We have no doubt the Dawgs CAN beat Texas (that’s assuming we finally play all 4Q which hasn’t happened yet). We've still got more talent, tho I do think this yr’s Texas is (currently) a better TEAM than this yr’s Dawgs — they’ve certainly played better.
However, I like how this game sets up for us:
•UnderDawgs: 3.5pt dogs (3pts for home field adv)- first time in 3 years Dawgs haven’t been favored to win? Kirby might not care, but the players know it.
•Sense of Urgency: we've already got 1 L; Horns can still afford to lose a game.
•Reverse Rat Poison:🐀☠️
EVERYONE will pick Texas all wk long after we 💩 bed 1H @Bama. #briarpatch
•Chance at Redemption:
tailor-made opportunity to cancel out our loss to Bama
•Road-tested: UGA has played toughest road slate among all ranked teams:
@ KY & @#4 Bama at nite, plus #10Clemson (neutral site). Stage won't be too big.
•Payback’s a b*#%€: As competitive as Kirby is, you know he wants this one after our loss to UT in 2018 Sugar Bowl when we had several key starters opt out before the NFL Draft & Texas QB Elingher prematurely announced to the world “We’re baaaack”.
It sure would be nice to actually score early & play with a lead… but at the very least, control the ball/clock & limit Horns’ # of possessions by moving the chains on O, winning 3rd downs/getting off the field on D and winning (or at least not losing) the turnover battle. That’s how Bama beat us & how Vandy beat Bama. The Horns can score a points, so play “keep-away”, control both LOS, & win it the old-fashioned SEC Way.
34-30 Dawgs on Top.
