Too bad or maybe not "too bad" that this game will be played on a wet Saturday in Athens.
Much of the college football world has commented on our offensive line for a couple of years. Realizing that we have some aches and pains, also realizing that A&M had a week to heal. Not sure just how this will play out, suspicion here is that most of our front line players, both offense and defense will not be hampered by bumps and bruises from our game with Auburn.
Expect to see a lot of toss sweeps and up the gut football from us today. Don't think we will have a replay of the Kentucky game, weather wise and game planning.
Bet this . . . . Jimbo Fisher will do some things that do not ordinarily play out in wet weather. While Fisher is a solid all around coach, he steps out a bit further when least expected. On defense fully expect A&M to play man. Why not? Man has given us some problems the entire year. Texas A&M reminds me a lot of Auburn, not from an overall talent standpoint but from the quarterback position.
This will be another game that is probably heavily influenced by Special Team(s) play. Wet footballs have a way of making a game "interesting", to say the least.
Glad that we have Jake under center for our last game in Sanford Stadium. Little doubt in my mind that his ability to change calls at the line of scrimmage give us an advantage and an added coach on the field. Fisher is aware of Jake's talents, having commented on same this week.
Hope that our punting game is ready today, feel that there will be several punts being fielded before the game is over. Sure have enjoyed watching #8 taking over on returning punts. Blalock is a special player, have said before, I see a lot of his actions that remind me of Hines Ward. Great future at Georgia and beyond, whether football or elsewhere.
To the FANS that brave the weather and attend, hat is off to all of you. Real easy to sit in front of the wide screen TV and enjoy food and drink.
