The oddsmakers and a growing group of the football talking heads are trending towards Tennessee knocking off Georgia. This is nothing more than rat poison and Kirby Smart is the bartender. Georgia has a history of sleepwalking or possibly playing possum in these early cupcake games. I'm of the opinion that he either intentionally does this or at least uses it to his full advantage. This is the perfect opportunity for him to cultivate a Georgia against the world mentality. I'm not falling for it, and I certainly hope the team doesn't fall for it. This game will be a rock fight.

Not much we can do about it. I just hope our guys know that even if they are favored by 100 they have to play their best game to knock UGA off.

Georgia is gonna Georgia. They are a lot like Florida in many ways when it comes to playing Tennessee: look like garbage against inferior competition, likely drop a game or two that they shouldn’t later in the season, but they will ALWAYS look like world beaters when playing Tennessee, so I expect to get their best on Saturday.

When was the last time that we thoroughly dominated Georgia? 2009?

I'm glad our QB has been vocal about not falling for the rat poison. If the boys just keep their heads down, fight and grind for 60 minutes, we win this game. Gunner Stockton is not that good of a QB. A serviceable QB? Yes, but if we keep him on his ass, and on the sidelines, we win.

Make Gunner be a Runner. Our DE play can rock his world. Keep his rear end on the grass with his helmet turned sideways. Hit him hard and often. Whose D Line plays best may be the deciding factor. Our secondary must provide coverage and not allow them to convert third and long situations. We gotta get off the field.

Good grief , uga has been the best team in CFB for the last 10 years , “ rat poison “ is some made up media bs. They are FAVORED on all betting lines. Hard to be disrespected when you are actually expected to win the game

I don’t care what anyone says. Georgia changed last year when they limped into the playoff and got knocked off by Notre Dame. This IS NOT Georgia of old. You can choose to accept that or you can continue to fear something that is not there. Gunner Stockton cannot throw the football down field. He has missed or refused several times. Will it be a tough game? Absolutely, it’s the SEC. Could Georgia embarrass us? Sure, but we’d have to have an absolute meltdown. Tennessee looks a heck of a lot better with Aguilar at QB and yes I know we played Cuse and ETSU, and anyone can call me bias or whatever, but this Tennessee teams feels different for the first time in a couple of years. Anyways GB🍊!

They’re probably doing the bidding of the gambling sites that have infected all of sports media with advertising. IMO they need more money on Tennessee or they think Georgia will cover. The football talking heads are full of sh-t and will say whatever they’re paid to say.

I am cautiously optimistic. I agree that listening to the media is Rat poison. Both teams are going to show up pissed and ready to go. I hope Neyland is rocking and Stockton stays on his back!

Well.. We'll get to see how Aguilar does under pressure. He's been pretty clean for two games. Georgia will come after him Saturday. New Oline will be tested early and often.

I can promise you no coach wants his team to sleep walk through any game, even against Southeastern Middle Rhode Island Tech A&M.

I am quite sure they hold the playbook back during these games, but no coach wants to see missed assignments, drop balls, missed tackles, dumb penalties, turnovers, etc. And UGA had plenty of those the first 2 weeks.

This exactly^. Does Kirby take some bad moments in cupcake games and stick a poker up his players arse and start the normal yearly gaslighting some dumb players yearly and they fall for it. For sure, all coaches do that.

One thing to watch is that UGA has been pretty bad on 3rd down all season. Their 44.83 conversion rate currently ranks them 52nd in the nation. And this is with playing 2 cupcakes to start the season.

Of course they were also poor on 3rd down a year ago and they still beat us handily, so what do I know.

It won't matter. Both teams have enough motivation, it will just be a matter of how they execute. The only way Georgia would have overlooked Tennessee is if they had played someone like Alabama last week. Georgia has basically had the offseason and first two weeks to focus on Tennessee.
