The bigger problem is the offensive line. Their play is so wildly inconsistent it would be difficult for any back to generate any type of running rhythm.

I often think back to when we had astroturf at Folsom. While grass looks way cooler, it definitely hinders skill players and neutralizes talent differences.
If Folsom has the new-age fieldturf, I bet Stewart would be a bigger threat to bust a long one.

Isn't that a good thing for the Buffs recently? We haven't exactly been known as speed merchants for quite some time.
It also doesnt help that we are no threat in the pass game and defenses can get away with playing run a majority of the time. Until TH can prove that he can consistently pass with some accuracy and actually complete the deep ball, defenses will just stack the LOS and blitz the **** out of us. Hopefully they will work with him these next 2 weeks on ball placement and we may actually get some YAC on our 5-10 yd crossing routes and hit wide open receivers down the field. 1 deep completion this season isn't going to back any defense down and UGA has the speed in the secondary to play a lot of man coverage.
Actually Georgia is one of the worst teams in the country in pass coverage this year. A lot of blown assignments. This should be a good opportunity for us to throw it around. Also their O-line line is not that great, we should be able to get to their young QB, we put pressure on him and that will help us prevent Green from doign much. That team is not as good as some think.
They also played two ranked SEC opponents in the first 3 weeks (one of which being Arkansas with Ryan Mallet @ QB), so I wouldn't be so quick to make comparisons between the performance of their defense against 2 very solid teams and how our offense will fair against them.
And they have the 20th ranked rushing defense (which def. does not play to our favor) and 37th in total defense...
Meh, I'm not worried, they're Georgia. One of the most overatted programs since Richt has been there. No better than the WVU team we beat in 2008

Here's how I see it:
Their offense vs ours: Tie
Their defense vs ours: Tie
Home field advantage: Us
Coaching: Them
A toss-up, imo. If "insert name of any warm body other than Hawkins here" were here, we would win this game handily.
I see us having home field advantage only. To say our offense is better than anyone in the SEC is a complete joke.Here's how I see it:

My head hurts.
Georgia is going to roll us and it has everything to do with matchups.
I don't know, man. EA College Football had Makiri Pugh as a starter and one of UGA's highest-rated DBs. I love their DL, but if we give Hansen any time we will find open receivers.
FIFY...
Our defense looks stout at times and I think we will be able to keep the score low given that they have a freshman QB; however (stating the obvious I know) if we don't get any pressure (a weak point thus far for us) and don't defend the deep ball w/ Green it will be ugly. I don't see them doing much on the ground.
Offensively I have to give the advantage to the UGA defense...our offense (with the exception of 1 solid quarter of running the ball) is the best defense in the NCAA. too many penalties, not enough creativity, inability to throw the ball, and poor O-line play against a decent defense = CAL part II.
Home field advantage does go our way, but our coaching deficiencies can make up for that. IMO, Our only chance is to wear them down with the no huddle and hope the altitude gets to them.
Hate to be a debbie downer, but if anybody is looking at that UH game thinking that all of the sudden we have an offense, you are crazy. I would love nothing more than to be proven wrong...but if the last 4 years isn't enough evidence, i don't know what is.
He had a great game last night, and a lot of it was because the coaches actually rotated the RBs a bit. Giving Speedy 95% of the carries does not work, but allowing him to be the change of pace back so he is fresh in the second half does work. Please keep mixing it up.
