Alabama or Georgia?

[NDGOLDEN]

I know we keep talking about it but i just wanted to make a thread on who we really want to play for the NCG.

I still don't even know who i want to play cause they both run well on offense and both have efficient QB but not great QB's. We stop the run extremely well and personally id rather go up against 2 freshman RB's at Georgia in this situation.

And plus Georgia is worse on run defense then bama is and we thrive on getting the run working so golson can get to work and do what he does.

But watching what manziel did to bamas D a couple weeks ago and i know golson isn't the exact same but he is close to manizel in that he can get out of the pocket and run and i think bama has trouble with mobile QB's.

And if you wanna be the best you gotta beat the best which right now is the reigning champions in bama.

Saying all this i still dont know who id rather play but realistically it doesnt matter cause were gonna come out with a really good game plan and play whoever we need to and do what we do and this year its WINNING.

This thread needs a poll.

I just want to play whoever we're most likely to beat. It will be the SEC winner, so bama/Georgia, doesn't matter to me.

Egos aside, who do we have the best chance to beat?

Definitely needs a poll.

Here is my view on things...

If we were playing the team next week, I would want Alabama. Their defense, despite their lofty ranking, is vulnerable sometimes when they can't dominate the LOS... and our defense is a really good matchup against their style of offense. Georgia, if they bring their 'A' game (which is inconsistent), has some crazy good individual players that might make too many big plays.

But given the 5 weeks of prep? I think I want Georgia. Because Nick Saban with that much time = not good. Mark Richt? I think Kelly wins that coaching matchup. And when Georgia brings their 'B' game they are downright average... their OL isn't super awesome like 'Bama so we should get *some* rush... and Murray can implode when that happens. Then we only have to not make mistakes on O... because Jarvis Jones, Bacarri Rambo, & Co. can make game changing plays if you aren't careful. But with 5 weeks of prep? I think we'd be mighty careful.

I want Alabama for the historical reasons, but in terms of winning I would want Georgia. Both are good teams and won't be an easy win, but Saban is a much better coach than Mark Richt in my opinion. UGA is going to need to play lights out just to beat Bama this Saturday. We match up better with Bama's offense, but I think Bama is a better team overall. I'll be watching Saturday night and analyzing everything I can.

As in, you want to beat them? Or you think ND has a better chance to beat them? I'm with LAX on this.
