Mine is big Orson Charles. Our LB's will have a very tough time matching up with that guy. More than anything he is what concerns me this saturday. If he gets down the field and occupies our LB's it could be trouble for us. Hopefully the D is working on that right now.

Would love to hear everyone else's take and biggest concern.

That's a good one. I'm concerned about him matched up with AJ Johnson specifically and I'm concerned about Crowell getting around the edge.

I worried about our DB's being so focused on covering the receivers that they allow Murray to break out of the pocket for big gains. Plus the other 2 you mentioned.

Ditto...if Crowell gets around the end effectively, this could be a very long day for us.

The other huge concern for me is our offense scoring too quickly and not allowing our defense to rest.

Murray did a lot of damage last year with his legs. Charles is a concern. Murray hurt us more scrambling, made the defense look slow.

Ummm. We lead the SEC in time of possession. We are 7th in the nation. Bray manages the offense very efficiently despite having a reputation as a gunslinger.

He and King are my biggest concerns.

This is my concern as well. I think we will have play more zone to offset this. If this is the case, Charles will destroy us in the middle.

Sorry, knew that, should have taken the time to phrase my response better.

What I meant to communicate was us falling behind and the offense needing to score quickly and often and not allowing our defense to stay off the field...but now that I talk this through, if we get to that point, there's bigger issues going on than just keeping the D off the field.

I'm thinking if we play a lot of nickel that will allow our dbs to help out with the orson charles problem.

Biggest concern?

What type of beer to buy before the game...and what type of beer to buy after we win.

I think my boss is out to get me... I have only taken off TWO saturdays this CFB season to go watch UT play(montana/buffalo) now he wants to work me right during the georgia game...:no:

Honestly biggest concern is ST...we are bad in the kicking game, we are decent in the return game....but when it comes to FG's and punting we are pretty bad.

Our biggest advantage is our ability to convert 3rd downs and their inability to convert 3rd downs.

My concern is still our running game. Got to run the ball against SEC schools.

I know it sounds crazy, but I am actually feeling a little optimistic about our ability to run the ball on Saturday (for no particular reason). I am not saying that we will run for 250 yards, but if we can get a back to 100 yards, or at least get 2 backs in the 70 yard range each, then that should be enough to give Bray some breathing room.

I think our focus should, first and foremost, be to protect Bray at all costs. Run game or not, if we give Bray time, he can win this game for us.

Gotcha, on the other hand, if we are scoring, even fast, then we have a chance.

What I would be worried about is trying to run the ball if it is not working and getting into a lot of 3rd downs to begin with.

We have wasted a fair amount of downs on short running plays because the defense is keyed on stopping the run and we just aren't that good. Why gain 1 yard on first down running it if you can gain 8 yards on a quick out or a slant.

Georgia's DBs do not scare me at all, and if they try to play close to Rogers, he will eat them alive. They will be giving him the short yardage stuff and trying to contain.

Wilcox loves using DBs. Therefore, I am sure Charles will have a corner on him a majority of the time.
