Ok ladies and gents, tomorrow is the big game day! Nothing positive that we’ve done the past 2 games matters, only the negatives against FSU week one do. It’s a clean slate and we’re back to 0-1. I’ve had a a little over a week to mull over how I’m feeling on this game and get the boards vibes.
Since there have been an overwhelming amount of “sunshine pumping” posts about why we will win and win big, I figured I would offer some counter points on where we are vulnerable that I haven’t seen yet. Without further a do:
- Kirby is 1-6 against us, he is finally going to give his best effort to beat us. You know he doesn’t want to lose this one.
- Road game woes. We are 2-4 in true road games (2-5 if you include our bowl game against Michigan). Now I know people like to point out we beat Wisconsin and LSU on the road last year, but those don’t really count so it’s really more like 0-5.
- UGA is going to be upset College Gameday isn’t coming into town, instead we get C Tier SEC Nation. I’ll bet this really bothers UGA, it’s like a slap in the face saying this isn’t a marquee matchup, look for them to want to prove a point by beating us.
- Stopping the run. It’s not secret that we have struggled with stopping the run. UGA likes to run the ball and with our poor D-Line play stopping the run is going to be an uphill battle
- Getting our run game going. You can’t win football games in the SEC without having a big time smash mouth running game, West Coast personalities and offenses won’t cut it.
- Wommack. Wommack vs Bobo is like the battle of the redheaded stepchildren. Could come down to who calls a worse game sine they both will more than likely be terrible.
- The weather. With the weather forecast looking like we might get some sprinkles, we have to wonder if we will be ready. We haven’t played well in the rain recently and if it rains against UGA I’m nervous we might start slipping a lot.
