Time to start the analysis . . .

Okay, so there's really not much to "analyze" about Buffalo. However, someone put 'em on the schedule, so here we go . . .
They went 3-9 last year. Ouch. Being generous, they might have added two more games to the win total if the ball had bounced a little better for them.
Strengths - not many. QB Chaz Anderson passed for a respectable 2454 yards, half of which was between Alex Neutz and Marcus Rivers, his top receivers. Both receivers are back, and both are no shorter that 6'4". Chaz is back again this year, hoping to improve on 11 TDs versus 9 interceptions - another OUCH. On a MUCH brighter note for the Buffalo Bulls is their RB, Branden Oliver. This guy amassed 1395 yards on 306 touches, scoring a team high 13 TDs. Those stats, folks are QUITE respectable, even more so when you consider that this team is pathetic. In modern day football, carrying the ball 306 times pretty much means you ARE the offense. The second leading rusher on the team was - get this - Chaz Anderson.
Weaknesses - pretty much everything else. This team got blown out by Tennessee (although, to be fair, we've laid that same egg before - just not last year), and lost to even Ball State. Okay, that's enough about them for now. Good thing they are on the schedule, since we will be down a couple of DBs and a LB or two for opening day.
My prediction -
UGA 41 (or whatever Richt wants to score), Buffalo 3 (if Grantham is feeling merciful).

I would play the 1's at least through most of the 3rd Qtr. I would want to be convinced these guys were all on the same page both offensively and defensively, blocking schemes, right D alignments, player discipline on THEIR assignments, etc etc before subsituting in a big way.

yep with you 100% on that. Timing and blocking schemes for the OL is of the upmost importance with this new group. Play the 1's until the 4th qtr. for sure.
