Auburn - can't stand um!!!

Not sure just yet about our defensive front. They are playing hard, but this game will be a "true test" for us against the run.

Our offensive line has been coming together as the season has moved forward. Think that they have performed better than some give them credit for. Personally believe that Hutson Mason not "letting the football fly" has been a problem. That is not a shot at Hutson, he has said the same thing about not letting the football go. Looked good against Kentucky, liked Hutson's "attitude", hope he has that same "attitude" this weekend. For sure 95% of the fans attending the game will be in Hutson's corner.

Auburn runs their offense differently than many we play against. Pruitt/Rocker and Company are aware of that. Pruitt has coached against Gus Malzahn while at Alabama and FSU. I believe he has had this particular game in his head since leaving FSU and coming to Georgia.

We are deep at running back (again) have Malcolm Mitchell back, Conley and Bennett are always prepared. My way of thinking . . . . we have more talent than Auburn. Can we coach our talent up to the point of "recognizing" that? Do not want another JAX showing between the Hedges, that would not be good. Thinking out loud again.

Buc, said a month or so ago that I was concerned about our DL losing weight to get quicker. I understand that but this is the SEC not the ACC. Offenses run "downhill" and you had better be able to handle 300+ OL hitting you in the mouth. I'm not a proponent of the 350 NG etc etc but not so sure if the light, quicker, hands in the dirt guys, can handle good, BIG and quick OL in the SEC consistently......haven't lately (Dawgs got such a big and quick lead against Ark that it took them out of their running gameplan).

Also, don't forget Rumph....he looked like a beast last week....big target receiver with good hands.

Sadly that is what we thought about the Florida game. Hopefully learned from our mistake.

That won't happen against AU. They will NOT be over confident against them....they will be jacked.

Assburn DC said the only person to stop Gurley was the autograph dealer.

Should Gurley start Saturday?

You know my answer yes.

wlayton, really line seeing Rumph on the field and catching the ball. He could be a very valuable piece this Saturday in Athens. Had always like the idea of him catching the ball in the end zone. With Gurley back along with our other backs, makes like much easier for Rumph.

In another post I mentioned that Malcolm Mitchell being on the field really helps our running game, same applies with Rumph on the field, inside the red zone, running backs that we have make defenses "cheat".

You said and I agree . . . . Also, don't forget Rumph....he looked like a beast last week....big target receiver with good hands.

wlayton, we have serious offensive talent in 2014. Won't go any further . . . . right now.

Serious offensive talent!!!....only thing missing is an equally talented QB.....could you imagine what AM could do with this offensive unit now that the OL is finally good and with depth????......unstoppable.

wlayton, have had serious thoughts about AM with this offensive line, and . . . . talent.
