It is a winnable game, but it will be a tough win. Their running game could give our defense fits, so the offense will need to score points early, so that UGA is forced to pass more.
Anyways, I think a great arguement could be stated for either USC, UGA, or UF to win the East. There is no clear favorite, and it is likely that a tie breaker will occur between at least two of these three teams. That said, I think UF does surpise and win the East this year. There is lots of talent and experience on both sides of the ball for UF, and even as horrible as UF was last year, both USC and UGA still struggled to beat them. I also don't think that there are any guaranteed loses on UF's schedule as tough as it is. They will probably slip up and lose 2-3 games, but as of right now they will be very competitive in all of their games, and that's not a bad way to start a new season that follows a disasterous one.
That statement is spot on. Take UGA's run game out of the equation and we can beat them. As you point out, the best way to do that is get a big lead fast. Very good observation!
