Thriller I agree with you 100%, back a couple of years ago this would be a game that we could look forward to a big hiccup,dont believe such is the case now. Do think the score will be more like UGA 38- Gamechicks 3 though. The defense still wants another shutout.

GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!GATA

The sun shines on a different Dawg every day

I don't think there's any more or less concern with the focus of Scar than there was with our previous opponents. They'll scheme for us, practice against the run, etcetera etcetera, just like everybody else did.

There is nothing in their body of work to date that lends me to believe they pose any greater threat than anyone else we've faced. Stats alone paint a bad picture for the cock in this game.

If there is an area of concern, it's whether or not Kirby can keep this team grounded, and not sold on the hype of a number one ranking. That's worked out pretty well so far and I firmly believe we cover the spread this week.

LimeyDawg, I agree with that, and was concerned until I read THIS:

" Question - When you're on a streak of lopsided outcomes like the past six games, what do you say to the team during the week, particularly the younger guys, to make sure they stay focused?

'You don't have to say anything. They go out and practice. Practice is tough. I mean, we don't go out there in practice and get a big 28-point lead or anything and shut it down. We go at each other and try to create a culture of toughness and playing hard. We really didn't play that way defensively against Florida. There are clips all over the field where guys are turning down contact, not wanting to hit people. We showed it to our players. We have to correct that in practice and the young players were part of that. ' "

Another reason to believe in Kirby and his methods - here he quotes the O'Jays, "Backstabbers":

“I keep repeating that, but I guess nobody believes us,” Smart said. “That maybe we’re just saying that and we all sit around and just pat ourselves on the back. That’s not what’s going on here. Our kids have been made aware, (and) it’s been a common theme for us throughout the year, that they’re smiling in your face. And that’s what people do.”

The enemy has most always been ourselves as much as it has been our opponents, as noted by thriller and others.

No... SCar does not scare me at all. We are the better team.

God Bless and Go Dawgs
