Richardson returned to the game after he went out. Jefferson was 7 for 15 passing (212 yards, had an 85, 48, & 21 yard completion) - so he's not necessarily the best passing threat. He's a big boy, but I see him struggling vs. UGA's front. He's a new starter and going into Athens. As I said earlier, I think UGA's defense forces them into mistakes and that will lead to a couple of easy/cheap UGA scores. It's just hard to see UGA covering 18 points regardless.
That 85 yd touchdown was a perfect pass s d catch.
Very nice touch on the deep ball.

Sell everything, cash out your 401k and other investments, borrow every dollar you can scrape up from family, friends and co-workers, and put it all on the pigs with the points. You can thank me later from your new retirement home on Lake Como.

It's a noon game so most of the fans won't get in until 1:30

That’s a very surprising number. Are Ugly fans are betting heavily no matter what the line?

Somewhat unrelated, but Arky certainly put to bed for a while the idea that Dumbo was turning A&M into a contender. Prior to Saturday, they beat up on Kent State and New Mexico sandwiched around a 10-7 game with Colorado. Other than a long TD run their offense couldn’t really do much. To Ox’s point, it makes me wonder what makes people think Uglys offense is any better than A&Ms?
After Kirby’s call to show the dawgs could put away people they have some irrational exuberance.

Interesting game. That's a lot of points. I think UGA is the most overrated team in college football by a wide margin.

Discuss.
The only team overrated more than Notre Dame on a regular basis is Jawja. Let's see....how long has it been since they won a Natty? Oh yeah, 40 years. What a coincidence......

Are they expecting the score to be 13 to negative 5? Because I haven’t seen any evidence that the buttlickers can score more than that against air.

I would also take Boston College and 15 against Clemson.

I'm not quite as bullish on your uga/Ark pick, but that one actually does look really tempting. A 4-0 team going against a 2-2 team struggling to find direction, and they're getting 15 points? Wow.

Incredibly, the line has actually gone UP to 18.5, as more people are betting UGA to cover.

Its at Sanford. I think crowd noise, esp early this season, is a much bigger factor than its been in a long time. Clemson is looking like crap so that win is losing some worth. Going to be an interesting game for sure and I really have no idea how good either of these teams really are at this point.
It's an early game. Those students do not show up on time for an early game. I know. Younger son graduated from there 11 yrs ago and we went to some of their games. Nothing's changed since. Their crowd noise is nothing like ours.

I think Georgia could easily cover. But since it's Pittman, Kirby will call the dogs off after the half and final will be closer to the spread.
So what's your spread on a A&M vs Ugay game....30?

And ours show up?

I’ve dogged our students for years. HOWEVER, this year they have shown up and shown out. Except for the annoying 3rd down bull**** of holding your arms up and pretending you have dolled in your hand. Many of which are silent as the grave while doing it.

TV stills looks 50%-ish empty. Ridiculous. we used to smuggle extra people into our rows.

It SHOULD be the student section leading the way and making the most noise. We used to make fun of the old people on the west stands who wanted to sit down and not make noise.

I can tell you from being there, it is 90+% full not sure when the shots you are referencing are taken.
