BOL Round Table

My main concern on offense in this game is our RB position. Obviously depth is a growing concern now that our two co-starters are beat up. We're going to have to keep a back in a good bit of the time to help protect against their blitzes with J. Jones and their DB/Safety blitzes that Grantham likes to use (D. Swann is becoming a Honey Badger-type ball hawk for them, as well as Baccari Rambo). With EL seemingly always dinged up and now TJ's a bit hobbled, and now who knows what's going on with Drake and his existing difficulties in pass protection, I'm most worried about how we'll pick up those blitzes and provide our receivers with time to get into their routes and AJ time to find them. I really think we need to use a very similar offensive gameplan as we did in the NC game last year with quick outs and play action boot legs. I also think our screen game must be effective to slow down their blitzes.

My concern with their offense is that they are plenty capable of taking what A&M and LSU did with success, merge them, and use them against us. I can see them running a lot of no huddle to limit our substitutions, which will keep CJ off the field and Vinnie, Nico, and Trey on the field, creating mismatches in their favor. I can see them taking what LSU did with the quick passes and basically running right at us, as well as hitting their backs with quick passes when matched up with Nico and Trey.

I'm more worried about this game than any other this year. I'm more worried about UGA than I would be worried about ND should we make it to Miami. The only thing that gives me solace about this game is that it is a Mark Richt coached team, and traditionally they are not a mentally tough or very physical team. I have doubts about how they will handle the pressure of being on the doorstep of playing for a NC. Don't forget Aaron Murray is something like 3-9 against teams ranked in the top 25 at the time of the game. This year he's only completing around 41% of his passes against ranked opponents. I think we win, but it will take a damn good game on our part. If we show up like we did against LSU and A&M, we'll get beat. I live in GA and I'm already tired of hearing these Dawg fans now that they've jumped back on Richt's jock and the UGA bandwagon. We need to start fast and step on their throat early (or their face with a hob-nail boot).

I'm worried about Barrett Jones vs. their 360lb nose tackle.

They are both terrible. BJ will be fine.

If you saw Ga./FLA, THAT WILL BE THE GA. TEAM WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE, NOT THE ONE THAT PLAYED SC. IMHO, WE DON'T MATCH UP WELL AGAINST GA. IN THE PASSING GAME ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BALL. OUR RECEIVERS CAN'T BEAT COVERAGE AND WE CAN'T RUSH THE PASSER. THE PRESSURE AGAINST MURRAY WAS HOW GA AND FLA KEPT HIM OFF BALANCE AND WE DON'T PRESSURE THE QB. MANY THINK THE IRONBOWL WILL BE LAUGHABLE, IF WE CONTINUE TO TURN THE BALL OVER SAT. LIKE WE HAVE LATELY, AUB MAY BE THE ONE DOING THE LAUGHING. DON'T COUNT THIS OVER BEFORE WE PLAY, JUST SAYIN'. GA. HAS MORE PRO PROSPECTS THIS YEAR THAN ANY OTHER SEC SCHOOL AND THEY CAN HANDLE OUR SLOW PLODDING OFFENSE. WE WILL HAVE TO PLAY OUR BEST GAME OF THE YEAR TO WIN. ALSO, SAT. AINT OVER YET, BETTER NOT OVERLOOK AUBIE! HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY. RTR!!!!

This is all complete nonsense. Your views on coverage, rushing the passer, pro prospects...gosh really everything other than Thanksgiving are wrong.

Haha, oh well.

FAIL!
