There is no way we are capable of lining up and “ pounding the rock “ vs UGA.
Our best chance is to “ spread ‘em and shred ‘em “.
If we catch them in a blitz, and they WILL blitz, check to a draw or screen pass.
As far as defense, all I can hope for is an improvement in tackling.

The thing is they don't blitz an inordinate amount and when they do bring pressure it's usually just one extra guy, rarely do they sell out. They don't have to. They get tons of pressure with 4 guys and even with 3. I've seen them get sacks dropping 8. Their defensive lineman win their match ups and the linebackers clean up. Everybody tackles well. Misdirection I think is our best bet, hopefully trick them a time or two for chunk plays and scores. Gotta have turnovers to have a chance. Being at home is certainly better than the alternative too.There is no way we are capable of lining up and “ pounding the rock “ vs UGA.

There is no running the ball.
Just. Ain't. Gonna. Happen.
OC hopefully thinking dump screens in response to strong DL pressure. Bombs to keep their D honest, combined with quickouts and slants for the money.
Honestly, the odds of us pulling the upset are razor thin, but I gotta say, if anyone could pull it out, Huepel could.
I think that was just a noon game and a bit of post-Florida malaise against a horrible Missouri team. They tightened up after the first quarter. I think they'll be more focused on us.Missouri was actually able to run the ball a little bit. We are going to have to find a way to get some positives in the run game. You can’t just let UGA drop everyone in coverage.

True, but this is where I think we can create mismatches with their LB's given how we spread our offense sideline to sideline. This is espcieally true if we don't give them time to substitute, set and shift at the line like they love doing. Like many have previously said, the o-lineis going to have to Hooker just enought time to hit that quick read.The thing is they don't blitz an inordinate amount and when they do bring pressure it's usually just one extra guy, rarely do they sell out.

Their linebackers are really fast and run and cover really well. When people say it's a generational defense, unfortunately what that means is there really aren't alot of weaknesses. If there was an easy answer someone would have figured it out by now. It's mid November. I do think we'll probably score more than anyone has but I don't see us moving the ball consistently on them the whole game. Kirby adjusts well too. He's got a goofy haircut but the guy can coach defense.True, but this is where I think we can create mismatches with their LB's given how we spread our offense sideline to sideline.
