then you struggled with USC, turned around and destroyed La. Monroe and then didn't blow out Miss State and only one of those was a road game.
We on the other hand, played a tough UAB team (or so we would like to think), played UF at the swamp and lost then went to LSU to win and beat Ole miss kind of like you all beat Miss State.
So as far as playing quality teams, we have the edge even though we didn't look great in any of those games.
I'm not really sure why I just typed all that other than to ask you how Shock handled the crowd at Miss State??
UGA has the number one offense in the SEC right now, but they have not played a team with a defense. The best out of the 4 was South Carolina. I'm curious to see what they get done against our defense.

I have been thinking about the matchups in this game. I really think our defense can stop their run. This game may very well come down to the QB play on both sides. Thoughts?

The D has had experience at playing against mobile QB's this year. Leak was probably the least mobile of them all, if that gives you any idea of what they've faced. Shockley though is probably the quickest and fastest they will have seen yet. We can handle their running game if we don't leave the D out there for 40 minutes of the game to get worn down.
The UGA D will be 8 in the box and playing our receivers tight at the line to try to take away Slick Rick's effecient short passing game. They'll be begging him to float one downfield, and will probably keep a safety back there to play centerfield on it for an INT.
I think UT needs to spread the field to keep those guys out of the box and allow Riggs some room. We'll need plenty of misdirection plays as noted earlier to use their speed against them. But the WR must find a way to get separation because they will be in their face all game long.
