From Athens- Game Day Friday #6

The two teams that usce has beaten that most impresses me are UGA in 2010 and 2011, those are the most impressive wins they have. Lets not let em do it 3 times. GO DAWGS!!!!!!GATA

I hear you, and I know we are all on the same team. And I'm seriously not trying to be argumentative, just reassuring. But to make my point a little clearer: would you say our pass defense has been a little . . . "leaky" . . . at times this year? I would. We give up 222 yards passing per game, which sure sounds "leaky" to me.

What about that "vaunted" (one of my favorite words) South Carolina "D"? From what we are hearing, it's not possible for anyone to gain a yard through the air on them. Those DEs are on the QB SO FAST that even the "gunslingers" they've faced this year couldn't POSSIBLY get the ball out of their hands fast enough to complete a pass, right?

211 yards per game. That's right. 211. And that's against only one team with a winning record, Missouri. They got 3 sacks on Franklin, we got 2.

I admit, Clowney and Taylor are VERY good DEs. In fact, I'll go further and say I'd like to swap DEs with South Carolina, if I could. But I REFUSE to wring my hands worrying about the "slaughter" poor ol' Aaron Murray is being led into tomorrow night. Those mighty DEs haven't faced a QB with as many weapons around him yet. They haven't faced a QB as good, either.

We will win tomorrow night. They will get 2 or 3 sacks. Murray will light up their defense. Gurshall will get "his" yards. 24-14.

Beating UGA in 2010 doesn't impress me at all. Not even a little. Heck, COLORADO did it. And I won't give any credit to Clowney for that one anyway. I've said it before - stop Lattimore, stop Carolina. I would tattoo Jarvis Jones to Lattimore for the entire game.

That is the point I was making thriller. They don't overly impress me,that being said they are a good team none the less. GO DAWGS!!!!!!GATA

What is this "we are with YOU"?


Listen guys... I get the argument, but where have we built up a resume of greatness?

From our victories over Vandy, Buffalo? From allowing TN to put up 44?

Hey, I think we are going to win as well, but the fact SC hasn't played any quality
opponents yet this season doesn't mean they are not a quality team, nor does it mean
their DE's are not impressive.

thriller, we need to spread the field with Gurshall in the "pistol". If we can block their front 4 even a little, AM can have a field day because USC's DBs are their weakness on D (AM needs to throw short quick pass routes). Plus if we spread it out, we can run it as well. Early in the UT game we spread the field and we could call almost anything we wanted. If we go to the power "I" with 2 TE's, we will NOT be able to run the ball.....my opinion.
