Game Preview
If there is a bigger game this season, please tell me where it is.
For those of us in the Southeast, I doubt many would argue. The hype for this game started in the final minutes of last year's game.
If you don't remember, Georgia won that one, 42-30.
This year both teams enter the game having lost one game. Both teams are ranked in the top 10, and both teams still feel they have a shot to play for the National Championship in Miami.
That dream ends for one of these teams on Saturday. The loser will most likely not play for an SEC championship this year either.
This game means everything to the players, the coaches, and the fans.
If you are looking for a game with everything, you just found it.
Star players, fast-paced offense, a wild and crazy crowd, and of course, a little drama too.
So settle back and enjoy. Verne and Gary D will have the call on CBS at 3:30pm.
Georgia wins the game if...
The offensive line keeps doing what it's been doing...
The young UGA offensive line has been talked about all year long. Despite numerous injuries, shifting positions, and playing freshmen and sophomores, this group appears to be coming together at just the right time.
Matthew Stafford is finding the time to survey the field and find the open receiver. Knowshon Moreno is finding holes and lanes to shift in and out of on his way to 100-yard rushing days.
Why? Aside from the obvious talent that these two have, one of the main reasons for their success is the way the offensive line is playing.
If they continue that on Saturday and give Stafford and Moreno time and space...Georgia stands a very good chance of winning.
Georgia gets some serious pressure on Tebow, just like they did last year.
Everyone knows that Tim Tebow won the Heisman last year. He is truly a great talent. He has plenty of weapons around him.
Georgia must find a way to pressure Tebow. Blitzing is dangerous when you are playing a team with speed. Florida has plenty to burn.
Willie Martinez will need to scheme and disguise and try to keep Tebow guessing. If Georgia can succeed and not let Tebow beat them, we should win the game.
Georgia sacked Tebow six times last season. Pressure will help keep Timmy T out of rhythm.
A couple of turnovers and three or four sacks should go a long way in doing just that.
