Why this game will be the best of the year.
Before I get into my analysis on this big rivalry game, I gotta talk about this stupid weather! I hate being cold, and the one thing I hate more than being cold is the stupid weather people making cold jokes while I'm trying to figure out if I need to wear a blanket outside or go kill a Grizzly Bear so I can have some freaking fur!
But I know one thing, the offenses for Georgia and Auburn will "heat up" the field this Saturday while the defenses for both teams will not be able to catch a break. Both teams are 7-2 and both teams will be fighting for their playoff lives this weekend. The other thing that is surprising about this game is that both of these teams have suffered unbelievable losses this year to below average football teams. The Florida loss for Georgia was one of those things that just made me want to throw up, Georgia was so bad in that game and now their playoff destiny lies in the hands of Missouri losing a conference game so that Georgia can have the tie-breaker. Watching Texas A&M beat Auburn was shocking as well. True Freshman quarterback Kyle Allen went into Auburn and won that game like a boss! So now both Georgia and Auburn will without a doubt in my mind put everything on the line to survive this weekend.
UNLESS YOUR THE NCAA
Todd Gurley is finally free to ball this weekend! Yes I know that it was his fault that he was suspended for a month, but all of that is in the past. Gurley along with Nick "Chubby" Chubb will be the reason why Georgia will win this game. I know that Mark Richt wants to have a balanced offense, but when you have two guys at running back that could play in the NFL right now and your at home in front of a hundred thousand UGA fans, you gotta give the people what they want and that is to Run the Damn Ball! I believe that Gurley and Chubb will both have to carry the ball at least twenty five times in this game. Running the ball this much will not only give us a better opportunity to score, but Georgia will also have control of the clock and give Gus Malzahn's fast paced no huddle offense little time to be productive.
At some point, Mark Richt has got to show the UGA faithful that he is a national championship coach that can win big ball games. He is a good man, but his coaching has been wildly inconsistent over the last seven years. When expectations are high for Georgia, Mark Richt finds a way to screw it up, but when nobody expects Georgia to be good, Mark Richt finds a way to make a bad team good. For once I just want Mark to win when he is suppose to win a take this team to a national title and that starts this weekend or those discussion boards will be crawling with "Fire Mark" posts. Ultimately I think Georgia will win this game by three points. Maybe 38 to 35 or 45 to 42 I really don't care what the score will be, I just hope Georgia finds a way to win this game!
