I'd rather have Priest Holmes from that '96 conference champ game.

Bucky used to talk about that game was one of Ricky's best as a running back.  It wasn't about what he did with the ball that game.  He blocked his ass off and was a huge plus factor in pass protection.  I guess the point is you couldn't go wrong with either one of them.

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!

someone mentioned it in the aftermath, but Kirby had the game circled and wanted revenge for that Sugar Bowl loss. it's clear he scouted the heck out of us.

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.

Yes, last game was a showdown of inept QB play. Getting Pressure on Beck is going to be paramount. He is great in a clean pocket (91 PFF). He is terrible with pressure (36 PFF grade, 10 turnover worthy plays in 65 attempts).  He has looked much better lately. Last 3 games he has been very good. Their WRs like to drop the ball (Arian Smith, I am looking at you)

Wonders if Texas is more conservative on offense early due to Banks and Ewers injuries... Also asks is jawja just a bad matchup for Texas??

Is this jawja team just Texas' kryptonite???

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. 

The same Gerry Hamilton that thought we'd lose to aggy all season?

Georgia is legit. That one DT was throwing DJ around. I do think Wisner is running the OZ much better. He is cutting that play back way more frequently than he was at the time of the Georgia game. Hitting inside the guard as opposed to outside the TE. Georgia speed makes it really hard to win on the perimeter (outside runs and screens)

OL was credited with giving up 2 sacks vs Georgia. Lot of the issues were 2 fold. Quinn's inability to navigate a pocket (well documented) and Georgia getting good match-ups vs the TEs and RBs. People see 7 sacks and immediately say OL. That is not usually the case. Sack rates are one of the most consistent things when QBs change teams in the NFL. Flood needs to mix up his protections more. You can not allow Kirby to scheme up match-ups where NFL first round guys are being blocked by Helm and Wisner in pass pro.

In the aggy game Ewers finally showed a willingness to bail out and run even with his gimpy ankle.  I think scouting this is going to change up o how GA is forced to scheme.  If he shows the same willingness against the in the CCG I think it’s going to alleviate some of the problems we had against their DL in the previous game

It felt like at times they knew the snap count.   There were many plays where they shifted a split second before the ball was snapped to Ewers

I still have my Ricky Williams #11 Reebok Jersey that I bought from the co-op that year.  Its served well because we’ve had a lot of badass #11’s throughout the years!IMG_6564.thumb.jpeg.ba330bdfaabe36da7eb48de2083e28ba.jpeg

Wish the conference championship games were moved to home stadiums...  😋

They may need to do that if people start holding money to spend on playoffs rounds.  

Not really any great data point, but another lawyer in my firm who's a rabid Longhorn fan and attends a lot of away games said he's not going to the SEC championship game for this same reason.  At least a good chunk of Georgia fans get a break this Saturday on airfare.

It would be interesting to make it so the winner of the regular season gets to have the conf championship at home.  There's probably too much money in neutral sites to do it but it would be cool.

Should finally fix the Cotton Bowl up and make it the SEC championship game spot

It would be cool because since you get the bye week and not the first CFP round home game, then you earn that extra home game by winning the regular season.

Not sure Dallas could handle the SEC and Big 12 CCG on the same day, even though one would be at the Cotton Bowl and one at Jerry World

Don't think conferences will ever move the CCGs from their current sites - Dallas, Atlanta, Indy and Charlotte

Kind of miss the Pac 12 one being on a Friday night in Vegas.  It was so perfect 

Friday night - Pac 12
Saturday morning - Big 12
Saturday afternoon - SEC
Saturday night - B1G/ACC

Someone needs to take one for the team and move theirs into the old Pac 12 slot - I vote for the Big 12 and the move the ACC to Saturday morning.

There's no way in hell the SEC or cfb playoff committee is going to schedule a December neutral site game at an outdoor stadium. 

Agree.  The cfb playoff committee will just have to wait until January 1st to schedule a quarterfinal game outdoors at the Rose Bowl.
