sigh. bad matchup for us. have to limit our offense/ST giving the dawgs a short field. Considering the TOs and blocked punt with aggy, and well the luck (they dropped two picks) I just can't see it. it is who we is, is

georgia 24

texas 17

33 rushes for 98 yards

Both. And if you don’t think this team has the horses to do that? There’s the door.

I’d add to this - the team gets more rest winning this game and getting a bye (3 1/2 weeks) than they do if they have a first round home game (2 weeks).

I see we got a couple ppl in here acting like hoes, but honestly I get it. 
Most are looking at this game from one angle ,  but I feel like that first game was an anomaly. Texas won’t play that bad again (hopefully) and even if Georgia plays that good again I still think we had our opportunities the first time to make that a game even as bad as we played and we did. 
 

I like the horns here if we don’t turn the ball over. I believe Ewers an the O-Line have it on there mind with how had they played last game. Defense gone wreck shop like always offense just has to play which I think they will

Why does it have to be one or the other? I want both. It's right in front of us. There's no one team you point to this year like a Bama or Georgia of years past and say they are clearly better than everyone.

Winning the SEC puts us in the best position to win the national championship. We get an extra week of rest. Get the highest ranking we can get which will be #2. Only need to win 3 games versus 4. This is like getting the bye in the NFL playoffs.

It took them EIGHT overtimes to beat a 7-4 GT team. They scored ZERO points in the first half. There is nothing to worry about.

This is going to be a mudholing. 

Maybe, but this is the type of team, 2 titles in the last 3 years, that is on the decline but still capable of raising their game for big moments, as we saw in October. I seriously doubt it'll be anything but a coin flip game. Plus, we know both teams are in the playoff so do they both go all out for the conference title? I could see Texas wanting the title more, but Georgia wanting to get the stink of the GT game off and make a statement. 

The film guy Brooks had some interesting film on the first matchup. Saw a level of execution Georgia did, especially in coverage and run defense, that they haven't done in another game all year. Can they duplicate that?

A couple of the more interesting notes:

With their team speed Georgia doesn't get beat for explosives on screens and quick outs, pretty much ever. Said he couldn't remember the last time he saw Georgia film where a screen hit them for more than 20. Our extensive use of the quick screen game was smoked in that first meeting. 

Georgia went man a ton on 3rd down and they blanketed our receivers. Which was surprising since they haven't done that nearly that successfully all year otherwise. Most of the time would disguise as zone presnap then go man. Ewers and Manning had issues recognizing it. If they had recognized it there were man beaters for huge plays open that were missed. 

Other thing is Georgia usually gets run on by the QB run game. We don't have that with Quinn, which makes the OL's job a lot more difficult. If Georgia plays at anywhere near the level up front as October the OL will need to be ridiculous to get the running game we want going. 

Seemingly, we just aren't nearly as bad a matchup for them as other teams, including GT who can use King as a battering ram extra running back. We'll have to play very well or hope they just don't show up.

It should be a closer game, but our weaknesses are still there to be exploited - specifically, Quinn Ewers. And we cannot grind down UGA's DL the way we did against Kentucky and A&M.

UGA 24

UT 13

77 rushing yards on 23 carries
