Enjoyed this person’s take. Don’t agree with everything, but the respect is there…
Georgia won't waste any time worrying about establishing the run or making sure the media and fans know they are not soft. So the Bucks can't either...let's let that go. In the Bulldogs biggest two games vs Tennessee and LSU...they scored early on big pass plays and disregarded the run game. They are not a run team. They have great TE's and a very good QB...and a great D. Their TWO tight ends are REALLY good. #19 is their C2 zone buster...but #0 is really good...probably a better NFL prospect as he is a traditional TE. They have a running back by committee approach but when #6 is in...he is a very dangerous receiver. Bennett is very good...does not get rattled with pressure at age 37, and can run when its the right time. McConkey is dangerous on the edge and other receivers are talented guys. IF Knowles brings 5 or more guys too often, they better get home as the Bulldogs will hurt you when you miss on the blitz. Hope the Bucks take a different approach...make em drive the field and run the ball...This is not a team that can bully you in the red-zone - young OL and no dominant back...let em drive, kick field goals...but limit big plays. Because they are going to score...on a bad day this team scores 32...lol.
JTT, Sawyer and Harrison: OK you recruitniks...here you go big-timers. Those guys WERE your 5-star guys. They need to win one-on-one match-ups and keep OSU from bringing 5 or 6 too often. Its step-up time. JTT and Sawyer in particular - time to launch next year's team by showing up and making SERIOUS plays. Might as well play pass on first down because the Bulldogs are going to scheme and pass - they are not bring a fullback in to run off-tackle. Get off, make a stop for a loss and put the D in position to get off the field. Overall defense: be ready for motion, movement, and screens. Watch backs out of the backfield and their TWO TE's. Limit the big play and make them drive. Hold em to 32 points lol.
Offense...don't jump offsides. Serious. They stem and bring fake stunts...they will make you move. Tennesse jumped themselves out of 7-14 points. They have 2 GREAT safeties - especially #24. They make 9 yard run plays into 4 yard gains due to how quick they key and how well they come downhill and tackle. Run the ball to keep em honest, but there is NO WAY we win running the ball. NONE...unless their stud safeties lay an egg...and #88 gets hurt. BTW, he's the real deal. Carter vs Donovan Jackson...huge. Ok you 5-star guys...step up. Jackson limits him to 3 plays and its a win...lol...because this guy makes 3 amazing plays in his sleep.
Ok - I know you will hate this...but WR screens are a good option. The one weak area of the Bulldogs 3-3-5 is the edge. And they like to bring 5...so hit those edges even harder. Marvin has to have his "JSN Rose Bowl" game. But moreso...Fleming needs to have his "Harrison Rose Bowl game"...lol. Egbuka will get his and can take it to the house when Bulldogs bring 5...and we need it. This is the key of the game right there.
Football gods need to break to OSU. This football is a great ball - it bounces funny. It bounced to the Bulldogs vs LSU. A blocked FG? yes. A blocked FG returned for a TD? UGH...what? An interception because it bounced off an LSU players helmet? Wow. OSU needs those plays to break their way.
I see it this simple - for all you recruitniks fanatics grumbling about 5-stars...here is your chance to make that matter: Does Cj/Marvin/Egbuka/Fleming dominate Georgia when they bring 5 or 6? It has to happen to win. Does JTT, Sawyer, Vincent and Harrison win 1-1 battles to keep Georgia behind the chains? If so...then....
Could we lose by 21...sure...yes and even worse. LOL. But hit those sideline hitches and fades to Harrison and some slants to Fleming...and take a few slot routes to Egbuka to the house?? I'm excited for it...we have a chance to win. Thats a fact.
