Statistically speaking, this shouldn’t be a particularly close game. Phil Steele’s Vegas Power Ratings has Georgia as about an 18.5-point favorite on a neutral field. Sagarin has the Dawgs about a 14-point favorite at Lexington.
It’s always a coach’s goal to make the other team one-dimensional on offense and Kentucky makes that pretty easy. The ‘Cats are last in the conference in passing yards per game and twelfth in passer rating. (In their last game, they were 5-14 in the passing department, for 50 yards and one touchdown.) They do like to run the ball, but other than Ole Miss, there isn’t another defense they’ve dominated.
They’re basically a well-coached bunch that tries to rely on their defense (third in the SEC in defensive yards per play) and screwing up less than the other guy. UK is second in penalty yards per game. (Georgia is last.) UK has won the two games in which it has finished in positive territory in turnover margin and lost all three games in which it hasn’t.
Job one for Georgia, then, is pretty obvious: First thing, do no harm.
Assuming mission accomplished there, my big question of the day is whether Monken embraces Kirby’s inner manball or tries to run some semblance of the passing attack we’ve seen through the first four games to give Bennett an opportunity to work out some of the kinks. I can’t say for sure what we’ll see, but I have to believe Smart saw Missouri run 92 plays against UK last weekend.
As an aside, speaking of Bennett…
Oh, yeah. Today features the number two and number eight teams in the country in punting. Be still, my heart.
All in all, it adds up to a low scoring affair in which Georgia covers. Say somewhere in the 24-7 to 28-10 range. Let’s hope the Dawgs get out with a win and no injuries today.

Kirby always learns all the wrong lessons. When he loses, he runs back to his play not to lose, manball binky.
This was the perfect week to either get Bennett more comfortable with Monken’s offense or get another QB prepared for the rest of the season.
Instead, Kirby mandates manball, a style of offense that will not beat Bama or Clemson, and he emphatically states winning the SEC East is the only goal on the table. I hope y’all will enjoy the Peach Bowl this year, because that’s all we get this year, with this defense.
What a waste of a fucking year. What a waste of Todd Monken. Don’t expect him back next year, either.

I don’t think Florida has the offensive or defensive line to play on the level that Kentucky did today.
Georgia can beat Florida playing manball. Nobody wants to hear that, but I believe it and I’ll take it. I could certainly be wrong, but that’s the way I see it.

Same way I knew Fields was better than Fromm.
Guess Kirby watched the wrong film when he started Eason over Fromm.
If you think another QB couldnt have produced the performance that SB did today, you truly are an idiot.
Shut up! No one has seen the film but the coaches. Guess the Senator should shut down the blog since his thoughts are irrelevant based on your logic.

It’s a really wacky year. And Kirby doesn’t like Florida. I don’t expect it at all but if Georgia wins 45 to 10 it also would not be surprising.

Had to step out and do a bit of shooting. Usually me n Whoredawg Hans pop off a couple of mags during the interminable commercials. Well Manball Kirbs wasn’t having none of that, was he. The commercials broadcast were short and I think I was power napping as I bore easily.

I can’t imagine one offensive recruit sitting at home and dreaming of playing for Kirby Smart right now.
He’s gonna have to sell Buster Faulkner in a big way over the next 6 weeks, because I can’t imagine Monken sticks around for the disappointing Peach Bowl after the way Kirby must have interfered over the last two weeks.

I still wish he’d be more decisive and keep a better base. His stutter steps and leaning over his shoes annoys me.
If he kept his head up and eliminated the stutter steps he’d bust a lot of big runs imho.

I agree but I think he’s still recovering after 2 knees and not playing for 2 years. As frustrated as I often get with the offense, I’m certainly thankful that we CAN still man ball. That game could have been even closer if we had to throw the ball.

What we have here is a failure in the passing game and a QB who has not progressed much this season.
I’m all in with former legendary kicker Kevin Butler…Kirby has no passing game, and it will catch up with him and his lackluster offense.
Smart can sugar coat that game all he wants, but his QB is a major problem to success, not only with his passing game, but his play in non-passing situations.
Same old same old offense.
