No AJ Ponder this

Greetings,

So what if no AJ, break it down.

Our defense wins this game. Offense does not need to do stupid stuff. We will grind the ground game and come fourth quarter..big gains. WE and CK will have more space to run in.

Word off campus that CTS & CMB both held back on what they asked the "O" line to do in the first game. Solid pratice in pads yesterday. Me thinks you will see more giddy up from them this week.

If USC wants to jam the line by putting a extra body in the box fine. Showtime for our tight ends.

AM just needs to protect the ball, I have said it here before, this group will look at what it has for players, then the coaches and players will refocus and regroup.

Yes I want AJ back, but I feel we can and will win with or w/o him. As always Go Dawgs !

yankeedawg1, would not be afraid to enter Columbia without AJ either. Would prefer to have AJ, not too many like him in college. As some have said, top 10 pick in the NFL draft.

Agree that neither side of the ball put it all out there for SS to see. Same can be said for the game plan that SS put on the field.

This could be the type of game that has been mentioned on this board for a while now. Tight ends play a major role. No doubt in my mind. Not only for blocking purposes, we have a couple of young men that can flat catch and make yards.

We all know that this will be an aggressive game. Damn, I love SEC football.

Would not worry about AM protecting the ball too much, young man knows how to play in certain games. Guarantee that AM is looking forward to playing against the South Carolina QB. Both came from the Tampa area and were high on most lists coming out of high school. Garcia looks as if he has finally opened his eyes.

South Carolina will not hold this offense under 20 points. Bank it.

SS did not want to lose to Connecticut in the post season. Coach Lakatos did a masterful job of "frustrating the heck out of SS and son). One of the reasons in my opinion that SS took over the play calliing this year. Now SS can square off with Coach Lakatos . . . my pick Lakatos. This D backfield is loaded with talent and it is going to be impossible to throw or run on them after another game or two. This game means a LOT. We beat SS, we beat Arkansas.

Spy on Marcus Lattimore and this will pay dividends. ML also was known to cough the ball up in high school. Coach Grantham will have the D foaming at the mouth at kickoff on Saturday. High Noon, not an Old Western . . . .High Noon kicking SS's butt. I have and will always have a sour taste in my mouth for SS and the contempt he not only showed in college coaching, pros also.

Beginning to get the butterflies. Too damn old to play.

We win the turnover battle I predict . . . 31-17 . . . UGA of course.

Buc, Heard a cold brew and a tums takes care of butterflies.

Hey they are still South Carolina ! I do not see any earth shaking improvement on their defense or for that matter the same with the Hogs. CTG defense giving up 5 TD to the Hogs-not

I feel that our "D" will give Garcia a bad case of happy feet,followed by blitz fever! Would not be surprised to see a pick 6.

Take care all, and Go Dawgs !

Well do great, if we can establish the running game.
