So did a quick scan, NONE of The most predictive college football rating systems have Georgia ahead of us (And that’s with Beck).

Understand it’s Only 1.5 And we have some unknowns with injuries, but I’m still surprised we aren’t the favorite with Stockton starting.

I haven't missed many UGA snaps this year. It's more about OLine and Dline. Defense is pretty solid too. UGA doesn't need a stud QB to win. All my UGA buddies say they are excited about gunner...because he has some wheels and Beck has been pretty God awful at times. I expect a hard fought game that ND wins at the end.

I’m worried we won’t be able to run the ball. I have no faith that our passing game can consistently make the plays to win. We’ll see.

We won't be able to line up man for man and run it up the middle. That 100% won't work. With 10 days to plan I'd love to see RL and JL work on a few options plays. Give me some Rick Mirer to Rodney Culver type plays...nobody would expect it...and it would work. I have a ton of faith in Denbrock, and I think we only need 24 to beat them. UGA (at least with Beck) isn't the UGA of years past...their offense has been a trash can many times this year.

Denbrook needs to go deep early and hopefully hit to get them out of the box. You can expect UGA to spy Riley all day too so the off script scrambles won't be as easy.
-QB power run will work.
-Love misdirection off the QB power has a chance of breaking big.
-Kris Mitchell and Faison will be needed to take the top off and that can open up the running game.

Anyone looking at this game and doesn’t see a tough one has lost their mind.

UGA is gonna be tough. They have had plenty in time to watch video on us. But we also get more time than normal to pre-plan for them as well.

We have to try early to go deep. If they run blitz like IU did we will be in trouble. The quality of players IU have aren’t the same as Georgia.

Based on Denbrock’s gameplan—as Bud Elliott alluded—we’ve been advanced scouting UGA for weeks. We just had to play a warm-up against IU beforehand. I don’t think anything we did against IU was anything that’s going to tip our hand for UGA. Even the defensive gameplan was pretty vanilla. Our guys on Friday were just better than their guys.

Yeah, giving Smart that much time to prepare worries me. Our offense has to be able to move the ball on the ground. I’d hope that ND was doing a little bit of prep work for Georgia prior to IU.

I think this game will be a lot closer than people think we need to be healthy.
-Leonard will run his ass off if he has too be barely ran against IU
-Georgias DB’s aren’t that good
-Georgias WR’s aren’t good
-If I’m golden I start off in man coverage with designed blitzes load the box make the beat you throwing it. Find out how good of a thrower there QB is

I'd play them like we played USC on defense. I trust Moore, Gray, and Watts back there and get there on Stockton and see if we can rattle him. Maiava is better than what we will see on NYD.

And that’s how it should be.

This game could very well be like 10-7.
Could be 10-7 and it could also be 45-40. You never know how these top matchups go.

I have a feeling that we will try to not get in a shoot out though.

When UGA beat us in South Bend, they had 3-4 circus catches. Not sure they have the same studs out wide to pull that off again.

To be fair A lot of people are picking us to win
