If you thought Alabama’s offense did a distressingly great job creating big plays in the SECCG, you’re probably not gonna like this stat:
And it’s not a cheap stat, either: 17 plays of 50+ yards, 10 plays of 60+ yards and 6 of 70+ yards.

Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Get The Picture 
Really interesting stat for a team with a Man-Ball reputation. Thanks for triggering my Munsonian insecurities three weeks before the game.

Yeah, that’s very tough to do when you’ve only had four games total all season with over 200 yards passing.
But, as is mentioned elsewhere, I hope that our excellent tackling and excellent front seven will mitigate any massive gains.

Big difference in a conference that can’t tackle and playing against a team that excels at stopping the run, meeshigun does have a couple of rb’s, does Coach Lanning stop the run and confuse the opposition qb…see ya in Miami…GO DAWGS!

If they don’t come out and shut down Michigan and its run-first offense, then this defense is either nowhere near as good as was thought, or something has gone very wrong on the mental front.

I am utterly incapable of picturing us doing anything but losing at this point after getting wedgied, pantsed, and kicked in the nuts repeatedly in Atlanta. I need more time.

To be honest, in my current mental state, I think I prefer losing to Michigan. I might never recover from losing to Alabama for the third time in 15 months. It would probably make me stop watching Georgia football all together. And I’ve been watching the Dawgs all of my 64 years.

Don’t worry, the football gods are not done with us yet. We’ll destroy Michigan, which will get everyone’s hopes up. THEN we will go and let Alabama give us a turbo-wedgie, pull down our pants in front of our girlfriends, and kick us in the nuts repeatedly.

numbers are “through 12/04,” so yeah ¯_(ツ)_/¯ – I did go back and look, and our defensive #s are for ALL long plays from scrimmage, where the Michigan #s are for plays of 50+ yrds. IF you look at ALL long plays from scrimmage >10yds, is 68th in the country.
Again, in my experience, statistics are mostly made up and flatulent.

I’ve physically tossed a friend from my house for saying, “I hope the Braves lose so they don’t embarrass us in the playoffs again.” “The Dawgs suck!” is what got him banned permanently.

There is only one way this will end UGA vs. Alabama for all the marbles. I am a true 100% dyed in the wool bama fan. But… It won’t be any other way. Uga is for real. Michigan will choke on the dawg defense. (and personally it’s sweet to think about our neighbours hanging an old fashion flogging on those dirt farming sheep loving…. PEOPLE) . No my southern brethren, there is no other way than the real game of the century where UA and UGA put ir all on the field.
