This is a quote from Southern Miss Head Coach Larry Fedora on having to use his 4th and 5th string running backs in an upcoming game. BTW, both weigh less than 190 lbs.
While some of the faces have changed, Fedora expects the offense to be just as effective.
“It’s going to be based on how we do (on the offensive line) to be honest with you,” Fedora said. “If we get our backs to the second and third level, come off the ball and be physical, then we’ll be fine.”

UGA will win or lose the game on the offensive side of the line of scrimmage.
If Georgia can grind the Vols defense and keep Tyler Bray on the sideline I don't see any way that Tennessee wins.
This post hits the nail squarely on the head......OL.....total key to the game.
Btw, we will need to throw the ball some. ANY team can stop the run if they choose to by loading the box....plus our OL is average at best. I totally agree to run, run, run but you HAVE to throw the ball enough to keep the "box" a little empty.
Oh....when in the red zone (especially inside the 10).....RUN THE BALL for sure.
