Scouts' Edge
Georgia should be able to limit the effectiveness of the Tennessee rushing attack, which will place too much pressure on Bray and his pass protection. Look for Grantham to get aggressive with the blitz package, which has proved to be Bray's Achilles' heel. The Bulldog offense, led by veteran QB Murray and rookie RB Gurley, should feature more of a balanced attack with fewer mistakes. Georgia will make it three straight wins versus the Vols in what could be a lower-scoring affair than expected.

Prediction: Bulldogs 34, Volunteers 23

I like their scoring prediction a lot more than others that I've seen.

They're not going to have a problem scoring, we might. I think 23 points would be a feat against that defense.

I'm not so sure I would say dealing with blitzes is Bray's biggest problem. I think it's still reading the coverage and knowing, or not knowing in his case at times, where an extra guy might be where he's throwing. I'd say about half of his interceptions are not from bad throws, rather they are from bad reads, and not expecting or seeing that extra guy in coverage.

I'm not nearly as high on that defense as some seem to be. They haven't played anything resembling a decent offense.

I don't think that we match up well against them. They don't have the talent that UF had in the secondary but their front 7 are still going to be beastly.

No run game leads to more passing. More passing leads to more 3 and outs. More 3 and outs lead to D getting gassed. Gassed D gives way to UGA scoring more. UGA scores more, we have to pass to attempt to stay in it, which creates a problem that exponential worsens as the game wears on.

Tennessee will play the University of Miami in the 1985 Sugar Bowl. Miami enters the game with Heisman trophy winning quarterback Vinny Testaverde leading the offense. Also, on offense will be Alonzo Highsmith and Michael Irvin at wide receiver and Warren Williams at running back.
The Hurricane defense features Bennie and Brian Blades, along with Melvin Bratton and Jerome Brown.
Tennessee comes in to the Sugar Bowl with their second string quarterback behind center. Heisman hopefull Tony Robinson was lost for the season during the Alabama game.
This game should not be much of a match up. Miami should win handily and the game should be over with for all intentional purposes at half time.

Your statement about bad reads/bad throws makes no sense. If it's a bad read, then it's a bad throw period!

I think that it will get ugly once we've shown our hand on offense.

We seem to run out of plays on offense, then the defense gets worn out and the opponent is able to close it out late because of that.

I like where your head is, but this Vols team is a completely different squad than the SugarVols.

I'd be a little more receptive of your parallel on this one if our defense was doign stuff like this

You can't spell ugly without UGA

how many times do you think we throw the long ball in 1 game ? not being smart or anything.Tn throws more long balls than any team I have seen.I dont think we have a lot of plays in our playbook.Im sure there all on 1 piece of paper.

If it's a bad read, it's a bad decision to make the throw. A bad throw is throwing behind/over/under your receiver and the guy covering him one-on-one easily intercepts it. A bad read would be a throw where your receiver is about to catch a well-thrown ball, except a guy coming across that the QB didn't see steps in front and intercepts it. There is a difference. Oh wait... There is a difference!!!

Well, we got "Justin go long" and then we got "Cordarrelle go long".

I heard that we might be working on a third play for this week.

Actually it's not that simple. it is more like murder and killing. A bad read can lead to a bad throw but a bad throw is not always because of a bad read. A bad throw can be a ball that was just off target or the QB saw exactly what was going on and tried to fit it in there (Bray does this less often than most think). A bad read is where the QB just plain did nt read the coverage and from his persepctive a LB,Safety,Corner just appears out of nowhere and steals his lunch. This is where most of brays ints come from, good throws on bad reads.
