Why try to win?  Because it's football.  You win with a bunch of cutthroat pipehitting motherfuckers, and resting starters in a championship game is pussy bullshit.

Yes - this is a hang the banner game! Year one in the SEC and come home with the trophy, regardless of playoff success, is a great season! Plus you get a week off to rest and find out who your next opponent will be.

Hook’em!!!

Correction, extra 10 or 11 days off. 

First round starts in 2 weeks...

No thanks!

It’s a joke.   I’ve never understood why those clowns wear those things, especially at night.     Unlike a hat which most dudes wear to hide their hair or lack of hair, visors are supposed to be to block the sun.

If we beat Georgia would not play for three weeks.
Lot of healing time which is desperately needed. In the past I'd be concerned with some of our guys having too much time to do stupid shit that gets them suspended at best, arrested at kicked at worst.

Of course that sort of thing hasn't been an issue since Sark took over, very refreshing.

Curious to see how Sark plays this championship game??   Not sure Texas can afford to be conservative especially with our terrible punt team...

Texas is a 2.5-point favorite over Georgia in college football Week 15 odds for the game, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. 

The Longhorns are -145 on the moneyline. The Bulldogs are +125. 

The over/under for the game is set at 48.5 points.

The OTF guys have me worried about the matchup. Gerry says the UGA LB’s are athletic enough to shut down all the perimeter stuff that Sark likes to run early and their interior DL can wreck our outside zone. Plays are there to be had down the field with our WR’s vs their DB’s but those take time to develop and Quinn needs to see them and not be focused on the pass rush. 
 

Seems like pass protection for Quinn is the most important matchup in this game and we have to improve bigly over the performance in Austin. 

Uh, did OTF really need to tell you that? Did you not watch the first game?

Hopefully our OL and Quinn are pissed over what’s been said about them in the first game and are looking to avenge the loss. 

The OL didn't play a great game against Georgia by any means but Ewers made them look significantly worse than they were. He froze and/or self sacked with serviceable protection plenty of times.

The OL seems to have really hit their stride in November, I'm confident they'll put forth a competitive effort. Ewers, eh, he is what he is under pressure at this point. If Georgia gets to him it's gonna be a bad time.

We’ve still yet to see the Georgia defensive front play as well as they did against us. It did not make sense at the time how they played so much better against us than they had showed and still doesn’t looking at the rest of their season. It seemed like they knew our plays. Then there was a report of a Georgia player saying after the game that they knew what we were running. I was never able to find that so not sure if it’s true or not. 

It seemed at the time that we must have been tipping somehow. But then the reports of un-encrypted headsets came out so who knows. 

This is all speculation of course, but if they did know our plays somehow this should be a completely different game.  

Well, hopefully, Sark is aware of this and makes sure it NEVER happens again.

Sark needs to work the refs like Smart does... well, not that hard, but more than he usually does. It's the SEC way, it seems.
He also needs to make a point, in the pre-game meeting with refs, of Smart's habit of coming way out onto the field to argue. In the GT game, he was obnoxious as hell. I had a hard time believing he wasn't at least warned, and if I was that sideline official I think I'da told him the next time he came 10 or 15 yards out, yapping, it'd cost his team fifteen yards. 

FUCK KIRBY SMART!!!! I haven’t hated a HC this much since dick gobbler Stoops.

Beck sucked and they were only scoring because they were starting every possession in Texas territory because of turnovers and mistakes. Limit that, make them drive the length of the field and they're going to struggle to score on us. Their skill guys suck.

Their defense was coked up too. I don’t expect that this Saturday (hopefully not).

That little Manning wrinkle is just the beginning.

Sark has been implementing a stack of offensive wrinkles to misdirect and totally confuse defenses depending on when its necessary.

The other thing Sark understands is that if our guys are just out there outworking their guys to just keep it simple and beat their asses strait up.

I think he's figured out that it is actually much better to grind a defense down to pieces than it is to get cute and shock them with 4 and 5 play scoring drives. Yeah still throw a deep ball or two but ultimately if defenses are going to play a light or normal box and keep everything in front of us and dare us to run, we just do that. Run.

Run it strait down their throats the whole game.

Wisener

Blue

Gibson

WRs 

Manning

Screens and swings and flats

It's not 3 yards and a cloud of dust with us, it's usually 0 yards or 6-12 yards.

Can you just imagine how hard Georgia and Kirby Smart and the Ga fans were pulling for aggy last Sat night?  I guarantee you, they did NOT want Texas to win that game….gives us the motivation we need to play them again!

yup

plus they were looking ahead and had to get lucky and some ref help to beat Georgia Tech

Fuck their over rated front running asses

In honor of playing in their first SEC title game in their first year, I want Sark to call roll left on a 4 and inches call with a pass to a wide open Helm.  Just for the hell of it.

I was just thinking this after re-watching that play earlier today.

would absolutely love to see Sark pull that out of the hat on our first 4th and short.

This is all setting up so nicely.

win and sit back and root for a Penn St mild upset (I think it probably happens…I also think UNLV upsets Boise St but that’s for a different thread. I kinda want to see that just to give a big fu to the qb and rb that quit on the team).

go in as the 1 seed with a road that allows us to redeem a new year’s loss in New Orleans, then back to jerryworld where things went pretty well last time we were there and finally back to Atlanta to finish the job.

Would also be a good test on how attendance is going to look at these quarter and semi rounds. If the superdome and Jerryworld aren’t packed in that scenario, the neutral site CFP games never will be.

A Texas/smu semi in Arlington would be bizarro world.

If you cannot run the ball your QB is almost always fucked.

I think we had less than fifty yards rushing in that game albeit some of that was sack yardage.

I expect us to run much better this time but would not be surprised if Sark comes out throwing to set up the run early.

Cross posting this because it's remarkable.

Here is an incredible stat: Texas has more Interceptions than TDs allowed

Texas has 18 interceptions against 13 TD's allowed. 

Next best is Ohio State with 9 ints to 13 TDs allowed.

Of the 13 TD's that Texas has allowed, only four were passing TDs, so Texas has 18 ints to 4 passing TDs, a ratio of 4.5 to one. 

I remember games against the Sooners when our defense gave up more than four passing TDs in one game.

Georgia's defense, conversely, has given up 26 TDs --- twice as many as has Texas.

I'm thinking that, in the modern era, those kinds of numbers/ratios might be historically good.

My head immediately said “‘01 Miami says hold my beer’ “ so I looked it up.

28 INTs, 5 passing TDs (13 TDs total) in 12 games.

so surprisingly close on the total TDs allowed but nowhere near as close on the turnovers (Miami also recovered 20 fumbles to go with those 28 INTs. Just mind-numbingly stupid to AVERAGE 4 TOs per game).

They have a little 5 year run and think that they are God's Gift all of a sudden. 

Well, their fans were trashy dickheads, so it’s fine if they consider us the wine and cheese set. We were undoubtedly loud at that game, we just weren’t assholes to their shitty fans.

How many of those touchdown drives started in our own territory?

TD drives of 13, 34, and 89 yards.

FG drives were 4, 13, and 25 yards.

This is exactly what I was thinking. They only had one scoring drive of more than 35 yards. 
 

the 89 yard drive was the back breaker.  They get a stop there and Texas has the ball close to midfield with momentum down 8.

Brian Fremeau has us as 26-20 favorites, seems like most models favor Texas (yes, we were favored last time too). 

Models don’t account for shell shocked QBs turning the ball over 3+ times on our own side of the field.

UGA first half scoring drives started at:

Fumble recovered at Texas 13 (TD)

Punt return to Texas 28 (FG)

INT returned to Texas 34 (TD) 

Punt to UGA 45 (FG)

Fumble recovered at Texas 30 (FG)

YEEEECCCHHH

For those scoring at home, that's an average starting field position of about the Texas 27 yard line.

ETA - that first fumble occurred after we'd picked off Beck TWICE in UGA's first 3 drives. That game was beyond frustrating.

That 89yd drive fucking sucked. We cut the deficit to 8 and had them in a 3rd and long that they converted. Game seemed to be done once that happened. 

Force them into long drives consistently and I think we win. I doubt we can just line up and run the ball down their throats, though. Quinn is going to have to make some plays and limit his mistakes.

We've been consistently inconsistent since that game, but have continued to win our games comfortably enough and haven't lost since. 

I think Vegas is looking at a Georgia team that can't really put 4 quarters together on offense/defense/special teams. 

Since that game:

Georgia
14 point win over Florida (UF up 13-6 at the half)
18 point loss to Ole Miss
14 point win over Tenn
Umass slaughter
8OT, 2 point win over GT

Texas
3 point win over Vandy (10 point 4th Q lead before a miracle TD by Vandy under a minute left) 
32 point win over UF
10 point win over Arky
17 point win over Kentucky
10 point win over aggy

whatever the line is today and the rest of the week is driven by the idea of beating a team twice regardless of how you did it the first time is a different proposition regardless of where it's played

The first game, Georgia's defensive game plan was to deny QE the throws he really likes, i.e. screens and short passes to the wr, te, and rb. We came out trying to run those plays and they jumped all over it. It was like Sark was trying to run the base plays first to set up his counters, but Georgia had watched so much film he should have started with the counters. They denied us enough to rattle us in general and turn over the ball too many times.

Their D is not great statistically. I don't think we will be out schemed/out prepared again. It won't be too hard to connect downfield, have some success running the ball, play action, and open up Georgia's D. Horns make a statement. Hook Em!
