Roadmap to beat UGA

[Smokeymountain]

I think we have same defensive game plan as Kentucky. Keep our defense on the field 45 minutes until last possession wearing out Ga offense. Then blitz and hold dawgs and kill clock.

Considering that barely worked against Kentucky you want to try that against UGA?

If the end result was the same, yeah.

 

[Smokeymountain]

If the end result was the same, yeah.

You truly think it would be? Cause I don’t.

Agree, we have to have big plays like at KY. No one knows at this point if GA D is susceptible to big plays but if they are Heupel is guy that can figure out how to hit them.

One reason no big plays, ga d doesnt give qb much time for receivers to get downfield

Guess it would depend on what our offense does during the 15 minutes they have the ball.

It just got easier. Arian Smith has a broken leg. Our top 3 WRs are out.

Not sure Tennessee was game planning for a guy with 5 catches on the season.

He just came back. Is our fastest WR. Runs the 100 on the track team, 10.28 IIRC.

My point is that UGA hasn’t had him all year. So Tennessee is still playing the same Georgia team from the tapes. Losing Bowers would’ve been a bigger blow.

 

[cgrish]

I just don’t want him to get hurt. We need him rest of the way too badly. Double edged sword for sure and I hate the situation

If ga has a big lead at halftime i would pull hooker

Boy we have a lot of time on our hands. There is always a possibility of a miracle. a record number of turnovers, a key player or two goes down, or the most likely, the referees flip out and decide to call the game for UT. Heupel has been pretty dang smart like a fox in calling plays that the other coach and staff did not see coming. At this point, I think our O line, receivers, and Herndon are playing as well as anybody. That means most of the "difference" has to be on the Defense. Can they play a full game at half the manpower of the Dawgs? Gonna attach a neat story I heard in Boy Scouts about overcoming all the odds with decoys. Go Big Orange! https://historycollection.com/12-greatest-military-bluffs-history/

If UT has success at anything early then it will open up the rest. UT needs to find success either with some big runs or pass plays early.

That is not, nor will it happen. That is the one thing I would put money on. If hooker can stand up, he plays. This coaching staff is not wired like that.

The road map is three years of elite recruiting to add to this system.

 

[SteensVol]

Put Milton is as a decoy WR! Fake a throw his direction and run a wheel route.

 

[SteensVol]

Just make sure he lines up inbounds!

 

[VolDaddy61]

Maybe this game calls for a bit of unconventional thinking. I'd be in favor of going for it on fourth down whenever UT crosses the fifty and aren't in field goal range. I'd almost rather "give" them a short field and keep them out of the end zone, than subject our defense to long sustained drives.

 

[Indianrick]

Sleeping gas in the GA. Locker room before they come out for kickoff and they have to forfeit.

 

[Nugget]

No one else has been able and with our oline......well you get it...

Unfortunately, but there is always wishful thinking.

 

["It's Time"]

I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if we beat them. Obviously, it’s not likely, but they don’t call him Kirby dumb for nothing.

If we make it to the 4th, and that’s a huge “if.” I 100% believe Kirby will make 2 or 3 decisions that will give us chance to upset them.

 

[CAVPUT]

There is no running the ball.

Just. Ain't. Gonna. Happen.

OC hopefully thinking dump screens in response to strong DL pressure. Bombs to keep their D honest, combined with quickouts and slants for the money.

Honestly, the odds of us pulling the upset are razor thin, but I gotta say, if anyone could pull it out, Huepel could.

When I think of Cooper going against this guy.....

 

[stewart6600]

Why can't Tennessee just pound the rock against Georgia?

We need Evans and Small healthy for a full game. The Oline needs to play out of their minds. If we keep Hooker upright Georgia better look out.

 

[cgrish]

That is not, nor will it happen. That is the one thing I would put money on. If hooker can stand up, he plays. This coaching staff is not wired like that.

After thinking about my statement, I change my mind, lol. It would really go against the mentality of your team giving their all for the full 60 minutes regardless of the score. It would be like giving up way too early in the game.

 

[ZippyMorocco]

I watched the UK game today. Listening to Beth Mowans is torture.

Hooker is going to be really good. The WRs are good. The D line can't shed blocks. You don't tackle well.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

If I was Georgia I would take a knee on 1st and 2nd down, then have Stetson scramble on 3rd down. It completely blows our minds every time.
