Running down Hill

LSU’s lead back is a formidable runner, especially early.

I will say that I’m more worried about whether he can do more damage running to the outside than up the middle.  Moving Garrison Smith to the nose for the Clemson game seemed to solidify the Georgia run defense in the middle.  But the Dawgs still got gashed because the linebackers and safeties did a poor job controlling the perimeter.  One good thing about today’s game is that Georgia won’t be distracted by the prospect of a running quarterback.  On the other hand, nobody Georgia’s faced so far has a Copeland blocking for the tailback.

    I expect garrison at end today. Lots of Taylor and Mayes in the middle. I think they are up to the job. If hill gets to the second level, can anybody back there tackle him?

    Jason Street is gone forever, the Panthers are mangled mentally …7 comes in off the bench, throws the winning td pass.

    Coach Taylor and Saracen are on the field late at night…crowd noise is blasting through the stadium speakers. Coach Taylor is getting Saracen ready.

    Clear eyes, full hearts….GATA

    We’ll probably know pretty early in the game. A little known fact is that UGA has won every single coin toss during CMR’s tenure – and we’ve deferred every time.
