[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 16500, member: 639"] Thanks for asking. I think they are athletic but undisciplined and inexperienced. They have all the talent, or maybe I should say ability, needed to make it a tough day for us, but I am not convinced they will. If you want comparisons, I would say look at Miami. It is a very similar situation size, talent, and speed wise. We looked like we were going to blow the doors off them, but kind of fizzled with mistakes. UGAg is big up front and their LBs can run, like always. In fact, I think the entire match up, offense and defense, sets up a lot like the Miami (with Duke Johnson) game. Their #2 at QB is probably Morris's equal and "Girly" might be the only back in the country better than Johnson. We are going to need to play well to win. That goes without saying. Did you watch the Humpers play Allbarn? UA gave them fits with the option elements they run. Staying disciplined for them will be the challenge. Remember, they are replacing most all of the defenders that had experience going against us. That sets up well for GT. The match up we all need to be concerned about is their OL vs our DL and that ball being handed to Girly man. UGA is very very good and physical up front and they can stay on their blocks. You just know Richt has pulled aside their #2 and told him he doesn't need to win the game for them, just hand the ball off and execute a few simple play action throws and screens. We are going to be hard pressed to limit the run game. It is going to take numbers, because, quite frankly, we are weak in the trenches on defense. Roof has done a great job scheming around this fact all year, but you aren't holding many cards when you go against offenses like this one. Get ready because they are going to pound us, and if successful, they are going to keep pounding us. We win if we can run the ball consistently against them and limit possessions, while our defense, somehow, can slow down their run with numbers without allowing some explosion plays through the air.
