I hope we can stop Moreno and Brown

both are hungry to prove they should be starting, so they are probably looking for big games. It would be nice to shut them down and come out with a W.

It might be too much to ask our defense (given this season's track record thus far) to completely stop the dynamic duo of Brown and Mareno... I just don't see it happening. IMO- the Vol defense can only hope to slow them down.

I hope Ainge and company are red hot on the other side of the ball come Sat. We will need a high score to defeat the Bulldogs.

Need to get ahead early and force UGA to go more pass than run, playing catch up in other words. That would be the best help we could give the D.

fortunately, stopping the run is one of our strengths. unfortunately, strengths are relative

Brown and Moreno will gash us for 200 at least..would not surprise me if Georgia found a passing game...seeing how we will gear up to stop the run

I believe you are 100% correct and I think this would be our ticket.

If our Defense could stop the run for a few series and Ainge could score every series it would definately help our Defense.

You can improve the offense throughout the season by making changes here and there. Improving a defense is usually not possible. We'll see what happens. Maybe our D is not as bad as advertised and they just had a few bad performances.

It seems to me like they have the potential to make the plays, but they just dont play with the same intensity of a vols D, they stepped up and showed that hard hitting intensity in sperts in the second half of So. Miss

Note to D:

Run through the ball carrier. Not to the ball carrier, drop head to ground and then dive at air.

Spurrier laid the blueprint out on how to beat Georgia...question is: what will we do? and how will our defense react if the game is tight at the end like it was at last years LSU game...I for one think we can and will beat GA, worried about MS State though...

I don't understand why people think UGA has an awesome O.

They scored 35 on OK ST, who is 97th in total D.
They scored 12 on S Car., who is 26th in total D.
They scored 45 on Western Carolina, enough said.
They scored 26 on Alabama in OT, who's 29th in total D.
They scored 45 on Ole Miss, who is 108th in total D.
Alabama has played Western Carolina, Vanderbilt, and Fla St to help pad their D stats.
So basically S Car is the only decent D they have played and they only scored 12 on them. I know our D sucks, but we are better than OK ST, Western Car, and Ole Miss atleast. They will not score over 20 on us unless we don't show up.

Hell Yea! I can't wait, I live in Columbus Georgia so I'm surrounded by UGA Fans. Nothing pleased me more than going to the Gym last year wearing my UGA Bit off More than he could Chew T shirt when we hung a half a hundred on them.

When I am deciding who to pick in my underdog pools I just go by simple averages on these things. It's not the most scientific way of doing things but as the season progresses I think the averages tend to become the rule rather than the exception. This is particularly true IMO in cases where you have two teams such as UTK and UGA that are not particularly noted for being outstanding on a particular side of the ball.

UGA is averaging 32.6 ppg and the Vols are giving up an average of 37.5 ppg. Split the difference and UGA should expect to score 35 points on the Vols.

Meanwhile, the Vols are averaging 34.5 ppg while the Dawgs give up an average of 17.2. Split the difference and UTK should expect to score 26 points on UGA. If you want a cherry on top you can spot the Vols a field goal for home field advantage but that still puts them about a TD away using my admittedly unscientific approach to prognostication.

back out the ST touchdown and the Defensive TD and we should be fairly evenly matched. You don't think we can keep giving up gifts forever, do you?
