I’ve watched every UGA this year and watched most of the ones that overlapped with Tech games. They have a good record to show for what they’ve done but they have played some bad football at times.
Auburn was the first true road game UGA played in, (Georgia had close to 45,000 fans at the Norte Dame game) and Fromm was rattled after the first drive. UGA is used to getting a lead and keeping it all game, in the games where the other team was able to score and keep it close into the 2nd half Fromm struggled. Fromm’s success has come on Jump Ball go routes, he’s not dotting any secondaries up his WR are making the plays. Here are some examples of what a 3rd and long play for UGA and Fromm look like :
If we stop Chubb and Michel like we have for the past 3 years, Fromm is not going to beat us. Javon Wims might but it’s not going to be because of Fromm.
Defensively UGA is experienced, but overall lack Team defensive speed Other than Roquon Smith, and that’s why he leads them in tackles. He will make a play at 4 yards or 40 yards downfield for them if he can. I’m not sold on their senior DEs either. They are no better than the ones from Clemson. Auburn beat them with screen passes and counter runs because UGA is slow to the edge. If Kirby is smart he will move Smith to the Sam Backer but I️ doubt he will so he will probably stay at Mike backer. The outside should be open all game I️ just hope Quon can make the reads and I️ hope CPJ trust him to.
The Key to this game will be our secondary. They are going up against the best WR core they’ve seen all season and they will also be asked to do more in run support then they have all season.
Bottom line is that UGA should not beat us by 20+ points like they think they should.
