Well, it’s finally here. Congratulations, you’ve made it through the offseason! And today, your reward for that is simple. Forget about Alan Judd and the talk about three-peats (although my bet is the broadcast team won’t let you off that easy). You’ve got a real football game to obsess over!
I am still marshalling my strength after a rough year, healthwise, so my plans are to watch the game from the cozy confines of Section HD. But whether you’ve headed to Athens (what, you haven’t left already?) or watching the broadcast like me, you’ve got three+ hours of Georgia football ahead of you.
Sure, it’s an FCS opponent. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be plenty to watch. How does Beck look, running the offense for the first time when it counts? How does the running back position sort out with the injury situation? Does Dominic Lovett take charge the way I’m hoping he does? And on defense, who starts at the second cornerback spot? Does Mykel Williams take the next step? Does Tykee Smith, after two seasons of waiting, finally get to flash all the promise he brought with him?
The line is now up to -51.5. Kirby’s gonna have to work hard not to cover that. I have a strong suspicion that Beck won’t play much, if at all, in the second half, but they’re going to want to give Brock and Gunner meaningful snaps today, so the offense will still be moving the ball in the latter two quarters.
That said, things are going to be as vanilla as vanilla gets. There’s no reason to show South Carolina anything meaningful today. Although I would absolutely love it if Mike Bobo trolled the world by having the offense come out in the I-formation.
Oh, and no injuries, fellas, okay?
