I have two this week...My first hidden key to victory is Alonte Taylor and Bryce Thompson in single coverage. Can we leave them on islands and press GA in the trenches to shut down the run. My second is this...and I think it is right here where the game is ultimately decided. I am not concerned about total yards rushing, but yards per rush. Whoever has the highest yards per rush wins the game.

My hidden key is probably only hidden insofar as most people seem to be happy with their performance thus far. Obviously we need better pass coverage in the defensive backfield. But it probably won't be enough to shut down their offense for 4 quarters. We need to slow this game down. And we can do that with a running game that keeps our offense on the field and the clock ticking.

Having said all that, my "hidden" key is the continued cohesion and improvement of the offensive line. I don't think we've seen how dominant they can be. Today would be a good time to see it. If they can play nasty with a chip on their shoulders and to their potential, they can help the defensive effort tremendously. The UGA offense can't score if they're sitting on the sideline.

I think we can play some man and be successful. Love to see us get pressure on Bennett without having to bring the exotic blitzes....that would be huge.

I don’t think we’re going to be able to line up and run against Georgia, not because I don’t believe in the O-Line, but because I feel Georgia will do whatever it takes to stop the run. And their D is good enough to do that when stacking the box.
So I think we need to play Ty and Gray together a lot and do misdirection with multiple options. Example, fake dives to one and pitch opposite to the other, PA to one with a dump to the other her on the weak side, etc.
I also think we have a great advantage in using our RB in the passing game, split them out and make a LB cover them in man, and take advantage of that.

Honestly.... because of our O-line they are gona stack the box expecting us to run. Of course we gotta move the ball on the ground but we need to make a statement in the AIR early if we want a chance today

Both are valid, but I think TOs will be the deciding factor. Can JG keep it clean and can we get +2 on the defensive side. We may need one of those to be a pick six.

I care how many there are or where they are...please find them...they’ve been missing for far too long!

Watch for rotating coverage by the Vols. they may show a WR initially open, then close the gap quickly. Bennett could be the victim of Pruitt's D mind today.

Bryce v Pickens ... they both gonna be running their mouth and being chippy, so who gets the pi and the pf?

I don't know if we'll be able to stay in man coverage and stack the box, because they've got Darnell Washington who's a matchup nightmare. I expect short to intermediate throws from Georgia that take away our ability to cover and limit the speed of dbs

They will stack the box against the run and make JG beat them. So the run game will be tough sledding unless JG and the WR's can force them to back off...
