Mizzou only got 6 first downs for the whole game and held UGA under 300 total yards and nearly beat them in Athens. We are going to curb stomp them....again.

 

[rogdochar]

Believe this is the one where they say you can throw the stats right out the window ? Two weeks for Mac to prepare
our fellows ... to stomp them. Go gators.

 

[88drgator]

Well, they have a bye too next week. Our running game is pathetic & they are not so bad on defense. So, I wouldn't be so quick to predict a blow out victory. Their losses have been to a pretty good Bama team and to UT who we barely beat. This will be a more competitive game than most are feeling on here. I think we will win but it may be close.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

Agree. Unless we are blessed with a couple of special teams gifts I see this game probably going deep into the 4th quarter, and please Lord don't let it come down to a field goal kicking contest....We ran the ball straight down their throats last year with a veteran offensive line and we certainly don't have that luxury this year. One other factor that may hurt us is Treon has to be more conservative with running because of the QB situation. I hope I'm wrong but this as well as most of the remaining games will most likely be nail biters....

Our running game is pathetic.

We saw a quick scamper for 11 yards from Jordan Scarlett against LSU. I'm hoping that's the beginning of him taking off and getting more involved. He disappeared for the last 4 or 5 games but I read that he may have been recovering from a hamstring injury. Maybe he's the answer to our running game issues. Taylor has had a good year but Scarlett is widely thought to be that next-level homerun hitter. I thought coming in to the season that Scarlett may be the freshman impact player on offense that Callaway has been.

It's a beautiful thing to be playing for the SEC east and a trip to Atlanta again. Nobody on their offense worries me, they lost everything when Chubb went down. Their defense is improved over last year, but so is our offense. I like our chances a lot, but agree that strange things can happen in this game.

 

[The Original DC]

Our secondary had a bad game against LSU, lost on several 50/50 plays. This will sit with them for two weeks and they will come out and play better against UGA.

I look at it like this, with Treon at QB no game is a sure thing. He just isn't very good. Add to that our o-line will get dominated again. It spells trouble. One problem we have in the run game is that our tight ends are useless in run blocking. I mean, they reach new levels of suckage. Luckily, we aren't going against Chubb. I still think we should win, but aren't blowing them out unless we get some turnovers.

 

[bradgator2]

We have the real possibility of shutting them out. But I dont think we'll score many offensive points either. I sure hope it doesnt come down to field goals.

So, you aren't impressed with our offense?

 

[MJMGator]

Those stats are highly misleading. Their rushing totals are greatly inflated due to Chubb feasting on cupcakes. He's gone and so are the cupcakes.

This sums it up in a nutshell...While we are amazed at our apparent turnaround, they will be very aware of what's at stake. If we win this game it's pretty much over for everyone in the east, however if they win it put's them in the drivers seat again. They're not going down without a fight.
As you pointed out in another post our secondary needs to take over this game early by putting them either 3 and out or getting an early takeaway that leads to points. I just don't think we can put this in the hands of the offense to win. We are surprisingly good in TOP because we have created a short passing game to pick up 1st downs. I think they sellout to stop this and we won't be able to rely on Harris to use his legs as much as normal to move the chains. We will need to go long and hopefully connect with Robinson, Callaway or Powell if we're left with long field position situations.

 

[maheo30]

So, you aren't impressed with our offense?

I'm actually very impressed. We had guys open all game long. I think Grier would have thrown for 400 yards. We are headed in the right direction. Treon is a guy that needs help. Hopefully our guys step up and give it to him. I'm just thrilled Turnstile Riles is benched. Now if only we can do something about Dillard.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

So, you aren't impressed with our offense?

I'm impressed that we've been able to do what we've done to this point, however Maheo is right about our TE's. There is a reason we've seen Joe Ivie and Brian Cox in the game in short yardage situations. I understand that Goolsby is only a 2nd year player but McGee has not been all that great blocking either. He was manhandled and thrown around by LSU LBer's on several occasions Saturday night.

 

[SGG]

Dobbs had 312 yards.......PASSING against them. Passing.

Let that sink in.

Passing.

This one won't be close. You give Mac 2 weeks to prepare this team and Harris, coming off a very emotional loss on the road, knowing that there's a very strong possibility that with a little help we clinch the east with a win over these guys? Blowout.

 

[gator lester]

I think freon will improve as he starts more games and gets more practice. Will improved in a similar way!

 

[rogdochar]

Hoping best for Treon for us, but Treon doesn't have the "outlook" Grier had. Treon's sight has to be more interrupted,
dominated by taller onrushers and their upraised arms -- it's his point of view that disturbs his downfield concentration.
Coach Mac has to scheme around that real handicap.

 

[jmskjrgator]

We shouldn't recruit a QB under 6'1 or 6'2". You have to see the field.

Agree. I think it may be tough to get one in 2016 now that Treon is starting and Grier will return.
